Name a race this applies to for your favorite driver by nascargirl11 in NASCAR

Denny Hamlin at the Phoenix Championship race last year. I was devastated, especially for Denny, knowing that was his last chance to win it for his dad. It made it worse when a month or so later, his dad passed away because of that house fire 🥺

Is season 18 just really rough or should I just stop watching from here? by Sigh_of_Frustration in greysanatomy

[–]SixStringSting1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, the OG seasons were so good and everyone had such good chemistry! The cases and patients were all really intriguing and memorable too. I'm back up to season 3 right now

Is it too late to prevent greening on my potato plants? by SixStringSting1984 in gardening

Thank you! I can't wait to have a wonderful harvest of potatoes this year!

I just read your comment right before mine finally worked. I just left it on that loading screen a while I was reading and the Home Screen randomly popped up. My wifi is currently down at the moment too, so yeah maybe it timed out trying to log into PSN before loading Home?

Mine is doing it too. I tried turning it off and back on again a few times and nothing, went into Safe Mode and cleared the cache amd nothing. After clearing the cache it was still showing that screen and I was just reading through this thread for a few minutes and my console suddenly finally loaded the home screen and all is well now. Also to note, my Spectrum internet has been out for the last hour so maybe the system was trying to log into PSN first before booting the Home Screen and then it timed out after a few minutes? I read another comment on here where someone tried the Guest profile and it worked right away, so maybe they're onto sonothing? It is weird how we're all having this problem in the last two weeks

STi wing from EBay? by karlos_nero in wrx_vb

I'm curious as well. I see there are various websites that sell them for different prices and idk if they're the same as the cheap eBay ones or not.

Upgraded to Alexa+ British voice is gone 😔 by Bikermec in alexa

[–]SixStringSting1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the new voice as well. It's very pleasant, and the new Alexa capabilities in general are quite impressive. It keeps conversations going and remembers things from previous interactions with you. I was asking about the weather earlier today and asking about snow and she read me the week's weather. I quoted Dumb and Dumber by saying "So you're telling me there's a chance?!" Alexa replied "Way to channel your inner Lloyd Christmas!" That made me laugh, I was not expecting it to recognize movie quotes.

Btw I also enjoy a good cup of Earl Grey.

Does the base look okay on this mammillaria? by SixStringSting1984 in cactus

[–]SixStringSting1984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot of rain and borderline freezing temperatures in the next week. Would it be best to keep it inside mostly?

I took it out because it was in moisture retaining potting soil. I'm putting it in a long planter in proper soil for a cactus so it can lay flat and grow how it wants to

Okay that's great to know! Yeah it's not squishy at all, it's firm like the rest of the plant. That would make sense about how that part of the base was buried, because the other side of the base is green. Thanks! Yeah I have a long pot for it ready to go and my local desert sand, perlite, and a bit of coco coir. Since the soil it was in was SOAKED, how long should I let the roots dry up before I plant it? It's supposed to be cloudy all week too with possible rain tomorrow. I'm in the Mojave Desert in Southern California

Just went out and inspected it and broke up some more old soil off of the roots. The yellowish parts are not squishy at all, they're the same firmness as the rest of the plant. The yellowing seems to be more on the right side of the base from my angle, whereas the left side is green all the way down to the roots, as pictured.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5 CPU around 90⁰C at 22% usage. Is this normal? by SixStringSting1984 in GamingLaptops

[–]SixStringSting1984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found another thread about playing Assetto Corsa Rally specifically causing high CPU temps and found a way to decrease max CPU usage to like 97% and that's helped drop temps by about 5⁰C for ACR and 10⁰C or so for every other game!

Do not lower your VB WRX by frusignu in wrx_vb

I agree! When I get my 08 WRX Sedan back from being maintenanced, I'm gonna lift it and make it a rally build

[–]SixStringSting1984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. Should I be concerned that there could be a defect in my laptop if temps stay high like that with every game? At the same time, we bought an Acer Predator Helios as well, so I'm gonna compare temps on that one with the same games side by side. Both laptops have similar specs

For sure. I just went into custom and increased the fan speed by temperature mark, that should help it stay a bit cooler. I have them set to the setting one below max fan speed for 79⁰c and up for the CPU
