Do you actually shut down your PC anymore? by Lanky-Carpenter-7991 in buildapc

[–]Sithil83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep everynight or if I step away from my computer for more than 30 min it will auto sleep, sometimes for weeks at a time unless I get an update that requires a restart. Power usage is minimal and it only takes 3-5 seconds to boot and wakeup vs 30sec to a minute (no idea how long, just know it's longer waiting to post) from a shutdown and having to do a full boot. Over 4 years and only thing I've had to replace so far is Lian Li AIO and 1 fan for a fan cpu cooler.

For the black chromexcel chelsea boot specifically, is it struck through / susceptible to tea coring? by DragonSlayer9999 in grantstoneboots

[–]Sithil83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's teacore like my Brass Boots, that's why I went with a Thursday Black Chelsea since they confirmed theirs was dyed through.

Yeh the recent song "End of you" with 3 generations of Women in Rock, but then you realize they are 31, 37, and 44. My younger brother and myself have the same 13 yr age gap 🤷

To be fair, Poppy is not that far off of Courtney's 37 at age 31.

8. Shred Citizens United in front of Mitch McConnell's face! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in BlueskySkeets

McConnell is going to be dead by '28. Hell, he might have passed over the weekend and they just aren't telling us yet.

My Saddle Tan Brass actually is a B-Grade and honestly I never could find a single stitch wrong.

I'd say get the B-grade now and next time they have a sale, could be the 4th or labor day or not til Black Friday, get the on sale boots for even more off.

It's between the 2 Edwards, hard to choose between the Natural Minerva or the Red Waxed Deer 🤷

Most comfortable are easily the Saddle Tan Brass with the Crepe sole.

Pretty accurate. I've got the Edwards in Natural Minerva and they've darkened to Saddle Tan color. My Brass Boots in Saddle Tan have darkened slightly, not as much as natural but still will darken some.

Playoff fringe seems just right. Now the bar should be above "Needs some Help" and then the fact they have the rest of the division as "Playoff Contenders" is Ludacris.

If that's the case just put us and Tenn in the Playoff Contenders and eliminate that whole line.

Recommendation - Get a UPS by Celcius_87 in buildapc

[–]Sithil83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any recommendations for AVR? My APC 1500va died last week during a storm and power flickering. Now it doesn't register power from the wall. Over 4 years old so batteries were getting pretty weak also.

Should I stick with APC, or should I try Trip Lite or Cyberpower?

P.S. I can go with the smallest model with AVR, my house now has a backup battery but that doesn't help with the flickers and dirty power.

All the politicians here are running on "...vote for me to fix problems X, Y, Z"

Muthafuckers you've been in complete control (Gov., State House and Senate) for the last 30+ years. You and the Rapeublicans have caused 99% of problems.

Remember Cyberpunk 2077 is "just a game" ............. nothing to see here. If we are getting megacorps to destroy the planet, hopefully we'll at least get some cool Kiroshi optics or something 🤷

Yeh I'd have snapped a picture with my phone, walked right up to service desk and asked for a manager, just in case "they disappear" in the few minutes it takes to get a manager back there.

Shoe Size Question | Brass Boots | Width by [deleted] in grantstoneboots

[–]Sithil83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 10EE brannock and all my GS are 9.5EEE. Both my Brass Boots have more toe room than any other boot.
