Hello guys,

Location: California

I’ve been apartment hunting lately, I went pretty far with one. I submitted my application, everything’s approved. We go back and forth for a few weeks because I weighed options.

So I ultimately decide this one is the best. I asked them to inspect the specific unit before lease signing. A few days before I was supposed to sign the lease, the manager tells me I need to pay a “security deposit” because other applicants were sending in applications and they needed that deposit to take the house out of market and reserve it for me.

I inspect the unit and find out I don’t love it. I tell them I’m not longer going to lease (I never signed the actual lease), and they tell me the “security deposit” is nonrefundable???

What do I even do this is so absurd.

Hello guys,

I have Ambassador status with Marriott because I travel a lot. So I got an offer for the Amex Marriott Brilliant Card through the Marriott App, and it’s offering me 150k points + 250 cashback on a 6000 spend within 6 months, which is quite attractive.

Problem is, my credit profile is quite thin, my first card was only last December, and got two Amex cards in I believe this February.

So now when I apply for this card Amex doesn’t like it because it’s telling me it has a cap on how many cards it likes to give in within a time frame.

Is there a way to circumvent that? Would calling or something help?

Thank you

Hello guys,

I am planning on building a new pc over the summer in Asia.

The budget is 7.3k USD HARDCAP including peripherals (monitor, speaker included) and maybe even a nice office chair.

I would like some insight and some parts recommendations.

Right now I’m thinking a 9800x3d, the MSI Suprim 5090, and looking for recs for other parts.

For Motherboard ideally I would like MSI, no ASrock or ASUS please. I’m stuck in choosing between a x series or b series. I know b series is enough but it feels sort of unsatisfying. For fans I’m planning on going for all lían li sl inf wireless fans.

So far I’m left with ~3k after the above parts I mentioned. Would love some input from yall for mobo selection and all the peripherals.
For monitor I really want a 4k oled or a 2k oled at the very least

Thank you

Hello guys,

I’m currently running a klipsch one plus speaker for my iPad, I connect via usb c.

I’m not an enthusiast by any means, I just enjoy some good music. I was wondering if I needed a dac or external device of some sort to get lossless audio. Or if any other components could give a better experience, like a subwoofer or something.

If I do could I please get some recs. Portability is important because I run around a lot.

Thank you

Hello,

I thought I had autopay set up, but I didn’t, and I ended up paying my card like four days later.

I didn’t even get a notification or anything telling me to pay it. Will it tank my credit score? My history’s rather short and I’m really trying to grow my score because I started building credit sort of late.

Thank you

Hello,

I’m planning on buying a new car in the near future. I believe I would be able to pay my car of choice in full, but I have a rather short credit history, would it be worth it to finance the car and eat up interest to build credit?

Thank you

Hello guys,

For some time in my youth I was really into nicer clothes. And to be fair some of them were noticeably higher quality and ran a better fit.

But now I’m older I just can’t bring myself to justify a 400 dollar t shirt or some crazy 4 figures for a piece anymore.

So I wanted some suggestions on high quality clothing brands for both formal and casual clothes. Namely brands that use natural materials like linen, cotton, or kinds of wool, because I find natural materials don’t tend to grow an unpleasant moldy smell after some time.

Thank you.

Edit: thank you all for all your input. But I’m looking specifically for insight on WHERE can I buy the type of clothes I described.

Hello guys,

Happy weekend yall.

For a long time in my teens I did not really care about personal appearance and overall cleanliness.

But now that I do care, I realized there are some small things I dont really know how to do.

So in the mornings I brush my teeth and use sunscreen and moisturizer and all that. Usually when I do that I have a t shirt on. And occasionally there would be a smudge of like toothpaste or sunscreen, just a small spot of it but it really ruins everything. And it’s usually somewhere obscure so I don’t realize it til like half way through the day.

Or sometimes I’m just doing some cleaning like laundry or washing dishes and there’d be a splash and it leaves a stain or a smell.

How do you guys go about this, should I just not wear a t shirt while in my own home or should I have a set designated for when I’m chilling at home.

Thank you

Good evening yall

Hope yall are having a GOOD day.

I’m looking for a case which will support an eatx board, specifically the crosshair extreme x870e. I really regret buying it.

I have this board already it’s resting inside of a g701 a purchase I very much regret, even more so than the motherboard.

So I wanted to get another case with a cleaner less monstrous look.

One which support this motherboard, preferably smaller than the g701, gives plenty of room for cables and preferably a dual chamber one. Also it would be good if it could accommodate lots of fans because I like to have lots of fans…but that’s the least of priorities.

I was looking at havn 420 vgpu, but I read the cables are tight with eatx, I also looked at lian li evo xl…but that wasn’t great either.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I currently have 3 credit cards, one with BofA, one chase and one Amex.

I’m looking to shave down to just Amex, I tend to overspend with multiple credit cards, how do I go about doing that? To transfer my other credit card debts all onto my Amex credit card.

Thank you

Are you supposed to just stick to one bank and use the credit card of the bank where you have all your money?

Hello guys,

Recently I started a new build, it worked wonderfully at first but after swapping some parts, the occt stress tests started crashing.

Originally I had

9600x

Asus Strix b850-g

Ddr5 32g g skill royal Neo

Astral 5080

Peerless Assassin

Lian Li 850w plat sfx

1 120mm Lian li exhaust in top right

2 120mm Lian li fans replacing stock in Peerless Assassin

EXPO on and igpu off.

Any stress tests worked wonderfully in this setup. But after I swapped some parts out it began crashing occasionally, to now crashing the combined test completely

I changed

Peerless assassin—->Tryx turris 620

Replaced mobo contact frame w/ thermal right am5 contact frame

Replaced top right lian li fans with 1 noctua 140mm

Added rear noctua 120mm intake.

Undercoated gpu in MSI afterburner.

It’s a jonsbo d32 pro case

In this setup every INDIVIDUAL TEST in occt works. But COMBINED TEST always crashes.

Any insight?

Thank you

Hey guys,

I recently got done with a d32 pro build. I stress tested it for an hour with occt, at first temperatures were great, cpu started at 50 and gpu at around 35, slowly though temps creeped up eventually to a steady 78-82 on cpu and 50 on gpu.

While I know those are well within the safe range, I would like to see how I can lower them, especially since my config isn’t maxed out on fans yet, and I like to play around with builds.

Currently I have a 9600x and an astral 5080. Cooler is a peerless assassin with stock fans replaced by lían li 120s, as well as a lían li 120 top exhaust. Aios are not an option, I’ll be moving this build around occasionally and I don’t trust aios enough for that. I’m looking to add 3 120 slim bottom intakes as well as a 120 side intake. For the top I’m thinking about 1 140 exhaust, but also 1 140 intake right on top of the air cooler, any value in that? I’ll use noctua fans

Thank you.
