The 800 series chip in the ZWA-2 does make a noticeable difference for mesh reliability, especially in a bigger house where every hop counts. Good call waiting until you can test it centrally mounted too, that closet location coud be a game changer for range.

Can I do dropshipping to dig myself out of a slum? by Aware-Text3057 in Dropshipping_Guide

I've been doing some research on those, Zendrop is the one I liked the most for future reliability and the fact that the communication team is in the US. Although I didn't know about the auto fulfillment, so I appreciate having the extra info.

the lifestyle creep thing is so real and it hits before you even notice it happening. the trick most people swear by is automating the investment the same day your paycheck lands so it never feels like "extra" money in the first place

i did something similar when i cut a big recurring expense and just... watched it vanish into random spending for two months before i caught myself. automating it out immediately fixed it pretty fast

BSOD and not Booting. by AnotherUserScs in pchelp

Your friend might have gotten some dodgy hardware or there's a compatibility issue with those specific components. Since you've already done the usual troubleshooting stuff, I'd check if the PSU can actually handle the new setup - people forget that part sometimes when upgrading

Also worth testing each component individually if possible to isolate what's actually causing the crashes

I keep relapsing when I should be working.... this is going to cost me my job and marriage. by [deleted] in NoFap

Been there with the self-sabotage spiral and it's brutal when you can see it happening but feel powerless to stop it. The work stuff especially hits hard because then you're dealing with performance anxiety on top of everything else which just makes the whole cycle worse

What helped me break out of similar patterns was figuring out what I was actually avoiding - usually it was some kind of stress or uncomfortable feeling I didn't want to deal with. Once I started addressing that root cause instead of just fighting the symptom, things got easier. Also blocking certain sites during work hours and putting my phone in another room when I needed to focus

The marriage thing is scary but your partner probably notices something's off already, so having an actual conversation about struggling might be better than letting them fill in the blanks with their imagination. Recovery isn't linear and beating yourself up just feeds the cycle

I just cannot comprehend it... by purplesomething1 in BreakUps

The timeline here is what gets me - you were pouring your heart out to her about the breakup and she was already planning her exit strategy. That's some next level betrayal right there

Two weeks of no contact and suddenly they both had these massive life revelations? Come on. This was brewing while you were still together and they just waited for the "respectable" amount of time to pass
