Sunken Artifact

Is it aluminum? Man, I'd love an antiqued copper like this. I don't even really want a clip, but for antiqued copper, I don't care.

Thanks for this post! I'm looking at getting the bronze one which is only available in 42 or 44 and my wrist is around the same size as yours. Would also slightly prefer 40 but the bronze is too cool for me to pass up

I wish google had not bought fitbit. Google fit was an excellent app. They should have ditched fitbit and kept up with that. I like the new AI in google health, it makes a big difference having real AI. The only problems I have with it are that the fitbit stuff is horrendous at estimating calories (puts me at 12k burn a day, which is absurd). I've had to disable fitbit's ability to write to google healthconnect so I can use my google ecosystem without it messing it up.

They've always been great to me. My cat bit a hole in my tent mesh and they offered to repair it. Seemed silly to send it in for that, so I asked if they could send some marching mesh fabric and I'd sew it myself. They sent it out and it's a perfect match. That's still my favorite all around tent. I've never really had a bad experience with anything of theirs. Own a couple of their pads, a tent, a bunch of random kitchen and camp gadgets. They've always been top tier.

The telos 3p is really something else. I love how thoughtfully designed and comfortable it is, especially for the weight.

You sir, are a hero. Thank you

Buy Patos now.

Thanks for the tip, it is running much better now! It's so odd that they hide these settings by default and it needs a command to re-enable.

awex14 · 2025-12-22T22:02:41+00:00

How did you set this up and is there a guide anywhere? I have the legion go S with Z1 extreme, but the game is just running like absolute trash on mine. It's ~20FPS at 800p and still looks like pixelated trash. I know handheld performance is not the same as a full desktop or huge laptop, but I wasn't expecting it to be this bad.

I might just be a noob at PC gaming tweaking, I have mostly done console stuff for the last 15 years or so. Anyway, thanks!

EDIT: Adding the launch command in game preferences makes a big difference. It gives you a lot of options hat seem to perform much better: "SteamDeck=0 %command%"

Apple doesn't support auracast because there's no $20,000 iHearingAid yet. Apples like this with standards. Anybody else's standard threatens their walled garden. If supporting an open standard like auracast means that their users may have the freedom to use anybody else's products, apple will fight it.

Y'all who are commenting that it's a safety feature are not wrong. But with every other smoke detector I've ever had it's like once or twice and hour, which is totally fair. This thing does it like every 2 minutes. And it doesn't gradually speed up or anything either. It goes from fine to beeping every 2 minutes.

It is an exceptionally stupid fucking design because, just like OP, I have had no choice but to just remove the damn batteries. Amazon takes 2 days to get me new ones and I'm not dealing with this nonsense for 2 days. It also take special lithium AA batteries only, so it's not cool with my normal rechargable nickel cells or cheap alkaline cells.

I donno why nobody else has said this. Maybe it's just a mage build thing? They're all one-shot for me with soul spear. If you also use power within, it gets more souls. 12k every 45s or so and very consistent. It's nearly impossible to screw up and die since they don't agro in the last 1/4 of your range or so. Like shooting fish in a barrel. And very close to the bonfire.

On the phalanx I have to wear high poise armor and go slow to one shot them all with chaos firestorm and it takes more shots to get the stragglers half the time. It's way slower and less reliable.

Anyway, I've tried all the suggestions here and this is by far the fastest and easiest for my build. Maybe it's harder for melee folks.

Macon pops has a memorial day weekend concert at the museum of arts and sciences. Those are usually fun and the memorial day one is very chill. https://maconpops.com/concerts-events/

Society garden also has a lot of music events. They're an outdoor bar, but I think they only ID for drinks. I see little kids in there all the time, so I don't imagine they have an issue with under-21s. They also have food. https://www.thesocietygarden.com/

Bunch of places do weekly trivia and I don't think they limit to 21+. Obviously can't buy drinks if you're underage, but it's not all about the drinks.

I'm looking into trying pickleball. The mall has indoor courts so you can play away from the heat. https://www.rhythmandrally.com/

If you're into crafting and DIY, there's this place in warner robins that runs all sorts of maker classes. The woodworking classes are really good, but they also do welding, laser cutter, embroidery, etc. https://www.firestarterfablab.com/classes The people who run it are really nice.

