I am U.S. based and want to avoid the $15k fee.

Thailand caught my eye because it’s Western-standard medical care and about 10% of the cost (not including the travel expenses of course) but even if I knew which country was best, I still wouldn’t know who to talk to.

And maybe there is a better country/ method for this - open to suggestions.

Would prefer anesthesia but if you think the travel expenses makes it not worth it, I’ll just white knuckle it like I did during the initial vasectomy (and yes it sucked but saved serious cash).

Basically, what the heck do I do? (And yes, with this question I am trusting complete strangers with my lineage and man parts)

For the teens and underaged: 1) Vasectomy reversal eligibility isn’t the issue, I’m looking for suggestions and free education from wise and experienced individuals (not that teens can’t be both) 2) why are you even on this post in the first place

Edit: I’m getting a lot of messages from buyers. I thought “W” means “Want” and is intended to be used by buyers for people who WANT items. To clear things up, I am looking to BUY this stuff - I am not a seller.

My client capacity is starting to overflow and need to offload some work. Additionally, just need someone to tackle projects with and just build together with.

I have a BS in mechanical engineering technology, 10 years of professional experience under my belt, registered company, website, and 4 very active clients with interested ones messaging weekly.

I have 1 product so far in development.

Open to new ideas and workflow adjustments as needed.

Right now I have a few apps and sprouting seed/ Ai LLM software for a certain kind of agent.

Just need someone reliable really but innovation and drive is always a huge plus.

Connect if interested!

Would need 5 hours of commitment weekly right now but that’s changing fast (possibly 10-20 if these client meetings yield this week).

Been a rough patch recently. Feels like everyone has retreated when I hit this wall in my life. Probably just emotions bottling up honestly.

I used to do therapy - weekly counseling - but being unemployed now I can’t afford it anymore.

Made a series of mistakes, now I’m just stressing myself out. Like it’s not even the end of the world, but overthinking everything has me in a whirlwind of back and forth and uncertainty.

Just to be clear, I’m not looking to be rescued. I just want mutual room to speak openly and honestly with someone. A judgement free zone, but honesty even if the truth is hard to hear.

Stay strong y’all.

Hi,

Thank you in advance for any advice!!!

Being completely honest with myself/ pessimistic: I believe this is high end hardware that will not be found 2nd hand or significantly discounted.

The best deal I found was 4x 32GB DDR5 RDIMM ECC for $2800. I have a feeling this is a good deal, but I just can’t manage it right now. I really don’t know what the best “fishing ponds” are for the best RAM deals.

I’ve heard MicroCenter sometimes has bundle deals, but I am determined to have these specs and don’t know how flexible those bundle deals are.

First PC build. These are options I’m going with because Ai told me to (after like a week of arguing with ChatGPT on what I need for a 30B local LLM while also future proofing/ allowing high expandability for AFTER I’m no longer broke (motherboard = ASUS WRX90 Pro)).

To my shame, I have resorted to browsing AliExpress/AliBaba. Should I save myself the headache and avoid Chinese sourced DDR5?

Full disclosure: I am between jobs while also being sued by a software company for alleged piracy. So, I am relatively broke BUT… I will die on this hill of having a good PC if it takes all of my cash assets to build this puppy and pissing off my wife (do I get a gold star?).

Best regards

Edit: just looking for RAM.
