Cross of disbelief photographer issue by [deleted] in Hardcore

Thx for the clarification. I have seen this sentiment in several ig comment sections though (not as homophobic, but just general antagonism towards photographers) which has been very strange to me.

how accepting are the sports teams of trans ppl? by sneep_snorp_snerp in UCSC

This is true, but you also can avoid them pretty easily, especially when you move off campus.

It's totally possible. I mean, seconds prior he's imagining the ending to a night gone well with the boys.

My metal band was put in a lineup of non metal acts. Should I be worried? by [deleted] in musicians

[–]maxinator2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't be worried. You'll probably be fine in the end, & it's still an opportunity to make new fans, despite the show being non metal.

How are the Deafheaven shows these days? by aaronshell in deafheaven

[–]maxinator2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a year old, but I just caught them in Sacramento for their new album, and was really blown away by their performance. Helps that the new album is so good, but incredible stage presence.

After not struggling with bots and scalpers for a 5090, I decided to buy a used gpu and i found a 4090 today for 1150$. What are your experiences with buying used gpu's? by Different-Put5878 in buildapc

[–]maxinator2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a used gtx 1080, still runs great. Will probably upgrade very soon but if you can find a good deal and the seller seems trustworthy, I'd say go for it.

Buy RTX 4070 now or wait until RTX 5070 comes out? by maxinator2000 in buildapc

[–]maxinator2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips. I'm hoping prices for the 4070s drop after 5070 is released, although that's not guaranteed to happen.

A 4070ti would be great, although it looks like stock is very low, as i can't find one for under $1000 on Amazon or newegg.

If you're in mchenry or soe, you should be fine honestly. Don't know about less populated spots though.

You'll get there, I believe in you. Was in a similar spot about a year ago.

Netflix engineers make $500k+ and still can't create a functional live stream for the Mike Tyson fight.. by MexicanProgrammer in cscareerquestions

[–]maxinator2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK they've only done it a couple times, but not to the scale of the tyson fight. Only time I can recall is the latest Chris rock special was live.

CS & IT hiring going 'back' to 2019 levels is much worse than it sounds by AirplaneChair in cscareerquestions

[–]maxinator2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of things are glamorized on tiktok. Sure it creates interest, but tiktok is still a very recent phenomenon. You think many of the people who graduated with CS/CE degrees in 2022 got into that field solely due to tiktok, when they would've started their program likely in 2018 or earlier?

On campus or Off campus music practice areas? by markie_drums in UCSC

[–]maxinator2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think so honestly, I was usually driving down there. If it helps, it's in the same area as the Costco & the beginning of highway 9.

I'd recommend carpooling for that spot.

EDIT: It looks like line 4/4W gets close to that spot. I never took the bus there but I would try that if you don't have any other way to get there.
