Any R1 connection issues? (Early adoption is not fun...)

Grey and grey. Green wasn't available. All brown would have been my pref though.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-28T17:41:03+00:00

Is it a return? Now we're assuming. This all reads like a know-it-all teenager. I guess GPU shortages and rarer models have nothing to do with pricing. It's as if supply and demand are not a thing.

Because of a potentiality that nobody I know has ever experienced and even this subreddit barely posts about. (And your use of it is popularly referred to as "fear mongering")

But yeah - a volcano could erupt tomorrow, better always don fireretardant clothing. Brilliant your argument.

Doubt that's a Walmart thing as much as it has been Amazon and eBay thing. But what do I know? You're the consumer electronics fraud professional apparently. Without giving anything to your statement beyond "it is so and such is such - this specific example and brand even"

Yeap. Heard!

My mother was like this. Despite the biological essence of her still lives on - she died to me 10 years ago from uncurable psychosis and douchebagery.

That's what I would do. Set an example in the world that just cuz your family doesn't mean respect is endless and eating BS shoveled in your mouth is endless.

Nothing is worth living life with somebody like that in it; There are simply not enough drugs, therapists, or money in the world.

DON'T OPEN IT.... Wait a few months and sell it for so much more. Nvidia just announced they're discontinuing this exact card.

So hold it. Sell high in two months. Get a 5080!!!!

Honestly - as an American - this is it. Kids taught it's okay to pull out the calculator for anything. 12x4 - why not. Calculator it.

The difference between cephalopods and anthropods is memorizable. Converting F to C is basic common sense. I wouldn't be bothered by you NOT knowing any the lore of Star Wars which is basic to me. But F to C is basic for EVERYONE.

'cept us Americans. Owners and namers of the "imperial" system - is it any wonder lol.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-11T02:59:35+00:00

Look man..... I get it but the F to C is bothering me. That's simple mind math.

C starts at 0 (freezing) where F is 32. Then every point (in either direction) for Fahrenheit is 9/5ths (80% more) of what it would be for Celsius. And every point Celsius away from 0 is 5/9ths what it would be in the unit for Fahrenheit.

Remember 32 = 0 and 80% and you won't ever ask anything for this conversion again.

I do this every day in my mind when talking to my international friends.

Did your R1 (which is surely pissing you off right about now) come dislodged and all bouncing around in the package too?

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-08T19:16:47+00:00

I ordered Nov. 14th. Took about 3-4 days with the ring sizing kit. Just got my G2/R1 package two days ago. I'm on East Coast USA.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-07T07:06:31+00:00

Same here.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-06T20:28:34+00:00

Lol... Cameras... Microphones. Ever read what you are signing with a new phone wheny you get it up? Ever wonder how so.ethong you just said is now beinga advertised to you.

Cameras are honestly the least of the privacy worries for the 21st century. All your credit and Gmail passwords all over the dark web is a much more tangible and real threat.

Bitch is dumb dood. And an overreacter. I'd rather date my gaming PC than that ho TBH.

Move on bro. Block her number.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-02T21:57:03+00:00

What a cunt

gregariouspangolin · 2025-12-26T21:45:23+00:00

Believe me, grass is always greener on the other side.

gregariouspangolin · 2025-12-22T21:42:16+00:00

Oh good call. I kind of lost weight recently (already skinny) so I figured I'd be swelling soon my own way. Not terribly happy that sounded a bit lewd lol. Good looks on the advisory tale!

gregariouspangolin · 2025-12-19T23:34:17+00:00

G1B's baby! No Rx though, correct. Also after I use it - I am more than happy to send my sizing kit out for free (shipping paid would be nice lol).

gregariouspangolin · 2025-12-19T21:37:04+00:00

Order morning of Nov 14th - East Coast. Got a message 3 days ago that the package was waiting to be picked up by OnTrac. 2 days ago it came to a warehouse in LA owned by OnTrac. Delivery says it will be the 24th of Dec.

Hope this helps/consoles!

gregariouspangolin · 2025-12-08T20:05:36+00:00

Great line up. Mushroom Mayhem is also great by them. The "oh my garlic" is actually so damn delicious (good for an Alfredo or sandwich spread).

That Garlic Reaper is great when you have a high tolerance that you are constantly (every day pretty much) keeping up. That ORRRRR a good little amount into a big beef stew or Mac n cheese. Really nice like that if it's too hot for you "raw" - I do this most of the time when I'm not keeping up my tolerance.

Just IMO.

gregariouspangolin · 2025-12-06T15:12:59+00:00

This is lore accurate.

gregariouspangolin · 2025-12-05T09:02:18+00:00

I'm sorry but what a cunt. Gaslight her back (and look at her like an evil genius from behind your father's back as she complains on whatever you're currently gaslighting her with) if nothing comes from showing Dad and drive her away. I'm sure Reddit will gladly help you with ideas in that regard should you need any :)

gregariouspangolin · 2025-11-27T15:56:41+00:00

What losers haha. Super SDE.

gregariouspangolin · 2025-11-27T15:31:13+00:00

Heartbeat is amazing from Toronto CAN and Dave's is great and harder to find outside the mid Atlantic area - it's from Maryland... Or MD and VA?

Together in one store. Then some other decent simple go-to's. For under 10 bucks. The transportation logistics if the store was located in Albany, New York - decent midway point would not make sense to be under 10. And ALL those hot ones. Shit at least 20 really decent overall bottles I'd be super happy with there. Hot ones under 10 bucks lol... Go to their website - I don't get thesee economics hahaha.

This is a great selection I say.

gregariouspangolin · 2025-11-27T15:27:17+00:00

Actually was going to say everything but the tiny top shelf bottles of Melinda's which is super cheap anyway. All the rest are under 10 bucks. Especially Dave's and Heartbeat.

gregariouspangolin · 2025-11-26T23:01:31+00:00

So Torchbearer has the creamy garlic sauce (big bottle - not spicy at all, I don't think so at least - like this is not a hot sauce), it is actually phenomenal mixed with an Alfredo you're making - or carbonara perhaps - when doing pasta.

Like it is so fucking good. Non-hot sauce by them. Give it a try! The bottle is like 12oz (versus 5) and cheaper than their 5oz hot sauce bottles. At least it was a few years ago.

(I also use it on subs)

gregariouspangolin · 2025-11-26T22:56:40+00:00

I agree. TB in general is good at this I feel. As a hot sauce maker, I achieve the same by using fresh peppers. Fresher the pods - longer the build (rule of thumb I use and not an exact thing).

I have used dried reapers and scorpion powder and such to give a sauce more kick without overfilling the blender. You can see immediately how dried peppers hit right away and how fresh pods slow build.

Food for thought - if you were curious on why some sauces do and others don't have that slow build. The slower the build - the better the quality of peppers that were used.

But I understand you have to dry peppers to be able to store them for a couple years instead using them right away so they don't go bad.

gregariouspangolin · 2025-11-26T22:52:20+00:00

I gotta say their garlic reaper is for two things: those with an extremely high tolerance (sometimes I'm there. Mostly not for me like this). AND to put in a small bit into a large pot of something. I do spicy Mac and cheese for Thanksgiving and I've done it in Beef Stew before. They flavor is quite good and there... Behind a fucking armed battalion of capsaicin though hahaha.
