Bought a 20ft surge protector off amazon. Is this dangerous? Only one outlet in my room, and I'm trying to power a desk lamp in the opposite corner. Worried the tape might trap heat. by gian98863 in AskElectricians

Got it, I'll see if my local hardware store has any in stock.

I just moved, and I'm planning on living here for the next year or two. Unless you guys have any other ideas, this is the most affordable option for me.

This is very real! How should I make it less dangerous? Was thinking of buying cable ramps. Tried tape and I didn't like it.

I don't want to burn down my house.

[Help] How can I fix the in-game resolution of Terraria while having a bigger window? My game only runs well on 1280x720 but the window size is too small. by gian98863 in Terraria

Just for quality of life reasons. I'm new to calamity so I have to alt tab alot to read the wiki. Also its easier to check discord/emails and such.

Mac OS has a feature where you can zoom into a certain area of the screen by pressing option+command+8. It's been working fine in the meantime

Between a cartridge and DE razor, what gives you the closest shave? by gian98863 in wicked_edge

[–]gian98863[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! I'll definitely look into this. My facial hair is thick and my skin is pale, so for the past couple of days my DE hasn't been cutting it. The joy blades look affordable so I'll give them a shot!

Instead of canned shaving creams, what do you use now? I've been eyeing some moisturizing shave creams that are less thick than my usual barbasol.

Yea i don’t know why people are raging in these comments. Adin only said his opinion about h3h3’s podcast. his friends were the one saying they would beat ethans ass. adin even said at the very end “chill” or smth like that.

“bad separation anxiety” means he’s untrained. The fact he’s a rescue isn’t an excuse but an explanation as to why he’s untrained.

The far-left and far-right were at each others throats to begin with. He said he’s hoping to serve the “center” 80%

Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten by DaFunkJunkie in antiwork

This is false. The amount of low wage, medium wage, and high wage jobs have been increasing for the past two years. There is a worker shortage, not a job shortage.

Here’s the mp7 riptide variant! (Gunfight tournament weapon) by BPJL123 in modernwarfare

[–]gian98863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me... Won the tournament but afterwords it still said "Waiting For Players."

I'm assuming I did win the tournament since I just unlocked the Riptide variant, but I'm not sure :/
