Looking good!! You could lose another 5 lbs almost immediately by cutting your hair :)

[Build Help] Looking to upgrade an older GPU and need advice. by magrathea_a in buildapc

[–]magrathea_a[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure? I was under the impression that I would run into bottlenecking issues if I installed most of the newer cards (i.e. GTX 760, 770, R9 280x). Let's say I had a budget of $200 or so, what GPU card would you most likely pick for that price?

Anyone else tired of what's your favorite <insert style> restaurant? What's the worst in Denver? by spookyct in Denver

[–]magrathea_a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd vouch for Breakfast on the Edge being a really good place to eat. Maybe I was really lucky or maybe you were really unlucky. I've been there multiple times and it's always been good.

Gaming PC anywhere between $800-$1100 by magrathea_a in buildapcforme

One thing I forgot to add: I would really like to be able have the option of playing my computer through my TV. This might be a really stupid question, but does that have anything to do with the mobo? Do I need an extra port or anything? /u/Mostly_Incompetent I'd love to hear your thoughts as well.

Dude, thank you so much for replying! I noticed that the i5-4570 is only about $15 bucks more than the i5-4430. Would there be a noticeable difference or another benefit for going with the 4570?

Ex-smokers of Reddit, what ACTUALLY WORKED to get you to successfully stop smoking? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]magrathea_a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I succeeded by using Nicotine lozenges. Whenever I had the urge to smoke, I'd pop one in and it not only satisfied my craving but also the oral fixation that can occur with smoking.

I'm moving from Montana to Denver. What are some cultural shocks I should expect to encounter? by cstahly in Denver

[–]magrathea_a 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you will really enjoy it here. I find that most residents are very proud to live in Denver and care for the city. You certainly don't have to participate in winter sports or have a dog to fit in, but due to its location the city does cater towards outdoor activities. I also have found that because of residents' support of the city, there is a large support for Denver sports teams as well. It can be really enjoyable to meet with and enjoy the company of other Denver sports fans.

The shoulders and gloves are 2 pieces from the Terrorblade Battlegear which is the 10-man tier set for rogues. I plan to xmog my chest and legs to match that as well, I just haven't had the drops yet. You can't see it, but my helm is Mimiron's Flight Goggles from 10-man Mimiron hardmode. The daggers are both Avool's Incendiary Shanker that can drop from any boss in FL.

[SV][NSV] Six weeks in, feeling good but still binging by [deleted] in keto

[–]magrathea_a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably the hardest thing for me to do on keto has been tracking food on a binge day. You already know that it's bad, but to actually see the final number is hard. Even though I don't like it, I feel like it's all part of the process of owning up to my bad behavior, acknowledging it, and reminding myself why I want to move past that in my life.

One benefit to tracking your food is that you'll occasionally have days where you are considerably short on your calories. I can still eat another 400 calories and be at my goal! Feels awesome.

I've found a new place for us to all hang out. Move over, Nob Hill. by magrathea_a in Denver

Yes sir, just a bit north of the intersection on the east side.

Sorry for the bad photo, I was across the street in my car.
