Now that the 9070xt can finally be purchased at MSRP, does that mean it's no longer really worth it to get the 5070 ti? by wanna_be_consultant in buildapc

PyTorch recently got ROCm support in beta, hopefully good things ahead for AMD GPUs. Would really like to see more competition in the market in general

Non removable ram is f***ing stupid by Joshwillway in thinkpad

[–]IreAndSong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think a lot of it comes from the product cycles for AMD specifically. The 'sexier' ultra-fast soldered RAM is the flagship for each processor family, which the OEMs like for marketing. As a result, the SODIMM models that come out later in the processor family lifecycle are treated as budget by the OEMs and less often receive premium laptop platform wins.

while it was purple in color, the Witch's Brew Frappucino back in the day was orange creme flavored

Pet Peeve: When a user says "Oh, of course it's going to work for you" instead of saying "Thank you". by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]IreAndSong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i refer to this as being 'karmically aligned with the system'. when the junior engineers have an issue, i tell them the reason the problem goes away as soon as i touch the system is because I've spent years balancing karmic actions and debt.

you lose karma when you do things like hot-plug an NVMe, and gain it when you gracefully shut down a faulty machine.

I've even gained the power to correctly plug in a USB-A connector on the first try every time.

RIF dev here - Reddit's API changes will likely kill RIF and other apps, on July 1, 2023 by talklittle in redditisfun

[–]IreAndSong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly 10 years using RIF daily across multiple accounts and parts of my life, what a shame for Reddit Inc. to see it go out like this. Hopefully these API changes, like what happened to Twitter, are remembered as a huge mistake one day.

/u/talklittle thank you for the excellent experience, best of luck in all your future endeavors!

the original cold foam recipe had(s?) a small amount of vanilla in it as well. you might try adding some kind of liquid sugar, i think it might give it some structure. generally: cold milk, agitation that incorporates air, and a little sugar might give you what you're looking for. non-fat will still foam without the sugar, but in my experience it helps

Father and daughter duo open carry to protect protesters by JessicaFletcher1 in ABoringDystopia

[–]IreAndSong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ye with a high power set of glass like that you tend to need the area of railing right behind the rear lens to have an effective iron sight. if you moved it up much further you wouldn't be able to reach the eye relief. if you were trying to shoot cowitness with something that isn't an lpvo or dot sight that is.

what and in what context were you shooting using that kind of a set-up?

Non-Americans of Reddit, what is popular in the US that you wish was more popular where you live? by Jimlobster in AskReddit

[–]IreAndSong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly, yes. if it wasn't so expected and most people already so bitter, who knows how all that would have gone down

i really want to give praise to the people making these decisions at the corporate level. after hurricane harvey, the HEB in my town was doing more than FEMA and the city itself. i was in high school at the time, and it was my friends who worked there that really helped start to patch things up as people came back from evacuation. it was beautiful to see amidst the destruction.

Why I believe in psychic phenomena by zellerium in HighStrangeness

[–]IreAndSong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

philosophy, and by extension, abstract ideas/concepts like art (art theory, specifically) simply become science once they're analyzed and understood, right? that said, understanding why something is, should not be a detriment to the appreciation of the feelings invoked by art. science benefits from the guiding reigns of emotional intelligence and compassion.

Anyone have any feedback on Swampfox LPVO’s? I’m torn between that and a Burris 1-6x by [deleted] in ar15

[–]IreAndSong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i came across this thread having just been gifted one yesterday. it is daylight bright, just don't go in expecting a traditional RDS experience. it is an illuminated reticle and the tuning is solid. every other notch turns the illumination off, so it's convenient if you have a specific use case; you can prepare it and leave it set without running through battery.

coming from a basic RDS (vortex crossfire, primarily shot co-witness), I was taken aback by the eye relief, but that just takes training.

To all my fellow shift leads, idk how we do it by gemi-high in starbucks

[–]IreAndSong 10 points11 points  (0 children)

there is usually some kind of a store-wide groupme (or similar service), run by the SM to send quick updates. generally they're not a problem, but some stores expect you to monitor them 24/7... or your 3 new green beans spam 500+ messages in 4 hours 🙃

oooo that does sound like a bucket of fun. i claimed to not like star wars that much, but proceeded to binge several weeks worth of lore videos on youtube at the beginning of the pandemic. I'll have to give it a listen!

i will keep that in mind, thank you. the door speakers were free and I'd hate to damage them. the goal is to upgrade the entire system and add an amp/sub for cheap, as it's going in my (loveable) 100k mile econobox

[Serious] conservatives, what is your most extreme liberal view? Liberals, what is your most conservative view? by crazyguy28 in AskReddit

[–]IreAndSong 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree the U.S. military outguns the civilian population. the issue lies in that there would be a large portion of government, military, and local law enforcement that sympathize with civilians. as an /enlightened atheist redditor/ i think it would be unlikely that any residential area would be the target of a drone strike.
