I use it only for web browsing and youtube watching and it will get bogged down at times If I have too many tabs open. Chrome and Firefox can be pretty heavy applications these days. Something like that shouldn’t be bogged down with just your browser... I’m guilty of keeping a thousand tabs open and while it can get ridiculous, it’s not eight gigs of ram and a modern processor ridiculous. Might be worth a clean install, XPS’ are decent machines. Easy peasy too on windows 10

yeah the problem with this website is its users don't spend enough money on interesting-enough material goods, you really hit it on the head there Anyway we went to H Mart yesterday and we really went nuts. Sansho pepper, fresh noodles, bonito flakes, a kilo bag of panko, hella Kit-Kats. Bottle of Korean black sugar syrup for coffee that has both corn syrup and sucralose for some loving reason. I like to go there every month or so both to re-up on my soy sauce, kewpie mayo, etc. and to just knock out a month's worth of impulse purchases. Just wandering around grabbing things. Big pack of frozen udon. Way too much cheap bok choy. New kind of furikake.

Yesterday I bought replacement zipper pulls to fix a coat. Afterwards I went out and bought some new groceries because I was running short on coffee beans. Also stocked up on cup pepperoni—really been hella enjoying those on our pizzas lately. Oh, and my chewie order for new cat litter finally came in too!

Not really a purchase, but a rental deposit on a new apartment WAY closer to the mountains. Literally a 10 min walk to some trailheads. I'm stoked.

big mean giraffe posted:I lost my favorite fairway driver and it's been out of stock since the beginning of the pandemic, but that luna is a top tier putter and my favorite currently Yeah, my friend has two Lunas and I borrowed it a couple times we went and I fell in love. It's sold out a LOT of places but I found a place called Sun King Discs that has a few in stock. I've never used a Wraith, but my other friend swears by them, since the flight pattern doesn't change much if thrown at a lower speed, whereas other drivers can have very unpredictable patterns when thrown slower. And the VROC is because I need some sort of "mid range" approach disc other than my Shark that is all warped because I left it in my hot car. And I decided to finally get some in the nicer tier of plastics since I'm finally getting decent enough to not hit every tree.

We spent about $300 last trip and I'm not sure exactly what we bought besides delicious foods. Something about not knowing exactly what it is and really only having the picture to go by increases the likelihood of impulse grabbing it.  Bought a serger so I can make the good seams on some sewing projects I've been meaning to do. Live in SoCal now, and it's too warm to me for hoodies 90% of the time, so gonna make some hoodies out of lighter fabric

I’m sad that the UK isn’t great for disc golf, at least around where I live. I’m a terrible player but I love it and my native Finland has loads of good courses.

It's been growing pretty steadily for a few years, especially with youtube channels like Jomez doing professional quality tournament coverage with pro player commentary. They put together a fantastic product and there's so much content from them alone, let alone all the pros starting their own channels with tutorials and guides, and 'get to know them' kind of content.

for the cost of a peloton you can buy an actual nice road bike, a Zwift trainer, and an ipad pro. You get a better version of all three aspects that way FYI.

Just tell me which bike I need to use that mod where you ride around a bike in GTA5. I ordered that super huge lego Millennium Falcon with the understanding that once it's built and I realize I have no place to display it I can just sell it used without losing much... assuming I don't lose any pieces.

Yeah, I impulse bought the Lepin bootlego of that along with the Docking bay, and that’s exactly my problem too—I’ve got nowhere to put it so it’s sitting in boxes just taking up space  For content, just bought some board games! Picked up the Star Wars version of catch phrase:  Jury is still out whether it’s going to be awful, but the more I think about it, should be fun! Also bought the Binding of Isaac after playing it the other week: Junk Art also came in recently too, thanks for the recommendation Bottom Liner! And in not board games land, picked up several of Weezer’s albums on vinyl as well:
