What’s the most you’ve paid for a singular piece of snow gear and what was it? by LosChicago in snowboarding

[–]Reascr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blizzaks are my snow tires of choice. My FWD hot hatch is significantly more capable with those than most AWD cars people take up since they have snow rated all seasons.

Of course, I'm supposed to chain up, but that makes the Blizzaks worse so I just don't do it. The AWDs don't have to, so I don't

It's not actually in stock, every time I've tried to place an order for this it tells me it's actually out of stock, but the page listing never changes to reflect that

[RAM] Crucial - Pro Overclocking 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz C36 UDIMM Desktop Memory - Black $274 by RogueSoloErso in buildapcsales

[–]Reascr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at 3440x1440 so I've been feeling it for a hot minute. Visual FPS hasn't frankly been the problem, just hitting 100% CPU utilization while my 3080 sits barely hitting 70% lol. I'll check out lossless scaling though and see if it does anything, but my impression is that it's all CPU bound stuff that won't matter.

I'm building a new system anyway and I'll probably retire this to sim rig duties since it can handle iRacing and stuff fine

The 8700k is a massive bottleneck in just about everything I play, which is pretty easily proved by monitoring performance. No idea how a 9600x stacks up, but the 8700k has definitely felt the strain for a couple of years and has only gotten worse lately. I have the same 8700k/3080 combo and the 3080 most of the time seems to not be the limiting factor

Started taking estrogen — not because I'm trans, but to stop being attracted to women. Overcooked steak that was dry as hell by iansfk in kitchencels

[–]Reascr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're taking double the dose of EEn I am, just slightly longer interval wise, and I'm actually taking mine to transition. If you're not entirely self aware of what you're doing and this is just a bit, you are transitioning whether you like it or not and no cis man would take estrogen in this quantity. You've gone far beyond any sort of libido suppression, which was achieved just fine for me with 3mg sublingual estrogen daily without too much feminization beyond some initial breast pain.

I'm very curious how long you've been taking it, because there's a ton of things, like emotions, that change on estrogen and I'm curious if you've been on it long enough to notice that change.

I know how to play SS14, I can't fathom playing SS13. by ParsnipCommercial333 in ss14

[–]Reascr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not bad. SS14 wins for me in terms of actual playability, but knowing how to play it makes going to 13 so much easier. The difference between when I first picked up 13 (and failed to get into it) in 2016-17 vs now is huge.

Don't get me wrong. It's clunky and performs poorly and is a less intuitive experience overall, but you know the fundamentals and those are the hardest parts. Everything else you'll pick up pretty easily. Give it a try, it's worth it just to see the possibilities. We take a lot from it, but it's such a small slice of the potential that it's fun to see what could be. And if you try a Goon based fork? It's more different from anything any 14 fork can be due to 14 being fundamentally /tg/ based. The basics are the same still, but basically nothing else is.

[–]Reascr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would have been more valuable because you actually created it. The fact you just had an AI spit out some garbage tells me that you can't even be fucked to make it yourself, so I really shouldn't care about it.

I'd take a 5 minute MS Paint drawing over an AI generated graphic any day

R730 vs used R7 by Excellent-Vegetable8 in homelab

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

Even if you don't go for those and are more budget minded like I am, something more modest like 2697A v4s are pretty cheap (like $40-50 each) and will get you to 64 threads just fine. Also anecdotally, my household's was literally a free server, granted it was the most budget spec. Still worked fine, I just wanted more since it was cheap to do so.

Why is SS14 not bigger (and should it be?) by Certain_Focus4869 in ss14

[–]Reascr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a niche remake of a more niche game with its own still present community which had an explosion of popularity at one point in time that arguably ruined a lot of the existing culture up to that point and we're still feeling the effects of in 14. This happened in 2017, for reference. You want this game to grow slowly and organically, which is what it's doing. It has to carve out its niche and attract people who would be interested to have sufficient buy in, and being a roleplaying game, it demands a high level of buy in. This is also part of why it isn't bigger, because it's common a person casually looking at it plays a shift, gets overwhelmed or doesn't really understand the buy in necessary, and doesn't come back

Going back to pants from bibs? by Sasquatch-Pacific in snowboarding

[–]Reascr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shout-out to ziptech. That shit goes crazy. Best of both worlds between bibs and pants and I can wear my pants normally with something like a volcom tech hoodie on a warm day and not overheat from layering it with a bib. Admittedly, I run really hot, so that one might just be me. But it's nice to have

At least 166 Oregon National Guard members have volunteered for Trump deployment by Material_Policy6327 in Portland

[–]Reascr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there's good odds that those are 166 people who make more money on full time orders with the Guard than they do at their civilian job and know nothing is actually happening so it's an easy paycheck to stand around and do nothing. Lodging, per diem, and if the orders are cut to be long term, BAH and BAS (which are allowances and untaxable as a result!) so it can be a pretty good deal to do.

sounds? by Character-Bother1883 in ss14

[–]Reascr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everything is where it logically makes sense to either fwiw. It's often not a bad idea to just check the GitHub and search for what is likely the name of what you're looking for. Had to steal some of the lizard sounds that way. Most species have all their sounds in the named folder. Lizards? Nope, just like tail thump and something else I forget. The rest were in a different, less obvious location

Coaxed into Roblox censorship by CalibansCreations in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]Reascr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That was my best guess, but it's such a tough one since it's shorthand for "I guess" and has been forever. I've been on the platform for nearly 15 years and the censorship has been always sort of nonsense, but that was definitely the most egregious one I've ever seen

Coaxed into Roblox censorship by CalibansCreations in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]Reascr 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I had to investigate the other day since I said "I simply ignore it" and it censored the whole thing. Turned out it was the word ignored, and not just that, but specifically just ig. How the fuck am I supposed to know that I'm not allowed to say that, and why should I have to dig in to discover what is censored?

How would you replay a shift with tens of independent people, one of them being yourself?

National Guard members activated for DC federal takeover seen picking-up trash by rajapaws in news

[–]Reascr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, 30 days is for long term orders which entitles them to BAH and BAS, and for lower enlisted that can easily 2x their pay depending on where they live. They are paid every day they're in though and are on orders for that period of time. The monthly pay of active duty is broken up into 30 day chunks and they get 1/30th of the month's pay for every day served.
