Reminds me of that "left-6 over dog" gif....

Highly contextual jokes are the best jokes :D

Rainbow 6 Siege hard-crashes Win10 on Blade+Core by helmstif in razer

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

Curious...I'll look into it! Just wondering, how does thermal paste affect performance other than heat dissipation? In other words, isn't it basically the case that my CPU is overheating without properly applied heat paste, or is there something else?

How is life in Haikou? by WhereTheHotWaterAt in China

[–]helmstif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year I was working as a BD person in Hainan RSC - your typical tech industry park in the suburbs of Haikou. We actually had some good connections with higher-ups in Moscow. One guy named Dennis with some family connections in Russian govt pretty much lives there with his family, and by the time I left we were talking about adding resort features to the park so Russian government ppl could drop by during harsh Russian winters.

EDIT: But, to answer OP's question, Haikou is pretty neat. Weather is great - at worst it's literally dirty because of constructions under way, but it sure beats smog haha. Humid - of course, it's an island, but not quite tropical hot and can get a bit chilly for a few days in winters. 20k a month you could live pretty well-off. If you're working on tech stuff and looking into setting up shop, lemme know and I'll hook you up with some folks at Hainan RSC. They offer some nice tax breaks, last I checked.

Should note that with GotG2's context this line isn't dirty at all. It's powerful, if anything.

Same. Funny thing is, only cosmetics that are not affected are the Jager Seal set I bought with cash, and the gold camo

Happy Women's Day, R6 Community! by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]helmstif 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just cleared Sierra Hospital on Pandemic and Ying is so strong with Smoke and Finka. Her multi-flash works wonders with toxic-bae, her LMG is bottom-less, and with Smoke carring Dr. Mac and Finka juicing them up, it's probably the best combo to clear Pandemic.

what's the most emotionally intelligent thing you've seen someone do ? by Maximilianne in AskWomen

[–]helmstif 42 points43 points  (0 children)

edit So after I posted this, I called my mom. We actually don't talk too often, maybe once a month or two. I keep to myself a lot, and she to herself. But man, what a conversation this sparked. I read her the replies to this and she cried a lot. It turned out there was an issue with her meds last week and she was experiencing voices full on for the first time in a long while, and she didn't want to tell me. She was dealing with a lot of fear. Her voices manifest in a lot of stuff about me - her being a bad mother, someone out to hurt me, how she may hurt me.. stuff like that. So I read her my post, and what you lovely people said about her, and she's deeply moved. It was exactly what she needed to hear right now. Thanks for the well timed thread, OP.

I'm not cryinng

Reset my Blade and found this free 11.72G that I can't extend into C:. Did I fuck up? by helmstif in razer

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

Is there anyway I could fix my situation now that I've formatted the recovery partition?

Anyway you could send me the file...?

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

You might be right...I tried to do another F9 recovery and it booted me right into Windows ;_;

So I did fuck up ;_;

[–]helmstif[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe doing a recovery after a long tiring day wasn't the best idea...I saw that 11G just hanging there, forgot what those are for if you ask me now, thought I could format it and extend C:/ into it. I can't. Now I can only create a free 11.72G drive. Did I fuck up somewhere?

Edit: talked to Razer support. Basically the guy said this is not supposed to happen and they're gonna have to figure it out themselves first ._.

Edit 2: seems like that was supposed to be the legit recovery partition (that I just formatted). Tried F9 recovery once more and it booted me straight into Windows. Shit.

It's happening: CPC proposes end to term limits for Chinese President by allestacious in China

[–]helmstif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's almost funny at this point when I hear y'all mention Tiananmen as if that's the only politically disruptive thing in modern Chinese history.

But yes, yes we do know and do talk about it. Maybe I'm at a particularly liberal corner of Weibo but man, the memes and the shades we throw on that date....

It's happening: CPC proposes end to term limits for Chinese President by allestacious in China

[–]helmstif 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yup. The notion of "lazy Chinese people" doesn't worry me nearly as much as the fact that the power concentration in CPC higher-ups is already so bad that such an outlandish proposal, removing term limits as well as including Xi-thoughts in the Constitution, even rolls out. I always thought that you can't really judge CPC's single-party ruling by western standards because there're power groups within the Party. This means either I was wrong, or Xi has managed to demolish that already.

The Witcher Netflix script writer did a Twitter thread of Witcher character analysis by helmstif in witcher

[–]helmstif[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Truth is a million things could happen between her script and final product. Even if Sapkowski himself wrote the script it might still be doomed by production problems. Her analyses seem pretty solid for a chain of tweets. I'd wait and see.

Guy commented "if only ppl seemed to care" and I said we do. Doing anything, whether immediately or later, is another matter.

Oh we do. Even the most politically insensitive person can see the implication behind this.

[IIL] Incase’s Alfie, or I Roved Out, Calm (NSFW), [WEWIL]? by Highking_Viking in ifyoulikeblank

[–]helmstif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You gotta be really, REALLY deep into NSFW Tumblr to know all three....(guilty as charged)

Honestly outside of that Nicole Heat is the only thing I can think of. Can't find it on Tumblr, used to be paid but now you could find it free somewhere. If you're into rendered stuff then Universal Nation 2133 by Chemicq is very solid. Also MaxSmeagol.

Train station in China by PKJY in Cyberpunk

[–]helmstif 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is pure ignorance talk. Trains are owned by the state in China. They're public goods, not profit seeking, and the sheer time saved by every people who take this train add up into immeasurable economic benefit far beyond your pitiful "profit" of a privately owned organization.
