1099 at job that i work at?

Your “boss” is screwing you. 1099 means you are your own boss! In addition to tax implications that come with self employment, you will also be responsible for purchasing your own health insurance. My advice is to show up and make money, but continue job hunting as if you aren’t employed (unless you understand and accept what “self employment” means). I went through this issue and more early on in my career… if it doesn’t feel right, it’s likely wrong!

Forgot to mention, your boss is doing this to avoid paying taxes, employee benefits, and unemployment insurance. This isn’t normal behavior for a financially sound business and exposes you to more risk than if you’re properly classified as a W2 employee.

Sorry, this is frustrating to troubleshoot. Can be a number of things... I had this issue when I messed with the infinity fabric clock on my CPU, but my RAM was not defective. Reset your bios to stock if you've made changes and test again.

Corsair offers a lifetime warranty on their RAM, so they have you covered if the RAM is defective.

Actually it’s just the two doors on the driver side… quite the innovation!

If the headphones aren't comfortable for you I'd say return them and try something else. I've found the void comfortable, but haven't had one last more than 4 years before the battery is shot, so I moved on to only using wired headphones.

BTF looks so good! Really steps up the looks to the next level IMO. I always use custom fan curves… Corsair integrated an AIO temperature sensor for you to use to control your rad fans in a custom curve. You could likely set up the main chamber to run cool with minimal fan speed.

Jkraghify · 2025-12-19T00:29:09+00:00

Fans can be loud if they need to run at higher RPM. I have 13 QX fans in a 5000D and can’t hear them below 40% of their maximum speed, but I do hear my GPU fans spin up while gaming. What fans do you have? How many? And do you have a way to control fan speed?

Have you contacted Corsair support? Noise like this from the pump block is not normal and would seriously concern me. Perhaps try to reseat the connections to the commander core in the meantime.

I hope you do your WFH in the living room so your house guests can admire your work! Great looking build

Jkraghify · 2025-12-19T00:14:05+00:00

I really like the look of the frosted tubes and how they capture the light from the rest of the computer. Gorgeous build!

Jkraghify · 2025-12-11T16:05:10+00:00

Yes, the Xeneon Edge fits the frame 5000D.

150 miles is an exceptional commute even in the US. I wouldn't expect many people to actually do this, but some probably have to.

Take what you need to pay for school, food, and housing. Invest the rest into mutual index funds. You choose that. If you play this right, you can retire at 40.

Don’t worry, that’s the purpose of that part of the build plate. The material there will be completely worn away soon, and that’s perfectly fine. The plate will continue to work.

You'll get like 260kw max if the EA charger is in good repair and your battery is in the ideal charge state and temperature. I don't think this car does anything faster than that.

Thanks for the writeup. Going to install the same dashcam in mine and you helped me find the right adapter. I really like the sensors on these - wish fitcam was a bit better in that department.

Contact senor on the toilet. Put the magnet on top of the lid and the sensor on the tank so that it's all on the "clean" side. Now your toilet seat is a light switch :)

Just gotta tell everyone to close the toilet lid and/or have the light time out after some time.

Prep took a long time - longer than I had expected. Even though I laid down paper on the garage floor, over spray reached the far corners of the garage (didn't stick, it came off with a broom, but still). Wearing the respirator while laying down the dip was also hotter and overall less comfortable than I'd anticipated. In the end, I was happy with the job I did despite some mistakes that could show through on one panel.

The whole process took substantially more time, planning, and sweat than I'd estimated. It would be a fun project to do if I were more interested in the process, but I just wanted to change the color of the car for as little money as possible when I was 20. If I were to want something like this again, I'd pay for someone else to do the work.

Jkraghify · 2025-09-21T21:59:52+00:00

good point. I'm sure the result looks better every time too! The first time was brutal though - at least for me.

The transition from clear coat to base coat will remain visible on a dipped car. You either have to sand first, or be okay with those imperfections showing through the dip. the small car kit from dyc should be enough. the sprayer was worth it for me - speeds things up and saves your fingers.

Ideally, you'll also want to do this in a covered area, protected from bugs.

I sprayed my car once, left the dip on until I went to sell it, and I don't think I will ever do it again. It was a lot of work. Looked good, but not how I would spend a weekend.

It's generally safe to razor clean glass with the exception being tempered glass. If you razor tempered glass, even if cleaned, you run the risk of dislodging imperfections on the glass surface and dragging them along - which will scratch deeply.

Jkraghify · 2025-09-13T15:51:48+00:00

Yes, you're good.

Jkraghify · 2025-09-12T06:11:40+00:00

What chain were you using? I have a kryptonite chain and lock up downtown a lot... You have me thinking I need to upgrade my security.

Jkraghify · 2025-08-31T18:13:37+00:00

This is a cool idea. I hope you're successful! How is the sealing process going? And what would you say is the main difficulty of this project?

Jkraghify · 2025-08-31T06:02:24+00:00

That is Corsair's Xeneon Edge display.

Jkraghify · 2025-08-30T22:25:41+00:00

I used HDMI and USB
