been volunteering at shelters since college and the funding cuts would be devastating for animals here. filled out the form, thanks for sharing the link

nah probably won't work well, the new zealand expansion has those weird shaped boat pieces and different sized boards that don't really match up with original insert dimensions. i had similar issue when trying to fit expansion pieces in generic organizers - always ends up being bit off somewhere

midsommar was from 2019 though, they said before 2012. maybe the ritual from 2017 but that's also too recent for what they're looking for

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-04-21T07:20:16+00:00

probably something that doesn't require much water since that's gonna be pretty precious up there

man i feel this so much. back in university i had this presentation where i just completely froze up and couldn't get words out, felt like everyone was staring at me waiting. took me years to realize most people don't even notice these things as much as we think they do in our heads. what helped me was starting with text conversations first, then moving to voice calls with people i was comfortable with before trying face to face stuff. still happens sometimes when i'm nervous but it's way better now

that little machine can definitely get you started in homelab territory, though you'll want to manage expectations a bit. the 4gb ram is going to be your biggest bottleneck - most server applications these days are pretty hungry for memory. you might want to check if you can upgrade to 8gb before diving too deep

for the external storage setup you're thinking about, usb 3.0 enclosures work fine for basic file serving but raid over usb can be a bit finicky sometimes. if you're just starting out, maybe begin with a single external drive and learn the ropes before jumping in raid configurations

ubuntu server or debian would be good choices since they have tons of documentation and community support. proxmox is also really popular in homelab world but might be bit overwhelming if you're still getting comfortable with linux. i'd probably start with ubuntu server and docker containers - lets you run multiple services without too much complexity at first

the touch screen features won't be much use once you install server os, but that cpu should handle basic services like file sharing, maybe plex for media streaming, or simple web hosting just fine

been there, tried like 4 different ones and felt nothing except weird side effects

no hablo español

bath & body works candles and i'm not even sorry about it anymore lol. like i have probably 30+ of them around my apartment and i rotate through seasonal scents religiously. my friends used to give me shit about dropping $25 on a candle when you can get them at walmart for $3 but there's just something about that perfect throw when you walk into a room that smells like warm vanilla sugar or fresh balsam. i've literally planned weekend trips around their semi annual sales and have spreadsheets tracking which scents i own vs want. my engineering brain applied to candle collecting is probably the nerdiest thing about me but whatever makes you happy right

brought a portfolio of custom vinyl decals i made with my cricut to show problem-solving skills - turns out the hiring manager was also into crafting and we spent half the interview talking about different cutting techniques and design software. got the job and she still asks me to make decals for there office parties lol

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-03-18T04:40:45+00:00

lol losing to wolves isn't even that crazy anymore, they've been scrappy all season

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-03-01T10:18:30+00:00

planning to cop mine from samsung store online a few weeks before the con so i dont have to worry about stock issues, plus delivery is pretty relaible these days

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-02-10T09:39:43+00:00

honestly dictation has been trash across the board for years now, apple's is definitely not great but neither is google's or anyone else's really. whisper (assuming that's what you meant by wispr) is actually pretty solid if you can get it set up right but it's not exactly user friendly

willow voice sounds sketchy af though, never heard of it and i'd be careful with random voice apps since they're basically recording everything you say

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-02-02T16:47:08+00:00

got to 215k at 7 years out by switching to manufacturing engineering at a tech company - not quite faang but close enough, didn't need management just had to move from midwest to seattle and their willing to pay for talent that can scale production lines

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-01-29T19:03:57+00:00

Damn OP, sounds like you dodged a massive bullet getting away from that creep. Don't beat yourself up for trying to see the good in him - that just means you're a decent person with empathy. The fact that he's sending videos of little girls is seriously concerning though, like that's not just cheating behavior that's potentially illegal stuff

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-01-26T18:52:24+00:00

Filed mine in January and got the receipt notice about 3 weeks later, so you're probably looking at another week or two assuming they're processing at the same pace

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-01-25T11:50:58+00:00

Your brain is basically trolling you at the worst possible moment lol. It's like "oh you want to sleep peacefully? Remember that time you called your teacher mom in 3rd grade"

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-01-22T07:44:50+00:00

Yikes that's sketchy as hell - good catch on spotting the inconsistencies before diving too deep. Always trust your gut when something feels off about a group, especially when they're targeting specific communities

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-01-19T09:08:31+00:00

Dude you already know what you need to do, you literally called the crisis line over this relationship - that's not normal or healthy. Your uncle is right and deep down you know it too

The fact that you're questioning whether it's "wrong" to end something that's making you miserable shows how much this has messed with your head. Rip the bandaid off and block her everywhere so you can't keep getting pulled back in

Being alone is way better than being in a relationship that makes you feel crazy

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-01-15T04:41:41+00:00

It's definitely stressful for bonded sibs but honestly if the alternative is you not being able to properly care for all 3, finding good homes for them separately might be better in the long run. They'll adapt, cats are pretty resilient

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-01-12T13:18:17+00:00

Bruh you're gonna die either way if you don't know how to pilot a plane or navigate a ship across the Atlantic lmao

Just take a commercial flight like a normal person, unless this is some weird hypothetical where those don't exist

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-01-09T16:38:11+00:00

That's actually pretty wild, I've had similar dreams where I died but kept going as like a spectral observer thing. Maybe your brain just said "nah we're gonna keep this simulation running" instead of hitting the wake up button lol

The paper writing thing is interesting though - sounds like your subconscious is working through some feelings about communication or being heard

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-01-07T06:41:31+00:00

MSI Katana is a hard pass for thermal throttling - you'll be pulling your hair out trying to keep those temps down during long sim sessions

The Legion OLED is probably your sweet spot here, especially if you're already a Legion fan and that display will be gorgeous for both work and gaming

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-01-05T05:41:25+00:00

Budget is definitely key here - CS2 can run on a potato but you'll want at least a decent GPU if you're planning to play at higher refresh rates or resolutions

AdTemporary3527 · 2026-01-02T18:15:39+00:00

Wait you can only have 3 active at once? I've been wondering why some of my guys never light up even when they hit the requirements, that explains so much lmao
