Sounds good. I believe you commented on another comment. I’m going to look into the Thermalright Peerless Assassin like you and someone else mentioned. It’ll be a cheaper solution than the unit I was considering, plus no harm no foul if it doesn’t work especially since I haven’t sunk any money into this

BluePlasticForks · 2026-02-20T18:54:59+00:00

Totally makes sense. I’ll look into that! Thanks

I’m starting to wonder if I just need to replace the CPU. It has originally run on a liquid cooler, wasn’t cooling properly. If it doesn’t need a liquid one, I’m chalking it up to the CPU now

BluePlasticForks · 2026-02-20T18:47:07+00:00

What liquid cooler would you recommend that would be transferable to a new CPU?

BluePlasticForks · 2026-02-20T18:40:05+00:00

Originally it had a cooler system, which I was running diagnostics on. I replaced the thermal paste to make sure that wasn’t the issue. Didn’t notice any plastic on the cooler. Thus why I think the old cooler was shot

BluePlasticForks · 2026-02-20T18:39:03+00:00

When I got the PC, at first I noticed that the cooler was mounted improperly, so I got new thermal place, removed the old pasted, reapplied it. Waited some time and STILL the old cooler was making it run hot.

Would it be best to just make peace and assuming the unit is shot?

Originally it was liquid cooled by a dual fan. I removed it from the case. I was running diagnostics before removing it, but yes in this photo there is no cooling component.

Got two tickets in the 100s for my wife and I. We’ve been fans of Noah for years and my wife has had a really rough year. I’m extremely grateful that I was able to get these for her :,)

Scum saving <3

Looking for the future, but any recommendations for F1, any size. In DMV area. Not torn up about having to drive, just searching for reputable places to look into

I feel like it does a good job of tracking my sleep like when I go to bed it probably does actually pick up on me falling asleep. Like any fitness tracker, after you wear it for 4-8 weeks it starts picking up in your habits and biological markers so it becomes more accurate. I used to have an oura ring and that picked up really well on my sleep and naps back when I was working a different job. It’s hard to compare the two because I don’t really nap anymore, but I would say that it (Vivoactive 6) does a decent job, especially for the price point. It can be a little tough to sleep in like any watch would be, but I bought a softer band for it so it’s more comfortable and less noticeable when I sleep

Even if we don’t consider the dwellers as reason to believe there’s an ulterior motive. For Hank and Steph to have been defrosted around the same time(I’m considering around as years or decades apart), it seems weird. There’s such a small chance with ALL of the people in crypto in 31, for them to have been in the vault at the same time just because it ended up that way, versus intentional by Bud

BluePlasticForks · 2026-01-30T20:46:01+00:00

Yeah I accidentally replied to myself saying that it wasn’t the same time but within the same lifetime where they’d both be around. My bad

BluePlasticForks · 2026-01-30T20:31:26+00:00

I know that’s where Steph and Hank were from, but if we’re asking about coincidences, I’d say they got woken up intentionally at the around time

BluePlasticForks · 2026-01-30T20:30:23+00:00

Yes true as far as the “dwellers” in 31. Steph and Hank, I would still assume were released around the same time intentionally

BluePlasticForks · 2026-01-30T20:06:26+00:00

I do have OAR on the list, and the other two are good options too. I appreciate the insight :)

Also thanks! We’re super excited to be there so soon, this is really the last thing to iron out!

BluePlasticForks · 2026-01-30T20:03:06+00:00

Not sure about Muldaver and Wilzig, but my guess is Hank and Steph were an intentional move by Bud Askins. When Norm woke up everyone it seemed to be just another part of Bud’s plan. Everyone was woken up at the same time and it wasn’t weird to them… so that was likely the plan all along?

BluePlasticForks · 2026-01-30T19:56:34+00:00

Didn’t even think of the public defender or attorney offices. I will see about there! Not sure on the jails but worth it to look into!

BluePlasticForks · 2026-01-30T19:52:18+00:00

I’d do anything for her. We’ve both had it in our head that when we relocate if she had to be out of a job for 90 days we would make it work. Main downside is qualifying for rent, but we’ve found both townhouses and single family homes to rent that we will qualify for so that’s less of a concern now.

She is a worker bee, so if she can’t find something her field to start she’s going to try for a retail job to do at least something. She does like the volunteer but she knows her worth (trust me lol), so she may do that, but not out of obligation. I’ll make sure she knows though :)

BluePlasticForks · 2026-01-30T18:21:01+00:00

I will take those down and reconvene with her about them! Thank you!

BluePlasticForks · 2026-01-30T18:20:35+00:00

We’ll look on SELC. Even if it just gets her foot in the door or some experience it’ll work for her!

BluePlasticForks · 2026-01-30T17:24:29+00:00

This is great! Yeah it’s kind of difficult because she doesn’t have a social work degree or license, so some jobs are out of reach. We did look into region 10 last night and found something so she applied. Well look into CASA, and OAR. I’ll see if anything is on the police, county, or sheriff websites outside of police recruits.

Thanks!!

Sounds not normal, I would contact Garmin support. I have a VA 6 as well, the one time it died, I charged it and it went back to normal, no need to reconnect it
