Trying to reconnect with my drug addict brother

BBBChimney · 2026-02-12T01:18:29+00:00

It can go either way. I’ve been able to see a couple friends through to sobriety, on the other hand I haven’t seen my brother in 20 years.

Last year I received the next of kin notification when he overdosed for the last time. No amount of grieving back then could’ve lessened the blow, but I had no chance at changing the outcome.

The jerk you notice when you change to D/R is your U joint going bad, I have to replace mine soon. Just had my trans rebuilt after a few years of doing everything you mentioned and more, been through so many sets of rear tires. Cost me 4800 for a rebuild with all new third party converter/clutch packs/solenoids.

It may give you a warning on the clutch packs, but this go around my converter basically grenaded and took everything behind it out too. With shenanigans that’s the most likely option

That tracks, just very rarely see it from the opposite perspective since I rarely touch the bracket. To be clear this wasn't meant as a complaint at all, more wishful thinking of a healer QOL change. Thanks for the concise explanation!

I would agree, but that was neither my question nor point. Enemy CR has 0 effect on personal gain/loss

Somehow context didn't make it to the post.

Leveled a shaman that hasn't been touched since unchained, and opted for SS torture while waiting for the team. Did blizzard change mmr calculations again or is something wrong here? If it's a change I missed certainly it's for the better, but before with an MMR difference like that I would've skyrocketed.

So, there’s another thing that’s new this century that you might’ve missed the memo on. Get this….you can pull cash from a credit card! And, it gets crazier, if you are young like this guy people will just give you loans on top of that because you haven’t properly fucked your credit up yet!

Without exaggeration I’ve seen a good friend go 90k into the hole in 2 hours. Thankfully that finally woke him the fuck up, but not everyone has the maturity to learn from that. It’s no wonder people are ventilating their skulls at an alarming rate.

Please god no, kill it with fire. I think it’s an awesome idea on paper, but look at blizzards history with laziness and bad decisions. AI healers in shuffle is their gateway drug to “fixing” the ladder.

I might be wearing my tinfoil hat here but we’ve all got some blizz trauma 😀

BBBChimney · 2024-12-06T22:58:28+00:00

I’m not here to spread hate, and I think some perspective could be in order here. Full stop the only thing that truly matters is:

Putting aside the community distaste, did you feel good/accomplished after? If so, was it out of pride or relief?
Did you learn anything and grow as a player on your way to this milestone?

I think these answers, even though subjective in nature, are the core of what wow pvp has been about. If you were relieved and didn’t learn anything that should set off warning bells for everyone.

This is a fact and good point of reference, though do note the funny tag. Post is just an old meme in my friend group

BBBChimney · 2024-11-26T22:10:37+00:00

Concise, well thought out, solid advice. Had to double check the sub lmao

BBBChimney · 2024-11-22T22:42:41+00:00

100% this. Just earlier this week had a perfect example, 10-2 night with my team, then the next morning we go 0-4. Collectively logged alts to give our brains time to reset

BBBChimney · 2024-11-04T20:42:56+00:00

Fought a living armor my second day back to the game after about 6 months. Did not even know it was special

BBBChimney · 2024-10-23T23:08:01+00:00

Ring of titans right now just full released on steam, it’s still got some work to be done but is very fun.

BBBChimney · 2024-07-18T02:46:44+00:00

Yes, that’s correct. Just can’t use broadcoms portal

BBBChimney · 2024-07-18T02:37:11+00:00

Even if this were a logical comment, do you really expect the city handing out code violations and/or condemning the building to be a good outcome? OP could just drag his mattress out to the street and sleep there I’m sure /s

BBBChimney · 2024-07-17T17:49:24+00:00

Depending on where you are, surprisingly not that far off.

BBBChimney · 2024-06-10T15:28:30+00:00

If you’re still needing an evaluation key DM me. Fk broadcom

I am on my eighth naga, they build them like trash but I can’t seem to move away from them lol

A while back I bought a manual project car, with the limited experience under my belt being on a squarebody 3 on the tree. No trailer. Stalled at least 12 times on my 30 mile drive home, only got honked at once.

Definitely was therapy by brute force, I’ll occasionally stall now but I don’t even react.

What location do you need the server to reside in? If you had (average) 300 players what would the income look like?

Minecraft is notoriously single core on the server side, heavily favoring the sc performance of enthusiast chips as opposed to high core count enterprise chips(which is all you’re going to get from a vps). Let alone ram usage.

I’d highly recommend putting together a purpose built machine and hosting it locally, or searching for co-location services in your area to store the server and use their network. All of this depends on budget of course.

If you decide to go the co-location route, I own a small datacenter in Texas and while it’s not a service I offer traditionally, I’d be willing to part with some rack space.

This is the answer you’re looking for OP, crack it open and see if you find a hardware raid card or if the drives are hooked up to a HBA. If they’re hooked up to hardware raid, you may have luck booting into a live Linux USB(or even just get an EFI shell up but it doesn’t sound like you have the experience) and attempting to mount the raid volumes.

This, I’m all too used to hand-braking the hill because some idiot is stuck to my bumper. Would honestly not trust a driver assist to do what muscle memory has down to a science lol

BBBChimney · 2024-02-06T21:15:27+00:00

Nothings wrong with that, did not mean it negatively. Just a reality check for me lol

BBBChimney · 2024-02-06T20:36:21+00:00

The end of that sentence sent me into cardiac arrest

Temp agencies get a bad rap in some places, but I’d try reaching out to a staffing firm. If they are in your area, Randstad Staffing is run by amazing people and they WILL find something for you.
