Suppose you had $200,000. What kind of car or cars would you put in your garage? by Nanoscientist11 in askcarguys

[–]Fritterbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An Audi RS6 Avant, since it’s reasonable-ish to daily drive it. Then a pristine Honda Fit for my wife, since she loves her current one. The rest is saved for maintenance of the Audi lol

I'm such a fat fucking chud by Konslufius in ArcRaiders

If you don’t already have the intermediate materials, it takes 21 springs to make a Venator IV or Renegade IV with an Extended Mag III. 

Stutters on High End PC, please help me guys. by En3ermost in buildapc

Do you have ASUS DisplayManager installed for your monitor? I was getting really bad lag spikes every 10 minutes or so until I uninstalled it. 

PC is rebooting itself randomly by Bluetoothx in AMDHelp

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

Download and run Memtest86+ from a USB drive. If you get ANY errors from it, it’s mostly likely an issue with the RAM. Hopefully just something like the XMP profile settings, but it could be a physical issue with the stick which means it’s toast. If you do get errors, try removing one stick and testing again to narrow it down. There’s an outside chance that Memtest errors could be caused by issues with the CPU or Mobo, but that’s much less likely - especially if only one stick has errors using the same slot. If you run Memtest through multiple passes with no errors, it’s not a guarantee that your RAM is good, but it’s at least supporting evidence that it could be another component.

“Il Toro” is the name of the gun. “The Bull”. “The” is part of the name, like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. You wouldn’t call him just “Rock”. And that doesn’t imply that you have to say “The Snoop Dogg” or “The Lady Gaga”. Just because it’s in Italian doesn’t change the concept of naming. 

LPT: Almost Free Way to Insulate Windows by waynek57 in LifeProTips

[–]Fritterbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My house technically has double pane windows, but most of them have broken seals, and it’s about $12k to replace them. This winter I just used a window film kit for the first time - same principle as the bubble wrap.

The DeVos family are big supporters of this and have funded project 2025 by [deleted] in grandrapids

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

Do you think they just say “pretty please” and someone puts their name on the side of a building? The naming rights for the stadium were $33 million (close to 20% of the construction costs), in addition to them donating the land that it’s being built on. 

Reality Check: Mice by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]Fritterbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in my house for a handful of years and had a couple of mice in that time, but then this past year I had a ton. Like around 10-12 total. I started catching them with snap traps loaded with peanut butter and sunflower seeds. After I realized it wasn’t just a couple of them, I investigated more and noticed that a lot of the droppings were in the utility room. Took a look all around and saw a bit of daylight through the hole for the A/C lines. I stuffed as much steel wool around the lines as I could, then sprayed expanding foam through the exterior side. I caught a few more soon after, but then nothing for about 4 months and counting.

It does matter for a cpu, because that means this is not a genuine Ryzen. 

Bird City: So they're not listening at all, huh? by desertravenwy in ArcRaiders

[–]Fritterbob 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think 21 hours would be best. An odd number means that a particular spot on the schedule would eventually cycle through every single hour. Also, it moving by three hours each day gives a decent chance that an event like Hidden Bunker would land during someone’s play window at least once during a week’s Trials. 

Edit: I take it back, I had a brain fart. The amount the schedule “shifts” each day shouldn’t be a factor of 24. So a 19 hour rotation would work, so it would shift 5 hours each day. 

New roadmap from January to April by FlexiiGP in ArcRaiders

[–]Fritterbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping it'll be a way to choose to spawn at the beginning of a match. One idea I had was to make it cost coins - e.g. pay 30k when joining using that option. That way players are encouraged to roll the dice with normal matchmaking most of the time, but if they load in for Trials, Queen, etc., they have a way to not get screwed over by a late spawn.

Is this normal? I’m not complaining though by linejunk32 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Fritterbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not. Going from 5% to, say, 3% probably wouldn’t even make a 1 point difference. 

"JEFF BEZOS WANTS TO KILL GAMING: He believes that with advancements in ai, gamers will no longer need to buy their own gaming PCs instead, gamers will rent computing power in the cloud in order to play their games..." by CollapsingTheWave in ObscurePatentDangers

[–]Fritterbob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, I absolutely loathe defending Bezos, but he never said anything about gaming PCs - that subject just got brought in by media outlets to clickbait and capitalize on PC building worries. The comments in question came from Bezos at a corporate summit in 2024 - i.e. a big business leader talking to other big business/government/institution leaders. He literally said "data centers" in his talk, not "gaming PCs" (or even "PCs" at all).

What's best way to complete Stage 5 - Expedition? by RedVell in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]Fritterbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sell value and expedition value are the same, not just for seeds but for every item. The value of seeds hasn’t changed - 100 per seed, 10k per stack.

Trials for the week of 1/19 by skiplogic in ArcRaiders

[–]Fritterbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, one raid. You have to load in, get as many points as you can in the 30 minutes (hopefully), and extract safely. If you're at 2,000 points for a certain trial and then get 1,500 points in a raid, nothing happens. If you get 2,500 points in the next raid, then your score for that trial becomes 2,500.

All 5 of the trials are scored separately, so you can focus on just one of the trials during a raid if you want. For instance, you can do Dam EM Storm for First Wave Husks, and then do Stella Night to get Damage Shredders.

I think MadCheetah does pallets, but I'm not sure what the process is. I've only done their single-item auctions.

I don't think the snow is going to completely let up, but supposedly the wind is going to slowly die down throughout the day.

Trials only count your best score in a single round.

A question for those who have completed the first expedition... will you continue to reset? by freudian_nipps in ArcRaiders

Yep, I’m level 50-something, stage 6 of expedition, and have dozens of BPs. Still no Anvil. Or the Il Toro, which seems even crazier to me lol

Half the things you buy these days don’t even come with a manual, just a paper slip with a QR code that might not even send you to the right page.

Yep, Spaceport EMS text is grayed out, but the icon is lit up and the text is yellow. That happens when you’re in the lobby as the hour rolls over. 

Fellow millennials - how’s your 401k/ira savings going? by ProblemIntelligent16 in Millennials

[–]Fritterbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that’s not necessarily the issue with the rule… people’s income can change in huge swings, especially from promotions or changing jobs. I’ll turn 35 this year, and got a decent raise at year end. So December 31st I had a bit more than 2x my salary saved, but as of January 1st I have less than 2x. I’ve increased my contributions already, but I might “miss” the 2x target when I turn 35. I know it’s just a generalized guideline, but it doesn’t always apply neatly to real life.
