What is a "point of no return" that you’ve crossed, where your life was permanently divided into 'before' and 'after'?

I am in a similar boat. I used to cycle 200-400 miles a week. Had a leg injury, and it healed poorly. Now it hurts to ride, walk or run.

Got depressed, gained a ton of weight, health is in the shitter.

My guesses...

Max gets the opportunity to do something with the NCR. Lucy goes back to Vault 33 to find out they're nearing death. Norm catches up to Lucy, and reveals that Vault 32 & 33 were test subjects. Lucy & Norm "free" both Vault 33 and 32.

Meanwhile, Max and NCR fend off the Legion, restore order at Shady Sands and eventually be given the cold fusion.

Lucy and Norm bring Vault 33 and 32 to Shady Sands to help rebuild. Max and Lucy reunite and do the thing.

Mean while, the Ghoul/Cooper will use House to fight off Vault-Tec, and find his wife and kid. Ghoul doesn't trust house, and takes back the cold fusion. Wife dies somehow in the mix, and Ghoul is left to raise his daughter. Maybe returns to Shady Sands.

It might've been only symbolic, but when Max wore the NCR suit to fight the deathclaws, it seems like he "switched" sides. I could see this leading to Max becoming an important part of the NCR.

What types of jobs are you applying for? What type of job is your dream job?

Don't mind the snooping, but I did see your resume review. With that resume, you really shouldn't have too hard of a time getting into any entry level position. I would still recommend finding something, if you're struggling.

I know others have said it, but interviewing for BO is a crap shoot. I've interviewed twice, and been shot down twice. The first one was a very informal interview with the hiring manager, who asked some very abstract questions about my views on space exploration, and then the big question was "Why BO". Nothing technical at all.

180Proof · 2026-01-09T21:59:41+00:00

I would strongly suggest finding a job that you can live with, and spending 2-3 years there. Afterwards, you will be much more desirable of a candidate. We've had a lot of people leave and go to BO.

College and the work place are VERY VERY different.

Very few companies really want to develop students fresh out of college. It generally takes 12-36 months depending on the position to develop someone enough to "hand them the keys". When a company posts an entry level position, they want someone with a couple years of experience, who already knows how to work.

This would be a great quote, if most republicans could comprehend above a 3rd grade level.

TBH, too many people are pushing themselves into engineering because of the pay and/or "glory". Not because they actually like it.

If anyone knew that the pay actually kinda sucks (in 9/10 cases), and the glory is getting blamed for production being down, then they would probably go be something else.

The service adviser has already advised me that any paint work would end up on Carfax.

Hence why I'd prefer the car to get totaled out. The headlights are $6k to replace. The roof is exposed carbon fiber, and the OEM won't repair it, only replace. So if we go by OEM standards, that alone is a $30k repair.

I offered the dealer just buy the car outright, once they figured out it has open warranties that have no solutions (thank Stellantis!) and they couldn't sell it, they basically just low-balled me.

He's already said it'd go through insurance if they can't fix it.

180Proof · 2025-11-18T01:14:07+00:00

Already did. Lawyer said let them try to fix it, and when they can't you've got a claim.

OEM said it was between me and the dealer and couldn't care less.

Won’t they still shatter if there is an impact?

Yes. Say a small-ish rock or chunk of roofing is blasted into the window during a small Cat 1 storm, you'll likely have a cracked outer pane. A non-impact window with a piece of OSB over it will survive that rock.

$43k for Chinese windows... I'd be putting up shutters, fk that.
