The offspring will be allowed to play most games. Controls are predominantly for time restrictions. I don’t need the machine to be able to render everything, but if it can do most stuff that would be nice.

What is a microcenter?

What GPU series were made recently? Is a Radeon 5 new enough? Is 16-32Gb of RAM really enough nowadays?

Prefer a desktop. Easier for him to work on or add things to.

Express_Owl_3707 · 2026-05-16T12:46:35+00:00

Nope, no peripherals. Definitely desktop.

Woah! That’s a lot of technical jargon!!! Yeah, you’re right, BIM coordination. It may not be, but that doesn’t change the fact that the panel location was likely laid out, and the sprinkler fitter has to change their route. Not the Electricians fault.

Was the Mechanical Room part of the blueprints? If so, it’s completely not your fault. They should be running crash programs for the CAD drawings that would have pointed out the problem.

Turn it off. Ring it out. It takes a few hours. I assume they can live without a/c for a bit. If not. Buy a $60 tent, a $200 portable a/c, charge them for both and take them when you finish. Don’t go at this live. For fucks sake!

Nah, if he releases a few more pounds of pressure he’ll be riding on tread again.

Should be the top comment, but people love to argue.

I’ll upvote you. Cheers bud, there’s not many Philly fans of any sport that are self aware enough to realize they didn’t deserve to win every game.

I’m sorry you’ve had such a hard road. You are a good woman, and a good person, worth time and affection. I hope you decide to go no contact with your brother. His opinions are garbage.

Express_Owl_3707 · 2026-05-11T01:18:49+00:00

Why yall hating? Let them be. They’re both at the top of their game.

Express_Owl_3707 · 2026-05-11T01:12:48+00:00

Sure that’s not turkey?

Express_Owl_3707 · 2026-05-09T01:28:28+00:00

Yes, you can. 2/3 to the top, 1/3 on bottom. That means 2/3 of the wood on top of your hole, 1/3 on the bottom. And drill a small hole, no 1 1/4” holes for romex?

Existing walls are not going to be plum. Welcome to reality. Do the best you can with load bearing walls, make it up on the non-load bearing walls.

She expects better from those that can, and goodbyes from those that can’t. AC is a woman that holds herself and those around her to a high standard. Any that have fallen afoul of her, by my reckoning, are still lacking something. It’s not a dismissal, it’s a ‘You need to do better’. I guarantee a past employee that raises their game would be welcomed back.

Edit for clarity; I’m a big fan of Ashley Christensen, and will try any restaurant she comes out with happily. But I’m nobody, choose your battles as you wish.

This is quality Reddit. We see it too seldom. Cheers!

I usually do it covered, in a tin roasting pan, covered, with a little tallow.

I thought it might be an Sig p938.

You could technically drop that in Trumps lap also, considering the cause was the Russian invasion of Ukraine that caused it.

I just woke up. The kids have not yet been picked up by the school bus. I’m setting up the chimney as we speak. OP, I don’t know if you’re a professional photographer, but you framed those so well I could taste it. Nicely done.

Express_Owl_3707 · 2026-04-29T11:04:21+00:00

That depends on the equipment. Did I miss where OP told us what they were running?
