    echy reacted to Orbital_Aurora in Guitar annoying white noise sound; how to fix?   
    Make sure that your 2i2 has the setting "inst" or "Hi-Z" button on.

    Electrical interference are usually not causing white noise, it may be due to the guitar mics, if you can i would try to use another guitar just to test if it is due to that.

    Guitars do not have Symetrical Outputs, TS Cable will work perfectly well, If you have some spare cash, a good shielded cable is a good investment.

    echy reacted to 8tg in hello, what are your House bills? I never owned a home   
    Basically this
    Why is my mortgage relative low? I live in beach Indiana:


    Houses are cheap here. I’m in the middle balance of not suburban, not rural/small town, but not in the city.
    The mortgage on my house is a result of putting a decent chunk down, having good credit, and having the income to do higher monthly payments for a shorter term mortgage.

    Monthly, strictly related to the house
    Mortgage: $1450
    Electricity and Gas: $140
    Internet: $70
    Sewage and Trash: $60
    Assorted forms of insurance: $200
    Water is free here up to a certain point, (though lawn watering is also prohibited)
    Just under $2000/month on the home alone, with a $1450 a month mortgage. This is for a two story 3 bedroom 3 bathroom house in Indiana with a two car garage for context.
     
    Not house related
    Phone: $30
    Car insurance: $250 for both cars 
    Assorted subscriptions: $20
     
    All in, around $2400 a month is spent on non consumables. My fuel cost monthly is like $50, miscellaneous maintenance and such is variable, groceries are on average $300 a month for me, but I lump in a lot of things as “comes from the grocery store” like shampoo.
     
    A lot of this really depends on where you’re looking to live, and what your expenses are going to be, and what those expenses cost in that area. I live in a place with free water, that’s an extremely rare thing, not like a water bill is super expensive anyway but it’s an outlier to the norm. I also don’t have TV or any streaming services, my $20 a month in subscriptions is for SecondLife.
    My phone is $30 a month because its an annual mint mobile plan so it’s not really monthly, it’s $360 all at once.
    My electricity costs go down in winter because I got used to sleeping in freezing weather so I don’t run the heat in winter.

    In nyc, it is 2.2k per month renting a room with roomate and 5k mortgage if you own a single family home assuming you put like 10% down payment. 
     
    Both also require utilities bills. Latter also comes with annual property taxes and whatever maintenance costs

    This is going to vary wildly based on where you're located.
     
    That said, I think I pay ~$60/mo for trash, recycling, sewer and water. Then ~$125-200/mo for electricity and natural gas. Internet is another $75/mo. In general homeowners insurance is about $100-150/100k of home value per month.

    Pretty well any decent size city will have a subreddit where people talk about this stuff. Where I live in Calgary, with a 1200sqft house on a big lot worth around 450k, we pay about 2200/mo for the mortgage, ~200 for gas and power, around the same for water and waste. Insurance is together with the car so I don’t know what it would run separately offhand but it’s not too much. Internet’s about 130/mo

    In the US homeowners insurance + taxes (usually) are lumped into your mortgage payment and come out of an escrow account once a year. Each year the mortgage company will review the escrow account to make sure you'll have enough funds and you could get a small refund if it will be projected to be too much or you can pay the difference up front or have it rolled into your monthly payments.
     
    Rough ballparks since it depends on what you want and are willing to spend per month
    Internet: $50 to $100+
    Streaming services and/or TV: $10 to $$$$
    Cellphone: $25 to $100+/month; Depends on your plan/contract/etc
     
    Utilities: Still vary but estimates for me are here
    Electricity: Will vary by usage (usually) and where you live the rates can vary per kW/h so hard to say. For me I pay about $150/month
    Water/Sewage/Trash: Vary a good bit too as others have said. For me it's about $50/month for all of it
    Gas can depend on your location, further south the less common it can become for heating but can still be used for cooking so prices vary a ton. I don't have any gas service.
     
    Other:
    Maintenance, no matter if you by a home, townhome, etc you would be wise to set aside some money for repairs and upkeep if at all possible.
    HOA dues: If you move into a HOA community (evil), especially condos and townhomes, be prepared to pay for that too. Could be anywhere from $100/year to $250+/month easily.
     
     
    For me it breaks down roughly as such to about $2500/month:
    Mortgage: $1800
    Internet: $110
    Streaming: $80
    Cellphone: $80
    Electricity: $150
    Water/Sewage/Trash: $50
    HOA: $220

    echy reacted to atxcyclist in how much do you approximatly spend a year on gas?   
    My motorcycle gets about 60 mpg, I commute about 20 miles a day, five days a week, and regular gas is roughly $2.25 per gallon on average here.
     
    (20/60) x 5 x 52 x $2.25 = $195
     
    Rough calculation, it's probably closer to $300 with trips and the occasions I have to drive my car.

    it averages anywhere between $0.90 and $1.40 per liter in Alberta, Canada, so lets go with a median of about $1.15/L, and I have a 50 liter tank that I refill once a week.
     
    $1.15x50=$57.50, 52 weeks in a year = $2990 per year on average.

    echy reacted to Anomnomnomaly in how much do you approximatly spend a year on gas?   
    I currently drive a diesel as it gives better avg mpg's, current price is around £1.25 p/lt and I typically fill the car once a month and average around 500 miles a month.
     
    But it does depend on what type of driving I do... in a month with lots of longer trips at motorway speeds I'll average 50+mpg whilst around town I'm getting 41mpg on average. So to simplify things let's call it 45mpg on average.
     
    So £1.25 p/lt x4.5 = £5.62 per UK gallon
     
    My car has a 60lt tank and the low fuel warning comes on with about 10lts left in the tank. So I'm filling up an average of 50lts a month (just over 11 gallons) over 12 months is 600lts @ £1.25lt is around the £750 mark.
     
    Now I actually keep quite detailed spreadsheets of my income/expenditure and in 2019 I spent just £612.28... I don;t know exactly how many miles that covered because I've driven 4 cars that year... I sold my old one in April, the replacement was smashed up by a drunk driver in August and I drove a hire car for about 8 weeks... and then my new replacement since Oct.
     
    So I can assume that I'd have spent a extra couple of full tanks last year.

    Talking about the PCIe power cable plugged in to the graphics card. Looks like some sort of adapter you're using. Should plug the PSU directly in to the graphics card, no adapters/extensions in between.
     
    You got lungs haven't you? Huff and puff and blow that dust out.
     
    But it looks like the motherboard 24pin isn't fully inserted. Try reseating the cable and make sure it's plugged in fully.

    It's not all the way in. I can see the gap between the connector on the motherboard and the top of the cable connector.

    It's the side with the detachable 4pin bit, so it's possible that the 20pin section is fully plugged in while the 4pin extra bit is not fully plugged in. There's a little bump that locks the 20+4 sections together. If you still have trouble with it, might help to put the 4pin section in first and then plug in the larger 20pin section.
    It should be plugged in fully, flush up against the connector on the motherboard. Yours is sticking up about 3-5mm from the motherboard connector. Might not be making proper contact and could potentially be the cause of your random reboots.

    You're absolutely supposed to be able to remove heads from Manfrotto Tripods. What I suspect is giving you a hard time is the unscrewing of the BASE of the head after you've removed the 3 pin/bolts. This would probably be because either a) it's seized on there real tight, or b) it's rotating above the BASE as a tripod head should. You can check out the video below to see how this guy removes his fluid head from a tripod, keeping in mind it might not be the exact same model.
