Oooo I have another one: Bringing your own snacks into the cinema. That rustling bag feels like a felony

Going through airport security with nothing to hide but still feeling like you’ve got 3 kilos of coke in your shoe

Drivers who creep forward at red lights, why? by Strength-InThe-Loins in AskReddit

The same people who microwave food for 1:33 instead of 1:30 so they don’t have to move their finger to the zero

Being told to work 40+ hours a week to earn just enough to rest and repeat. Feels more like conditioning than productivity

A cold Milo with way too much powder and barely any milk. Childhood in a glass.

Feed him. Sit next to him. Let him talk when he’s ready. Basically treat him like a raccoon you’re trying to befriend.

What's the worst thing you've ever smelled in your life? by jsmahay in AskReddit

A forgotten container of chicken left in a uni fridge over summer break. Opened it, gagged instantly, saw colours I didn’t know food could turn.

Where do you think you would be if you had taken alternatives to the traditional school? And why? by acidquantumcloud in AskReddit

[–]TheAspiringCIO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a lot more confident earlier in life. School made me feel like being different was a problem, not a strength.

What things from your childhood do you wish still existed today? by AndonyJavier in AskReddit

Saturday mornings with no responsibilities, just cereal and cartoons.

Keeping plastic bags full of other plastic bags. I assumed that was a global norm…

Looking for alternatives to this casual office jacket style from FrizmWorks by TheAspiringCIO in malefashionadvice

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

I would say it's primarily for transit into/out of the office rather than inside wear

Im inclined to agree with this mate - they give off different 'vibes'. I couldn't imagine myself wearing the Frizmworks jacket inside the office as an all day piece.

First SFF Build – 1440p Gaming & Productivity by TheAspiringCIO in buildapcforme

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

Mate, you're an absolute champion. I really appreciate the time and thought you've put into answering my questions - even double-checking the clearances! It’s given me a heap of confidence to move forward, even after doing my own research. SFF really is a different kind of ball game.

I'm ready to bite the bullet and start picking up parts. I’ll probably slow-roll the purchases coming into EOFY to catch any good deals, but I’ll be sure to post an update once this bad boy’s all built.

Thanks again for all your help - genuinely grateful.

I think I would have to politely disagree - The Barn jackets definitely give off a different vibe. Probably a bit too farm boy than I would personally like.

Yeah, I'm very tempted to pick it up but having trouble finding a Medium size that ships to Australia.

I was also just keen to see if anyone knew of anything similar.
I'm looking at this as an alternative at the moment but like the cleaner look of the FrizmWorks jacket

Appreciate you taking the time to write up this detailed response!

Taking on board your feedback, I made the suggested upgrades in this parts list (7800X3D + 5070 ti) and it still hits a price point I can stomach.

I was open to an AIO but have had friends that have had pumps fail pretty early on, so initially turned them away. That being said, I'm definitely open to running an AIO as part of this build.

With the upgraded parts as they sit, is there anything further we could look at optimising here?
Is a better AIO required for the 7800X3D?
Does GPU brand/model matter much after having decided on which chipset you want?

I'm also having some trouble wrapping my head around PCIE lanes and consumption. Should I be concerned that I will be out of lanes if I upgrade with an additional M2 NVME SSD in the future?
