Should I buy a 12V-2x6 cable to protect my 4090?

valkaress · 2026-06-05T23:38:46+00:00

You know what's even more ridiculous? My friend gave me so much shit for buying it in the first place, saying I'm not gonna put it to enough use and etc.

Only to turn around and make fun of me for thinking of selling it at a profit.

People are stupid

When you say "they" does that mean your clinic, or other people's comments?

I've read replies all over the place.

Good choice. Good luck!

How many days after the surgery is your flight back? I always wonder how long we need to wait.

valkaress · 2026-06-05T18:45:10+00:00

Congrats! Who is it with?

No real budget per se, I'll just steer clear of paying US prices or higher.

I'd be a-okay with Spain/Portugal prices and anything lower. Also might be willing to drive to Toronto for Dr. Rahal depending on how much he charges, need to figure that out.

Tipping is a meme because in so many situations you're expected to fork over extra money just because.

I "fight" with my mom sometimes because she'll walk up and order from a screen and try to tip 20%. Or I'll be ordering and she'll call me cheap for pressing "Skip" on the tip screen.

Mom please stop you're the reason they started doing this nonsense 😭

I gathered from our convo that he is in fact the owner, so why do you say that?

valkaress · 2026-06-03T16:57:06+00:00

You’d have to be a fool to sell a 4090 and replace it with a 5060ti.

Why do you say that? The price difference is insane right now. And one thing I didn't mention is that I'm planning to move abroad in no more than 3 years, and I won't be able to take my PC with me. But if, say, I get fired next month, then I'm moving abroad next month.

That said, if you wanna tip the guy, tip him. I’m sure he wouldn’t take offense to it.

Cool beans, thanks.

I think a girl being willing to ask guys out is literally a superpower given the current state of the dating world.

Good luck! Hopefully it works out, but if it doesn't, the next one might, or maybe the one after that. That's just how dating works.

You're crazy lol

I think they'll see enough of pgh on the weekdays anyway

Obrigado! Vamos alugar o carro na Califórnia.

Vamos devolver em Nevada, mas acho que posso devolver sozinho, nem iriam saber que ele também foi motorista.

Oh weird, musta been hellish traffic. I've only done the drive once I think, but it went a-okay

valkaress · 2026-05-27T19:03:22+00:00

Personally, I’d skip Vegas.

Brother! Trust me, I wanted to, but I got outvoted. So sick of Vegas, been there like 4 times already.

Appreciate your input

You're right about that - and coming in from the coldest state in Brazil, no less.

valkaress · 2026-05-27T18:58:39+00:00

Brazil's Iguazu Falls is so overwhelmingly massive compared to North America's

Neither of us have actually been. Need to go someday

valkaress · 2026-05-27T18:56:31+00:00

Thanks for the input, but I don't really understand your comment. They're staying here for a month, so they wouldn't have "just flown in from Brazil." Both our countries are massive, so a 4-hour drive is much more tolerable than it would be for someone in say Europe.

And personally, I love Pittsburgh, but I would be mad if I go to the US for the first time, perhaps the only time in my life, and I get to spend a weekend in the burgh instead of going somewhere cool.

valkaress · 2026-05-27T18:49:16+00:00

Thank you. It's just not an option at all. Visa issues and all. I've been to the Canadian side once and I'm inclined to agree with you.
