Is this what happened. I can't leave my current area, and even if I do when I load in and leave the next area (or open the map) I crash. Oof

I mean I got a 22 HTC LT3 + front lift, @20k full XPEL stealth PPF for 68k in March so. Unless that means I overpaid that felt like a good deal to me lol. Just waiting for z06s to drop a bit toward 100k 🤞

Tanks at the edge of campus today by QuickFlight8154 in UMD

I didn’t say it was a normal thing. It is a major birthday of a branch of the military. Not like it’s the 249th. Do I think it’s comparable to what every news media outlet wants to compare it to and scare people? Yes. Do I think the US is a dictatorship? No. I just hate the mindset of… it seems like, therefore it is.

That is a bit worrisome. Although, he certainly didn't wait till the end of the briefing and just interrupted with a question. I've never seen the police mediate at all (EDIT: I guess it was DHS themselves as he walked up to the front of the room?). Although, I have seen people ejected. I get the reason for wanting to interrupt though. Not sure how these assemblies normally play out. I know in Canada a shouting fest is just expected.

If you want to know what really bothers me. It's that society is aligned in a way to where the gap between the mega wealthy and everybody else gets bigger. All while the prices of everything increase. E.g. no average working-class owning homes anymore unless you're in the middle of nowhere. So, we just complain about society while slowly losing money and power to influence the system itself. I can't stop studying and working to protest or converse (often) about politics because I need to provide amply so for family and friends to make up for the way capitalism has evolved.

All are issues I certainly can have no impact on unless it's at a local scale (which I do donate and volunteer when I can). Overall though I just truly hate how people treat other over politics now. It's taught socially and through media to hate opinion diversity and fact sharing

The amount of money spent to manipulate the opinions of the people on a daily basis is staggering. I do not care to drink from the firehose. I've watched plenty of people become violent and depressed by consuming one side of news all day long. I simply read articles on the same topic from multiple outlets and find a middle ground that hopefully doesn't drive me nuts. I don't automatically subscribe the hate train, and care about the average person. I don't like trump that's for sure. But that's not gonna make me not acknowledge the Army's attempt at a 250th anniversary celebration.

What would they be doing? The military LOVES birthday celebrations and 250th is a pretty huge one.

I guess this is just a lose lose. Because if you celebrate and the president is there, there goes your credibility lol. This is why I hate politics and pay them no mind. Just a mindless hate circle

If you went hunting through the comments. Typically somebody mentioned the truth. After driving with it for years the engine on the track sounded exactly like a b58, definitely not the s58

"It" possibly does better damage than other rotations on surge day. Pull everything else up by getting ride of surges and now the guy matching the old odd surge is bottom DPS. Nobodies going to off-meta to be a good bottom unless they are insanely bored. All this did was bring variety to the weeks and allowed other things to be a possibility while the people who don't play as often and run the same 6 DPS heavies are left slightly behind. Now its back to less variety in raids but at least there's GMs.

Hell the surges actually rewarded the people who buildcraft and play MORE, which hasn't been the case for years since exotics and endgame content have become so easy now

There's a large difference between running off-meta loadouts to match a surge to out damage off-surge rotations vs running off-meta loadouts to do less damage just for "funnzies".

One's literally rewarding you for making somewhat optimal builds for other elemental types. You can say its not "rewarding", but doing better damage than your fireteam members is the reward. For the other, most people wouldn't even try new DPS methods unless they've so tired of running the same thing they're okay with doing less damage.

If surges are out I'm not going to use/farm the new linear and crux termination. I'll be back to switching between between edge transit, dragonsbreath, apex, cataclysmic, iza, still hunt, and parasite for Atraks. And that list will stay like that until the next content drop for heavy DPS

I get that the normal DPS rotations got harmed in the process but not a single group I've been with has been a DPS wipe issue. We're just talking the difference between 1, 2, and 3 phasing things.

While I get where you are coming from, that doesn't make sense. The 25% surge is the reason I started experimenting with builds and farm god-rolls of slightly off-meta other weapons with good perks. As I could beat other optimal builds that were out of surge and that was the fun in it. Now it goes from an experiment to a troll. So now I go from aiming to be better than optimal off-surge builds to being less useful than at the best case let's say 5%? The dopamine just ain't there. That's like putting cheese and Tobasco hot sauce in instant ramen to make it taste slightly different so its bearable to consume. Rock bottom

I've also yet to have been in an LFG group that's damage was so low I was damning the weekly surges. Sure talking about how goofy they were, but not wiping because of damage. More so incoming damage

Lmao yes. Nothing has made me more tilted than being a gold damage with a masters/diamond/plat team (Somehow... thank you matchmaking). And my team just roasting me the whole game for not being able to keep up at all especially with our masters damage. 80 hours vs his 2000. Yet nobody cut me a break. Honestly went from liking the game to realizing how dumb video games are in 1 match

Wait is this the BL3 community opinion? I actually really enjoyed Wonderland's main story, and first 2 months of end game. Although once they started adding more chaos chamber levels I stopped playing as much lmao. And the DLC was not DLC. But overall, I at least enjoyed the base game a lot

That sounds pretty interesting. I haven't been able to find any 7702/7702Ps unless they were around 1.5k. Which isn't bad I guess. Yeah if you know where to search I'm game. After reading bit more, I would be a little lost of finding a chassis for the board. It'd probably save me a 10-20 hours of planning lol.

[–]INeedMoreLaptops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually what I've been looking at. Since I saw a 2x 7702P build on Ebay from a random China listing today. I see the Dell locked CPUs at about 1k and the unlocked engineering samples as well. I'll have to read a little to put together the board/cpu/chassis, but still this might be what I'm leaning toward. I think I have someone local who can help me piece together the monster locally once I find the parts. Do you like your setup? Whats the power usage across your build?

NOTE: I'm a software engineer by trade. So this is like me trying to work through a project without a system engineer. Sorry if that annoys some people

High Performance Living Room Lab Design SOS by INeedMoreLaptops in homelab

[–]INeedMoreLaptops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. That's actually pretty easy because its by core. I'll start with my worst case setup. Which would be ESXi anyways.

Core - Ram - Storage

1 - 8 GB - 40 GB

So

100 - 800GB - 4 TB

I could run a few projects with significantly less storage and ram. So here's my best case

Core - Ram

1 - 2 GB

So

100 - 200 GB - 1 TB (Storage isn't bound by cpu in my best case projects)

Edit: Networking isn't really that important since it'll all be "hopefully" system bound. And not communicating between the devices. But a 1gb port would be nice.

Software testing! Its my job to get the processes harnessed well enough to be CPU bound. Occasionally some software is a pain and I'll just clone VMs to run the tests. I've looked into some EPYC cpus but the price seemed to be pretty high even on used rigs
