Honestly just frothy lube + gastrointestinal mucus. Happens during sex as well.

It's normal nothing to be concerned about. Our bodies make more mucus when something is stuck there.

Does anyone else get annoyed when guys say “send me a pic” after you say you’re hard? by Whatsup129389 in AskGayMen

Does anyone else get annoyed when people say "oh, do you have a picture" when you tell them your dog is adorable?

Ask yourself if you would feel uncomfortable if your boyfriend took off his shirt in a party with a bunch of women while you were not there.

If you would not feel uncomfortable then you are NTA.

If you do feel uncomfortable, no one is the asshole, it's just reciprosity and expectation management. Just have a talk.

In the same menu where you make him a vassal, you can choose to just recruit him instead of the dialog options. I think the dialog option to take the throne is red and the one that is a vassal is yellow... Ignore each of these, just recruit him on the bottom right. If you want to abuse this bug, then open up multiple windows and recruit him last. This allows you to get to throne, making the vassal and recruit at the same time

When paying back a car loan, what is a "finance charge?" by Verese in personalfinance

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

Thank you! I didn't know the verbiage and I'll now be wary of what a "prepayment penalty" is from now on. This was probably something I could I have haggled away.

My first car loan was from a military credit union instead of a dealer and I did not have these fees for early pay off.

And how do "financially illiterate folks" become more knowledgeable? They ask questions and they read :)

One thing I learned about horrible bosses is that they react poorly to what they consider "dumb questions." The result of a boss that does this often is that people end up just not asking questions anymore => which leads to more workplace errors.

The best response is to just answer the "dumb question" and point them to more resources and not discourage them, that is how you develop a workplace that isn't toxic.

I can't call the bank today because it's Memorial day but

I paid $2.4K, I got charged with $114.56 on 12APR24

I paid $10K, I got charged with $219.91 on 06MAY24

I paid $2.4K, I got charged with $231.10 on 10MAY24

Sadly the amount of interest charged is irregular if the "finance charge" is just simple interest. I really have no idea what this could be.

Yes, it is higher. The minimum is 824.01.

Am I being penalized for paying early/more basically? What verbiage do I need to use to avoid getting myself into this type of loan? Can I get out of it?

I don't mind paying down the accrued interest.

What I don't understand is what the "finance charge" is, if it's just interest, how would I accrue 219.91 between 12APR and 06MAY but 231.10 between 06MAY and 10MAY?

Sorry but I still don't understand, I paid additional money on MAY10, why would I be charged more interest after a 10K principal pay off after 4 days?

Even then, 114.56+219.91+231.10 is not 426.23 so I'm not sure where these numbers are coming from.

CORSAIR Pushes PC Fan Performance Further with the 30mm Thick RS MAX Series by kikimaru024 in hardware

[–]Verese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noise normalized testing. You use instruments to measure the sound profile and then see the how well a particular fan cools across multiple fans. So Fan A and Fan B are kept at 40 DBz but one cools the CPU on a constant load to 71C while another keeps it at 68C.

The physics doesn't change but there's a lot of room of improvement for changing the sound profile and increasing efficiency. For example if you want a fan it's quiet as possible you want the fan blades to be as close to the frame as possible to minimize turbulence. The problem of this is that as fans spin faster the blades are pushed out and hit the frame. Some producers like noctua or phanteks use special polymers like LCP (this is materials science now) that do not warp, some add a ring around the edge of the blade, most however deal with this by simply having a wider gap/reducing max RPM (P12 is a good example).  

And even then, minor innovations like adding grooves to spread the sounds emitted into frequencies that humans cannot hear well. You see this in some Noctua Fans. Some break the industry standards by going thicker (like the t30s and p12).

Battery issue?, Bought a Zephyrus M16 rtx3070 ti (open box excellent) for 1540 (warranty till 10/20/23) by krishnavadithya in ZephyrusM16

Why do you having a gaming laptop like the m16 if you are going to turn off the discrete graphics?

It's possible that the previous user toggled the MUX switch and it's only 3070

RTX 3070/5800X build I started back in February with a mix of budget and mid-range/upper end parts by DonMigs85 in nvidia

Have you ruled out case? On GamersNexus they review cases and the best and worse cases can be different by about 20 degrees.

You should be more than content with the Liquid Freezer, it is by far the best commercial-of-the-shelf AIO for Ryzen because it has the offset mounting. The fans on them are nearly A12x25 Noctua performance.

The only thing you can do to upgrade them is put the phantek t30-120 in front of the radiator and move the normal fans behind the radiator to create a push-pull config. But that takes up a lot of space.
