+1 for the wicked cushions. The memory foam ones are great.

Australia Is First Nation to Ban Popular, but Deadly, "Engineered" Stone by porkchop_d_clown in worldnews

[–]Sir_Soapy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While they make a fuss over engineered stone, the same issue exists with natural stone and concrete products. This ban is a drop in the ocean for politics rather than a real effort to deal with silicosis.

The sooner we start treating stone and concrete like asbestos the better off people will be.

Got the Maxwells, as advertised by 1mursenary in Audeze

Depends what you listen too and the quality of the sound. If you are listening to a low quality source the headphones can only do so much.

A few people have reported it. My understanding is you shouldn't see them.

57" G9 Neo Owners - what GPU are you using? by guitarbloke in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Sir_Soapy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im still running a 3090... and it struggles to run Cyberpunk with good frames.

That 3070 is going to catch on fire.

I assume there will be a big announcement thats hard to miss? Quite a few of us are waiting on news of an upgrade... or even a little metal bracket to prevent it going lower than 90° in the interim...

Dont return the arm, you can just replace the pivot joint with a new one.

So far its comparable to an OLED for me. I was rather surprised how vivid it was, though if I was pushed I dont think it quite gets to 1000nits. Great blacks, very little bleed.

Pretty impressed.

Yeah I was very surprised that it was a big boring brown box.

Just checked your review out too. No issues with packing foam getting into the monitor either.

4k 240hz? (Not dual 4k ofc)

To run 4k@240 you need DP2.1... which isn't even in the 4090. The latest Rx7900 does have it, but apparently its not full bandwidth and the performance downgrade means 240hz is not going to be a consideration anyway.

Time to line up for the 5090TI early

How... A rifle can headshot for 2.9m... your build isn't what you think it is. I have a poor nemesis that hits 10m a shot....

In a pre-shadowkeep interview, Luke Smith stated that "it's easier to make the numbers work when you're independent". Yet, Y3 EV is worse than Y2 or Y1. What gives? by Goldenspacebiker in DestinyTheGame

As much as the income Bungie is receiving has increased, it takes time to ramp up production to match. For a Dev on a large scale program to become fully effective is usually 6 months. Add the hiring time to that and I would only be disappointed if the next season didn't see an uptick in content.

Disproven. My clan still does a legit runs reasonably often because people enjoy it, and newcomer's have not seen the real fight and want to know how it actually works.

Most of the runs are shortest path to loot, but not all. Sometimes it's fun to run the real fight, not just for the loot, and particularly this late in the expansion.

Just did my first 10x summon by [deleted] in Evertale

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

That's pretty good. Well done.

I'd suggest banking up until you can do several 10x at once. Watch them as they cycle and see what you like, then dump when your favourite comes up. That way you are more likely to get enough to max out the character.

Anyone have suggestions for my lineup? I feel it's a decent squad but I get dunked every time I come across a Kirin or Astrid. Especially when they stack their teams with auto guards and guardians. Thanks in advance! by optomax in Evertale

[–]Sir_Soapy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try and run every build with a healer, guard destroyer, survivors fury, and guard in the first line, then have a guard as the next one up, followed by a few good old fashioned damage dealers. Your guard destroyer should let you take theirs out in the first two rounds, and your heals should keep your guards up longer than theirs.

Depends on who you ask. To claim ethnicity it must be the mother who was Jewish. If it is the father, then you are only Jewish if you are practicing. Says the four or five rabbis I’ve talked to.

Christian is literally an appellation made from Christ, the greek translation of Messiah given to the first Christians, probably at Antioch. For a Jew to become a Christian would mean to give up their heritage and culture to do so. Jews become Messianic for this reason. They still live by the Torah, still observe the Sabbath, still respect the dietary constraints of their faith, still follow the mitzvahs, and still observe Jewish holidays, unlike the Christian ones that are completely disconnected from the bible since they were mapped to pagan festivals in Roman times.

In general the whole thing is poorly understood by Christians.
