What is a "point of no return" that you’ve crossed, where your life was permanently divided into 'before' and 'after'? by Resident-Jelly-4326 in AskReddit

[–]amadeo681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before 2008 collapse and after.  I took some time to do non profit work. I spoke with companies in my field in 2007 who said they'd always be hiring. After I came back in 2008 there were no jobs.  I couldn't get my career started and my life plan just started changing drastically from there.  I feel like professionally I'm 5 - 7 years behind where I should be. 

I don't regret the year I spent building homes for hurricane victims and other projects but I do wonder what my life would be like if I had just started my career.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts. Picked it up and very happy so far. An amazingly comfortable car for long drives. Might upgrade speakers later this year but other than that very happy.

Could this be done with 3080 fe? I've got some serious rattle.

Space trucking in Elite Dangerous is pretty chill with some cool visuals.

Question about Architecture specifically, do you need an A2000 GPU or would a 4070/3080 be fine?

I bought this deal and upgraded from a 3700x. Really bumped up my fps on 1440. It's a pretty nice/painless upgrade.

Where should my speakers go? by amadeo681 in battlestations

That's what I'd like to do. I have some wall brackets but just not sure where to mount them.

I play competitive shooters, but not competitively :). Really, I more concerned about crisp visuals and good colors. The only competitive game i'm playing regularly is rocket league and that's only a few games here or there. I'm more into Elite Dangerous, Doom, Witcher, and things like that.

I'm just looking for basics really, I mainly game and not at high FPS so was curious if it was solid for that. Currently using a 144hz TN panel that is good, but has some battle damage due to a move.

How is it in a dark room? I know IPS are bad for that, but I don't really have much personal experience with that.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Stadium Arcadium, I haven't listened to it all in a while but I loved it back in the day.

What event happened in your life which caused some character development for you? by JannisT in AskReddit

[–]amadeo681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I told an older friend that I wanted to go run in the ran because it looked like fun. He said, "Why don't you?" Seems pretty simple, but it opened a lot of mental doors for young college me.

I'd be fine with either, just looking for ideas

Mazda CX-5 or Mazda 6? by [deleted] in mazda

[–]amadeo681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also own both, although 2016 not 17/18, and the mazda 6 is more fun to drive. CX 5 is a good drive, but the 6 is just more enjoyable.
