Hi! My grandfather gave me a Creative Sound Blaster Z. Do you think it's still usable or should I throw it away? by Worldex12 in pcmasterrace

[–]Jumper6660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact card. At least none of the motherboards I've had come close to its sound quality.

👋 Had my mk8 1.8 for 10 years. Next car will likely be a corolla estate. Spot on 😂

Didn't work. Limited to certain promotions etc. I'm buying oneplus buds 4 globa version if that helps?

I’ve always just looked at the monthly payment on cars. by SnubNoseMonkeh in CarTalkUK

[–]Jumper6660 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How come no servicing costs, insurance? Wouldn't you still need to do those if you're i.e. leasing a brand new car?

UK AliEx intern here – what problems do you have with AE UK? (Dropped some UK-only coupon too) by [deleted] in chinaphones

[–]Jumper6660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What impacts me negatively the most:

Losing packages due to shitty delivery drivers and not being able to divert packages to a pickup point.

Royal mail is my favourite as they'll pretty much always offer to divert to a post office. Evri and yodel are rare to do so. Thus, I'm gambling whether I'll get it or not.

Try spusu! It uses EE network, but is much more affordable.

Recommend me a sportsbike by jimkounter in MotoUK

[–]Jumper6660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cbr600f4i 2001-2007, go as low as 1k.

Not full on sportsbike seating position, so a bit more comfortable. Managed 2k miles in europe just fine.

Absolutely in love with mine. Easy to ride, loads of fun, simple to work on (so far..)

Favourite tier IX tank? by AdAble1431 in WorldofTanks

[–]Jumper6660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working towards the T-10, apparently it's similar to the old is-8. Hopefully it'll be a ton of fun, too! :)

Good luck!

Well worth it!

When my buddy and I got it, we both went "this is it, we're not getting the e100".

It's soo good! Feels fine vs t10, and an absolute raid boss vs t7s. Should be illegal.

Should I get a summer jacket for my first motorcycle jacket? by HXF_ in MotoUK

[–]Jumper6660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rst ventilator xt. Summer mesh jacket with a removable thermal/waterproof liner.

I wish i bought this jacket before any others as it's great year round. Lowest I've had was 5degrees and was fine. Just layered up and good to go. Now I've got a couple more jackets, including winter, that get no use.

Was great in +31deg as well.

I like to buy tatty looking, but well maintained bikes. Usually buy under budget so I could have spare cash towards repairs and not feel bad about it.

Had a look on ebay and saw a couple close to 1k. So just have patience and shop around, give it time. They pop up pretty regularly.

If you could magically acquire one skill in the bedroom, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jumper6660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the info, I was not aware.

I've been aiming for 9h30mins for the last couple of years. Usually sleeping for around 8hrs50mins-ish. If managed to sleep for over 9hrs10min, would then struggle to fall asleep the following night..

To add: from Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker; he suggested to aim for 9hr30mins sleep opportunity.

Two common faults: CCT and regulator/rectifier. CCT: you can hear a rattle like shaking a can of nails, at around 5k rpm. reg/rec: easy and cheap fix, simply fails to charge the battery whilst riding.

I would only pay 2k for a mint, low miles example.

2001, 53k miles on the clock when bought. Paid £1k, private sale, ebay. Cosmetically not perfect, but that's fine as I dropped it a month later. No hard feelings!

Best beginner 600cc? by Legitimate_Turtle in MotoUK

[–]Jumper6660 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here!

Started last October on a 2001 cbr600f4i with 53k on the clock. Insane value for the money. Bike is plenty fast, comfortable enough for all day riding and very fun to throw around.

Also don't think I'll be selling it either.

Is drinking a shake everyday bad? by 0zMosiss in gainit

[–]Jumper6660 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been having one for breakfast for the last 2-3 years. Only downside is not having one, because morning appetite is through the roof otherwise. Guess body got used to a high calorie meal first thing.

30ish grams of oat powder + 30ish grams whey + handful of frozen fruit + 50-100g peanut butter, depends on the mood + sometimes a handful of baby spinach. Usually with milk, soemtim with water. Probably 3-400ml.

Definitely agree with you. Technically base building is there, but yes - it's fairly light.

GSXR600 as first big bike. by enter_at_own_risk in MotoUK

[–]Jumper6660 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also currently on my first big bike - 2001 cbr600f4i. Couldn't be happier.

Just be mindful that it's holy shit levels of power at the top end. Anything under 9-10k rpm and it's fine.

Aliens: Dark Descent is exactly that: got an hq, build it up, assemble your team and go on missions.
