PT?    They demoted you for not doing enough push-ups or something?  That's dumb of them.  

 

There's time limits for ranks?

 

Cool.  What will you be going to school for?

 

That car looks awesome.  I'm starting to look for a car myself and I really hope I find one that looks as nice as this.

 

I've mostly looked at Honda and Toyota because my parents (sort-of helping me look) say they're super reliable brands but honestly I'd love a ford like this.  My mom has a 2006 Ford Escape hybrid and I love it.  The seats are comfortable to me and the steering wheel materiel feels nice and let's you get a firm grip and overall the car feels nice to drive.  

 

I think a friend, possibly former friend since they've gone radio silent for a few months so idk what their deal is, had a Ford Focus and I really liked it.  

 

Though my parents have had bad experiences with fords so they're all like don't buy a ford.

 

Maybe I should buy a ford just to see hear an epic groan from my parents?  lol

 

Or would that be too mean?  ?

I'm starting classes for computer science in August.

Cool.  I just got my master's in library science not nearly as hard as you might think. ?  Though in another life I might've liked to have done something computer related too.

Food near a computer makes me nervous but enjoy whatever you got.  ?

 

(I can't read all the wrappers and idk what's in the cup.)

Not a fan of tomatoes and sour cream sorry.  ?

 

The extent of my Taco Bell adventures is pretty much limited to basic hard shell tacos, pintos and cheese (I think that's what it's called?), and cinnamon twists.  

 

I'm boring and picky.  lol

 

That mountain lemonade stuff sounds worth a try though.  ?

lol, had them take the tomatoes off it. Not a fan of those red slices of no haha..well, in their natural form. Totally down when it's in sauce form. Drink is also pretty good. You can sometimes find them in can form.

I thought I was the only one!  ?    I hate tomatoes but I like ketchup.  

 

Just like I don't like actual cherries but I like code red Mountain Dew.  

 

I'll have to keep an eye out.  Not sure if I've seen cans of that stuff but you never know what you might find when you actively try to find it.

Sorry.  I feel like my comments are being interpreted as an attack against your choice which is not what I meant them to be.  

 

While out of the box it isn't the best for gaming you're right that is a better value it would cost a decent amount more to get an Intel CPU that would beat the 1500X by enough to be worth having instead of it.  

 

 

I would suggest getting a better cooler though.  Overclocking it will help squeeze extra performance and an aftermarket cooler will let you push the 1500X higher.  

 

Something like a Cryorig H7 would be perfect if you're looking for value.  It's like $35 and works great on my 6700K.  

 

Though you might have to contact Cryorig to get AM4 mounting hardware since Idk if they started including it with their coolers yet if they have plans to do so.

 

 

Again sorry if I offended you I wasn't meaning to do that.  ?

Naw, you didn't offend me.  I was just laying out the benefits of Ryzen 5 over Core i5s.  

I'm not spending the money on an aftermarket cooler right now because the AMD stock cooler is so good.  I'm only planning a modest overclock anyways, and if I plan to ramp up higher, I still have my T2.

That's a relief.  ?

 

That works but I'd pay close attention when at high loads to make sure it's not getting hotter than you want or is safe for the 1500X.  

 

Idk if I'd trust a cooler named after a movie with an evil liquid metal android that tries to kill people.  ?

Just look up reviews of the Wraith coolers, they're actually decent.

Decent yes but looking at that first video you showed me yesterday it shows that while at stock the 1500X cooler kept it just below 70C it got up to almost 90C after they overclocked the 1500X.

 

Idk what the danger limit is for Ryzen or what they preferable limit to avoid lifespem reduction is but 88C sounds a bit high for me to be comfortable.

 

 

I will say again that for a stock cooler it does seem AMD did a pretty good job.  That you can OC at all without it lighting on fire is proof of that.

I kinda want to jerry rig the wraith fan and shroud onto an older 125tdp amd stock cooler and see what the results are like.

Picked this up (ASUS C100PA Chromebook Flip) at Microcenter on clearance. Supposedly retails for $250, but I see it going on ebay in the $100-200 range. A steal at $41.96

I bought one of these for my mother's iPhone 6 Plus. Since her old case was very beat up and her battery life isnt the greatest I bought it new. To say the least she really likes it

It's a nice thought but those are very overpriced for how little they add to total battery life.  

 

A a better option would be a small Anker battery pack (under $20 USD) and a nice Anker braided nylon lightning cable (about $12-15 USD and much cheaper than a less nice Apple brand cable btw)

 

You'd be able to completely recharge any iPhone at least one full time likely more and save a lot of money.  Simply for not having the battery in the phone case.

 

Check out Anker's website if you'd ever be interested.  I've got multiple Anker battery packs and love them.  

 

 

Though having an extra battery on the phone could be rather convenient.

I like monoprice's battery bank, got a USB C 10Ah unit for <20$

Never used those.  Is it decent?    Not that I need USB C on the battery pack but it's not bad to have it if you'd want it.  

 

Link?    Idk who sells those.

Nice, you struggle to find cheap Chinese android tablets at that price.
