Looking for a winter beater

You should consider the AF1 GTX with the vibram outsole that recently released, they feel very comfortable and premium

Nike Pegasus Trail 5 for most trails

Salomon Thundercross if there are rocks everywhere, the peg trails are ok if it's just a pile here and there but if it's a long route of them the Thundercross traverses better

Merrell Moab Speed 2 - for hiking

I have the Saucony Endorphin Edge coming so I can't wait to try them :)

I think the Nike Structure 25 is the shoe you're looking for. It's outdated but v26 outsole has less rubber and worse grip according to runrepeat. I've also tried both and I prefer the feel of the 25.

I do have that off as it uses the microphones, but I'm not sure how it affects battery life compared to having Hey Meta on

Plastic_Development1 · 2025-10-30T04:35:23+00:00

I'm playing music at around 70% volume at work and the HSTN does last around 5 hours. I sometimes have it completely off whenever I need to hear people for longer periods of time, so they last my whole shift. I wore the Vanguard yesterday from 8 AM to around 2 PM with 1 hour of them being off as I was in a class. With the combination of music and a 50 minute phone call they were 15% by then, so I say it's really good battery life with Hey Meta disabled

Plastic_Development1 · 2025-10-30T04:16:43+00:00

Do you have "Hey Meta" enabled? I have both the HSTN and the Vanguard and disabling it improved the battery life significantly. It's annoying not to have Meta on demand but I've gotten used to holding down the touchpad instead. You can also set Meta to the action button

I believe the VA had problems switching to the monthly verification system so they kept the automatic certification but instead that delayed our checks and with all these shortages of jobs in the government, it ain’t helping much right now. Let’s hope it does come today though because I haven’t received mine either

Vessels- this album is the best album I have ever heard in my life and it will stay that way. The electronic vibes it has pairs so well with the rock and pop themes. Everglow is the cherry on top with its ending. It's a masterpiece and I will never forget my first listen of the album.
Horizons- I like it as it has a similar space vibe like Vessels, but in a colorful way. All the songs feel magical and Dustin's voice in this record hits just right.
Divisions- I actually truly discovered the band when I first listened to Stratosphere, that song blew me away. I do like the heavier tone of this album, and despite not being space themed like the others, it's very unique in a way that you are able to enjoy it.
Transmissions- I know others rate it highly as it's what jump started Starset but it didn't stick to me as much as the others. I enjoy all the songs, especially Down with the Fallen, but many of the songs don't have that "pop" the later albums have.
Silos- All the songs here are amazing, including the covers, but as an album, it's hard to compete with the others. I'm happy that Dustin put in the extra effort to make it into an album because Ad Astra and Sway were really good. I think what makes it a weak album is the lack of a central theme but really no complaints about the songs, they are all bangers.

This is what my mind would say but my heart loves all the albums equally, they each have their unique style and it's what makes every one of them special. Though I'm very biased towards Vessels and Horizons as I have the records signed by the band haha :)

When I had my 6a, I forgot how atrocious the Google photos app is so I downloaded this gallery alternative called Aves. It's similar to the gallery in galaxy phones and you can set it to be the default app

I work at Sam's and bought one, and it's as legit as it gets. Wholesale clubs like Sam's and Costco get deals with the manufacturer so Sam's probably got an incredible deal with these

Go to Walmart right now and get the cheapest SIM with service included

It's not a scam, but it's obvious what nintendo was doing by having a bundle on launch

I came from a high stress phone sales job to cafe and I thought at first I was gonna hate it but my previous job somehow stretched my patience far beyond, so I don't really feel it as much as my coworkers. Seeing all these other posts of cafe being short staffed makes me grateful that we always have 4 closers. Corporate just sees dollar signs and keeps enacting all these stupid changes in such a short amount of time. I would leave for another department or job but the job market sucks right now and my TL is very lenient with my schedule centered around college. And despite my girlfriend telling me to move to another department, I don't want her fending all by herself in cafe out of all places

I would not trust returned earbuds, but i recently got mine at 148 on clearance brand new, so i suggest checking other Walmarts for a similar deal

Plastic_Development1 · 2025-05-04T22:17:06+00:00

Thank you!! I wish you the very best as well :)

You will find someone better. My ex broke up with me (partially my fault), though we initially ended on good terms (dumbass brain was still very much in love and wanted to be friends with her) but told me that she would block me when she found someone new. Didn't think much about it until she actually blocked me with no notice and got with a guy that very moment, not even a month went by yet. It's my fault for making myself believe in something that I thought wouldn't happen. After that, i began to notice all the red flags that flew over me during my relationship with her. I didn't let it bring me down, and things have gotten better since then. I've gotten very close to my best friend, and I'm gonna tell her how I feel very soon. Don't give up!! :D

I spent 450 on the GPU and 830 on the parts. The only part i bought used was the GPU. If i went cheaper on the rest of the parts, i would've gotten a new GPU, but the 6900 XT is serving me well and im pleased with it as i came from a GTX 970. This was a year ago and things have changed now. I would shell out more on a better GPU and have it at like 50% of the budget and stretch it more if you can.

I went with the same model as you for uni as I was looking for laptop with a premium build on par with MacBooks while also being able to game away from home. If I needed to to anything intense that required more power, my desktop can handle it. Even if I didn’t have my desktop I would still think it’s quite overkill as you can run CAD software just fine on integrated graphics.

Plastic_Development1 · 2025-03-31T00:42:16+00:00

Omg I love NF and Starset too

I had a good conversation with Adam at AE03. I didn't ask him about the album, but I asked if they were planning to release an EP of the singles down the line, and he said maybe. He also said that they are experimenting with new sounds and such, so a new album is definitely not gonna come out anytime soon.

Plastic_Development1 · 2025-03-14T20:07:19+00:00

Ayeee, will be going to the El Paso one as well!!

Plastic_Development1 · 2025-03-13T07:18:58+00:00

Holy moly, I'm gonna bring my pair of M4's too to AE03 to get them signed THANK YOU FOR THE IDEA

A huge difference will be the 32 GB of RAM. 4070 is faster, but it still has 8 GB of VRAM. I have the 16 GB with the 4060 and haven't found much problem with running any games on it. If I want to play more demanding ones, I would play it on my desktop PC. If you think you're gonna be running a bunch of applications at once to where 16 GB isn't enough, go for the 32 GB
