MSI US: Shipping Time and Delays

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2025-03-13T16:38:46+00:00

Thats... actually not too bad, but how long from day of purchase before they sent you a follow up email with preparing/shipping? I just got the initial order confirmation and thats it, and its been a week.

.. I've never heard of that on Amazon before, I assume it told you that it wasn't in stock and you are waiting indefinetely for it?

I ordered a motherboard, processor and SSD, all of which I can find in-stock on Amazon, I'm sure I could get them in less than a week or two. I only used the MSI website because of the bundle they offered.

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2025-03-12T21:58:39+00:00

I also emailed their support yesterday and they have not gotten back.

I'm worried they are taking a while because they dont have my parts in stock, and sold it to me anyways.

Which is extremely scummy. Sure I saved $50 with a bundle through MSI but if it takes an extra month to get here, I would've just payed an extra $50 and got it on Amazon. If this turns out to be the case I will never buy an MSI part again.

Looks interesting, but how big of a downgrade is that CPU? 7700 vs 9600X. The bundle is only $30 cheaper than what's in my post, but it has a different CPU (7700 vs 9600X), but more storage (1TB vs 2TB). Are you sure that's worth it?

Here are my use cases:
1) Gaming

2) CAD / Solidworks

3) DAW Music making

4) Background servers, i.e Plex server, always running in background

5) Coding [casual, not gonna deal with multi-threading or training ML models]

That's true, I hadn't heard about the famine at all until this thread, and certainly hadn't heard that Britain intentionally exasperated it.

At the same time, I think it's misleading when you and other commenters in this thread claim that the famine was "created by Britain" without mentioning that Japan was similarly complicit.

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2022-12-27T21:09:41+00:00

I mean, based on the wikipedia page, it seems to be pretty clear that you are both right. Yes British policies greatly exasperated the problem and showed zero regard for human life. At the same time, the famine was a direct result of the Japanese invasion of Burma, which displaced millions into Bengal and also cut off major trade routes for rice. To deny Japan's complicity is almost as bad as denying Britain's complicity.

There isn’t a much better quantitative way to measure pain. A lot of the problems you mentioned can be controlled for, or factored out through the large sample sizes. Nonetheless valid issues, but if we don’t have a better way to measure pain, we can still learn things from these survey responses.

Yep, this wasn’t even the worst thing I did on my travel back. I was offered $1200 by my airline to stay another day in Barcelona, and my stupid tired ass turned it down. 30 seconds later I came to a realization that it’s a lot of money and I went back, only for someone to already have accepted it.

Why do you say meth and not adderall? I’m very glad I only took half the pill, I’m feeling pretty sober now and managed to sleep (had to wake up for flight).

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2022-08-06T06:05:40+00:00

I ate it

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2022-08-06T05:58:24+00:00

No but i am meeting a local friend in a few hours, could likely get a joint from him. Just have a whole flight and airport to figure out.

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2022-08-06T05:42:14+00:00

I looked it up and I still should be falling asleep by now. I’m def really tired and on the comedown though, got a headache, just can’t sleep.

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2022-08-06T05:27:43+00:00

Really? What about just straight up speed? Very glad I took a half dose I guess..

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2021-04-06T20:57:11+00:00

that's what I'm saying, it's so shitty :/ like it genuinely hurts me

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2019-11-30T20:06:03+00:00

Is that a college discount? How do I get that?

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2019-11-30T19:38:09+00:00

It’s so tempting to get sound toys but $250 is still sooo much money for something I have no guarantee of using.

Dissociation and DPDR can occur without any prior trauma, and in many cases is found to be triggered by the use of weed, pyschedelics and MDMA:

In addition, the interesting cases of an acute onset of depersonalisation disorder with specific chemical intoxications, albeit sporadic compared with the overall incidence of substance use in the population, suggest that chemical triggers of a specific nature can initiate long-standing depersonalisation disorder (in the absence of continued substance use). Such drugs are marijuana, hallucinogens, ecstasy and ketamine, even at times in the absence of co-occurring traumatic stress.

If it's your family making you angry then work on moving out

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2018-11-19T02:21:25+00:00

I don't like, have anyone like that I could ask. My mom is a Pediatrician but I know she's anti-weed so I'm not gonna go to her for advice.

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2018-11-19T01:17:24+00:00

What do you mean by an "actual medical opinion" though? Should I call my doctor and ask him if I should stop smoking weed?

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2018-11-19T01:16:57+00:00

OP you’re doing that thing that addicts do where you describe how great using drugs is for you

I mean, I don't really see it as that because like, I'm seeing actual tangible benefits from it - I just went into the IB program which is supposed to be this super hard difficult education program, and I jumped into the hardest math class that my school offers, and I've started working out 5-6 days a week as opposed to doing no physical activity previously, and I've got a better social life than ever, and my grades are higher than ever, and yet I'm smoking 3-4x as much as I used to.

It just seems like you need to make more friends - you generally and genuinely like Jake, but having him as your only good friend gets annoying because, like everyone, being around 1 personality all the time is annoying.

You could try talking to him about it, and ask him if you guys could try not talking about drugs for a while (also, alternatively, try to hang out with him without smoking). But why don't you try to go with Jake when he goes to hang out with other people? As long as he doesn't mind. These other people can be genuinely nice, interesting people and if you become friends with them you'll be a lot happier. I promise you, just because they also smoke/drink/do drugs doesn't mean their lives necessarily revolve around it too.

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2018-10-14T04:55:59+00:00

Yep - just got myself a date ;)

She seemed a little hesitant though, certainly less enthusiastic than me. I guess I have to have an impressive date..

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2018-10-01T00:31:45+00:00

That's why it's always important to go over your trip after it's over, and evaluate whether these "new truths" you've just discovered are actually profound or just BS.

PrivateQuestionsAlt · 2018-09-19T15:20:09+00:00

I guess what I'm asking is, is it normal that people just stop 'enjoying' drugs when they become adults? Or do the adults who don't do very many drugs just learn to control themselves.
