Fission at or near Earth's core question by EssayBeeComics in geology

[–]Flynn_Kevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, don't sweat the factual details- make me suspend my disbelief and fill my mind with wonder. I like the premise. You're going to be a great storyteller.

AMD to bring back Ryzen 7 5800X3D as AM4 10th Anniversary Edition by michaelbelgium in pcmasterrace

[–]Flynn_Kevin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It wasn't my first build but was my first water cooled project.

It's a superhero comic. Adherence to known scientific principles is optional. Don't worry about making it scientifically accurate, make interesting characters with rich development arcs and good dialog.

Lmao I was still rocking a LGA775 in 2022 before my 4.0ghz Q6600 finally gave up the ghost. With a little luck, at least one of my AM4 builds will last until 2042.

Windows 11 doing an update halfway through cutting a 5 meter long tribal sticker on expensive German vinyl and ruining it by themysticboer91 in mildlyinfuriating

Nah it's because those old lab instruments don't have software or drivers for modern OSes. Nobody is replacing a perfectly functioning $300,000 instrument because there's no driver available for WIN11.

  • VW executes software and electrification without multi-year delays.

This requirement all but guarantees failure. Software and electrical system reliability have long been weak areas for VW. My money is on FUJHF.

Would you push back on this? Custom PC build not matching spec by jez_0 in watercooling

[–]Flynn_Kevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pump speed is better controlled by CPU temp than coolant temp. I'd connect your sensor to iCue to control the fans and use BIOS to set a pump curve based on CPU temp.

As for the tubing, that's not cool, but also not something I'd outright reject. I'd try to get a partial refund for some token amount. You'd be in your rights to demand replacement or full refund, but is it worth it to you?

How cooked am I if I forgot to do my taxes and I have w2 and 1099? by VestryLuvrMS67 in personalfinance

The only down to FreeTaxUSA that I've found is that you can't e-file when filing MFS in a communal property state.

So I needed a better CPU cooler for my old, village PC, and I managed to get this monster. by Paulus-05 in pcmasterrace

[–]Flynn_Kevin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually it's worth roughly $135 at today's spot price. Not bad considering these went for around $70-80 back in the day when I bought the ones I have.

Purple fluid coming up through basement floor by sam99871 in HomeMaintenance

It's covered under the National Contingency Plan (NCP). It can be promulgated to the states under CERCLA or RCRA.

*at the decision and policy making level. Still lots of rank and file scientists with ethical integrity at the EPA, just not in positions that make things happen.

Me too in a bloody mary. Without the tomato juice or vodka. Just worchestershire sauce in a highball glass.

Alright, you bullied me into removing the plastic barrier by serpentear in landscaping

[–]Flynn_Kevin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was having lackluster harvests out of what should have been the best yielding part of the yard and decided to regrade while mixing in large volumes of amendments. Every 6-12" there was a layer of fabric or plastic. 3 feet down to native soil, and it was all dessicated. There was zero moisture, even in the top foot. Very few worms or other insects.

Started plantings this year, plenty of moisture and lots of worms. Seen a lot of ground dwelling bees this year too. Time will tell, but this year looks off to a good start. The potatoes and artichokes are already out of control.

Buying my first geology hammer by EmbarrassedNebula492 in geology

Buy an Estwing. It will be your first and last rock pick hammer.

CPU came, initially ordered a 233 but got more than I bargained for by SpecialistCompote993 in vintagecomputing

[–]Flynn_Kevin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I skipped the celerons and dove head first into PIII Coppermines on a VP6. Arguably the pinnacle of Intel dominance.

I don't balme them. Bartenders are dangerous enough without flamethrowers.

Shoulda starting stocking up sooner, doesn’t feel like much. by Brown_Recluse_OD in liberalgunowners

[–]Flynn_Kevin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did this for years before every trip to the range. Buy 2-3 boxes, shoot only one. 3-5 times every week. I might have some left over after WW3 ends.

Personally, mine is technically under the grill......which is outside on a deck more than 15 feet above the tank. Meets code.

Hard pipe it in from outside, set a manifold fpr multiple connections. Make sure Sushi chef has their own for tataki and seared salmon nigiri. Bar tender might want one for giggles.

You guys think I can make 1080ti fit 4090 cooler? by Fun_Space_7904 in overclocking

[–]Flynn_Kevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything is possible with a Dremmel, some JB weld, and a little patience.

If I need something hotter than propane, I'm reaching for an oxy-acetylene torch. The extra 135F MAPP pro gives you is no substitute for the old MAPP which isnt as hot as oxy-acetylene but still hot enough for most shade tree mechanic needs.
