    On becoming an electrician

    I'm in the SF East Bay area. As I did more research today, I think I'm actually boned due to my circumstances (sick parents ruling out relocation). IBEW is the nearest to me. WECA is 1.5-2hrs north of me. ABC gets a lot of negative reviews but it's probably all I'm realistically seeing (and...

    On becoming an electrician

    Finally going through this thread. Has been a big motivator to me looking into changing careers over. I'm also just entering my 40s, but watching you do it at the same age is good to see. I also doubt my ability to start out at the local IBEW just based on #s of applicants so I'll probably...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Crystal Super OLED. It's okay, it's the only headset I've had long term experience with. The lenses definitely have some off central point chromatic aberration and you're still definitely looking though goggles. Really my complaint right now is just the amount of processing power needed to...

    Eh, for high res VR, you're really stuck with a 4090, 5080, or 5090. :/ My 4090 is not strong enough to keep my Pimax capped at 90fps without having to resort to somewhat aggressive upscaling.

    I'm 40, I'm completely fucked as I'm in accounting and finance. We're rushing headfirst into hallucinating financials at this point. It's going to destroy a lot of things before people learn this is best left to creative endeavors, not black and white data people rely on.

    And then after we've replaced all of the junior roles are replaced, and it starts replacing the middle experienced users and those that survive age out, who replaces you since we've successfully destroyed the training and experience pipeline?

    Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War

    The stupid meeting between Jack and Greer in the UK, where Jack goes "Holier than thou" and Greer gives his "I did what had to be done" response. Meanwhile, you find out later that Greer didn't actually do it, he just took the fall for it. So very stupid. Everything these days is written so...

    The Division 2

    Backfire tank build has so far been the most consistent performer for me. And then I try a full dps build and die like an idiot because I'm so used to not using cover and charging in to an easily surrounded position. Full retard brain after playing tank based builds. I do need to get a decent...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Plugging into an outlet won’t really solve anything for the home consumer thought. US household circuits only handle 1600w. Nobody is going to realistically split the home pc across two circuits in their homes.

    This sounds miserable to drive, having to be told when to lift and when to recharge the battery, constantly changing each lap.

    Young Sherlock

    I'm 7 episodes in. He has no love interest, the other main character is one hitting on women but never getting time to sleep with any of them. Sherlock did give some gay Frenchie a drink to distract him from hitting on him as he got away from the fag. It does have a bit of a Mary Sue...

    Formula 1 and MotoGP - Racing

    The cars are given a certain amount of "electrical energy" they can use in total each lap. The ICE does not provide enough power on its own to hit top speed in 8th gear. In order to use their "energy" allotment each lap, they have to "clip", or downshift while full throttle to recharge the...
