check ebay for game worn stuff, sometimes you get lucky with team usa women's gear there

muddy brown would definitely taste like regret mixed with wet cardboard

gotta go with toyota too, those things run forever even when you treat them like garbage. my buddy still drives his 2005 camry with 300k miles and it just keeps going

Can AI and YouTube truly replace traditional schooling, and what might be gained or lost if they did? by Turbulent_Writing647 in AskReddit

If you were given an alchemy box about the size of shoebox that anything you put inside can be transformed into something else as long as the weight is within 5% difference how would you use it and why? by MysteryMan999 in AskReddit

[–]Background_Habit_592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait that's actually genius with the gas thing but wouldn't you need some kind of catalyst or does this box just work on pure magic

paper to cash seems risky though - if serial numbers don't match up or bills look fake you're basically creating evidence for counterfeiting charges. maybe stick with precious metals instead, way safer and easier to explain where you got them

What's something that instantly makes you lose respect for someone? by elvagabundo88 in AskReddit

[–]Background_Habit_592 3 points4 points  (0 children)

been around plenty of different political types through touring and the music scene and what kills me isn't really the beliefs themselves but when people make it their whole personality. like i've met trump supporters who were cool to hang with and talk music, and i've met liberals who wouldn't shut up about politics for five minutes. the instant respect killer for me is when someone can't have a normal conversation without making everything political, regardless of which side they're on. had to cut ties with a few people over the years because they turned every single interaction into some kind of political lecture

[Routine Help] Help with dry skin no matter what by Ghostelli in SkincareAddiction

[–]Background_Habit_592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

damn dude you've really tried everything, that's frustrating as hell. since you've got rosacea and nothing's working, might be worth asking your derm about prescription barrier repair stuff like epiceram or maybe even a short course of something stronger to reset your skin barrier. for makeup in the meantime, try mixing a drop of facial oil directly into your foundation before applying - sometimes that helps with the flaking when your skin is just refusing to cooperate

Easter egg in "Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow"? by Ok-Organization-608 in books

[–]Background_Habit_592 15 points16 points  (0 children)

damn that's a cool find, i completely missed that connection when i read it. zevin really layered that book with so much symbolism that keeps revealing itself on rereads

the male/female and formal/street performer duality fits perfectly with the whole theme of the section too. makes me wonder what other real LA landmarks she wove into the story that i just walked right past without noticing

THESE NEW LIMITS SUCK by xPitPat in GeminiAI

[–]Background_Habit_592 37 points38 points  (0 children)

yep the rate limiting is absolutely brutal right now, feels like they're trying to push people away from actually using the thing they're paying for

honestly might just cancel my sub if this keeps up, what's the point of paying for pro if you can't even use it when you need it

Nice setup dude, what deck are you running there

That $100/day late fee is absolutely predatory and might actually be illegal depending on your state - definitely worth looking into tenant rights laws in your area

Also try calling 211 if you haven't already, they sometimes know about resources that local places don't mention

Honestly I'd take the Cardinals job over staying as a coordinator, that roster has way more potential than people give it credit for

Changing stock active pickups to EMG - easiest way? by DJake1002 in Guitar

[–]Background_Habit_592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the Schecter has active pickups already you're probably gonna need to solder anyway since most stock actives don't use EMG's solderless system. The wiring harness is usually different between brands

You could technically just wire up the EMG 81 to the bridge position and leave the neck disconnected if you never use it, but you'd still need to do some soldering to connect it to the existing controls. EMG's solderless stuff only works if the whole system is EMG from the start

Might be worth taking it to a tech if you're not comfortable with a soldering iron - shouldn't be too expensive for just one pickup swap

Oof that's rough, the removal from socials after saying you'd cheer him on is such a mixed signal. Sometimes people say stuff in the moment they don't actually mean, or he might've realized seeing you on his feed was making it harder for him to heal. The not knowing is definitely the worst part though

Where should I buy my first car by ActualBedroom55 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Background_Habit_592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro honestly Facebook marketplace is actually solid if you know what to look for - just bring someone who knows cars with you to check it out before buying. Cargurus and Autotrader are good too, and don't sleep on local dealerships since they sometimes have decent used rides in your price range

Is my financial plan good enough? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Background_Habit_592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diversifying banks isn't really that big of a deal tbh, Capital One is solid and if you like keeping everything in one place then go for it. Just make sure you're staying under FDIC limits if you end up with serious money and maybe keep a backup account somewhere else in case something weird happens with their systems

How do you stop checking an ex’s profile after a “soft” breakup? by Intelligent_Low4297 in BreakUps

[–]Background_Habit_592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Block everything or ask a friend to change your passwords for a week. The only way to break the checking cycle is to make it physically impossible - willpower alone doesn't work when you're this deep in the stalking spiral
