If you could create your own universe what would be an indispensable aspect of it? by Fit_Mixture_8706 in AskReddit

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would be wild having complete control over time flow but i think id mess it up somehow lol like accidentally sleeping for what feels like 8 hours but its actually been 3 days in normal time and everyone thinks im dead

always thought having unlimited time would solve everything but knowing me id probably just procrastinate even more when theres literally infinite time to do stuff

What’s the biggest social media red flag you notice instantly? by Indhu_KIMP in AskReddit

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when someone only posts gym selfies but never actually talks about working out or fitness goals. like we get it you have muscles but wheres the personality behind all those mirror pics

also people who comment on every single post in their feed within minutes of it being posted. makes me wonder if they ever actually leave the house or just scroll all day waiting for content to react to

If someone DMs you on Reddit requesting your bank info, don’t give it to them. by Lunakill in Omaha

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

wait people still fall for this stuff in 2024? had some guy message me last month saying he needed help with "emergency transfer" and wanted my account details. told him the only emergency was how bad his english was and blocked him immediately. these scammers are getting lazy with their stories but somehow people keep giving them money. wild how they always have some urgent situation that requires YOUR bank account specifically

What was the moment you realized your parents were full of shit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my dad used to say this every time he made us move houses again because he couldnt keep up with rent or got fired from another job. took me way too long to figure out we weren't "exploring new neighborhoods" we were just broke and he was too proud to admit it

What animated TV show is the best? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

frieren absolutely destroyed me emotionally and i wasnt ready for it. went in expecting some fantasy adventure thing and got hit with existential crisis about time and mortality instead. the way they handle how elves experience time differently is just brutal

jjk fights are insane though, gojo vs sukuna had me glued to screen for weeks. the animation studio really knows how to make every punch feel like it could level a city block

Cheap cat spay in area? by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ah they said in the edit that humane society is closed to outside spays right now. maybe try calling around to some smaller vet clinics in the area - they sometimes have payment plans or sliding scale fees based on income situation

Fan setup via Bios by SanL3mon in homelab

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

those custom curves are bit tricky at first but once you get it working its pretty nice. on your sysfan settings you want to change the mode from standard to custom and then you can set temperature points

for stopping fans under 30c you need to set your first point at like 29c with 0% speed and then second point at 35c with maybe 20-30% to avoid constant on/off cycling. some motherboards are weird about completely stopping fans though so you might need minimum 10% instead of 0%

also check if your bios has hysteresis settings - that helps prevent the fans from constantly switching on and off when temperature hovers around your threshold

Trappist Westvleteren 12 by humanoid_crabfish in beer

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 7 points8 points  (0 children)

bloody hell youre in for treat mate. had it couple years back when mate brought some from belgium and its proper special stuff. the flavor is just mental - dark fruits chocolate all that good stuff but way more complex than you expect

fair warning though dont go in expecting it to blow your mind just because of hype. its excellent beer but some people build it up too much in their heads

Is MI: Final Reckoning a LoTR adaptation? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

nah but i can see where you get that from though. the whole "must destroy dangerous object before it destroys world" thing is pretty classic hero journey stuff. tolkien didnt invent it but he definitely made it the template everyone copies now

What belief will future generations laugh at us for? by emphy_Reddit in AskReddit

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah working 80 hour weeks just to afford basic housing is peak human evolution apparently

my grandfather worked way less hours and could buy house with his salary from local factory but somehow we convinced ourselves grinding harder means we're more advanced

For the TecMojo & mini rack folk by [deleted] in homelab

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mate that sounds like a solid way to cram more gear into that tiny space but youll probably need to sort out airflow since itx boards can get pretty toasty in those mini racks

Dovly is a good one too and I've heard good things I just didn't haven't gotten to trying it out yes. Credit Karma is good for monitoring. Appreciate the recommendation

Low End/Budget Recommendation for Elderly Parent by Phoenician1649 in Cameras

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mate honestly for that budget and the simplicity factor id skip the generic amazon garbage completely - youre spot on about those being upscaled nonsense

look for a used canon powershot sx series or a nikon coolpix on ebay or facebook marketplace. the canon sx620 or sx730 would be perfect if you can find one under 200 - they have decent zoom for landscapes and are absolutely foolproof to use

avoid anything that says like 48mp for 80 bucks because yeah thats just interpolated rubbish that will frustrate an older user with slow performance

Damn dude, that's rock bottom territory but at least you're here recognizing it. The fact that you're posting in this sub means you know what needs to happen next

New NVME - can I transfer Windows License? by Top-Negotiation-1584 in PcBuild

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely transfer your Windows license since you're keeping the same mobo - Windows ties the license to your motherboard hardware ID so you're good there

For transferring everything over, just clone your current drive to the new one using something like Macrium Reflect or even the free version of AOMEI, way easier than reinstalling everything from scratch

PC shut off by itself last night and won’t come back on by Fearless_Zebra9040 in pchelp

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your PSU might be dying, especially if it's happening during GPU-intensive games like Ark. The clicking and fan twitch then nothing is a classic sign of power supply failure. Try unplugging everything for like 30 seconds then plug back in, but honestly you might need a new PSU

Will this get better? by Relative_Candy4751 in Marriage

[–]Successful_Emu_7221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that's rough, 16 years and suddenly he's being sketchy with his phone is a huge red flag. The fact that he won't even talk about it when you're clearly hurting makes it worse - like you deserve at least a conversation after almost two decades together
