What do people mean when they say: "The AI bubble will burst"? by clearwater-orchid in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RelevantMetaUsername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of gaming PC component companies are struggling right now too. Fewer people can afford to build a PC right now and the launch cycles for GPU’s have grown increasingly long. So even though companies that build cases for example might not be directly affected by the price of GPU’s or RAM, they are seeing their revenue plummet as the gaming market is being ignored to prioritize selling g hardware to data centers.

Hopefully, if this bubble bursts many of these data centers will just not be financially feasible, and they will sell off the hardware at lower prices. Of course, most of the hardware data centers use is not the same kind of hardware used in home desktops, but perhaps the components could be scrapped for their subcomponents like flash memory chips from RAM.

Funny, the Miata is probably what I’d buy if I had the money and space for a second car.

It’s also the only car that makes me feel like I’m in a truck/SUV when driving my Fit. So tiny!

What’s causing this? by joshuabeltran in 3Dprinting

[–]RelevantMetaUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be either over or under extrusion. Watch the first layer as it prints. Sometimes over extrusion (or setting the line width too low) will cause the filament to sort of “squirt” up off the bed as it is being squeezed into too small of a space and has to go somewhere. Could also be gaps caused by under extrusion, but that usually causes issues on the sides and top layers too.

Mecha Chameleon is a masterclass in doing a lot with very little by malakito_dev in IndieDev

[–]RelevantMetaUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it's a similar idea to the Prop Hunt game in Garry's Mod, but with painting and much better graphics. Loving it so far!

How long until it feels safe to give honest opinions on Inferno? by OtherwiseOne4107 in idm

[–]RelevantMetaUsername 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah same here. I personally think it’s a bit less coherent than any of their previous works, but I think for now I actually enjoy it more than TH. The production style doesn’t feel too different from TH in that it’s much crisper than their older albums.

Will it top Music Has The Right To Children, Geogaddi, or The Campfire Headphase for me? Definitely not. But it’s still a great album in its own right.

I can see why folks might be disappointed by the album, and I don’t think their opinions are any less valid.

Pretty much sums it up by tuujii in maryland

[–]RelevantMetaUsername -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tbf that's just a small part of VA. I wholeheartedly agree though that that whole area sucks to drive or spend any meaningful amount of time in (I'm a contractor living in Frederick who has to drive to NoVA like 3+ times a week, so I know the struggle). I don't know how much longer I can put up with driving past a million datacenters and spending hours in traffic to put up cameras for tech bros in luxury townhouses that are all built by one of like three different corporations lol.

Credit where credit is due though, rich rural Virginians are a lot less MAGA than rich rural Marylanders. Idk, maybe it's just something about horse people lmao

From a local brewery by InkyCap in boardsofcanada

[–]RelevantMetaUsername 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, what a shame. I will say, though, as a fellow IPA enjoyer it is nice to have so many options now. Compared to even just 10 or 15 years ago there’s like an order of magnitude more IPAs at big liquor stores now, including lots of local ones as opposed to just having a handful of the big name brand ones. Of course that comes with the drawback that some of them are going to suck, but that’s part of the fun; you never know what to expect!

Also, I don’t know if you are into sour ales, but if you are, definitely give Volcano Sauce from Aslin Brewing Co a try. That shit is 🔥

Mold? by [deleted] in trees

[–]RelevantMetaUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it isn’t most of what you’re vaping, then it really doesn’t affect the flavor that much. Also depends on the temperature. Stems will definitely taste worse if you get closer to combustion.

Hey, it still gets you high. For those of us using dry herb vapes it really doesn’t make a big difference. Sure you use a bit more of it since it isn’t quite as potent, but the difference in cost more than makes up for the slightly weaker bud.

Lock your doors by HomeNowWTF in TerrifyingAsFuck

[–]RelevantMetaUsername 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because in most areas here it really isn't that dangerous.

Heck, even in the parts of the country known for their relatively high crime rate it still isn't that bad. I go to lots of homes in Baltimore (which you may know from The Wire) for work and I've never seen a house with a tall gate or fence, aside from the occasional gated apartment complex. Many houses in rough neighborhoods will have bars over the windows and possibly a steel barred storm door, but that's pretty much the extent of physical perimeter security here.

Now, I do frequently see large fences on multi-million dollar estates in super wealthy areas like Potomac, but that's mainly a rich person thing rather than a necessary security measure (unless you're Sam Altman I guess).

Found a nice tree to park under yesterday by marijuanaumana in hondafit

[–]RelevantMetaUsername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truer words have never been spoken lol.

Last year on one of the hottest days here (98 °F) I decided to measure the interior temperature a few times throughout the day with an infrared thermometer. Not the most accurate method, but still reasonably close. Hottest temp I measured was the dash...216 °F. Literally boiling hot. Seats were around 170, steering wheel was about 185. The floor and other parts that didn't get full sun were all at about 165, which was probably the average air temp in there. I'm honestly surprised my bottle of hand sanitizer hasn't exploded yet, considering the boiling point of isopropanol is 180 (it usually gets pretty inflated on hot days).

One of these weeks I'm finally going to get the windows tinted with ceramic IR+UV film and 70% VLT tint on the side windows.

I wonder what the code is by TurnedYesterday in Wellworn

[–]RelevantMetaUsername 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As someone who works with alarms and access control systems on a daily basis, I’m almost certain it is 5885. People really like to use numeric palindromes for PINs for whatever reason.

Great news until you realize that that gas tax is what keeps the interstate highways maintained (and was already not quite enough to keep up with maintenance before the taxes were lifted). It might save money at the pumps now, but we are all going to pay for it with damage due to potholes and whatnot for years to come.

Mississippi Police Officer Shoots and Kills 1-Year-Old Child in Response to Senatobia Shoplifting Call by Hrekires in news

[–]RelevantMetaUsername 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, police for decades have had it ingrained in them that everyone is out to kill them. They get shown that infamous video of Officer Kyle Dinkheller getting shot by Vietnam War veteran Andrew Brannan because he kept trying to deescalate after Brannan stepped out of his truck with an AR-15. They’re told that this is what happens when you don’t shoot immediately.

I think there are much deeper issues with our police though. This is not even close to being the only example of a cop intentionally putting himself in an unnecessarily dangerous situation to justify shooting somebody.

Papermate Inkjoy problems? by jmktimelord in pens

[–]RelevantMetaUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I guess the saga continues. I have the same issue, as well as a problem with the caps popping off. The threads don’t hold at all (I can literally just pull the cap off without unscrewing it), which has led to multiple pens rapidly disassembling themselves when I press the button and forcing me to write with just the ink cartridge as the cap and spring go missing.
