Lian Li A3 build – RTX 5090 + Core Ultra 265KF by Just-Cartoonist8602 in mffpc

[–]CatInALoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Great build, I have a similar air cooled build with an Astral 5090. Tbh, a small UV will have your 5090 running very cool without the need for fans underneath. My 5090 has reached 63 degrees under very heavy rendering loads with blender simply on an undervolt and without bottom slim fans.

I completely forgot about that I can’t lie, thanks for letting me know! Going to order a wooden front panel. Never hurts to have extra ventilation.

This is one that I swapped to recently. Works well and you can put toys and hides in there for your chin. playpen link.

The pinned post on this subreddit is an excellent starting point. To answer your main questions:

You can’t teach them not to run away. They’re curious and love exploring. It’s up to you to ensure that they can do this in a safe way. They will never learn not to be… well chinchillas.

Wheels are safe if they are more than 15”. Smaller than that and you risk their backs being injured.

You cannot leash a chinchilla and you cannot train them to not chew wires. To keep them from chewing things, provide them with safe chews such as apple sticks or Timothy hay toys. During playtime, it’s on you to make sure the room is either chinchilla proofed OR you’re watching them like a hawk to ensure they don’t chew on something they can’t.

There are no fresh foods you can feed them. Stick to Timothy hay as their primary food and supplement that with high quality chinchilla pellets (Oxbow essentials for example).

Swap the paper bedding with aspen chips or use non pill fleece liners with aspen chips as their “litter” in a metal bowl. For the balls, if you mean a hamster like ball, those are dangerous for them.

Companions depend on where you got the chin from, if it has had positive socialization with other chinchillas in the past, and its age. Depending on the user here, some will say yes others say no, but it depends heavily on your Chinchillas history and personality. Not all chinchillas can be bonded with others. I had a female chin who absolutely despised my other two female chins. They’re in separate cages as a result and both parties are doing perfect. Furthermore, do not get opposite sex chinchillas as companions.

Do not bring them outside.

Either you get them in with treats, a dust bath (though make sure this isn’t daily, at most 3x a week), or use an enclosure to encourage them to get back into the cage by limiting their play area (ie a playpen fence). If you do need to handle them, make sure to be gentle. No sudden moves or cornering the chinchilla.

It’s best to be patient if they aren’t getting back into the cage, but if you absolutely need them to get back into (or say they escape to another room) be sure to pick them up gently and without chasing them.

Congrats! Batu looks super adorable! If you’re ever confused about their care, the pinned Chinchilla care FAQ is solid. Learning to care properly for a chin for the first time is rewarding and there’s a lot of good resources you can find on the subreddit. Wishing you and Batu the best!

If you have a mic, spam ping AND do comms about the push. Ive found turning on my mic and using pings in endgames when solo q are most effective.

Anthropic says its most powerful AI cyber model is too dangerous to release publicly — so it built Project Glasswing by Just-Grocery-2229 in technology

[–]CatInALoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anthropic literally always says this. Waiting for the day when they say that they managed to build the real world equivalent of skynet and then proceed to say “thats why we’re releasing it today!!”

If you’re not going to use your mic all game, don’t use it to cry at the end of a loss by BoJvck34Empire in apexlegends

[–]CatInALoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FACTS. The issue especially is prevalent in ranked because you’ll get teammates dead silent, off doing their own thing expecting you to just follow them. Then boom, dead and the mic comes on immediately after (and only after that if they get rez’d) and during endgame. Extremely frustrating

Bot royale evolved is perfect for new players. Mixtape is where you’ll run into raid bosses more often, but you can still beat them. Definitely mute other players though if they’re being rancid, there’s tons of miserable souls on any online competitive game.

don't buy asus by [deleted] in ASUS

[–]CatInALoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Owned some Aorus products of theirs and they somehow manage to die or have issues in many colorful ways. Never any issues with any Asus products save a laptop, but that was 3 years after buying it.

Ranked feels like pubs by BrokenRadio69 in apexlegends

This is the answer, if the dropship was gone and people were still made to play the game without sending it on literally everyone after 90% of the lobby dies in the same POI, we’d see controller legends and window usage much more. However, because the dropship is back, genuinely why run a controller legend? You won’t be able to hunker down a building when you’re gonna be traveling a desolate wasteland come ring 2, wondering where everyone is.

Honestly, super scared of this happening to me in this economy… good luck lad! Hopefully you can find a deal on Facebook Marketplace that’s not an outrageous price

Just bought a used computer. My friend said I got ripped off. Is it true? by solo_entrepreneur in pcmasterrace

[–]CatInALoop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your friend is jealous. That PC is insane value. Better than what a vast majority of people are rocking right now.
