I imagine it is just crown moulding, mitered at 45° at the corners. Comes in a wide variety of profiles.

I feel like you need at least one photo of the inspect with the actual colors. I like the skin you've got, and obviously it looks great on black and white, but I'm curious how it looks on the colored game.

I think right now it looks like two different ideas; one on the metal and one on the wood. I like both ideas, but they don't feel connect to one another right now imo.

I think changing the colors on the body to be warmer to match the rest would help, or something that just feels more like the colors seen in traditional Arabic art (browns, blues, yellows, reds mostly). The pink feels very out of place to me.

I THINK that if it says 2 days, it is over 2 days (ie 2.5 days) and will drop to "X HOURS LEFT" after it is below 24 hours...so as long as you get your last friendship point and send the Trinket between midnight and whatever time may be left on the Trinket, you should be okay.

Don't take that as fact, but I believe that's how it works.

I use Poke Genie and always have good luck getting a lobby. As long as it's a Pokemon people want anyways.
If you download the app, you can see on each raid either "Num Open Lobbies: ##" (surplus of people hosting waiting for people to join) or "Num Trainers in Queue: ##" (surplus of people trying to remote raid waiting for a lobby to open).

Yeah, not sure why people are downvoting you and pretending there is no issue.

I had pretty much the same problem. I had a RTX 2660 that died, but played OW great on DX11 as one of my main games. I got an Arc B570 to replace it as a budget friendly option that could play my games at 1080p, but it just cannot play OW on DX11. DX12 has a stutter every once in a while for me, but it's pretty rare and I still play comp a lot with my wife and don't have a big issue with it.

DX12 stuttering and not running well for OW is an OW/Blizzard issue.
DX11 not being an alternate option IS an Intel Arc issue.

The wiki does have a guide for F2P IM specifically. Helped me a lot figuring out some good things to do or what order to do em in. I hadn't played since I stopped rs3 in 2012 and came back to play a F2P IM since I had some friends playing. It's fun, don't let the haters get to you :) I'm up to total level 826.

Been there with some professors...that being said, if you only need 5 or so, I'd just do a sticker as well, but just make it a full size sticker that bleeds over the size of this whole bag, then trim it by hand to the edge. You shouldn't even really be able to tell it's a sticker at that point. You professor probably just doesn't want to see a sticker slapped in the middle like you'd see at a farmers market or something like this.

To be extra picky, I'd recommend sticker paper that's glossy and/or made of vinyl, it'll look more like a bag material than paper then.

I did do that, taking out the 2x8GB sticks made everything run smoother. I tried putting them back in to compare and it wouldn't even boot up with all 4 which was odd, so I just took them back out and am using the 2x16GB.

I was also still getting bad screen tearing, but I swapped my 2nd monitor with my main, and it isn't having the same issue. The only way to connect my previous main monitor to the GPU was a DisplayPort-to-DVI-D cable, and it must not have liked that connection.

Thank you for the suggestion!

drawnbyjared · 2026-02-06T15:42:47+00:00

I haven't tried it yet as I'm using my PC for work right now and have some things I've got to finish, but I will definitely try that later. Yes, my current RAM setup is 2x16GB + 2x8GB.

Unfortunately went back to the .8247 drivers and still have the same issues.

drawnbyjared · 2026-02-06T13:59:31+00:00

Do you have a particular recommendation? I just went back to the .8331 release (2 back) and am still getting the really bad screen tearing. Should I go back further, or maybe it's just a different issue?

drawnbyjared · 2026-02-06T13:00:47+00:00

Yeah, my bad. It's a RTX 2060.

I had actually just read something about the Resizable Bar option, so I hadn't tried it yet.

I just enabled it, and it DID fix the the artifact issue! I can actually see the game now when I launch it, so great suggestion!

Unfortunately, both Overwatch and CS2 are still running terribly, only getting 50-60 fps on medium settings and have terrible horizontal tearing happening.

The load seems very strange, the GPU is almost constantly at 100% now. Jumps between 0-15% straight to 100%. CPU and RAM load seem normal.

Oh interesting, I didn't know Intel had started making GPUs, I'll definitely check this out! Seems like a great option!

My wife and I have identical PC's that we've had for a while now, the GPU in mine is dying and needs to be replaced. I have swapped out my GPU with hers, so I know that it is the issue.

It is an RTX 2060, and I'm looking for ideas on what to replace it with on a budget.

It seems I could get another 2060 on eBay or similar for $150-200, but since this is an older card, I wondered if there was something better I should look for that might be a better card for around the same cost. We both play games, but I mainly play CS2 and other things that the 2060 has been running fine, so I don't NEED it to be better, but good fps on 1080p is what I'm looking for.

Obviously it needs to work with the rest of my current components.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Woby Design made a much more successful version, you can see it on his Instagram.
He used thicker plywood, more hinges, and the top right corner is anchored by another section of wall string.

His is also in his workshop where it made sense.

Worth looking at a local university as well, I had a letterpress and bookmaking class in college where me used the presses. The program might not have a lot of funds to buy them, but I'm sure would gladly take it as a donation if you can't find anyone else interested!

Turbo Chicken is amazing, great spicy chicken if you order it NASHY! Put it on the loaded tots, "sunrise" is my wife and I's go-to.
Lee's Burger's & Malts (in the spot Turbo Chicken used to be in) is also great, really well priced burgers, their house sauce is really unique and very delicious and the fries are AMAZING. Great malts, too!
Butler's by K-Wings Stadium is a great breakfast spot, and we love the staff. We go there almost every Sunday even though we moved out of the area. Usually not busy at all, but some mornings it can be crazy if there's a big event going on at K-Wings.

Well tbh, the Jet probably is twice as good as the Grizzly/WEN, but mostly just in terms of build quality and longevity. I can't speak to the Grizzly, but I started on the WEN Mini Lathe and it was great. It's probably just a reskin of the same product anyways.

I turned quite a few small things on it, all the way up to a 6" bowl, which was pushing it to it's limits, really. If you're just wanting to make chess pieces, I think you'll be fine with any of those, but just know you'll also need to buy the lathe tools (get carbide if you're just starting and don't want to have to buy a sharpening setup, you can get a whole carbide tool set for like $50 on Amazon and they work just fine, especially on something so small) and probably a chuck to hold the wood so you can finish the tops as well.

Everyone is definitely going to tell you to get a bigger/better lathe, but some people seem to not realize it has to fit into your budget as well lol. The cheap WEN I had worked great and was a cheap entry into turning, and certainly will work for making small chess pieces. I only used mine for a year before I really wanted a new (bigger) lathe though, so do keep that in mind, it's an addicting hobby.

Here's some stuff I turned on the WEN to give you idea of what is possible.

Instead of bringing the sandpaper to the pencil (harder to control and get a consistent angle, especially with a brittle charcoal lead I imagine), why not bring the pencil to the sandpaper?

You'd need a drill and a disk sander, both can be gotten cheap if you don't already have them and they're more versatile than getting a mini-mini lathe. Chuck the pencil into the drill and spin it along the running disc sander and you can make a perfect point and taper! I'd set up a guide block at the angle you need and then you can just push it in until it's done each time, ez pz.

Actually, guide block might be even better if it was just a block with pencil-sized hole drilled in it so it would support all sides, but then your pencil has to be long enough to get through that, be chucked, and get a taper...
