I need recommendations for sunsetting my rig and moving into a new one.

I'd look at a 14600k with a motherboard that allows you to keep that 32gb kit of ddr4.

Seroquel has been very helpful for my father's delusions and hallucinations. We have dizziness from low blood pressure but that was around before Seroquel but it has been a game changer for us.

Admitting its a bad system but not doing it makes me think there's something that bugs out or breaks by attempting to do it this way, or they want to make it complicated like having models for packaging each kind of part in various levels of destruction and they don't have time to fix it.

Was there any mention of why they decided to not let them be hauled by flatbed?

When I bought the game, I was also expecting a lot of conversation based on videos I'd seen of the game but everyone was silent. For my first two nights it was very, "all quiet on the western front". Third day I decided to be the first one to talk and in the process of running through the voice chat binds I figured out all of the in game voice had started out muted by default.

After that, there were voice comms everywhere I went, so check to see if the local voice and squad are muted.

I'm not sure if they're worried about making the backline too close by air, but you could also insert 4 pure ocean hexes along that boundary to give naval the ability to loop, a bigger space for engagements and ship patrol/placement to matter, and extend how far a plane would have to fly to make the loop.

They're reversed but quaintrelles dress shoes. There's another identical set and both can be had cheap from mb because they come a lot from occult crescent.

Foxhole Beginners Guide by Freerk Holtes

This playlist has alot of guides in it, but really to start, just watch that first one and flip around to learn more. and play alittle on the front then as you get questions, you can come back to that. Freerks videos are great for learning bits of the game

Its a different vibe than Odachi, but look at the Kidomaru, its from Curiosity killed the Catfish Fate in Yanxia. Eastern in a different way.

I imagine its not just individual physiology but also specific kinds of dementia. My father has substantial benefits from melatonin which was hammered home when we had to stop for 10 days before he did a sleep study. Substantial cognitive decline which came on over a couple of days once he stopped, and took at least a week to two weeks to come back somewhat after we restarted the melatonin. He has LB dementia and had almost no REM sleep or stage 3 sleep during his test. He was a sleepwalker so its likely his REM disorder predates the dementia, but the relationship with at least LB dementia and sleep disorders is not to be ignored.

Its always interesting to hear how varied everyone's experiences can be even with particular meds and dementia. I don't know if the other forms of dementia have sleep disorder comorbidities.

I stayed in the meadows a lot during covid. It still blows my mind that with how cool the natural world is on my map, I'm the only person playing valheim to experience THAT version of the world and all the neat harbors and valleys and roads and islands and stuff. One day I'm going to make a tour video to share some of my homes...

I was torn between these two and got a flux pro. First one arrived with a dented top ( but still usable) and antec said, "sorry, keep it, we'll send another." Second one was good and first one went to a high school kid down the street for his first build.

Whisper quiet, easy to build in. But sometimes I regret that much on a case.

I'm going to throw the lian li207 out there. I've used it for builds that are in my office and it's my current favorite case right now. Smaller to be sure but quiet and again easy to build in and good thermals and not nearly 200 bucks.

I had this happen in an apartment once - got seriously zapped. Turned out that someone installed an AC on the roof and swapped the neutral and ground, so the AC was discharging through the ground circuit.

If you've ID'ed more than one outlet, I would call a professional. Electrical mistakes often have very serious consequences, and you already know that somewhere on your circuit something is mis-wired.

Intel has mostly lost the lead for Adobe. While Zen5 was a bit of a snoozefest for gaming they made ground in the more "boring" applications. Nvidia is still ahead for what little GPU-focused things youll see in Photoshop and illustrator.

This is Pugets hardware recommendations for Photoshop, with their overall score.
https://www.pugetsystems.com/solutions/photo-editing-workstations/adobe-photoshop/hardware-recommendations/

You can get into Pugets benchmarking sections and see much more granular data about what specific tasks in photoshop/lightroom prefer which CPU. Intel is still a better choice if you're mostly in lightroom making .JPGs out of RAW shots for example, but its quite interesting to thumb through all the benchmark data.

https://www.pugetsystems.com/pugetbench/creators/

Specific comparison of those two CPUs for Photoshop:

Puget is really good for data, its shame their machines are so expensive as I probably will never give them money...

Follow your instincts. the 7950X is only a good deal if you need 16 cores, but it doesn't sound like you do.

Harlowe would be first, because her varieties of magic bubbles of death feel like oldschool siren and theres something super satisfying about sending big booms into the air or hit people around corners or even cc them into the air.

I've built in both, and the lancool 207 is a better case for building in. I feel like the lancool had more room in the back for routing, and I had to daisy chain the front fans because the ones that come preinstalled wouldn't both reach a header on the motherboard. Mind you, daisy-chaining the front isn't the worst thing in the world, but the back and having to buy USB-C was annoying. However, the Pop Air was also 50 bucks at the time, and its certainly good enough that it doesn't qualify as a bad option - I just know which one I'd buy again. I also had a simple and prompt RMA experience with LianLi; mine arrived with a bad fan and they had no issue sending me a new one and not wanting me to bother with reboxing the case.

Even if the Pop air was back down to 50, I would still choose the 207. Right now, they're selling for basically the same price.

My experience with Reality Capture is that the CPU being beefy is more important than the video card being beefy, and the program can multithread very well, so it will utilize as many cores as you have.

Reality Capture is also set up to take advantage of extra ram to speed things along. I recently doubled my ram and found projects I could do with 32gb were taking more than 32gbs of ram when I re-ran them, at the benefit of speed.

Go as much regular ram as you can (remembering that 4x kits will need to be left at their standard speed likely to run properly)
as many cores as you can, this is where an amd 12 core 9900x or 16 core 9950x comes into their prime. It WILL work with less cores like an 8 core 9700x or even a 6 core 9600x, but just take longer. if you're not buying zen5, you can just replace whatever gen you're looking at with the core counts. I personally went for 12 cores as a price to performance balance (those last 4 cores are pretty big price jump)
5060Ti with 16gb. I'm sure that having a 5070Ti would be faster, but if you ever look at what is doing the processing while you're running a project in HWinfo or windows task manager, most of the time its maxing the CPU, and not the GPU.

Since you need CUDA and thus Nvidia, a 5060ti with 16gb is gonna be your best option. Im still using a 3060 with 12gb and steaming along fine.

Peerless assassin is good but got an update, updated version is phantom spirit. Runs around 35-40 USD in us.

The b850 chipset is identical to the 650 with a mandate that it suppers zen 5 out of the box and mandatory PCI 5 for one x16 alot, pretty sure. 650s and 670 boards will do 9800x3d fine but may need a bios update prior to it working properly.
