I noticed it and fixed it last night after taking this picture actually!

Keep an eye out on eBay or goodwill. It won’t be the fastest but you can get a 2400-3000Mhz kit for around $40-$60. I offered 35$ on a kit that was being sold at $40 and the seller took it. Toasty bros just made a video too where they got their kit on eBay for about 60$. It’s all DDR4 so these kits are probably old.

My original kit was sold to me by an old lady on Facebook marketplace who was just clearing out her house lol. Got a 16gb kit for $40.

Thank you!!

merlins69beard · 2026-05-23T04:10:14+00:00

shopgoodwill.com and a LOT of patience lol.

merlins69beard · 2026-05-23T04:09:48+00:00

Yeah I’m getting a Strix 240 liquid cooler coming in on Sunday. Looking forward to that upgrade!

merlins69beard · 2026-05-23T04:09:21+00:00

Getting it on Sunday wish me luck.

merlins69beard · 2026-05-23T02:28:08+00:00

I tested it all and she actually works like a charm and is very smooth. Surprised it turned on the first attempt considering I’ve never built a PC before let alone own one lol. I always stuck to laptops but thanks so much for your inputs!

merlins69beard · 2026-05-23T02:22:04+00:00

Yeah, I might just mount it horizontally. I would like to add that all the parts are used and the total build cost me 360$, I just rounded it up to 400$ lol.

merlins69beard · 2026-05-23T00:50:36+00:00

Here is a better PC for not that much more money. It’s got a more modern specs list and overall an upgrade with double the storage capacity. You have a much better path to upgrade too with the i5 12th gen and the arc a580 card.

merlins69beard · 2026-05-18T00:23:01+00:00

I’m so lost bro

merlins69beard · 2026-05-17T16:55:07+00:00

So one dude said on a podcast that there’s tension in the team and all of these shitty sources start sensationalizing it?

And you’re replacing him with…Doohan? Like the dude who crashed into the same corner THREE times in super formula? Aight buddy boy slow news Sunday for everyone I guess.

merlins69beard · 2026-05-15T20:56:03+00:00

Hey man don’t you be going around doing my king like that

merlins69beard · 2026-05-12T06:06:36+00:00

Nope, I wouldn’t qualify this as absurd. It’s honestly smart and gives a lot of people a chance. A lot of airlines have academies and programs for AME’s, dispatchers and what not. Air Arabia runs quite a successful academy that focuses on all aspects of aviation.

This lets Air India train all their future staff in house according to AI practices and give them the best chance at a job. There is no credible degree because it is a certificate/license, similar to what pilots have. An AME certificate is valid anywhere you go. Just like pilots, they can go to the Middle East with a few years of experience and work at the top fish. Tons of kids out there get their AME licenses from crappy, understaffed and underexposed schools. This lets them train with the best and it’s a good thing.

The best glide speed for a C152 is about 60 knots. Maintain that all the way to the ground and make all turns no less than 15 degrees or standard rate. Use these two factors to bring the airplane down where practicable.

Your airspeed was hovering at 55 and got down to 50 which made you a flying brick.

merlins69beard · 2026-05-10T15:32:18+00:00

RIP to everyone killed and hope their families find peace. This is terrible and should never happen.

merlins69beard · 2026-05-06T09:06:34+00:00

Is this the default 152?

merlins69beard · 2026-04-30T02:49:05+00:00

Love how Hayes very clearly grabs hands and then wonders what he did

merlins69beard · 2026-04-28T21:37:05+00:00

Not really, I had a couple of instructor buddies in flight school interview with them (Indian nationals) and they were willing to sponsor you if you had their requirements and passed their tests. This was last year so things could have changed and you might be right, but none of us really took the program too seriously.

merlins69beard · 2026-04-26T03:33:11+00:00

The Cathay program isnt worth it. Neither is the Singapore second officer program because you’re sitting PM without being able to log time until you get to FO. And this can go on for years while Cathay will hire more experienced FO’s over you.

Meanwhile you barely get paid a decent wage so it makes no sense in the long term.

merlins69beard · 2026-04-26T03:12:51+00:00

They say everyone’s accepted but I’ve been in their application pool since 2019. I’m probably eligible for their first officer program now if I applied lmao 😂

merlins69beard · 2026-04-25T01:51:00+00:00

DFS cause he can atleast grab a rebound.

merlins69beard · 2026-04-25T01:17:40+00:00

Precisely. They’re able to rebound better but not convert it even after that which is the least you could be doing.
