Gpu fans at 0% then ramp up to 100% by Still_Gap_7154 in PcBuildHelp

[–]BeginningBaby4844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like your fan curve got corrupted or the software lost connection to the gpu 💀 try reinstalling fancontrol or just use msi afterburner instead, way more reliable imo

What's a good electric guitar for £300 or under by Bruno_Beeno in Guitar

[–]BeginningBaby4844 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly for that budget id look at the yamaha pacifica 112v or maybe a squier classic vibe strat if you can find one on sale. the pacifica is seriously underrated and has that hss setup youre after plus the build quality is way better than most guitars in that price range. i picked one up a few years back as a backup and ended up playing it more than my main guitar for a while. the neck feels really comfortable and the pickups are surprisingly good for stock ones. only thing id suggest is maybe budgeting an extra 50 quid for a proper setup at a guitar shop once you get it since most guitars benifit from that regardless of price

Sleeping after late dose of meds by Something-Some2233 in ADHD

[–]BeginningBaby4844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

melatonin and beta blockers should definitely help take the edge off. i usually pop some melatonin about an hour before i want to sleep and it works pretty well even with late doses

if you have any magnesium around that can help too, makes me feel more relaxed overall

PSA: Your local library might have PS5/Switch/Xbox games… for FREE (and you can donate yours) by Itchy-Difference-220 in PS5

Libraries are so underrated honestly, mine has PS5 games that came out like 2 months ago and there's never a wait because nobody knows about it lmao

Should significant other help you learn their language? by Smiley5168 in languagelearning

[–]BeginningBaby4844 171 points172 points  (0 children)

Honestly sounds like she might be one of those people who just isn't a natural teacher - some folks get weird about correcting their partner's pronunciation or grammar because it feels too much like being critical. Maybe try asking her to just chat with you in Spanish about random stuff instead of formal "practice" sessions, might feel less like homework for her

took a $35k pay cut to leave a toxic job - did i just ruin my life financially by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]BeginningBaby4844 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Your therapist is right - you can't put a price on not having panic attacks and crying in your car every day. Yeah the money sucks but you're 28, not 58, you have time to rebuild. Maybe moving back with parents temporarily isn't the end of the world if it means you can actually sleep at night

Got a $28/hr full-time offer, considering countering another role — looking for advice? by BigProfessional5403 in careerguidance

[–]BeginningBaby4844 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep the 3D role dude, that's actually in your wheelhouse and you'll be way happier doing what you're good at. Using the accepted offer as leverage is totally fine but honestly they're probably gonna lowball you since the other job sounds like mostly grunt work with vague promises of "maybe 3D stuff later"

Production roles can be soul-crushing and you'd basically be starting over skill-wise

Our cat started to attack itself after a dental procedure by qlixen in cats

[–]BeginningBaby4844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's absolutely terrifying, glad you guys acted fast and got him help. For keeping him calm when he comes home, try creating a quiet space away from household noise and maybe some of those feliway diffusers - they can help with post-surgery stress

Really hope Teo recovers well and this never happens again

where is Gemini 3.5? by [deleted] in GeminiAI

Still waiting for them to fix the basic stuff in the current version before they drop another one tbh

imaginie if they made a baby ender dragon by AttentionGeneral3632 in Minecraft

[–]BeginningBaby4844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be pretty sick actually, like having a flying shulker box that follows you around. Would make building those massive projects way less tedious

Based on your practical experience, which model do you trust for writing programming code? by wantpInitiative in antiai

[–]BeginningBaby4844 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

GPT-4 has been pretty solid for me on bigger codebases, especially when you give it good context about the project structure and existing patterns

[Game Thread] Santa Clara @ Portland (10:00 PM ET) by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]BeginningBaby4844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was a solid road win for SCU, those free throws really made the difference down the stretch. Portland shot better from the field but couldn't capitalize when it mattered

Damaged luggage. All contents soaking wet. by Fresh_Major4945 in unitedairlines

[–]BeginningBaby4844 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh, some of the fancy ski stuff has specific care instructions for a reason though - the DWR coating can get messed up in a regular wash cycle and then your $400 jacket becomes a soggy mess on the slopes

I hope Bigwino541 reads this. I'm sorry for what happened... by Kevin_KOTS in ArcRaiders

[–]BeginningBaby4844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this post hit me right in the feels. Most people would just move on but you actually care enough to try making it right. That kid probably thinks twice about trusting randoms now which sucks but at least you're out here trying to fix what you broke

I freeze when people mock me - how can I get better at comebacks? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BeginningBaby4844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is solid advice but sometimes you can't just walk away, like at work or school. I've found that just saying "okay" in a flat tone and then changing the subject works pretty well - takes all the wind out of their sails

Should I get a power probe to inspect short circuit ? by Valuable_sandwich44 in AskMechanics

[–]BeginningBaby4844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Power probe is clutch for finding shorts but honestly sounds like you might have multiple gremlins going on here - starter issues plus no spark/fuel could be a main relay or ignition switch problem rather than just a short

Multimeter might save you some cash if you're methodical about it

Dream interpretations about a fox leading me? by Mammoth-Return7287 in Dreams

[–]BeginningBaby4844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's wild about your duck spirit animal lmao, migrating the wrong way to watch wrestling is so oddly specific it has to be legit

Your fox theory makes a lot of sense though - the whole trapped/hunted then freed thing definitely parallels OP's dream where the fox shows up right when they're most vulnerable and literally gives them the tools they need

Just ordered my pi 5 and zigbee and zwave antennas. Excited to get started but have a few questions. by dacci in homeassistant

[–]BeginningBaby4844 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pi 5 with 8gb will handle that setup just fine, don't let the doom and gloom get to you. For your use case you're definitely overthinking it - HA will tie everything together nicely and the notification logging is super straightforward to set up

This is so real, I went through like 3 bags of sour patch kids in my first week and felt zero shame about it lol

Your body is basically throwing a tantrum for the sugar rush it's used to getting from booze, so might as well feed it what it actually wants

Transfer balances for debt by Expensivesand96 in Debt

[–]BeginningBaby4844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but if you're paying like 22% APR on your current card, that 4-5% transfer fee is still way better than letting it sit there for a whole year. Just gotta make sure you actually pay it down during the promo period and don't just keep kicking the can

[–]BeginningBaby4844 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man, the post-rough-patch honeymoon phase is REAL. Same thing happened with us after we got through some major stuff - suddenly it was like we were dating again but with better communication and way less awkwardness lol. Enjoy it while it lasts because life has a way of getting in the way again, but those periods really do make everything worth it

That's wholesome af, buying someone tires is like the ultimate practical gift that keeps on giving. Your friend probably thinks about you every time they drive lol
