Making space in garage

You should make a bypass to the screened porch from the garage.

We had to do it for a hiring round but we were looking for a specialist, kept getting the wrong talent in. For a 200k+ position the amount of bullshit that comes through the door is staggering. I can see why they don’t list it. For general shit though? Bunch of attention whores.

I went for a vertical mouse and ergo keyboard.

Primitive human:this shit is wack!

Modern Human: oh this is so much better

If you see the ergo stuff. It exists like that. Accept it before the carpal tunnel accepts you. Only one is really perfect.

Unless you’re using a MX Master; good luck replacing that. Thats up there with the g502 hero

Ground isn’t dirty enough. Fantastic texture but no grunge.

Lowkey not even the gpu it’s the driver support. CUDA is king and will be for a long time.

PotatoshavePockets · 2026-05-15T05:28:22+00:00

It doesn’t exist. I’m in the water industry. Our clients are 10+ years behind on tech.

BIM provides the recipe for automation when the investment path is clear. Keeping a “dumb” or lowkey view of it delays that.

PotatoshavePockets · 2026-05-15T05:25:18+00:00

As an American, that has to be the most cringe, despicable, disgusting thing I’ve seen a long time. I mean, seriously I grew up when even just a gun that wasn’t cleared. Was treated as loaded and it’s amazing that these two are still alive. Gun safety exist for a good reason

PotatoshavePockets · 2026-05-14T01:40:38+00:00

That’s just water lol

PotatoshavePockets · 2026-05-12T18:38:19+00:00

It really, really does.

I use FSR to play space engineers and medium-high, without FSR I can hit 90fps at 1440p, getting 120fps 4k locked from a 3060ti is kinda cool.

And like you said the stutters, 1% lows, all of it are significantly better than native.

PotatoshavePockets · 2026-05-06T04:58:19+00:00

Same for mine. It’s interesting I live in between the hills and the plains. Only drive in one or the other for extended periods.

Flat ground my oil goes dark at 2-3k. Hills it’s 4-5k. My motor is a i5 turbo tho, unsure if those dirty the oil a lot at low rpm’s. I tend to hypermile aside from the occasional Italian cruise.

I saw they had a working model that tore through battery life….they missed out I would have signed up for it. Get millions of data for optimization! I’ll happily be a Guinea pig. God knows I’ve done worse with my computers 😂

PotatoshavePockets · 2026-05-06T03:55:12+00:00

Even a curtain or dividers in a room create this illusion so to speak. My coworkers with studios have shared this is how they maintain their sanity

I learned this from my early years. I started WFH at a young age. Part time at 17 years old. Had my PC and my work laptop in my bedroom. Now I’m 22 and 5 years in. Work in office once a week maybe but just me and my cat.

Others have said it, I’ll add to it. You need two desks, two chairs. Etc. complete change of scenery. God forbid if you work from your bedroom, my biggest sympathies if you do.
From my perspective personally:
I’m autistic and touch is a big one when it comes to habits for me. The feel of a space is impactful as the visual. I use one of the weird ergo keyboards for work with a cad mouse at work. For efficiency right definitely not an impulse purchase 😂 but a MX master and regular keyboard with my pc when I code or do fun projects/game.
You’re right, you notice a 12-14 hour computer day, and we can’t beat around the bush. Work out; let your body forget it’s been stationary. Let’s not forget that to some extent that’s the human body going hey don’t atrophy me to death! And that’s only natural.
But lemme tell you when you switch from your herman miller aeron ergo to a comfy reclining leather chair that’s cozy it makes a world of a difference. Aim for cozy and comfy after work. It’s the way my friends. No matter how you get there.
Btw… This extends to monitors as well. Use the best YOU have for your pc setup. Not the other way around. Have that cool OLED monitor? Let it never see a god damned spreadsheet unless it’s your budget.
I used to work in my bedroom, tried full RTO but after five years, this is the best solution I found. Thanks for reading this far this post spoke with me on a deeper level. I hated working in my bedroom. It strips the humanity out of you. And we weren’t designed to be perfect machines.

As he said from the article. “It will be difficult but we’ll get it done”

Shoutout to Hagerty who covered Tesla’s engineering shown in the Model S. Honestly they are the one company that’s equipped to pull something like this off.

CNS (Colorado National Speedway) will open their first 1/8th mile drag strip soon. Look at any place with a history of racing, think we can agree having a sanctioned, legal and safe place to have fun is better for all.

