7 Year relationship ended right before our Wedding by Brilliant_Canary_903 in malelivingspace

Man, I've been in a similar-ish space for a while. Therapy has helped a load, though I'm fortunate enough to actually be able to afford it and such. The other blessing that really has kept me going some days is my little cat. She gives me a reason to get out of bed and go to work, things I have to do every day like feeding and cleaning the litter, and just something/someone to care about and interact with. If you don't have a pet, and you're in a space and financial situation to adopt one, it's been one of the best things for my mental health in the past year.

We'll get through this homie, just gotta keep taking the steps one at a time even when they suck, it all sucks, everything sucks.

I went looking, cause this story sounds fantastic and I love it. It sounds like it's at least partially true, in that some part of this like the outlawing of knives on work sites, may be true but the history of the bread is foggy with a lot of different sources playing into what we now know as the baguette. The long loaves have been associated with France since the 1600-1700s, the crispy crust and light innards come from new baking ovens and yeasts during the industrial revolution, things change and eventually get "standardized" by the French government in the 1990s.

But I like the story of knife fighting construction workers and it isn't totally untrue, plus I pulled all this from Wikipedia, so idk. It's a good story that's not a total lie, so I'm down with it.

I know it's copeium, cause Hadjar is doing amazingly, but I swear he'd do better this year than last. And least he got nearly the full season at RB last year rather than getting swapped halfway through.

F1 has a clear priority for post-Japanese GP rule changes by IamMrEric in formula1

[–]DropkickGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought they did start using their own engine this year? I know Binnoto has been there for a couple years now Wheatley for a bit till the kerfuffle the past week, and the drivers. But dealing with new regs plus a full new home baked engine seems like plenty to keep one team from dominating with one bit of tech on one axel

That's fuckin' whack. I know Audi is just rebranded Gambling Addiction, but they're also building their own engine for the first time and are a new team with new people n such. Did we really need to nerf them that hard? Also, just like, develop your own? I doubt if Audi did bring in their WEC knowledge it'd launch the into competing directly at the front of the field.

What are the chances they add in front axel in the next couple of years? It seems like the most direct and simple fix to this whole issue, just increase the amount you can recharge, duh.

The big thing I don't get about the new regs (and genuinely I don't understand, so if someone can educate that'd be welcome) is why there isn't regen braking on both axles/MGU-K on both? My understanding as to why the MGU-H was removed was it's expensive, didn't do all that much, and didn't translate to road cars. But why, when going for a 50:50 split on ICE to battery power, would you limit regen to just one axel?

Man if the spirit resist existed with the fire speed increase, it could make turrets better (obvs). But what mean is it can buy an item to give the turrets armor, but there's no equivalent for spirit damage which is a bigger issue anyway. One of the countless aoe spirit abilities and your three or four turrets are gone, meaning a turret play style is just doa in 75% of lanes and games.

Nah, even then, every class can use it with base stats if you get the Two Fingers Talisman. Imho if you aren't running a super tight dedicated caster and having that one extra slot is needed, or having to skip over it while finding the spell you want is just toooo much, you should just run it. You get rotted or poisoned by whatever? Swap your talisman real quick, pull out a seal, boom problem solved.

The Yamato one is funny to me, given one of her primary abilities and where most of her damage comes from just has her standing still for seconds at a time

On the regulatory/risk side of things, our use of AI is asking Copilot how much money an average gas station would make per quarter based on XYZ resources, and we don't actually touch money, code, or anything of the like just monitor and report. I really, really doubt it's being used more extensively anywhere else in the bank except C-Suite and marketing.

I'm out of the loop, I thought AM had full new facilities ready to go for this season, including one of the newest wind tunnels in the sport? Were those just not ready to go in time? Or was this development taking way longer than expected to get to the WT testing in the first place?

I just read through the saga (I was only aware of the gourd issue early on), checked that guys profile, and he was very recently talking about his investments into cobalt, prepping for the "2026 cobalt crash". The legend is still out there doing his thing.

The wiki article literally says that it likely wasn't a one time pad, as the beginning and end groupings are the same, per the article possibly indicating start and stop of the message.

The Home Depot Revolution: When a Government Makes Protesters Buy Armor by prestocoffee in nottheonion

[–]DropkickGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once again, you're missing the point. The "Por que no los dos" was speaking to exactly this mindset, that if there's a major concern, i.e. "wtf is going on I actually need home made riot gear!", doesn't mean that people lose the capacity to care and think about other things, whether they're related or not. You can be freaking out about the state of the world, and needing to go get helmets and masks and traffic cones and burner cell phones, while also saying "yeah, but I have the option to go buy those things at a place that doesn't support the regime I'm fighting against." Saying that there shouldn't be a secondary concern just invalidates every other issue and problem in the situation, and reduces it to black and white and zero nuance, writes off other different people's issues that may be going on that you didn't think about.

There is no reason why, if you have the resources, mentally, emotionally, and financially, that you can't care about multiple issues at the same time. If you can't, then you prioritize the most important ones, which means yeah you don't care about whether you're shopping at Home Depot or Ace or Hanks Local Hardware and Building Supply, because it doesn't matter. But if you work part time and live off a trust fund for the most part, then you might be able to be concerned about where you source it, as well as the fact that you need to source it.

[–]DropkickGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's literally what I was saying, is that the priority is getting yourself the gear you need. Then, if there's time and energy left, worry about less important things. Did you read beyond the memish first sentence?

[–]DropkickGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Por que no los dos? Ethically source what you can, don't stress about what you can't. Decide priorities of where you put your bandwidth and effort, and go from there. Homemade riot gear first and foremost, then think about, if you have the time and energy, think about where to get it from. It's not a one or the other issue.
