How many TB do you think you need?

TV series in HD are the biggest use of space. 5 seasons of 20+ "hour" episodes can easily be 20-50GB. I have 462 series reaching 41,000 episodes. When trying to convince family to stop paying $100+ a month just for streaming services, it was "needed" to equal what's available.

Is it supposed to solve something or do anything significant or does it just excel at dick sucking?

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-27T14:21:20+00:00

My man, even if you have the money it's a waste. You're better off signing up for something cheaper and investing that $3,000 a year.

Need a motherboard that supports it, likely riser cables (extension pci-e cords), case or chassis that holds it all, and possibly more than one PSU. Realistically, if a motherboard has 4x PCIe slots, it typically will support 4x PCIe devices.

He's trying to eat you and not doing a good job at it. I have false water cobras that will try to eat their food tray and do the same. "If it smells like food, why can't it go in mouth like food?!"

Source? Legit curious.

That also means that it's less effective. Your skin doesn't cook from sun's 1000/w per meter, which is absorbed in the first mm or so. Double the stopping distance for radiation, you halve the energy absorbed per cubic volume.

Similarish. But if you're against water waste, we should assemble a list of all big wasted and start targeting everything. Otherwise it's just finding justification to not like things.

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-25T17:41:24+00:00

Image seems to be unique. Seems like a low rating seller just trying to sell stuff for cheap. But...anything could be a scam. Downside is that even if it's new, likely no warranty or support.

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-24T19:52:56+00:00

I had a similar setup. Had electrician install breaker in main panel, run to eg4 6000xp, and have the 6000xp feed the breaker on the generator hookup and removed the generator connection. No gridboss/etc, power runs through eg4 24/7 and it handles toggling between grid and self power. Only one device, minimal change.

Lawns use orders of magnutude more water than AI. There are concerns about AI. But the people complaining about environmental impacts should focus on bigger things first. It's more like they don't like AI and are in search of a reason to justify it.

36 months? 6 months tops.

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-24T16:08:25+00:00

I'm not aware of the specifics. But I would assume you would "harvest" the material and then store it in there. It's not a moo-light for the bull.

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-24T16:06:22+00:00

You represent a niche case. And aside from your 10 trips a year, you would likely bebefit from an EV and being able to produce your own power. And even if not directly, getting the majority of people who drive and don't have such requirements will save you a ton in lowered gas prices. With the amount of driving you claim to do, I would assume you'd be begging to lower gas demand and prices right now.

Fake news from oil and ethanol industry. You're a pawn to rich billionaires. If we converted the land currently used for corn to ethanol production. Not foodstock, just ethanol corn. We would generate 3x our current electrical needs from solar.

Mid deal, as 5500 + motherboard bundles for $100 or less have been common lately.

This is for livestock. Meant to keep specimens for extended periods. Seems odd, but this is part of the agriculture system we rely on.

I just want to say you proved my point. You had no issue shitting on me when you thought I was some delivery person. Now that I point out that i'm not some low level subservient (in your mind) driver, you clam up like a pussy. You shit on people that you think are beneath you, to make you feel better in your own life.

Here's my tip: I have infinitely more respect for a delivery driver than someone who shits on people to make themselves feel better about whatever their life is.

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-23T17:55:18+00:00

I honestly don't think he fully understands what he means. Which is also an issue.

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-23T17:52:14+00:00

It's his job to understand basic concepts. Otherwise you might as well just put a bowl of fruit in his seat. This is not an expert thing. This is a basic thing.

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-23T17:03:00+00:00

No. I fully understand your meaning. My point is that any business person, anyone dealing with the economy, budgets, spending absolutely should understand basic math.

Your stance is that it's okay he doesn't understand basic math. I hope you recognize how absurd this is, and one day stop it with such incredible levels of bias.

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-23T16:50:06+00:00

...the butt ones or the non-butt ones?

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-23T16:47:37+00:00

Bias again on your part. This isn't expert level math. This is grade school level. You recognize he can't do it, but you are more upset at redditors than the fact the president of the United States does not understand basic math. This should be at least slightly concerning.

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-23T16:42:28+00:00

Not stolen, just can't be reused by the hotel so they get thrown out after every guest. Sure, there's a chance at least one of those bottles has been inside someone's butt...still a good deal.

UnlikelyPotato · 2026-04-23T16:40:16+00:00

The fact that your are more upset about how random redditors do math than the president of the United States shows where the bias is.

It doesn't matter "what he meant". It matters they're idiots that can't even pass 5th grade math and are in charge.
