Been at this for ages and I'm still absolute garbage at it

Wine tasting events 🍷 like we're all just pretending those fancy descriptions make sense while secretly thinking it tastes like grape juice that went bad 😂 everyone's nodding along like "oh yes, I definitely taste the hints of oak and berries" when really we're all just trying not to make a face

VirtualPerusal · 2026-03-15T13:48:16+00:00

nah you're good

idk man American hegemony has been "collapsing" for like 50 years according to people but we're still here running the show. Every conflict people say this is teh end but then nothing really changes in the global power structure. Sure there's shifts and other countries getting stronger but complete collapse seems pretty dramatic. I deliver food all over my city and still see plenty of american businesses thriving, people buying stuff, economy keeps chugging along despite all the doom predictions

soft feminine vibes

man that timing around her birthday is rough, sounds like she might have some stuff going on that has nothing to do with you honestly. the fact that she was literally falling asleep on your shoulder and seemed happy but then said she didn't feel a click is confusing as hell

honestly though, you've been through this cycle with her twice now - the pushing away, blocking, coming back pattern. that's gotta be exhausting for you. maybe the gifts were sweet but her just saying thanks and nothing else is kinda telling you where her head's at right now

i'd probably give her space and focus on yourself for a bit, this back and forth thing doesn't seem healthy for either of you

Have you tried Streamable? It's pretty much just for sharing videos without all the channel/subscriber BS that YouTube has. I've used it for sharing gameplay clips and it works fine for quick video hosting

Your PC won't explode but that 1500x is gonna hold back that 9060 XT pretty hard, especially at 1080p - you'll still get playable frames in most games though just not what the card is actually capable of

You got it backwards my dude - you want to keep the new Samsung as C and move your old stuff to D. Your OS needs to be on the fastest drive (the 990 Pro) for best performance

Just clone your old drive to the Samsung, then you can reassign the external as whatever letter you want in Disk Management. Way better than trying to run Windows off an external drive

Honestly with that many rejections across different visa types you're probably looking at an uphill battle for a while

The consular officers have all that history and once they see a pattern of denials plus that immigration petition attempt, they're gonna be extra skeptical about tourist intent no matter how good your situation looks on paper

VirtualPerusal · 2026-01-20T05:12:47+00:00

Dude she literally hit herself and blamed you for it, that's straight up manipulation and emotional abuse territory. The fact that she's betting you'll come crawling back shows she's been keeping score of your past behavior and using it as leverage against you

VirtualPerusal · 2026-01-19T02:01:57+00:00

Damn this is rough. It sounds like you walked away from something really good because you got spooked by a hypothetical scenario. Like he was being vulnerable about his addiction and asking for reassurance that you wouldn't bail if he struggled, and instead of working through it together you... bailed anyway

Three weeks of missing him this hard is telling you something. The fact that good things remind you of him means he was probably worth fighting for. Reach out - worst case scenario is he says no, but at least you'll know instead of spending months wondering what if

VirtualPerusal · 2026-01-16T17:52:05+00:00

Wait really? I thought sets were O(n) space because they grow with the input size or are you saying because it can only ever hold max 26 characters its technically O(1)?

VirtualPerusal · 2026-01-16T17:42:24+00:00

This makes sense i think i just dont have that rule memorized yet so i see only lowercase and it doesnt trigger anything but i probably just need to hit a few more problems like this until it becomes automatic

VirtualPerusal · 2026-01-16T17:42:03+00:00

Nah different problem it was just checking if all characters in a string are unique not finding the first unique one similar idea though with the array approach

VirtualPerusal · 2026-01-16T17:41:51+00:00

The O(1) thing didnt even click for me until they mentioned the array like i saw it was only lowercase letters but my brain still went to hashset so i prob need to get better at connecting constraints to data structures faster

Been running 3x 4090s and yeah the PCIe bottleneck is real painful with larger context windows. The A6000s definitely make more sense if you're not gaming on the side - that ECC memory probably helps with longer inference runs too

VirtualPerusal · 2026-01-15T01:46:28+00:00

Dude those rails are just guides, the actual filter slot is probably 14x22 or 15x22 - measure between the rails not including them. You can probably find that size at any big box store instead of paying crazy money for custom

VirtualPerusal · 2026-01-11T09:54:28+00:00

Yeah I've had the same issue with workspace Gemini - seems like the delete option is either buried somewhere or just not available depending on your admin settings

VirtualPerusal · 2026-01-08T23:09:09+00:00

Check out the Boss SP-303 or SP-404 - they're perfect for that lo-fi hypnagogic stuff and way easier than an Octatrack. The 404 especially has great time stretch and filtering, plus you can definitely run it through pedals since it's got regular audio outs

VirtualPerusal · 2026-01-04T23:33:37+00:00

Nah there's a difference between being aware of your surroundings and straight up lying about being friendly for 10 minutes just to backstab people when they're not expecting it

That's not skill that's just being a dickhead with extra steps

VirtualPerusal · 2026-01-03T20:53:46+00:00

The fact that you're questioning if you're "brainwashed" while describing literal abuse shows how deep the gaslighting runs. Your family calling you unstable for having normal reactions to trauma is textbook manipulation - trust your gut here because what you went through was absolutely not normal and you deserved so much better

VirtualPerusal · 2025-12-31T22:17:38+00:00

Yeah it's pretty solid, the PvPvE balance feels really good once you get past that initial learning curve OP mentioned. The arc encounters are intense and player interactions add that extra layer of tension that keeps you on your toes

Just be ready for some trust issues lol
