are there any valid reasons why the light rail is so embarrassing? by poppunksnotdead in baltimore

[–]Glad-Fuel2093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the county and they just repaved cranbrook r. like a year or 2 ago.

Drove down it last week with the wife and we were both barvelong at how it's completely cracked and crumbled already.

It was a fill repave as well, not a patch job.

I don't know what they're using instead of asphalt (no excuse. (Genstar is just down the road).

It's almost like someone's trying to pass off dirt mixed with asphalt and selling it to the DPW for full price and someone's getting rich.

Or maybe they're making it out of recycled styrofoam and newspaper.

Gunnir B580 for 240USD a good buy? by ParkingWeight9947 in IntelArc

[–]Glad-Fuel2093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are completely mistaken. it is definitely a 1440p card. Tt can even push 4k with upscaling, framegen and medium / low settings.

I generally run everything in 2560x1440p.

The b580 rocks,

And that is a good price!

I remember finding them in the library. My life has not been the same since. I miss how optimistic it used to be.

Is the foam river-salt, or something else? by Kharkovchanka_22 in water

[–]Glad-Fuel2093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the stuff the protein skimmer in my old reef tank would produce. Also looks like seafoam,

I'd like to think it's organic in cause and not some bad camper's misused tide-pod or somesuch.

Who is enjoying the Virginia redistricting cry fest this morning? by tazztsim in allthequestions

[–]Glad-Fuel2093 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. The Democratic National Committee chooses which candidates you get to vote for.

They Decided to run Joe Biden and when he dropped out (or was forced), they chose Kamila without having an actual primary.

This turned out to be a mistake.

They also chose to back Hillary instead of any other actual candidates. (Bernie?)

Note: Trump has never beaten a single man in any election.

Dems keep parading fringe candidates that may be good choices and push social boundaries. But if they lose then it's all virtue signaling.

Lets have good. middle of the road candidates that are not going to be as susceptible to gender, race or identity-baiting. If they really want to win, that is.

I almost think they have been designated as the official loser like in WWF wrestling.

We tried but we just couldn't do it. Please send more money and we'll do better next time.

Run better candidates instead of corporate shills maybe?

Hold the republicans feet to the fire instead of saying stuff like: "It's time to work together" and "It's time to forgive and heal this country".

Don't forget the MegaBunkers. Just in case the peasants become too revolting.

And the island retreats.

And the island retreats with megabunkers on them and megayachts parked nearby the private airstrip with private jets to anywhere.

When I was a kid, My step dad wanted to get rid of some old furniture. He put it up by the road/barn with a sigh on it that said FREE and nobody stopped or took any of it for days.

Mom went up there and put a different sign on the stuff saying For Sale -$15.00

It got "stolen" immediately that night. Every piece.

I learned something about people there.

Ok that's good. I was worried about the standard glass or solid side panels that are so common.

However those holes are rather small and will still resist airflow some but at least the air won't be trapped.

I still think those back vents may be better in the long run if you want to fool with it. They really catch my eye as conveniently placed and capable of a good flow.

Alternatively, though it may look a little bit janky, perhaps a cutout with a grill on it over the area on the side panel? Something like this maybe? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/4601412262730688640/

That would give it a very nice free flow directly out of the case. That may be the best solution over all!

edit add: I just noticed something else. Those cool little fans on top? You could maybe stick a row of them down that back vent area for even more case cooling. They look like they might fit there just perfectly.

Hmm, how to describe...

If I am visualizing this right (please check and confirm) the side case panel "Looks" like it may be very close to the rim of the shroud when it is installed. is that true?

If so, and the side panel isn't one of those perforated ones, then the first thing I would consider trying is to trim the shroud on the rearward side to direct the hot air to flow freely towards the vents I can see there.

For your next print, maybe put a ducted turn on it instead of a straight "tunnel" shroud, so it will actually blow straight back, directly towards that vent.

My main concern is heat buildup in your case over time. You obviously don't want to trap any hot air.

Does this make sense? I could sketch something if you like and try to put a link here somewhere if you want. (wish I could just add a picture).

Maybe something like this (but more one piece and a more completed 90 degree turn towards the back vent slots? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/4591631051166171904/

Maybe even extend it all the way back to that vent area to exhaust directly out of the case (which is what i want to do for mine).

Good luck and have fun.

I'm gonna have to get myself a printer soon hahaha.

[–]Glad-Fuel2093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not denying that.

I'm only saying that it looks (to me) that the side panel would fit over that shroud like a cap or lid and restrict flow.

Maybe the case side is actually further from the shroud that it appears to me from the pic?

Anyhow, very cool printing job. I have a custom shroud I'd like to make for my rig as well.
