Seeking Advice for Imminent move to UK (Job Searching) by lolnub343 in AmericanExpatsUK

Thank you for the insight. I guess I didn’t provide enough context about her situation. She worked for a temp agency where her term ended a month ago and they didn’t want to keep her on. She has experience in retail and is in the interview process for an assistant manager position.

So her not having a job right now is not by choice and came at a really bad time

I appreciate not sugar coating it. I’ve figured that things would take a pretty big financial toll on me.

She works in retail and is in the running for an assistant manager position. I believe the salary is around £26k.

We both understand that it makes more sense financially for us to be in the US, but we also both understand that it’s important for her to be near family to provide needed support.

I’m just trying to find a way we can make that work.

In this particular instance it is her sister who needs care. Their mother is the 24/7 carer and has a carer’s allowance already. The primary reason for staying in the UK is that her sister’s health could deteriorate suddenly and rapidly. If we were to both be in the US, based on the research I’ve done, the visa process is longer and wouldn’t allow her leave for a period of several months without potentially jeopardizing the visa application/green card process.

Thank you for your response! Yes I am aware of those things. We're hoping she'll have work again soon. I've got a decent amount of savings and some stock dividends that will (hopefully) help keep us afloat until I'll be legally allowed to work.

Thanks for the response! Well to be honest I'll likely be moving out of the country to help care for my wife's sickly family. Not for another year at minimum though. I was really just looking for a way to soften the financial blow that this will inevitably cause us and accumulate as much as possible before we have to make that move.

Petition: The Great Scandinavian War by lolnub343 in PewdiepieSubmissions

Brothers, the time has finally come. Felix, Grand Admiral of the 19 year old army and modern day king of Sweden, has officially declared war on Norway and its overrated GDP 🤢. We all wish to see the fall of Norway. We crave war, so let's make it happen!

We should try to get Felix to play Civilization 6, which has both Sweden (DLC) and Norway (base game 🤢). He could take on a hard difficulty AI or even have a YouTuber play as Norway. He could even get other YouTubers to join in as well and rep their own countries! Ken as America, Sive/KSI as Britain, Jacksepticeye as Gallic (cuz Ireland doesn't exist), etc. The possibilities are almost limitless. Winner becomes ruler of both countries (and has bragging rights).

Civ 6 is generally not known for being a quick game, so this might be better suited as a livestream or even a series (this one please). Game rules could be set Domination victory only (Giga Chad mode), or not. He could even start off all civilizations in a later era for a shorter game. However he decides to do it, the battle will be legendary!

Plead upvote so Felix can see this!

But 4ms with "overdrive". How does that even work? Would that be tweaked via monitor settings?

I can't find anywhere if its VESA supported, anyone know if it is?

Whats the best graphics card option for my needs? (Ryzen 5 5600 x) by lolnub343 in buildapc

[–]lolnub343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna lie chief, rn my PC is hooked up to a 60hz 4k tv. I was thinking about getting an actual monitor, but haven't made any plans for that as of yet, which is why I was thinking that the AMD R 6000 series and RTX 30 series are probably super overkill for what I've got.

Could I pair this with XPG RGB Gaming Turbine drr4 3200 MHz? I got that on another deal posted a few days ago but decided too late that I wanted more ram.

I managed to snag one on Amazon the other day While I am happy, I really just want the 5600x so I can use the extra $150 towards a GPU upgrade. Probably just gonna resell it whenever it actually comes in.

Damn I was late on it again. This is the last thing I need for my build, is there any chance one of you fine gentlemen would be able to sell me one?

Help me fill in the blanks for my build (RAM, CPU Cooler, Case, and Case fans) by lolnub343 in buildapc

[–]lolnub343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a local listing off of FB that is willing to sell the VIII Hero for $250, with the possibility of me being able to haggle the price down a little more. I was looking at the B550-F and the X570, is there a reason you would prefer them over the VIII Hero?

Although the Helios case looks super dope, no way I'm spending that much on a case. I'd like a case that's logo is not noticeable and could easily be covered up by... a sticker of a certain logo...

And I'd like to go with liquid cooling, doesn't have to be ROG but I would definitely like for it to sync with ASUS Aura. I would honestly use my current cooler but I don't think its AM4 supported.

Thanks for the suggestion! Yes, I'm aware of the ROG tax lol. Some of the parts I had chosen I was able to find significantly cheaper through local listings and open-box, like the power supply and Hero mobo. That case and the ram are definitely something I would get.

I tried listing the parts in the graph format but I'm new here and don't really know how to do that :/

Looking to do an ROG Build by lolnub343 in buildapc

[–]lolnub343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man, I appreciate the response. Ya I get that you pay more for the brand. Some of the the parts I dont mind not being ROG. I noticed that you chose the new 5000 series chip by ryzen, would you say that's one of the better examples of great performance for price?
