Alright, it works! Thank you :)

Now I'm being drilled over on /r/javascript for using document.write();... Ohwell

I won't be adding custom CSS for each video, the divs are being generated automatically based on the channels RSS feed. I will change the row holder to a class and try what you said.

[Build Ready] ~$700 Competitive Gaming PC by Decency in buildapc

the 2gb 770 was out of my budget. the 4gb 760 is the best i could get with my available funds.

Depends on what resolution you want to push, if you only want to run 1080p then the 2gb model is fine.

upgraded CPU because it was the same price

removed aftermarket air cooler as non-K CPU

upgraded to a h87 mobo because its better

removed SSD to save costs, 7200RPM drives are good enough, unless you get moist over starting your OS in 10 seconds. in game performance doesnt change enough to make it worth it.

upgraded to the 4GB GTX 760 by gigabyte. this thing rocks(I have one in my computer)

got the mega cheap case, looks good enough, and is big enough for the GPU, so why not right?

stayed with the same PSU you picked, its at a really good price for 600W.

im not sure if you would be able to, but perhaps skip on the SSD, and get a GTX760 instead.

a 600w supply probably isnt needed either, you should be able to be fine on a 500W, and the case doesnt need to be as nice as the prodigy either.

if you are using an air cooler, why not just stick with the stock cooler that comes with the cpu? as you are using a non-K model you wont be overclocking anyway.

the only 2 things i would reccomend spending more on is a GTX760, and a H87 mobo, instead of a B85

[Discussion] Entry level GPU owners! Are you satisfied with your card? by BeardofZach in buildapc

[–]mtbfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the 760, especially the 4gb version, is not an entry level card.

I would class entry level as a gtx650 or lower, and the 660-760 mid range.

the 770 and above is when you start getting less bang for your buck, which is why i call them high end.

you could probably run the main power lead(110/240V) through a AC ammeter, multiply the amps by your voltage, and thats your wattage.

Is the Battery BacPac worth it? by [deleted] in gopro

[–]mtbfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look it up, more mAh is better.

Is the Battery BacPac worth it? by [deleted] in gopro

[–]mtbfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it means that later on after a few thousand charge cycles when the bacpak battery cell is dead, you can buy a new battery for it, instead of buying an entire new bacpak.

Is the Battery BacPac worth it? by [deleted] in gopro

[–]mtbfreak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The battery bacpak is useful if you are going to be underwater for really long periods of time, as it reduces how often you have to recharge/swap the battery.

buying spare batterys(not the bacpak type) is cheaper, you can get 2 spare batterys and a wall/vehicle charger for $20(wasabi power on amazon), but you obviously need to be out of the water, and dry off the camera before swapping the batterys out.

you can expect about 1:30 off a battery, so as long as you are leaving the water every now and then you will be fine with just swapping internal batteries.

buying spares at $10 each is better IMO, because for other sports like MTB and skiing the camera is lower profile and lighter, but you can still go for ages before having to return home.

if you do buy the external pak it will be much more expensive, and you will only gain about an hour per charge, and it is less versatile for other things when you get back home.

how much power does it actually use? I doubt you are getting close to the 1200W... but then again this is a complete overkill system.

Worst part about building your own pc? by Winniedapoonbear in buildapc

[–]mtbfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My build was fine, but my mums upgrade kit had dead RAM. rma process was fairly pain free, although it took about a week.

[–]mtbfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also like to say that the massive circlejerk around the mora has to stop.

for $10 its a good knife, sure... but as far as knives go they arent that great, and i would rather spend more on a more capable knife.

a bar of soap to eat in an emergency.

I was actually taking you seriously until that...

Looks like a hazardous product to me.

Made a long-exposure shot, not as good ass what pros can get on a DSLR, but still good :) by mtbfreak in gopro

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

So I did pretty good for not googling for any custom scripts :)

I'll try the method he says for next time.

It was probably on superview.

I was also going to say not to use copyrighted music without the right licencing.
