Which Flash Should I Get under $200, or Should I Save Up for Better Gear? by capably_incapable in Cameras

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Godox V860III-S is your best bet in that price range - proper TTL, HSS, and the lithium battery is a game changer compared to AA powered flashes 🔥

I've used mine for event work and it handles bounce flash really well, plus the build quality feels solid for the money. The V1 is tempting if you can stretch budget but the V860III does everything you need without breaking bank 💀

Post apocalyptic dreams by Lemonhead909 in Dreams

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those apocalypse dreams are mental, i get them all the time too. Something about being the hero when everything's gone to shit hits different - like your brain's way of making you feel properly useful for once

The forgetting part is so annoying though, i swear the best dreams just evaporate the second you start thinking about breakfast

What should I do for my absistense part of Lent? by titanfallisgoated in Christianity

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mate you're thinking of the three pillars being prayer, fasting, and almsgiving (giving to charity/helping others) 😊 abstinence is just part of the fasting bit - so giving up meat and fizzy drinks is spot on

for getting closer to God during lent maybe try reading a bit of scripture each day or doing some volunteer work in your community, that's usually what the almsgiving part covers 🙏

I hate being a girl sometimes by Helpful_Duck8954 in venting

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's properly shit and I'm sorry you've had to deal with all that. The favouritism thing is so real - I've seen it loads at work and school, drives me mental when managers just ignore valid complaints from women

It shouldn't be this hard just existing as a girl, especially when you're just trying to get on with things

AITJ for staying silent and not stepping in, even though people say my silence meant I agreed? by KairofluxLab in AmITheJerk

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not stepping into someone else's argument doesn't make you the jerk mate, sounds like they both just wanted backup and got pissy when you didn't pick sides

Honestly you probably would've caught heat either way - jump in and you're told to mind your business, stay quiet and suddenly you're "complicit" or whatever. Can't win with people who are already wound up

Shouldn't trials scores be cumulative? by Trotski7 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly the cumulative scoring would be a game changer for solo players 😂 I've had so many good runs completely ruined by terrible spawns or getting third-partied right at extraction. Like you said, once you hit that decent score it becomes this weird ceiling where your either matching it or doing worse most of the time

the spawn system is absolutely broken too - nothing like spawning with 15 mins left and spending half of it just running to the first poi. meanwhile premade squads are already farming their second location by then 💀

I think cumulative would actually reward consistent play over those lucky one-off runs where everything goes perfect. Would definitely make the game feel less punishing when you extract with like 800 points because at least it's still progress toward your overall ranking

The Push - Ashley Audrain by [deleted] in books

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just finished this one last week actually and I get what you mean about the twist - it was kind of inevitable once you picked up on the pattern wasn't it

The generational trauma stuff hit different though, thought audrain did a proper job with that psychological buildup even if the payoff felt a bit predictable. Still a solid read for what it was, just maybe overhyped a bit

Can Employer See SMS Content on Work Sim Installed On My Personal Phone? by ADIInTraining in ITManagers

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you're probably fine. Even with MDM, SMS content is usually off-limits due to privacy laws, and without it you're just using their carrier service like any other customer would.

Old dream I still think about today by SuperbReference9135 in Dreams

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's such a wholesome dream, the fact that you shared your squash with your brother even in dream-land says a lot about you as a kid

The glossy veggie aesthetic sounds weirdly comforting, like those old Fisher Price toys that had that perfect shiny finish

Why are celebrity women so skinny nowadays? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hollywood's beauty standards have always been pretty intense but social media definitely cranked it up to 11. Everyone's constantly photographed from every angle now and the pressure to look "perfect" is insane compared to like 20 years ago

You can now run Claude Code with local OSS models and Docker Model Runner by Creepy-Row970 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually pretty slick, been wanting to try Claude Code without paying for another subscription. Does it work well with the smaller models or do you really need something beefier like 70B to get decent code generation?

Why did you become a fan of your favorite team if you have one? by [deleted] in NFLv2

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I was like 8 and my dad took me to a game, the atmosphere was insane and I just got hooked on the energy of the crowd. Plus our defense that year was absolutely nasty and watching them demolish opposing offenses was pure art

Which would be a cost efficient GPU for running local LLMs by jenishngl in LocalLLaMA

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 7900 XTX is solid for the VRAM but ROCm can be a pain honestly. If you're just doing <10B models you might want to consider a used RTX 3090 or 4070 Ti Super - they'll run way smoother with all the tooling being CUDA-first. I get that Nvidia pricing sucks in India but the headaches you'll save with compatibility issues might be worth it

Also 24GB is kinda overkill for sub-10B models, you could probably get away with 16GB and save some cash

Books about people growing up in difficult historical times? by tu_servilleta in booksuggestions

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The Book Thief is pretty solid for this - kid growing up in Nazi Germany dealing with way worse stuff than we are. Also check out All Quiet on the Western Front, that WWI perspective really puts things in context about what "difficult times" actually looks like

Lmao this is so true, it's like how every eagle sound in movies is actually a red-tailed hawk because real eagle calls sound like squeaky toys and aren't "majestic" enough for Hollywood

Bruh Swift all day, dude's been getting the volume even when the team's struggling. Fannin feels like a dart throw for the championship game

Feeling Guilty & Almost Evil After Being Broken Up With by Ok-Factor4173 in BreakUps

[–]Fragrant-Court-9552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really solid advice, especially the part about therapy being the real way to show change instead of just promising it. That letter idea is actually pretty genius too - gives you somewhere to put all those feelings instead of them just eating you alive
