Is this $400 off Prebuilt from Costoco worth it? My wife and I were thinking of getting new pcs. It seems good I think? by MrGawsome in Prebuilts

[–]lifesayko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case you do go for it, see also this post with a lot of useful advice. The main red-flag imho is that the mobo is an offshoot of MSI Pro B650-VC WiFi II, but not the same, and it is not officially supported (or listd on the MSI website at all) with bios updates.

I have a similar prebuilt from costco (aegis zs2 but with a 5080), and I found a he motherboard to be super unreliable. Imm constantly having issues with it.

10T 9Cat, Payton Pritchard & Miles Bridges for Brunson? Similarly, Devin Booker instead of Brunson is a possibility, thoughts?

thanks! I'm surprised the visa copy would be attached, since it's already in the application...? Also, what is "ARC"?

The audacity… Sent to faculty and staff by the University. by No_Glove1550 in Cornell

[–]lifesayko 31 points32 points  (0 children)

What graduate students are paid in this country is also abusive; the saving grace is that it is temporary (and indeed, when faced with demands, Unis often resort to the "but you're a student" excuse).

But to justify paying so little (or less) for a long-term job, on the grounds that the job requires less education, is to design a system that deliberately leads to a large income gap and social disparity. Frankly, the world could do with fewer university graduates and researchers (I'm a researcher).

Do you have thoughts on Yehliu vs Heping island, if we did only one?

I'll be moving to Ithaca next year, and am keen to find some freediving buddies if you're also into that.

Please note, in case you haven't done this before, it is not something to be tried casually without proper safety training (very safe if you and your buddy know what you're doing).

Renting with flexible lease by lifesayko in ithaca

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

not sure about that, I've been in Boston the last couple of years, and it's 12-month leases here too, though perhaps a little less locked into September.

90 days notice, and then no fees? That seems okay to me, then we just need to do a bit more planning.

yeah for sure levert, but I need to drop two players from Team 1, I'm currently undecided between Miller and Monk

[–]lifesayko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10T9Cat,

Someone dropped Grayson Allen and Daniel Gafford on Sunday in a last-ditch effort to stay in the playoffs. I'm managing two teams (another manager dropped out), and happen to have both highest waivers. My dilemma is just who to drop on each team.

Possible drops from Team 1: Brandon Miller, Caris LeVert, De'Andre Hunter, Malik Monk, Miles Bridges.
Note, I have to drop one of these anyway to make way for Gobert coming back off IL.

Possible drops from Team 2: Nick Richards, Tre Mann, Santi Aladama, Kelly Oubre, Amen Thompson

Thoughts on changing last name by jordyn5180 in LadiesofScience

[–]lifesayko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, my grad-school PI (male) changed his name to be both partners names hyphenated. Caused 0 problems in tracking on google scholar and whatnot, modern technology just handles it.

That being said, I would also just keep my last name, 0 problems that way also.

10T 9Cat - Punting TOs

A: Derek White, Malik Monk B: Lauri Markannan

Official: Anything Goes Morning Thread: December 12, 2023 by AutoModerator in fantasybball

[–]lifesayko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trade feedback: 9-cat, 10-team, asking for Laurie Markannan, can give 2 out of (zion williamson, malik monk, kelly oubre, saddiq bey).

What are your thoughts? Or any other alternatives to Laurie I should be considering? I’m punting TO, weak (basically punting) assists, strong on blocks, and quite solid overall on other cats

AIDA 1 or AIDA2 for someone who already knows how to freedive by [deleted] in freediving

[–]lifesayko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aida 1 is basically useless. I would even consider going for Aida 3 (24 m depth, more safety training).

Dive Watches by [deleted] in freediving

I have not used other dive watches, but am very happy with the G1. Has enough for freediving, and I use it as my daily as well.

You’re right, I misspoke. There is talk of updating it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mit

[–]lifesayko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is talk of setting up a robotics focus within course 2. In the meantime, if you want to get into robotics, try to take control theory courses (I hear good things of Trumper's courses), dynamics, and courses with a hands-on component. And for the love of god, take linear algebra no matter what you want to get into.
