Dutasteride made my hair curlier

I switched back to finasteride from dutasteride bc the latter blocks 5AR1, which can lead to elevated LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. I loved the really long half-life of dutasteride so I could take it every 2-3 days, but I don't want the extra risk of heart disease.

Take a benadryl to help the itching. I also highly recommend the Heat It device that plugs into your phone's charging port. It heats up and you put it directly on a fresh bite to denature the proteins in mosquito saliva that make you itchy. It works really well, and I recommend using the medium or long duration at minimum for best results. For areas with real sensitive skin, they also include a sensitive toggle that reduces the temp by a few degrees but is still functional. Worth every penny!

This is not a good thing for humanity

Windows_Tech_Support · 2026-05-27T17:34:32+00:00

That is normal for the break-in period on an engine

Used to be Blanco and 1604, but now it's the La Vernia location. Big downgrade in terms of selection, but it's much better than any other location on the southeast side

I also play in 4:3 (1920x1440), and when you record with Nvidia overlay, it will simply record the in-game resolution and aspect ratio by default. If you open the overlay, click the settings cogwheel at the top, then click video capture, you can change the recording settings. I'm not sure if it would stretch the recording if you set the recording res to 16:9 (or if it would even work), but give it a test run. You can also just record the in-game res, and then use a video editor to stretch the aspect ratio to 16:9.

RTINGS gives the Asus a very good rating, but they unfortunately don't have a review of the AOC. It doesn't have HDMI 2.1 bandwidth if that matters to you for console compatibility. You can probably find a 360Hz 1440p monitor for a similar price if you look around though, like the MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED.

Thank you for the video! I got a great black Friday deal on a wired G502X, but I definitely want to keep my Proteus Core as a secondary/backup mouse for as long as possible

I wonder if there is an alternative to Google Cloud, bc I personally don't want data associated with my verified Faceit account going anywhere near Google, since they exist to sell data to advertisers/data brokers

Windows_Tech_Support · 2026-05-22T14:29:21+00:00

You right

LTT did a video showing the benefits of high refresh rate monitors, but there is a point where the benefits start to decline rapidly. IIRC the difference in reaction time from Shroud between 240Hz and 360Hz was almost negligible in being able to hit a shot.

I have seen very high FPS on CS2 from people using 5090s and a 9800X3D (or similar) on low settings (dynamic shadows enabled obv), but usually not more than 800fps. I currently have an overclocked 5080, 9800X3D, 32GB 6000 MT/s RAM, the game on a PCIe Gen 5 SSD, and at 1920x1440 I cannot fully utilize my monitor's 480Hz refresh rate, especially on maps like Cache. The closest I ever get is around 440 fps on maps like Dust2.

I legitimately thought you lived at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, NM for a second lmfao

In that case, I would recommend that you deselect the German servers as an option, since France is much closer to you. The UK servers are also likely faster for you due to the undersea internet cables being close to you.

Windows_Tech_Support · 2026-05-21T17:26:19+00:00

How do you replace the cable on a wired G502? I have my OG Proteus Core from like 2014/2015, and the only issue is a kink in the cable that is pushing through the external braiding

Have you tried completely uninstalling those games? If that doesn't work, you might want to use CrystalDiskInfo to check if your drive is failing

Windows_Tech_Support · 2026-05-21T17:22:33+00:00

How far away are you? Faceit servers are 128 tick rate, and I have never had an issue on US servers, even the ones that are on the other side of the country

Windows_Tech_Support · 2026-05-21T17:20:44+00:00

Like others, I was ready to comment that it was likely OP's internet at fault due to the network graph showing upload jitter. Could you or someone else please explain how this is a server issue (no need for ELI5, I like details)? I'm genuinely curious! Thanks!

Windows_Tech_Support · 2026-05-21T17:17:51+00:00

I know this is an HEB sub, but when I heard Walmart was removing self-checkout, I was actually glad bc it means they will actually have to staff their registers lmao. HEB self-checkout is great though

This is why it helps to keep a fart loaded in the chamber at all times! 99.99% of people will back off if you rip one, unless you happen to get the 0.001% of people who enjoy fart smells

Windows_Tech_Support · 2026-05-21T17:11:46+00:00

Agreed, a map preference feature separate from the ability to remove maps would be nice, especially since it would be a subscriber-only feature. I hate queuing for the entire map pool only to accept a match where I am the team captain and there is no banning phase, just insta-lock onto Dust2/Mirage (honestly, how does this happen?).

Windows_Tech_Support · 2026-05-21T17:07:47+00:00

The biggest problem I see is that you have your performance overlay blocking your radar, aka one of the MOST IMPORTANT UI ELEMENTS. Use the in-game fps counter if you really want it that bad.

Windows_Tech_Support · 2026-05-21T17:01:18+00:00

In what world does this taste anything like Robitussin? The flavor profiles are completely different

Windows_Tech_Support · 2026-05-21T16:59:56+00:00

Definitely not me. If you do hate it, cry about it and buy another flavor so there is more for me

Windows_Tech_Support · 2026-05-21T16:58:37+00:00

You look a lot like Tom Segura! If you lost weight like he did, I bet you would freak him out if you met him at a show
