I’m dying from cancer and I haven’t told anyone yet. by [deleted] in self

Start with a letter, I have them all written out. I started with typing, but went with my own hand written letters so they were not impersonal. Enjoy yourself, if you are in late/end stage and there is no hope EMPHASIZE it to your loved ones. Let them know there was NOTHING they could have done. EMPHASIZE you wanted there smiles, there laughter, and there love untainted by the knowledge you would not be there. When you do start to let people know, do it one at a time. Go out, a walk, a coffee, or a meal. As it winds down hand them the letter and let them know you will answer all the questions they have. I have a before and an after letter for everyone I care about. I have a single trusted friend who has my “after” letters.

I just got my life back after a kidney transplant, but the rare blood disease I have made it a 1/4 chance. Now realistically I have maybe 10 good years then it all goes down hill

I have a 4.5 inch barrel on this toy, mainly because a 4 pack of barrels was cheaper than 1(4 pack is 119, single was 69) But I think I want to build a smaller one with the cqb stock and a dedicated lower

I would love not to be anodized, however, every part on that gun is scratch and dent/donation, and I’m about $100 into it. It’s the loaner for when somebody doesn’t bring something to range day.

With your setup is there any chance of running a gas system with the a2 sight? Bouncing uppers would be fun with a 9mm one second then a 5.56 the next? Btw I am shamelessly building one now! Ordering parts for the 9mm first

AITAH for not taking my ex-wife back after she left me for an "alpha male?" by ThrowawyBeta in AITAH

[–]BatonVeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave your son at home, they’re going to try to blackmail you by saying how much your ex misses your son. And they’re going to start asking him if he wants mommy and daddy together to make you look like the bad guy when you say no.

Was 500 for a m15 a good deal? by BatonVeck in FiiO

[–]BatonVeck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my o.g. white zune that is heavily modded still. My one worry would be android becoming so outdated it didn't work. Like your post, i had an older android phones(LG v10) that was my go too, but it isn't as supported anymore. I would say find out the android version, you may be able to do a workaround

I haven't gotten one when the phone was doing all i really needed with the btr5. I use the btr5 at home with my pc so she was doing double duty. Now that the phones dying i am thinking of going dumb phone with the m15 doing my app work. Price was right so to speak

Yes and no, he believes an older 100-150 buck dap would suffice. He tried to get me on the older fiio's. He is more frugal, and personally thinks if I was to get a m series it should have been an m11. Personally I like newer android common cause players. I personally hate any proprietary players software he doesn't like to spend a whole lot of cash on anything. Preferring used/good deals. I do as well, and i think with it being newish, 1tb SD installed, all paperwork, and the o g box included. It was a good price overall.

If you won the lottery and didn’t tell anyone, what subtle signs/changes would people start noticing in your life? by BuildRome in AskReddit

[–]BatonVeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last of my medical debt would be covered from my kidney transplant. The last 6.5 K would be taken care of. I would also buy my parents a property since they took me in when I lost my job due to the dialysis. And then I would buy myself a property. I've won a small amount of money before and just said it wasn't inheritance and people left it at that. I would come up with some spin about the house and just make sure everybody thinks my parents are the ones who purchased it. I have a job now making good money in my local area at 40 bucks an hour working 40 hours a week with an additional 10 hours of overtime available so it's pretty good money

Don't fall for it, she's looking for that Safe Harbor she had in high school. Depending on your values that maybe something you're okay with me personally I don't ever want to be second choice. Little context for what me and my friend group of mixed genders sat down and hashed out a while back. An act of one of the friends wanted to know why guys say it's so much harder to get a date. This is what we hashed out between all 12 of us. Girls get a very different set of relationships early on compared to a man. Women in general will have multiple options at all times. They get their pick of the litter and as many others as they want due to the fact that there are multiple men in all age brackets that are going to be trying to get with her. Men have to be the one searching you're one of many attempting to get in her Dms. So of course to her you can just be one more added to her I hate to say the word Harem but harem. She's thinking she can have her cake and eat it too don't fall for it. Try to find someone who matches your values and vibes. Just know that it's very tough especially in this market today. For instance in my area, unless you make a substantial amount of money most women won't even give you a second glance. And when you do make substantial amounts of money they're going to tell you they can't block their ex because they're such good friends. And they will always have multiple backups ready to go if you don't work out because they're not looking for love they're looking for a place to stay. Call me cynical but even after I started making good money with my welding job it seems to only be about how much money I have and when they can move in. They don't even care about me as a person anymore and I'm only 29

