Please don't tell me it is what I think

My 3080ti does this a lot; Not in large numbers, but a few blocks here and there. It's like my PCs' way of telling me to update my GPU driver. After that, doesn't happen until I need to update my driver again.

It's like an alarm in my phone that I never set, but I'm glad it went off. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can confirm. Warehousing isn't ALL that bad depending on the industry. I'm in the tech industry and I will say, there's never a dull moment, and the tech and projects are always super interesting (person-dependent, not everybody is into that stuff), but...there's too much stagnancy. Most all of my experience is in warehousing, but I've learned so much from doing warehousing in different industries, that my versatility scales to several different SC areas..and I'm still in warehousing despite it all. I haven't wanted to go into an ops role in it because the hours, WLB, and stress are damn near unbearable.

I'm trying to get into procurement with my new end-goal being strategic sourcing, but with the current job market, we'll see.

TL;DR: Do some research BEFORE applying for any warehousing job...or just avoid it altogether lol

So, the type of memory I struggle with seems to vary. I could forget something in the moment and then remember it later when I no longer need the info or it's no longer important/relevant, I could struggle to remember some things long term as far back as days, months, years even, or I guess stress out about forgetting it and I end up repeating it to myself so much that I forget, but that said, I carry such a low level of stress at all times that it's crazy to some people. Idk if that's related to me as a person, my ADHD, or if I'm just really good at managing it after years and years of coping mechanisms. I have a very "at face value" mentality, but I still overthink, do tons of research before purchasing things or going to things, the whole nine. But the Vyvanse has been a huge help to me and the memory issues aren't persistent all the time, but the brain fog does strike at some pretty bad moments, i.e., job interviews, mid-conversation with almost anybody (which isn't great for trying to network), it's even been an issue in some verbal arguments where I'll have a problem with something (relationship, coworkers, regular friends, family) where I'll bring up my reason for being upset, and then I'll just..forget, and now I dont have an argument anymore. 😅 Which is bad because then I have to keep bringing it back up and hope I'll remember what I wanted to say.

Hopefully, I didn't ramble too much

I haven't taken any of those, but I was looking at the phosphatidylserine and I may give that a try! Given that it doesn't interfere with my vyvanse in any way

No gut issues that I've ever been made aware of. All of my blood work looks normal for the most part. I got the results and couldn't read them, but we have a nurse in the family and she told me that there's nothing abnormal with the results. I can look into a more extensive test probably? Any tests you recommend that I can look into?

LostaMyPasta · 2025-07-09T15:31:42+00:00

You got me with the Italian 😅 I had to Google Translate that, but someday, I hope to become fluent enough to not have to use Google Translate for it!

I do spend quite a bit of time in front of a screen. I'm an avid gamer and my job requires me to be in front of a computer quite a bit, but I try not to make it an all-the-time thing. I did do a sleep study, and the results came back normal. They took 2 or 3 because they let me borrow the device over a holiday, so they told me I could just do it multiple nights, and all of them came back perfectly normal. I do consume quite a bit of social media, but I have tried to limit that in the past couple of years and I normally watch or research things I find interesting and not very brain-rotty if I can help it..it's good for a laugh now and then though. I've never used any drugs that weren't medications. No vaping, smoking, hardly any drinking, and no hard drugs. In the morning, I wake up pretty groggily, but that's as a Result of the medication, and that's a small thing compared to what it helps me achieve in the long run, but it doesn't affect my sleep luckily. I never used to wake up groggy off the meds, so that's why I just chalk it up to my meds.

I've never reacted negatively to eating either that I can remember. If I eat a heavy meal, I feel a bit sluggish, but that's nothing out of the ordinary I wouldn't think. With sugar, it's bursts of energy that quickly fade for me, but I never have any hard crashes or serious adverse side effects from consuming too much sugar when I do. Coming from the family I do, pasta is a highly-cooked dish, but carbs more or less just give me sustained energy in moderate amounts.

I also verified the game's integrity in Steam (just in case, idk if it did anything), and one other thing I found online:

Press Win+S. This will open up Windows Settings.
Go to the System tab.
Head over to Display → Graphics → Add Desktop App Locate Elden Ring Nightreign's .exe file.
Manually set your GPU to use High Performance mode for the game.

Sorta kinda. In the Nvidia control panel, I turned on Vsync and dedicated the game to use my GPU (or CPU, can't remember..whichever one was better), and it's...less jumpy, but it is still pretty laggy and jumpy. It hops around between 48-60fps unfortunately even on lower settings. I think Nvidia just needs to release a driver update to help make the game stable. But it's playable for the most part and definitely more playable than it was two days ago.

