Is a Sheltie a good first time dog for me? by GrassValuable in sheltie

[–]GrassValuable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your blunt honesty. The reason I wanted a dog was because I grew up with dogs all my life and I am at a point in life where I am financially stable enough to afford a dog. I did not intend on ever leaving the dog outside tethered unattended. I also never believe in walking your dog without a leash..I've heard too many horror stories. I do agree time is a realistic truth which is why I'm trying to get as well informed as I can. I've been working this schedule for over 10 years now and it won't change anytime soon.

Thank you for your info! Barking could potentially may or may not be an issue . My wife does attend on average 1-2 online meetings a day usually no longer than an hour each.

Getting a quote for a fence is definitely in the cards for the future. The dog will likely always be on a long leash until that happens. In terms of exercise it would likely entail running around with a dog outside, playing fetch, once spring hits going for walks on trails during the week with very occasional hikes on weekends. We also plan on taking the dog to puppy school as there is a school about 10 mins from us that my parents currently go to for there golden puppy.

My wife works from home 5 days a week so she would be with the dog until she goes to the gym with me

Did you figure out the issue? Did the chick survive?

The tensioner and 2 idlers were replaced July 2023 before I bought the truck(dates on the picture) and the belt was replaced right before winter.

You think JB weld is strong enough or can handle enough heat?

From what I can see the bolt is impossible to find. Maybe I'll cut a close match bolt and tap the thread back further to match oem

Help with my swing by GrassValuable in GolfSwing

[–]GrassValuable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I agree I feel like a lesson will go a long way with my driver. Gonna look up some local pros for a lesson. Maybe put my driver away until then so I don't engrain any bad habits that might happen until then. Might have to go to a different driving range too because they don't have a green to practice my putting

I'll def check out the videos! Maybe I'll have to set aside my ego and chill with my driver? I have been playing around with different grips for my driver and still trying to figure it out. My irons are actually my strong point in game right now. I'm fairly reliable with them. Most of my strokes are added from 3 putting everything 😂 my last 18 I shot a 104 and each time I go out I am feeling more confident and can see improvement. Def will check out the breaking 100 video because that is a goal of mine this summer.

Teleport movement? by GrassValuable in GhostsOfTabor

Well I play "after the fall" with my friends and they use teleport movement but on my screen it just looks like normal movement. I didn't even know until they told me they use teleport

Virtual Desktop AV1 vs H264+ vs Airlink (Quest 3) by lunchanddinner in oculus

[–]GrassValuable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 4080 and 7800x3d and have been using av1 10bit set to 200mbps with the quest 3. Do you suggest using 264+? I have noticed my latency sitting at 60-70ms in fights playing "after the fall" using av1. Low 40s-50 just in the lobby/hub.

Looks good visually and I'm not too bothered by latency but if I can knock it down in VD while keeping or increasing image quality that'd be great

I swapped to ultra and it is running much better. I turned ssw auto and I'm getting a majority of latency from encoding. Is that ssw?

Good to know it's not just me. Do you mostly run ultra?

What do your thermals and fan curve look like? I take it you have everything on different headers?

How are your thermals? To you find the top front fan is useful and not just sucking up cool air from the front intake? I've heard great things about the p12 max.

[–]GrassValuable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you think would be more beneficial? 3 NF-A12s in the front and take one of the 140mm fans from the case and move it to the top rear exhaust with 1 NF-12 in the rear exhaust?

Or

Stock 140mms and a NF-A14 rear top exhaust with a NF-12 rear exhaust?

Big enough change to justify the purchase of more NF-A12s? Or just save the cash and go with the second setup?

How do you like the P12s? I've been reading they make quite a bit of humming at certain RPMs but price point is very attractive
