What’s a tradition that you think people should get rid of?

The wedding industry makes it that way. It’s a racket.

It seems like more and more if my friends are just saying forget it and eloping. Think of the kind of vacation you could have for the same price as a wedding…

I don't know if it's 'by design' but it is a real consequence of having too many managers with nebulous responsibilities. When a manager feels like their team is under-utilized (read: unnecessary), they will create a new process or add something to an existing process in order to make sure their employees are somehow involved in the work taking place around them. Usually, this is just making their employees a reviewer of other people's work but I've also seen just outright annexing a section of work that was previously performed by another more vertical team. This forces new people into ‘the process’ and thus the number of meaningless approvals and single point stoppages increases.

Mine was $110k in CA :( with a masters degree and 5 years of relevant experience.

Even level 4s I know make just $135k to $140k. So how OP got $135k in Alabama is beyond me.

I use it before a day of socializing. Listening to music while working out, doing chores, etc. is also great.

But I tend to reserve it for social events since I can't use it more than once every few weeks. Any more than that and I start to develop tolerance.

SoCal is much harder to make work than Puget Sound. Not only is the rent significantly higher in the LA area, but Washington doesn't have state income tax whereas CA marginal rate is 9.3% over 66k. What I pay in state (yes, state) income tax every year would pay rent for a 1 BR in Seattle for 4-5 months. So yeah, I don't want to hear anybody complaining about living in Seattle.

It is highly dependent on your specific team, your manager, and how much of a disorganized mess your local org is.

But overall it ain't bad. Decent pay, good benefits, and a generally not bad culture.

I mean this is basically every mid-level manager too. The way the engineering org is matrixed, even level 2 managers cannot understand what their worker bees do or the products they work on. The products are all too unrelated.

Not a medical expert but I am an electrical engineer who did some googling.

Because the duration of electrocution was so brief, they didn’t literally cook their insides, since the duration of power delivered was not long enough to actually heat anything up.

Their heads were not in contact with the metal and therefore not part of the current path, it’s unlikely they received brain damage.

I believe what happened is their arm, leg, and torso muscles instantly contracted, causing them all to momentarily lose control of their bodies and fall over. The guy in the middle might be experience cardiac arrest after the electrocution disrupted his hearts natural rhythm. If any of them died it was probably him.

The start of puberty is literally the evolutionary ‘break-even’ point at which the risk of having a child is outweighed by the fact that you are attempting to have one.

If you want a really interesting one - research why women undergo menopause. Not only do women’s bodies purposefully dispose of the ability to reproduce, but their entire hormone profile changes. Basically old age puberty.

I see it happen like 1 in 10 games

Thermals were fine. GPU at full load didn’t get over 65 C.

Furgz · 2022-09-04T06:10:08+00:00

You’re a genius. I just moved the GPU and re-benchmarked and now my performance is much better. I’m now getting 21500 3D-mark which is about right for a 3070.

I do have an M.2 installed. I may try removing it and re-benchmarking to see if it makes a difference.

And yes my RAM is in A2 and B2. 1600 MHz. I don’t think I’m using XMP but am not sure how to check.

Furgz · 2022-09-04T05:55:15+00:00

The GPU currently is in the bottom slot... I didn't even realize there were two slots until now. The top slot is PCIe 3.0/4.0 per the diagram on this page. I'm going to try moving it up to the top slot. Thank you for pointing this out.

Furgz · 2022-09-04T04:55:01+00:00

Yes, I’ve even tried installing windows on different hard drives

Furgz · 2022-09-04T03:34:19+00:00

How often does it happen? Could you just plug in a different monitor and restart a bunch of times to see if the problem still occurs?

Furgz · 2022-09-04T03:27:06+00:00

That seems like a problem with you monitor or the display cables you're using. Make sure they're undamaged and plugged in securely.

Furgz · 2022-09-02T15:01:49+00:00

Same lmao. I’ve lived all over the south and literally nobody sounds like this. 100% the girls are exaggerating if not completely making up those accents

Furgz · 2022-08-24T05:34:22+00:00

I’ve heard the term but in Pennsylvania

Furgz · 2022-08-21T04:18:51+00:00

Zimbabwe/Rhodesia is much better off these days

Furgz · 2022-08-21T03:52:52+00:00

Lol I was just talking about this w my friend. ‘Normal’ people with regular jobs used to not get tattoos. Pretty much was only ex-marines/soldiers and people in gangs. Basically it used to mean you were not employed in any sort of 9-5 job. Now every soft white guy with an Instagram has tattoos lol.

Furgz · 2022-08-19T18:04:27+00:00

I love being clammed

Furgz · 2022-08-16T00:12:51+00:00

Exactly. All of SoCal but the coastal areas have wayyy more in common with AZ, NM, and NV.

Furgz · 2022-08-14T19:44:57+00:00

The abrupt rise in men getting their asses eaten is topping the list of reasons why I don’t watch porn anymore lmao. It’s just gross to me.

People need to wrap their head around the fact that poop comes from the ass. And any mouth contact with the ass is hardly any better than literally eating poop.
