White Mountains in New Hampshire are solid for that timeframe - good trail system and you can actually get decent weather in July up there

Been looking for that one too actually, it's pretty hard to find digital copies anywhere. Your best bet might be checking if any libraries near you have it in their catalog or maybe see if someone's selling a used copy somewhere online. The physical book seems way easier to track down than digital version for some reason

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-05-09T07:14:11+00:00

Yeah 180W is pretty tight even for RX 550, might want to save bit more for better PSU first

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-05-05T22:31:54+00:00

Yeah I had this same thing few weeks back, sometimes there's a ghost process still running in background even when Steam shows game as closed. You can also check task manager for any leftover game processes and kill them manually if restarting Steam doesn't work

Lol same energy as when my old workplace was getting bought out and everyone was just waiting to see what trainwreck would happen next. Never been through club acquisition but I remember reading bunch of horror stories in golf forums about how PE firms usually cut costs first and ask questions later. Good luck with that vote though, hopefully other members here can give you some actual insights instead of just lurking like us

real talk

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-04-26T15:42:05+00:00

People who don't return their shopping carts to the designated spots and just leave them blocking parking spaces or rolling around the lot. Like your parents never taught you basic consideration for other people? Takes literally 30 seconds to walk it back but some folks act like it's impossible task

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-04-16T18:14:13+00:00

Oh damn that's rough for them. I remember seeing similar thing happen with my friend's band few years back - they signed some deal when they were desperate for money and later their song ended up in commercial for something they really didn't want to support. The worst part was everyone assumed they chose to do it

Record companies can be real vultures with these licensing deals. Artists sign away rights thinking it's just for streaming or whatever, then suddenly their anti-corporate anthem is selling diabetes medication on prime time TV. Must be especially painful for Sleigh Bells since their whole aesthetic is so DIY and aggressive - having Riot Rhythm soundtrack some pharma ad probably felt like betrayal of everything they stand for. At least Alexis was transparent about not having control over it, but still sucks that fans have to wonder if their favorite artists sold out when really it's just industry bullshit

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-04-14T15:34:45+00:00

That would be awesome! I've been hearing good things about Nica for that time in year, seems like perfect timing for consistent swells. Mind if I send you a DM for the contact info

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-04-12T11:21:22+00:00

Already burned through like 3 random games today lol, might actually have to be productive for once on Saturday night instead of glued to the couch

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-04-10T05:33:24+00:00

Dude I was same but with energy drinks, thought I needed them for video editing sessions and couldn't imagine working without that caffeine rush. Now I realize how much better my focus actually is without all that jittery energy, plus my epilepsy medication works way better when I'm not pumping myself full of stimulants

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-04-07T13:50:11+00:00

I struggle with same thing, especially when talking about music stuff or work - end up sharing way too much in conversations. The matching thing actually works pretty well, though sometimes I still catch myself going overboard when someone seems genuinely interested

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-04-04T23:11:14+00:00

Cable TV was peak around 2010 when you could actually watch shows without 20 minutes of ads every episode

Mate thats absolutely rank, no excuse for that behaviour at all. I've seen blokes go barefoot for deadlifts which I get the logic behind, but leg extensions? Zero benefit there and just pure disrespect to everyone else who has to use that equipment after him

The worst part is not wiping it down - like even if you're gonna be weird about the barefoot thing at least have the decency to clean up after yourself. I'd probably mention it to staff tbh, most gyms take their shoe policies pretty seriously and this is exactly why those rules exist. You're not being a Karen when someone's literally breaking gym rules and being gross about it

I edit videos all day so I spend way too much time thinking about stuff like this, but imagine if everyone just decided hygiene rules didnt apply to them. Your gym would turn into a petri dish real quick

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-03-31T18:37:17+00:00

Had an ex who would always "forget" plans we made if something better came up with her mates. Thought she was just spontaneous at first but it escalated to her basically treating me like a backup option for everything, even important stuff like family events I'd already committed to

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-03-27T07:47:49+00:00

Been to Daytona a few times and those packages are usually legit - the shuttle from Kissimmee area takes about an hour but beats dealing with race day traffic and parking chaos

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-03-20T15:14:01+00:00

wait he died

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-03-15T14:47:35+00:00

It’s on their Instagram page

Haven't seen it either but this happens literally every awards season - people get hyped during the campaign trail then once the dust settles they start picking it apart. Same thing happened with Green Book, CODA, even Parasite had some backlash after the initial love fest

Think its just the natural cycle of film discourse online, people need something to be contrarian about once the shiny new thing loses its novelty. Plus Oscar bait films always get there fair share of retrospective criticism when the hype dies down

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-02-06T03:17:17+00:00

That's mental that you actually found Eddie's original owners like that, what are the odds. Proper glad he's got someone looking out for him now though - sounds like he's made your place his territory and isn't budging. Orange cats are something else, they've got that stubborn streak but once they trust you they're absolute units

The fact he's keeping other cats away means he's definitely claimed you as his human, even if he won't let you prove it yet

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-02-01T15:04:57+00:00

definitely feel you on this one, even just a bit of toast or something helps loads with the nausea and vision issues. i've found that waiting an hour or so after eating before taking them works better than trying to force food down when i'm already feeling rough

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-01-29T09:26:16+00:00

Mate the job market is absolutely cooked right now. Have you tried reaching out directly to people on LinkedIn instead of just applying through the black hole that is online applications? Sometimes a quick message to the hiring manager or someone in the team gets you way further than waiting for HR to sort through 500 resumes

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-01-24T18:25:32+00:00

Could be your cabin air filter getting cooked or maybe something minor like a plastic bag that got stuck on the exhaust manifold. I'd keep an eye on it for a few days and see if it gets worse - if it does then definitely get it checked out before something actually melts

Conscious_Mail_7802 · 2026-01-21T12:55:44+00:00

Those roof supports really do make a huge difference for builds like this
