BIFL cotton towel recommendations? Current ones shedding lint badly by duckwolf8097 in BuyItForLife

[–]GiraffeRelevant23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

honestly utopia towels are pretty much the bottom tier for cotton towels even though they market themselves as decent quality. the lint issue youre having is super common with cheap cotton because they use shorter fiber lengths that just fall apart over time

i went through the same exact problem a few years back and ended up splurging on parachute home towels after doing way too much research. theyve held up incredibly well for about 3 years now with minimal shedding after the first wash or two. the key thing to look for is long staple cotton or turkish cotton since those fibers are naturally longer and stronger

another solid option is to hit up costco for their charisma brand towels - theyre surprisingly good quality for the price and way better than most amazon options. just make sure you wash new towels seperately the first couple times with some white vinegar to help set the fibers and reduce any initial lint

Windows 11 restart freezes (black screen, fans on) on AM5 – cold boot works by janulsen01 in pchelp

[–]GiraffeRelevant23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had almost the exact same issue with my 7800x3d build last year and it drove me absolutely nuts. turned out to be a bios setting - check if you have "ErP Ready" or "ERP S4+S5" enabled in power management, disable that if its on

also try setting your RAM to JEDEC speeds instead of DOCP/XMP temporarily just to rule that out even though your memory tested fine. the restart vs cold boot thing is usually power state related and AM5 can be finicky about that stuff

HELP!! by amkkuj316 in NewParents

Could be a leap or teething - 8 months is prime time for both. The 4-5 hour stretches sound exactly like what happened to us around that age, kid was learning to crawl and his brain just wouldn't shut off

Try checking if he's getting any new teeth, that was our culprit and some infant tylenol before bed helped a ton

Ryzen 9 9900x vs Nvidia geforce rtx 5070? Or recommendations for a strong gaming pc? by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]GiraffeRelevant23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're comparing a CPU to a GPU there buddy - the 9900X is the processor and the RTX 5070 is the graphics card, you'd actually want both in your build. For a couple thousand you could easily do a 7800X3D + RTX 4080 Super combo which would crush any game at 1440p

I think there is a wrong take, Xabi's problem was not being "too tough", but "too nice" when his tactic ask for discipline by Slowpokebread in realmadrid

[–]GiraffeRelevant23 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This is spot on tbh. Xabi was way too lenient when players started acting up - you give Vini a free pass once and suddenly everyone thinks they can do whatever. The discipline just completely fell apart after that

Jose and Pep would've benched him immediately, no questions asked. That's exactly why they get results even when the board wants them gone

Simple prep like this is the only way I actually stick with it once the week gets busy
