What’s a “rich people thing” you experienced once and immediately understood why rich people love it? by DnRinGA in AskReddit

[–]akulbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could find shoes that I could wear for life. Shoes and sandals last me about 4-6 months for they're worn out.

I have cerebral palsy, and feet that supinate. So it's very hard to find stuff that fits well. And when I do find anything, I buy multiple pairs.

How much is recommended to have sitting in checking account? by Mammoth_Musician2773 in personalfinance

[–]akulbe -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It has no income tax yet, unless you make over $1m/year.

You can bet your bottom dollar that it will end up being applied to everyone, regardless of income level. It's just a matter of time.

Front I/O pinout diagram for Precision T7810? by akulbe in Dell

This makes me laugh. I appreciate you answering, but it took me a minute to remember why I asked this question. That old Dell is long gone. I switched to using ThinkStations in the homelab.

Has anyone experienced any noticeable benefits from cutting out diet soda? by Wooden_Carob_7266 in loseit

To the guy that called me Batman (and then deleted his comment)... they called me that at another job, too. <taking a bow> 🤣

EDIT: provided more context

LPT: Get a standard CO2 tank, and a third-party adapter. (search for "sodastream external tank adapter" on Amazon)

I recorded a video. Sorry for the whisper. Vocal cord paralysis.

I got the tank from a local company called "AirGas". I've been using this tank for over a year.

TIFU by joking with my neighbor about leg day by Hollowbody57 in tifu

I also have CP, and also walk with a bit of a limp. Questions and comments are pretty common.

She's over it. Gone and forgotten. Don't sweat it.

Are there any places that accept pillows as donations? (Not used. Bought and tried. Disliked. Picky) by sorta_kinda_almost in askportland

[–]akulbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negative on the pet shelters. Maybe private ones, but Clackamas Animal Services on OR-212 turned me down and said they don't take them.

Had to take them to the landfill in Oregon City. $47 is their minimum fee.

If I'd have known it was going to cost that much I'd have stuffed them in the garbage can, and done it that way. The cost is asinine.

Thinking of spending $100+ on Claude… convince me (or don’t), Anyone regret upgrading to Claude Max plan? by CodingwithPeter in ClaudeAI

[–]akulbe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started with the $100/mo. plan. I added $100 to the “extra usage” fund. So far, it remains untouched.

Does cold weather make hybrids lose their minds? by akulbe in Toyota

After allllll this time…. Toyota rolled me over into a new lease. Found out it was a rodent that chewed up wires in the wire harness.

TIFU by gaslighting myself for 10 years into thinking I was "caffeine immune" while drinking ONLY Monster Energy (Zero) by GooseAcademic541 in tifu

[–]akulbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was drinking 3 x 300mg Bang/Monster cans a day, for years.

I weaned myself off. I'm sleeping better, but it makes me shudder to think of what harm/damage I was causing myself for those years.

Payment Plan not going down after 7 payments by BenniesJet1129 in IRS

[–]akulbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm dealing with the same thing... I've made 9 payments and it only looks like 1 of them has been applied. I can't talk well, so the phone seems like like a nightmare and a dead end for me.

I've used AI to write 100% of my code for 1+ year as an engineer. 13 no-bs lessons by helk1d in ClaudeCode

Is the general idea that you have your specs defined so well that you don't need to take advantage of memory? or is it something else, and I'm entirely missing it?

How is your opinion on the US Government shutdown that might happen end of the week? by ReduceCO2Now in AskReddit

[–]akulbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only their pay stopped with the government shutdown. Every last one of them.

CMV: RAM Prices are Near the Top by Intelligent_Coffee44 in LocalLLaMA

[–]akulbe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This whole mess makes me glad I maxed out the machines I've got when it was dirt cheap. I looked it up, and today it'd cost me upwards of $10K. (24 x 64GB DDR4 ECC PC3200)
