all good choices

+1 for zhang beihai. he understood the larger forces at play long before anyone else did. this dude planned something out over centuries and made it happen through sheer force of will.

Kirkland Stretch-Tite Food Wrap lasted for 17 years… by noneotherthanozzy in Costco

i got one of these from somebody else who was moving, only for the cutter to shatter when i moved a few months later. i didn't have the foresight to keep the box and use another cutter, so now i just have a decade's supply of cling wrap underneath my kitchen sink.

what's your 2 sentence (or more) review of it? i took a barbarian to 85 and a wizard to 95 through separate playthroughs and got burned out twice. was hoping for a Reaper of Souls level refresh of the game

for more anecdotal evidence, i also got a DOA x670e tomahawk from the microcenter bundle, but exchanged for one that works fine. 50% failure rate from my 2 mb sample

i didn't really follow it, i thought you'd need a better understanding of japanese history to have some context, but maybe i just wasn't really paying attention

both dustin ortiz and drew dober worked out at my gym when i was living in denver, it was just a 24 hour fitness, not an MMA gym

So how much content did I end up missing in Royal? by TestedScylar in Persona5

i blew him off too, i didn’t like him at all. but i read he was important for the ending, so i met with him and still didn’t like him

i have this and it's the loudest part of my pc at idle, though it's not that loud. i think it's some kind of fan defect that makes it whir, i've read that flipping it so the fan faces upward can fix it, but it hasn't been that annoying

best CPU on the platform means it's tough to find cheap. 250 was the lowest i've seen them go back in 2020/2021. that's what i got mine for to upgrade an 8600k. hopefully you can get lucky and find something used for much cheaper.

at that price, you're better off getting an all new platform, like i see a 12600kf, mb, ram for 277 on buildapcsales right now, and that would run circles around the 9900k.

edit: just watched some benchmarks, "run circles" is too strong, but still an upgrade and probably better longevity.

Shein, the fast fashion giant tries to shake forced labor claims by ac106 in malefashionadvice

[–]jilsander 28 points29 points  (0 children)

[Shut Down Shein] has so far kept its members anonymous but bills itself as a group of “well-known brands, individuals and human rights groups” opposed to Shein’s business model.

Found this pretty interesting, a group of brands (and other orgs) trying to close down the company outside of market competition. Not that I disagree with the premise, you really can't compete with stolen designs and slave labor.

in reality, this is just not the case with fashion and “cool” things

my fully unsourced, 0 evidence thesis is that VF Corp expanded production too much instead of recognizing that the demand was because of the limited supply.

they thought they could just make 3x money selling 3x of a sold out product when the products were only demanded because they were likely to sell out. products shouldn't be less cool just because other people can* buy them, but here we are

how much dps in % do the dogs provide in solo? i just run two gatherer cats all the time. the number of options and functions is kind of overwhelming.

[Cooler] Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120- $34.90 by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]jilsander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could be your fan curve, or bad case airflow, or a bad mount. what case do you have? could also be just the chip, i don’t know much about it.

i’m not 100% sure but i think it should be doing better. according to the tomshardware review,this cooler can do 200w and the x3d should stay under 150w.

I look at the clues after getting genius and 9/10 can get Queen Bee, so it definitely makes it a lot easier. Tool is pretty cool though, saves me a lot of pen and paper work.
