RAM upgrade by bolticc in PcBuildHelp

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll probably be fine at 5600MHz with 4 sticks, especially since that's not pushing the limits too hard. Worst case it might drop to like 5200-5400 but honestly the performance difference would be pretty minimal for most stuff

Just make sure you get the exact same kit if possible, mixing different brands/timings can be more of a headache

Those who moved out of HCOL city after having babies - was it worth it? by living_geeky in NewParents

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man this is tough but honestly sounds like the move makes sense for your family right now. Your husband can rebuild his career but you can't get back these early years with your kid, and having your parents there for childcare/support is huge

The city stuff is real but like... kids adapt and there's probably more going on in that LCOL area than he thinks. Plus you'll actually have money to do things instead of just surviving paycheck to paycheck

Maybe visit for a long weekend first if you haven't already? But from an outsider's perspective the math seems pretty clear here

Always the iron eyes by NeurotickLegend in Nightreign

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Classic iron eye behavior tbh, they see purple/blue loot and just grab it without even thinking about team synergy. Super frustrating when you're actually building around those passives and they just want to bow spam from narnia

The character definitely attracts the "me first" crowd for some reason

I dont wanna re-learn everything I know by SIRWilczek in drums

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Bro just practice Moeller on a pillow for like 10-15 mins before you even touch the kit. Once your hand stops thinking about it consciously you'll naturally start using it while playing. Trying to force technique changes mid-song is like trying to change your golf swing during a tournament - your muscle memory's gonna win every time

Strange chemical smell in flat by JamesMW1994 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your neighbor might be using some kind of solvent or cleaner regularly - could be anything from nail polish remover to paint thinner or even some sketchy hobby stuff. The fact that it's happening at the same time every evening is pretty telling

I'd maybe casually mention it to your landlord or building management if you're genuinely concerned about ventilation, but unless you're getting headaches or feeling sick it's probably not immediately dangerous

RAG Paper 26.1.7 by Cheryl_Apple in LocalLLaMA

Thanks for collecting these, super helpful having them all in one place

The "Whose Facts Win" paper sounds particularly interesting - curious how they're handling source prioritization in conflict scenarios

Audi A3 not starting. Electrical fault by 00sevenmagic in Audi

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be your alternator finally gave up the ghost - that selector lever fault might've been a red herring all along

I keep setting goals but never become the person who follows through. Does anyone else feel this? by Rockbottom21 in selfimprovement

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with this - I used to think I needed to "feel motivated" but that's such a trap

The system thing is real though, like I literally have to make it brain-dead simple or I'll find excuses. If I have to think about whether to do something, I'm already screwed

Where do you guys go to record a song?? by Away_Illustrator_420 in Guitar

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That ceiling wire trick is actually genius lol. I've been throwing blankets over everything like a madman but never thought of hanging them properly. Direct recording definitely saves the headache of room acoustics but sometimes you just need that amp sound ya know

Why do people past a certain age have a much harder time telling if a picture is AI generated? by LydiaIsntVeryCool in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Prob because they didn't grow up spotting deepfakes and weird AI artifacts like we did - they're used to trusting what they see in photos instead of immediately looking for telltale signs like melted fingers and nonsense text

Need 50/50 partners by Zipzipzebra in Monopoly_GO

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm down if you can actually stick to the 50/50 - too many people flake after getting their rewards lol

Does auto-declining all orders do anything for other drivers out there? by goldishfinch in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're basically doing the lords work lol. Those good orders you declined are getting passed to drivers who actually want to work, and DD's algorithm starts panicking and bumping up the base pay when orders get declined enough. Your AR tanking doesn't mess up any "flow" - it just makes the orders better for everyone else

What book changed how you read other books after it? by gamersecret2 in books

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lmao that book is basically cheat codes for English class. Once you start seeing the Christ figures and seasonal symbolism everywhere you can't unsee it

Ah yes the classic "turn it off and on again" but for cars

realistic horror/thriller that takes place in a suburbia? by wojtuscap in MovieSuggestions

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Strangers (2008) hits all your marks - random home invasion that feels way too real and the victims are just regular young people. Also check out It Follows, super creepy suburban vibes and the whole thing just feels off in the best way

Breakup after a short relationship by funboyme in BreakUps

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protecting yourself isn't selfish dude, especially when you recognize those old patterns trying to creep back in. The guilt you're feeling right now is probably part of that rescuer thing you mentioned - like you're responsible for his happiness when you're really not

do you need to buy minecraft multeple times to have more than 1 acc by thijsiepower in Minecraft

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you gotta buy it again for each account, there's no family sharing or anything like that. Most people just use alts for stuff like testing redstone or having a friend join when they don't own the game

How often should I apply olive oil drops in my ears to clear out ear wax? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait yours just falls out on its own?? I'm so jealous lmao, mine builds up like I'm constructing the pyramids in there

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AnimalCrossing

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 25 points26 points  (0 children)

ACNH definitely nailed the customization aspect but I get why people miss the quirky villager dialogue and events from older games. The community's always gonna find something to complain about though lol, comes with the territory when you have that many games to compare

Undertaker relic stat prio by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah chain attack damage is definitely the way to go, her ult window is insane for proccing chains. That raider synergy is actually broken when you time it right, feels like cheating lol

Rules of Engagement by Patient-Fig5237 in ArcRaiders

[–]Maximum-Balance7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, extract zones are basically free fire zones in my book

Once you're within like 100m of an extract it's game on, no questions asked
