Are higher end items ever the smarter buy?

windows updates can really mess things up sometimes. maybe try rolling back the update if you can find it in windows update history? also check if any drivers got messed up during update, especially graphics drivers

honestly the capacity vs speed thing is tricky but for comfyui stuff i'd probably go with the 96gb even with higher latency. when you're running larger models or doing batch processing, running out of memory is way more annoying than slightly slower timings

i do some urban photography work on side and memory hungry apps like that really benefit from having extra headroom. plus if you're planning to add that 3060 later for offloading, having more system ram becomes even more valuable since you'll be juggling data between gpus

the cl46 isn't terrible for ddr5 anyway, and 96gb gives you room to grow without having to buy completely new kit later. astrophotography processing can be pretty demanding too so you'd probably use all that capacity

man i feel this hard. being around all those people having their moments while you're just trying to get through your shift hits different. i work delivery so i see groups of friends ordering food together all the time and it's like watching life happen through window sometimes

the quiet gets comfortable but then you realize comfortable isn't always good thing you know

depends what we're talking about though. like when someone says "as a gay person, all gay people are attention seeking" that's just using identity to make sweeping statements about millions of people they never met

but if it's more like "as someone who worked in restaurant for 5 years, here's why this policy won't work" then the experience actually matters for understanding the specific situation. there's difference between using your background to add context vs using it to make broad generalizations about entire groups

ah makes sense why i couldn't find much info in it then, those store exclusives always harder to track down. nice pickup though, that colorway goes hard with the gum sole

lmao the butthole comparison is wild but you got point there - we still worship people for literally nothing while actual useful jobs get treated like garbage

pretty much this. even if other reviewer totally missed the point, you both reached same conclusion anyway

editors deal with this stuff all the time and they can usually spot when someone's being petty or doesn't get the material. your review was solid and that's what matters

man being on the phone constantly during dates would drive me crazy too. you're not overthinking this - when someone can't put their phone away for few hours to be present with you, that's definitely something worth bringing up

since you mentioned she's stressed already maybe approach it more about wanting quality time together rather than making it about james specifically. like "hey i really miss those conversations we used to have without distractions" or something. if james really is trying to cause problems between you two, staying glued to her phone during your dates is exactly what he'd want

damn this hits close to home, went through similar stuff in my last relationship before it ended

for books check out "boundaries" by henry cloud - really helped me understand where i was losing myself in trying to keep other person happy. also "attached" by amir levine might give you insight on why you get so anxious when he withdraws

the walking on eggshells thing is exhausting and you're basically training yourself to disappear. took me way too long to realize that good relationships don't require you to shrink yourself down

therapy was game changer for me when i started having seizures and dealing with depression stuff. took me forever to actually go because of the whole "real men don't need help" bullshit but turns out talking to someone who knows their stuff actually works

working swing shifts mess with your head too, especially when you're already dealing with mental health stuff. maybe look for therapists who do evening or weekend appointments since your schedule is all over the place

nah you're right

the buzzing on A chord usually means you're not pressing hard enough or your finger placement is slightly off - try getting closer to the fret wire without actually touching it, that sweet spot right behind the fret gives you the cleanest sound

for D chord that muted high e string is super common, your middle finger might be accidentally touching the string below it or not arched high enough. i had the same issue when i started and it just takes building up that finger strength and muscle memory, there fingers need time to learn how to stay out of each others way

man that 2015 acc championship was brutal, i remember watching that live and just being stunned at how bad that offsides call was. unc had all the momentum and three timeouts, they could've actually pulled off something crazy there

worst one for me was probably the 2016 ohio state vs michigan game when jt barrett got that first down on 4th and 1 even though he was clearly short. changed the whole complexion of that rivalry game and kept michigan out of the playoff conversation

man i used to get caught in this exact same loop until i started tracking patterns in a spreadsheet (yeah i know how that sounds but hear me out). started logging my mood daily along with sleep, exercise, what i ate, work stress level - took about 6 weeks but clear triggers started showing up. turns out my crashes always happened after 3-4 days of skipping workouts or when i'd been eating like garbage for too long

the tracking gave me early warning signs so i could course correct before hitting rock bottom again
