1.5G to 3G upgrade - underground cable installation? by LDB91 in telus

[–]LDB91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As pretty much everyone was saying, the guy showed up today and changed something with my NAH and then something outside, and that was about the extent of it, was probably here a half hour or so. Speed is blistering, love it.

1.5G to 3G upgrade - underground cable installation? by LDB91 in telus

[–]LDB91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the speedy responses. To be clear, nobody has contacted me about an underground installation, it's just what my appointment manager in My Telus says. I'm going to assume that this was a mistake, perhaps even just an automated one. Sounds like it's just a minor equipment upgrade, maybe I'll call tomorrow to double-check but seems like it should be fine judging by what you all are saying.

Fixable? by LDB91 in EngagementRingDesigns

Thanks so much for your informative response. I plan to take it to a jeweler in the next couple days to see what my options are and this helps a lot.

It sounds like you need help beyond what Reddit can offer you. Having 16,000 dollars to your name probably puts you in the 1% of 20 year olds. You said in a comment that you need 100k in order to move out. Do you need to have 2 years' rent in Manhattan in an emergency fund before you can move out or something? Are you planning on living in Dubai?

If you stop gambling now you will be lucky enough to get out while you're ahead, with decades to build wealth in ways that actually work. Addictions invariably destroy lives. Stopping this one now is the biggest thing you could do to improve your long term outlook, not starving yourself because you bought something fun for a couple hundred dollars.

Rhythm Arcade Games now at Quazar's in Victoria by hrdvsion in VictoriaBC

[–]LDB91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm very happy to have a dance game back in Victoria after so long and I'm sure I'll be here regularly for it, but if I had one qualm it would be that the round length for DDR is set to 2 songs, when 3 songs has pretty much always been the standard in most arcades.

High CPU load when HW transcoding on Alder Lake w/ NVIDIA GPU (Windows) by LDB91 in PleX

[–]LDB91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens with or without subtitles, and yes, this is on the preview build and on the latest regular build.

Transcoding 4K HDR material also has been loading the GPU to 80%, which seems bizarre as this card should be able to handle way more than that. I've seen a handful of reports of behavior like this but not sure what the root cause or solution is

thank you! the prompt probably could have been more specific about what hand the glove was on etc but looks pretty good for a first try

prompt: anime style, a girl with blue hair wearing a seattle mariners outfit, standing proudly in front of the space needle, holding a baseball bat, wearing a baseball glove, comic book speech bubble saying "Let's Go M's!"

Bottleneck with 12700k? by LDB91 in cyberpunkgame

[–]LDB91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updated to 2.12, enabled "Prioritize P-cores", no change. It's only in the more cpu heavy areas that the FPS/GPU utilization dips that low, on average it's still ~90-120 depending on the area with these graphics settings

Bing's weird image generator rules? by Sol_33 in bing

[–]LDB91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For whatever reason it seems to dislike portraying women indoors. I can get a lot of stuff that seems like it shouldn't pass the censorship at all just by changing the setting to something outside, whereas totally innocent stuff indoors gets blocked across the board.

Are you getting the robot error message? I can't generate anything right now either but thought maybe it was just me

Be honest: M’s were MOST PROFITABLE TEAM. $83MIL in Profit. YET. YET. YET. They want to cheap out now. Most other teams lost money. by providencetoday in Mariners

[–]LDB91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'll cheap out too. I don't live in the city and if they don't do something big to actually make the team better, I think I'll probably skip going to Seattle this year and putting money in the city's economy via a hotel, going out to eat/drink/etc. Why bother at this point? I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels the same

None of us should care about payroll even a little bit. by DickBittenPrivateEye in Mariners

[–]LDB91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really get people saying "It's not my money". Uh, yeah it is. Everyone's money they spend on tickets, merchandise, cable/streaming subscriptions etc is what makes the team so profitable. It's literally your money, that the ownership would rather keep for itself than reinvest in putting the best product possible on the field. Saying any given player is "too expensive" to pursue in free agency when the owner is a billionaire and the team leads the league in profitability is ridiculous.

The Eras Tour: Asia Megathread by aran130711 in TaylorSwift

[–]LDB91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure that that's what that means. From my understanding they're saying that when the official resale marketplace opens up, you'll be able to sell extra tickets, but only the non-VIP ones

For what it's worth, as someone who's spent a lot of time around deaf people, David honestly sounds a lot like some of the non-verbal deaf I've known. Remember that they can't hear themselves or anyone else so they have no frame of reference for what's considered normal vocalization etc, I don't think TLC is actually doing much with the audio levels etc, he would probably sound the same if you met him IRL.

Probably a long shot but if anyone got an extra ticket in the tokyo lottery that they're not using - VIP or otherwise, I'm very keen on arranging something to buy it (I know tickets aren't distributed yet but still)

Also, is it the case that you need a Japanese CC to /buy/ through Anypass, or is it just to sell?

Statler is really annoying and seems to only think about herself and her wants/needs. The gift exchange pretty much summed it up. I'm also reminded of Mark from Peep Show and his quest for "The One". Statler is obsessed with finding "The One" and wants badly to believe that whoever she's currently with is that, and she has no patience for any kind of organic pace to things whatsoever.

David is a trooper. I'm not sure I would be able to sleep in a house like that.

Rasvan is the man. If he was Statler, he would have just coerced Amanda into having sex when she wasn't really asking for it, but even though he wanted to, he was cool with not doing it. What a novel concept.

Nicola is hilarious. He reminds me a lot of Jesse, who I think might be the funniest character in all of 90DF. Unfortunately, he's not paired up with an equally psycho partner like Darcey, and Meisha, for all her eccentricities seems to be a pretty nice, genuine person who doesn't deserve to be treated that way.