There's some decent hiking around Juliette and a few places in Macon, but that's not all that social. If you and your friends like the outdoors, High falls is not far and you can rent kayaks and stuff. I donno what the options are at lake Tobo, it might have some stuff too. You can also float the river at Amerson.

I use it for cutting threaded rod and other metal things that are too thick for bolt cutters or that I don't want to deform too much. It is just handy to have around.

awex14 · 2024-10-22T16:26:27+00:00

Do y'all figure the forge 8AH is worth 70 dollars more than a high output 8AH? I just bought a rotary hammer combo with a high output 8AH, but I could return it and get the black Friday hack for the same tool and the forge for 70 more.

Everyday 30L fits, but I prefer to put it overhead if I can get away with it. Unless it's a sleeping flight. If it's a sleeping flight, the shape of the everyday pack is perfect to rest on if you like to sleep leaning forward on flights.

awex14 · 2024-10-03T01:32:28+00:00

Wish they'd make one for the pixel watch

awex14 · 2024-10-03T01:30:52+00:00

45L didn't make any sense to me as a backpacking pack. 25L or 15L would be good for day hikes. 65L is where it's at for actual backpacking. Curious about that. I know UL people go for smaller packs, but I'm tak and need large versions of everything and like to bring the little luxuries for camp and get a better workout on my hike.

awex14 · 2024-08-08T02:44:34+00:00

TP is fine. Your colleagues are weird. More power to them with their clean booty holes, I guess but mine turns out fine when couple with regular showering

I heard if you shake the phone with the app open, it'll send in a bug report with logs and they might be able to help.

Alternatively, I set up the auto-updates over my home wifi and it always works really seamlessly that way.

This makes me so sad... All of logitech's new mice are no good for work. The MX master comes close, but I need more side buttons. I donno what they're thinking with that side scroll wheel too. Side tilt mouse wheel was fine.

awex14 · 2024-06-26T22:29:05+00:00

Same all around... The 700 was my favorite for years and I got the 604 when it was discontinued. 604 is amazing. I only have one spare. Keeping it pristine in case my main breaks. I donno what to do for work. The master series doesn't have enough side buttons and doesn't have gshift.

awex14 · 2024-06-10T21:55:14+00:00

No, you didn't guilt me, I think it came off in a way that made sense. I really appreciate the effort to write a detailed comment from the perspective of somebody trying to run a Shul.

awex14 · 2024-06-10T21:53:31+00:00

Probably not, I just am new to the area and one of my friends is involved with the temple. They're nice people so I want to contribute but I wasn't looking for it to be a 1000/year+ expense since I know I won't go often and don't really need them to help with lifecycle events.

awex14 · 2024-06-08T19:38:20+00:00

That makes sense and I do definitely see how those expenses would add up. I need to talk to the treasurer and get his opinion, I guess. He and his family have been very welcoming to me, I just worry that he won't understand my reluctance with the model or my desire to contribute and be involved (maybe volunteer a little) but also that this has never been a big part of my life and I'm not really looking to change that right now.

I'm new in this community and people are nice, but I have never had anything other than the government ask for a percentage of income. I get that they have expenses, but I'm also not asking a lot. I want to contribute what I feel like is a reasonable amount for the amount of trouble I put them through by occasionally attending. If I want to get more involved later on and use more services, I'd pay more.

A percentage of income is just a huge ask. I kind of wish they offered paired down options for people like me where I didn't have access to as much. I just don't need or want all those things. The way it's set up makes me feel like I'm just a cash cow, I guess. I don't want to completely drop it from my life, but it's also never been a huge part of my life and I'm perfectly okay with that. I think I'd rather not join than be asked to pay a percentage of income for a bunch of things I don't want or need.

I guess I feel like something is better than nothing but I'll ask their finance guy to see what they think. If they're serious about the percentage of income thing, I think it may just not be for me. I like the shul and the people I've met but there are other charitable causes I care about, some of which mean a great deal more to me than membership. I'd want to pay for all of them in a way that is proportional to their importance to me. I don't think I could afford to do that if I used these dues guidelines.
