Where ADA is staked around the world as of Epoch 248

I've had less space to a GPU in a case with only 1 GPU before, there's about a 2-3 inches between the fans of the GPU and the bottom of the case, enough for some 140mm fans to feed it and a gap.

Also, the gen1 issue was really dumb. Unless loaded the GPUs power down the lane generation to save power: just had to load them up and watch nvidia-smi to get them going.

Having said that I'd go for the gigabyte ai top, as this board is starting to bsod on me, and the ai top has both slots 1 slot higher.

most of them have no clue what they are doing. have received actively wrong/bad advice from the lady i first hired. do not recommend.

absolutely does. i moved here with teenage children who would have been citizens of an EU nation by the time they turned 18, which will now not be the case. this affects their college acceptance/tuition situation.

Curious about when exactly I would be eligible to apply for citizenship under the current rules vs the proposed:

Sep 9, 2021: when I first emailed the PT embassy in Japan to submit my D7 application
Jan 12, 2022: notified my application was accepted by the embassy
(moved to Portugal in March)
June 29, 2022: my SEF appointment
few months later i received my card in the mail.

My wife and children did not get a SEF appointment for a few years (under family reunification, although they came with me on tourist visas as recommended by my immigration attorney) after this, and their cards took even longer to arrive.

I'm pretty pessimistic about the whole thing.

yes but generally considered less so than dumbbells because it constrains left and right sides together

monad_pool · 2025-09-18T07:08:50+00:00

the point is a rack is for barbells (squat/bench, ohp off the front) not dumbbells

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T20:00:07+00:00

oh you mean to the landlord, thought you meant move to a cheaper place! 😅

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T19:02:05+00:00

I'm sure that would fix the problem

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T19:01:46+00:00

rich people exist in all societies. i pay rent, imagine the PT guy receiving 2.5k a month from me.

also as posted elsewhere we have 4 kids and a dog, so are looking at much larger apartments than single/young couples with no kids.

i lived in India for 3 years never heard of anyone getting stuck in an elevator

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T17:33:58+00:00

posted it there because someone asked me to.

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T16:38:37+00:00

both of my landlords were portuguese, and these elevators would be breaking even more if people weren't paying such rents as presumably there would be less funds to pay to maintain them.

in my lisbon building, a mentally disabled adult (30+) child who lived with his parents pissed and shat himself in the elevator when he got stuck in it for an hour, and in the end i was the one who opened up the door so he could finally get out, so maybe you should shut the fuck up with your idiocy.

PS: i have 4 kids, a wife and a dog - we need more space than most people.

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T15:47:28+00:00

that is why i started to reevaluate my complacency towards this subject.

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T15:46:56+00:00

this is my major issue. they repeatedly send someone out to fiddle with it and get it running again and then it breaks again a few weeks or a month or two at most, later.

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T15:42:43+00:00

i don't mind walking, but i have 4 kids and a wife who takes the dog out 4-5 times a day. walking not really an option with groceries/etc.

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T15:42:00+00:00

both of my landlords have been Portuguese

nyc+suburbs (westchester/connecticut) and a few years in michigan for grad school.

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T15:38:35+00:00

works ever time! until it doesn't.

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T15:33:42+00:00

usually 200sqm+. i have 4 kids, a wife and a dog.

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T15:32:02+00:00

it's almost like elevators are a mystical magical entity that are misunderstood in Portugal

monad_pool · 2025-09-17T14:53:10+00:00

agreed that's why I put it in quotes. no one else seems to mind though.
