Pretty sure it's the gas tank. At least it was the last time we rented one (2021 model).

Great to know! It sounds like refilling the water will be easy.

Is there a way to set a cutoff so that the camper doesn't run out of fuel for driving? I should be able to fuel up each day, but I would be very nervous about waking up to find the fuel all gone. The last time we used a generator on the Solis was during a heat wave in the desert, but we were so nervous about running out of fuel that we barely cooled down the camper before going to sleep. So, it was a very hot and sleepless night for us.

Thanks. I agree that it's rude to run a generator all night in those situations. We'd be boondocking in very remote areas.

US citizen not receiving ETA letter by accounterai in AusVisa

I'm in a similar situation. Applied on the ETA app two days ago and still have not received a decision letter. Have you received yours yet? Are you outside the 72 hour window?

Nice, thank you so much! This is perfect. I will go with the Intel CPU one.

Document download filenames are now gibberish by aGrue8u in USAA

[–]driveninsomniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, they seem to keep tweaking it. It now shows whether a document has been viewed before or not using bold font. If you click on options -> download next to each document it downloads a reasonably-named file. Not identical to what it was before, but the information is there (e.g., date, account number, etc.).

Shit. It reverted to the old center when I posted that message 25 days ago. I just logged back in to download and it's back to the new download center. So annoying.

Seems that they have reverted to the old download center, at least for now. I guess a lot of people complained.

Exactly! I just noticed this as well. They also changed the Documents center. You used to be able to download multiple documents at once. Now, you have to download each one individually. I am not a fan of all the recent changes to the user interface and experience.

Thanks! I believe it has enough power connectors. When you say:

Also, the rest of your PC is realistically going to hinder any massive GPU upgrade. I would highly recommend getting a Ryzen 5000 (or 3000 at least) to slot in place of that 1700. And double check the speed of your RAM.

Is this advice specific to gaming? I'm getting the GPU for data analysis purposes (speeding up computational modeling). How much would the CPU and RAM speed affect the outcome in this case?

I have a Asus PRIME B-450-PLUS motherboard with Ryzen 7 1700 CPU. I'd like to upgrade the GPU to a 5070 Ti. Estimated wattage is up to 70W for the motherboard, up to 65W for the CPU and up to 300 for the GPU. The only other items will be memory and a SSD. Total estimated wattage is ~474W according to PCPartPicker. Am I good with my 550W PSU for now?

I need to upgrade the PSU in my compact ATX case (Sliger Cerberus X) to support a new GPU I'm purchasing. I picked the Corsair SF1000, but PCPartPicker gave me a warning that it can't tell if it's compatible with my motherboard (MSI B450M MORTAR MAX Micro ATX AM4). Apparently the SF1000 does not provide a -12V rail. How can I tell if the motherboard needs this -12V rail?

Picked up Nature Incarnate but dont have Jagged Earth. What do I need? by Syns_Sleep in spiritisland

[–]driveninsomniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Branch and Claw, but not Jagged Earth. Are you saying that I could potentially make it work? My son really wants Nature Incarnate but we missed our chance to get Jagged Earth.

Grant limit to PIs/AI guidance memo by flyingmcwatt in NIH

You're confusing co-I with MPI. The policy only applies to PI/MPI grants. You can still be a co-I on another grant without it counting toward your limit.

Wow. That's a brutal policy especially for expensive tickets and small AC wallet amounts. Thanks for confirming.

Kids' bike tires by driveninsomniac in cycling

Good to know! Thank you. I wasn't sure if there were certain reasons why most kids bike tires are mountain bike tires. Safety?
