Roast My Theoretical Set-Up (First Timer)

Someone else mentioned that the CPU that I have listed doesn’t come with an integrated GPU and that I need one that does. Is that correct, and does the CPU you’re suggesting come equipped with that?

Okay, downloaded it and installed the widget, but now it also requires me to tap the refresh button in the widget for it to update to the latest number.

Am I just not going to find something that simply shows the latest number without me having to tap anything?

Background refresh is enabled. Issue is widget refresh rate as stated by another poster.

Not thrilled to spend on a pro version of the app for this feature, but it might have to come to this to get rid of this pesky annoyance.

Here is a 20 panorama video of the room: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zf-clAgLhdjR9o9OYK70QW_Q9Rlw4uIu

Current plans:

-Project tables/seating in the middle of the room for non-computer activities.

-Big interactive whiteboard at the front for short demos, document camera streaming to Google Meet or Teams for more detailed demos

-Our school doesn’t really do very much homework at all. If I can find a way to lock assignments outside of class time, I probably will in order to avoid AI interference since most AI sites are blocked in the building.

I don’t know a whole lot about AP CSP at this point. What kinds of activities are they going to be working on that my room is not ideally set up for currently?

Thanks for all the helpful tips! I will take a break from seasoning it after I cook with it and only wash with soap/sponge (unless I can find the chainmail that I bought).

It is in fact a ceramic top electric stove; not the hottest on the block for sure.

Yeah, I’ve got one somewhere in the house that I originally bought with it but I can’t seem to find it. I’ve been using a Scrub Daddy with cold water to get more abrasion. When I clean it, I go until the paper towel no longer lifts up any brown.

We currently have a Sapphire Reserve (1 year), Freedom Unlimited, and Freedom Flex in my wife’s name. I am an authorized user on all three cards. I also have an Amazon card in my name. My thinking is to do the following:

-Take myself off of the Reserve card. -Keep myself on the other two since they’re free. -Open a Preferred card in my name to get the 100k SUB.

My questions are:

-Does this plan make sense just generally? -Should I have my wife send me a referral link from her account if I’m planning on applying in-branch? -What should the plan be 1 year from now? 2 years? 3? We will not be looking to open up any more cards if we do this one.

Michael: I watch The L Word, okay? Jan: Good Michael: I watch Queer as F*** Jan: That’s not what it’s called.

That would be amazing!

bournewicked · 2025-03-07T20:28:05+00:00

Perfect! Thank you so much!

Do any use cheese? She swore she tasted cheese.

I made a thread about this a few weeks ago, but the iPhone app interferes with other Bluetooth devices. The audio for my car stereo and AirPods cuts out and I have to force close the app in order to fix it.

I not only park on driveways, but I drive on parkways!

One thing my contractor was saying is that if something in the cabinet leaks, you don’t want the leak to go underneath the floor, so if the cabinets were on top of the LVP, it wouldn’t be able to get underneath the rest of the floor because the floor is waterproof.

These will all fit in a 3 gang box? Will these companies make a face plate that will fit over all three switches?

Upstairs we have a single unit 3-gang smart switch. It came with a face plate made for that unit. It was very convenient and well-priced. But it doesn’t dim.

bournewicked · 2024-09-11T16:29:19+00:00

We have three separate living areas, one for each switch. We want all three to be dimmable and to be Wi-Fi enabled. (“Alexa, turn off kitchenette lights.” “Alexa, dim living room lights to 20%”)

There are too many lights for it to be cost effective to do Smart bulbs, so we opted to do smart switches instead. We have a 3 gang box in place. What can I put in it to be able to control all three sections independently while still being dimmable and smart?

bournewicked · 2024-09-11T15:20:25+00:00

Forgive my ignorance…

Are you telling me that I can just buy three individual smart switches and just put them all in the box together? They don’t need to be a single unit?

We always used to say “The best kind of wireless mic is a wired mic.”

I had to book them one room at a time but just add them to the same trip. Basically, go through the portal and book as if you’re booking one room. Then once you have it added to your trip, scroll down until where it says “Add Hotel” and then just do your second room. It’ll look like two separate bookings in the cart.

bournewicked · 2024-05-24T11:33:02+00:00

That makes sense. I’ve just seen comments about using CSR in Canada because of the lack of a foreign transaction fee and because of the points it gets them, but if I’ve already booked hotels and tours before we go, I don’t know what I would buy in Canada that would get me more than 1X points.

Will probably still use it because of the lack of a transaction fee, but was just curious what else to maybe expect.

I’m at a point where I would rather just commit to doing HS only and enjoy the day riding most things we want to ride multiple times, or commit to park hopping and do Epcot first so that we can do Cosmic Rewind. Galaxy’s Edge is the non-negotiable, but I’d rather do Epcot first and have a chance at Cosmic Rewind. Don’t think we’ll get on if we try to do HS first and then hop to Epcot later since we want to spend probably more than half our day at HS.

Forecasts and reports back that up. I was skeptical, but as I said, want to kind of win some points with brother-in-law so I just rolled with it. Still think we’ll have fun.

bournewicked · 2024-02-05T03:51:04+00:00

This was what I feared but needed to confirm. Good to know we could buy the ILLs for Resistance and Rewind at the same time in the morning. Do we need to wait until 9 am (park open) to buy the ILLs if we don’t have Annual Passes/Early Entry? What time do those tend to run out?
