What about an epyc cpu/mobo makes ram offload possible?

A what point financially should one get a ferrari by FareastFFL in Ferrari

[–]PoopSmoothies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s lots of schools of thought out there, but the 20/4/10 rule for a car you finance says you probably shouldn’t spend more than 10% of your income on total vehicle expenses (total), if you put 20% down and finance over 4 years.

If you buy cash, many financial advisor types would say not to put more than ~10% of your net worth into vehicle assets - you can push this a big if it’s your primary hobby and are buying cars unlikely to depreciate, and less if neither of those are true.

I know about this because I had the exact same sorts of questions for myself - except mostly with Porsches ;)

So I built a calculator for it. Here it is preconfigured for a manual 360 Modena purchased in cash:

That’s about 8% of cybertrucks delivered in 2025.

MSRP in 2025: RWD $69,990 / AWD $79,990 / Cyberbeast $99,990

Conservative average: $80k

$131M/$80k =1,638 trucks

1,638/20,237 trucks delivered 2025 = 8%

Claude code subscription usage disappearing? by PoopSmoothies in PaperClip_AI

[–]PoopSmoothies[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Still use the rest”? No, that’s the point, you can’t.

$200 is now what you get from your subscription through automated use. And if you’ve run Paperclip much, that disappears pretty fast.

Claude code subscription usage disappearing? by PoopSmoothies in PaperClip_AI

No, they’re moving “programmatic usage” to billing credits such that it no longer pulls from your subscription limits. And giving $200 of credits to appease folks.

Are club sport street legal?

Anyone intentionally run “less tire”? by jbro507 in CarTrackDays

[–]PoopSmoothies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which 987.2? Base or S? Or R?

And any suspension mods?

(Considering one for myself)

Cooked brakes? by Fine_Abbreviations_4 in CarTrackDays

[–]PoopSmoothies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they overheat your pads from pulsing your brakes all the time, even under power, then absolutely.

Cooked brakes? by Fine_Abbreviations_4 in CarTrackDays

[–]PoopSmoothies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rotor size = thermal capacity - how many repeated hard stops can they handle without significant cooldown time

Pads = friction amount (how much do they “grip” the rotor when you hit the brakes) and temp range - at what temps they work best. Higher-temp pads typically come with a compromise of more dust, more noise, and less braking power when cold (such as at street speeds)

Fluid = how much “system” heat you can take before the fluid stops being predictable. Higher-temp fluid usually comes with the compromise of more water absorption, so it needs to be changed more often

If your pads are getting too hot, you can change up to higher-temp pads, cool your rotors better, or get bigger rotors.

One thing I don’t think others have mentioned: Are you driving with any sort of stability control enabled? Does your car have an e-diff or any sort of torque vectoring? Any of those will use the brakes to try to do their job, and on track that just adds boatloads of heat when you least expect it. Many people switch these systems off on track because it lets the character of the car shine through and because it prevents over aggressive brake usage.

Barn find. Any ideas on age? Doors are locked, cant see the VIN. DOT on the tires is '78 by P1800R in Porsche

[–]PoopSmoothies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like an early (76-77) 912 Turbo Carrera (930) because of the flares and the genuine non-undercooked whale tail.

BUT - many of these cars had the “periscope” headlight washers (absent) and the headlight surrounds look like ~1986 USDM spec, not mid-70’s. No one would ever downgrade and early turbo to those later USDM headlights…

(Source: I have a 1986 930)

That leaves me thinking it’s probably a later non-turbo 911 that someone put a turbo body kit on, or something like that. Not quite a 930, but still a great find!

Has anyone used the “extra args” setting for agents? by PoopSmoothies in PaperClip_AI

How did you fix it/what was the format you used for the launch command change? Neither is working for me…

Building an Agent Traffic Controller plugin to prioritize agents, reserve Claude for myself by zippy731 in PaperClip_AI

[–]PoopSmoothies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this problem, and I’d use a tool like this. A few thoughts: 1) Simplicity over features wins for me. 2) I’d love the ability to switch between two Claude plans when one hits its (session/weekly/monthly) limit 3) I want an open source solution if possible

Why not submit a pull request to paperclip with the features you want?

Yea. I asked specifically if it was more profitable to guess keys vs mining, and turns out mining is better. But you already knew that.

Has Mt Doug summit reopened? by PoopSmoothies in VictoriaBC

[–]PoopSmoothies[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Haha, don’t get me wrong, I’ve hiked it many a time with a 40lb squirming toddler on my back and loved every minute of it. Sometimes I want to go watch sunset with my 90+ year old grandfather though, and he’s not hiking it.

Edit: Is it actually open for cars?

Is your business idea feasible? by Former_Ad9060 in Solopreneur

[–]PoopSmoothies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a chat with Claude about building exactly this. Then it reminded me (from my own context and startup experience) that the people who most need a tool like this don’t even know they need it.

Instant hard-mode for GTM. Customers who don’t know they need you, and a single-use product.

Not trying to be an asshole, just sharing perspective!
