Glad to see this sub revived. Allegedly there are multiple of us out there, though I have yet to meet another IRL.

A bit about me: I have a PhD in engineering and work in semiconductor research. I take fitness seriously, which mostly takes the form of bouldering these days; I used to do archery too but more-or-less stopped after I graduated, which sucks because I can't make "aro-allo arrow ace" puns anymore. I'm a foodie who's also into cooking and gardening, which is a good combo if I do say so myself.

I'm gynosexual, so if we connect in that way, that's cool. But honestly I'm mostly just interested in meeting other aro people in central Texas. Not really into online-only connections, but

I'm looking to upgrade from my mishmash of grad school and hand-me-down furniture to actual, quality stuff, and want to make sure I'm going into this with a cohesive plan.

This would be for 4 rooms in a ~1700 sqft home. I'm mainly looking for a detailed design plan (layout + furniture direction), plus suggestions on light fixtures and maybe some light guidance on paint choices. I'm not looking to do major renovations, nor do I need full-service purchasing/installation; the goal is just to get a plan that I can gradually implement over time.

If you've worked with someone local on a similarly-scoped project, or are a designer yourself, I'd appreciate a recommendation or portfolio link. My pr

Just got a bottle of this stuff in the mail today. Listed ingredients are Pepper X mash, vinegar, and Carolina Reaper powder. It's a bit thinner than I expected, but it tastes great - fruity and almost chocolatey with a strong, clean heat.

Compared to Reaper Squeezins, which is also made by PuckerButt, I'd honestly say this seems hotter - maybe even pushing 3M Scoville? It definitely has less of a floral note than a reaper-based sauce, which might make it more versatile for cooking. Overall, this might be one of my new favorites.

Has anyone else tried this sauce? I'm curious to hear others' opinions.

Hey there folks,

I'm on the hunt for a new pair of indoor bouldering shoes, and I'm in need of some advice. My street shoe size is a US men's 12.5, and my current lineup consists of the Tenaya Ra in 12.5 and the Scarpa Vapor V in 11.5. They fit great in the toebox and midfoot, but I have problems with my heel slipping out on aggressive hooks. I'm pretty sure my narrow heel is the culprit, but I don't think low-volume shoes are the answer since the front of my foot is much wider. Plus, they're very difficult to find in my size.

So, I'm eyeing the evolv Shaman Lace in either a 12 or a 12.5. I've seen some good reviews online from folks with narrow heels, but opinions overall seem polarized.

I'm writing a custom DWM status bar script intended to integrate with the status2d patch. As part of the script, I need to know the height (in pixels) of the status bar. Of course, I could just hardcode this, but that feels unsatisfying and probably isn't very portable. Is there a way to retrieve this info programmatically?

EDIT: Scroll down for the original post. The issue turned out to be that my motherboard/CPU wasn't correctly supporting Intel IOMMU. The fix I found was to first connect the SSD to my PC using a USB to SATA adapter (which worked for some reason), install Void on the SSD that way, boot into my install, and then disable IOMMU entirely. As far as I can tell, this only affects GPU passthrough in virtual machines, which isn't something I care about.

In particular, add intel_iommu=off to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub (mine now looks like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=4 intel_iommu=off"), run sudo update-grub, and reboot.

If you don't have a USB to SATA adap

Hey y'all,

I've been shooting barebow for a while now using a set of cheap 40# medium limbs (68"). However, I have a 31.5" draw length, so I'm getting a ton of stacking - my measured draw weight is 55#. I'm now looking to upgrade to a set of nicer long limbs (70"). I think around 46# or 48# should put me at the same actual draw weight. I've heard good things about the W&W Winex limbs, but wanted to check if there was anything else that people recommend for barebow. My budget is $500. Thanks!

Earlier this year, I received my final disbursement from a trust, and received a K1 reporting substantial excess deductions on termination. Unfortunately, I didn't receive this form until after I had filed, meaning I now need to file an amendment.

My understanding is that excess deductions have historically been counted as capital losses, subject to the $3000 annual limit. Since the amount of the excess deductions is more than that, I would need to amortize this over multiple years. However, there are new IRS guidelines which seem to sugg

Hi all,

I'm looking to build a high-performance workstation PC for a variety of workloads, including deep learning, RTL synthesis and simulation, and SystemC simulation. This machine will not be used for gaming whatsoever - I've thrown in a GT 610 just so I can pull up a terminal. All parts will be purchased in the US, and I'd like to keep the total cost under $2k, so I'm primarily buying used parts off of eBay.

At this point, I've narrowed things down to a semi-final list (no PCPP since it doesn't have several of these parts):

• Motherboard: Supermicro X9DRD-EF
• CPUs: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2
• CPU Coolers: 2x Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
• Display GPU: NVIDIA GT 610

This is at least the third time this week. Alarms have been going off for about 15 minutes, and I've seen multiple firetrucks with lights on (but no sirens). Does anyone have a clue what's going on? The first time, I thought it might have been a gas leak due to the nearby demolition work, but three in such rapid succession seems unlikely.
