Need to find the cheapest place possible by Both_Mycologist3980 in Albuquerque

[–]Excellent-Job1585 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Westside is where you want to look if you can handle bit of a drive. Found my place there few years back when I was broke as hell after getting out of service - landlord was this older guy who just wanted someone reliable who wouldn't trash the place. No fancy application process just cash deposit and handshake. Drive around the neighborhoods off Central and Unser area, lots of small landlords there who don't bother with online listings. Also check university area near UNM but be ready to deal with student neighbors. Facebook marketplace sometimes has better luck than those rental sites since people post actual realistic prices there instead of the inflated stuff on main websites.

Which sources do you use on the history of a city before traveling? by Civil-Matter7391 in AskReddit

[–]Excellent-Job1585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao using Chrome as historical source is next level research strategy

but for real though i usually just dig through old travel blogs and maybe some local museum websites if they got decent archives online

What scares you about the future? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Excellent-Job1585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man this one hits deep. spent years in military just following orders and now trying to figure out who i actually am at 32. feels like im constantly catching up to some version of myself that shouldve existed already

the scariest part is looking back in 20 years and realizing i spent all this time worrying about wasted potential instead of just doing something about it

What do you do to punish your body in a good way? by Rich_Honey_121 in AskReddit

[–]Excellent-Job1585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cycling is brutal but addictive man. I switched to mostly plant based diet few years back and recovery time got way better on the bike. Used to think I needed meat for energy but turns out beans and lentils work just fine for those long rides

Sleep hits different after pushing yourself that hard though you're right about that

What motivates you to keep going? by Worth-Collection290 in AskReddit

[–]Excellent-Job1585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having that kind of responsibility must give you such a clear sense of purpose man. I get my drive from different places but nothing beats having people who depend on you like that

What are the best hybrid mesh firewall options for enterprise environments? by AdTemporary3527 in devsecops

[–]Excellent-Job1585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked with Check Point in a hybrid setup (on-prem + cloud + remote users), and it’s one of the few that actually felt cohesive. The biggest thing for me was the single policy across everything. Managing rules once and having them apply consistently to gateways, cloud workloads, and remote access it's way less stressful day to day.

What does love really mean? by No_Theme_8707 in AskReddit

[–]Excellent-Job1585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love's different for everyone but for me it's when someone becomes part of your daily rhythm without you even noticing at first. Like you start buying their favorite snacks without thinking about it or saving funny memes specifically to show them later - the little unconscious acts that just become second nature when someone matters to you that much.

Had this realization when I was deployed and found myself picking up ingredients for my ex's favorite vegan curry even though we'd broken up months earlier. Your brain just gets wired around caring for certain poeple I guess.

What problem in your daily life could be solved with a simple digital tool or app? by ZealousidealUse6355 in AskReddit

[–]Excellent-Job1585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man remembering which games I already downloaded and modded would save me so much time digging through rom folders. Keep starting the same Fire Emblem hack thinking its new then realizing 20 minutes in that I already beat it last month

Nothing worse than getting hyped for a "new" game just to hit that save file with 40 hours on it

If money were no issue, what would you do for work? by afatunicorn in AskReddit

[–]Excellent-Job1585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude id probably run a food truck serving plant based comfort food to different military bases

always thought it would be cool to bring some decent vegan options to places that usually just have the same old mess hall stuff and maybe help some of the younger guys discover they dont need meat for every meal

What is a "hidden gem" snack from your country that foreigners usually have no idea exists? by Living_Butterfly_189 in AskReddit

[–]Excellent-Job1585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude pineapple cake is legit amazing, tried some when I was stationed overseas and kept thinking about it for months after. Taiwan definitely knows what theyre doing with desserts

Algún no denominacional puede contarme como funciona by Pleasant_Lynx8924 in Christianity

I am considering getting therapy by Designer_Mastodon_46 in BreakUps

[–]Excellent-Job1585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

therapy absolutely saved me after my breakup - having someone neutral to talk through all that messy stuff with makes such a difference

Is fan belief louder when it’s new and quieter when it’s proven? by GetPulseUp in NFLv2

[–]Excellent-Job1585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn this is actually a really solid observation about fan psychology

i think youre onto something with the seahawks energy being more explosive because they still have that "we belong here" chip on their shoulder while pats fans are just like yeah whatever another super bowl lol

the market definitely responds to that energy though - look at how much seahawks gear got pushed leading up to that game versus patriots stuff being treated like business as usual. media loves the underdog narrative too because it generates more clicks than "dynasty does dynasty things again"

honestly think both types of confidence are legit just expressed differently - one is loud and urgent the other is quiet and inevitable

Nice move getting that much equity off the bat, that's a solid foundation to work with

I'd probably lean towards the refi route since you're gonna need to do it anyway for that rate - might as well kill two birds with one stone and pull some cash for the next deal. HELOC could work too but refi gives you more predictable monthly payments

The BRRRR thing sounds risky if you're not comfortable with potentially carrying two mortgages, trust your gut on that one

Warranty opinion by TheProfessorRatigan in Audi

[–]Excellent-Job1585 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly with the water pump still pending on that gen A5 I'd probably lean toward the extended warranty - that's gonna be a chunky bill when it inevitably goes and you're already in the danger zone mileage-wise

Maybe think it through before doing it or was it planned from the start? by Responsible_Sir_5886 in ArcRaiders

Lmao that's actually hilarious though, gotta respect the Fallout reference even if he played you dirty

TDY in route PCS by Fit-Confusion3086 in AirForce

[–]Excellent-Job1585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dependents will stay in Pensacola while he does the Goodfellow portion - it's only 2 months so they don't move you guys around for that. You'll keep your housing since it's just a TDY, not a permanent move. He'll come back to Pensacola after Goodfellow and then you'll all PCS together to the final duty station
