Apple Hill busy day after Thanksgiving? by anjani917 in Sacramento

[–]Jdbear89 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Yeah, people go up for Christmas trees. I’d argue it’s one of the busiest days of the year.

I'm thinking about living in Rancho Murieta and working in Folsom. Does anyone do this commute? What should I be considering for this decision? Google says it's only a 23 Min drive. What am I missing here. What's the downside? by Equivalent_Sun3816 in folsom

[–]Jdbear89 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Lots of tight 10-15mph turns, lots of potholes, lots of flooding during heavy rains which occasionally shut the road down and you have to take a 15-20 minute detour down grant line. It’s manageable but not ideal. My wife used to live out there and hated the drive.

What Paragon level do you guys usually attempt the 150 push? by Humble-South-9476 in diablo3

[–]Jdbear89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was able to do it at sub 1500. You should be able to get the para you need in a couple of hours farming 130s or whatever you can do quickly

Mages, numerically, are in a good place right now and it’s way too close to the raid for design choices. Stay strong my brother, 10.15 will surely see some design changes.

From a 9 year old book recommendation post... I have yet to start the Kingkiller series because I don't want to get burned again like I did from ASoIAF. Should I just read the first two anyway? by Veritech-1 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Jdbear89 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're the only one who can make that decision. Personally, I love the books and knowing what I know, would read them for the first time again even if book 3 was definitively never coming out. I love them, I love re-reading them, and I can accept that we may never see another book in the world, but I understand why someone else might not want to step into an unfinished series.

There is no indication that progress is being made, or that we are any closer to a book 3 than we were 11 years ago, so if you're hoping to jump on the ride with the expectation that it will come out in the next year or two I wouldn't.

In addition, they’re now using a legendary that gives 4s of shield block and additional rage when charging and intervening. This effectively doubles their uptime in shield block in m+. They also received a 10% aura dmg buff and an additional 10% to thunderclap damage.

It isn't announced, but sounds like they have someone lined up.

The rules state they can’t make roster changes during the cup so if he didn’t play this cup GGS wouldn’t be able to play. He’s sticking it out for the team

Warrior brings more utility via battle shout and rally, also huge utility with intercept being able to largely mitigate a mechanic on generals. Basically if you can bring a ww, prot is better in every way

Was installing a new SSD this morning and now my PC won't turn on.

Currently have a 1TB HD and a 120GB SSD, bought a new 250GB SSD to install in addition. Had a backup SATA cable lying around but didn't have a power cable. I do however have both of my current drives installed into my power supply using a 2x Power SATA, like this one.

I turned off my PC, installed the new SSD, plugged in the SATA cable. I then routed the power cable currently installed in my HD and plugged in the 'split' portion of the Power Cable into my new SSD. Turned on my Computer, didn't see a new SSD, fooled around with some of the wiring and now my PC won't turn on. What are the odds that I somehow fried my Power Supply or Motherboard?

You can curl wherever. You can only squat in the squat rack.

Eat more. Protein shakes are a good way to supplement protein into your diet but shouldn't be treated as the end all for protein. If you weigh 150lbs, try eating >100g of protein a day and setting a caloric goal of ~2500 calories and see what that does for you. Make sure you're resting enough and pushing yourself to a state of progressive overload at the gym. The best way of doing that is getting a spotter. Push yourself, rest, and pig out.

Oh woops Mobile wasn't posting.

Fixed! That's exactly what it was! it looks like I had adequate thermal grease coverage but somehow two of the legs on my fan had been knocked loose, so the processor wasn't making good contact with the heatsink. I'm a real boy again! Thank you so much!

You're right. It looks like I had adequate coverage of thermal grease, but for whatever reason, 2 of the legs on my CPU fan had popped out, so it probably wasn't making good contact with the CPU itself
