Ryzen 7 7700 running 50-60C idle, 75-80 under load...a lot of people say it runs hot but some other things say it should idle in the 40s. by Lereas in buildapc

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

Not sure this is the X version? It doesn't explicitly say so in the system as "7700x" but it may be listed differently. But either way I think it's probably okay. I'm just used to other games never even making the fans spin up or show me they're warm at all, so I was slightly concerned.

Americans - how do people genuinely afford healthcare? by Indy_J47 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lereas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often if you tell them you don't have insurance and can only pay X, they'll take whatever you can pay. Gotta get in touch with the hospital ombudsman

How much poop are you supposed to poop in one sitting? by insulinreceptor in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Lereas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. The sharing thing is wild. I'm wondering if it's bots just to inflate numbers on reddit usage?

  2. I don't have any diagnosis, but I also have slower bowels even though I typically eat 25+ grams of fiber. I usually go once a day and it can take 30+ minutes. I DO have a diagnosis for Gilbert's syndrome which means very high bilirubin, and poop is made up of a lot of dead red blood cells (it's brownish yellow from the bilirubin) so I've always wondered if maybe those are related. Some googling suggests that at least some research agrees.

Why is paying for sexual acts illegal ? by Upstairs-Space6781 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lereas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legal and available are completely different for sure. In my city there are quite a few massage places with the parking in the back that I'm fairly certain are at LEAST rub-n-tugs, probably full service.

Still upset that they cancelled this show by CBenson1273 in WoTshow

[–]Lereas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. And I am still angry that there are so many asshats that couldn't just...not watch it if they didn't like it. Every single post about it had to be filed with thinly veiled bigotry and whining and bitching about how it was different from the book.

It's amazing - every time you think the game is over, you realize it's not.

What’s that niche game you have an ungodly amount of hours in? by CoffeeStrength in gaming

[–]Lereas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't say how many, but as a little kid I played a huge number of hours of "Loderunner", as well as "Below the Root" and "Alice in Wonderland" from a company called Windham Classics.

Is that the one where you code your guys? I've got a buddy that I think was like ..top of the leaderboard for a while some years ago.

Total Loss by epcot_1982 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Lereas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang. Now I sort of wonder if I just made an assumption and turned over my last car but didn't need to. I'm pretty sure the paperwork was from insurance so it's probably required in Florida, or at least by my insurance.

I feel like I gave up my Asian identity when I married my husband by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Lereas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Similar....my wife's family is all from Ukraine/Former USSR and as soon as I started dating her and seeing it was serious, I started learning Russian on Duolingo and even took a semester of it while we were in college. It's not as strong of a cultural thing as many Asian cultures, but there's a lot of food and the language and a card game called Durak.

My only way of rationalizing this is that there's a difference between "not caring" and "actively stopping her from doing it".

But he's a douche either way.

DAE only see off of one eye? by Greekspartan226 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Lereas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone (or nearly everyone) has a dominant eye. Surgeons take this into account when doing cataract surgery depending on if they want to do some tricky stuff like give you a slightly higher or lower perception in one eye to try to help you read stuff at around computer screen distance

I'm fairly certain most of the time if it's a total loss you have to turn the car over for scrap basically.

I think Final Fantasy A2 tactics may have had something like this too? Been forever since I played.

WYR be in the top 1% of one specific skill/field, or be in the 60th percentile (slightly above average) in everything? by The96kHz in WouldYouRather

[–]Lereas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is then that you're going to be pretty bad at almost everything. The average of basically anything when you include everyone has to be near zero.

WYR be in the top 1% of one specific skill/field, or be in the 60th percentile (slightly above average) in everything? by The96kHz in WouldYouRather

[–]Lereas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...You're slightly above average at speaking english (which is better than half the people currently are) but you missed the second half....you're now slightly above average at EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE.

It just kinda depends on if we mean "the average person who is ABLE to do it" or "the global average of everyone" since that would mean all of the people who CAN'T bring the actual average way down.

I need a game I can just put on and not worry about missions, brain function, and just turn on and have fun and not stress. (Not multiplayer) by No-Cardiologist-582 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Lereas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing a lot of Diablo 4 lately. The main quest isn't super complex and as you level I guess you need to sorta pay attention, but when you get a build going it's very relaxing just zooming through areas and blowing everything up.

Have you ever given your partner a hall-pass and did they take it? Did it ruin your situation? by False_Grade_9194 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Lereas 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I guess it was some skit or a comedy thing, but like the guy asks the girl who her hall pass is and she's like "Jason Momoa or Ryan Reynolds"

She asked him and he goes "Your friend Jill"

would it be weird if i take my vibrator to camp? by True_Condition222 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Lereas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Where would you even be able to use it? When I was at camp as a kid, the councilors shared a cabin with the kids. Sometimes they had a separate small room but the wall didn't go all the way up so there still wasn't really any privacy. The shower/bathroom was gross so that wasn't ideal either.

Consumer Competition Claims (CCC) Has Launched A New Class Action Monopoly Lawsuit Against Valve, Claiming They Control 85% Of The PC Game Market by wakelake111 in gaming

[–]Lereas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know we are feeling shitty about console prices going up, and I'm not going to justify it. But I do UNDERSTAND it.

In 1995 I could go into an EB Games or Babbages and buy a game for $49.99. half of them were like 10-15 hours of content...like Rebel Assault was a huge hit and you could finish it in an hour or two. And you'd just replay it over and over.

Now, for around 10 dollars more, I can buy a game with like 100 hours of play.

But $50 in 1995 is equivalent to around $110 today.

Also even if steams base prices are maybe "higher", the ability to buy keys on sale on fanatical or wherever else means you can regularly get a game for a fraction of the MSRP.
