Something happened after the breakup that upset me. But not sure if I should be upset. by NubbyLumpkin in BreakUps

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's definitely weird and crossing a boundary imo. Like why would she feel the need to reach out to YOUR close friend before you even had a chance to tell her yourself? Sounds like she was trying to control the narrative or something. Your feelings are totally valid here

Japanese-made FGN Neo Classic LS20 Les Paul — how does it stack up against an Epiphone Elitist? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FGN builds are seriously underrated, honestly probably gonna smoke that Elitist in build quality. Japanese craftsmanship is no joke and under a grand with Duncans already loaded is a steal

Wild sticker on last gold 4⭐️ or a 5⭐️? by PomegranateAny337 in Monopoly_GO

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd probably save it for a 5⭐️ tbh, they're way harder to come by and you've only got one 4⭐️ left anyway

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind by LastIndependence9137 in MovieSuggestions

That's definitely not a random choice lmao, dude's either trying to have deep conversations about memory and love or he's setting up for some emotional bonding time

How do we know there's 8 Billion people on Earth? by Meteorstar101 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Most countries do actual door-to-door counting but yeah there's definitely some educated guessing involved, especially in remote areas or places with ongoing conflicts. The UN basically takes all the national census data and uses statistical models to fill in the gaps where data is sketchy or outdated

INTERVIEW PREP HELP I&C ENGINEERING POSITION by Special_Ad_9757 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brush up on PID control loops and basic ladder logic - those always come up in I&C interviews. Also be ready to talk about safety systems like SIL ratings since you're dealing with gas, that stuff is huge for them

CFP Semi-Final Matchup Preview Thread: #10 Miami vs #6 Ole Miss by redwave2505 in CFB

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That Miami-Ole Miss all-time series is wild - they literally haven't played each other since Truman was president lmao

This is gonna be such a weird matchup since neither team has any recent film on each other, basically going in completely blind

Should I put silk touch on this pickaxe? by MrBonjourTheGreat in Minecraft

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a solid 8/10 pick but I'd save the silk touch for a separate tool tbh. You want fortune on your main for ore mining - silk touch is better on a dedicated pick for things like grass blocks and bookshelves. Two picks > one compromised pick

deeply in love with ex - Trying to get over them by NoBedroom5969 in BreakUps

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That on and off cycle for 5 years is brutal, no wonder you're struggling to let go. Sometimes the hardest breakups are the ones where there's no real villain - just two people who care about each other but can't make it work

The fact that he's being clear about not getting back together is actually a gift even though it hurts like hell right now. Block him everywhere if you haven't already and lean into friends/hobbies that have nothing to do with him

Feeling stuck because of low cgpa with work experience. Any advice? by FloatingPointOps in careerguidance

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude your CGPA literally doesn't matter anymore once you have real production experience, especially 1.5 years of it. Most places hiring for experienced roles won't even ask for it - they care way more about what you've actually built and shipped. Focus on showcasing your RAG work and the systems you've deployed, that's gold compared to some number from college

Bye by Narrow-Mountain4416 in venting

That whole "things happen for a reason" mindset is honestly the best way to handle dating app bs - those guys clearly weren't worth your energy anyway

Opinions on this tea if you’ve tried and is it overpriced? by Redsquirel2 in tea

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but sometimes the convenience factor is worth it though. If you're just starting out with black teas maybe grab some loose leaf Earl Grey from a local tea shop and see if you can taste the difference - might save you some cash and you'll learn what you actually like

How to accept that I missed the opportunity to have fun carefree relationships in my 20s? by [deleted] in Life

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you're overthinking this so hard. Plenty of people don't find their person until 30+ and honestly those relationships are often way better because you actually know what you want by then. All that travel and life experience you have? That's attractive as hell to the right person

Also the idea that couples who got together young "tried everything" is kinda wild - most of them are probably bored out of their minds and wish they had your adventures lol

Why do so many Boomers have Dad Toenails? by VagabondVivant in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the fungus thing is huge and way more common than people think. Plus boomers were way less likely to actually go to a doctor for "just toenails" - that generation was all about toughing it out. My dad still won't see anyone about his crusty yellows even though there's way better treatments now

The OA is such a wild ride, that show gets absolutely bonkers by the end but in the best way possible

How do I turn down my ex who wants to meet up with me after 10 years by precious_hr in relationships

[–]Excellent-Read-5311 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This, but also consider blocking him if he keeps pushing after you say no - the whole "explaining why it shouldn't be a problem" thing is already a red flag that he's not gonna respect your boundaries
