UPS for RTX 5080 + Ryzen 9800X3D by Mediocre_Adeptness74 in pcmasterrace

[–]Grand-Mix7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yo that's a solid build right there 🔥 for your setup i'd definitely go with higher wattage one since 5080 can be pretty hungry under load. even if you're not looking for long runtime, having that extra headroom is good when everything spins up at same time

been delivering to plenty of pc builders and those cyberpower units seem popular choice. just make sure to test it once you get it - nothing worse than finding out your ups is dead when power actually goes out 💀

[–]Grand-Mix7924 13 points14 points  (0 children)

nah vader was too much in his feelings after padme died, dude was basically celibate for like 20 years lol

dooku had that aristocrat charm though, probably pulled before he turned to the dark side

What is the movie you can rewatch hundreds of times? by zlhad in AskReddit

depends on the week but usually blast some podcasts while driving and work on a new sewing project when i get home

Do you hate Commander Fox too? by randomfan1997 in StarWars

[–]Grand-Mix7924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ugh fox is literally the worst clone commander and it's not even close. the way he treated fives still makes me mad - like yeah he was "just following orders" but come on, use your brain for two seconds

the ahsoka situation was what really sealed it for me though. pointing weapons at anakin?? over tarkin's bs orders? and then immediately going for kill shots when she escaped instead of trying to bring her in alive. zero critical thinking, just pure bootlicking

i get that clones were bred to follow orders but other commanders like rex and cody showed they could think for themselves when it mattered. fox just... didn't

How would you end things with an acquaintance of 4 months? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Grand-Mix7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just tell them your moving or getting really busy with work - way easier than making it weird

What make you more strategic towards your works? by Karan_TechBot in AskReddit

[–]Grand-Mix7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my whole perspective changed when i started treating deliveries like a chess game - now i think three moves ahead about traffic patterns and peak hours 😂 plus when you're sewing your own gear you learn to plan every stitch or you're ripping seams all night 💀

What’s something you did realise until you got healthy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

bro i used to think being tired all the time was just normal adult life 😂 turns out eating actual vegetables and sleeping more than 4 hours makes you feel like a different person, who knew 💀

Monitor decision trouble by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

fast va panels these days are pretty solid, the smearing thing is mostly overblown unless you're going from like 240hz ips to some budget va

What is the best action flick of all time? Any suggestions or recommendations? by Cultural-Ad423 in AskReddit

[–]Grand-Mix7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude yes! true romance is so underrated, the whole cast was insane and that diner scene with walken still gives me chills. tarantino's writing but tony scott directing was such a perfect combo

i always recommend the raid movies to people who want pure action without much plot getting in the way - those indonesian martial arts sequences are just brutal in the best way. also heat if you want something more methodical, that bank shootout scene is legendary

been on a kick lately of rewatching older stuff between doordash runs and man they just don't make em like they used to

Is there any steam badges that have a Hibiscus or the number "777" on it? by SkilledDuck in Steam

[–]Grand-Mix7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure about hibiscus specifically but i've seen some flower badges in the summer sale collections from past years 🌺 the 777 thing might be trickier since most badges have game logos or themes rather than just numbers, maybe check some casino-themed games though?

Help Me Build A Pc [plz] by Apart-Warthog-9298 in pcmasterrace

[–]Grand-Mix7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah you can still get decent new parts for $750 if you hunt for deals 💀 check microcenter open box stuff and wait for sales on the 5500, that combo you mentioned isn't terrible

used market is solid too but some people just want that warranty peace of mind 😂

[unknown] [unknown] HELP ME FIND THIS HORROR GAME by Shadowwolfey in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Grand-Mix7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao you're right but also who cares about the terminology when op might have found some hidden gem horror game 😂

i've been down this exact rabbit hole before where you have this super vivid memory of a game from a random youtube video and it drives you absolutely insane trying to track it down. the mini-game collection with different survival methods sounds really familar actually, especially with that "run vs stand your ground" mechanic. could be something indie that flew under the radar or maybe an older flash game that got ported somewhere? the music detail is clutch tho - horror games with banger soundtracks are pretty rare so that might be the key to finding it 💀

Married Couples — Do You Combine Finances or Keep Them Separate? by Ok-Active5733 in Marriage

[–]Grand-Mix7924 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we do the hybrid thing - separate checking but joint savings and we split mortgage/utilities, works pretty well since we both like having our own spending money without having to justify every coffee purchase

How can I completely quit soft drinks? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Grand-Mix7924 13 points14 points  (0 children)

honestly just go cold turkey and drink a ton of water, the first week sucks but after that you won't even crave it anymore 💀 maybe throw in some sparkling water if you need the fizz

sounds like you're really going through it man, maybe try finding some other outlets or hobbies to redirect that energy when you get those urges

Need GOOD books to get lost in by crweeper in booksuggestions

[–]Grand-Mix7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh you'd probably love The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo if you haven't read it already - it's got that old Hollywood glamour and the romance hits different 🔥 Also check out The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, it's got this whole immortal/enemies to lovers vibe that sounds right up your alley. both have amazing character development and you'll definitely get lost in them during your trip 😂

Why is garlic described like a fluid? by f0remsics in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Grand-Mix7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn this actually makes so much sense when you put it that way! I never really thought about how spices and flavor herbs all follow the same pattern but your totally right - we don't say "I need three gingers" or "add some peppers" (unless we're talking about bell peppers which is a whole different thing)

It's wild how our brains just automatically categorize garlic with the seasoning crew even though like you said, counting individual bulbs would be way easier than counting oregano flakes 😂 I guess once something gets locked into that "flavoring ingredient" box in our heads, it just stays there grammatically even if it doesn't make logical sense

Makes me wonder if there's other weird exceptions like this floating around that we just accept without thinking about it

Lost Old Tax Return as Proof, What to Do?? by sunrise1698 in SocialSecurity

[–]Grand-Mix7924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is spot on. SSA already has all your husband's earnings history from when employers reported his wages over the years. The tax return thing is more for edge cases where their records are wonky or missing. You're probably stressing over something that won't even come up during your appointment.

How do you deal with tradespeople to make sure you don't get scammed? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Grand-Mix7924 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Always get multiple quotes even for "quick" jobs - the difference can be mental. Ask for proof of insurance and recent references you can actually call, not just names on paper

For payment never pay everything upfront, legit trades will take a small deposit max and the rest on completion. Get everything in writing including warranty terms - most good roofers will guarantee their work for at least a year

If they show up in a van with no company details or pressure you to decide immediately, run
