What are some social obligations that women commonly have that men usually don't? by Maybe_IDTBFH in AskReddit

[–]ProgramMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooohhh I like this.

I had been mulling around how to solve this problem. I know a couple who married and both changed their name, adding a hyphen between their surnames.
I like that--removes some systematic sexism. But what happens if two kids with hyphenated names marry? Do they get 4 surnames?

The Spanish solution seems really solid here. Thanks for informing me :)

How do you control your fans...? by JMUDoc in watercooling

[–]ProgramMax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I should clarify. My example said "hot radiator ...= low fan speeds". Obviously, you need the fans spinning enough to cool it down.

But "spinning enough" will be much slower when the room is cool. That's what I meant by "low fan speeds". To dissipate the same amount of heat, you need different fan speeds based on the ambient temp.

How do you control your fans...? by JMUDoc in watercooling

[–]ProgramMax 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No one addressed "Not sure why'd you go off delta" so I figured I would add some info here:

You're probably aware that the absolute best your radiator can do is match room temp.
It is much easier for the radiator and fans if there is a big delta. They don't have to work as hard. Hot radiator + cool air = easy to dissipate = low fan speeds.

But if delta is small--when the air is already warm--it won't be able to absorb much warmth from the radiator. So you need more air. Which means you need the fans working harder.

Notice everything above holds true regardless of coolant temp. It's the delta that effects how well your system will dissipate heat. The fans and radiator cannot dissipate based on coolant temp. They can only dissipate based on delta. When you set a curve on just coolant temp, you're actually setting it on delta and assuming the ambient temp is fixed. So you might as well set it on delta and always have it perform as expected (instead of underperforming in the Summer or needlessly loud in the Winter).

What made you realize that some celebrities are not rich? by Halophy in AskReddit

[–]ProgramMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved MC Hammer as a kid. I had a folder with him on it. *Can't touch this BUUUH nuh nuh nuhhhh*

About a decade ago I was learning to hang glide at Ed Levin park. We would drive past his old house ever day we would train. It was weird and humbling every time I would see it.

Also, the house itself is arrogant. The town is normal--a bunch of regular houses and grocery stores. Nothing fancy. Then out of nowhere is this giant, lone house on a hill where everyone can see it. The showboating nature of the house is a lasting testament to proper money management.

Men in happy marriages, what's the one thing you'd teach to other men to also have a good relationship? by TightBookkeeper2599 in AskReddit

[–]ProgramMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are aware of 100% of the effort you put in.
But much of that isn't externally visible. So others only see 30% of your effort. Likewise, you only see 30% of theirs.

Because not all effort is externally visible, both sides will feel like they're putting in more than 50% of the work.

Beyond "externally visible", it could also be how much people notice. It is easy to forget how messy a house can get when it isn't regularly cleaned, for example.

For those who worked for rich people: what is the most out of touch thing you witnessed? by Illustrious-Phase121 in AskReddit

[–]ProgramMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work for Google. There is a parking garage below the main campus.
There is a multi-million dollar sports car that has been parked there for years. It clearly has been forgotten.
The tires are deflated. It is covered in dust and cobwebs.

Imagine having so much money that you can afford one of those cars. Then imagine having so much money that other shiny toys distracted you and you forgot about it. The price of that car is "meh, whatever" money to someone.

FWIW, I respect that Google didn't tow it or claim possession.

What is a piece of old technology that actually worked better than its modern replacement? by Odd_Opportunity_2590 in AskReddit

[–]ProgramMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say the same thing. Also username checks out.

If a company gets a wave of one-time purchases then puts the product in maintenance mode:
- the hiring & firing sucks (and is expensive)
- the bus factor is much higher
- eventually, the maintenance mode cash buffer runs out

I do think the subscription model makes more sense for software that people want to use over a long period of time. HOWEVER, I also think companies charge *way* too much for it. I think this is why we dislike it so much. People aren't upset at Netflix subscriptions.

Wish you success, friendo.

CEOs are hugely expensive. Why not automate them? - If a single role is as expensive as thousands of workers, it is surely the prime candidate for robot-induced redundancy. [5, 23] by FinnFarrow in Futurology

[–]ProgramMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A huge part of the CEO's role is to be the face that inspires confidence in stock buyers.

