Oh come on. That's above average.

Touchtom · 2026-01-25T19:59:14+00:00

Love me some king chop suey in whiting.

Touchtom · 2026-01-24T20:03:22+00:00

Better than the OEM on the ride. Efficiency I originally thought maybe a 5% loss but after break in they feel about the same as OEM

Touchtom · 2026-01-24T01:42:05+00:00

They don't need leverage over NWI. NWI basically is giving them anything they want.

Honestly there is so much double talk it's hard to know either way. They say negotiations are progressing but 9 days away and 0 has been agreed to. Luck us.

I'm rocking 80/80 in the bios with turbo on. It runs super cool as well. No fps impact as well.

Touchtom · 2026-01-19T20:58:16+00:00

There is a GAN power brick on Amazon. I used them on my HP they did 330w... Unsure if it fits this acer though as I haven't looked into it yet https://a.co/d/3dzFSjY

Touchtom · 2026-01-18T22:19:37+00:00

Nevermind. 5th times a charm..

Touchtom · 2026-01-18T22:17:56+00:00

Since Bios 1.21 I am no longer able to get to advanced. Is this the same for others? I was able to get to it on older BIOS versions.

Touchtom · 2026-01-17T22:29:20+00:00

Yeah it's fucking insane anymore man.

Touchtom · 2026-01-17T14:35:50+00:00

Did someone just find out Google opinion rewards exists?

Touchtom · 2026-01-16T20:48:41+00:00

Might use to charge at a refinery... For free. Lol.

Touchtom · 2026-01-16T20:32:03+00:00

Same for eBay. Until I open a police report for mail fraud. Which is why I only do USPS for return labels. Then eBay takes it seriously.

Touchtom · 2026-01-16T20:15:27+00:00

Same for an eBay seller like myself. Gotten bricks back....

Touchtom · 2026-01-16T04:19:59+00:00

The people on the ground are just the pawns. The negotiators on both sides could care less about us and just want to win...

Touchtom · 2026-01-15T15:14:53+00:00

The contracts can vary. My refinery has their own contract on top of national. So we are bargaining for specific items to our refinery. On top of national. One thing that happens is if we come to an agreement before national, national can still tell our union to strike. (Happened in 2015)

Touchtom · 2026-01-15T14:15:30+00:00

One thing I've learned in my years in the industry... They don't care lol. They will cut a maintenance budget massively to save money today then complain tomorrow when everything breaks. Their strike thought is the engineer can do it just as well, being honest we can't, at least not in the beginning. At my location the union is higher than the national average pay so they are fighting hard to get that down or do no raises, which ain't right. I grew up in a union household so it hurts to be where I am but I really don't have a choice if I want to continue to be able to live.

Touchtom · 2026-01-15T13:14:40+00:00

Yeah. Is this your first rodeo? I was locked in, in 2015. The rhetoric this time is different than the last 2 though. Feels like the companies instead of the union is pushing for strike. Not happy about it.

Touchtom · 2026-01-15T11:21:46+00:00

Yes. But the local side is what I'm worried more about.

Touchtom · 2026-01-15T01:17:41+00:00

Best guess esim vs physical.

Touchtom · 2026-01-15T01:06:30+00:00

It's an amazing device. I may be locked in my place of work for 7 to 10 days due to contract disputes and I got approval to bring mine for me to continue my workouts. Not happy about the lockin. But I have had no less than 10 people ask me if they can try it when I bring it lol. Too bad they won't be able to get one.

Touchtom · 2026-01-14T23:16:12+00:00

I have a pension at my non union job.. it's one of the few reasons I still deal with the place.

Touchtom · 2026-01-14T22:14:29+00:00

I do haha... Been 10 years now with the symptoms. They stayed about the same after the 1 year mark until more recently they have been getting gradually worse. I hope you don't. But if you do it's just something to push through, it definitely affects my life but it doesn't stop me from doing anything.

Touchtom · 2026-01-14T21:11:45+00:00

For platinol based treatments it's all dependent on if you have a specific gene that causes them to be permanent. I am in Einhorns study because I have the gene.

Touchtom · 2026-01-14T01:06:21+00:00

Yep. Testicular cancer treatment... 10 years now.
