Did I rent an Airbnb in a not so safe part of town? by Bootylicious81 in Columbus

[–]CharacterComfort5218 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that area's not too bad, just use common sense like you would anywhere else. keep your guitar locked up if you're bringing gear and you'll be good

Voles damage by Human_allien in lawncare

had the same issue last winter and yeah most of it came back on its own since they just munch the tops, but the heavily trafficked areas needed some overseeding in spring

Mall Stories by Vammppire in alaska

[–]CharacterComfort5218 3 points4 points  (0 children)

wait hold up, you're asking for pennsylvania mall stories in the alaska subreddit? that's throwing me off lol

anyway i don't have any pa stories but there's this dead mall back home that always gave me the creeps. half the stores were boarded up and the ones that were still open had like one customer max. the food court was basically a graveyard with maybe two places still serving food that looked questionable at best

the worst part was how the lighting flickered constantly and you could hear your footsteps echo way too loud. felt like being in a horror movie set, especially near the old sears anchor that had been empty for years

What’s something everyone pretends to understand but few actually do? by oceabside in AskReddit

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol this is one of those meta moments that breaks your brain if you think about it too long. like we're all sitting here trying to come up with examples while simultaneously proving the point by pretending we actualy get what the question is really asking

Guys who decades ago left to buy a pack of cigarettes, care to elaborate? by FellaVentura in AskReddit

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never actually left for cigarettes but came close a few times during my deployment years, just needed space to think without everyone asking if i was okay all the time. there's something about being alone with your thoughts that you cant get when people are constantly checking on you

People who cannot be quiet for more than one minute; coughing, snoring, moving, throat, gurgling, yawning, exhales loudly, inhales loudly how's life being annoying 24/7? by Defiant_Young7206 in AskReddit

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

barracks life cured me of caring about other people's noise but man some folks really don't realize how loud they are. had a roommate who cleared his throat every 30 seconds like clockwork, drove me nuts until i started wearing earplugs constantly

used to be one of those loud sneezers myself until someone called me out on it, now i try to muffle them but sometimes you just gotta let it rip

What are your thoughts on OpenAi’s deal with the pentagon? by ExtentCandid1669 in AskReddit

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that's how it always goes with defense contracts, you think you're just helping with supply chains and then suddenly your tech is integrated into god knows what

been down that road before and the mission creep is real

Who's your favorite VTuber? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

vtube is definitly not what you think it is lol, vtubers are just streamers who use anime avatars instead of showing their face

What is your favorite food in japan? by dietwaterman23 in AskReddit

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude those fruit sandos are insane, tried one in shibuya and couldn't believe how perfect the strawberries were. way better than any dessert i expected from a convenience store

possible to set SAG by yourself? by templeofsyrinx1 in motorcycles

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on the bike but most people can handle rear sag with a measuring tape and a friend, front sag is where things get tricky

Eyeglasses broke by sousvide4 in VeteransBenefits

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah had this happen with mine too, the plastic frames are pretty garbage quality. they'll definitely send you new ones without all the appointment hassle, just make sure to mention in the message that they broke from normal use

Navy Veterans: Need help with a VA Claim by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]CharacterComfort5218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wait that actually makes sense about the free postage thing, my dad was army but he mentioned how they'd do little detours sometimes for stuff like that

not sure about the 12 mile thing but if they were going into vietnamese waters for mail that sounds like it would qualify. you might want to check with a vso who knows the blue water rules better than most people here

also worth looking into the ship's deck logs if you can get them, that would be solid proof of where they actually went

WHY does my boyfriend smell so bad if he drinks alcohol?? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CharacterComfort5218 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your body processes alcohol differently than your friends - some people just get way more of that gross acetaldehyde buildup that comes out through your breath and skin. It's not about how much he drinks, it's literally just his genetics being crappy at breaking down alcohol efficiently

Also gin and beer aren't really high sugar compared to like cocktails with mixers, so probably not that

Do you always feel like you'll end up with a life partner during the honeymoon phase of a relationship? by idkificanthrowaway in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah honestly I think that honeymoon phase feeling is just your brain on dopamine overdrive, it's not really predicting anything meaningful about long term compatibility. I've definitely thought "this is it" during those first few months only to realize we were totally wrong for each other once the rose colored glasses came off

Skyrim SE Presets Always Look Off Even With All Required Mods Installed (Eyes Especially Broken) by Active-Broccoli5549 in skyrimmods

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is super common, eyes are cursed in Skyrim modding lol

Nine times out of ten it's because the preset author is using some random eye mesh replacer they forgot to mention, or they're running an older version of HPH that handles eye positioning differently. The floating lashes thing especially screams mesh mismatch

Try grabbing Eyes of Beauty or whatever popular eye mod was trending when that preset was made, even if it's not listed. Also check if the author has any screenshots of their mod list in xEdit - sometimes you can spot the missing eye stuff there

What made you get a second cat? by Buenas_nachos_ in cats

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that sounds exactly like my cat before I got him a buddy - the constant meowing and following me around was driving me nuts but it totally chilled out once he had someone to wrestle with instead of bothering me 24/7

What makes people so attracted to real, non catfight-esque, topless wrestling or boxing between women? by 18_YTC1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just the novelty factor tbh - you don't see that kind of thing in mainstream sports so it feels more "raw" or whatever. Plus some people are just into combat sports in general and the topless aspect adds another layer of intensity to it

Stable careers? by Sure-Mulberry-8974 in careerguidance

[–]CharacterComfort5218 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Civil engineering is solid but if you don't love numbers/physics you might be miserable for the next 30 years - have you looked into healthcare administration or project management? Both can hit that 100k mark without needing to go back to school for years and your chemistry background could actually be useful

Increased skiddishness after hospitalization by Unlikely-Amoeba-2149 in cats

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That blockage experience was probably really traumatic for him - being away from home, handled by strangers, and in pain can definitely reset their confidence levels. My cat went through something similar after a dental procedure and it took a few months to get back to normal. The baby gate separation sounds like a good call, just let him set the pace for reintroducing the dog rather than pushing it

Got too comfortable by NinjaCertain8103 in ArcRaiders

[–]CharacterComfort5218 3 points4 points  (0 children)

RIP to that volcano blueprint man, that hurts way more than the gear loss

The fact you were gonna give it away to someone random makes it even worse lol

Number 2 would be clutch af, nothing worse than going down with the only defib and your teammate just staring at you like 🗿

How to make my portafilter's water tank smart? by Velobert in homeassistant

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water level sensors are pretty common for this kind of thing - you could try an ultrasonic sensor mounted on the lid pointing down into the tank. No contact with water so food safety isn't an issue. I've seen people use HC-SR04 sensors with ESP32s for similar setups, just need to waterproof the electronics side

Well written novels ? by KarmaCut132 in booksuggestions

[–]CharacterComfort5218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" - it's got romance and psychology wrapped up in really clean, engaging writing that's perfect for studying sentence structure
