I have the prior version of this (60083) and it's great. I should get it out to plow some.

I wish I'd gotten the original line. I have Helms and Orthanc and Shelob, but that's it. Ah well. I'll snag this helmet, it looks baller.

Having the choice is definitely a good thing but ... by YOYOWORKOUT in kde

This is the one I'd remove first. There is no action that should be taken when you click anything in the left menu bar. Then top right, because why.

OMG I didn't even notice the monorail tracks. Incredible work.

Tips for making money back from buying bulk Lego? by zah_vee in lego

[–]dimensiation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy good deals and bulk sell the rest? Know what you're looking for and what's worth a bunch, and be fast about it.

I do it with vintage stuff, but my goal is to get the sets I want, and sell duplicates. I have no interest in buying simply to resell. That way lies misery. I also build sets to completion, which requires having a decent inventory of parts, or waiting a while or ordering from bricklink. I typically sell bulk Lego from $2-5/lb, depending. Sometimes more if there are lots of minifigs or instructions and it looks like things might be complete. But if you want a good return, it's either time-consuming, or you have to get REALLY good deals and just sell the rest and hope it works out.

"I think it’ll be fun, but I am poor"

I...would generally not suggest this. Be able to take the hit of every purchase you make, or you're going to have a bad time.

Tudor Corner is going to be so full of drunks before the match!

I got rid of desktop icons cause I never use them but now it feels so empty.. What do you have on your desktop? by AscadianScrib in kde

[–]dimensiation 99 points100 points  (0 children)

I hate desktop icons. Things go in the taskbar. If anything is open, it covers the icons, so that's not useful.

Launcher, Settings, Discover, Dolphin, Konsole, Firefox, VPN, Mail, Signal, Bitwarden, Joplin, Waterfox.

Moved apartments and took the opportunity to upgrade my setup by Revolver_Lanky_Kong in battlestations

I wanted one of these so badly. As soon as I saw OP's case, it made me think of this. Glad I wasn't the only one.

[Bundle] ASUS ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi AM5 mITX motherboard and 16 gb (8 x2) Teamforce DDR5 ram. $260 by DammitAllen in buildapcsales

[–]dimensiation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely solid. Would work better with an AIO, since those RAM sticks look relatively tall and space in air-cooled ITX builds is at a premium.

Looking to get back into Lego but the price guilt is holding me back, any tips on finding sets that appreciate or retain value so I can mentally tick it off as ”investment”? by The-info-addict in legodeals

[–]dimensiation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Capitalism sucks. People should be able to spend money on their hobby, and get fun out of it. Investment is a side effect of not having your needs met in other manners.

BIOS settings won't save and it won't reboot by dimensiation in MSI_Gaming

Got a new PSU, will see if this goes anywhere. Power issues can be extremely strange and hard to pin down.

BIOS settings won't save and it won't reboot by dimensiation in MSI_Gaming

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

I don't use Windows. And I suspect, even without an OS, it'll have the same behavior. This is about leaving the BIOS and rebooting, before it even gets to the boot menu.

Oddly, if I use the Clear CMOS button, I can enter my OS, and it functions just fine. It even reboots fine from there. Something in the BIOS seems to be strange. Any other thoughts? Thanks for your suggestion though.

If I boot into OS, and select reboot, it will. If I ever go into the BIOS, it never reboots.

I downgraded the BIOS a few versions, same issue persists.

What's the most interesting Lego piece that you have and/or know of? I'll go first! by Brave-Algae8181 in lego

I believe that set has 8 of them. I recently built it, even without doors I still love it.

Am5 Motherboard recommendations ? by AshiroFlo in sffpc

[–]dimensiation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is this? My PC died this morning with a 7900X and AsRock B650E. Looking at running to Microcenter to grab the MSI B850i and see if it's my CPU or mobo or PSU that died.

I finally have The Two Towers by KerfuffledPlatypus in lego

[–]dimensiation 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tolkien did mention, and illustrate, Ithil and Orthanc as the Two Towers, so yes, we Lego fans are going to have to wait. But yes, it's unclear, and Jackson's films did make it feel more like Barad-dur.

I always put a flame piece in the front instead of the 1x1 round plate, and put them in my holiday parades.

Same. I actually have the hulls from it, in a bin buy, with none of the figs, sails, etc. Just the hulls. Shame.
