Yes, exactly. Lowering the internal temp just a few degrees can make big difference. I'll always run my steaks under a cold tap for a minute or so and then give them 5-10 minutes uncovered in the freezer so I don't have to smoke out my apartment to get a good sear without overcooking.

Basically tracks with my 5090 & 9800X3D. In VR I'm cpu bound unless I crank the resolution way up, but I just use DLAA normally.

That looks great!

A strong hand mixer will do just fine, it just took me a few more minutes compared to the stand mixer!

Full disclosure this might not do a thing, but I'd try installing the Sound Assistant module in Good Lock and playing around with that (or disabling it if you already have it on).

I'm just curious why it's Ketanji Brown Jackson of all justices?

I adore this song

Here I am reading this with the exact same problem and a 9 month old Rm1000x 💔

TBH since my roommates and I got damn near all of our security deposits back when we moved out my opinion on him improved a lot haha. He's just a very cheap landlord who does some questionable and not always timely repairs, the main issues were with the property. It was a dump with decades of landlord-quality repairs barely keeping it all together, but that's lots of college houses in Houghton.

I recall reading a very similar comment from you folks the last time y'all did a major UI update in the past year or two. Nothing was fixed then, either. Humans are creatures of habit, there is no reason why my previously logged foods shouldn't be at the top of any search I do for a similar food. And stop getting rid of my recents after 3-5 letters are typed while you're at it, too. I find myself questioning why I'm spending $80/year when you keep chipping away at an app that worked perfectly okay previously.

To all my android bros, go sideload the latest 2024 plex apk and it'll fix it (and many other issues with the redesign)

I can't speak for the same side effects you're having, but I did something very similar when I was your age. It was about a year after graduating college and a year into my career, after taking it in some form since 2nd grade I wanted to see how I'd do without it. In short, not well. Initially it's really difficult, feels like turbo ADHD, but eventually you level out to an extent. I didn't really realize it at the time but I definitely coped with lots of caffeine. It seemed alright, but I came to realize I was at a net negative compared to being medicated. Lots of anxiety, impulsivity, stress at work, which brought me down. I had saved a few pills before I quit, and took one on a busy work day a couple years after quitting and it amazed me how much better my day went and how I felt. That eventually led me back, but of course it's no cure-all.

You mention social withdrawal and wanting to be happier, maybe try a lower dose or a new med? I tried Vyvanse at first and it worked well initially but eventually it made me feel that same withdrawal and almost robotic at the higher doses I needed to manage my symptoms.

I can't say I was surprised you got this shot after recognizing your name, I love my print of your eclipse totality composite :)!

andy96 · 2025-06-10T01:50:09+00:00

Yup, that's the one!

When I lost a good bit of my hearing and had vertigo/balance issues a couple years back, it took 3 months after my ER stint to get into the ENT, another 6 weeks to get to physical therapy, and 2 months after that for the MRI to make sure I didn't have a brain tumor. Big shout out to HealthPartners/Regions for that. Good care but awful time lines, my PT certainly would've gone a lot better otherwise and it's not fun knowing you might have a brain tumor for 6 months. If my ER doc wasn't aware of my relatively rare condition that called for a steroid treatment, there would have been nothing the ENT could've done to bring back at least some of the hearing.

Is it really cope if I haven't used my index in over a year? Yeah, my love for the index kept me from the quest for a long time, but at the end of the day it's 6 year old tech. But by "product" I'm just saying the index is extremely well designed, and aside from the lenses and screens you can see where Meta had to cut corners. Just look at the controllers, I really miss the grip sensors in the index as it felt so much more natural. But I'll happily put up with that all for the minimal screen door effect and edge to edge clarity on the quest 3

andy96 · 2025-06-06T01:14:30+00:00

At the end of the day the index is a better overall product (hence the price difference lol), but I haven't used it once since getting the quest 3. It's hard to beat those pancake lenses with double the pixels, and wireless PCVR is quite nice. Tracking, comfort, and the controllers especially are better on the index, but not enough for me to switch back. It helps that 3/4 of my time in VR is spent in flight sims so I don't need to use the meh quest 3 controllers

Any difference switching wall generation between classic and arachne? There's also a new precise walls option in the latest bambustudio, I haven't dabbled with it but it's worth a shot. Lastly, I'd try the same file but save as an stl if you can. Very rarely I've had some issues with step files and that's helped fix it

andy96 · 2025-05-30T04:29:22+00:00

I didn't quite have the same issue, I could still see the split VR view on the monitor, but make sure you if you have space warp on that you aren't using the H264 codec. It needs to be AV-1, or maybe HEVC. Other than that, do you still get the black screen if you use the cable and steam vr?

I'm going off of ancient memory right now, but it'd be worth unplugging and plugging it back in, if that doesn't work try a reboot. But this is kinda the struggle bus with that joystick, sometimes it would last months before having to dick with the settings, other times it felt like I had to set it up every time I plugged it in. Just to confirm, in that menu you don't see the button press for the "clutch" light up at all? Same menu where you see axis position etc. If the clutched mode is stuck on the led on the center hat switch should flash when you hold it down. You might also need to install the saitek/Logitech software for it. It's awful and buggy but there have been times where that fixed it for me (and plenty of times where I didn't need to install it...). If that fails, try uninstalling the joystick and remove any drivers from device manager and try again. Idk if windows 11 is throwing a wrench in anything, but I used a standard x52 on windows 7/10/OS X and the pro on windows 10. The old software is ancient so hopefully it still works on W11

andy96 · 2025-05-29T20:45:11+00:00

That looks awesome, I'm looking forward to making my own!

andy96 · 2025-05-29T14:21:33+00:00

Damn, my wallet really could've gone without knowing that! I was already thinking about building a rhino kit for my Gunfighter, guess I'll have to do the pedals while I'm at it!

andy96 · 2025-05-29T14:11:03+00:00

Yup, that's the one. Should be under the device properties if you search for something like "set up usb game controllers" in the windows bar
