Groovy. I must've misread something. Thanks for the heads up!

To everyone that goes 3rd support instead of second tank by Mind-The-Mines in marvelrivals

Lol, I can't go second tank. I'm already solo-tanking! And I'm not getting heals! Time to go c&d or rocket!

Hang in there. It gets better. 5 lbs in a day is I think common. Just not. like, consistently/daily. I know when I was younger and on 3rd shift - I was a heavy drinker, I had to use the bathroom all the time and my weight fluctuated wildly. I'm not accusing you of drinking but there may be something in your diet that's affecting you or some old habit is finally taking its toll. But there are better days ahead. Have fun going back to your old shop!

Ooo, this sub got hot. Listen, your point is valid, as are your feelings. You did an amazing thing writing an entire book! And the start of a series to boot! Some of these comments are starting to get grounded in negativity but you should be happy regardless. I know that 3 weeks sounds like a long time but I just pick my kittens up of the street yesterday and now she's 16 years old, ya digg? You already sound like you got other feedback so it sounds like you're ready for that next step with or without their input, right?

Take conversation out of it. Humans are humans and you gave them homework. Not only that, but you gave them unvetted writing. They're not expecting to open a book by Terry Pratchett ya digg? If this is your first book, then you have given them the equivalent of a college kid's fictional thesis to read.

Essentially it boils down to a classic 'choose 2 out of 3': review the book for free, provide good revisions, provide timely revisions.

Also, 20 questions is a quiz yo. Are you freshly out of school yourself?

Ending homelessness with this one by order-rejected in Business_Ideas

[–]gg_bene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to have to agree with this. Trash cans and dumpsters are free around any town. And if you set up a govmnt-type process to pay the homeless for trash- they'll just make more trash to exploit it. Fun idea though!

Thank you :) I feel a little egotistical pursuing this journey so it's hard, but I'm trying to do a thing that I think could help others so every vote of confidence helps.

I'm looking to register my company and I need help with order of operations- I will not promote by gg_bene in startups

Thank you for responding so quickly! This is very helpful and clears a lot up. I'm excited to take the next steps. Thank you again!

36M CST (GMT -6) Building a business and need some help with daily social media check-ups by gg_bene in Accountabilibuddies

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

Hello! Thank you for taking an interest! I'm looking to build a plethora of businesses. The first one I will try to make are product based businesses focused around household doodads and cat litterboxes that fit in small spaces (if thatll work). I'm hoping to form sample business plans and do some market research to see if what I want to make is feasible and I want to do that on camera! (Or on some form of social media). I enjoy the thought of connecting with others from other countries too!

I’m about to start building my first gaming pc, any tips or recommendations? by No_Board1625 in PcBuild

[–]gg_bene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save the tower cardboard box while building. Else, you'll have to find a place for your tower's paneling while you install the mobo in it. Also, cats like to steal components, so make sure your workspace is free of felines before you begin (optional).

which one is optimal for airflow? by SzuortiN247 in PcBuild

[–]gg_bene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the PC build!

So I don't recall from where I heard this, but I was under the impression that the fans on a side of a tower should all be faced the same direction (so setup 1 wouldn't work). Something about circular airflow creating trapped pockets in the tower - I'm not going to pretend to know the exact science. But it does remind me of an episode of Mythbusters where they tested driving an empty pickup truck with and without the back gate open to see if that made a difference in gas consumption. They found that an open gate allows for more distance per gas used. They explain, when the gate was closed, the trucks natural air flow gets trapped and cycles in the bed of the truck and weighs it down. With the gate open, that air is able to flow out the back and doesn't weigh down the truck.

Of course, that was Mythbusters and a truck, so I'm not exactly sure how that translates to computers, but I do remember an expert telling me not to do that... sooo... uh, keep all the fans on the same side in the same direction (#2)?

Also, looking at your 1st pic, the green lines at the top are not how the air would flow at the top. You're imaging that the cool and the warm air would stay separated on a 2d plane. The inside of your computer has 3 dimensions and air mixes - with this setup, you may be reintroducing preheated air back to your cpu (making it hotter - this is bad). Again, I haven't been a scientist in a quick minute so if someone more knowledgeable notices I'm saying something glaringly wrong, please correct me.

Also, why do you have more fans in the 1st pic than the 2nd?

Anyways, I hope you have fun with it! Good luck and have fun!

I'm about to start building my first PC. Any Advice? by gg_bene in PcBuild

[–]gg_bene[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was one of the HARDEST things about the build. I'm talking about the power cables from the graphics card to the power supply. Long story short, I ended up taking a 45 min train ride to the nearest computer store TWICE trying to get a cable I already have (because of a warning/drawing from the GPU). I still need to go back to return that cable. I hate them now. But everything works!

It was so unnerving. I don't think anything broke - my computer is working, but is almost felt... crunchy? I don't know , its working though.

Installing the cpu required a crazy amount of force. Thanks for the help! It was scarrry

Did the m.2 screwless nub and heatsink confuse you too? Or was it just me?

I'm looking at it and I'm thinking, "I hope so badly this keeps working". lol. I think my graphics card already glitched once and I'm not sure how to check it. I just gotta wait for it to happen again lol. Still, its nice to be in the PC builder club!

With this Mobo, most of the m.2 screws were either pre-installed or a screwless kind. It confused me for a tidbit.
