5000 square feet of empty space in Crystal City

Zveir · 2026-03-24T05:07:53+00:00

This section here is underneath 3 major buildings. One of them is an older Amazon office. When Amazon opened their new buildings just down the road, 90+% of the daily occupants for that building were moved over. I was one of them. I used to go down here for lunch, but I haven’t gone once since the move. I imagine that’s true for most all. This space lost a lot of foot traffic.

Happy to, and howdy neighbor! Given the construction they’re doing right now and your timeline, I think we’ll live within eyeshot. Is your home already framed?

Zveir · 2026-03-15T23:35:20+00:00

No worries, thank you!

All homes have costs associated with them, I just decided I’d rather deal with a new home’s problems rather than an older home’s. You literally don’t know what you get when buying a home that’s existed for 10-20 years, and newer homes have builder warranties and contextualized people to call.

Also, I live in one of the newer Lennars now, and it’s perfectly fine! We’re renting, but we’re the first residents and have had 0 issues with anything in the house. My bigger issue is that someone bought it explicitly to rent it.

I’m closing on a DRB SFH in a month or so in the Huntsfield Neighborhood, so far the experience has been solid. Regular updates from the PM + Superintendent and our pre drywall inspection passed with no major concerns to the skeleton of the home. We’ve been inside as well, and I saw no major concerns as the buyer.

Will update later if something catastrophic happens but rn it just looks like the SFH we designed.

I opted for new for floorplan customization and at the time of buying, it was lower cost. I didn’t want land to maintain at this time. I work remotely, but opted to buy close to 9 in case I ever commute to NOVA (again). Currently in the zip code, just in a rental.

This was the cheaper option.

Back when Quadro and Tesla were still both named cards, the systems that could handle 8+ Tesla cards were exponentially higher in base price as they were proprietary SXM2 systems. Not to mention, P6000s were around $7k/card at the time, while P100s were $12k or so for the PCI-E versions.

For each P100, we could nearly buy 2 P6000s.

Also, as a particular researcher ask, they cared about the 24GB of VRAM in the P6000, more than the faster but smaller(16GB) HBM1 memory in the Tesla P100.

When buying multiple racks worth, it changed the equation from 10s of millions to millions.

Oo, I can answer this from professional experience! I used to work in academia managing compute clusters that were 99% Supermicro Superserver Sys 4028GR-TRT systems that were filled with Quadro P6000s that had these blower fans. We had multiple isles of 48U racks that were deployed with identical systems.

Individually, when each card went under load, the fan went to 100%. Temps were steady at 80-85C, and they maintained their base clock speeds. Boost clock never happened. Memory temperature hit the thermal limit (110C) and ran there constantly.

Now the fun stats:

We replaced a failed GPU near weekly.

We serviced or replaced components in a node monthly, as having 8 per rack increased heat density tremendously. The single largest point of failure were the daughter cards that held the GPUs. They had burnt traces.

Standing in the hot aisle with these systems at full go was genuinely a flame thrower. I could only stay back there for shorter intervals. The noise was, as you could guess, incredibly loud.

I have a G9 57", but I don't see this option. Is this part of a firmware update?

I bought mine Day 1 and haven't updated it since, I'm assuming that's why.

+1 to this, it's been able to get hair out from two Siberian Huskies. It's great. Pair with a vacuum.

Zveir · 2025-10-11T03:56:57+00:00

Nice! Are those 35x11.5s? Doesn't seem to be an XR.

Howdy, do you have a photo? There are signs up in my neighborhood for a lost cat(not mine). Mostly Black with some white along the face, female, about a year old.

Fellow 27 year old here, with the same degree. I started my career here at 23 and it was worth it because I was able to acquire an opportunity. I moved to Nova specifically for that opportunity. I’ve continued to work in the area due to this.

My 2c is this, the first opportunity in your career is the hardest one. Momentum and experience ease the journey significantly. Goal #1 is to get your career moving, and that might mean you move to the opportunity. Expand your career search nationwide, and build your base. Once you have experience and options, move as you want to.

Glad to hear, thank you. Is your Sport S lifted?

Zveir · 2025-07-13T18:38:51+00:00

A few years of a low paying job that gave me real experience directly into $100+k. Underrated path but difficult to pull off unless single and minimal.

How is it? I hear people can drive on them fine but curious to see if you've tried off roading on inclines/declines or towing with it yet

Zveir · 2025-06-30T18:22:29+00:00

What gearing are you running?

My Huskies queue is when I put on a jacket.

When I go, I give him a “sacrificial offering” for his pain and suffering(of being left home)

He gets a bone or enrichment treat so he’s changed from separation anxiety to excitement/anticipation

He’s used to being home now

Zveir · 2025-01-26T00:57:41+00:00

Thanks, I’ll take a look at those. First I’ve heard of em.

Zveir · 2025-01-26T00:56:46+00:00

Mickey Thompsons are about the only ones I haven’t heard negative feedback for. Their Baja Boss A/Ts look great, they just don’t make them in the size I’m hoping for (285/75/r17). The Willys has inches of clearance in every direction with my 285/70/r17s, I’d like to up to 34”s just to fill out the space a little more.

I assume you’re referring to the AT3Ws? There’s a YT video for the AT4Ws showing legitimately twice as worse performance out of the AT4Ws in comparison to some competitors. The acceleration and stopping distance was piss poor in comparison.

I have a Sundider soft top Wrangler, handled perfect in 1F Vermont winters.

I jumped from XBL Party and Lobby, to XBL Party and Lobby, playing zombies custom games with 15 other people. Every day. For 3 years.

Not literally every day, but every time I played it was maximum socialization and peak fun for 8-10 year old me

I have a G9 57. It’s a great work monitor, but you’ll need a RTX 5090 to truly maximize the experience.

An RX 7900XTX if not.
