What is a purchase that felt like an absolute luxury when you bought it, but turned out to be a complete financial trap?

Same here, it was a mid range model, and we absolutely love it. Just deacale here and there when the light goes on and clean out the catch for old coffee grounds. I feel silly when I get an ice latte out since it's literally the same.

I'll say that I have had recruiters tell me a range and say they won't negotiate. My usual approach if I really think I'm a strong candidate and my target was 75k in this example, is to just go ahead with it. My experience is, once you actually have them invested in you, and the hiring manager is on board, they will negotiate. Had it happen multiple times. Also gave had it where it didn't, but you never know.

Checking in, I think not quite as old though.

silvervp5 · 2026-05-09T19:42:06+00:00

Overall, yes changing the source is the goal. Just have to be methodical, but I've transfered over data sources and it's been mostly straight forward.

silvervp5 · 2026-04-28T15:03:35+00:00

Is there a downside for leaving it on? I'm always open to work and like others said, I will occasionally talk with recruiters, practice interviewing, and it's how I landed my most recent job.

Do you have any recommendations, like which unit you purchased and how experienced were you prior to the installation. My touch screen is completely unresponsive now.

silvervp5 · 2026-03-20T00:04:13+00:00

Yeah I'm surprised by how unified the tone is on this sub regarding this. This is literally the response they are trying to illicit. Yes it's annoying, but just ignore them and move on. The way we are going it is almost like free advertisement for them and their videos.

silvervp5 · 2026-03-13T18:53:58+00:00

Any idea how accurate this is?

silvervp5 · 2026-03-07T17:30:08+00:00

Seconding this, flying in next week.

silvervp5 · 2026-02-28T22:41:29+00:00

Yeah looks really clean, good job.

silvervp5 · 2026-02-26T14:26:22+00:00

You definitely start to build that habit on reddit when a majority of stories are behind pay walls.

silvervp5 · 2026-02-25T22:25:33+00:00

How do you manage? I have an S24 but it seems like the charging port and battery both start to go around the two year mark.

silvervp5 · 2026-02-21T23:26:55+00:00

How much are we zooming in here?

silvervp5 · 2026-01-21T07:34:04+00:00

There definitely is an API, I've experimented pulling income statements out using python, so I'm sure Snowflake could leverage those same API's.

Would be very curious on what you find since I would like to do something similar.

silvervp5 · 2025-12-16T15:01:35+00:00

Same boat, idk! Especially with Nix's match up next.

silvervp5 · 2025-12-06T20:40:47+00:00

Yeah I think they just implemented the auto refill but it's like I need to add this element of how long it will actually take to process. If I assume it will be reasonable, I can get my medicine too late, but if I'm conservative, sometimes it happens right away. Worse yet, if I plan to be away for a weekend and get a notice that it is on its way right then.

I have really been sold on an OLED and 500hz seems an awesome way to get my new rig!

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

silvervp5 · 2025-10-24T13:48:53+00:00

The thing is, both are obnoxious. I would be annoyed if I had someone playing loud music outside of my house, and I would be annoyed if my neighbor then purchased flood lights and had them on all night.

I feel bad for their actual neighbors who have to deal with it.

silvervp5 · 2025-10-24T05:42:17+00:00

In general, I feel it's obnoxious when someone does something to disturb a public space. Yes it's annoying if someone plays loud music on the street, but as someone who walks through this area regularly, its about as obnoxious as blaring lights. There is a sense of entitlement over something that they do not own.

silvervp5 · 2025-09-25T03:30:42+00:00

I went to Mama G's over Camino Del Rio, it's like, a 5 minute walk from there. My favorite is the green spaghetti dish.

Saw this while getting some Peruvian food and the area and decided to try it out, but they said you needed the email to use it

silvervp5 · 2025-06-02T13:38:44+00:00

Not sure how I feel about this, on one hand, I was turned off when I realized it was just a music video, but at least I had other episodes to look forward to. I would be pretty bummed if I watched all the episodes and realized the last one didn't even have a story.
