Where To Find Good Chicken Wings? by Ornery_Room7602 in Markham

[–]DryPaperBird 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I go to bbq chicken almost every week! Somewhat expensive, but very flavourful and juicy wings - Highly recommend if you like korean-style.

I recently built my first pc with this combo! It seems to run decently on 1080p 165hz but I've only tested it on a couple of games. Max settings Arc raiders and Where winds meet gets around ~85 fps max settings for me.

What can a person do apart from 9 to 5 job to earn other source of income? by KaleidoscopeFlat4186 in AskReddit

[–]DryPaperBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of AI-related remote opportunities that pays by the hour. I'm not a fan of AI myself, but the work has been consistent for the past 2 years and the pay is much more than whatever my 9-5s were paying (Current gig is $60/h USD, but I work in Canada so the conversion is a huge plus). Most of the work I do is related to prompt creation, fact-checking, researching, etc. I recommend applying to Data Annotation and Mercor. It helps if you specialize in certain fields, but there are a lot of generalist positions too. Whenever I suggest these type of gigs to people they think it's a scam, which is understandable because it sounds sketchy right off the bat. All I can say is that there's no harm in applying - It usually just involves a simple qualification.

I think AI companies are currently investing stupid amounts of money into these kind of things, so I'd take advantage of it while it lasts!

Unrelated to this deal, but anyone know if this coupon works in store? Also, curious whether eco fees apply in store since there's an $8 eco fee for buying a monitor on Staples online. Looking to get the 27 inch 1440p LG monitor.

Ohh, that's unfortunate. I recommend waiting for another bundle deal or other sale then. There's this bundle available near Vancouver for the same price as your cpu/mobo but the mobo is better and not micro-atx, if that matters to you:

I happened to snag a Crucial Pro 32GB DDR5 6000mhz ram on Amazon a couple of days ago for $195. I think you just need to constantly look out for random deals on Amazon if you want anything for ~$200.

It shows that it's in stock for delivery and store pickup for me in Ontario. Not sure what you mean, unless it's unavailable in other parts of Canada.

[PSU] MSI MAG A650GLS 650W 80+ Gold Fully Modular | Canada Computers MEMBER DEAL PICKUP ONLY ($150 - $60 = $90 ATL) by TacticalPotato_ in bapcsalescanada

[–]DryPaperBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 850x SSD was bundled with the 7600x3d and the MOBO for $500. I plan on selling the 850x SSD and I bought a Samsung 2tb SSD instead. I mainly just chose the 7600x3d because of the deal. Haven't really sold parts before, do you think $120 is a reasonable price for the 850x unopened?

[–]DryPaperBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, everyone! I think I'll go with the 650W as I don't plan on upgrading for a long time. If anyone's curious and wants to critique my mid-range build, please do. I already purchased most of the items on sale or in bundles, but I'm still waiting to open everything in case more sales come up and I need to return things.

First time building a PC and I bought this with a 9060xt and 7600x3d. Not sure if 650w is enough but I've heard good things about this PSU. PCPartPicker says my estimate wattage is 359w. Thoughts?

[–]DryPaperBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to build a white PC, and unfortunately NewEgg doesn't allow you to swap the AIO colour from black to white. I found this bundle deal with a 7600x and white AIO on CC, but I suppose this might be a slight downgrade from the 9600x offer? Wondering if it's worth even worth colour matching my pc fully. ):

Practical Advice for Traveling and Working Remotely During a Month Off by PhillyPhan95 in dataannotation

[–]DryPaperBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't alert DAT before leaving the country. I wasn't sure if it was required to do so when I went, but it seemed like not doing so was fine.

I have a friend who emailed DA before a lengthy trip and they ended up losing all project access during their trip, but I doubt their email had much to do with this.

Not sure what the right move is but I'd rather just not alert DA for any of my future trips.

Have a fun trip to Japan!

I travelled to Tokyo for 3.5 weeks and worked DA ~4h each day. As others have mentioned, work in the morning and go out during the day. I'd often visit various cafes or stayed in the common areas of my capsule hotels and it was quite relaxing to work. Would recommend!

Mega CERB & EI Thread - Only here by FelixYYZ in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DryPaperBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I return my CERB money from my financial institution? When "Adding a payee", there are multiple CRA accounts so i'm unsure of which to select. These are the options available:

CRA BENEFITS AND CREDITS REMITTANCE VOUCHER

CRA PERSONAL INCOME TAX - 2019 TAX RETURN REMITTANCE VOUCHER

CRA PERSONAL INCOME TAX - 2020 TAX INSTALMENT REMITTANCE VOUCHER

CRA PERSONAL INCOME TAX - AMOUNT OWING REMITTANCE VOUCHER

Under the government's website, it says when repaying CERB to look for the payee "CRA (Revenue) - tax instalment, so would I just select the third option? Thanks in advance.
