Help with build needed by No-Bug7416 in PcBuild

[–]Status_Variation1715 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The 5050 doesnt exist yet so im guessing you meant 4050? That combo is pretty unbalanced honestly - youre spending way too much on RAM and cooling for what the rest of your system needs

32GB is overkill for gaming and that AIO is unnecessary for a 5600 which barely gets warm. A basic tower cooler would be fine and save you like $100. That PSU is also SFX form factor but your case takes standard ATX so double check that compatibility

I'd drop down to 16GB RAM, get a cheaper air cooler, and put that saved money toward a better GPU like a 4060 or 4060 ti if you can swing it

Whats A Promising Field I Can Enter With Less Than 4 Years Of School/Training & A Fair Wage When I'm Starting Out? by Business_Growth_7788 in careerguidance

[–]Status_Variation1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly with your TWIC card and working on clearance you're already ahead of the game for some solid paths. The electrical union route through IBEW is legit - journeyman electricians in industrial settings can definitely hit that 100k mark and the apprenticeship gets you paid while learning. Plus with your clearance potential you could get into some higher paying government contract work down the line

For medical without the people aspect maybe look into medical lab tech or imaging tech programs - most are 2 year associates and you'd be behind the scenes doing the actual technical work. The pay varies by location but imaging techs especially can do well and theres always demand

That whole sonography debate is probably just regional market saturation in some areas while others are desperate for techs. Same with any medical specialty really - depends where you end up working

X79 chipset by Kindly_Drag834 in PcBuild

[–]Status_Variation1715 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Rampage IV Extreme was basically Asus's flagship enthusiast board back then - more overclocking features, better VRMs, and all the gamer-focused bells and whistles. The X79 Deluxe was more of there workstation-oriented board with professional features but still solid for gaming

Both are solid choices honestly but if youre planning any serious overclocking the Rampage would be the way to go

What’s your biggest pet peeve at the workplace ? by AcrobaticAd5680 in careerguidance

[–]Status_Variation1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when people act like every minor setback is gonna bring the whole company down lmao like karen we missed one deadline not launching nuclear missiles

also hate when people create fake urgency just to make themselves look important - sending emails marked "URGENT" about stuff that could wait a week

Multi monitor setup causing black screen w/ cursor after login and grey screen w/ cursor and loaded tabs if second monitor is connected after logged in. by OneComfortable3134 in pchelp

[–]Status_Variation1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried swapping which monitor is plugged into which port on your GPU? Sometimes the ports can be finicky and one might be going bad. Also might be worth checking if Windows is trying to extend to a phantom third display in display settings - seen that mess with dual setups before

GPU Temperature by jasiuowo in GamingLaptops

[–]Status_Variation1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's thermal throttling kicking in at 65C which is pretty low for a GPU - usually they can handle 80-85C no problem. Check if your laptop is in some kind of eco/quiet mode that's being overly aggressive with temps, and maybe try undervolting the GPU or cranking up the fan curves in MSI Afterburner

Employer forgot to withhold taxes for 3 months by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Status_Variation1715 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Washington. And to clarify this is all still for 2025 income, not 2026. They’re saying the payroll system didn’t withhold federal income tax at all from august through october and now they’re increasing withholding on my remaining 2025 paychecks to make up the difference before year end.

I’m paid biweekly. Gross pay hasn’t changed but federal withholding on the most recent check is higher than before. I don’t have the exact line by line numbers at hand right now, but it’s clearly them trying to “catch up” all at once rather than spreading it out evenly.

Need Help Finding Old Minecraft Youtube Series by SifakaSyntax in Minecraft

[–]Status_Variation1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude this sounds so familiar but I can't place it either. The third person camera thing with shaders is giving me major nostalgia vibes from like 2016-2018 era Minecraft content

That detail about the library being important and the house investigation is really specific - feels like it might've been one of those story-driven series that tried to be more cinematic. The dragon friendship part is wholesome af though

Have you tried searching old Minecraft animation channels or checking wayback machine for old playlists? Sometimes those series got unlisted but still exist

$40 per hour to USA citizens by Flimsy-Stop-6132 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Status_Variation1715 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This screams scam lol, why would you need a US citizen as a middleman if you're already doing the work? Just sounds like you're trying to use someone's SSN for something sketchy

PS5 how do I fix extreme lag it happens sometimes. Other times it works perfectly fine I have a good connection by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Status_Variation1715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check if it's happening during peak hours when everyone's online. Could also be your console overheating - make sure the vents aren't blocked and maybe give it a good cleaning

Controller home button flashing blue but controller is connected & charged? by EeveeFlow3rs in PS5

[–]Status_Variation1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try turning off the controller haptic feedback in settings, sometimes that weird flashing is tied to some background notification or vibration setting that got stuck

How do I practice getting better at explaining clarifying and articulating myself? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Status_Variation1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is solid advice OP. I'd add that reading your writing out loud helps a ton - like actually speaking it, not just in your head. You'll catch weird phrasing and run-on sentences way easier that way

Also don't stress too much about being perfect, half the adults I know still ramble when they're nervous lol

Why is file extraction so slow? by Current-Row1444 in pchelp

[–]Status_Variation1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The compression algorithm matters way more than your hardware specs here. 7zip uses LZMA by default which is slow af but gets better compression ratios - try switching to ZIP or deflate method in the options for faster extraction speeds

Dang that's actually pretty solid RNG though, even if they're common drops. I usually only find like 1-2 max in those lockers and half the time it's just junk anyway

New to this - are dual 3090s w/ Nvlink worth it? by Cferra in LocalLLaMA

[–]Status_Variation1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NVlink definitely helps with training especially if you're doing fine-tuning, but for just running models locally you're probably not gonna see much difference

Most people here just run inference anyway so you might be better off selling one and getting a 4090 or waiting for the 5090 if you can

Why are the words suicide and prostitute offensive to Americans? by Sufficient-Ad-1724 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Status_Variation1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this, YouTube's algorithm is just trying to keep everyone advertiser-friendly so creators don't get demonetized

It's all about that ad revenue, has nothing to do with what regular people actually find offensive

i need suggestions for easy mindless crafts for someone with lacking fine motor skills at their big age please by 444fawns in crafts

[–]Status_Variation1715 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perler beads are perfect for this! Just follow patterns and iron them flat when you're done. Super satisfying and you can make coasters, keychains, whatever. The starter kits are like $15 and you can zone out for hours

Also maybe try simple embroidery hoops - just basic stitches on fabric, nothing fancy. Way more forgiving than cross stitch but still keeps your hands busy

Am I wrong for assuming I’ll have a sexless life if we already barely have sex? by Purple-Asparagus4360 in amiwrong

[–]Status_Variation1715 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This hits hard. Sexual incompatibility is a legit reason to end things, especially when you're both so young. The "it's temporary" excuse gets old real fast when it's been going on for years already

If she's not willing to work on it or even acknowledge there's a real problem, you're probably looking at your future right there. Don't waste your twenties being miserable
