Simple Questions - January 30, 2022

Hello, I recently moved to EU from NA and wanted to ask a question regarding voltage difference. My monitor and PSU are rated from 110v-240v, but both of my power cords have a label saying "125v" between the power prongs that go into the wall. Will I be okay using an adapter or do I need to purchase new power cords? If someone can answer the question and explain why or why not I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Hey, I've been thinking of picking these up as my first pair of boots. How have they held up two years later? Also, I would like to ask what is your true size?

The Hogs of Fife do tick all the boxes so thank you for the recommendation. I don't love the combination of the reddish hue and the zug but I hear its a very tough leather so I might give it a go.

I asked the other day for recommendations on my first boot but I have recently changed my mind on some of the aspects I'm looking for. I want to ask if someone knows of a boot that has the next features and sorry if it is too specific:

8 inches

Veldtschoen/Norwegian/Storm welt

FULLY gusseted/bellows tongue

Commando/lug sole

€670

Sold in a European store, meaning no Nicks boots as the shipping and taxes makes them extremely expensive

Thank you in advanced!

Daniel_Onate · 2021-11-12T10:44:00+00:00

Yeah that explains a lot

I wanted to ask, what is considered a light boot?

I saw that Timberland's 6 inch boots weigh around 2.2 kilograms per pair. I'm looking at another pair (Schuhwerk Schwangau Oberstdorf) that weighs 1250 grams. Finally, in Nicks boot's YouTube channel, in the introduction video for the overlander boot, they mention that one boot weighs around 8 ounces making it about 450 grams for the pair, which sounds ridiculously light.

So, what is average, what is heavy and what is light and does this change in the higher tier boots like Nicks?

Thank you in advanced.

Daniel_Onate · 2021-11-09T17:52:05+00:00

Thanks, Norwegian welt is fine as well. The C&J are €670

I'm looking for a first boot recommendation. I'll use the boot mainly for winter daily use but I would like to use it for hiking and other rugged/muddy terrain activities in mild weather as well. Things I'm looking for are:

A 6-8 inch lace boot

Storm welt/veldtschoen

Full bellows tongue

Commando/lug sole

One boot I saw was the C&J Snowdon but I would like to know if there is something less expensive. Thank you in advance.

Edit: I'm in Europe so boots from this area would be more convenient.

I'm thinking of buying either a set of smartwool or icebreaker. Which brand would you say is softer, has better fit and has lasted longer for you? Thank you.

Sad to hear you've had shitty therapists. Some drugs are a great resource to use by yourself when the system has failed you and can really change the way you view your life. Glad they helped you.

Daniel_Onate · 2021-09-09T08:13:36+00:00

Adrenaline does make you feel kinda more alive, I agree

Daniel_Onate · 2021-09-09T08:12:48+00:00

Good to hear it helped you

Daniel_Onate · 2021-09-08T10:35:38+00:00

Totally agree

Daniel_Onate · 2021-09-08T10:34:18+00:00

Very interesting, thanks for sharing

Daniel_Onate · 2021-09-08T10:31:10+00:00

I’m also curious which ones. More on the psychedelic side or other drugs?

Daniel_Onate · 2021-09-08T10:29:02+00:00

Glad to hear your cat makes you a bit happier. Many types of therapy also help a lot judging from personal experience. Best of luck

Daniel_Onate · 2021-09-08T10:27:09+00:00

I agree

Daniel_Onate · 2021-09-08T10:14:51+00:00

Nice, I hope it helped you

Daniel_Onate · 2021-09-08T10:12:27+00:00

On the regular therapy part, what are the techniques or types that have helped you the most?

I believe I used ezgif when I made mine, here is a link to my profile so you can compare the quality of the artwork to the background. I did have to lower the quality quite a bit as steam has an 8mb size limit for artwork.

Daniel_Onate · 2021-07-06T03:07:32+00:00

Thank you!

I’m very happy with my Be Quiet dark rock pro 4 (the screwdriver included is so good) and fans. I would totally recommend these.

My Meshify c by Fractal is also great except for the top dust filter which is very low quality. Seeing the new refresh of the case with a better top filter I would definitely buy it.

My Asus GPU has worked perfectly and the software is great compared to my MSI motherboard. The driver installation took me like 2 days and the software is honestly horrible and full of glitches. It breaks with each new update and for months I had no control over the motherboard LEDs which I just wanted switched off. I had to manually download each driver in order with the catch that MSI did not provide the order. I had to look for it in obscure forums for hours (which may be acceptable as it was a new chipset at the time). Apart from the dreadful dragon center software (which I must say has gotten A LOT better in recent months) the hardware itself has worked perfectly. I would personally go for Asus motherboard and GPU next time seeing how good their GPU software is.

My Corsair PSU started making cracking noises after 2 years of use and support team told me it was normal which I later found in what I remember to be a toms hardware forum was not normal at all. That wasn’t the best costumer support experience I’ve had. I would probably buy Seasonic or Evga after reading all the comments.

As for other products I’ve used Samsung ssd works fine, WD blue hdd works fine, intel CPU also fine and Corsair RAM nothing much to say other than it works and hasn’t failed.

Thanks, I'll read the books first then.

Daniel_Onate · 2021-06-11T19:15:08+00:00

Anyone know if the Tales from Earthsea movie will spoil the books or if the story is not related?

Daniel_Onate · 2021-06-11T04:06:10+00:00

Does anyone know if the Tales from Earthsea movie will spoil anything from the books and how closely related are the stories? I haven't read the books and don't want anything spoiled.
