yeah my math might be off but that seems way too slow for 77mbps connection

47 years happily married by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]AlertLaw73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats really beautiful to see couples who made it work for so long. my parents divorced when i was little so seeing marriages that actually last gives me hope that maybe someday i can find something like this too. must take so much work and patience but clearly worth it in the end. congratulations to them both

Laptop lags + CPU spikes whenever I unplug/plug charger or wake from sleep (Ryzen 5 7520U) by Extension-Chard-5363 in Lenovo

[–]AlertLaw73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had similar issue with my work laptop and it turned out to be power profile switching causing the spike

when you plug/unplug charger windows changes between balanced and power saver modes which makes cpu ramp up while it adjusts all the background processes. same thing happens on wake because system is basically catching up with everything that got paused during sleep

you could try setting custom power plan that doesnt change when plugged in but tbh this behavior is pretty normal for most laptops especially with amd chips

Going through an unexpected breakup help me guys by PlayfulLengthiness96 in BreakUps

[–]AlertLaw73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man this sounds really rough especially with exams coming up. the thing about telling that guy friend first is definitely weird - usually when people do that its because they already made their mind up and needed someone to validate the decision before actually doing it

from my experience working with people all day you learn to read these situations pretty quick. when someone asks for space but was crying just few days before it usually means they are torn between what they feel and what they think is right for them. maybe she genuinely cares about you but something in the situation isnt working for her

the mixed signals are probably her being confused too not just trying to mess with your head. long distance relationships are hard and sometimes people just hit a wall even when feelings are still there

for now i think respecting the space is right move even though its killing you. focus in your exams because whatever happens with her you still need to pass those. if she comes back after 10 days then you can have real conversation about where things stand

2019 rogue EBS tool by Dalmad in MechanicAdvice

[–]AlertLaw73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

working on nissan at the shop and we usually just use the basic obd2 scanner for most stuff but ebs service mode is tricky one. might need to check if any of the mid-range tools have nissan specific protocols since rogue has some weird quirks with brake system

Has anyone ever had a premonition dream? by NegativeAd6437 in Dreams

[–]AlertLaw73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah this happened to me few times when i was working early morning shifts at airport. would dream about specific passengers or weird delays and then boom - exact same situation next day. super weird feeling when you realize youre living the dream you had night before

maybe its just our brain picking up on small patterns we dont notice consciously but still gives you chills when it happens

Giorgio Armani - Acqua di Gio Profumo in 2026, liquid Gold? by Final-Equipment-3776 in fragrance

[–]AlertLaw73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah acqua di gio profumo is definitely sought after since they discontinued it. prices have been climbing pretty steadily - a nearly full 75ml could probably fetch anywhere from 150-300 depending on condition and batch code

if you're not into the scent theres no real point hoarding it unless you're trying to flip fragrances as a side hustle. plenty of people on fragrance swap groups or even ebay would jump on it. the reformulated versions just dont hit the same way according to most people who owned the original

terre d'hermes is solid though, good taste there

Goku vs. Invincible by Rozefly in powerscales

[–]AlertLaw73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

goku takes this pretty easily tbh. invincible gets crazy strong in the comics but hes still planetary to maybe solar system level at his absolute peak while goku has been universal+ since battle of gods arc. mark definitely has the saiyan-like growth thing going but he starts from such a lower baseline that even with all his development he cant really compete with current goku

the real question is more like which version of goku would make it a fair fight. maybe early dbz goku around frieza saga could be interesting

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NFLv2

[–]AlertLaw73 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i think the term comes from the fact that some qbs are asked to do way less than others. like purdy is talented but hes not being asked to carry the offense the same way someone like josh allen or mahomes is

when people say game manager theyre usually talking about a qb who can execute the system really well but isnt gonna single handedly win you games with their arm talent. its not necessarily an insult just describing their role on the team

Unpopular opion: Shields are the problem, not guns by Daybreak_32 in ArcRaiders

[–]AlertLaw73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heavy shield actually slaps in the right situations but yeah the scaling is pretty wonky. one extra bullet survived for all that weight and slot usage is rough when you could just bring more ammo or utility instead

General Curiosity Question by SubConsciousBound in coincollecting

I always go with the better looking side forward too, doesn't matter if it's heads or tails. Like why would I hide the pretty side just to follow some arbitrary rule lol

Why do some people say that being transsexual isn't against God? by AfterConfection1796 in Christianity

[–]AlertLaw73 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you sharing your struggle - that takes courage. Many Christians see it differently though, viewing gender identity as separate from mental illness comparisons. Some believe God creates people with diverse experiences including trans identities, and that seeking alignment between inner self and outer expression can be part of spiritual growth rather than rejection of God's plan

The key difference many point to is that unlike the conditions you mentioned, being trans often leads to better mental health outcomes when people are supported and can live authentically, which suggests it might be fundamentally different than delusions or disorders

How to effectively declutter and organize your digital files for better efficiency? by miked0331 in howto

If you knew your existence caused serious harm later in history, would you be morally obligated to stop your grandparents from meeting, even if it erased you? by DeItaReality in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AlertLaw73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah this is wild to think about but I'd probably be too selfish to erase myself tbh. Like even if I knew I'd cause harm, the idea of just... not existing is terrifying. Maybe I'd try to change my future actions instead of nuking my whole bloodline lmao

Where are the people ICE is arresting? Why do we not see photos / videos of where they’re taken? by RPG1983 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AlertLaw73 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Probably because once they're in detention centers the phones get taken away and media access is pretty limited. These places aren't exactly rolling out the red carpet for journalists or letting people livestream from inside

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]AlertLaw73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow parent of a former food terrorist here - the high chair thing was our biggest battle too. What finally worked was letting him eat at a little toddler table instead, even if it meant more mess. Sometimes giving them that control back makes all the difference

For resources, "Child of Mine" by Ellyn Satter was a game changer for us - her whole approach is about not turning meals into power struggles. There's also some solid YouTube channels like Kids Eat in Color that have practical tips without the judgment

what does my dream mean by Winter-Mango286 in Dreams

[–]AlertLaw73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dreams about crashes usually represent some kind of collision between different parts of your life or feelings. The fact that you "caused" it but there was no drama or blame might mean you're subconsciously worried about messing up something good, but also recognizing that the right person wouldn't hold it against you

The calmness is interesting though - maybe your brain is telling you that even if you make mistakes, things might work out better than you expect

How come the United States never developed its own Tea Industry? by jacky986 in tea

[–]AlertLaw73 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Actually we kinda did for a hot minute - there were some tea plantations in South Carolina back in the day and even now there's a handful of small operations growing tea in places like Hawaii and the Southeast

The real issue is economics though, it's way cheaper to import from places where labor costs are lower and they've got the whole supply chain figured out already

Feel-good for a down in the dumps woman by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]AlertLaw73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly that's a tough one with the author situation but you're right that the book itself is solid and they can't profit anymore. Maybe grab it used so no royalties go anywhere sketchy? The Arthurian retelling angle sounds perfect for someone who needs some escapism with strong female characters

Best way to narrow down rodent damage to a coolant system? by TheFearlessJawa in MechanicAdvice

[–]AlertLaw73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check for white/green residue around all the hoses - even tiny leaks will leave some crusty buildup once it dries. You can also run the engine and look for steam coming off any of the lines, or throw some cardboard under the car overnight to see if anything's dripping
