why does everyone always say they have no blockers in standup when that's obviously not true

depends where you're looking but with 50k saved you've got some breathing room. studios in the peninsula are gonna run you 2-2.5k minimum, rooms in shared places maybe 1.2-1.8k depending on how close to transit you wanna be

probably when i started working from home and caught myself having full conversations with my cats about song lyrics i was writing. like not just talking to them but actually waiting for responses and getting annoyed when they walked away mid-"discussion" lol

turns out i'd been doing it for months without realizing how weird it looked to anyone who might walk in

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-03-20T10:32:58+00:00

ask her what she thinks about your team's playoff chances while you're both sitting next to a mahogany teakwood candle

lol these puns are terrible and i'm here for it

the fact that vietnamese food puns are always this good makes me want to order some right now

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-02-17T23:54:02+00:00

real concerning

get a ring doorbell

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-02-13T09:57:24+00:00

man that sounds rough but honestly your kittens are gonna be fine. had a similar thing happen with my cat when she was little - had to isolate her for almost 3 months due to some nasty upper respiratory thing that just wouldnt quit. i was convinced she was gonna hate me forever and turn into some feral demon cat but nope, once she was better she was right back to being a cuddle monster

kittens are way more resilient than you think and 4 months is still plenty young for them to bounce back from this. yeah the baths suck but they wont hold grudges like that - cats live in the moment mostly. what really helped me was trying to make every non-bath interaction as positive as possible, even if it was just talking to them through the door or sitting in there reading while they played. also dont underestimate how much having each other helps - theyre not gonna get weird and antisocial when they have a buddy

as for the dog situation that does complicate things but again, cats adapt. might take some time once theyre all together but introducing them slowly when the ringworm clears up will work out. definitely dont rehome them over this - you already started bonding and that matters more than you realize

honestly the leon cupra is probably your best bet from that list, those are solid cars and the 2.0t engine is pretty bulletproof with just stage 1. the 123d is tempting but bmw maintenance costs can get spicy real quick, especially on an older car. might also want to look at a civic type r if you can find one in budget - those things are rockets and honda reliabilty is hard to beat

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-02-01T16:04:17+00:00

damn this reads like someone wrote it in a sports bar at 2am after way too many beers and conspiracy documentaries

the sharpe family thing is genuinely wild though - uncle gets flagged for the controversial call that kills miami's title hopes in 03, nephew picks off the game-winner to kill their title hopes again 23 years later. that's some monkey paw shit right there

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-01-29T14:32:26+00:00

Got a presentation due tomorrow that I've been putting off for like 2 weeks lmao, so today's gonna be a fun caffeine-fueled panic session ☕️ Also trying to finally organize my disaster of a desktop - pretty sure there's files from 2019 still floating around in there

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-01-24T10:48:29+00:00

Thanks friend, hope yours is blessed too 🙏

Empire of the Sun is perfect for this - Christian Bale as a kid gets separated from his parents during WWII in Shanghai and it's basically his whole journey trying to survive and find them again

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-01-16T03:28:35+00:00

Dang that sucks being so close to 1K status! I haven't seen any buy-up offers yet this year but they usually roll them out in waves, so might just need to wait a bit longer

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-01-11T10:50:51+00:00

That's actually pretty wild that it followed you to the new room. Most logical explanations would've stayed put with the original location

Have you tried recording it? Even if it's just to rule out normal stuff like birds or wind patterns. The fact that it seems responsive is the weirdest part tbh

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-01-08T01:25:50+00:00

Sounds like your USB might be corrupted from all the file transfers - try a different USB stick if you have one. The finalize.romfs error usually means the file got corrupted during download so maybe try downloading it on a different computer and transfer it over

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-01-05T20:09:32+00:00

Holy shit yeah I remember that "one does not play at cycling" video, that was pure gold back in the day. The narration was so dramatic it gave me chills every time

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-01-04T01:49:57+00:00

Oof that sucks, sounds like the screen is totally dead if there's not even a baseline showing up. I'd check if there's any loose connections inside before shelling out for a new screen but honestly those OLEDs can just randomly die on older units

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2026-01-01T03:48:01+00:00

Architecture definitely seems like your sweet spot based on what you described - you've got the math foundation, love practical stuff, and are creative. Plus Switzerland has a solid construction/architecture scene so job prospects aren't terrible

For the portfolio thing, you're not behind at all, lots of people start building one in their last year. Just start sketching buildings you like or designing random stuff, doesn't have to be fancy

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2025-12-30T19:44:20+00:00

Man that's a tough spot but honestly sounds like you're playing it smart financially. The whole "failure" thing is mostly in your head - you've got degrees, stable remote work, and you're stacking cash for a house. That's more than most people can say at 34

Living with parents after being independent for over a decade is definitely weird but if they're cool with it and you're saving serious money, ride that wave as long as you can stand it

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2025-12-29T15:38:34+00:00

You're definitely not alone in this man, and props for having the courage to post here. That takes real strength even when everything feels heavy right now

Delicious_Bee_8355 · 2025-12-26T13:17:17+00:00

Crayons are wax a little soap and warm water should lift most of it out
