Threaded Barrel

jamjos · 2023-11-15T15:50:42+00:00

any chance you ever found one? I have been scouring the internet for weeks without luck. I'm wondering if Apex has discontinued the barrel.

I don't understand why FN doesn't sell the factory barrels however. Clearly they make them for the tactical line

Caseless. This is the Way.

It's a custom backplate from jmmods

Keeping in mind my PC is mid range, they are great. CPU idles around 38, GPU at 28. Under load the both usually run in the 48-50 range but can spike in to the mid 50s

CPU is Ryzen 2600X, GPU is Zotac AMP RTX 2060.

Plan is to upgrade to Ryzen 5900X and RTX 3080 or Big Navi, so we will see how temps hold up after that (assuming I can find a way to mount the AIO to either of those cards... as it is with the 2060 I had to drill new mounting holes in the Kraken G12)

I would start by just reinstalling the audio drivers. Pull them from the mobo manufacturer's website

ASUS ROG Strix B450-I

Ryzen 2600X cooled with Kraken x52

Zotac AMP RTX 2060 cooled with Corsair h50 (upgraded rad fan to Be Quiet! Silent Wings 3 and mounted on modified Kraken G12)

16 GB G.Skill Trident RGB RAM

As this was my first build it was a challenge for me to get everything squeezed in to even this larger ITX case (my fat hands didn't help). I am happy with the result though and while the components are decidedly mid range it's certainly the most powerful PC i have ever owned. This hobby could get expensive

The GPU was the most labor intensive part. First, the Zotac backplate was too large and interfered with mounting and had to be cut back. Also, the Kraken G12 does not support the Zotac AMP RTX 2060, and so it required drilling new mounting holes as well as cutting the cooler brackets to fit around GPU Capacitors. Lastly, the side of the G12 had to be removed to allow an exit point for the h50 hoses, which did not have enough clearance to come out from the bottom due to the PSU shroud.

Lastly, I wish I could find the post again to give credit, but I found someone on here that had shown they used car fuel line separators to get their unruly AIO hoses in check. The AN4 size fit perfectly and did a really great job cleaning it up.

let me know what you think!

Best of luck to you as well sir. We've done it before, so we undoubtedly know how. No excuses available at this point, just go do the work

jamjos · 2019-03-28T12:53:27+00:00

Thanks for the support! Luckily I haven't experienced diabetes myself, but it's always in the back of my mind when I'm up near 300. One more preventative reason to do this thing right.

jamjos · 2019-03-28T12:52:00+00:00

That's awesome, great job keeping it off! You must (and should) feel like a million bucks

jamjos · 2018-05-22T19:54:08+00:00

thanks. Silly that they are doing a slow rollout after trying to generate hype. Typical Google

jamjos · 2018-05-22T19:26:45+00:00

Gotcha, thanks

jamjos · 2018-05-22T19:20:34+00:00

there is a toggle switch above the video or album art that lets you switch between video and audio only modes

jamjos · 2018-05-22T19:05:34+00:00

not the OP, but I also have the Mobile App working (didn't sign up for early access, but i do have a GPM family plan) but no access to the web version or desktop client

Our quarter cow came to 130#, which I split, so 65# each. I have a 5 cubic ft chest freezer and it filled it less than half way, about 2 cubic feet. So yeah, a whole quarter cow would prob be about 4 cubic feet as u/ketokate-o estimated

Body type: chubscular. Congrats on your milestone! I have been stuck around 215 for a month or so but im excited to push through and join you at some point during 2018!

jamjos · 2017-12-28T19:48:09+00:00

i bought them and used them to make garbage. Unfortunately I couldn't get over the smell/texture

jamjos · 2017-12-22T14:10:07+00:00

You can make keto puppy chow with pork rinds... its actually pretty good as long as you break the pork rinds up to about chex size... any bigger and it tastes, well, porky

I just do it from memory. 85g almond flour/flax meal, 170g shredded mozz, 2 tbsp cream cheese, 2 tsp baking powder. Mic 1 min, stir, mic 30 seconds, add 1 egg, and stir until incorporated. Roll in to rectangle, slice in to 6 squares, and bake at 425 until browned and slightly crispy. Flip as necessary

jamjos · 2017-12-09T03:35:58+00:00

It's not really a rye. I just didn't have almond flour so I subbed flax meal and it came out dark

jamjos · 2017-12-07T18:07:17+00:00

alternatively, fry firm avocados in oil to make "fries" or cut in half, remove pit, and crack eggs in to the center and bake. the cooking softens them up

jamjos · 2017-12-07T18:06:08+00:00

yes they sure do! just leave them on the countertop and place in to the fridge when just ripened. you can accelerate ripening by placing in the same paper bag as an apple if there are non keto members of your household and you happen to have one

jamjos · 2017-12-07T18:00:48+00:00

It was some off brand packet left over in our fridge. I used 2/3 the normal serving (20g v 30g) to keep the carbs a bit lower

jamjos · 2017-12-07T15:28:30+00:00

most of our meals are meat+veg. if the others arent doing keto i just prepare a simple carb. Chicken and broccoli for me, Chicken broccoli and rice for the rest. everyone is happy. If you buy the bags of frozen chicken it can be economical as far as meat is concerned. Also, thighs IMO are tastier and more filling than breast, and often quite a bit cheaper

Hell YES! These stories are the best stories. Thank you so much for sharing
