This is a very noticeable boost in my games. Hell yeah.

My fresh windows install comes with a 20% cpu performance boost.

A picture of a 3dmark time spy result comparison. The left side of the graph at the bottom shows a huge 21.7% performance boost over my previous test. The right side of the image shows meager graphics losses to when I was trying to overclock my pc.

A screenshot of cinebench r23, showing several results for AMD ryzen processors. This is my last benchmark before my ssd died, performed about a week ago when issues started. The 5800x3d I am using scored 13100 points.

A second cinebench r23 result, this one shows my 5800x3d about 1700 points higher on my fresh windows install.

My weed plants? They’re fine. Plants with an S? Yeah I have two.

A picture of a very tiny marijuana plant, just barely sprouting above the soil. The plant has four tiny leaves, two of them rounded, and two of them with serrated leaves. The serrated leaves are the start of vegetative growth, they will become full size leaves eventually. The round ones will not. Oh yeah the little tiny plant is cute.

A picture from a day or two ago of my two plants in their fabric pots. The older plant, which has a four day head start, is easily seen. The sprout is very small, just a speck of green on the soil. The black pots are sitting on plastic trays inside of a Mylar grow tent. They are also cute.

Recent photo of my larger plant. It was taken out of the humidity tent last night so it can have wind blowing on it, for stronger branch growth. It also is already showing signs of being a female plant. It already has three layers of leaves growing! It is also cute like the other pictures.

Here’s Frida eating a Dubia roach

A picture of Frida the leopard gecko, taken from above. She was just given a Dubia roach, one of her favorite foods, and I had to hastily open the camera on my phone. She ate this bug slowly though, and bit it sideways in the first place. Frida the gecko is cute.

A second picture of Frida munching on a roach. She has it mostly down now. She was eating it slowly because she was also maintaining her balance on the piece of wood she is standing on. Every time she moved the roach in her mouth, she almost fell off the wood. She was so eager to eat though that she took the roach off the tweezers in the wrong spot. You can also kinda see her pupil in her left eye, narrow and tall. Her pupils are generally hard to see, but they are cute.

My fresh windows install comes with a 20% cpu performance boost.

rtbh99 @rtbh99.bsky.social · 5d

After about an hour of screwing around, moving drives to different slots, I discover my motherboard only supports nvme drives for boot function.

Omg I found a sata m.2 ssd while cleaning my desk and installing a shelf. Gonna install windows on it so I can do the fallout 76 event. Also check out my shelf.

A picture of a very old data m.2 drive. It has two notches on its connector end, identifying it as sata. It has spare heat sink I had sitting around on it, it is not an adata XPG drive. It will let me play fallout 76, therefore it is cute.

A picture of my newly installed wall shelf. I drilled it into studs, measure twice cut once, using a level, I did it all. Super sturdy, for my decorations. From left to right, we have a rathalos figure perched on a rock, a knife in its sheath, a no-face plush, from the movie Spirited Away. There is then a clamp mount for a set of four helping hand arms, and then a watermelon shaped vase sitting behind it with a pen sitting in it. There is also a plush bunny, and finally a ceramic bowl with some mounting hardware for another shelf in it. The shelf is cute.

Oblong ovoid

A top down picture of Rosa the brown bunny. She is looking flat and wide, with two lil front feet poking out at the bottom of the picture. Her head is also at the bottom of the picture, with alert ears, but relaxed as hell. One of her toys is on the right side of the frame, touching her body. Rosa the bunny is cute.

I need 114.99 dollars plus tax.

A screenshot of a pcpartpicker list, with four SSDs on it. It has been filtered down to drives within a certain price range, with a 2gb dram cache, and pcie 4x4. One of them is cheaper than the others, but still out of my price range :(

rtbh99 @rtbh99.bsky.social · 6d

My ssd is extremely dead. Not buying ADATA ever again. This is the second time I’ve had this model of drive fail.

A blue screen computer error screen. TLDR it is about my pc being in recovery mode, because the computer can’t see my dead ssd anymore. Most of the options on the bottom do nothing. This is not cute.

Windows 11 disc location screen. There are several partitions, two storage drives, and one usb drive for installing windows. There are also 2tb of unallocated space, which I think is my dead ssd. The dead one only has a 1tb capacity though, so I’m not sure why it’s saying 2tb. Either way I can’t interact with it, can’t partition it, can’t install to it. Not cute.

Made some sandwiches

A picture of a skillet filled with layers of Campbell French onion soup, and sliced roast beef. It will be simmered for a little bit while I sauté mushrooms and onions.

A picture of six open faced sandwiches sitting on a parchment paper lined baking tray. The sandwiches each have a bottom bun dipped in the au jus created from simmering the beef, as well as two slices of roast beef, and a healthy topping of sautéed mushrooms and onions. This is right before adding slices of provolone cheese to each sandwich.

A picture of the sandwiches after I put them in the oven with cheese on top. They were in the oven for only about 5 minutes at 375f. The cheese has melted down onto the mushrooms and onions, creating a delicious mixture of food and textures. The cheese also helps hold the sandwich together.

A final picture of me presenting two French dip sandwiches to lt cmdr Worf. The top buns have had their faces dipped into the au jus before being placed atop the sandwich. Tbh they don’t even need a separate container of au jus for dipping, they’re good as is. The sandwiches are cute.

Next generation of weed has sprouted

A picture of a tiny little marijuana sprout that has just barely poked above the soil, sometime in the past few hours. I misted it before I went to work this afternoon and it wasn’t sprouted yet. The leaves are tiny, the plant is barely as large as a dime. The plant is also cute.

Essence of buny

A picture of my hand, which is holding a large clump of combed fur from Rosa the bunny. It is a tan color, and very soft. It doesn’t smell like much though, I wonder if Covid messed up my sense of smell. The clump of fur is somewhat cute.

She is very well behaved for the comb. A comb enjoyer, if you will.

Aaahhh it’s so tiny.

A picture of a marijuana seed, unknown strain. It is inside of a ziploc bag with a wet paper towel, a proven method of plant germination. The seed has a long white root coming out of it, just waiting to dig into some soil. I just have to fill up this five gallon grow bag for it to live in. The seed is cute too.

rtbh99 @rtbh99.bsky.social · 12d

Hell yeah

Another pair of duds. This time I soaked the seeds to see if any were duds, and chose two of the largest seeds. All but one seed passed the soak test, where you soak seeds in water for 24-36 hours to see if they sink or float.

A picture of ten marijuana seeds in a measuring cup full of water. Nine of them have sank to the bottom,
Indicating potential viability for growing a plant. The seed that is floating was disposed of. The seeds that sank are cute.

A picture of two more weed seeds in a ziploc bag. These were the largest seeds among the ones they sank to the bottom. Maybe that means big plant. The seeds are cute.

It’s raining dandelions!… and I hit her on the head with one oops

Starting over after a delay of not having any ziploc bags

Two lil weed seeds in a red ziploc bag, atop a moist paper towel. The seeds are cute.

They’re buds.

A picture of Squid the bichon frise, and Rosa the bunny, sitting together in Rosa’s room. There is fencing between them, which helps Rosa feel safe, and Squid like he knows he shouldn’t bark at her. They are giving off king of the hill vibes. Just two buds chillin. Squid is halfway through a haircut in this picture, looking like he is wearing a puffy vest. Rosa is sitting with a wide stance, and she seems relaxed. They are both cute.
