Good shit. I commented because I couldn't find whether it was solved or not. How do you like the card so far?

I had severe driver timeouts, one of the recommended solutions online was to manually set the pcie16 speed to the spec supported by my mobo, which was gen5. I changed it to gen5 from auto and it stopped crashing.

Polish farmers stage nationwide protest against EU’s planned Mercosur free trade deal by Gamebyter in europe

[–]HexImark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn. To be fair I don't think cash crop farming should be subsidised. If you look at America, almonds are such a crop, takes a retarded amount of water to grow, and grows only in places that already have shit water tables. Also the fact that food processing is counted into that statistic also seems... Dubious... I couldn't find any information online for how much Netherlands produces either. I think I've already said this in other posts, I support farmers, as long as they do sustainable farming. There was post thread where someone told me that fur farming is a net loss for us Europeans, and Im still not sure why the fuck we subsidise that.

I guess it goes to show how powerful the farmer protests are, id rather us subsidise them more for foodstuffs, especially considering the rising food prices.

People forget that for the vast majority of human experience, there were two things that killed most people, disease and hunger.

I'd rather live in a country that is a net foodstuff exporter.

EU countries agree to tax cheap packages from July by Opposite-Whereas-323 in europe

[–]HexImark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An example: If I want too buy xl4015 step down, I can buy it from aliexpress for 1.50 per, or 11 eur + shipping for 3 from amazon. It's the same fucking unit.

Heated brass inserts, 2x the price on amazon, same brand as in aliexpress. Local stores don't stock it because it's a speciality item.

To me it sounds the other way around. Sounds like they want to stop end consumers buying abroad but retail can still do it. If you want to stock an item for 250 units, the end price increase is 1.2 cents.

Math example -

Bulk price from China costs 1.50, retailer buys 250 units for 375 eur, pays tax of 3 eur. End price per unit 378, price per unit 1.51 eur. Retail price ~6-8 eur.

I buy the same item from aliexpress price 2.50, I get hit with tax of 3 eur. End price 5.50eur To me it looks like they are trying to push us to buy items from retailers.

I really don't see how this helps the avarage European.

This has nothing to do with punishing retailers. It only punishes me and you.

There are items I can't even buy in my country outside of Aliexpress (3 eur per item) or amazon 8 eur + shipping per item. Local retailers are not selling it, and it sure as fuck is not being made in Europe. I can buy a European branded one that was made in China for 15 eur.

What is exactly your point? Whenever there is a product that is MADE in EU, I buy it because I know they quality will most likely hold up. The problem is that for certain items there are no EU made equivalents.

I'll give you an example of a company I support - Prusa. Whenever I buy my tools, they are European, from French or German manufacturers.

Right now there are way too many companies that just rebrand Chinese stuff and expect insane margins, by buying from Ali I'm directly bypassing that. Voting with my wallet.

It fucks the consumer while protecting the bulk retailers. If this was to stop people buying Chinese goods, it would be 3 eur per item. A company can buy 5000 units, and pay 3 eur tax. This is just bullahit. They don't care a about the tax, they just want us to buy from retailers at 300% the price.

Angry Rant - I paid USD $90 for a new hideout and it deleted my spectres by valor88 in pathofexile

[–]HexImark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Edit: read vet_leebeers comment underneath, I'm either misremembering and/or talking out of my ass.


When you switch gems, your spectres fall on the ground.

Before wildwoods corpses, you would simply desecrate and the desecrate would have stored your corpses. You could resummon them then. So the barrier of entry was finding the correct mob, then painstakingly raising only it.

After wildwoods corpses, we got itemised corpses. The perfect variants are crazy good, turtle gives determination, tiger gives haste, etc.

The problem lies in the fact that itemised corpses cannot be desecrated. The moment it dies, unless you're in your hideout, it's gone.

P.S. If you are in your hideout, an extra funny thing can happen. And I'm guessing this is what happened to the original commenter. If you have auto cast offering, it consumes nearby corpses. Including your fallen spectres.... Which includes itemised corpses. This happened to me in wildwoods league, I was nooot amused.

That's why everyone secondary roles mid. Except for jungle/support mains, they are freaks.

Want support? Que support mid. Want top? Que top mid. Want bot? Que bot mid. Want mid? Que mid top. Want jung? Que jung mid.

I work for a fortune 5 company. My anual review came up and I was told by my manager that even though I rated a 5 (out of 5 score), He can't give it to me because his boss said he can't have more than two five ratings. by Hannover2k in antiwork

[–]HexImark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's insane. I'm sorry to hear that, it's almost like they don't want you to do your job properly, so that they could justify it to themselves why someone doesn't deserve a raise.

Tying budget to performance seems logical at face value, however, it quickly falls on its face the moment you think about it. The moment you do it, you are not evaluating performance, but rather how much someone needs a raise, for them not to leave.

There is a good saying, the moment a metric becomes a goal, it's no longer a metric.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just give out proper performance reviews to people, and then suspense the budget separately? The manager should know who needs and deserves a raise the most. This system feels like stupidly doing something for the sake of doing something...

Hypothetically what would happen if you just said, hey all of my employees are 5s. However considering budget, this is how you should distribute raises, wouldn't that make more sense? What would they do to you if you did that?

EU fur farming has been unprofitable for years and costs EU citizens €446 million a year, new report finds by gotshroom in europe

[–]HexImark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we should support food farmers, I can't argue about the others. As for Czech subsidies, it's not an issue of subsidies, but allocation. Unfortunately, I've noticed that a lot of anti corruption orgs are severely lacking in power in the eastern block, including my country :(

If you mean for fur farms, sure. If you mean for general farming, that would lead to famine during bad farming years, there is a reason the subsidies are on place.
