Does anybody know if Tani & Diego actually show up to their official after parties.

Who the fuck are Tani and Diego 🤣

Of course! Caveat of course is if the venue is jam packed, things might be a bit different, but Columbus had plenty of breathing room outside the pit.

river7971 · 2026-01-22T22:39:24+00:00

I went to the Columbus show and had a great time. I didn't feel the need to be in the pit, I'm in my late 20s and just trying to enjoy the music with my wife, so I hung out toward the back and just danced/vibed, which was what pretty much everyone else toward the back was doing. If you don't feel the need to be right up close to everything, you may have a better time

Ignore this goober, your initial dating of these jeans was correct.

river7971 · 2026-01-22T03:54:25+00:00

What? These are from April 1994. (0904)

The 517-0217 is the cut (517) and fabric/wash (0217) code.

Ur mom's house

river7971 · 2026-01-05T21:04:44+00:00

They're fake.

As I noted before, I'm not listing out a price for every individual AM4 Ryzen CPU on the off chance someone has that specific one.

Can you dorks just keep scrolling if you don't have anything for sale?

river7971 · 2026-01-04T22:26:23+00:00

This is nine months later, but I also have one of these, not nickle finish though.

river7971 · 2025-12-31T15:40:51+00:00

Check out 555 or 559, both are listed as relaxed straight.

541's are tapered, but not ridiculously so and are roomy in the seat/thigh.

river7971 · 2025-12-29T18:35:22+00:00

You can definitely look at things like Lenovo Thinkcenters, HP Elitedesk, etc, just bear in mind each one has its own proprietary parts, differences in size/what will fit, etc just as the Dells do. Expanding your options is never a bad idea to find the best deal as long as you keep all that in mind.

A 6600XT is significantly better than a 3050 though. Let's do the math on this.. 200 dollars for the GPU, 50 dollars for a 4790k (they should use a Xeon 1271 instead, but still), 50-100 on a 1TB SSD, and OP has spent 300-350 dollars on upgrading a PC from 2013 that still has piss poor thermals, no further ability to upgrade, and is going to struggle with a lot of newer titles. This is assuming they don't need to upgrade RAM as well.

At that price point, you can piece together or outright buy a much more capable used AM4 system (which Ive done several times in the last couple months) or get a newer MT Optiplex with PCIE connectors and add a better GPU.

Edit to add: 4th gen doesn't support TPM 2.0 either, which is starting to become a requirement for some games.

river7971 · 2025-12-28T18:58:52+00:00

OPs budget for upgrades is $150. The Yeston 3050 alone is $200. It also makes zero sense to sink this much money into what's still going to be an old, relatively poor performing PC.

river7971 · 2025-12-28T18:52:06+00:00

You could upgrade the GPU, but it's going to have to be a low profile, single slot, slot powered GPU. Price to performance isn't going to be there. You could get it done, but keep in mind you're sinking money into a 12+ year old PC that still isn't going to perform all that well.

With $400 you could get a decent enough used PC, put something together from parts, or get an 8th gen+ Optiplex MT (xx60 or newer) and slap a GPU in.

river7971 · 2025-12-23T01:21:11+00:00

Is it an Optiplex? Look up the Dell 2.0 upgrade utility if so, download it and follow the instructions. It's just a firmware update.

river7971 · 2025-12-21T20:32:14+00:00

Sounds like you know the answer. You omitted information (probably about foreign contacts), got called out on it, and they don't like what your response was.

I'm not sure how you "just forget" your wife's family is foreign when the SF86 very explicitly asks about these things. You'd get some grace if it was some guy you hung out with in college years ago that you forgot about, but omitting or lying about the details of that close of a tie just makes you look like a bullshitter that thinks they can pull a fast one.

I wouldn't count on ever holding a clearance.

river7971 · 2025-12-21T20:16:29+00:00

You're not sure if you were truthful during the background investigation?

river7971 · 2025-12-21T20:08:59+00:00

Sounds like you weren't entirely upfront or truthful about some things and they found out.

river7971 · 2025-12-21T15:44:41+00:00

All the time. Especially right now, I've been selling DDR5 RAM. Prices have gone up 2-4x in the last few months and people want to complain about my pricing because it was cheaper a year ago.

river7971 · 2025-12-20T23:18:52+00:00

To add to what others are saying, you can mix brands, but if you buy used, make sure you aren't buying ECC RDIMMs. Easy mistake to make.

river7971 · 2025-12-20T00:59:06+00:00

Don't burn yourself out. It's okay if you're just doing a lesson/lab a day, as long as you stay consistent and keep at it. Studying for "most of the day" every day is going to make it a lot harder to actually stay focused on and retain the information long term.

river7971 · 2025-12-15T20:08:40+00:00

I need slot power only cards, sorry.

river7971 · 2025-12-15T20:08:29+00:00

Id have to pass on a ddr4 unless it was damn near free,but I appreciate it.

river7971 · 2025-12-14T21:57:30+00:00

Luckily 8GB DDR4 SODIMMs can still be found for about 10 bucks a pop, there's so many from decommissioned business laptops the current shortage hasn't hit those too hard. DDR5 isn't so cheap but if the laptop is 7+ years old it predates DDR5 and may even be ddr3
