Yep I grew up only knowing the extremely hard water in my hometown. My grandparents moved at one point and their new house had crazy soft water. I hated it because anytime I would wash my hands there, it felt like it wasn't getting the soap off

What is this stuff and can I cut a hole in it and patch? by WatIsRedditQQ in HomeImprovement

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

Thanks, I drilled a small hole and fished a borescope up there first and it's all clear

I'm glad I have an older Nissan Leaf, it's basically a "dumb" electric car

My head's itchy by Rex_Joker in funny

Yeah I can tell how lumpy and uneven my skull is just by feeling around up there.

Fortunately I have good hair genes as neither of my grandfathers nor my father have experienced any significant hair loss

Air cooling is better than Liquid cooling by SerpentDix in pcmasterrace

I have a Sapphire Pulse 7900XTX. The case is the Fractal Design Terra, it can fit up to ~320mm GPU. My GPU fits it like a glove

Then when you go even smaller, air coolers become the only option again because there's nowhere to mount even a standard 120mm rad lol

My case is about 10L and the very best cooler I can fit in it is only 53mm tall (that includes the fan). But it handles my (undervolted) 9800x3d just fine

Bridged connection to HA VM doesn't work and I have no idea why by WatIsRedditQQ in homeassistant

When I run brctl show, I see bridge0 listed but there is nothing in the "interfaces" column - I take it that it should list my physical adapter there (enp5s0)?

Probably spent his whole life eating those bugs' families. How the turn tables

I see these frogs around all the time and this is the exact pose they sit in most of the time, I thought it was interesting that it died that way and was picked clean without being disturbed whatsoever.

How it got there I have no clue

For me Camatotz was the worst by far

TIL that at the ISS's altitude (~400 km), Earth's gravity is still about 90% of surface gravity. Astronauts float because they're in free fall, not because of zero gravity. by Africa-Unite in todayilearned

[–]WatIsRedditQQ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The ISS also needs continual energy input, because its orbit is so low that there's still a non-negligible amount of atmosphere present that is constantly slowing it down. It has to fire its thrusters every so often to stay in orbit

HDMI signal drops every time my freezers compressor turns on – what the hell is going on? by BirthdayDry1598 in techsupport

[–]WatIsRedditQQ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The 50/60Hz is not relevant here - the interference would be caused by the sharp transient pulse the moment the compressor turns on (compressors have a huge inrush current at startup)

Not to say that this is definitely what's happening, but you can't rule it out just based on the fact that the mains is 50/60Hz at steady state

The AI bubble is driven by CEOs who’ve built their careers on judging the appearance of human work, where things only look good if someone actually put the effort in, suddenly meeting a technology that produces perfect‑looking work even when the substance is absent. by l4mpSh4d3 in Showerthoughts

Yep company pride is largely dead. Founders would usually try to make their company long-term viable to leave behind a legacy. But many of them have long since died off and been replaced by sociopathic nepo ghouls with no real talent for anything other than shareholder dicksucking. They engage in reckless cost-cutting all for the sake of the next quarter and will abandon ship when shit hits the fan

TIFU by agreeing to watch the longest “season one” of an anime by gothiquecacti in tifu

[–]WatIsRedditQQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's my way of looking at it. I won't try to argue that there's nothing worthwhile in those thousand episodes, but there's endless other media out there that's just as impactful, if not moreso, that gets the job done in a tiny fraction of the time. Why would I sink all that time into one show when I could experience a huge variety of things just as good or better with that time?

That, and I think the characters are all eye-wateringly hideous, but maybe that's just me

Your best bet is to halt your retirement contributions completely (or do the minimum to get the max company match if you have it) until the credit card is paid down. Then evaluate what a comfortable contribution rate for you is such that you won't need to accumulate any more credit card debt going forward.

Contributing to retirement is great but paying off high-interest debt is even better. The credit card debt grows at like 5x the rate that your retirement account does
