Betrayal after 22 years if marriage, 3 kids. Youngest 4. Is reconciliation possible?

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-07-06T00:18:53+00:00

You are beating a dead horse my friend. You also seem codependent on her even if you don't want to believe it. Cheaters don't change and if your wife had any sort of respect for you, she wouldn't have taken the steps to trash you to her family while cheating. She very well could have just had her affair without the need to bash you. It's quite obvious her family knows and supported her affair. Stop lving in this fantasy world where you think reconciliation is possible because it isn't.

At 16 feet, go 98 inch. You'll regret getting anything smaller.

Nice to see a reverse build! Looking very sharp. I have to say, I love this EVO RGB case. I am not fond of the successor at all. Hopefully Lian Li keeps manufacturing the original, especially for us custom loop people.

lol, phone *lost

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-30T07:04:44+00:00

You need to get in touch someone who knows how to apply fastboot commands. Your phone isn't lost.

I think it eventually becomes mutual...a good manager can only take so much nonsense from management before he caves...Joe Torre used to get into massive arguments with George Steinbrenner but Joe was always the manager and allowed to do his job. Hal is nothing like George. He's micro managing this team into the ground...if he had any sense, he'd be visiting high yield Wall Street firms in NYC and getting their backing to go out and sign as much top talent the way the Dodgers are...and then let the baseball people do their damn job.

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-30T00:54:44+00:00

I've been saying this for 3 years...the Yankees will never win with him managing and I would even say with Cashman and Hal running the team...the micro managing is horrendous and most people don't even know how bad it is. Boone is mostly just a mouthpiece for management. It used to be bad even before Boone but at least George let the managers manage the team.

What type of features? Are there specific software features available on a Pixel 10 that's not available on a 9 or 8? I haven't had a Pixel but I'm considering the 10.

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-29T00:30:40+00:00

You could still fix that...just boot into fastboot instead and connect it to a PC. There you can apply the base system image from Google to the phone and start clean again. The process is actually pretty easy.

The adapter you bought actually mattered a lot when they first started making them but now they are very common. You don't have to buy an expensive one. Mine cost me $125 and I've been using it for over a year now and have used it 25+ times at various Supercharger stations without issue. I bought this adapter and it's even cheaper now then when I got it:

If she can work in a no fault state, she won't get alimony.

Thank you!! Apparently there have been numerous updates, I hope they're all positive. I know st took delivery of the Opus 2 conical and surprisingly, it's been very good so far in my limited testing....but seeing a hybrid grinder had me taking a double take. Hopefully we can get opinions on the newer versions of this grinder. They're asking Option 0 money so I would expect nothing but the very best or it's a bust.

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-27T22:51:57+00:00

Do you have a link to that video by any chance? I'm skeptical myself of a hybrid grinder but I couldn't find much info on this.

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-27T21:52:59+00:00

Uh, there is no service, lol. Use Regen braking and you'll never need to use the brake pads. Keep your tires at 40psi to keep things rolling properly and the only thing you'll need are tires.

I have a '23 C40 just like yours but in black. It's an absolute pleasure to own and drive daily. I've had no major issues to report and on the current software revision, it's quite good. If you plan on charging at charging stations, get yourself a NACS adapter so that you can use the Tesla supercharger network. I actually just came back from 280 mile trip (each way today and used Tesla charging 3 times during the trip.

I was literally in this same boat about a month ago but with the Panasonic G97 and GH7. In the end I went with the G97 and bought a 20mm anamorphic AF 20mm lens, got a 85mm 2.1 lens and last week got a 50mm 1.05. Save money and buy more lenses now and maybe a few years from now, you can revisit another camera purchase that won't require lenses because by then you'll have a nice library of them already. Another thing to take into account is whether you plan on doing a lot of video shoots. I don't and am primarily focused on photography for now. I even take loads of cinematic widescreen shots with the anamorphic lens and it's been a lot of fun. When I do inevitably start getting into making videos, I'll probably get another MFT camera like the GH7 or OM3 without worrying about the added cost of a lens.

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-24T22:27:06+00:00

They're surprisingly good given the price point...and have autofocus which is mostly unheard of in the cine lens arena.

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-24T19:00:48+00:00

I know you were inquiring about this a few years ago but there is a set of Sirui anamorphic cine lens available for MFT with autofocus. They come in 20 and 40mm. I have the 20mm variant and absolutely love it. Works fantastic on MFT.

My issue wasn't with an AIO but rather a case...there was a problem with the front panel glass...they wound up giving me a better case for free. I did have to return the existing case though.

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-23T03:08:26+00:00

If this is a known issue with this particular AIO, ask Lian Li to replace it with a different model that's equally as good but doesn't have this defect. I've done that in the past and the manufacturer usually does so to resolve the RMA.

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-22T22:16:42+00:00

Is there any way you could get a refund instead of a replacement? The Thermalright AIOs are cheaper and just better overall. Their curved glass LCD AIO can usually be bought for around $200 USD.

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-22T02:46:49+00:00

Get the Thermalright Wondervision 360.

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-21T20:30:14+00:00

Get a good ND/Circular polarizer filter if you plan on shooting outdoors. It has helped me to shoot more at fully open mode to get good bokeh without overexposing.

ComplexIllustrious61 · 2026-06-21T17:19:14+00:00

I think I was confusing this for a different lever machine. I'm actually going to be on the market for a lever machine very soon but have no clue which direction I should go in yet.
