The Flood / Re: New Computer
« on: March 11, 2023, 11:13:37 AM »
I think I need to replace my GPU as I've been having issues with stuttering. Mainly when I have Youtube vids playing and then do something like close another program. my GPU usage in task manager will spike to 100% for a second and the video and audio will lag.

I only have a 1660. Don't know if I should replace it with the same or get an upgrade. Got about 500 bucks I could spend on one.

The Flood / Re: The Last of Us is really good
« on: January 30, 2023, 05:11:00 PM »
Never played the game but I've heard the show is surprisingly good. I guess they're sticking pretty well to the source material and its lore since the first game was so beloved.

It's a shame they didn't do the same with the Halo show. Instead we got Master Cheeks in a sex scene.

Seem mostly fine to me, although I don't trust self driving features much yet. That recent vid of a Tesla randomly slamming brakes on a highway and causing an 8 car pile up reinforces that for me.

They definitely need to solve the issues with batteries though. Lithium and cobalt mining aren't exactly green and sustainable the way people like to treat EVs as.

Just realized about a year from now the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will turn a decade old, damn.

Happy holiday fellas!
January 2023 will be 10 years since Bnext launched
Definitely not an anniversary worth celebrating.

The Flood / Re: "Being poor makes you fat"
« on: December 25, 2022, 10:07:15 PM »
It's not exactly being poor that makes you fat. I'd say it's having to eat cheap processed foods full of 10 different types of sugar and oils and massive amounts of carbs. And with limited physical activity your body can't burn off all the fat it takes in because you have so much glucose to burn for energy instead. Which is why keto diets are so popular now.

Of course, I'm no expert in this shit and that's just the best of my layman's understanding. The thing is, I have to eat fresh meat and vegetables home cooked exclusively because of my health condition and it really isn't that expensive, especially compared to eating fast food or takeout. You just have to have the time and will to cook your own food.

I think he was rooting for the GOP since he was absolutely malding in the previous page.
It's pretty obvious Ian was hoping for the GOP to win bigger, but I will say that basically everyone I know that is a Republican or leans republican believes that the majority of the GOP are complete losers.

I'm gonna start leaving it open in a tab at all times to get the high score.
Won't work. That's exactly what I do and I only have 143 days.
Unless you're constantly refreshing every 15 mins or so it won't count.

ngl guys
Don't know how you do jt
Just imagining kidney stones makes me want to put a bullet through my head
I heard it was supposed to hurt in your side terribly but for some reason the majority of my pain has been in my groin/bladder.

It does fucking sting when the stone comes out though. The second stone I passed got stuck for a second and then shot out of my dick, flew passed the toilet, and then smacked against the wall.

i see—so it sounds like your current ones have been lying dormant for a while, then? that was my situation as well, although i've only dealt with two

nothing but water is great, but it definitely wouldn't hurt to add some lemonade in there. i know it seems counterintuitive with the sugar, but the citric acid has been shown to help break stones down and prevent more from forming (plus it's delicious)
I only found out that I had stones about two months ago. There is a cluster of multiple stones in my right kidney. I just had lithotripsy today actually to break them up so they can pass easier.

Unfortunately lemon tends to give me heartburn. I've tried to use vinegar instead as I've heard it also helps. I just put a shot of it in a glass of water and chug it down.

Currently dealing with kidney stones so let's just say I'm not doing the greatest.
you've no doubt heard this from your doctor, but you should really drink nothing but water and lemonade for the rest of your days, on top of reducing your sodium intake (assuming it's that kind of stone). you'll never get another
I only drink water. Literally nothing else. Some of it is flavored but it's clear and has zero sugar or sweeteners. The reason I developed stones is actually from my restricted diet which was very high in oxalate. The stones I've passed already were tested and found to be calcium oxalate stones. Needless to say I've cut out the foods responsible.

Do any of the original Bungie employees from the Halo days even still work there?
Jason Jones is still there I think
I wonder if he's embarrassed at all.

« on: May 12, 2022, 04:34:31 AM »
I have some very mild nausea but I've only gotten it about once a day so far. Unlike most people, I don't mind if my body throws up because I understand I'll at least feel absolutely amazing right afterwards with the huge rush of chemicals going through my head.

I got sick back in January (which is what apparently knocked my immune system out enough to for me to end up with bacterial pneumonia) and I had one of the worst sore throats I've ever had in my life. Thought it might be strep since I ended up vomiting as well.

Have you not felt nauseous at all? I've had strep multiple times in my life and every time I would have terrible nausea and end up puking.
Ah the kind of nausea I would get is the kind that lasts forever and ends up making you dry heave because there's nothing left to come up.

Thanks. I think this is my first time having it. I would be able to go into work and be productive if it just wasn't for the fucking sore throat. Without that I can barely tell there's something wrong with me.

Strep is the worst.  I get it too often  One time so bad it infected my lymph nodes too.  Stay strong king.  Wish there were over the counter pain meds strong enough for your plight.

Eh I just got out of the hospital after 8 days of being in there for having an infection in my lung, and now I have to have a fluid draining tube stuck in my chest and take antibiotics for weeks so things have been. . not fun. I guess.

I don't know shit about Le Pen except that she's conservative I guess.

Macron though. . seems like a lot of French aren't particularly happy with him, if the whole massive protests thing is anything to go by.

Okay the comet azur spell really is virtually broken in pve. Especially if you have a summon to distract. I killed Morgott in like 30 seconds. Had a way tougher time with his lesser form Margit.

Ha word, well I appreciate the offer but I can't really get out due to my disability, hence the boring part about me.

You're not in a sealed clean room are you
Nah, I just have chronic fatigue that is severe enough to make it difficult for me to get out of the house and walk around. Sucks.
