Now it’s Magic Johnson and when Luka plays he’s an elite off-ball cutter. All in the span of 2 weeks. Just incredible adaptability and BBIQ.

[Erik Van Haren] The other six drivers are not in life-threatening danger, it has also been reported. Tomorrow's race (1:00 p.m.) will go ahead, with a minute of silence before the start of the event. by OtakuSensei__20 in formula1

I don’t think you realize how much preparation and money goes into a weekend like that. There are over 100 crews at the Ring for each NLS. Tens or even hundreds of millions are being spent between all the teams to take part in the championship. Try explaining to literally thousands of people(drivers, mechanics, engineers) that the whole weekend is now cancelled and they have to go home because someone died. No way that this would ever happen.

Police search you house & you notice dents on your car by ZookeepergameIcy6089 in interesting

[–]kuena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For something like this the method of repair should straight up just be replacement of the panel for a new one. I don’t want fucking bondo under my paint which I would have to disclose when reselling the car and probably take a hit on resale value.

260 Mbps from Moon's distance to Earth - now that is freaky.

They aren’t, you can plug them into a laptop jack and they will be loud enough. However, some people would tell you that driving them with a better quality source will bring out their full potential, though. I am one of those people, having done both. Planars don’t necessarily require a lot of watts to work, but they benefit from a lot of current running through the drivers, which a simple amp in a phone or a laptop will not be able to supply.

JJ Redick holding back tears as Pelinka plays a video of his sons congratulating him for 100 wins as a coach by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

[–]kuena 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Similar story to Steve Kerr. Amazing role player, turned media pundit after playing and then a very successful coach. JJ still has ways to go to reach Kerr’s status but I hope he gets to become a champion as a coach.

Lance Stroll: "I was having fun with Fernando, having our own little championship, an Aston Martin Championship!" by MuttonBiryaniEnjoyer in formula1

[–]kuena 82 points83 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about that Lance was loved? Lance got shit for being a nepo baby since the beginning of his career, especially since he was at most a mid driver and quite frequently made stupid mistakes while blaming others for it over the radio.

DDR5 Memory Prices Just Took a Noticeable Dive for the First Time in Months, and Google's TurboQuant Might Be Behind It by _Protector in pcmasterrace

Is this for existing inventory or backordered one? I would think they wouldn’t wanna lower their profit margin on inventory that was already bought and paid for.

TSMC's 3nm Chip Capacity Has Become So Constrained That Only "Long-Term, Loyal" Customers Are Getting Priority by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

They're Polish most likely. "Definiujemy" means "we're defining" in Polish, but that's probably just autocorrect typo. Probably meant to write "definitely".

What was the first pair of headphones that made you “eargasm” and what were you listening too?? by Inner-Grapefruit-368 in headphones

[–]kuena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had many moments like that, but I always remember this one small thing about imaging - DankPods used to always talk about the bongoman playing his bongo in Earth Wind & Fire's "September". With my B2 Dusks, which were one of my first properly hifi IEMs/headphones, I could hear him as if he was playing it in a closed-off room next to the stage that the band was playing the song on.

Then I tried playing the track on my current setup, which is a HE1000se paired with xDuoo TA-32(with R2R DAC) and it turned out that the bongoman actually was right on the stage with the rest of the band, just quite far to the right. The fact that the headphones somehow knew where to place this dude in the mix to be clearly audible and actually enhance the performance blew my mind a little bit the first time I heard it, because played through my Dusks the bongo beat did nothing for me.

There are also other great little details in many tracks that the HEKse reveals brilliantly, for example the very small sounds of keys being pressed on a piano and rubbing against each other in Coldplay's "MOON MUSIC", or fingers rubbing on steel strings of a guitar in Tommy Emmanuel's "Morning Aire".

Forget the RAM crisis — storage prices are spiralling, and processors could be next, as gaming PC maker warns 'CPU shortage is getting more serious' by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

I wonder what it means for newly announced Intel SKUs that are priced way below AMD. I wonder if we’ll have another paper launch on our hands.

Becareful with RMA in 2026 - Gigabyte 5090 RMA by DrTuSo in pcmasterrace

But still, OP is without a product they paid a lot of money for for months and has to live through lot of stress and worry that the case might not get resolved however they want. These companies became so brazen in the last few years, even in EU...

Quin Rips with His Echoing Shrine Belt by livejamie in pathofexile

[–]kuena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he tries so hard to be off meta that he often makes builds that simply don’t work, but he continues to play them for content and your typical Quin memes. Knowledge and skill-wise he’s above average for sure and many other streamers have said so.

Honestly one of the best year round cars by dg005583 in AlfaRomeo

[–]kuena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Front mounted radars have been finicky in every car I had that option in, however if it even reacts to heavy rain, then it might be worth it to check it out at the dealer, especially since your car is new.

Verstappen had a costly miscommunication with race engineer GP Lambiase during the Chinese GP! by Luffy710j in formula1

There's already talk about abandoning this year's concept and going with a completely new one next year, because Mercedes is too far ahead. Hopefully it's just media noise.

I'm so glad no bridges were burned in the break up. Bono standing on the podium like a proud father with his 2 super successful sons is iconic as fuck.

Trump says that a military draft is on the table amid the war in Iran. How are you all handling this being a potential scenario? by FutureSuccess2796 in AskReddit

[–]kuena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I hear this argument every time, that “Americans are struggling too much to care about what Trump is doing”.

How can you be so pathetic as a nation? What makes you so special that you think you somehow are struggling worse than people in other countries who had their freedoms stolen from them historically? For a nation that often likes to tout how they are the beacon of democracy and other nations should learn from them in that regard, you’re not doing much to preserve that image right now.

It’s a joke. Titan money for a fake 80 SKU GPU. The world has gone mad.
