This is what I ended up doing. I also used plaster to smooth things out. I think it ended up okay

Thanks for the tip

Would it be fine to sparkle or caulk right up to the pipe that connects to my sink?

 

It's a bit of a long story but someone tried using spray foam to fill the hole around where my sink's plumbing goes through and it seems like it essentially expanded too much and causing the paint to tear.

I was thinking maybe I could get some rigid insulation cut it to size, stick it in there, and spackle over it followed by painting it. I would probably cut the rest of the paint to the top because it looks as if it is going to tear eventually and it's at an angle.

Any suggestions?

The gap is close to an inch in size.

 

I feel like it's not something you see very often here compared to other items like knives and fidget items.

I have a JEYI 2230 NVMe case with a 1TB drive I keep on my keychain for backups of things that would be annoying to lose like my AntennaPod stats

The additional monitor is a game changer. I feel like I don't take it for granted because of how often I see single monitor setups in the wild

 

I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to word the title. What I mean is something that changed in your life for the better and you immediately started underappreciating it.

I got laser eye surgery a couple years ago and immediately got used to it and didn't think about all the minor inconveniences that came with having glasses.

Similarly I bought a curved computer monitor because it seemed neat and after a couple hours it feels so insignificant I stopped really "feeling" anything.

Maybe. I am posting this from Canada.

Here's a photo

 

For context there are stickers on Lush product containers that have a cartoon photo of the people who made it. I'm wondering is there one person who just makes them? Are they made using preselected features? Do employees get to design them?

No clue but I'm curious.

 

Here are some things I plan to keep from my current build:

  • Corsair Vengeance C70 case
  • EVGA SupaNOVA NEX650G 650W 80+ Gold Certified power supply
  • 4 HDD + 2 NVME + 1 SSD

Here are some things I plan to get new:

  • AMD Ryzen 7800X3D 4.2GHz 8-core processor
  • be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2 CPU cooler
  • 32 GB (2*16GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR5-7200 RAM
  • Asus TUF Gaming OC Radeon 7800 XT graphics card

Should I consider anything else?

Everything seems to work out in PCPartPicker with two exceptions.

It seems like most motherboards will need to be updated to support the CPU. I don't know if it's possible to do this without a CPU or how likely I am to get a board with an older BIOS version.

It also says the RAM requires 1.45V more than the recommended maximum voltage of the CPU (1.35V).

I plan to upgrade the RAM, cooler, and CPU first and do the GPU later when there are more sales. I don't think this should be an issue. I was thinking about upgrading the RAM later but my computer currently has DDR4 and I think the CPU only supports DDR5.

 

Running GParted gives me an error that says

fsyncing/closing dev/sdb: input/output error

Using Gnome Disk Utility under the assessment section it says

Disk is OK, one bad sector

Clicking to format it to EXT4 I'm getting a message that says

Error formatting volume

Error wiping device: Failed to probe the device 'dev/SDB' (udisks-error-quark, 0)

Running sudo smartctl -a /dev/SDB I get a few messages that all say

... SCSI error badly formed scsi parameters


In terms of the physical side I've swapped out the SATA data and power cable with the same results.


Any suggestions?

Amazon has a decent return policy so I'm not incredibly concerned but if I can avoid that hassle it would nice.

 

For me it's Corner Gas. I still think it's pretty funny and there's a decent amount of references to Canadian stuff but not enough to be off-putting. I feel like an American wouldn't be confused watching it even if some of the references get a bit dated overtime.

I have only seen a bit of the animated version in waiting rooms.

 

From my understanding it varies from airline to airline.

I'm looking at the Air Canada page that has details for example which can be found here.

But I'm not sure certain what it means.

Can I have a portable power bank that's 160W? If I bring that could I also bring on a laptop and a Steam Deck?

It seems like you can bring 15 devices theoretically.

She also has a brown tail and a dot just above it so it kind of looks like a question mark

Reminds me of the garbage can that keeps crashing at the Tim Horton's downtown

Kenny Hotz from Kenny VS. Spenny started his own show called Triumph of the Will and in one episode he tried to become a cannibal

This post reminds me of that

That's sweet. Here's another photo if you wanted to show her

That's her all the time

Here's two more pictures.

 

Edit:

The original title of my post was

"Anyone know what these little shards would be I found in my can I got from 2 Crows Brewery?"

and the text below said

"I'm not sure if it's glass or some kind of settlement that accumulated at the bottom.

It is rather hard. I can't crush it easily with my fingers and it doesn't feel sharp enough to cut me. It has a pink colour to it."

but I contacted 2 Crows and they got back to me really quick.

They are wine crystals!

I had never heard of them before.

I edited the title because I don't want people to be concerned. I love 2 Crows.

If you were being overcharged for that

 

I know you can get canned escargot at Sobeys but I am talking about the real weird stuff. Canned cheeseburgers, full chickens, and bread.

I'd be fine ordering it online as well as long as I am not paying absurd amounts for shipping.
