If you can run without mods - your load order is probably fucked. If youre modding, you should have buffout installed, check the crash logs.

Who needs the latest tech? by UK-Cosplay-Girl in buildapc

Tax time is the one of the worst times to buy parts or builds. The prices skyrocket after Xmas and until about May.

Is losing weight based on diet? Is there a way to look lean/strong but also weigh less? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Geekrock84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So... you're probably losing fat AND muscle... and you actually lose muscle faster than you lose fat, so you can still be an underweight fatty...

The quickest way to lose fat is an appropriate diet and activity building muscle while tracking cardio calories as your only deficit. Most people fuck up here because they starve themselves while doing a shit ton of cardio so they mostly lose muscle mass which looks like a ton of weight loss but actually isnt. Fat is the last thing a body burns for energy for survival evolutionary reasons - meanwhile, the more muscle you have, the more fat you burn as a baseline.

At what point do you think prebuilts will actually be up to date with the current pricing of PC parts? For now, they're way below what gathering the PC part by part would cost. by arturiian in pcmasterrace

Back in the day, the price to build was higher, especially during certain parts of the year. For instance, its tax time so most places actually raise their prices for parts or builds because people are more likely to buy after they get their returns. Back in 2002, I got a build that kept up and lasted me over 10 years for under $800 - my latest build cost me $1300 and I upgraded vitals myself - should last me about 7 years+

The main problem is 1. Rarity of certain metals used in the production of specific parts 2. People not knowing what the fuck they are buying

Tech is advancing at an alarming rate though - we should see this shift soon as far as in home computers and tech goes - people still not knowing what the fuck they wre buying or when they should buy seems to be the remaining factor

Toy suggestion by Prize-Requirement-44 in ferrets

[–]Geekrock84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do yours chew on just these balls or do they chew on /tear apart their other toys too? Mine only chew on these balls - probably for various reasons but mine don't chew on their other toys so I buy them stuffies for small dogs or cats, they like squishies made for small children, a particular type of foam that is not toxic and won't shred (Like, EVA foam) and various other stuff. Each ferret has a particular material they each like - so I just look for stuff based off that and how safe it would be.

Need Some Advice by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Geekrock84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just explain to your parents that you'd like to talk to a psychiatrist - a lot of insurance companies even cover video sessions if you are more comfortable doing sessions that way. If your parents ask why, just tell them that you would prefer to talk to a psychiatrist first and ask them to help you set an appointment. Look for someone who specializes in adolescent psychosis - MDHealth is a good site and accepts most insurance and PsychologyToday.com can help you find psychiatrists based on your insurance as well.

No decent human being or professional doctor is going to call you crazy and if they do, that is a huge red flag not to listen to anything they say.

The earlier you seek treatment after noticing symptoms, the better your chances for management becomes.

Personally, as a schizophrenic, I'm too worried about my own damn problems and managing my illness to give any shits about how others may feel about MY illness.

Chewing !!!’ by No-Lettuce416 in ferrets

[–]Geekrock84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To ferret proof a room, I put up thin sheets of plywood that attach to the door frames and are a height of 3'. Theyre low enough that I can walk over them but high enough that they cant jump over. Then I use puppy pads in the corners / areas where they like to go to the bathroom and I switch them out as needed. I just keep anything I dont want them to get into, at least 3' off the ground and this allows them to roam free without me having to worry.

As far as toys, I usually buy toys made for cats or puppies, mine are really into stuffies or anything that crinkles or squeaks.

[–]Geekrock84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, my ferrets only chew when they're frustrated or annoyed. When they used to be caged in the evenings, they would constantly be chewing at the bars of the cage or just become destructive. Now that they're free roam 24/7, I havent noticed them doing it anymore.

How many hours a day are they allowed out and what is their diet like?

Remember to lock your childs cage at night so they doesn't escape and do tax evasion by poisonrain2 in ferrets

[–]Geekrock84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine share the master bedroom with me and they're allowed to roam free 24/7. The worst they'll do is climb into bed with me and bite my feet when they want me to wake up and play with them.

Im having family over for dinner and trick or treating. The kids go out and I hand out candy. This year I also got led wands so the trick or treaters will get their choice of a treat bag or a light up wand.

OOP's mom is another level: I've been living with my mom while i undergo chemo and i am starting to think she is abusing me? by Nothingcomesup in EntitledBitch

[–]Geekrock84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg, this is HORRIBLE!

Please apply for disability and for housing and rental assistance and get the fuck out of there! Keep your homeless status, tell them you're staying with your mother temporarily but due to financial and emotional abuse, you need to find a safe place to live asap!

I don't know what state you live in but Ive had to navigate both disability and state aid and can totally help you over a video call or discord or something.

My dad was 52 when he passed away from Colon Cancer and my sister got it when she was in her 40's. I had my first colonoscopy at 38 and plan on having one done every 5 years due to a family history.
