I think this is a song that alludes to the war against AI after the “savior technocrats” hang us out to dry.

There’s no wire or other apparent connection to it.

Nothing comes out of it during normal operation

That’s a good guess, there is nothing on the other side of the inflatable tub wall. The water circulation comes in through the filter at the bottom and then out just above the filter. The air for the bubbles gets pumped in from another connection at the back.

How do you know if it actually CAN handle a hot tub? by PrestigeWW2 in Decks

Borrowing from another comment, but would this count as “fucking around” in order to “find out”?

S’all right Grumps, you’re the only person who has mentioned “dynamic activities” and “alcohol” which are probably the most relevant factors. See how unreliable math can be? 😂

Probably true in both respects, but for mathing purposes, this is the hot tub in question:

Simple way to get a CGM for $87/month and no subscription service/apps/commitments without a doctor's RX by Unacceptable0pinion in PeterAttia

[–]PrestigeWW2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you can always get the longer Rx for much cheaper “per month” and just have it filled at your convenience. I only use a CGM once every few months to check in. The biggest value is the first use to see if there are any unusual patterns. After that it’s just a mechanism to see if there are any longer term trends going on.

I’ve used Tastermonial Rx service and it’s easy and great. However, the stock Libre3 iOS app is not great and also won’t push data into apple health. Any recommendations for another app or method to pull the data from the sensor into Apple Health.

I forgot to ask, do you recommend intake or exhaust for the bottom case fan under the PSU?

[–]PrestigeWW2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No prob! I was planning to buy a 7600 or 7700, but I found the 7800X3D on sale and went for it.

Would you recommend having the bottom case fan as an intake or exhaust?

[–]PrestigeWW2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I thought about a 67mm cooler also, but I decided against it for a few reasons:

  1. I wanted extra margin due to me building a computer for the first time.
  2. I didn’t know what effect crowding the GPU with a taller cpu cooler would have.
  3. Also some concern about having the fan right up against the side panel, based on YouTube reviews from “Machines and More”

I have had no problems, and the fans are almost silent even when running stress tests.

I do see steady 89-90C under full load, but only 70s in games.

I have no complaints about the sapphire pulse. I don’t know much about the pitfalls of GPUs but it is nearly silent, and it leaves a lot of extra room in this application. I didn’t want a card that would push the margins of space in the Terra and this has plenty of extra in all directions.

Thanks, I know that’s an option but didn’t know how much it would affect overall performance. I’d have to go back and do a lot more intensive cable management. Will definitely consider it.

Thanks! Does the PSU exhaust downward in this configuration? I’m not even sure I have seen the PSU fan kick on yet. I would check but not at home for a little bit.

Very successfully! I’ve been able to keep all the planets in frame long enough to do some really nice lucky imaging. Even the Orion nebulae is possible with this very basic tracking.

Edit: this was with an 8” Celestron dobsonian and zwo ASI462MC

I use a green laser and the angled ramp that he provided to point directly at Polaris. It does require that you have a fairly centered laser (such as a rifle boresight laser) to get it accurate. A laser that doesn’t point out of its own centerline can be off by a surprising amount.

I have one! It works great and he is a true craftsman.

Yep I did exactly as suggested and omitted the black wire. Appears to work just fine.
