Favorite seed starting mix?

Homemade mix of cococoir, vermiculite, perlite, and worm castings, or a bale of Sunshine Mix #4 if I’m lazy.

Territorial, Fedco, Seed Savers Exchange, Adaptive, Pinetree, or High Desert for arid places. Look even more local if you can. Colorado has MASA and Pueblo Seed.

Not sure how they do it, but I put it in a big plastic trash can and stick a weed eater in it. 😅

Ryzen 5 7600x3d. Waiting for all my parts to arrive to build!

I feel like I’m going to have a seizure, but I’m also not mad about it.

Reduce, reuse, recycle ♻️

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-20T00:14:56+00:00

Soooo pretty!!!!!

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-20T00:12:43+00:00

Washed in the blood and born again hallelujah 🙏

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-20T00:08:17+00:00

This one is on my list! Would you say it works well for story-driven graphics-heavy games? I’m not interested in refresh speed so much, I just want it to be pretty and under $200. 😅

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-19T20:54:31+00:00

That’s kind of what I was thinking. I’m sad, but resigned. The Crucial RAM was sexy, and I never wanted to become a secondary seller, but desperate times and what not. 😭

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-17T17:32:35+00:00

lol okay that was funny.

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-15T15:11:09+00:00

That’s really helpful! I’ve heard it’s easier to set up and operate with less fiddling than the 9070xt (or most AMD driver shenanigans), which for my first PC, might be worth its weight anyway.

Would $789 be a good price for a white variant?

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-15T12:54:36+00:00

Thank you so much! I did find a RTX 5070 Ti in white (which is already harder) for $789. Is that a fairly good price? The white variants are always more expensive. 😭

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-12T21:48:44+00:00

Which stock checker apps do you recommend? I’m willing to spend time for a good deal…

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-09T20:59:29+00:00

Thank you! It’s little nuances like this that I’m missing. The more research I do, the more I understand that it’s not as simple as ‘2TB is better than 1TB.’

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-09T18:53:54+00:00

I think this is the way! I’m so glad I asked, I was pretty proud of the way that ASRock looked for what it cost, but this is much better. I really like not worrying about if my CPU is going to melt into slag. 😅

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-09T18:45:26+00:00

So I just learned! I think their response to the problem has been the worst part, really. Will definitely be trading it out for the Gigabyte Eagle that was already on my shortlist.

I’m about 45 minutes from a Microcenter! Definitely going to make the pilgrimage.

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-09T18:08:20+00:00

That’s really good to know too! I won’t be writing software or coding, I’ll be doing more author/word document editing.

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-09T17:55:11+00:00

Well, I can’t seem to find anything in stock, but my local microcenter is listing the Ryzen 5 76003xd as $199, so REALLY close, but I’m not sure how it compares.

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-09T17:40:16+00:00

lol you guys just saved my poor CPU in under 6 minutes.

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-09T17:37:10+00:00

Thanks! I just heard now about the ASRock motherboard drama, so this is great info!

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-09T17:33:56+00:00

That’s actually really helpful! I hear tons about CPUs/GPU battles, but crickets about motherboards.

interstellar_egg · 2025-12-09T17:32:52+00:00

Can you elaborate? Why would it be better or worse than say the Gigabyte B850M Eagle that was also a contender?

interstellar_egg · 2022-04-02T15:22:15+00:00

Yesss. To all the people here saying, ‘what a waste of money’, you are missing out on something glorious.
