I fully understand the issues with the logistics. I get that the delivery people are often held to unreasonable standards and forced to insane expectations of quotas.
But, when there are 3 cars in the driveway, the lights are on in the house, and it’s the middle of the afternoon, it is absolutely the delivery person’s responsibility if they don’t even knock. They don’t even need to stick around more than 5 seconds, at least actually make the attempt.
I had switched over to Linux last year for the same concern of Win 10 reaching end of support. I wanted to switch over while I still had time to switch back (even if temporarily) of something went wrong.
I’d highly suggest start dual-booting or load Linux on an older system to get used to using it as a daily driver now rather than waiting until you don’t have the same choice.
I wish my delivery person used the doorbell or knocked. I’ve watched out the window as they walked up, put the “no one home” sticker on the door, and started walking away before I stepped out and told them I was there for the package.
WAIT! He isn’t dead, Shia-Surprise!
Typically, yes, since they are meant to be more “modular” in nature and let you sync up 4-5. But I’m not familiar with all the varieties of commercial cards out there and didn’t want to dismiss the possibility of a longer one existing.
But I don’t know if any consumer card that is so big only one or two cases fit it. Sure, some of them are so big that you need a fairly large case, but for example the ASUS 5090 Astral is one of the larger 5090s, and is 358mm long. The Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO RGB case can fit a GPU up to 455mm in length. The Lian Li Lancool 217 (a case on the medium to smaller side for full ATX) can fit up to 380mm in length. Tight, but not 1mm tight. The Fractal Design Meshify 2 (ATX case, not mini) can fit up to 445mm in length with the front fans in place.
Unless the comment poster is specifically looking for SFF cases, I don’t know what is causing the difficulty.
Although, clearance for GPU height is becoming more of an issue, so that might be what is referred to for the 1mm clearance. In that case, there are still options out there but it is much more difficult and some require vertical mounting.
Edit: changed OP to comment poster and added caveat
Honestly, this is 100% the solution for this problem, especially for sharing with a child.
Now, the issue of having a “license” and rights to play a game, vs actually owning the game is still a valid point of contention.
What card? Because there should be plenty of options with more clearance for even 4090 and 5090s. Unless it’s a special commercial card like the A series?
The microwave, because my roommates insist on having a model that beeps every 30 seconds after it finishes cooking so you don’t forget you had food in there. They still forget, though. It just gets on my nerves while I try to wash some dishes while waiting for the microwave to finish, or if I’m using it as part of prepping while cooking.
The reasoning I moved from Windows to Linux was this right here.
If I’m going to be fighting with Windows anyway, because of the registry giving me issues, then the drawback of “but Linux hard! You have to configure things!” was moot.
Perhaps the gravity head should be a snail then
For sure it’s likely either a learned helplessness or a passive indifference. People like to give up before they even try.
Until it is mentioned (often afterwards), how would one know the person is neurodivergent? Is it fine to correct someone making those mistakes who are neurotypical?
I think how the correction is made is the differing factor, because you can never have complete information about the people you reply to on a platform like this.
On the other side, there is definitely a time and place to correct people for simple mistakes, especially if you still understand what they mean. Replying to someone asking for help in a matter is probably not one of those times. Replying to someone pointing out other mistakes or lack of knowledge, I think, is a fine place to make corrections (respectfully).
Especially if no one is called out by name and insults aren’t being used.
You would be surprised how many people are unable to do that, who are physically capable of doing it.
“Don’t you know who I am?!”
“Yeah, the guy who was going to be my boss starting next week. Goodbye, don’t call back.”
I got divorced from a 10+ year relationship in my late 20s, and then had a nasty, bad breakup from my first relationship after at 30. I had a small group of friends that stuck around, but lost many in the process of each breakup.
I never really kept in touch with people from highschool and earlier, though, so I can’t comment on them
Things do get better. At 35 I’m now in a better relationship than I ever had before. I have new friends and new circles. A new chapter in my life was started, and things are better than they ever have been before.
I don’t know if this will work for you, maybe it doesn’t work out sometimes. But guys can, and do, recover from it.
It is how vets work. Just call a different vet and ask them if it sounds extreme. They might not have a definitive answer without having seen your cat in person, but will still know better than a bunch of randos on the internet!
Ventrilo would like a word as well
I absolutely hate this, but can’t deny that it’s accurate
Until you start selling a 1/3 lb burger to outcompete the 1/4 lb burger, but people are “4 is more than 3!” so your marketing fails…