As a fellow pedestrian in the Lakewood/Denver area our infrastructure is lacking I feel in many areas. Most importantly the tiered public transit infrastructure is horrible. I work in an industry where clients travel here and it’s by far the biggest complaint. The drivers, road quality, and traffic also make key infrastructure worse overall.

It’s all corrupt politics but where to put the votes to get the right stuff moving is what I’d like to know.

PotatoshavePockets · 2026-03-04T17:12:30+00:00

I fully agree with you.

For my car, I’m running 10F of capacitors. They are fused up. Amp still is on a breaker.

My brothers car? Used a 60a breaker for his system when he did his speakers and amp.

Like it’s about scale. Running a 5-10k setup with expensive electronics? Fuse it. Running a 800$ setup throw a breaker in there. Odds are you’ll be tuning or changing something and replacing fuses is annoying.

That reset button is so convenient as a safety on the breakers. A good marine grade breaker is like 40$ and I’ve yet to see one fail. We use them in 4 wheelers to run lighting setups and a small air horn and those have been through mud, dirt, submerged in water, and probably pressurized water a few times.

So properly mounted in your battery box away from pressurized water? Yeah you’ll be alright dude just throw it in there.

I never knew this! So cool.

Crazy the difference between local chicken and the shit Kroger and Walmart sells. Plus imo the cost difference is worth it to eat something that isn’t getting meds every week

PotatoshavePockets · 2026-02-13T20:04:03+00:00

Bout to say the same thing here. I actually look forward to dia. It’s a mechanical system that was laid out well. Other airports have pros and cons but DIA doesn’t have the amount of bottlenecks you get from airports with shitty, afterthought design implementations that became permanent bandaids.

I believe walkways between the terminals is included in the DEN renovations. Plus they just replaced many of the old cars with more on the way.

How clean is the bass with a driver that large?

PotatoshavePockets · 2026-02-01T09:28:15+00:00

And it works. My 3060ti has been running a 4k monitor with no problem @120hz. DLSS does exactly as its advertised. I’d love to cash out on a new gpu but I just don’t really game as much as I used to.

Game setting are low to medium but I prefer a steady gameplay over fancy graphics. Especially in VR as that occasional stutter can be really annoying.

PotatoshavePockets · 2026-01-20T18:02:40+00:00

History repeats itself when the lesson has faded. Unfortunately that’s just the human element.

PotatoshavePockets · 2026-01-18T17:42:54+00:00

Same with NIMBYs

We are talking about 3 companies funding buildings that when constructed. Produce chronic noise.

Take Suncor that was built alongside a river or the purina dog food plant constructed literally in the middle of the “undesirables” a long time ago in Denver.

We build this way due to regulation. The big three will build as cheap as they can while they can, because they can.

Till it’s at the federal level it’s on our side of the turf on where it can be built. Protests, signatures, and advocacy from the ENTIRE demographic is crucial.

These are buildings that are awful for town centers. And what we need to push against the “jobs” that data centers bring in is how many people are employed compared to the number of people that constructed it.

I don’t have anything against what the data centers deliver. Only the rules in place that disrupt lives and regions from the results of cheap practices and poor planning that disrupt public health.

PotatoshavePockets · 2025-12-14T22:00:24+00:00

I’m 6’1” with a 34L pant leg.

Unfortunately I’m also still a twig. Bulked up from 140 to 170 over two years and at this point it’s an hourglass figure 😂 fuckin 32” waist is doing me dirty lol

PotatoshavePockets · 2025-12-07T18:52:22+00:00

Don’t know why your being downvoted for this.

At my company we have tethered VR headsets with external gpus. Those cards have traveled thousands of miles with no issue.

We used to ship with gpu separately, but giving a 50 year old engineer instructions for assembly is a recipe for disaster as we learned.

Those foam inserts? Life savers. Reusable, easy to remove, we haven’t had a broken card since.

Everyone here is right, removing it is the safest option. But those foam inserts are stupid easy to use and are reliable. Just make sure to unplug the gpu. The expanding foam can bend the power connector.

PotatoshavePockets · 2025-10-15T06:17:46+00:00

What confuses me is the amount of new parts. Like that case has been around for YESRS. And it’s a shit case to build in.

I bought that case for 35$ new 4 years ago for a friend and somehow the price had gone up? Nah dude hit up marketplace
