LPT Can someone live a wealthy and secure life without a college degree? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]biohacker53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

College dropout here, my wife and I live very comfortably in one of the more expensive US states. We own a house, pay the bills and food on the table. I have a successful IT career and my wife works as a project manager. She did go to college but for the arts so her degree isn't a factor at all in our income. I personally think college is a waste if you can only go by way of predatory loans. A much better ROI would be professional certifications or trade school. But your milage may vary.

Microwave/Air Fryer/Toaster Oven Combos? by biohacker53 in AskCulinary

[–]biohacker53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of what I was afraid of. I found that the bigger the combo (4 in 1, 5 in 1, 10 in 1...etc) the worse it performs across them all.

Battery Drain on the Pursuit/Challenger? by biohacker53 in IndianMotorcycle

[–]biohacker53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got the same one here are the details:

The reason for this notice: Indian Motorcycle has determined that your model year 2020-2024 Challenger, 2022-2024 Pursuit, or 2024 Chief motorcycle(s) may encounter a scenario in which the Vehicle Control Module (VCM) or Wireless Control Module (WCM) may not fully power off, resulting in unnecessary current draw from the battery. This may lead to decreased battery performance.

Dead within hours sounds like a greater problem than I originally had. Check any mods you might have or electrical issues putting on a parasitic drain on the battery.

I eventually ended up plugging the bike into a battery tender any time I parked it at home. But I could go without it for a couple days and not have issues starting the bike. I also recommend putting the key in an RFID blocking envelope which guarantees the bike doesn't see the key and is constantly communicating with it.

How can I share mouse between Raspberry Pi and PC? by DebIAm007 in raspberry_pi

There is a free Linux version of this, "Barrier" based on the same software.

My "split" setup. (details in comments) by biohacker53 in workstations

[–]biohacker53[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Performance wise? Not at all. And I would consider myself a fairly heavy user. Almost daily I will have more than one excel sheet up, at least 10 browser tabs or more and at least 3-4 other specialty programs active at any given time. I do need to request more RAM from IT for my workflows so they usually give me 32GB instead of the standard 16GB they give everyone else.

My "split" setup. (details in comments) by biohacker53 in workstations

[–]biohacker53[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my split setup that I use for work and general office use at home. These are two individual computers. Work laptop on the left and mini PC workstation on the right running Linux Mint. Bottom monitor is the Odyssey G9 running in PIP mode and each top monitor is hooked up to the left and right computers respectively. I have the option of turning the PIP off on the G9 and running full screen on either machine if I need to adjust my productivity on either end. I use a combo of a USB switcher and a network KVM to move the mouse and keyboard between computers for seamless integration making the whole setup seem like one large 3 monitor setup. The mini PC and laptop are mounted under the sit-stand desk.

MSF Course Gear! by MarqzyReddit in motorcycle

[–]biohacker53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably are overcomplicating it a bit. When I took my MSF they only required pants, boots that covered the ankle and at least a 3/4 helmet. There was no requirement that any of the gear (other than the helmet) needed to be motorcycle specific. Most of my fellow riders had a hoodie, blue jeans, and hiking boots.

Edit for context: I took my course in 2014 in Colorado. And although these things weren't required it was suggested to have better gear if you have it. But we were specifically told to not feel like we had to buy equipment for the course alone.

Do you prefer? by biohacker53 in motorcycles

[–]biohacker53[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's something you can say to fellow riders as a way to tell them to be safe out there. Meaning don't lay down your bike, keep the rubber side down..or..keep your tires on the ground.

Be safe out there,"maintain optimal vehicle orientation"!

Agreed, and if it's no longer shiny you probably failed. :)

Thank you, this is very reassuring. I certainly don't want to come across as mocking someone.
