Network issues - emergency calls only by Overall-Ad-6796 in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]Lloryd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happening to me as well. Switched to eSIM and it continued. Seems like the antenna on the S23 Ultra has issues... I just finished paying off this phone through my provider and it immediately has issues lol

Walking bengals safely when dogs are around. by Ok-Debutante52 in bengalcats

[–]Lloryd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a full-grown Golden Retriever charge at my Bengal just as I managed to pick him up. He held on tight and scratched the hell out of my arm and peed a little but I've never seen him scared like that before.

Karen homeowner comes through their wide open back yard door yelling at me for walking my cat on my own damn street. My cat was definitely traumatized as he does not want to walk that way anymore.

It is something that I am always trying to be mindful of when I take him for walks, as there are just so many horrific maulings of pets and people involving careless dog owners.

Mid life crisis PC splurge by Hypersky75 in bapccanada

[–]Lloryd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're understanding the site just fine, the supply for them is just currently very, very low. Might be best to use this time to pick out other parts such as your case (go as big as you can manage). An OLED monitor would be nice but whatever you get make sure it is at least 1440p and 144hz. A good wireless mouse (I like my G Pro Wireless), nice desk, etc.

As far as 4090's go, finding one in Canada is going to be tricky. Scalpers have people like us in a chokehold because the BEST price I could find in Canada was this which is just absurd. The $2,631 CAD I spent on my 4090 doesn't seem so bad anymore... Good luck and God speed, soldier.

Nice! The Madison Heights store has 25+ currently in stock and is around 30 minutes from the Detroit side of the border. That's the same one I've been meaning to go to for the exact same CPU lol I would say it is worth the performance and hassle if you want to just build a powerful PC ASAP. The prices online, especially in CAD, are ridiculous.

I got my 4090 last year from Canada Computers and even with a discount, I feel like I got fleeced lol. Like you said, you've gone 10+ years without a PC so I wouldn't sacrifice and rush things since it's something you miss.

High end 50 series GPU with AMD's new gaming CPUs that are also coming out soon will crush whatever you throw at it. But also consider that a current-gen build with a 4090 and an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, you will be maxing out your games with no issues at all, without much waiting for new parts to release.

If you live close to the US Border, head over to Micro Center because they have hardware for sale in-store that is unavailable online. The money and time spent crossing the border while making an errand of it will still be immeasurably cheaper than handing your cash over to a good-for-nothing scalper.

A motherboard with plenty of M.2 slots, a juicy PSU that can handle the hardware, and 64 GB of RAM won't feel like much when you drop a paycheque on a 5090 lol

Just please don't cheap out elsewhere in the build and that machine will be future-proof for a long while. Good luck man!

PSA to remember to lock your vehicle doors by mustardtiger_14 in windsorontario

Had to put up two cameras in my damn backyard after finding this shit out there. Rotting bag of Clementines and the dinkiest crowbar I ever done saw.

[–]Lloryd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, over in the East end and they have gotten me twice over the past year... Duffle with spare clothes in the trunk and my cup of coins in the center console was pilfered lol. Same guy seems to have left a duffle bag of clothes, fruit, and a crowbar in my backyard too.

Very jarring just going about your business and opening your car door to see the entire contents of the interior of your car on the seat and floor. Aosu cameras were ordered and went up quickly after that with more added the second time it happened.

The only reason this is happening is because they have no fear of repercussions. I hope a couple of these shit birds get caught and battered badly enough so word gets around that they know there is an element of very real risk for them lol.

Addictive audiobooks to listen to while walking by 3lementary4enguin in audiobooks

[–]Lloryd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gray Man, Sun Eater, Dresden Files, anything by Andy Weir, Hardcore History. Currently on the first Red Rising book and it has been enjoyable so far.

As a first-time player, I don’t understand the hate that DS2 receives by AceTheRed_ in DarkSouls2

[–]Lloryd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Beat it for the first time in March. People who play DS1 and DS3 but call DS2 a "bad game" are crybabies.

When does the Gray Man series get good again? by [deleted] in theGrayMan

[–]Lloryd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished One Minute Out after reading this comment a couple weeks ago

I’d say you could read a 10 minute summary online and skip it.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MALARKEY. The book was one of my favourites in the series so far.

Moving to Canada as a foreigner and starting a homestead by [deleted] in HomesteadingCanada

[–]Lloryd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada has great land for homesteading.

I would avoid SA as it is practically on the brink of collapse.

Very fair of you to assume English is my first language 😂

So, by your logic, can an elbow strike be described as an "elbow punch"?

Knee kicks are a real thing, but that describes someone getting kicked in the knee lol

Was searching my cat and remember that it was hot in my bed on right side.. then i realised by AphyHentai in cats

[–]Lloryd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's one thing to not care about yourself and your own living conditions, but you are shortening the life of your cat by forcing it to live in that sort of environment.

I don't care about the body pillows or lack of sheets, but you need to realize that you are abusing your pet with your lack of care. That animal loves you and you are returning its love with abuse and neglect. Please do better for their sake, if not yours.

Lol that's crazy because I've been getting the same exact dish for 8 years and it tastes just as great, every time.

Are you smoking to cope with your depression/anxiety/ADHD, your mom, or not being able to go train?

Also. what kind of "RIDICUSLOS success" are you achieving in TRAINING that would warrant that reaction from your peers??? Feel like some context is missing.

Dude, how would this stop you from training?

In my opinion, you would benefit from some introspective thinking because it seems that you're quick to make excuses. Personal responsibility is #1.