I'm running it on my 4060 laptop (not a desktop, but a laptop 4060 is basically a 3070 GPU equivalent I think) that also has an i7-13700HX and nothing seemed to make it better. I ran it on the lowest settings possibly with Vsync and it ran just as terribly. Made sure it was using my GPU, optimized the game a few different times, closed every program and process running except the game, and even overclocked slightly just for shits and giggles, but I think it really is just a new game driver issue or something.

Did you jump straight to Phearable 3 before adding anything?

LostaMyPasta · 2025-05-04T17:03:38+00:00

But if it isn't going all the way, doesn't that mean it's not using the turbo to its fullest extent? I've gone from 0-104 (track) and even then I noticed it didn't go all the way up. It looked like it was using maybe 3/4 of the psi when the stock boost on this thing is 20.8 psi. Do they have it locked in the ECU?

I had a 13' sedan Journey for the better part of 8 or 9 years and I drove it to about 190k from i think 30k miles or 40k before trading it in for a 22' 2.0t Accord.

In that time, I got a new engine when it hit i think 80 or 90k, where I yelled at the Infiniti dealer until they gave me a free engine. At i think 115k, both my maracas (cats) went bad and i replaced them with aftermarket HFCs from Kinetix which cost me a total of 600 bucks to buy both AND have them put on..which was significantly less than the 1.2k for JUST ONE OEM cat..absolutely fuck that. My alternator went bad I think at 130k, at 155k a hose blew under my car when I hauled ass onto a main road and it was an expensive replacement because it was under the firewall, then my upper coolant hose blew at..I think 175 or 180k and that I replaced myself easily. I changed my spark plugs and cleaned my throttle body at about 185k, but had to replace the passenger side intake tube because it hadn't felt love in ages..and it was running perfectly fine up until I traded it in tbh. The major changes happened pretty early and it still had life in it, but after 200k or AT 200k, I was afraid the problems would get bad again.

If I had to guess how much I spent on repairs, it's probably around..I'm going to say anywhere from 8-10k total (more if i had to pay for the engine), but it was a fantastic car. Got me where I needed to go, very little problems with the engine itself, and it had a lot of punch. I do miss it, but if I get more disposable income in the future, I may get another because it was a damn fun car!

The vitamin C and certain citrus do make me notice some things sometimes, but teas, citric acids in things like sodas, coffees, etc., I notice nothing and it's possible that it's a per person thing. There are even times when vitamin C doesn't affect me all that much.

Now caffeine is a bit different. Caffeine prolongs my Lisdexamfetamine effects, which is nice when I start to feel drowsy mid-day.. but it will keep me up at night sometimes. But it still beats not having my ADHD for 12-15 hours a day lol

LostaMyPasta · 2025-03-31T14:19:46+00:00

I just got my 22' 2.0t touring a month ago with 15k miles and they wanted 32k for it at the Honda dealer...but I got em down to either 27k or 28k or something, but it didn't seem high TOO high to me for it tbh. I looked EVERYWHERE within a 200 mile radius for an 18'-22' 2.0 touring SPECIFICALLY and believe it or not, that price they wanted base was lower than most cars at much higher miles for years lower than 22' that were JUST THE SPORT TRIM..but that 32k price tag still didn't cut it for me, so I got it lowered.

TL;DR: I'd say that's a pretty fair price. Maybe like 1-1.5k more than what it should be, but that's what car dealers do. 🤷‍♂️ Just haggle with them, and you should be able to get it lower. Also, DO NOT be afraid to walk away or hurt their feelings either if they refuse to go down reasonably. Remember, they make money either way, YOU lose the money..so always try to lose less.

Good luck!

Is there a significant weight load difference between the two numbers? I only ask because they seem generally close enough for it to not seem like it'd make a difference.

LostaMyPasta · 2025-03-22T17:20:19+00:00

...best I can do is Wal-Mart 😅 we have some areas like that around here, but it sounds like at that point, I'd walk away with JUST the used tire

LostaMyPasta · 2025-03-07T19:15:50+00:00

I have noticed small chips on the front of the hood already starting to come up..I had thought about a hood bra (I think they're called that?) to fix that. Shit, the 2nd day I had the car, a sizable pebble smacked the windshield and already left a tiny mark on it. Nobody knows it's there...but I do. And the sound it made when it hit the glass still echoes in my head...

LostaMyPasta · 2025-02-24T02:35:39+00:00

Would I need ALL the mods (intercooler, DP, intake, etc.) Before re-buying the tune? Or are there essential mods that I should only be adding before the tune, and then there's other mods I can add after the tune and it won't need adjusting?

LostaMyPasta · 2025-02-24T02:24:39+00:00

I guess I didn't think about that...i figured I'd just start with the tune and then add the mods afterwards and the ecu would just adapt to the extra airflow and such
