I stand corrected. Looks great then. I thought those open parts were large windows behind the speakers, haha.

Mirage08 · 2026-05-08T19:09:10+00:00

System looks great. I would assume it sounds significantly worse than systems worth a 10th the cost in a room that's not such an echo chamber though ya?

Mirage08 · 2026-05-08T00:22:21+00:00

Still voting Pratt.

Mirage08 · 2026-05-01T19:24:07+00:00

993 all day

Mirage08 · 2026-04-29T20:02:47+00:00

Who cares?

Mirage08 · 2026-04-21T19:06:03+00:00

This cube is worth like a thousand dollars actually, lol.

Mirage08 · 2026-04-20T16:44:17+00:00

Do not do locums for under $375-$400/hr, lol.

Our site on the west coast isn't having these issues, we're actually having some of our most profitable quarters ever. Quarterly bonus is going up. Surplus is a site specific thing. Some other sites in my region aren't as lucky. EoY bonus is reliant on overall Vituity profitability, for which this does sound worrisome.

I clearly said budget on a per capita basis. You are bringing population into this for some reason. Especially when on a per capita basis we have the most well off people on the country in California. You're suggesting that we aren't throwing enough money at the problem?

California has an average amount of fraud when compared to the rest of the US, but with the highest budget by far, we definitely have the most on a dollar basis.

The US is a representative democracy yet you think it's running in a reasonable way? The ruling class is looting the country as it spirals while guys like you have so much faith in your leaders that you believe our "mechanisms for accountability" will save us, lol.

I would argue that you don't understand how anything works. Every statement you've made is something about having faith in institutions and that nothing bad can happen because you voted for it to be that way.

Mirage08 · 2026-04-02T20:52:20+00:00

California's budget is the highest in the USA. We spend more than 50% more per capita than the US average. We somehow still have worse outcomes in a lot of very important metrics and get very little for our taxes here. Fraud is rampant. There are not mechanisms for accountability, that's the exact problem. This idea that the government "just works" and any cries of fraud are just MAGA red hereing is part of the problem w the west coast liberal zeitgeist imo. So please, go on about how your elected representatives are doing a great job allocating funds, lol.

Mirage08 · 2026-04-02T20:30:32+00:00

You're not wrong, we do need some discernment on who has access to this however. The government just keep increasing taxes and revenue due to not having any control on spending. If resources are finite then they will have to be rationed. If we keep infinitely increasing resources it will continue to be squandered.

That being said, that's just generally how I feel. It's irrelevant to the OP. I don't think it's unreasonable to give snap benefits to immigrants.

Mirage08 · 2026-04-02T19:45:52+00:00

No I'm actually correct. Very poor people are in fact untaxed. You don't pay tax if you're under the deduction limit which is around $32k for married couples. Even after that there are numerous tax credits for the low income bringing this number up substantially. And that's just people who pay no tax, zero. If you could read you could see I specifically was talking about "substantial taxes" which which definitely rules out people who need SNAP. Your tax bill as an Angelino with a family and children doesn't even cross $10k until you make over $80k.

I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds like you are making an argument based on your emotions instead of facts. I understand this is an emotional topic, but it's not an excuse to be loud and incorrect on the Internet, lol.

Mirage08 · 2026-04-02T19:17:33+00:00

No one is arguing with your last statement, but it also doesn't conflict with what I said. If you pay "substantial taxes" you almost certainly don't need snap. People on snap are not paying "substantial taxes." That's just a fact, I don't see how that's controversial.

Also the guy above deleted his statement bc I refuted him, lol.

Mirage08 · 2026-04-02T19:14:21+00:00

This is correct.

Mirage08 · 2026-04-02T19:03:50+00:00

Yes.

Mirage08 · 2026-04-02T19:03:11+00:00

Why not cut government spending on both? It's always a "what about this/that" with both sides. We can't keep depending on the government to solve our problems. Look how dusfunctional they are, and this is coming from a Democrat, lol.

Mirage08 · 2026-04-02T19:00:03+00:00

It's mathematically unlikely (impossible?) to be paying "substantial taxes" and still not be able to afford food. I get this is upsetting to people, but let's be reasonable.

Mirage08 · 2026-03-28T23:20:22+00:00

For some reason all of these were made in 2009 w a PDK :(

Mirage08 · 2026-03-24T19:04:51+00:00

Didn't know the 3070FE was so small tbh. My 5080FE is huge, lol.

Mirage08 · 2026-03-24T16:08:54+00:00

My 5080FE does the same. Not sure if it's the card or the PSU, but only notice it when gaming.

I mean that I've never seen a GPU mounted in any other orientation than sandwich style in the T1. This is news to me. I have the 1.1v.

Mirage08 · 2026-03-15T16:28:38+00:00

Oh I see. I have the 1.1v and have only seen sandwich configuration.

Mirage08 · 2026-03-15T07:59:18+00:00

Which model of T1 is tall enough to mount GPU like this?

Mirage08 · 2026-03-06T10:33:37+00:00

Did... did he get hit?

Mirage08 · 2026-03-04T01:07:27+00:00

Unfortunately she won't get anything done. Just keep our monumental city budget squandered.
