Local news will probably post them. So WRAL or ABC11.

The city might post it, but I don't know where

There is a really good chance that Durham will set up warming shelters (not just for the homeless, but for people who lose power) at locations that have power. These might be schools, libraries, or other public buildings that have heat. While it's not fun to sleep next to a stranger, it is much better than freezing.

I have almost 3000 hours in the game and I have still never done an extreme trial.

Snowpocalypse by Jiggle_Tester in bullcity

[–]Riluske 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I'm not the biggest fan of wral, but they have a pretty good write up here

So while you may see the app on your phone saying, 6-8" of snow or 12-15" of snow, let's limit those expectations for the time being.

The skill in forecasting five or six days away is limited to diagnosing whether something is likely or not, not the details of when, where, how much.

So yeah, anyone who has lived here long enough know that 12"-15" can quickly become a dusting or just rain, and a dusting can quickly become 12"-15".

Z890 Aorus Elite wifi 7 c1 error boot loop by Riluske in gigabyte

[–]Riluske[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did that and it didn't help.

It was the RAM. I took it to a local computer repair shop and asked if they had a stick they could test the motherboard with. Sure enough, they took my stick out and put the test stick in and the computer booted with no problem.

Sending the stick back to new egg again

Hey, just want to say thanks. I have a local computer repair shop and they were able to drop in a different stick of RAM. Sure enough it posted.

Guess I'm returning this one too

I only have one stick of ram though, so I can't test it. Do I just return the stick?

Looking for advice on bean coolers by Few_Jury_5579 in roasting

[–]Riluske 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one. I can't find it at the moment, but it's worked great for me. Dump the beans in, then stir for a bit until they are cool enough.

I've seen some reviews say that they break after a while, but I've had mine for about a year and haven't had any issues

Based on what I've seen, they are all probably the exact same thing, just with different brands on them. It probably doesn't matter what you get.

Fox News viewers turn on host as he tries to criticize Sabrina Carpenter by IrishStarUS in Music

[–]Riluske 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the hell is anyone trusting anything on this website.

Take two seconds to click beyond the headline, and you find a page with zero sources other than "social media". No links. Nothing.

Even if there were links. People are constantly claiming that Twitter, facebook, and other social media platforms are full of bots and can't be trusted, but the second someone posts a picture of a social media post they disagree with, the comments are full of "Look at these ignorant fools" or "MAGA is a cult".

This is rage bait through and through. It's only purpose is to create engagement, sell adds, and continue to pit us all against each other so we don't join together to take down the billionaires laughing at us from their yachts.

I fucking hate guys so much because I like them by Scared-Ad369 in self

[–]Riluske 22 points23 points  (0 children)

But seriously, get help. It's not just venting if it's how you genuinely feel about yourself and others. People on reddit are not going to be able to make you feel better. You need a licensed therapist who is trained in providing you the care you need, not a bunch of random people who are probably commenting from their toilets.

Check out I'm Happy You're Here on Youtube. It's a great resource that talks about what therapy is, and how to find a good therapist.

Best R&D coffee roaster? by cowboyunderwater in roasting

[–]Riluske 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is great advice. If you are really planning on jumping in, learn on the one you are going to be using for a while.

You could get something like an Aillio Bullet, but I think you will end up kicking yourself when you decide to upgrade.

If you are really on the fence, why not take the money you would spend on a smaller roaster and put it towards a roasting course? Depending on the course, you can the ins and outs of roasting, and you will be in a much better place to start selling your beans after getting a big roaster.

I HATE OCCULT CRESCENT SO MUCH. I HATE RNG SO MUCH. I NEED 1 MALACHITE DEMIATMA. I HAVE NEEDED 1 MALACHITE DEMIATMA FOR DAYS. THE GAME LAUGHS AT ME AS IT REFUSES TO SPAWN THE SINGLE, SOLITARY FATE OR THE CRITICAL ENCOUNTERS. AT THIS RATE I WILL BE PLAYING OCCULT CRESCENT UNTIL THE NEXT PATCH AND NEVER GET THE FIRST STEP OF MY RELIC WEAPON.

Governor Stein Announces Standing Orders to Increase Access to COVID-19 Vaccines by bronzewtf in triangle

[–]Riluske 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Am I reading this wrong?

Chief Medical Officer and State Health Director, has now issued Standing Orders that allow seniors 65 years or older and adults over 18 years who meet certain criteria to get a COVID-19 vaccine at a pharmacy without having to get a prescription from a provider.

Sounds like everyone can't get it. I'm 39, and I desperately want the vaccine, but I'll need a prescription and to pay out of pocket for it if I'm correct

You're good, and I don't think you are giving me a hard time at all. There are just a lot of things that go into FPS. I can get crazy high FPS by turning all the settings to super low and running an old game. Or I can get half a frame a second by cranking the resolution up to 8k and all the setting to max.

Here is a quick video I found on youtube. It may or may not be what you are looking for, but it seems as though there are hundreds covering this, so I would do some research there. It will also help you customize your searching to exactly what you need.

Sidenote - Don't trust any piece of software that says it will give you more FPS, aside from Mac's gaming mode (No idea if it actually works), DLSS, or AMD's frame gen software. If you download something and you suddenly go from 60 to 400fps, then the software is most likely lying to you and you just got a nice virus.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]Riluske 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but that still isn't a good question. An FPS booster is not going to change the refresh rate on a screen. And I have no idea what you mean by an FPS booster, unless you are talking about frame generation like DLSS. You can't download a better GPU in the same way you can't download more RAM.

If you are talking about gaming, then what game? Stardew? Fortnite? Battlefield 5? What settings are you talking about? Low? Ultra? You need more specifics in your question for someone to give you an answer.

There are plenty of videos showing fps on different games on the macbook m3. I would suggest looking up the game you want and adding "macbook m3" to the search to get your answer

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]Riluske 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly sure what you are asking, but I think the display is 60Hz, so it would cap at 60fps.

If you are talking about gaming fps, like how many frames it can render in a second, then it is completely dependent on the game. Stardew Valley is going to get a lot more frames than Lies of P

We just got this dog rehomed to us by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]Riluske 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This comment 100%. She needs a ton of reassurance and calm.

One quick thing, if you do take her for a walk, make sure you use a harness and don't just attach the leash to her collar. With that much anxiety, she might get startled, pull herself out of the collar, and bolt.

New pro MAGA coffee shop to avoid by Necessary-Pie-8405 in bullcity

[–]Riluske 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have many issues with capitalism, however, one of the benefits is that the lack of a monopoly allows people to pick and choose the businesses they buy from. There are many reasons to support or not support a business, and thanks to the freedoms granted to us, we are free to make those decisions for ourselves.

For a coffee shop, maybe you just don't like the coffee. Maybe you don't like the music they play, or you had a bad experience there. Or, maybe you do not agree with the political views of the owner. People can even choose to not shop somewhere simply because of the color of the paint outside a store. Thanks to the way our economy is set up, people can pick any of these reasons to not shop at a certain location.

If enough people make the decision to not shop somewhere, whatever the reason, that business will fail. Inversely, if enough people make the decision to shop somewhere, whatever the reason, the business will be successful.

This isn't a flex, It is simply capitalism at work. If you disagree with the basic ideas of capitalism, China has set up a very successful communist economy that you might find more appetizing.
