    Health Problems

    Back pain? Um in 1992 I had back surgery #1 and I was 21 at the time. I don't know if I mentioned it before or not, I know I've mentioned being on Oxy and stronger. Also to be completely honest, if I'd done what the doc's told me to I'd probably be a lot happier right now but, you know, fuck...

    I'm an electrician by trade. Health is FUCKED or I would be right back in it as it sure seems like you can charge WTF ever you want. Btw I think I mentioned here, I got 2 painting quotes to do 4 building exteriors a while back, one for 8K and one for 3. $3K seemed reasonable so that's where I...

    The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024)

    RE: sizes, I've noticed that too on the newsgroup side. I am now 'purchasing' a 6GB 1080P version and that seems high (all the 2160 rips I can see are Dolby Vision). I've noticed that the group/scene/wtfevertheycallitnowcuzImoldandshit 'MeGusta' are usually about a 3rd of the 'usual' size and...

    Health Problems

    Bro my understanding reading this thread is to share and try to help, not to 'outsick' each other. That said: I do not have great news. I've had brain / cancer /tumor and chronic back pain and fun fact: Back pain is worse. A good exercise for sciatic pain is to lay on a flat surface, bend...

    2K one is in the wheel house of what I'm running now and I'm loving it. 7900XTX is no joke. Also makes a great space heater!

    I always gave my nephew multiple hundred piece Lego and anything that made noise. I remember giving him a harry potter broom that made wooshing noises and him running around my house playing with it. We all thought it was hilarious until I reminded my brother that it was going home with him...

    True story , I just used one of those to 'fix' my old toaster about an hour ago in my garage. Cheap Wal-Mart Chinese made junk that I've hated since we bought it.

    Well this time , In addition to making you get an entirely new power connection and likely a new PSU, they are teaming up with GM financial for easy financing terms. Just a small 15%.

    What are you playing?

    Jedi Survivor. The difference between my new 7800x3d and 7900xtx vs my older rig is night and day. Enjoyed it before but basically gave up in frustration because the preshader BS took forever. I think I'm almost finished. After that I am not sure if it will be Sekiro or a new ER Toon to get...

    Sting came to my two bit town when I was in high school to open something. He stayed at our dog shit Days Inn where I worked. Left in makeup and came back to take it off. I saw him leaving and he is one ugly motherfucker.

    I have never ever seen the point in playing dress up in games much less PAYING to play dress up. Unless item #whatthefuckever has better stats than I have now I want no part of it.

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    hmm links are broken to me for some reason. I have a scar from temple to temple across the top of my head that makes headphone uncomfortable. Extended gaming sessions with headphones on tend to be painful. My earbuds are over the ear like sunglasses for that reason.

    Anyone have any experiences good or bad with Wyze brand smart switches? 2 of my Wemo smart switches were giving me fits today. Went to see what a replacement would be and discover Belkin stopped making them. I have Wyze camera already so thinking swap and one less app to mess with.

    I game with a pair of Klipsch R-51PM 'bookshelf' speakers hooked up to my PC via a fiber optic wire. If my wife is sleeping I'll put on my PS5 headphones that connect via a USB dongle. Never really cared for earphones and all the recent 'headwork' makes it uncomfortable. I just see them reviewed...

    On becoming an electrician

    Safety is more and more part of the larger (IMHO) better companies. Last place I worked , I was a PM on multiple projects and everyone's $$$ was tied to safety scores and audits. All I was doing was apartment/residential stuff but even our power plant guys are the same way. Doesn't matter if you...

    If you are going with a prebuilt and rollback route, check that the rollback doesn't void the manufacturer warranty. It's VERY FUCKY/SHADY but the big companies were pulling that bullshit during Win7/8. Guy wanted me to rollback all his HP laptops so I did what I usually do and check for any OEM...

    EMF Scanners and Geiger Counters

    For the WTF on my above post, I live within 100 miles of the Nevada Test Site where atomic detonations were conducted. I assume everyone in Vegas has to sign the same thing as they are closer, but didn't read the paperwork like I do.

    EMF Scanners and Geiger Counters

    I've wanted a Geiger counter for shits for a while. When I signed the papers for my house, I had to acknowledge that I understood 'Atomic testing' had been done within 100 miles of my property. That was a new one.

    Computer Issues

    And It's only going to get worse. My new gaming rig is the only one in the house that has Win 11 on it. Wife used it and hated it. Unfortunately for her, she really needs an upgrade as well and it doesn't make sense (now) to stay with Win 10 on a new machine.
