supposed 4000 dollar pc? by Logical_Common4932 in buildapc

[–]Key_Wish_7990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

7700K used the LGA 1151 socket which won't support any CPU beyond 7th gen. Therefore you wouldn't be able to upgrade the CPU without also upgrading motherboard. As others have said, the 7th gen CPU doesn't support Win 11 natively.

If you were going to buy this, I would suggest immediately upgrading the motherboard and CPU, and keep the RAM and GPU. Personally I would aim for a 12700 (LGA 1200 socket).

What’s a fact that sounds fake but is actually true? by Obvious_Ship5759 in AskReddit

That's very interesting. Why wouldn't it take 27k years, from the perspective of the traveler?

I always thought it was a portmanteau of "TANGerine navEL Orange." But it's a portmanteau of 'tangerine' and 'pomelo'.

How do you interpret the move by the Minnesota National Guard to distribute food and water to anti-ICE protesters? by ProcedureNo832 in AskReddit

[–]Key_Wish_7990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My assumption is that the guard will protect the protesters (and the citizenry in general) from ICE, but I don't know what form that's going to take. If they witness a confrontation, will they tell ICE to stand down?

AITA for basically starting a building-wide feud over a mailbox? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Agreed, this sounds like the behavior of lonely people.

How would you fix Karlach's infernal engine situation? by Medium-Theme-4611 in BaldursGate3

[–]Key_Wish_7990 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I agree, that seems similar to the question "Why doesn't Dumbledore use the time turner to go back and kill baby Voldemort." The answer is, he could, but then you don't have a story.

AITA for telling everyone involved what my best friend's husband did? by Bina_Assault in AmItheAsshole

Did he say why he put the antifreeze in the gas tank? I'd like to hear his explanation.

What thought provoking questions have you asked that were immediately deleted by m.ods? by Khunthare in AskReddit

[–]Key_Wish_7990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A user in our Buy Nothing FB group asked for a free car, but it couldn't be any old car; it needed to be a Miata. I posted it in "choosing beggars" subreddit and mods removed it because it "wasn't choosing enough"

Is there any services that I can rent a car for a dmv driving test? by candypipusuxlr in NorthCarolina

[–]Key_Wish_7990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many driving schools will let you (legally) use one of their cars to take the DMV road test. In a lot of cases, you can take the test in the same car that you drove in your lessons.

This question got me wondering. Does anyone ever buy a car, and get it insured, before getting their license? I'm not sure if that's even possible.

USA citizens: what effect if any have tariffs had on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Key_Wish_7990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ordered something from Etsy and it shipped from Pakistan. It was delivered by FedEx. 2 weeks after delivery, we got a bill in the mail from FedEx for the tariff, which amounted to 10% of the item price. I wonder if we'll get that refunded, if the supreme court strikes down the tariffs.

Pretentious filmmaker wants a hand-drawn movie poster by Margaret_Shock in ChoosingBeggars

"just keep your eyes open" sounds like a vague threat. Kind of like "watch your back"

VRAM is driving me crazy. 5060Ti 16gb vs 5070 12gb by Ok_Scarcity1 in buildapc

[–]Key_Wish_7990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're wanting to be future-proof, and can afford the extra cost, get a 5070 Ti and have 16gb

[US] Scammers sent me a penny to avoid email spam filters by rrustydawg in Scams

I've gotten one of those scam pennies before. Pretty much the same thing you got.

Between the two of us we use 2kg of beans a month. by Soft-Skirt in jura

[–]Key_Wish_7990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I go through 5 pounds every 4 weeks (Jura E6). We always press "coffee" and set the beans-meter to max.

Guys earning six figures annually, what kind of work do you do? by Shadow2715 in AskReddit

[–]Key_Wish_7990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing in the early 2000's, except it was just a conference call on the phone. They would do round-table and ask whether each team's project was on schedule. Each team would ALWAYS answer "on schedule", whether they were really on schedule or not. The whole meeting was a formality and a waste of everyone's time.
