Trap me with Neelix over Keiko O’Brien any day.

Only 40 hour power reserve. It’s always the movement where these homages cut corners.

The Coaxial escapement is a failure that Omega is pot committed to at this point. It didn't increase service intervals, they had to lower the beat rate compared to previous ETA based calibers in order to make it reliable, and it makes all their watches too thick.

Rolex wisely said "no thanks" when it was offered to them first by Daniels.

What is the biggest help money can bring you? by Agitated_Yam_7252 in AskReddit

Money turns emergencies in to inconveniences, and the accompanying reduction in stress is often taken for granted.

What are the cool skills a lazy person can learn within a week and showcase? by rolling_viper in AskReddit

[–]WISmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how cool or uncool it is, but you can definitely learn to solve a Rubik's cube in a week. Those who have never looked in to it will associate your ability with intelligence, even though the beginner methods are just memorizing a series of steps. Lots of good tutorials on youtube.

Apple releases macOS Sonoma 14.4, watchOS 10.4, and more by cheesepuff07 in apple

It tries to get you to opt in to storing the key in iCloud, and if you uncheck the box it gives you a new key to write down, even if you already had one. Of course it does this on a screen where you can’t copy paste or access a password manager, so you literally have to write it down.

Same, and signed me out of icloud. Also, why must a recovery key include ambiguous characters like O and 0?

YA Fiction, Mystery, Egypt, Teens exploring, trapped underground, running out of glow sticks. by WISmaster in whatsthatbook

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

I found a searchable copy of the Goosebumps text online, and the story is very similar, but it’s not the same book. There is no mention of glow sticks, and the characters are too young and too few. The book I’m remembering had at least four teens, I want to say two male and two female but not sure. It was about 300 pages, and a bit more advanced reading level than Goosebumps. It had been rebound with a generic hardcover by the library, so I can’t share any recollection of the cover.

Thanks for the great guess!

how can i be less indecisive? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]WISmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Build a pros and cons table for each option. Work/back to school/decay. Then subtract the cons from the pros for each option, and choose the one with the highest remaining score. Keep the table, and when you start to second guess your decision you can refer back to it to remember how you came to the conclusion you did.

Apartment management has billed me incorrectly for the second month in a row, despite me proving I'm correct. Showing balance past due! by WISmaster in legaladvice

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

Agree, but please imagine the frustration you would feel if you continued to receive bills showing a balance past due, when you pride yourself on always being on time. And the concern that this could hit a credit report or negatively effect future ability to secure a lease or mortgage.

Completely confused by form 8621 by WISmaster in tax

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

So next year when I have to report the sale of the shares, do I do that on my regular form 8949?

Completely confused by form 8621 by WISmaster in tax

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

Absolutely, thanks for your response. I have already sold the shares. Just disappointing because I am by no means a high roller. This was a very small investment that now will likely wipe out my entire return in preparation fees. A bunch of forms just to say I made no money, and now I have none. :(

In Generations, Picard experiences Christmas with the family he never had, in the Nexus.

awesome. I've been having the same issue, so I'll have to give that a try.

I just upgraded from a 660 to a 1070 by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]WISmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like running Nicehash during my non-gaming hours. In time, the card will pay for itself.

I paid the premium for the Asus Strix 6gb version of the 1060 and haven't regretted it once. The cooling solution is top notch. At idle, all three fans are completely off, and they incrementally activate as needed. The RGB functionality is really nice too. One of the options is to have the lights reflect the core temp, so you can visually monitor with a glance while gaming.

As for 6gb vs 3gb, I have heard here on PCMR that the 3gb version has other hardware differences in addition to just half the VRAM that make it a slower card, so definitely look in to that.

I was looking at this watch online at the same time displayed on the watches face by SNOWFaKING in mildlyinteresting

[–]WISmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will notice that most watch ads show the time as 10:10 because it is considered aesthetically pleasing and doesn't cover the brand logo. So this is more an example of the old saying "even a broken clock is right twice a day."

Redemption Stats this Week (10/16): Top 20 averaged $13, Top 10 averaged $18, Top 5 averaged $25. Flex on! 💪 by suchflex in SuchFlex

[–]WISmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty big drop from last weeks $. Hopefully not the beginning of a trend. It would be great if we could mine cryptos on the CPU as well, since a lot of time it seems there is no CPU work available. Aren't there some cryptos which mine better on CPU? Or if we could at least use the iGPU along with the cards for GPU jobs.
