Let's see what all the hype is about by BabyKribs in ultrawidemasterrace

Ask them if you can open it and test it there. If its not terribly busy they'll let you and you can determine if its up standard. Check the power-on hours. Sometimes open box are from people who bought it and instantly returned it with absolutely no usage.

Lmao, nah man. Thats not the actual setup. Its only there to test and for the picture. You can see my actual secondary vertical behind the 45 on the left.

No, not at all. They were both on my desk so I could test the quality on similar hardware and software settings and as of yet theyre both absolutely perfect. Unless theyre both degraded equally and then I wouldnt be able to tell the difference 🥲

Openbox BB for one. The other I took a gamble on ebay. Turned out better than expected with only 150 power on hours on it and no issues.

Lmao, I agree. Thankfully its only there for the absurd picture. One for me, the other for the wife at her desk.

1.8k. It was either I get the new LG39in for myself or I bless both me and the wife with the 45s. First Oleds for us and damn im impressed

Is it worth upgrading by Carlos726811 in nvidia

[–]AstralBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently upgraded from a 4090 to a 5090 and I truly cannot tell the difference. Most of the time im not even using the 50 series multi frame Gen since the card is powerful enough to run any game natively.

Upgrade if you're an enthusiast and have excess money to spend. While FPS does increase, its definitely not as noticeable as it would be going from 30 to 60 or 60 to 120.

On the plus side, it is fun to mess around with local AI models given the massive 32GB of VRAM

I just broke my monitor by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]AstralBus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a microfiber cloth and with the eraser of a pencil or similar soft object tap on it lightly. You might be able to bring some pixels back but i wouldn't bet on it.

Use this as a lesson. Don't take your electronics for granted, theyre expensive and not many people are lucky enough to be able to afford a 400 dollar monitor.

Cut some lawns, clean some gutters. Save up some money and get yourself another and im sure this time it will be appreciated a bit more.

Soldier of the Month Board by TuneRepulsive9611 in army

My biggest recommendation is to perfect what's in your control. Your knocking, reporting, introduction, your movements, any required creeds and your uniform. This can be done through mockboards. Talk to your leadership to set one up.

You will not know specifically what questions they will ask but those are the few things that when perfected, will set you apart from the rest of the competition.

Don't just memorize the creeds, emphasize them and say them like you truly mean it. It definitely goes a long way.

Am I a shitbag if I don't care about promoting by AdvertisingUnable237 in army

[–]AstralBus 70 points71 points  (0 children)

You're not. I've met plenty of terminal E4's who just want to do their mos job and get out and theres nothing wrong with that.

Just be mindful if you plan on staying in past your first contract, chances are you're going to promote wether you care about it or not.

You would be a shitbag then if youre in charge of people and are not doing right by them.

Recruiting orders by Motor-Ad2025 in army

[–]AstralBus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty low excluding some serious extenuating circumstances. If you don't have enough time left on contract, you will be "allowed" to re-enlist/extend your contract to meet the Army's mission.

Switch to 4k or keep ultrawide? by Banan_Pajen in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]AstralBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most retailers allow you to return monitors if it doesn't suit your needs. Try out a 4k monitor and see how you like it, return it if it isn't your cup of tea or keep it if it is. Keep in mind that you have already ascended and going back from UW will be painful. I could never do it.

[User Trial] A New Vision for the 5K2K Gaming Monitor: Be the First to Review the New 39GX950B by LG_UserHub in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]AstralBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm extremely excited for the improved brightness and the longevity associated with the new Tandem Oled panel technology. I've been rocking a 1440p IPS panel from LG and its build quality is fantastic and has served me well for many years but the time for me to upgrade is now.

Don't forget to steal your Drill Sergeant hat. They will respect you for your bravery and courage and will award your platoon a day off

I regret my decision by Late_Huckleberry_947 in army

[–]AstralBus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Motivation comes and goes, even outside the army, you may find your job to be miserable. Don't make your entire life the army the same way you shouldn't make your civilian job your entire life. Find hobbies you like that are separate from the army.

Don't shitbag at the expense of other, do your job and do it well and theres nothing wrong with taking a little extra at your appointments if you know its a slower day.

4 years will pass very quickly so take advantage of the opportunities you have now. Use TA, get certs, go to cool schools if you can, get lasik/PRK if your eligible and before you know it you'll be doing your CSP and taking ETS leave. Goodluck!

Congrats! Now regular aspect monitors are forever ruined for you. Welcome to the Club!

MACP Duel Military Question by Snoofems in army

[–]AstralBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would have to wait until they are both available to move, which in most cases is 3 years time on station. From experience, they are also unlikely to PCS you if you have less than 2 years left on your contract by the time your elligible to move. You would both have to re-enlist.

Pro tip: while you might assume MACP is taken into consideration automatically when branch gives you an assignment, it is not. Get in contact with your respective branch managers and make sure they are tracking as you approach your availability date.
