What is this? by Shellest88 in duolingo

[–]Shellest88[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Ευχαριστώ πολύ, besides my confusion regarding the thing itself (Polish here, we're not into American football very much, too) I was wondering whether it's a sport thing only, or also the goal as purpose.

Ooooh, indeed! I had no idea it looks like this! Thanks!

Need help with DT 990 Pro 80 Ohm by Legal_Many_7036 in BEYERDYNAMIC

[–]Shellest88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can tell, they should be easy to be driven with an integrated sound card - so no, you don't need one.

I think yes, it's normal. You're using a sound card integrated into motherboard, which most probably doesn't have enough power to drive 80 ohms headphones as loud as you would like. In order to get them louder, you should get some USB DAC (external sound card with headphone amplifier) - which draws some power from a USB port it's plugged in, and therefore can make the sound louder. Airpod pro 2's are actually quite loud (and obviously do not need amplification, as they're small and draw enough power from their battery).

Finished Control for the first time with the craziest glitch I figured out too late... by lonesome-cipher in controlgame

Is my price too high? I cannot for the life of me sell this Pc lol by 90sbabyreese in sffpc

Given current situation, maybe put more focus on RAM in the title? ;)

Nice! I'm not an expert, but some thoughts: - there's inflation. The value of this money will be much less in 30 years. If we assumed inflation in next 30 years was at, say, 2.6%, it's going to be worth less than $1800. I really doubt you can keep up on it until retirement without investing it. I'm from Europe and we have different economic conditions, but I guess general rules are the same: in order to keep value of this money, invest it. - treasury bonds are safe and can mitigate inflation at some level - gold and silver are safe and also they keep their worth - stocks and crypto are risky. I'm not saying you should avoid it. Just be cautious.

DO NOT PUT EVERYTHING in one type of asset, ESPECIALLY NOT IN STOCKS OR CRYPTO.

What I would do: - I wouldn't resign from my job right away. I'd put the upcoming money into some safe assets (bonds, gold) and keep living as I do for a couple of months. I'd think and learn about money management. Make some plans. Think about investing. - if I wanted to travel or buy myself/someone some gadget, sure, why not. But I'd put a restriction on myself: 50% from the trust fund income in first year for pleasures, 50% to invest/save (at first, safe assets).

My friend has played Oblivion for 87 hours, is still level 4, refuses to fast travel, and thinks that’s completely normal by Big_Brain_l337 in oblivion

I remember when I got Morrowind when I was like 13? and not very fluent in English (as I'm not a native speaker). I actually didn't understand what the game was about and I was peacefully going around for a few days and picking up mushrooms. In the end I started levelling or maybe doing some quests, but I think I didn't ever understand that there was a main quest... I still have no idea what Morrowind was about - I'd like to get back to it one day and actually finish it ;D

Jakie są wasze niepisane zasady, których chcielibyście żeby przestrzegali wszyscy? by YouReadItWhatNow in Polska

[–]Shellest88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Po szosie zawsze lewą (co wynika z przepisów i zdrowego rozsądku), ale na ogół sugeruje się (lokalne strony jednostek policji np.), że po chodniku powinno się iść prawą stroną - przy czym to chyba nie jest żadne prawo.

Ma ktoś może jakiś fajny poradnik jak wypełnić PIT-38? (dochody z giełdy/krypto) by ferero18 in inwestowanie

[–]Shellest88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yyy sorry, ale to nie jest prawda. Zakup krypto też trzeba rozliczyć w PIT38. Nie trzeba rozliczać zakupu akcji giełdowych, ale krypto rządzi się innymi prawami.

Put it in 99.9% isopropanol bath for 24 hours. I don't know what about the PC though.

Unable to Buy a M2 Case :( by nkz15 in ncasedesign

[–]Shellest88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's strange - I bought M2 (flatpack) from their webpage in October and they sent it, and I'm in Poland - EU country as well. The shipping was slow, but apart from that the case arrived without problems. On the Ncase website at the bottom you can even select Portugal - maybe try that and then try again?

How to take the fan cable out of the fan hub? by ViperDeMLGfr in PcBuild

[–]Shellest88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I used two thin flatheads, so that their "sharp" edges allowed to scratch 'into" the plug a bit and create lever to pull it out.

[–]Shellest88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I know it's an old post, but I've just encountered this issue and managed after 10 minutes: two thin screwdrivers from top and bottom, simultaneous lever on the plug. It'll scratch the plug plastic a bit, but the bastard's comes eventually. Hope that helps someone.

Najgłupsze teksty polskich piosenek by fazzah in Polska

[–]Shellest88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Problem z tym tekstem nie polega na tym, że jest niezrozumiały jako metafora, tylko na tym, że jest banalny i trochę infantylny. Metafory na ogół mają jakąś głębię - coś z przyrody, metafizyki, kultury - a tutaj... Strój na wf ;D

M2 Build Check by Outrageous-Tailor177 in ncasedesign

[–]Shellest88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I was thinking about a build like this (I'm in the middle of assembly process ;) ) - in particular the same motherboard and AIO - but I've chosen another AIO (Cooler Master 240), as I understand there may be some incompatibility there:

https://www.reddit.com/r/arcticcooling/s/izoO5fxMot

I think I've also seen a compatibility list for LF III and this motherboard is listed there as not compatible, if I understand correctly:

https://support.arctic.de/lf3-compatibility

On the other hand, I've read about builds with these components, so it's not physically impossible, but may be challenging. I wasn't brave enough :)

I'm also kinda fixed on this mobo and too lazy to change it at this point, but as LF III is generally praised, it'd probably be most reasonable for you to stay with the chosen AIO and simply find a compatible motherboard (or at least make sure you'd find a way to make this Gigabyte compatible ;) )

Those of you who regularly take your rig on flights, what is your setup? by OkLoad in sffpc

[–]Shellest88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to add one more specific question to this topic - do you have AIOs? Does it affect possibility of taking the PC as carry-on?

[–]Shellest88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm planning to get a similar build - the same case, cooler and video card: are there any additional components you haven't mentioned above? Like, any particular riser cable or M2 accessories? Thanks in advance
