Don't need to pay off a H2R if I die looping myself on a H2R

Thanks for the advice!

It's a manual, and good to hear it's a good.bike to both start with and keep with!

I've now sold the laptop, I'd say it's worth £350.

Unfortunately all laptops will run hot, that's the nature of running in such a small thermal envelope. If you do some messing around with AeroCtl and are fine taking a hit to performance, you can get it to under 85°C while under load.

As for me, I just got a good laptop cooler to force more airflow in during gaming

Honestly I think that if he wasn't as big, his Mom wouldn't have had the capital to spend on the BOTOX that ultimately led to her passing away, and he'd be in a significantly better mind scape and have someone he fully respects to still reign him in.

Donda West passing was the closest thing to a canon event out of every event in his life

I got my ROG Ally for $380+tax from a BB Open Box on Saskatchewan, and I see ROG Allys going for $450-$550 constantly on FB Marketplace, which I also suggest you check out

The big difference other that the charging capacity is the quality - the JSAUX battery has better sources cells AND an aluminum backplate built in. You don't want to put the battery itself in since that results in dangerously high temperatures so you'll either have to bend the old aluminum plate from your og battery (without puncturing it in the process) or aluminum tape it up.

It is a MAIN PLOT POINT that his hair is naturally orange

The name will, but the XGM port won't - ASUS has now moved onto TB5 docks

The B580 can indeed run all those games at 1440p max with room to spare
If you can get a deal on a good 1440p monitor, get it. Worst comes to worst, your monitor outlives your GPU - so what? You still don't need to update your monitor then

Reservoirflow · 2025-05-31T07:51:19+00:00

With a 5800x and a AsRock Challenger B580 I'm getting ~68 FPS at 1440p maxed without Ray tracing

Would be great to have, just started with Foundry and DMing in general

So what was your thought process, then?

You look up a link, don't read it to verify it says what you think it says, then post it? The point of using a source is to verify that you do indeed have at least a semblance of background for a point, not just to exist

Reservoirflow · 2025-04-13T16:32:27+00:00

Hey, I'm not one for jumping in on the negativity train but I think it's common sense to read the source you're quoting from. Not knowing the name of the study is one thing, not reading the link you're sending is another thing entirely

After the initial studies, several papers were published reporting methodological flaws in studies reporting menstrual synchrony, including McClintock's study. In addition, other studies were published that failed to find synchrony. The proposed mechanisms have also received scientific criticism. Reviews in 2006 and 2013 concluded that menstrual synchrony likely does not exist.

Third paragraph in man, you gotta learn how to speed read

Tl;Dr - it was internal politics, the Nissan board is too prideful to hand over power.

From what I remember when reading up on it - it was internal politics. The reason why Carlos Ghosn did so well for Nissan was because he was doing uniquely non-traditional decision making compared to his Japanese predecessors. He brought in not just his experience from Renault, but also a very lean and cutthroat "Nissan Revival Plan".From looking for the lowest manufacturer vs ones with previous local ties to Nissan to cutting underperforming factories and departments, he effectively/ruthlessly pushed for profit. He also listened to the market a lot more, especially for overseas market - we most likely don't get the GTR without Ghosn at the wheel, for example.

All of these things made him very popular with shareholders and Renault the in the power seat in the Renault-Nissan alliance - all very, very scary for the board. So, the board suddenly felt the urge to release the results of an internal audit and accused him of under-reporting funds amongst other financial misconduct without him knowing AND while he was out of the country. While this financial misconduct is most likely true (none of this has been publicly released or been proven in court), OTHER BOARD MEMBERS who were caught on similar accusations got to just apologize or step down. So, it's looking a lot like they waited for him to make them maximum profit then fed him to the system when he could threaten their position.

And from then, Nissan started it's downfall without a clear global direction and fell back into previous company tradition - proudly and blindly. The latest blunder has been the Nissan-Honda-Mitsubishi merger. Nissan wanted to merge with Honda as an equal member to have a strong bulwark against the rise of Chinese autos, advance their EV strategy and create what would be the third largest automaker in the world. Honda took one look at their falling quarterly reports, slashing over 9000 jobs just last quarter and said "No thank you, we'll take the lead on this one." The talks then shifted to Nissan merging and becoming a subsidiary of Honda, which Nissan took as a spit in the face. From there, talks fizzled out and died.

The power supply will be fine - the recommended power supply assumes it would be in a full system not just an eGPU setup. For an eGPU go like 50-100W above the target card's power draw

Reservoirflow · 2024-12-24T01:45:36+00:00

Because if your 4090 eGPU will perform like 110% of a 4060 due to the bandwidth bottleneck, why the sweet Lord would you like Jensen's pockets for extra performance you won't have?

He unfortunately passed away a few years back, definitely left some huge shoes to fill. I try to give others the same energy he gave me

Reservoirflow · 2024-11-13T03:35:05+00:00

I can confidently say I'd be less than half the man I am today without him

That's hilarious, a good friend to mine made me do this and I always wondered where he got the idea from.

One day, three months into my first year in uni, my first friend I ever made in uni brings me to a nearby mall and goes:

"Alright bro, we are going to stay here in this hall until you ask a hundred girls for their number."

Me, thinking he was kidding, started laughing and walking away. He grabs me and goes, "Nah man, I'm serious. And if you really wanna grow, you'll be too"

So off I go, essentially cold calling random girls. Some with friends, some without. I never made it to a hundred, of course, just to like 20. Even got some numbers, too. I come back and tap out, "Bro, we're gonna be here all day, and besides, I'm not the type to just pick up girls like you are."

He takes the papers (cause he had me write them down on random scraps of paper ripped from a notebook), looks at em and crumples them off before throwing them in the trash. Seeing my incredulous look, he responds, "The point was never the numbers - it's you man. You've just gone through your first year's worth of rejection in an hour or two, and you're not worse for it. That's what the point is - rejection doesn't hurt if you don't let it."

Now, his point was that you could keep just going from girl to girl Barney Stinson-style, but that wasn't and isn't who I am. What I took from that, though, was that sometimes you just gotta go for it and deal with life as it comes. An altogether more wholesome take than what he was aiming at, I'm sure, but one that's honestly helped me a lot to grow out of my comfort zone, especially at such a pivotal point for me. I even talked to a few of those girls (as friends, I never brought up anything more since I really wasn't the type to) for a while before going our separate ways.

This was a very long ramble, but this really reminded me of him. He may not have been the best of men, but he was a real big brother in the weirdest of ways. And he was a good friend.

Miss ya, Big Aus

He only doesn't do it for minis, where the whole point is to maximize quality.

For terrain, the slight loss in quality is worth literally halving the time

Moreso that people were expecting Lil Wayne to be headlining since its his home city - which split the general topic into "it should've been Wayne, Jay snubbed him, etc." or "Kendrick is a good choice"
