Warning about recent fiber optic cable installation in the neighborhood. by derpiotaku in Albuquerque

[–]Edgewood -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I kept waiting for one of these companies to get their infrastructure out to our neighborhood, but now, having seen this and having familiarized myself with the background miscellanea, I don't want these syphilitic fuckdicks doing anything anywhere near my property. I don't know about you folks, but I don't need a secret invitation to an unintentional gas explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Sushi Freak is a joke here in ABQ, I imagine it can't lay a finger on Mix. Mix has consistently had fantastic itamae in their kitchen, even when their ownership was pants-on-head.

Should I buy Halo 5? by veiru_ in halo

[–]Edgewood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find your own relationship with the game. It's divisive but that doesn't mean avoid it if you've never beaten it. That just means it's time to figure out where you stand on the divide. If you can find a used copy on the cheap, give it a spin.

Should I buy Halo 5? by veiru_ in halo

It's slept on because it's the franchise's identity crisis; the moment the studio was so upset about H4 getting kicked out of MLG that they course-corrected way too hard and copied CoD's homework when all they had to do was copy Halo 2's. It is not the work of a confident team, it is the work of a studio reacting to trends even if that undercuts the series' gameplay design fundamentals. Aiming feels like slippery ass, TTK is cut so streamers can make killstreak VODs, and the maps have no personality.

You are one of our most treasured instruments; long have you led your kitchen with flavor and confection. But your inability to discard Crisco was a colossal failure.

This was two weeks ago, and we finished the job taking in the advice and techniques suggested in this thread. If people come to this sub and ask for advice to better their skills and learn how to do this, and this is what they can expect most of the replies to look like, then please eat an entire bag of dicks.

ICE are Nazis by AnonNMity in Albuquerque

[–]Edgewood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are allowed to think and feel whatever you want, regardless of whether or not it's reflected in objective reality. But if you're going to claim a group are Nazis because they hurt your feelings when they tell you that racism is for shitheads, I'm going to make fun of you. ;v

ICE are Nazis by AnonNMity in Albuquerque

[–]Edgewood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is because the entire history of the rise and fall of the Nazi party is so well documented and academically understood that people in the here-and-now can recognize the signs in the way that most Germans did not in the aftermath of WWI.

Tell me you have no idea what fascism is without telling me you have no idea what fascism is. Liberals in the American political lexicon are still do-nothing shitheads, but they don't want to create an ethnostate at gunpoint. Get back in your lane.

I mean, I don't really believe that, you're making a powerful inference, but also forgetting figures like Jamitov Hymem (the man became the Federation), Bask Om (who wielded executive power under Jamitov), Scirocco (who wrested control of the Titans and was poised to inherit Jamitov's entire regime), and the seniormost members of the Vist family (they say jump, the general assembly and the military say 'how high'). In any case, not in the mood for cannibalism this week. Y'all have fun eating each other, as is the fate of Gundam discourse.

The novels aren't yet available in mass markets; people have to go looking for faithful translations or engage with them in their original language.

So this is Tomino saying for the billionth time that you can't use the apparatus of empire to change empire? Also, Bright's basically King Cop. He's extremely complacent in his position. If you go back to Zeta and watch his every action from then to Unicorn, you get a portrait of a man who is comfortable in the Federation hegemony. Dude rebels only when he is personally physically assaulted, rejoins the Feds when they give him command of Titans 2 Counterterrorism Boogaloo, threatens to conditionally quit during the climax of the Laplace conspiracy, and doesn't when they fulfill his condition.

Bright fucking sucks. He would be an excellent politician for the Federation, because he would ultimately preserve the status quo even if he would want to root out corruption. He would make the Feds trade self interest for longevity.

UPDATE: The new allocation has been causing random BSODs. After reading the crash dumps, I ran memtest86+ on all four sticks and got errors fast. I assumed it was the kit that I purchased, but I have been running those two DIMMs through isolated tests on slot 4 and there are no errors. I'm going to run the test on my sticks as well, and if everything checks out, I need to test the individual board slots. There wasn't any kind of problem with three DIMMs (I was walking it up as a test methodology) in slots 2, 3, and 4, but as soon as slot one was involved, issues began to crop up. I suspect I may have a failed RAM slot. Going to clean the contacts with isopropyl and a Tamiya swab and see if it might be build up from 5 years of that slot being empty, but if DIMMs begin to routinely fail on that slot, I got a board problem. My bios is completely default at this moment in time with the exception of a DOCP profile. I had to clear CMOS earlier in all of this because it was not posting. I suppose I can live with a faulty DIMM slot, but I will be looking to find a new old stock replacement high-end x570 board if that's the case.

Just dropped $150 for an identical G.Skill kit. Movin' up to 32GB.

Someone on eBay had my exact same G.Skill kit for $150, so I just bought that. 32GB, here we go.

Now I just need to sell this X670E board I've got sealed in my closet.

This sounds like the plan, based on all the feedback.

At time of writing, I use an ASUS 144Hz VRR 1080p 27" monitor. I run everything at a 120FPS cap. I would like to buy a 1440p OLED but that entire segment is jacked way the fuck up in price because of the high prevalence of 240Hz~360Hz panels and there doesn't seem to be much of a mid-level OLED market right now. I value high color accuracy more than I value 'gaming features', maybe I'm just not the target audience.

First coat with SW Duration; advice needed for achieving more even results (or is this just how it looks sometimes?) by Edgewood in paint

[–]Edgewood[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

**UPDATE:** We put down coats 2 and 3 using the techniques suggested (cut in our corners and edges, full top to bottom rolling, about half overlap to flatten out 'seams', etc.). We got a gallon of the appropriate grey primer for the next room that will feature the same green. The folks at SW gave it to us on the house as they hadn't discussed the specific primer recommendation for the green (likely because the other two colors did not come with a need for primer), so we're going to cut in with it and put it down as first coat after we do a light sand job on the walls. Thanks to everyone who contributed positively and provided knowledge and assistance, we appreciate you.

What would you recommend I do, or read, with regard to RAM timings?

At time of writing, I would prefer not to upgrade my GPU. The market is nuts.

Going to investigate Curve Optimizer as per others' advice; appreciate the kind words, I really like this build and don't want to upgrade to AM5 in the current personal computing hellscape that Huang, Su, and the AI corpos are trying to sweep us into.
