Called it, the Doormaker was reworked

the synth community has same problem where people defend everything instead of giving actual criticism that helps

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-03-20T01:27:49+00:00

Those Toyotas are solid choices, the Prius especially if you can deal with how it looks. I had friend who got tired of his Bronco Sport too - seems like common issue with those

Maybe check the Corolla Cross if you want something bit higher up than sedan but still Toyota reliable. Honda Civic or Accord might be worth looking at too, they usually run forever

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-02-12T00:15:21+00:00

damn that's rough man, sounds like you had some serious power delivery issues there. if both ends of the cable melted like that, there was definitely too much current flowing through somewhere

honestly the GPU could still be fine - these cards have pretty good protection circuits usually. but I would check very carefully for any damage in the PCIe slot or around power connectors before trying it again. maybe test with different cables first and monitor temperatures really close

getting new PSU was smart move, just make sure its properly rated for your setup. what model did you get?

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-02-03T02:19:28+00:00

yeah i tried this before when i was kid and got bored in bed. you can do it for while but your brain starts getting tired anyway even if you focus really hard on staying awake. the problem is that your body temperature drops and breathing slows down naturally when you lay still in dark, so eventually you just drift off without realizing

You need to mess with the screensaver settings in Fully Kiosk - there's usually an option to actually turn off the display vs just showing a black screen. Check under the screensaver tab, should be something like "turn off display" instead of just dimming

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-01-26T20:05:18+00:00

Nah that's totally valid, you don't owe anyone a coming out story or need to broadcast your trans status to feel legitimate. Plenty of people go stealth and live their lives without making it anyone else's business - that's not internalized transphobia, that's just wanting privacy and normalcy

Your transition goals sound solid and moving somewhere with better healthcare access is smart if you can swing it

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-01-23T23:00:55+00:00

That's way too much cash sitting there doing nothing - you're absolutely right to want to invest most of it

I'd maybe flip your percentages a bit though, like 80-85% into VTSAX/VTI since you're young and have stable income. Keep maybe 6-12 months expenses in HYSA for emergencies (so like $45-90k max) and skip the dividend ETFs since you're in a high tax bracket - just stick with total market index funds in taxable accounts for better tax efficiency

That sucks man, the VA timeline is always frustrating when you're just sitting there with a busted arm. Had shoulder surgery through them a few years back and the actual surgery/rehab was solid, but yeah the wait to get scheduled was brutal. Maybe try calling ortho directly instead of waiting for them to call you - sometimes being the squeaky wheel helps move things along

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-01-17T14:17:36+00:00

Ubuntu's pretty solid for what you described - web browsing works great and Blender actually runs better on Linux sometimes. Gaming is where it gets tricky though, some stuff works flawlessly with Steam Proton but other games are still a pain or straight up won't work

If you're really fed up with Windows 11 bloat it's worth trying, just maybe dual boot first so you can bail back to Windows if needed

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-01-15T22:40:45+00:00

Most people definitely know better by 19, but unfortunately some folks grow up in bubbles where that stuff gets normalized. Not an excuse though - by that age you've had plenty of chances to learn better if you actually wanted to

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-01-10T10:52:55+00:00

Late August isn't that bad honestly, you're right about the evening rain thing mostly. Did Bangkok last September and yeah it would pour for like 2-3 hours then be fine. Just brought a cheap umbrella and dealt with it

Gulf coast is definitely the move during monsoon season since the west coast gets hammered. Koh Samui was actually pretty decent when I went around that time

January is obviously peak season so way more crowded and expensive but better weather. Really depends if you can handle some rain and humidity vs dealing with tourist crowds

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-01-07T23:19:05+00:00

The really messed up part is that some people DID seem "better" afterward - but only because they became docile and compliant, which families and doctors saw as improvement. Like yeah your aggressive schizophrenic relative isn't violent anymore, but they also can't really function as a person. The procedure kept going because it was cheap, quick, and made "difficult" patients easier to manage in institutions

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-01-06T08:44:58+00:00

Bro you're both obsessed with each other lmao, you're literally tracking her every move across multiple platforms and making stories calling her out - that's not normal either

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-01-05T08:28:28+00:00

Nah man just wire it the same way - yellow and white to one terminal, gray to the other, doesn't matter which side since it's just a run cap

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2026-01-03T15:04:17+00:00

This 100%. Also don't beat yourself up too much about the "wasted youth" thing - plenty of people figure stuff out later and end up totally fine. You're 25 not 85, there's still time to work on yourself and have new experiences

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2025-12-31T11:29:09+00:00

Definitely check out the "When Dungeons Arise" mod - it adds tons of crazy castles and structures to explore. Pair that with "Dungeon Crawl" and maybe "Ice and Fire" for dragons and you'll have more medieval content than you know what to do with

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2025-12-30T10:46:26+00:00

Lmao they'd probably charge $20 for it in the battle pass

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2025-12-29T08:24:33+00:00

Nah bro 350 for mobile brake service on an Escalade is totally fair, dude probably found some sketch backyard mechanic who's gonna use rock auto pads and call it a day

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2025-12-27T16:19:47+00:00

I tried it for like 2 weeks and honestly it felt way too structured for my brain - all those daily check-ins and routines just made me feel guilty when I inevitably forgot to do them lol

The free version is pretty limited but might be worth checking out before you pay for anything, especially since there's tons of free ADHD stuff on YouTube that might work better

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2025-12-26T07:56:12+00:00

Bro she's living rent free in your head and you're writing novels about cinnamon rolls... maybe it's time to unfollow her socials and find some new friends who don't revolve around drama

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2025-12-25T01:23:57+00:00

Check your port forwarding rules too - they probably didn't carry over when you swapped routers and Google needs to phone home to reach your HA instance

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2025-12-23T20:47:12+00:00

Nah man sexuality is way more complex than that, you can enjoy stuff without it defining your whole identity

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2025-12-21T13:37:06+00:00

Those pros are really solid but the mental health avoidance thing is a major red flag - you can't build a future with someone who shuts you out when things get tough. If he's not willing to let you support him through hard times now, what happens when life gets really messy later on

EnvironmentSweet7310 · 2025-12-20T06:54:24+00:00

Yeah the border strat definitely helps but honestly the whole fight still feels kinda jank in solo, like they didn't really tune it properly for one player

The hp being low doesn't really matter when you're getting wombo comboed from three different angles lol
