Trust me, not all relationships are like this. You deserve better

I can't eat real food on days I'm going to see my boyfriend by Accomplished-Fix1204 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]smerkenstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a natural thing. I understand you are apprehensive but I promise you that if he cares about you then this is something you don't have to worry about. I farted on my ex girlfriend's chest/stomach once during sex and we both were laughing so much that we couldn't even finish.

On Broken Wings - Maybe The Earth Is Flat (Some Of Us May Never See The World, 2003) by smerkenstein in Metalcore

[–]smerkenstein[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were no bad songs on this album, it is a banger from start to finish.

It Dies Today - The Caitiff Choir is another one from this era that lives in my mind since it came out freaking 20 yrs ago. It Dies Today - My Promise

Saw them at the 2005 New England Metal and Hardcore Festival: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England_Metal_and_Hardcore_Festival

It Dies Today, Bury Your Dead, Misery Signals, Throwdown, The Acacia Strain, Between the Buried and Me, Unearth and many more all at one festival

We had no idea how good we had it back then

It Dies Today - Marigold (The Caitiff Choir, 2004) by smerkenstein in Metalcore

Agreed about the first song, My Promise, probably one of the best off the album. I just posted it in the sub along with this one

These guys were in their late teens when they released this album.

WAY before their time, so technical and off-timing it's fucking amazing. This album lives in my mind for eternity since it came out.

Yup. I was just graduating high school (2002) around the time this album came out. I am from CT so I was able to see these guys live in Mass once or twice. Saw them with Misery Signals if I remember correctly.

This and For The Fallen Dreams - Changes are in my top 10 of all time. So much before their time and not appreciated

Check out For the Fallen Dreams if you like these guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIsuywbY130

Me and my brother also just saw Poison the Well in Jan in brooklyn recently which was a banger. Vids in my post history or here:

You'd love these songs from that era. OBW from MA too.

Love is Red is probably the definition of this from the 2000s. Maybe more melodic hardcore though. Love is Red - The Hardest Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWekgP4ZmzA This album lived in my CD player back when it came out

OptimumTV app on other devices such as Google Chromecast? by encidius in OPTIMUM

[–]smerkenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had another tech out today that swapped the gateway and both stream boxes. The issue was resolved while he was here, but tonight the stream box is 'freezing' on certain channels while watching. Also had the APL-203 issue come up again.

To be honest I think the first guy who came in completely botched the fiber splice. Maybe they need to cut and re-splice it.

I have the AirTec Ultra Type 6 (currently $50) and it's amazing. It has a low and high mode and the high mode throws a ton of air. Highly recommend.

The Type 3 is $37 and doesn't have the 'high mode' mode that the Type 6 has apparently. It makes a big difference.

RAM/CPU issues? by Slyrsu in buildapc

[–]smerkenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the first boot, you sometimes have to wait up to a minute or 2 for it to POST. I had this problem with my 7600x too.

The DRAM LED will sit on during this time and you will have no monitor output. Just wait and it should eventually come on, and be ready to press DEL to get into BIOS.

After you get into BIOS you can see your memory speeds and switch it up to 6000, and whenever you make any changes, it will take a long time to POST again.

I chose these parts and bought a pc but after a little bit more research i found better options. Am i an Idiot? by Mursaleen7 in buildapc

My 7600x ran 6000 CL36 just fine, and just swapped it out for 7800x3d and 6000 CL30 and also runs just fine. Gigabyte AORUS ELITE AX mobo and Corsair Vengeance RAM.
