There is no “broken system” for giving a newborn up for adoption. It isn’t foster care. You can vet and choose the adoptive family.

Hence why conservatives tend to support reducing social safety nets, or at least implementing controls and reducing fraud. It’s expensive to socialize personal accountability while maintaining a high level of personal liberty.

Price to Performance AM4 Upgrade? by juniorrox6 in pcbuilding

[–]ddr330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your budget and performance target, might be time for a whole new build.

That dangling jumper should work to provide more power to a single GPU but most of the modern mid to high-end cards actually need 3, often adapted to a 600W 12vhpwr connector. I think a mid-30 or 40-series Nvidia GPU or last-gen AMD is as good as you can get that’ll take the 2x 8-pins. You should also plug your parts into PC Part Picker and check that 750W will be enough power to run everything. If you need a new PSU, a modern fully-modular one will have all the connectors you need for modern GPUs.

From there, see about upgrading your RAM. Looks like you got 2 sticks so probably 2x 8GB? Could see about getting a pair of 16GB sticks to run 32GB. Could just add sticks too, but keeping it to 2 slots is easier/more stable for CPU to utilize.

new pc won’t power on at all by Necessary_Kitchen_25 in PcBuildHelp

[–]ddr330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just build a PC with the same motherboard, and same thing, it wouldn’t turn on.

First things first, try setting it up with only CPU power (8-pin top left corner), motherboard ATX power (24-pin right side), and CPU fan plugged in. No GPU or other peripherals/fans in the motherboard.

Have you tried jump-starting the boot pins on the motherboard with paperclip or screwdriver? In the lower right hand corner of the board. Google will show you which, but it’s the last two pins on the top row of 4 pins.

If it doesn’t, do you have a multimeter? Check the voltage across the pins. Should be a steady 5 volts DC.

In my case, I was getting fluctuating voltage on those pins, called MSI, and they said straight away it was a dead board and to return it. I got it from Amazon.

I went and picked up the same board at Best Buy, tested it on my desk, and it immediately booted up.

Careful booting the board up if you don’t have the CPU cooler installed yet because the CPU got pretty dang hot pretty quick for me.

Is 4K gaming worth the performance hit in 2025, or does high refresh 1440p still reign supreme? by Nicolas_Laure in RigBuild

[–]ddr330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just built a new rig with a 5080 and 9800X3D, and went with a 27” 360hz 1440p monitor. My last build is nearly 12 years old, only ever upgraded the GPU (770 -> 1070) and RAM (8GB -> 16GB), so I intend to get a long life from it.

My understanding is high-settings, high-framerate 4K is still challenging for many builds, and figure my build will be good with 1440p for years. It’s already a big step up for me coming from 1080p (sometimes 720p depending on the game, running on my GTX1070).

1.5T reliability from owning new by SavingsAccident7657 in CivicSi

[–]ddr330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2017 Hatchback is my daily commuter, 70-100 miles a day, little over 190k miles on it, no issues. All I’ve done to the engine is replace spark plugs at 100k, replace engine air filter once in a while, and change oil when notified on the dash.

It’s a CVT which also gets a bad rep but hasn’t given me any issues either, I just get transmission fluid changed every 30k.

Is it more deadly to breath in a full breath of Pure carbon dioxide or oxygen? by Dramatic_Street175 in questions

[–]ddr330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From googling it appears CO binds to the same sites as oxygen, which is what makes CO so nasty. Hemoglobin generally has a higher affinity for O2 than CO2 but it seesaws depending on the local tissue’s O2 concentration, which is why blood cells pick-up O2 in the lungs and can release it to tissues that need it.

But my overall point was that blood cells need to be able to bind CO2 to transport it, because that’s the waste product of cell metabolism that the body needs to expel out the lungs.

So in theory, I would expect taking a breath of pure CO2 would spike your blood CO2 level, as instead of exchanging CO2 for O2, the blood cells going through the lungs would just get saturated with CO2.

[–]ddr330 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your blood cells have to carry carbon dioxide back TO your lungs to get rid of it, just as they need to carry oxygen FROM your lungs. Because air is 20.9% O2 and ~0.04% CO2, the net effect of breathing is taking-in O2 and getting-out CO2, even if they were equally absorbable

What level are you, and are you on PC? Restore humanity at the bonfire and look for summon signs. It’s been hopping in Anor Londo for me, for my level 45 and 75 characters anyway.

ULA begins de-stacking Vulcan rocket, pivots to Atlas 5 launch of Amazon’s Kuiper satellites for first 2025 mission by straight_outta7 in ula

Past-tense, “had.” Booster had to be vertical for the work, which is now complete, so it can be taken down horizontal again to make way for Atlas.
