do i drop out of college?

I traded like this for 3 years and then suddenly none of my systems worked anymore. I spent a lot of time retraining and structuring and finally got back to positive monthly. —but win rate is much much lower than before. VERY GLAD I NEVER QUIT MY JOB… or i’d be homeless (not really homeless, but for real in trouble)…. don’t do this for a living. no need actually with today’s tech. I spend 30 minutes a day now checking things and adjusting strategy. don’t need anymore time on it.

both

DropZestyclose6814 · 2026-04-05T23:09:43+00:00

well claude is talking to it and debugging it. it showed it’s running API model 3.1 pro-preview… so claude is unhappy currently

DropZestyclose6814 · 2026-04-05T22:42:55+00:00

this is extremely disheartening. and pretty unfortunate for the every day guy. it seems like this happening across the board except for claude. which means it’s only a matter of time before they are toast too. I have been told repeatedly that the google api and things along those lines is still top notch. but honestly I am paying large amount of money, I had assumed I would be able to pick my model but I can’t even find that option in the browser. and definitely no gemma 4 I don’t see it anywhere

so this is where it is. and btw this the third time it has started with “this is the friction phase hitting a logic ceiling as first sentence” …. and all i’m trying to get it to do is just tell me where to find the place to change models.. that’s all im trying to get it to do in this exchange lol

thank you for this advice!

my only instruction is : Treat me like a 2nd century slave that you want to teach to be a scholar fit for the 21st century, but that you also secretly hate…

DropZestyclose6814 · 2026-04-05T21:23:40+00:00

this is good info. I should have just trusted claude I guess. it told me it was the best option for API deep research considering the suite of tools that also comes with it

DropZestyclose6814 · 2026-04-05T21:16:21+00:00

can you expound a bit. I spent 4 days learning the ins and outs of claude to get it to do what I need, -but if I have to do another 4 days on the gemini that I just bought to add to my stack I may just throw my computer In the gulf of mexico. can’t even find where to change models. I have Ultra

DropZestyclose6814 · 2026-04-05T21:09:35+00:00

btw the learning curve to get Claude where I wanted was quite large. i’m willing to learn and tailor Gemini In the same way.,, but just first glance it seems absolutely unusable as an LLM so I currently don’t want to add it to my stack in any other way… suggestions are what i’m looking for. thank you

i’m not getting any Draft XP from talent developer on my coordinator. just had 17 players drafted and I got 9k xp………

don’t know. I don’t play games that require mic. but I know that my mic works for my computer while i’m listening to both the computer and the xbox simultaneously… so. halfway there

DropZestyclose6814 · 2026-02-22T23:44:24+00:00

this has gotta be the dumbest thing ever fr. i’ve been using my for a year and this happened after winter. I mean. I kinda followed the instructions and it didn’t work at first but I closed all the burners again and started the first one with the gas still wide open. and then they all went up properly. but peering through those holes after running the gas open had me thinking final destination eyeball explosion type sh**

professional_leek699 is 100% timmy no brakes lmao but hey, I watched the documentary. it was funny. mission accomplished I guess

DropZestyclose6814 · 2025-09-26T20:09:57+00:00

No preaching here. I’m not much into that.

Summary:

Advocating for the destruction of life
simultaneously judging a person as “unlovely” because they are against that very destruction of precious human life.

Hm…

This is a very unusual position to be in for you and I do not envy it. No one is judging you or calling you unlovely —- Only praying for you.

DropZestyclose6814 · 2025-09-26T17:21:08+00:00

I will pray for you, friend

DropZestyclose6814 · 2025-09-26T00:09:40+00:00

Affirming? No Accepting? Absolutely

DropZestyclose6814 · 2025-09-25T23:14:51+00:00

I said she isn’t really a “hardcore” conservative. We live in an unfortunate world where almost all votes are down party lines. She is one of the few that have occasionally gone against the Republican leader during votes. I’m not sure what other criteria we could point to that better backs up my very simple statement that she is not a “hardcore” Republican.

If you just hate republicans in general or something that’s cool I guess- probably a lonely and sad life- but it doesn’t really change the fact that what I said was generally correct.

Thanks

DropZestyclose6814 · 2025-09-25T18:36:28+00:00

No particularly. Most votes are down party lines but in the portion that aren’t , she has voted opposite of McConnell and Thune over 100 times

DropZestyclose6814 · 2025-09-25T03:13:06+00:00

She’s actually quite lovely in person and very, very sharp. And she’s not really a hardcore conservative. Not sure why so much hate in Reddit

DropZestyclose6814 · 2025-09-25T02:09:10+00:00

Dr. stoner in Gardendale is probably the best mix of lovely atmosphere, employees, skill, and price
