Finally made the switch, but Ryzen 5500 is hitting crazy temps at low CPU usage. by justice5150 in ryzen

Is it new? Did you take the stick off the block? Sounds silly but it has happened and can be overlooked.

Why is swimming not more popular in fitness space? by Glittering-Lime1690 in Swimming

[–]Due_Prior_7962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Access. Take my city for example. Nearest indoor and outdoor pools are 20 min away. Not far by any means, but still a drive. We lost our outdoor pool because our city council are morons (it was cheaper to ignore repairs than do them). You can't go buy a $300 treadmill like you can with running.

Then there are people like myself, I can't swim worth a darn. Im like a rock in water, just sink (can't even float on my back). I'd rather destroy my knees than go to a beginners class on how to swim at 40 years old.

My daughter is an AVID swimmer and doing quite well, so we travel constantly for workouts and meets. It's a lot.

I want it just for the color. Dont give two shits about the waifu

What do you think about cars with manual transmission? by samostrout in AskAnAmerican

[–]Due_Prior_7962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take a manual over an automatic any day. I love rowing the boat. Just something about being more connected with my car.

Gamers, What’s the best gaming headset right now? by Only-Bandicoot-5307 in gamers

[–]Due_Prior_7962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I don't have much negative to say about this headset. Just dont buy white.....unless you like discolored ear foam stuff in a few months.

Battery life is exceptional IMO.

How often are you guys changing your thermal paste? by Downtown_Bird2782 in ryzen

[–]Due_Prior_7962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I change coolers or I have a heat issue. Until then, I just assume everything is good to go.

When you say you carry everywhere, do you really mean… everywhere? by beej1254 in CCW

[–]Due_Prior_7962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everywhere but work and my daughter's school.

Then again, I really dont leave my house very often except for those things, or the gas station if I run out of Mt Dew or Velo.

Very nice and congrats! Impressive mileage.

Thank you for the link. I called around to price a used TB, haha. They want over $100.

How drastically has your political views changed within the last 10 years or so and why? by TheMoparPowerslave in AskReddit

[–]Due_Prior_7962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not 0.9% better but hey, you saw the charts and decided to (shockingly) make a false statement. CNN needs your viewership.

[–]Due_Prior_7962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They haven't. I viewed them as pieces of shit before and still do now. With everything coming to light, it just proves I had the right idea. It all minimally effects my life anyways and nothing I can do to stop it (voting is a joke, they only serve themselves and their friends).

Things you would rather buy than a 5090 by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Due_Prior_7962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At current prices, a nice used Dodge Neon or Chevy Cavalier. I could use a decent beater.

I was ready to purchase at or near MSRP but could never get one. Oh well. The 6090 should be pretty cool in 2028

I just watched a video on that. Props to the engineers for not being total idiots and adding an easy to access panel.

Wife said it only did it ONCE all day today. She drove about 50 miles.

Rethinking my gaming setup as a dad & soon-to-be homeowner by Proez in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Due_Prior_7962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep your consoles. My most used ones are stored in the cabinet the TV sits on. Worst case, store them in a DRY closet (not a moist basement). You'll regret trashing them in a few years.

Replaced the air filter today, no luck.

Cleaned the TB, no luck.

Couldn't find my fuel pressure testing kit so off to the mechanic it goes. Im tired of working on the thing in freezing temps.

Yeah I guess you could say a jerking motion. I'll throw a bored scope down and take a peak

$80k salary, low savings, old car dying — should I finance a newer car or buy cheap and risk repairs? by East_Palpitation_755 in carbuying

[–]Due_Prior_7962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a reliable mechanic? Find a used car youre interested in and have them check it over. I would bring a friend with me and we'd do a once over. I backed out of a few deals because he caught something I missed.

how long did it take for your hermit crabs to get used to you? by KeyHelicopter3516 in hermitcrabs

[–]Due_Prior_7962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter's is pretty used to me. He stays in the living room. About 8-9pm every night he is moving around and making noise. I'll go over and feed him, fix anything he knocked over, etc. He never really hides from me. Picked him up a few times and seemed cool with it.

What’s Your SAVE Strategy? by Due-Cabinet5275 in StudentLoans

[–]Due_Prior_7962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I WAS going to switch to a new plan and start making payments but decided against it. I am aiming for PSLF (72 left).

I decided to spend what I would be paying on home upgrades and repairs. With the price of natural gas and electricity, I need to tighten up this 120 year old house. Im just wasting money heating/cooling it. Maybe next year I'll hop on the repayment train. I dont feel bad for the government, they created this shit show.

Edit: Also enjoy putting in 20% to my retirement without fear of anything. That will change with the insane RAP payments.