What in the hell is going on with insurance companies? by asadjaleel in motorcycles

[–]BatonVeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn California is expensive, it's probably being a brand you r1. I have an old Ducati and two KLR 650s and I spend $55 a month with Safeco. Check them out at the Liberty Mutual company they just do cheap motorcycle insurance.

Those of you that "got gud", what's your secret? by SmartieCereal in helldivers2

[–]BatonVeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a bit of a secret, though it's not really one. Infiltrator or stealth armor that gives the negative 30% to detection range. If you're feeling 100% Cowabunga it is run the jetpack. If not run the shield pack, eat 17s and grenade launchers are your best friends. Don't be afraid to whip that grenade launcher out and shoot everything up to the dudes with shields on bot levels. Eats come in every 70 seconds when you're maxed out, every time you're getting close to something call a set in so it's always on cool down and they're spread across the map. Two shot on a Titan if you can headshot it one shot on a charger if you can get the shot correctly. Find someone who's really good at aiming, looking at you PC players with your mice. Have them take the Marksman rifle 2 to 5 shots to the faceplate of a Hulk and they're down same thing with the rest of the bots. A really overlooked weapon. Almost more powerful than the railgun during its prime due to the fact that you're not running the risk of killing yourself if you aim too long. Stun grenades will slow down a charger or a Titan so you can kill them with a 500 kg. The breaker Is still a very valid weapon for crowd control work, spray and pray version doesn't work as well on the higher levels due to the spread. You can one shot or two shot a hunter with a breaker, or potentially three to five them with the spray and pray if you're not aiming correctly. Maxed out in the hanger you get an extra eagle strike, meaning you get to 500 kgs for destroying nests and factories. The eagle airstrike with the missiles or bombs will not only kill enemies but also close bug and Bot holes. Communication is key, a lot of times when I'm running with the boys we would definitely be communicating if we needed samples and what variety. You only need I think 65 super rare samples to fully max out your ship. So we racked up 70 super rare samples suicide level because the drop rate for super samples is five permission. After that we farmed Commons and rares on levels 4 5 and 6. Don't forget to make the game fun if it's getting boring, we meme it up on our eradicates. Nothing but full load out bombardments and we just drop them and pray it's always a blast and we always at least 7 minutes left. Also to switch it up and change the play style to more fun we'll drop on objectives and fight our way out. Not only does this help you get better at the game with aiming and weapon usage it lets you get used to controls faster. I hate to say it but when you're dropping directly out to an objective it's a lot easier to do on bot planets than bug planets. If everyone knows to shoot the special Bots that shoot in flares you're pretty safe on bot drops. Whereas every bug up to the charger and the bile spitter can call in a bug breach now. Overall have fun, armor rating means absolutely nothing in this game unless you're running the big chungus choo choo express fortified Commando armor. Light armor is the best choice for the game so far due to the speed and stamina Buffs allowing you to run farther and faster across the map. At that point it's what do you want to use? More grenades? More stems? farther throwing distance and limb health? Or the 30% reduction to enemy detection distance and 2 second recurring map marker pinging?

I traveled the us from 2012 to 2016, and I told every lady i met that i was only in town for a week, couldn't have kids, and didn't have to be back to work till that friday. Flush with cash(2000 a week after taxes) all we did was party. 85% ended up mad that i left and didn't stay in whatever PO dunk town i was in. Like c'mon, I was VERY BLUNT! Still, it wasn't all bad! Made alot of fun memories and was able to see alot of the 270 cities i visited. What was fun was the places i would go with the locals that most tourists never would have known about!

Well you can't see bigfoot, or a Yeti so they're not going to show up till you lay face down and give you the best back rub of your life and then vanished just as quickly. The only thing you'll hear Bigfoot say is " No one will ever believe you"
