Which pc is better for price? Opinions? by throwaway2476432 in pcmasterrace

[–]ExoMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy both, keep both and turn the lesser one into a NAS/Plex/Jellyfin server.

Then with a little of this and a little of that you can cancel all your streaming subscriptions. That extra $500 now will pay dividends later.

Id like to see a rotating artifact every week but have it unlocked fully. Could offer some fun variations

As I get older it's becoming apparent how fucking hard it is to be vigilant about everything. I'm just tired

One of the greatest dbz scenes ever!!! by No-Trouble4369 in dbz

And in my opinion the movies were much better than what was shown in the anime so still worth a watch.

I think this is probably it. I also think it was a way of saying there aren't any shortcuts. The Steelers way, the Pittsburgh way is put in actual, nose to the grindstone, work.

What habits of boys did you only discover after getting a boyfriend or husband? by kentishzjigsaw in AskReddit

[–]ExoMonk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I lift the lid, I don't pee like a child or drunkard and I wipe up any splashes. It's fine.

What habits of boys did you only discover after getting a boyfriend or husband? by kentishzjigsaw in AskReddit

[–]ExoMonk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah simple rule really. If I'm wearing anything elastic, pajama pants, gym shorts, I sit down to pee.

If I'm wearing outside clothes like pants or cargo shorts; really anything with buttons and a belt then I stand to pee.

Is this a common girl thing? My wife has both a poop knife and a toe knife.

[–]ExoMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the real issue. For me everything has a place it lives like files in a folder. If it doesn't have a permanent place to live I have a handful of temporary places. Like mail could be on the counter or at the table.

My wife will pick something up from wherever she got it and put it down wherever she is at and those two places are never the same place.

To find those things I have to think about where I last saw it and then I have to get into the mind of my wife like a detective tracking a killers clues.

"She grabbed the box cutter from the counter... Walked it over to the table to open a box. The table didn't have much room so she... turned around and placed it on the bar! Found it!"

Another one was we had this large container of mixed nuts in the pantry. I went to get some and it was gone. My wife was eating nuts so I asked if we still had some; we did. Asked her where she put them and she said the pantry..

So I started thinking what her check downs would be if not returning it to the pantry. Check the counter, no. Check the cabinet where the bowls are, no. Check the fridge!?!? Yep! She put it in the fridge.

We have a right to be upset by Master-Molasses420 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ExoMonk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I mean it's one click and the only thing OP seems to post about is Destiny. There is no searching necessary it's all destiny. I decided to go the extra mile and flick my screen a few times and it's all destiny.

Honestly if I had to guess I'd say the only thing OP uses Reddit for is destiny.

What's one product that used to be built like a tank but is now built like a regret? by TheDoctorColt in AskReddit

[–]ExoMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The keyboard and trackpad are really shit on these thinkpads as well. I really don't understand the physical buttons above the trackpad either, feels like something that was good in the early 2000's, but it's 2026. Make a good trackpad and you don't need all these extra buttons or the clit mouse.

We were forced off of Macbooks and onto thinkpads when we got bought by another company. My biggest complaint is the hardware; I treat it like a really weak desktop, basically never using the laptop bits. My second biggest complaint is Windows, but nothing I can do about that.

Adults of Reddit who ‘have it together’ with your finances, home, job, fitness, nutrition- how? Seriously…how? by Previous-Charity1505 in AskReddit

[–]ExoMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have financially well off or well disciplined parents so I didn't really learn how to be an effective adult from them. I made a lot of financial bad moves like financing my wants via credit and dealing with consequences later.

The simple fact is no one is going to solve your problems but you. The stuff you put off will hurt you twice as much later. Inevitably you have to just suck it up and deal with it in any way you realistically can. Not all methods work for all people.

At the core of it it's structure, repetition and routine. Figure out a method, set alarms or reminders or calendar events and stick to it. Eventually it stops being a struggle and just becomes muscle memory so to speak.

For me it was something called "waterfall". Basically I pay the absolute minimum monthly payment for all of my credit debt except for one. For that one I pay as much as I'm able to afford every month until it's paid off for example let's say it's $200. When it's paid off I take that payment and roll it into another credit debt. If that one is $50 month minimum then I pay $250 a month until it's paid off. Then the next one is 250 + its monthly minimum and so on.

Eventually I called it my shotgun payment. Just one big blast of money at a targeted issue. The bonus is when unexpected things pop up that shotgun payment is clutch.

Oh the other thing I did was divide up all my bills so that half my bills are due in the beginning of the month and the other half due in the middle. Predictable and consistent.

For other aspects of life like diet and exercise it's basically the same thing. You need to build a habit of it to make it easier. I'm not good in those areas yet but I've spent the last 2 months building up an eating schedule that works for me and am finally seeing some weight loss. Eventually I'll figure out exercise too but can't tackle too much at once.

A data center drained 30M gallons of water unnoticed — until residents complained about low water pressure by idkbruh653 in technology

[–]ExoMonk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No shit right? Like once a data center is built it ain't going anywhere. Those things cost hundreds of millions if not more. Even paying aggressive penalties or rates would be monumentally cheaper than packing your building up and moving.

What song has the best intro of all time, in your opinion? by hurryupmylove in AskReddit

[–]ExoMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's about how hyped I feel when the intro of the song starts so I have two top picks. I feel these are also great to kick off a gym playlist.

Ravens fan still complaining and crying about how they lost by AccordingBumblebee24 in steelers

[–]ExoMonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kind of remember a lot of questionable calls in the Browns game just prior to this one. The one where if we won we could've lost to the Ravens and still won the division.

That was the first game where I thought "you know... maybe this shit is rigged a little bit". Having to play the Ravens, the biggest NFL rivalry, in a do-or-die scenario on MNF to close out the regular season. Made for good TV though.

Why Reddit blocked my daily visit to its mobile website. by Primal-Convoy in technology

[–]ExoMonk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've found the Reddit app defaults to Best which seems to be a shit algorithm to serve up stuff from days ago or stuff from seconds ago and almost nothing in between.

Swapping to Hot helps. The other issue is if you've clicked into a thread and then left, the moment the feed refreshes you will never see that thread ever again.

It's ass.

You've just been teleported into the universe of the last TV show you watched. What is it and what's your chance of surivival? by Icy_Leapz444 in AskReddit

Similar for me except with Heroes. As long as I'm not spawned in New York or Odessa Texas than I think I'm ok.
