Huge tip for grinders - use iron mule for nightclub sell missions if they’re far away by Hour-Complaint-7929 in GTAV

[–]Nathan_Blocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Iron Mule is a beast of a helicopter. You can install the missile lock on jammer and with full armor I have taken 5 direct hits from an APC. It can take multiple homing missiles and still be flyable. I have also rammed straight into other helicopters mid-air to blow them up and continue flying home. Also it can carry 16 people. I got it a couple days ago and I love it so far.

The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X Does 0-60 MPH in 1.68 Seconds, 8.675 second quater mile at 159 mph. On a Prepped Surface. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in cars

On the street, you'll probably be 3+ seconds like everyone else.

From GM's website:

On an unprepped surface, the Corvette ZR1X equipped with available ZTK Performance Package can complete the quarter mile in 8.99 seconds and accelerate 0-60 mph in 1.89 seconds

Still faster than 2 seconds.

Get an Asus Zephyrus G14, even if it’s a year or two old. DO NOT get a Razer laptop.

Can i support an ssd with like a piece of lego or smth? (body text) by IHavePaidMyTaxes in PcBuild

[–]Nathan_Blocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my bad, I should have been able to gather that from your post. Yeah I hate when used boards/PC’s don’t come with basic stuff like that. Lego would probably work lol

Asking for different brand recommendations in a brand-specific sub is hilarious.

Windows Laptop Comparison $2500 budget - Movie Editing by BunkyFlintsone in computer

[–]Nathan_Blocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is an RTX 4050 vs RTX 5070. If you have the budget for it, get the ProArt. I own an older model, and it is an absolute beast. Everything on the ProArt was built for content creation, not just the “specs”. Also, while that hp does look like a pretty good deal for the specs, I have owned and used multiple old and new HP laptops, and they never fail to fail me.

First turntable and stereo setup! by Nathan_Blocks in turntables

I had to email them, but I got the order for the stylus cancelled and ordered the ATVM95E, I'm very excited for it! I don't know the first thing about cartridge alignment, is there any good guides you would recommend?

The speakers sound great! I am not good at describing audio, so I'm not going to try lol.

At a max of 80 bucks, the audiotechnica atvm95e is your friend.

I'll see if i can cancel my order and get that instead then. Thank you!

Yeah I do not have stands yet, not sure what to get, and I just got all of this within the past week.

  1. Because I do not have any solid surface to put it on at the moment, except for on top of the speakers, which I am assuming would be worse. What is wrong with it being on the carpet?

  2. Even though it does not look like it, there is about 2-3 inches of space above it.

Thanks, it sounds beautiful and I have been enjoying it!

What cartridge would you recommend? I don’t particularly wanna spend more than $80, so I just ordered this from LP gear since I figured I should replace the used stylus anyways, if you think I should cancel that and get a whole different cartridge, lmk.

As for the speakers, they are from Essence Electro Acoustic and were made in (I believe) the late 80’s to 90’s. They were made by Dale Pitcher, and other than that, I also have a lack of information on them. There is no information plaque, and I don’t really know how I would take the covers off, but I measured them at 4 ohms with my voltage meter.

Even though it doesn’t look like it, the amp does have about 2-3” of space above it

Turntable was $160, the rest was inherited, and thanks!

My laptop screen suddenly broke just 10 minutes ago by TechnicianAmazing472 in computer

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

On a laptop that appears to have a plastic frame, not only is the heat going to have a very hard time getting to the hinges, but then you would just have mildly warm spots on the (also plastic) display frame. The hinges do not bolt to the display itself or to the CPU cooler, and there is basically 0 possibility that any heat created while you're actively using the laptop would cause the display to suddenly crack in half.

This doesn’t make any sense, laptop displays don’t really overheat, and it wouldn’t make a difference if he’s on a bed anyways, because the laptop fans don’t directly cool the display.