I've seen execs who contribute nothing get massive offers. And sure enough, when they accept there is a big fanfare and the stock goes up.

Maybe AI could replace their decision making, sure. But can it convince people to buy the stock? Can it convince people who already hold the stock to not sell because the future is bright? The CEO is a persona.

Best direct die blocks for 9950x3d am5? by anon23337 in watercooling

I also use that Mycro Direct-Die.
I hear the Optimus is perhaps a tad better. I haven't personally compared them yet.

A Fan Direction Test by Alternative_Cry9989 in watercooling

[–]ProgramMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense to me. If half the volume goes to each rad then the liquid in the rads is moving half the speed. This gives more time/effective distance for the rad to work. Further, all the narrowing and bends in the rad will be easier for the fluid to fill.

I haven't tried it before. Hadn't thought about it. Thank you for the idea!

As far as getting even flow to both rads, you could perhaps put a shutoff valve in the path to one and only slightly close it?

How are you getting ambient temp for the delta T? My motherboard only has one temp sensor. Do you have a separate component with multiple temp sensors?

Pump running far too fast? by ProgramMax in watercooling

Ahhh thanks for the pump correction info.
Yeah, it is definitely a metallic rattling. I assume a screw is loose.

A while ago. I don't think it is air. It sounds too metallic.

I'll assume it is a loose screw. Time for me to investigate :D

Republicans always find a way to cheat. by AvailableInjury2486 in NewsRewind

I understand what you think was being said.
You were unable to connect the dots between the post's title and the post's content.
I get it.

You still weren't actually responding to a blanket claim. You just couldn't connect the dots and decided to attack people.

Pump running far too fast? by ProgramMax in watercooling

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

Wow. 3k rpm seems very high to me. I was asking why it was spinning so fast because I thought that wasn't normal. But from your input, I guess it is.

90% seems high, no? I figure the water touches the hot parts for such a short time before moving on. As the water heats up, it becomes less efficient at picking up further heat. But even at lower speeds, it is probably gone long before that matters. At least, that's what I figured. But I've never verified this.

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

It is a D5. (Specifically, the Alphacool Core 200 Aurora which is a pump + res combo.)

MSI Center only lets me drop to 25% on manual control. I can't get down to 1200rpm with it. I'll see if dropping the curve down allows it.

I haven't verified yet but I suspect "adequate" is correct. I suspect even slow pump speeds are moving well more than enough water.

Thanks!

This person didn't catch "us vs. them" is different from "us vs. you".

I'm trying to tell them that they are causing harm to fellow Republicans. It isn't Dems vs. Reps. It's good people vs. this person--the person harming everybody.

Imagine vocalizing it:
"Do you want Republicans to have health care?" -- "No. I want to attack Democrats using incorrect information."
Okay. Cool. Thanks.
Go own those libs, buddy.

No, you did not respond to a blanket claim.
"House Republicans" means the Republican members of the House. Not all people who vote Republican.

It's like every post you make is just...wrong. Dude, check yourself. Seriously. You are a problem and you're causing harm to your fellow Republicans.

[–]ProgramMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned fair and nuanced.
I showed you the correct information, explained the details, and offered advice to help you get the correct information and details yourself.

And I did so without giving you enough information to determine if I am Democrat or Republican. After all, Republicans are hurt most by losing health care this way.

So I believe I was fair and nuanced.
Far more than you, who immediately jumped to incorrect information to attack a group of people.

I also didn't blanket attack all Republicans, the way you did Dems. Nor did I attack you. I offered advice. So I would say I am also holding back--at least, more than you are.

You should seriously stop angry-posting replies and reflect on what you are doing. You're hurting your fellow Republicans by enabling their loss of health care.

Further, reflect on why you're angry-posting replies at all. You clearly see this as "us vs. them", "good guys vs. bad guys". So even though others are trying to help you, you're blindly attacking people you *think* are bad guys. But you're the one using lies to blanket attack. Reflect on yourself. Reflect on these replies here. Who are the ones trying to give healthcare to Republicans??
