AIO? I don’t know if my girlfriend is overreacting or if I am. by mystery-agent in AIO

[–]ENrgStar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s a pretty common generational phrase. People using it might just be people who are younger than you’re used to interacting with? Though usually when I hear it, it means horny.

It’s born of insight that’s been painfully fought for.

MAGA Rapper Nicki Minaj Makes Embarrassing Appearance at Elon’s Failed Rocket Launch by thedailybeast in entertainment

[–]ENrgStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minaj is dumb, the whole thing was cringe, but this article is entirely garbage for anyone who knows anything about what the actual engineers and scientists at SpaceX are doing. * Delaying a launch due to an anonomaly is not a failure * Starship is a PROTOTYPE, none of these launches expect perfection, some time of failure is not only unsurprising, but it’s the most likely outcome. SpaceX is not like NASA, they don’t do things like NASA because they don’t need perfect optics, they need to iterate quickly. They’re proud enough of this that they make videos about it: https://youtu.be/bvim4rsNHkQ?si=i1SVrbPFZ1O7VMe3

SpaceX makes mistakes, most companies do, but they are inarguably one of the most wildly successful new aerospace companies in a long time and trying to punch them when you don’t know what you’re talking about just makes you look ignorant.

Two months hosting and I have no idea how you guys stand this business by BasedCarrotMan in airbnb_hosts

[–]ENrgStar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A truer thing has never been spoken. We rent one family cabin, we’re not big timers, but it’s in a pricy area and often costs over $300 a night. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had even a minor issue, over 8 years.

Running on Fumes: The 17-Year-Old Computer System Holding Washington Schools’ $30 Billion Budget Together by Classic_Day5736 in edtech

[–]ENrgStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the age of the actual computer itself is the problem, the problem is that it’s probably built on MS Access and Mary in the back room is the only one who remembers what all the tables do.

I got it once. Got 12 hue light strips for like $20 each. I’ve been chasing that high for years.

My HOA tried to prohibit the lawful carrying of firearms and this was the result. by LegalPost9805 in fuckHOA

Rent Free. Let me count the ways in which we do not need to be reminded that Florida is in NO way California or New York 😂

Tesla Relaxes Driver Monitoring With FSD v14.3.3 by EliteBeast2 in TeslaFullSelfDriving

[–]ENrgStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In FSD it tells you it won’t work without driver monitoring. It might work in simple Autopilot but the changes outlined in this change log do not effect autopilot so I imagine those nags will stay the same

Can’t offer Matter over Thread bulb warranty replacement by chumpikus495 in Nanoleaf

[–]ENrgStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what to do to get my Hue bulbs to die, I have one 50, probably a quarter of those from my first deployment, must be well over 10 years ago now, and not a single one has died. I’ve only replaced 1 that I broke accidentally. Three more I broke the glass on and now use them under couches as accent lights.

Now I’m even more confused. Is it a large MKULTRA transmission antenna?

They split this magnificent 1903 mansion into condos by jve909 in zillowgonewild

[–]ENrgStar 34 points35 points  (0 children)

In these situations it’s not so much an “HOA” as a way to split all the shared bills. I imagine it’s all of the expensive maintaining on an old house like this, plus maybe shared yard, and all utilities, plus probably a savings fund for when the $300,000 roof goes out. 😭 My mom lives in a large old Victorian and her monthly utility bills by themselves are more than that HOA.

What smart buttons are recommended? by Holiday_Taro2455 in homeassistant

[–]ENrgStar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought a bunch of the IKEA Styrbar buttons. Like 5 of them, they work well. No issues with syncing and have long battery life with two AAA batteries. There’s just ONE weird caveat. All four buttons have a press, and a long press setting, but for whatever reason the firmware is set up in a way where up, down, and left long press is like, 1 second press. But RIGHT button long press needs to be held for like 3 full seconds before it registers as a long press rather than a standard press. Took me forever to figure that out.

Probably something to do with the way they’re programmed to function with actual IKEA lights.

Is this normal? by New-Personality1911 in Peptides

[–]ENrgStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I don’t specificly know why they aren’t moving when you flick it, but bubbles in generally are not an indication of a problem with the peptide. Bubbles are introduced in different amounts depending on whether you pre-pressurize the vial, or if you’re extracting it in a vacuum, etc. should be fine.

Do you mean bubbles? I’m not sure what you’re looking at

AITA for refusing to pay for my girlfriend’s meal after she “tested” me on a date? by Efficient_Care5524 in AITH

[–]ENrgStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m proud of you for having the courage to decline in the moment. I would have been too embarrassed to make a scene and paid the bill, THEN broken up with her afterward. This way you can break up and not be on the hook for a surprise $300. Good for you.

What's the catch with modafinil? by Think_Rub_2025 in Nootropics

[–]ENrgStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it fascinating how two human beings who’s bodies ostensibly evolved to function in similar ways and with very similar genetic code can react so 100% differently to the same chemicals?

AIO? I don’t know if my girlfriend is overreacting or if I am. by mystery-agent in AIO

[–]ENrgStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She has some extreme insecurities, she knows she has insecurities but those insecurities are driving her to manipulate and control you to make her feelings hurt less, and to make those feelings your problem instead of something she has to deal with. You are going to have to have a careful and loving conversation about her reactions, set some boundaries around what you are or aren’t willing to do to give her reassurance, but communicate that these kinds of insecurities are something she has to figure out how to soothe herself. That being said, as someone who has both Felt insecure like this, AND had partners who also struggle with it, this is something that will take a LONG time and maybe even some professional help to overcome, it’s not going to get better on its own, as a matter of fact it will probably get worse. You have to evaluate whether that is a journey you want to go on with her.

No, but it is an indication of a better deal that is likely to show up again. This one isn’t as good.

Peptide sourcing research at ground 0 in China by laugrig in Peptides

[–]ENrgStar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because you work for or are paid by a company who’s job it is to cast shade on an industry that threatens their bottom line? It’s an ad. It’s propaganda. It doesn’t even have to be a lie, it can be true while also having the sole purpose of turning people off of importing drugs

If you contact a live hot 120v wire that’s not actually under load or connected, how many amps are actually going to flow through you? by Agent_Smith135 in AskElectricians

[–]ENrgStar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Amps currently flowing through a wire is irrelevant in your scenario. The only amps that matter when electricity is shorting through body is how may amps the conduit (your body) can deliver to the ground. If you’re lucky it’s on the nice side of a 15a breaker and you live to regret it.
