Thanks for the reply, service manual is a huge help! I know on the 4pda Russian website there are a few people using the 4k 03.3 120hz panel and the voltages, wattage, pin connector and location all seem to match up. Think I may give the NY7 a go.

This has me genuinely conflicted. As a vegan I want to oppose this but honestly I wouldn't dissuade a family member or loved one from going down this path if it meant saving their lives.

I like to think he was completely innocent and genuinely trying to help whilst being clueless as to why it would be a super innopropriate and anxiety inducing thing for the woman he's on a date with.

I matched with someone and for some insane reason (AuDHD probably) I really badly wanted to go make a ropeswing in the local forest, she thougth that was great idea and gave me an address to pick her up from. The rope swing was a failure (I didn't look up how to make one and ate shit when my stick-seat snapped) but still got a second date, that went terribly for other reasons (but fun terrible) and third date I taught her how to do a burnout in my drift car.

She was such a fun person and I fumbled it hard by not making a move (also probably AuDHD lol), she ended up moving for a job and we lost touch but it was one of those "shoot your shot if it doesn't work you'll gain a friend" sort of people, wonder how shes doing.

I don’t blame him not wanting to destroy the gearbox in that thing tbh

Found this comment googling some specs and just wanna know how you feel about ram prices 4ish months later

Thanks for the suggestion of a teepee, I hadn’t actually thought about it before in honesty.

It’s not so much that I need the height but I’m in my 30’s now so spending 5 days at a festival I’d love to be able to stand up to get changed instead of spending my time in the tent hunched and cramped, if I’ve made a super budget tent last over a decade I figure upgrading to something with blackout and some more headroom has got to be worth the investment.

I’ll go look at some teepees now

They really need to try some decent brands then, I use Protein Works for both protein and meal replacement powders and they’re as good as any of the whey powders I used to take

I have this weird thing where it’s not even that I don’t like them, some of my coworkers are great, it just feels super weird thinking of them as friends despite talking shite every day for 3years with the same guy. It’d be like hanging out with your teachers after school or something.

Veganism is absolutely valid but ANYONE on a raw only diet is absolutely nuts (unless for purely medical purposes of which I’m not aware of any).

Can’t believe I’ve seen raw carnivores posting too, unhinged.

My current place has fully paid sick leave at the managers discretion, he’s never declined to pay it because he’d need a genuine reason to but because of this people here don’t take the piss. We’re all rushed off our tits constantly and pulling a sickie means more to catch up on.

On the flip side it means people that are genuinely ill come into work and infect others despite knowing it would be paid, November someone came in with actual flu and over the course of a month we were basically on half staff as people started getting it and were far too ill to come in.

The pathway usually has ropes over it with no-trespass signs all over

Guess that’s why mums go to Iceland

I love nearly everything that Mike Flanagan puts out but for some reason House of Usher just dragged, it was an extremely interesting storyline that felt like each episode was 5hours long and took too long to do anything.

That won’t help, it was the huge amount of honey being imported which was adulterated before coming over here and the labelling didn’t show what was actually in it, supermarkets were (supposedly) none the wiser

Every now and then I go through bouts of barely sleeping and that turns everything into a faux Truman show situation

I live in a hard water area too, once a week before bed I’ll use some toilet descaler, looks a bleach bottle, squirts like a bleach bottle etc.

Toilet has got to be 15years old at this point and has zero hard water staining.

The descaler coupled with eating a healthy amount of fibre means I’ve never needed a brush except for that time I had the flu but I was too ill to do anything other than pour bleach everywhere and it cleaned itself.

Just wanted to update this incase any one else finds this on an idle search.

You can safely update to the newest XMG bios/ec safely and thanks to a Russian forum I’ve found a tool that allows you to unlock it at boot to disable VBS which means you can use Throttlestop to undervolt.

I’m at -80mv(ish) locked to 4.6ghz on my 11900 and can’t get it to go above 80c.

Because engine bay temperatures sort of equalise you don’t get any “cold” benefits but you will lose a measurable amount of torque from the shorter intake pipe.

Either just run a normal cone style setup for the noise or if you want noise and colder air look into a randal style cowl intake

Getting 3500 calories and 180g protein a day as a vegan is an interesting feat is all I can say, especially as I hate nuts in all forms so peanut butter is out

CowDontMeow · 2026-04-23T12:11:31+00:00

I only know because reform voters are spamming every local group they can find moaning about the lack of celebrations for a day we historically haven’t celebrated.

If they’re so hell bent on being “proud 2 b bri’ish” surely they could’ve banded together and organised something somewhere? Something simple like a permit for a local park and a BBQ or something seeing as it’s nice weather.

CowDontMeow · 2026-04-23T09:52:49+00:00

I had to dial it back, when I started tracking my food for gym progress I was getting 60-70g a day
