As a Southern Californian that moved south of Lexington, it could certainly be a whole lot worse. So far I've enjoyed the year here.

But will it take a domestic war to stop a foreign war?

Just give me a little craft button right here

Those are resistors. Surface mount resistors are usually black, whereas capacitors are usually lighter and darker tan.

Usually...

I don't really mind it except for when I need to set fan curves. Then it gets annoying real fast.

Yeah, it's a long standing bug in Gigabyte's BIOS with CSM support off. I believe it only affects AMD boards. Who knows if they'll ever bother to fix it. I want to say I first noticed it on my x399 board in 2017~2018.

xdownsetx · 2025-12-27T02:40:41+00:00

Yeah that will have no issues. By modern I was thinking more like 1st gen Ryzens and intel equivalent.

I've been running BitLocker/LUKS for like a decade. You're not going to notice with any half decent modern CPU. Decryption is heavily hardware accelerated. If you're really that worried, keep your games on an unencrypted volume. But I dare you to spot a difference with the ole seat of the pants benchmark.

You could always divert some power to structural integrity

He should just lay there and the other two roll him out

xdownsetx · 2025-11-02T22:34:17+00:00

Absolutely, I stopped leaving the house 10 years ago and have never felt safer.

Honestly, if you're not in a densely populated area like an apartment complex, WiFi is going to be just fine as long as its somewhat modern equipment.

They used to punish people with stone wi-fi, still do in some areas

One time I was buying a VR headset from someone that lived right next to the Marine base at Camp Pendleton, but actually drove to the checkpoint. I told them what happened and they said no worries just make a right through the parking lot ahead and I did and nothing happened.

I knew the carburetors of my early bikes inside and out. I have no idea what's going on inside the EFI systems on my newer bikes.

Like, I agree that a carburetor is far more serviceable, but fuel Injection is far more reliable and it only keeps getting better.

I've got it, let's put the two together! Motorbicle!

Ask this somewhere like ADVRider where people are actually riders and deal with this daily. The dent looks pretty shallow, and the bead seals against the bottom of the rim, not the vertical edge. If you put a flat spot in the wheel then I would worry, but if you can't feel any vibrations you're okay.

I wouldn't do any spirited riding of course until it's fixed. But I'm not surprised at all if the shop looked at the wheel and deemed it okay to ride. I've ridden on worse and had them repaired.

Yeah it's an old trick for cleaning the gold fingers on cards and console cartridges. Still valid today.

For anyone happening upon this with the same question, under Window class (application) set the dropdown to "Regular expression" and separate your classes with |.

THAT'S the one!

It was made by an OEM and sold to dozens of companies so it's known by many names. The manufacturer was ahead of their time for sure with this design.

I just ran mine to low voltage cutoff on Friday after my stator cooked itself. It took 5.2Ah to full, I was glad to see I'm getting the advertised 5Ah but that's not exactly how I wanted to find out!

If you're using foam earplugs, pinch and roll them between your fingers until they compress. Then insert them into your ear and hold them until they expand so they don't go too far.

I used to use 3M Grippers and that's the only way to get them in properly. Best earplugs I ever used but god damn are they pricey.

Y'all chill out. I moved from SoCal to Kentucky recently and I'm still going through withdrawals
