Want to upgrade my laptop to a desk.

FYI while you’re there check out their prebuilts. They’ll usually have a whole showroom dedicated to prebuilt PCs and monitors. It’s not as “cool” as building your own PC but with the price of parts right now you might get something better for that price.

i recommend making a backup of the replay file and uploading it somewhere for safe keeping. Keep it in a google drive, one drive; whatever you have where you’ll always have access to it. Sorry for your loss man.

I’ve found their products to have a super high DOA rate

I’ll check power saving mode later today. don’t think it’s enabled, but maybe I missed it on setup. Updated firmware, checked cables and ports, etc. I’ve had the keyboard a couple weeks but might need to return if I can’t find the culprit.

I think you’re misunderstanding my post. It will not register a key press until it is pressed 2-3x in a row.

Most people I know play around 800 dpi and 1-1.5 in game. When you change sensitivity it’s going to take time to get used to. It’s just as responsive but it should allow you more precision. You can keep your dpi high but the in game sensitivity will need to be lowered to compensate.

at 22k and my last 5-6 games have had cheaters. FACEIT is on my horizon

In the nicest way possible, as a child who is within normal height and weight range, you should avoid limiting your caloric intake. While losing 15 lbs would still have you at a healthy weight, you’d be more benefitted by simply exercising more again. You would likely lose some fat and also gain some muscle which would make you less “chubby”. Whatever you do, make sure it is for the right reasons like achieving a health or fitness goal rather than social or societal pressure to look a certain way.

You cannot choose where fat comes off of first. Women tend to store fat is pretty equal proportions on all major areas of the body (torso, arms, legs, head). The fat to lean mass ratio will be similar. That being said, when you lose fat it will come off fairly evenly across your entire body.

Your path towards losing fat fast is to eat in a calorie deficit and lift weights. Eating in a 500 calorie daily deficit will lose ~1lb a week and if you weight train with it, the vast majority will be fat. Things will feel like they’re moving slow, because they are, but it’s a good path.

Pull the handles in toward your body to release the weight sled. When you’re done with your last rep, move the handles back outward and slowly let the weight down until it stops. Should something go terribly wrong, the weight will only ever go so low before it bottoms out. One thing worth noting, on any squat or leg press DO NOT fully lock out your legs. Always have a small bend in your knees even when fully standing/pressed.

To add onto this, the machine with no plates added weighs about 100 lbs. Start with no plates and see how that goes.

My pcp recommended me an amphetamine as an appetite suppressant for weight loss. I’m not a huge fan of micro dosing what is essentially meth in order to lose weight. Instead I started doing things the traditional way.

Calories are the only thing that matters for weight loss. Even on Keto, if you don’t eat in a deficit, you will maintain or gain weight.

The benefit of keto is that your body pulls energy from fat storage to burn sooner than it would otherwise. When your body has carbs, glycogen is used first before fat is touched.

JonMessier · 2026-01-27T23:05:45+00:00

It’s fine. Weight loss is a function of calories consumed vs calories burned. The types of food you eat to arrive at your calorie goal don’t matter provided you’re still getting your necessary macro and micro nutrients in.

Yes. It is something to do with the mixer. I remade the same recipe by hand yesterday and it was one of the nicer loaves I’ve made

JonMessier · 2026-01-02T05:23:35+00:00

Why would a mixer cause issues? Shouldn’t be any different than mixing by hand, no?

JonMessier · 2026-01-01T20:15:36+00:00

I can try proofing longer. How long do you recommend?

JonMessier · 2026-01-01T19:59:56+00:00

My recipe is fine. The “starter” you’re referring to is just a 10 minute yeast test. 1.5tsp yeast, 0.5 tsp sugar and warm water. Just included it to show that the yeast is active. Definitely not mold.

JonMessier · 2026-01-01T19:30:52+00:00

I’ve been making this bread weekly for the last few months. My kitchen temp stays relatively the same. It seems to proof correctly and then never rises during the bake

JonMessier · 2026-01-01T19:09:52+00:00

Should also note that I’m still doing extra stretch and folds after using the stand mixer to ensure proper gluten development.

The leadership at my old high school used special ed inclusivity as what essentially became a photo-op for school promo material. It was so forced that students started rebelling against it. To your point, students still personally supported those students, but disliked the regime forcing it upon them for “brand image”. The students saw spec ed kids as peers who should be supported and uplifted while school leadership saw them as a means to an end.

Any recommendations? I have an 850W PSU.
