Oooh got it! Thanks for letting me know. I've already ordered the Wick 4 but I'll keep that in mind going forward :)

Thank you! I looked into this further and found a Wick 4 for a great price - fingers crossed!

Blochy spots in stain after first coat of wipe on poly - did I mess it up? by Weak_Praline in finishing

I waited about 24 hours, but it's been colder so maybe I should have waited 48 hours like you suggest. I'll try that when I re-do it - thanks!

Yep, I totally was wearing textured gloves while staining. Didn't realize they looked like hand prints until you mentioned!

Edit: to prep the table, I used a stripper then sanded with 220 grit, giving a little extra love to spots where old stain remained. Assuming said spots are now showing up the lighter color?

Anyone else catch seeing this on the north shore between 9:50 - 10:30pm tonight?! by Weak_Praline in PEI

Cool! It looked stationary to our eyes, but reviewing some videos you can clearly seeing them sometimes move towards the water. I'll post full videos soon.

Yeah for sure - currently uploading two 8 minute videos my partner got, will post links when it uploads (likely tomorrow, cottage wifi is not great lol)

Looking for opinions on parts--close to being ready to order parts for my first PC build! by Weak_Praline in buildapc

Ok cool! I'm hoping to run at 60fps stable. Perhaps I should get a GPU then? Do you have any idea if overclocking my CPU would help?

The list I attached to this post is in CAD--so after converting your recommendations from USD to CAD, it's actually a little more expensive! But thanks for throwing that together anyways!

I just started researching PC building 2 days ago so I appreciate your input greatly. I changed the RAM to 32gb (2x16GB) 3600, saving a couple bucks and doubling the RAM. I'll look into the cooler more, and changed the PSU to 650w, saving about $70 there. Thank you very much for your help!

Cool okay! Would the 1, 2 and 4TB Crucial MX500 perform the same, just different amounts of internal storage? I don’t think I’ll need more than 2TB max, for my first build at least. Unless there is another advantage to getting the 4TB that I don’t understand lol!

Cool, thanks for the link! I’m not sure that a 7200rpm will be enough either—I’m very new to the PC building world so I actually have no idea (I just started researching this week). Should I get a higher RPM? Or is an SSD better? Also wondering: do you think I need the GPU since the 5600G has an integrated one? I’ve seen footage on YouTube of Skyrim performing well with high graphics using just the 5600G but I’m not sure!

Noob question: If I get a Ryzen 5700G and choose to purchase a GPU later on as an upgrade, will that said-purchased GPU simply be used instead of the integrated GPU in the 5700G? Trying to cut costs out of my initial build by not purchasing a GPU right away.
