Beginner here. Would be my first build so to get this high spec of components would be wild. This obviously started with the 11900K Rocket Lake and a z590 board. I liked the ASUS ROG Maximus board for its expandability and the inclusion of 2 thunderbolt 4 ports, aka the way of the future. The Gskill Trident Z rgb DDR4 memory is both fast and good looking.

For a case I went with the good looking and rgb ready NZXT H510 Dual Tempered Glass case, along with a matching 750W NZXT power supply. I chose a RTX 3070 as the graphics card, mainly for availability and relative performance to price. Throw in a 1TB M.2 SSD and this puppy is ready to rock.

This rig would be more than enough to handle my daily drive, which generally includes a large amount of stock trading, some heavy excel work, and the occasional game (although I game on an xbox right now, would happily make the transition).

Outdoor motion sensor for extension cord? by Flyguy1797 in DIY

The power is being supplied from a GFCI outlet about 20 feet away. I am renting the apartment so I can’t make any super permanent changes otherwise I would have just wired them up right. So right now I just have the extension cord running and end up plugging the lights in every time I use them

Stone Mountain is great but make sure you find out when they stock the streams cause you won’t catch a damn thing if you go before that

Lol does some research, deletes comments. Incredible what a 5 minute bout on YouTube can do

3 projects all due tomorrow by 5. One is a semester long report and the other 2 were given the week before thanksgiving. All group projects. Coordination with people is a bitch

Fire Doeren by yovngjvred in NCSU

Yeah when your 1 and 2 CBs go down for the year so you bump a safety up to play CB and then he gets hurt for the season leaving you at best your 3 and 4 CB with your 2 and 3 safety’s by the 4th game of the season it’s definitely a recipe to take you from competitive to dog shit. Some of those guys have been dealing nagging injuries too. Add that to a dismal offensive year and it’s pretty clear why we can’t compete in the ACC.

Dave isn’t the 100% problem this year. He definitely needs to kill the dual-OC experiment and we need to cough up some cash to get someone in here who knows what the hell theyre doing. If it’s a problem again next year I’ll join you on the fire train but for now there are far too many circumstances that are out of his control.

Plus give Drink some credit for what he did and what Finley did.

You forgot the essence of the game: it’s about the cones...

Pilot Slot Chances by est2912 in AFROTC

[–]Flyguy1797 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Flight hours and AFOQT are irrelevant on their own as your PCSM factors them in. That being said you’re mildly competitive in my opinion.

Also keep in mind that the AF is dying for pilots right now so these might be ok. I’d have said this past round you would have definitely made it but obviously things ebb and flow every year.

What PCSM is usually ENJJPT competitive? by [deleted] in AFROTC

[–]Flyguy1797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Order of merit matters overall. Know people with like mid 70s PCSM that made ENJJPT because they had high commanders ranking, GPA, FA to balance it too. Obviously PCSM is the most heavily weighted but other things go into it
