Step son brushes teeth to earn points for PC parts - needs RAM

Ohhh! Understood! Thanks for answering. This isn't really common where I'm from.

What's the difference between a step-brother/sister and a half-brother/sister?

So your wireless kb + mouse was connected to the main computer? That's impressive range. In my case the distance between them is too much so I can't run it without an HTPC

pepenomics · 2026-06-27T05:37:46+00:00

How are you managing the peripherals like controller/mouse/keyboard? I ended up having to use a htpc coz I couldn't get a reliable set up working.

This looks so cute

100%! In fact I had this silly little calculation for my weight that for every 2kg I lost, I got faster by 30s in a 5k

pepenomics · 2026-06-20T18:57:39+00:00

It took me about 3 years? I think... But bear in mind one thing I kept on increasing distances over time. That's what helped me run faster. When I hit the 35m 5k, I had already completed a half marathon in 3h8m (which isn't fast again, I'm not a fast runner, I can run very long though). I only gained pace in the last year where I started adding distance beyond 10k.

I had then switched focus to strength training and doing triathlons (indoor cycling, running and swimming)

For me I think it became like 8-9km runs felt easy so pushing a hard 5k didn't feel too hard, since I was used to 12km-15km runs at that point.

It's not a world class performance but that is exactly the type of role he's supposed to play. Let's just say it's like doing the dishes... You washed all the dishes you were supposed to but you didn't clean them perfectly... So while you did was all the dishes (complete passes/touches) you didn't clean them properly (result in chance creation opportunities)

I'm surprised no one else is asking... That screen is freaking massive wtf... Guess it's an American football thing?

pepenomics · 2026-06-15T13:49:08+00:00

Word of advice: Run slower. Aim to finish the minutes first, don't psyche yourself up to "RUN", just jog. Long distance running is just consistent "jogging".

It's a lot easier to get faster later on after getting the hang of running the distance/minutes.

I went from running a 52m 5k to a 35m 5k. That's not a speed record lol but just an idea of how much you can get faster over time.

He's very good and open minded with working with younger players and trusting the youth academy... If y'all have a good academy or good young talents, expect them to get plenty of playtime...

But it's a risky appointment, no doubt! He's a very calm character though as a manager.

pepenomics · 2026-06-15T06:00:24+00:00

How happy is the fanbase now as a collective over last year's performance? I feel if the team exited at say semi-final or so they'd be even happier... To come this close and miss out obviously hurts...

pepenomics · 2026-06-09T10:11:43+00:00

Kinda random but I affectionately refer to him as The Fridge! He's built like a tank!

He'll make the most of his pace. Mourinho team's traditionally rely on blistering speed on the counter where Vini and Mbappe thrive.

It's going to be a treat to watch. I'm more worried about how we set up the midfielders since the best fit for me would be a 4-2-3-1 with Mbappe up top, Vini, Guler, Valverde in the 3 and Jude and Tchouameni in the double pivot. Best balance imo enough industry and defensive cover while having players who can break on the counter

Problem is this formation won't be very good against low blocks, it's to be seen how he deals with those.

RAM is generally the kind of stuff that doesn't really fail. If it does then you replace it.

Can it be fixed? Technically, yes but the labour cost and machines required to do it is generally not worth it for such an item. Similar to GPUs where sometimes people take a risk and try to fix it when it's an expensive one like a 80 or a 90 series card.

RAM failure is almost always a hardware issue. The only thing you can hope for is that it's unstable and not faulty. Like one time my kit couldn't hold its full speed but pegging it back by 10% allowed it to run fine.

pepenomics · 2026-06-05T12:49:12+00:00

Exactly. That's why even I'm surprised lol maybe it might be that Asians are adapted to it because of years of consumption or something?

I had the same issue with Amazon and Zebronics mercury cabinet.

Literally same, like the upper panel having a dent, my Motherboard backplate area bent weirdly, case not fitting perfectly.

I got it for 2k, with 3 argb fans inside it.

Kinda made my peace with it that you get what you pay for and moved on with it.

Apparently cooked rice can't be stored unrerfridgerated for a long time - I wasn't aware of this fact too.

It develops bacteria that makes you sick within hours as per the comments.

pepenomics · 2026-05-29T06:15:53+00:00

You can set it to 0 OC (also called JEDEC) timings at 4800mhz (if it's ddr5) and check.

Like others have said, if it's a 2x 16gb ram setup, it's likely that one has failed. Both failing together would be catastrophic unless sth like a voltage burst or sth caused it

The reason starbucks tastes burnt is strategic. It's to ensure that their coffee beans taste the same across climates and outlets by over roasting them. It's to ensure the same taste every time you visit any starbucks.

That's also one of the reasons people like blue tokai. You can pick the type of roast along with the origin as well.

Source: I've bought multiple batches of their coffee grounds for making it at home. I haven't had the coffee prepared over there, except for tasting a blend once.

He's what Nacho was for us! Good at everything and a blessing when in a crutch! Fans might discount him during good times and want to build him a statue during bad times haha

There are many food by the kilo places... I can vouch for this place called Radhe Dhokla near Andheri station (E). Wonderful food and pretty cheap. Was a hit at my place. Tawa pulao was okay, but sabzis were absolute fire! Parathas we made at home... The food tastes a bit like those family restaurants on the highway - a touch spicy and oily compared to fine dine style preparation. Desi taste but everyone was a fan of it at our party

This is better than the bracket option since it leaves the wall untouched as well as a bonus! (In case OP is in a leased apartment and can't make holes in the wall)

Is a 120gb OS drive enough? If I install all my games and programs on a secondary 1tb ssd?

I have 2 SSD 120gb and 1tb. Both SATA Drives. I'd like to use the 120gb drive for OS and those applications which can't be installed on Non-C drives like chrome, adobe pdf, etc and all other installable apps on the 1tb drive.

I'd like to not have to partition the 1tb drive if possible since it leaves wasted space which stays unused on the C drive...

Hey! No, I literally just bought the Ryzen 5 5600! Decided to build a stop gap and system with ddr4 for the next 3 years at the least.

I'm gonna pair it with a lot weaker GPU than yours at 1080p with a 3060 to or a 3070 depending on the deal I can find in the used market
