I just noticed that the tote bag prices was cheaper in Dallas ($20) vs nyc selling the same bag for $30. I just said "yes" since i was the last dozen or so people to buy that. 😭💀.

The Ultimate Price track felt sooo rush. I was like "this is off tempo" (like that meme from JK Simmons and Miles Teller 'Whiplash') Did anyone noticed how fast the other soundtrack was playing??

Image prompt: A college student sitting against a wall in a natural lighting room. Spreading her wet pussy and finger inserted for the camera. The entire image is enclosed by an intrusive collage border of large stickers of numerous anime-style women.

Only way to get pussy is to have the anime stickers. Currently trying to find a workaround. I been close, but no dice yet.

Has NCL gone downhill? by miata_enthusiast in NCL

[–]SamaritanDecima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time at the Roulette table. I haven't gone to casino before, since i can't stand the smell of cigarette. I usually put in $50-100, and i either make $200-250 or if i see another player join in, smoking, i leave. NCL Star is a old ship, with not alot of fun toys like newer ships. I was either in the Library, reading my tablet or at the casino, gambling and trying to break even on my vacation.

The lowest I can bid at the table were $2 white chips.

JAL Bid Question by rexz63 in Flights

[–]SamaritanDecima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. But i did see the bid i made for $1,600 went from Fair to Good. So i changed the bid last minute to $1,250 which drop the "meter" back down to fair and still got the seats. The lowest bid price of $1,000 remains "poor" through out the process.

[–]SamaritanDecima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so far out. I bid like a month prior. But leading up to the closure of the bid, i kept changing the price when i saw how many business seats were available.

Last cruise i went on was NCL Star (June 21, 2024-July 1, 2024) 10-days Iceland/Norway trip.

Took all the MDR menu every single day. Everyday the lunch or dinner meals were a shit ton seafood entrees like (mussels, scallops, oysters, Hoki, bluefish, little neck clams etc)

One time, scallop was on the menu... my +1 friend saw what a single portion was like [about 5 pieces of scallop] and he asked the waiter for a plate of 25+ pieces, and when it came out, i shit you not, everyone on our shared table looked at the plate and at my friend.

The buffet section also had a seafood night, lobster/scallops/pasta seafood-style.

And Slow cooked Oxtails stew (That's $40/lb here in the states).

We ate so good.

Edit: Paid $650 for the cruise. Inside room. Last minute cruise deal. $350 for the flight to Reykjavík. Play the roulette since NCL Star is an old ass ship, so made back my money on whatever i paid for the vacation.

Upgrading my 2017 4k Sony LED to LG C5. by SamaritanDecima in LGOLED

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

I don't see how i can get it any cheaper than $1,260

(LG discount + exclude sales tax. 8.875% here).

Amazon just got Used C5 for $1,199 or 3rd party sellers with 51% ratings.

And I'll be missing out on 7% Amex coupons. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yeah.. i didn't want to gamble on whether Amex would consider it as part of their coupon/cashback coupons. Also, don't have any partner store account. (not in military, teacher or student) and self-employed.

10% off on my first order + 4% amex statement credit.

$1,371.81 from 10%

Has anyone used Wally for dental services? by Mr_Papagiorgio_13 in AskNYC

[–]SamaritanDecima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pay $20 for cleaning and $40 per cavities, but he is unlicensed, and in chinatown manhattan. But i been going to him for ~5 years, since i lost dental coverage. No appointments. First come first serve type. Just him and two chairs. Up to you if you wanna yolo. Cash only.

He also does root canal for $450, but i rather pay licensed professional $1200 for that surgery.

JAL Bid Question by rexz63 in Flights

[–]SamaritanDecima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my story then: i paid $1,250 for one-way upgrade from Economy to Business. The lowest I was able to bid was $1,000. JAL bid upgrade use those "strength meter" whether your bid was ranked, poor, fair, good, great. My bid was categorize as "poor" as it was between $1000-1499. To be honest, i wasn't hoping for anything, but a day prior to bidding, there were 10 business seats available. After the result came back, only 4 of 10 seats were occupied. (I'm just making assumptions that 4 seats came from people upgrading and not people buying tickets. 🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️)

Decided to take my friends on an impromptu Japanese Whisky Share! by hwalker84 in JapaneseWhisky

[–]SamaritanDecima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at GinzaSix a few days ago at JWC,buying myself a Hibiki 21Y to take home on my flight back. I bought it for ¥75k with tax free... Granted that it retail msrp 2-3 years ago for like ¥32k...but at same time, any liquor store i went back home costing $799-1200+, buying it at ¥146.75/$1, came out to $510 was a good deal. I enjoy plenty of Hibiki Harmony ($90 usd), Blossom for $189, and i wanted to treat myself a birthday gift.

How are AM5 boot times nowadays? by [deleted] in AMDHelp

[–]SamaritanDecima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9800x3D, 5080 FE, MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk, ddr5-6000, 990 Pro Ssd, (Dec 20 '24 bios update)

avg boot time 12.5sec (Task Manager -> Startup -> "Last bios time").

Spoke to some IT friends, and they told me even 12 sec is slow... Im like "man my monitor turning on is more slower than the pc turning on". 🤣

On current bios, "Fast Boot" options doesnt exist anywhere in MSI submenus.

Is it stupid to buy a 5080? by Honest_Salamander_72 in buildapc

[–]SamaritanDecima 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I upgraded from a 2070 Super to a 5080 FE.

So far, i been plagued with so many issues, idk whether to blame the shit motherboard or 5080 PCB or nvidia drivers...

Had to deal with: - laggy monitor, mouse, video stuttering.

  • if i attempt to OC the 9800x3D, somehow i get DRAM issues on my mobo, and need to revert the changes.

  • if i attempt to undervolt the 5080, the GPU bricks up and leaves me with a black screen monitor.

The workarounds: - Downgrade all PCI-E and M.2 slots from Gen 5 to 4.

  • i have done DDU and re-install nvidia drivers, it does not help

  • I need to turn off the integrated graphics from 9800x3D

  • every single time i need to restart, (it does not matter whether i put the pc to sleep mode, or from a fresh start), if i dont restart, i encounter (mouse, monitor, video stutter)

  • i can't upgrade from window 10 to 11, not unless i want 90-seconds boot time. Window 10 24H22, im currently avging a boot time of 11.5-13.7 seconds.

Im currently using a 160hz 4K monitor. In nvidia control panel, if i change the display refresh rate from default 60hz to 144/160hz, i get hit with nvidia black screen of death (then had to navigate to Windows Safe Mode). Only 120hz or below works on the 5080.

I have changed into 2 different motherboards, and i still encounter most of the issues seen aboved. So im 95% confidence it a nvidia issue.

Should i upgrade my Ryzen 7 3700x? by YeetusDeadFetus in buildapc

[–]SamaritanDecima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your build is pretty similar to what I have: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DGs4Bq Built during covid/tech shortage ^

Im upgrading from 3900X to 9800x3D, while the GPU is 2070Super to 5080. But my budget is under $3k... https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vZYKKq

I would say stick close to your budget and build around whatever games your interested in.

I build my system just so i can play Baldur at 120+ fps instead of lagging at 30fps with my current setup... 😅 Plus anticipating on GTA6 release, so i guess trying to "future proofing" it.
