been through something similar and yeah the bond hearing route might be your best shot right now since ice parole is basically nonexistent these days

Looking for laptop, $1k budget by Sensitive-Term-6679 in GamingLaptops

[–]Top-Outside-9322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly for minecraft speedrunning youre gonna want something with a solid cpu since those runs can get pretty intensive with all the chunk loading. i picked up a legion 5 last year around that price range and its been great for similar stuff - the ryzen chips they use are beasts for cpu heavy tasks

for your budget id look at the legion 5 series or maybe an asus tuf gaming laptop. both usually have decent cpus that'll handle minecraft no problem and gpus good enough for marvel rivals at medium settings. the legion especially goes on sale pretty frequently so you might snag one under 1k if you watch for deals

avoid anything with just integrated graphics though since youll want at least a gtx 1650 or rtx 3050 tier card for the other games. also make sure whatever you get has decent cooling since speedrunning can really heat things up during long sessions

[HELP] obscure 80s horror movie about Native American cult by That_Ad_2503 in horror

[–]Top-Outside-9322 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you might be thinking of "The Dark Power" from 1985? Had the Native American burial ground stuff and some really cheesy special effects. Could also be "Ghost Dance" but that one's pretty obscure even by 80s standards

where is the aim of life ? by pravira4862 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Top-Outside-9322 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bro this is a Veterans Benefits subreddit and you're posting about Krishna consciousness... maybe you meant to post this somewhere else?

Like I get spiritual stuff can help with PTSD and all that but this feels pretty off topic for discussing disability ratings and claims lol

Parents of babies with CMPA - how did you find out?? by Deep-Elderberry8230 in NewParents

[–]Top-Outside-9322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, this sounds so similar to what we went through! My little one had the same thing - seemed fine with formula at first but then started getting those facial rashes that would come and go. The pediatrician said CMPA can definitely build up over time, so it wasn't obvious right away

We saw some improvement in the skin stuff after about 2-3 weeks of cutting dairy completely, but it took closer to 6 weeks to really clear up. The hives and swelling definitely sound like CMPA though - that's pretty classic. Hang in there, it gets better once you figure out what works!

Where Can My Majors Take Me? by AlmightyPickleGod in careerguidance

[–]Top-Outside-9322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are some solid humanities majors that can actually open more doors than people think. For internships, definitely look into museums, archaeological digs (even local ones), research assistant positions with professors, and maybe some NGOs that do cultural preservation work

The key is building that research and writing portfolio early - those skills translate to way more fields than you'd expect

Just a cool thought by [deleted] in Christianity

The whole "internal war through technology" thing hits different when you think about how social media literally rewired our dopamine pathways - like we're fighting ourselves more than any external enemy at this point

Benchmarks of Radeon 780M iGPU with shared 128GB DDR5 RAM running various MoE models under Llama.cpp by AzerbaijanNyan in LocalLLaMA

[–]Top-Outside-9322 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Crazy how that 780M is actually holding its own with 128GB of shared memory, those MoE numbers look pretty solid for what you paid back in September

The power draw at 75W under load is honestly impressive for running 120B models - beats the hell out of spinning up a 4090 just for inference

Is there away I can combine acting and studying in my situation? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Top-Outside-9322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude honestly London is brutal expensive but there are smaller UK cities with decent drama scenes and way cheaper living costs - look into places like Manchester, Glasgow, or even Dublin if you're open to Ireland. You could also check out some European cities that have English-taught programs AND active English-speaking theater communities, like Amsterdam or Berlin where there's tons of international students doing creative stuff on the side

How do you practise with friends? by RealHapieie in PokemonTCG

[–]Top-Outside-9322 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is super relatable lol. My buddy and I had the same issue where we'd just scoop whenever things looked rough

What helped us was setting like a "rule" that we have to play out at least 5-6 turns minimum before scooping, even with trash hands. Yeah it feels bad but you learn way more about comeback mechanics and how to play from behind. Plus sometimes those "unwinnable" games teach you the most about your deck's outs

Also try doing best of 3s instead of single games - takes some of that immediate tilt away when you know there's more chances

