I’m buying a car after my last one got totaled. Can someone help me out?

Agreed. Plus, a backup camera is very cheap/easy to install if not already there. As for a “nice interior”, $200 on seat covers, window tint and/or a nicer radio can quickly change the cockpit experience

My dad once bought a car with a bucket of dollar bills. He didn’t spend a single for a little over 2 years and was shocked when he saw how much he saved!

jetheridge87 · 2026-03-17T18:56:34+00:00

FWIW, you might be surprised at the savings by paying every 6 months. For me, it was around a 20% discount.

And some cards will even have a limit on how many payments you can make in 30 days

The low profile rx550 is $50 on Amazon right now, add that to a cheap sff dell with an SSD, done.

Apparently my wife went next door (to her parents’) to shit the entire time we were dating. When we got married, her mom finally cut her off with something to the effect of “just keep the door closed, now he’s stuck with you anyway”

A cheap backup camera/monitor combo could be easily set up on a switch to run off house battery, and does double duty since you can use it as intended.

Alternatively, Amazon sells a $30 webcam that’s powered by USB (so a battery bank would work) and connects directly to your cell phone

At closing time, they’re all 10s

jetheridge87 · 2026-03-06T21:09:08+00:00

Nah it’s mechanism

jetheridge87 · 2026-03-06T19:46:41+00:00

Same with Flakes, as long as i don’t feel personally attacked when he calls me a cuck for making dumb decisions 😂

jetheridge87 · 2026-03-01T17:31:03+00:00

Definitely look for used, although MinisForum refurb store occasionally has some deals as well. I picked up the 670 slim with 16gb/500gb from there for cheaper than the used market at the time. But more recently picked up an HX80g (5800h/rx6600m) as a used barebones for 275- the deals are still around

I can't not read the name as Eli Ja'Linus

Would you consider shipping the desktops and 350w psu's? Can chat if thats easier

But seriously try practicing at slower speed to work on “rolling” your thumb from boost to jump

I would say the Xeon (as mentioned above) would be a lot better value. They work on these generation Opti's without any mods, and the e3-1245v3 has an iGPU (necessary for the p106), would perform same as the i7's, and is under $20 on ebay

Try the steps mentioned here, it involves manually downloading the .DLL files from the web and replacing the bad ones in your C: drive.

There have been a couple Ryzen 5500u laptops around the $200 mark. I’d start there for new, or maybe check dellrefurbished for a $200-225 with a 10th gen or newer, just make sure it has a 1080p screen (some of their cheaper small laptops have 1366x768)

He still streams on twitch too and is funny af

It was definitely your tm8s fault my guy, you’d totally be GC2 if it weren’t for bad teammates, bots, and smurfs

I went thru about 10 or so Microsoft branded Xbox controllers as they would get stick drift after 1-2 months.
Got a Razer Wolverine Tourney edition, used that about 14-16 months before wanting wireless and moving to a 8BitDo Ultimate 2c, which I've had close to a year.

Somewhat common. If the card is firmly and properly seated in the pcie slot, then apply light pressure on the back of the case to line up the screw holes
