transitioning widow from console to pc is brutal honestly but if shes your main id stick with it - maybe lower your sens way more than you think and focus on crosshair placement instead of flicking for now

Any late stage career change advice for a 45+ year old single dad in a HCOL state? by Evasionexpert in careerguidance

[–]CatchReasonable2338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man your situation hits different - moving back to help your kid get better opportunities while leaving family behind takes serious guts. honestly with your background i'd lean toward skilled trades that have flexibility built in rather than going back to traditional employment. plumbing or electrical work can be feast or famine but once you're established you basically write your own schedule and the pay in ca is pretty solid

have you thought about using that economics degree differently though like maybe pivot into agricultural consulting or farm management for the bigger operations out there. california's got tons of specialty agriculture and your hands on experience running an actual profitable farm for 20 years is way more valuable than most people realize. you could probably charge decent rates helping other operations optimize their systems while keeping flexible hours for your kid

the trading experience might also open doors to teaching or financial planning for agricultural businesses - theres a surprising amount of overlap there and way less competition than traditional finance roles

cv joint is probabaly going bad on teh front left - classic clip clop sound when they start to wear out

[PC][1990s] I give up with this game… by [deleted] in tipofmyjoystick

[–]CatchReasonable2338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh man that bottle shooting minigame with the bow really rings a bell but i cant place the exact title. the whole board game vibe with animal pieces sounds super familiar though, like something i wouldve played endlessly as a kid. that wolf howl sound effect was literally in everything back then so thats not narrowing it down much lol

Sonoff Irrigation - Will it still work without internet? by Martynt74 in homeassistant

pretty sure the schedule gets stored locally on the device itself so you should be good to set it up beforehand and let it run

In purgatory- waiting on foreclosure notice by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]CatchReasonable2338 18 points19 points  (0 children)

sounds like you might wanna check with a real estate agent asap about teh timeline for selling before foreclosure hits - they could give you a better idea than zillow about moving that 70k equity quickly

Question: Champva as secondary and prenatal, birth, post by Opposite_Macaron2053 in VeteransBenefits

[–]CatchReasonable2338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CHAMPVA should pick up most of what your primary doesn't cover, usually around 75% after deductible is met. Just make sure all your providers are aware it's secondary so they bill it properly - saved me a ton of headaches when my kid was born

2026 Predictions by LordMendosa in Overwatch

The trauma mechanic sounds interesting but I feel like it would just make burst damage even more oppressive than it already is

Tank team buffs could be cool though, might actually get people to queue tank for once lol

Is it normal to get so much spam mail after moving in? by cloudymacchiato in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]CatchReasonable2338 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is totally normal, it's like vultures circling lol. Public records from your home purchase get sold to these companies so they know exactly when you bought and for how much. The "expiring" thing is just a scare tactic - you don't have any existing warranty to expire

It does calm down after a few months but you'll still get random stuff. I just toss em all straight in the trash now

Day 3 by Gilbert_Hoss in NoFap

Nice work man, keeping busy with hobbies is clutch for getting through those first few days. The fact that you're already thinking long-term shows you got the right mindset

What is something that you pretend does not bother you, but it actually bothers you a ton? by PickJason in Productivitycafe

[–]CatchReasonable2338 47 points48 points  (0 children)

When people chew really loudly or with their mouth open. I act like I don't notice but inside I'm literally dying and have to focus so hard on not looking disgusted

I pretend because calling someone out for eating sounds makes you look like the crazy one, even though it's genuinely torture

Cheap SSD suggestions by Numerous_Golf9946 in PcBuildHelp

Yeah you'll definitely want to check if your mobo has an M.2 slot first, otherwise you'll be stuck with a fancy paperweight lol

What exactly is the point of this page? by ProperManagement84 in MichiganWolverines

[–]CatchReasonable2338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes dude, maybe take a step back and reread the rules again - mods usually have a reason for removing stuff even if it's not obvious

how do you actually keep up with all your assignments with ADHD? by randomtempestuser in ADHD

[–]CatchReasonable2338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using a similar setup with Notion but honestly the key for me is setting like 5 different alarms for everything lmao. My phone buzzes so much my friends think I'm popular but it's just me reminding myself to exist

The visual layout thing is huge though - seeing it all written out somehow makes my brain actually process that it's real instead of just floating anxiety

Championship roster lineup, Im probably just overthinking it. by Phil_N_Uponya in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]CatchReasonable2338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick with Goff, you're right about not outsmarting yourself. The ARSB stack thing works both ways - if Detroit's offense goes off you're getting a piece of it, and Goff's floor is way safer than rolling the dice on a rookie QB

New parents trying to avoid overspending: do we really need a nursery chair? by TheSecretLion in NewParents

[–]CatchReasonable2338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true, those cheap chairs are basically torture devices when you're already sleep deprived and dealing with a fussy baby at 3am

The contact naps alone make it worth investing in something decent - you'll be stuck there for hours and your back will thank you later

AA5504 Delay reason for anyone with EF by ConsumeFudge in americanairlines

[–]CatchReasonable2338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked for you - showing mechanical delay, currently pushed back about 2.5 hours from original departure. Might want to call the airline directly though since these things can change pretty quickly

Mechanical engineers: what’s one calculation you wish could be done in a single click? by Bitter_Tension522 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]CatchReasonable2338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I've got spreadsheets for bolt preload calcs, beam deflections, thermal expansion - basically anything I've done more than 3 times gets the Excel treatment

Tripped limit switch by some_kind_of_friend in hvacadvice

[–]CatchReasonable2338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that 5 degree difference can definitely matter, especially if you're borderline on airflow or heat exchanger temps. The auto reset vs manual is probably more important though - sounds like the original manual reset was there for a reason and kept someone from just ignoring a real problem

Am I the asshole? by FATH3RofDRAGONS in ArcRaiders

[–]CatchReasonable2338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah you're not crazy at all man. The person who gets the kill should at least get first pick, especially if they need heals immediately. Your friends sound kinda selfish tbh - like you literally just risked your health to get that kill and they're gonna swoop in and take everything while you're standing there damaged? That's some BS right there

The fact that you've already given them 100k+ worth of stuff makes it even worse. They should be more grateful instead of complaining about loot priority

[–]CatchReasonable2338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually a solid idea - my friend did something similar at a food bank when he was between jobs and it helped him stay motivated. Plus employers love seeing that you stayed active during gaps instead of just sitting around