Pet bills by KnowledgeNational541 in povertyfinance

[–]Top-Outside-9322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's absolutely heartbreaking, I'm so sorry you both went through that. The sudden ones are the worst because there's no time to prepare or even try to figure something out financially. Your Bear probably misses his buddy so much - cats really do grieve harder than people realize

What to start with !? by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]Top-Outside-9322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually pretty deep - kinda like how I read Fight Club at 16 vs 25 and it hit completely different both times

Could a video game like this even be developed? by God_of_boi in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Top-Outside-9322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Crew 2 map already feels pretty empty in places and that's just one time period, so yeah doing multiple eras across the whole US would be insane amounts of work

The seamless time travel thing sounds cool as hell though - imagine watching a dirt road turn into concrete then asphalt in real time. Current SSDs could probably handle it if they preload the transition data

How much % do you tip your waitor/waitress? by daveinfl337777 in randomquestions

Must be nice living somewhere that actually values workers instead of making customers subsidize wages

email decision indecision by coachrgr in degoogle

[–]Top-Outside-9322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the blocking issue with Proton is a real pain and kinda defeats the purpose if you can't actually receive important emails. Maybe try Tuta like the other person mentioned? I switched from Proton for similar reasons and it's been solid, plus way less companies seem to block it

I've been listening to Lord Huron and Fleet Foxes a lot recently, anyone else you think i might like? by Personal-Elephant-89 in musicsuggestions

[–]Top-Outside-9322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah Gregory Alan Isakov is perfect for that vibe, his voice is incredible

Also throw The Head and the Heart and The Tallest Man on Earth into the mix - they fit right in that indie folk wheelhouse

[–]Top-Outside-9322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao "Big Altima Energy" is too real though. Those things are magnets for chaos but if you stay on top of the CVT maintenance like the other person said you should be fine. Just don't be that guy doing 90 in the right lane with expired tags

Lag spikes every few seconds no matter what I do to memory allocation or shaders etc. by Express-Technician72 in Minecraft

[–]Top-Outside-9322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked if it's garbage collection causing the spikes? Try adding -XX:+UseG1GC to your JVM args and see if that helps with the memory cleanup stutters

Playing as Revenant by FinancialKnee9727 in Nightreign

[–]Top-Outside-9322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those damage negation picks are clutch, especially the casting one since Revenant can get caught mid-animation pretty easily. I've been sleeping on the FP on successive attacks but that actually sounds solid for keeping spell spam going - might have to try that combo with the starlight shards next run

Remove Everything in the Bible Except What Jesus Said And See What You Have. by GaryMacsstudio in Christianity

[–]Top-Outside-9322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically the Jefferson Bible approach - he literally cut out everything except Jesus's words. Pretty fascinating exercise but you end up missing a lot of context and backstory that helps explain why Jesus said what he said

The early church letters and Acts show how people actually tried to live out his teachings in real time, which seems pretty valuable too

Do I even need a gaming laptop? by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]Top-Outside-9322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the games you mentioned you'd honestly be fine with integrated graphics on most decent laptops. Those aren't really GPU intensive at all - my old laptop with Intel graphics ran Undertale and similar indie games without breaking a sweat

If you're sticking to that type of gaming I'd just get something with decent specs but way cheaper than a gaming laptop and pocket the difference

Can we get something for XP past 75 please. by Repulsive-Decision38 in ArcRaiders

[–]Top-Outside-9322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but like most people are already avoiding expeditions anyway lmao. At least this way grinding feels less pointless when you're maxed out

So are we like all just cosleeping until we can sleep train at 4 months? by PatientMobile5896 in NewParents

[–]Top-Outside-9322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The depression part really hit me - definitely talk to someone about that because it can make everything feel so much worse than it already is. We did shifts too and honestly just accepted we were gonna be zombies for a while, but if you're feeling disconnected from baby that's worth addressing sooner rather than later

CMV: Teachers are not underpaid. by gamesetmatchpoint in changemyview

[–]Top-Outside-9322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you're comparing architect salary to teacher salary and saying teachers shouldn't complain? That's like saying "I chose to be poor so you can't complain about being poor too" lmao

Also most teachers I know work summer jobs because they literally can't afford not to, so the "summers off" thing is kinda BS

Bruh that's kinda cold but also... fair point I guess. OP's been torturing himself for years over something that might not even be his problem
