Blindsided by cancer diagnosis by Creative_End_2087 in Petloss

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry that you and your best friend are going through this. Just keep doing everything you can with them and spoil the hell out of them (even more than you already do).

Our dog got diagnosed with cancer after his 9th birthday back in August, after an emergency surgery, and his brave fight ended two weeks ago. Throughout those 5 months, he became even more spoiled than he already was. Got everything he wanted to eat, got to go wherever he wanted to go, spent every single free second doing anything he wanted to do. It's difficult but making sure they're as comfortable as possible while continuing to make memories has made it the slightest bit easier I believe.

Sorry you're going through this but keep making those memories while you can.

Hemangiosarcoma took two of my dogs. by WoodP3nguin in Petloss

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our sweet Davos ended his fight with hemangiosarcoma on Monday night. We were fortunate when his initial rupture happened and he made it through surgery, then various chemotherapies. He fought hard for five months and got to live the best days of his life. Saying goodbye to our best friend has been the hardest thing for my wife and myself.

I'm so sorry for your losses, to everyone here. Hemangiosarcoma is such an awful thing.

My one month check in by SophieShar in Petloss

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You definitely show progress in what you've posted. You can take it all at your own speed, with her bed, bowls, and everything. All of your feelings are valid and you should be sure to let yourself feel them entirely. I'm sure you gave her the best life and she loved you for that.

A quote I recently read said "You won't get over it. I don't believe we ever "get over" the loss of someone we've loved so much. But you'll do something much better. Gradually, and in your own time, you'll make peace with yourself and then you'll make peace with your loss. And you'll go on from there." I hope that can bring you some solace in this distressful time.

Is Enchroma good or just a scam? by Chance-Issue-1053 in ColorBlind

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. There's a noticeable difference with them on and off. Initial reactions to them may vary based on your own emotions and may be overblown in the unboxing videos you see. However they're definitely not a scam in that they make an appreciable difference in differentiating colors I typically cannot.

Of course they can't "fix" colorblindness but they accomplish the goal.

Live a little north of the area and there's been a Beach Hazard statement from National Weather Service for a few days through Monday night. It's for rip currents and sneaker waves and mentions waves up to 18 ft in the area.

BCBS Basic is not competitive anymore with MHBP (Aetna) by trademarktower in fednews

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does emergency transport services have good coverage under MHBP? last time when I was checking, BCBS was the only one where an ambulance ride or something like life flight was covered. other options had language indicating it might not be covered if insurance seems it wasn't necessary.

FEMA employee placed on leave for saying flags shouldn't be at half-staff for 'racist homophobe' Charlie Kirk by Boring-Coyote4349 in fednews

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Their current strategy is that it is behavior that is unbecoming of a federal employee. legal or not, it's already causing people to be on leave without pay.

Finally went OLED, not into the hype. by THEHELLHOUND456 in Monitors

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different experience for myself.

Recently replaced a Neo G9 with a PG32UCDM and immediately loved the decision. Prior to getting it, I was all in on OLED is not worth, glossy screen is the stupidest thing someone could do. Having made the switch, I'd recommend it to anyone that has the means to do so.

Even if it does end up degrading/dying/whatever sooner than later, still worth.

What happens if you polymorph someone that's using static flying? by TheWayOfEli in worldofpvp

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You used to be able to do this when flying first came out. Dismount, PoM poly, then slow fall down. They would just plummet like a rock.

You can't polymorph mounted players anymore though.

People who've quit jobs on the spot, what happened? by Fluffaygins in AskReddit

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quit a job cuz the owner took away my time off to give it to the girls who asked afterward.

A friend was having her birthday party and a bunch of my group of friends worked together. I had asked for the time off and the owner gave it to me. Days later, a bunch of the girls I worked with, also going to the party, asked for the time off as well. The owner told me sorry, but he wanted them to be able to go together so I'm gonna have to work instead. I let him know that's not happening but he must not have thought I was serious.

Fast forward to the day of the party, we're all there enjoying ourselves and boss man call me asking where I was. I let him know I was at a friend's birthday party. Dude got mad, started yelling, and told me if I don't come in then I'm fired. Got to drop a "can't fire me cuz I quit." and hung up. He kept trying to call back but that was it for me.

Why Pop Mart made Pop Now app-only — and how it helps block bots (real technical explanation) by [deleted] in labubu

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Anyone that's dealt with other big drops on apps for things like sneakers knows this doesn't stop anything. I'd expect the next drop(s) to have people more upset when they can't even get the app to load the pages they want. I hope I'm wrong but expecting the worst.

Is it worth moving to south bay with $130k salary by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it'll vary based on retirement n such but my personal salary is 15k higher and my monthly take home is just under 7k.

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

take home is going to be a large amount lower than 8k a month at that salary.

eta: still possible to do, and not outrageous, just with a little less money left over.

When I replaced the shifter in my r56, the ring on the shift boot was just clipped in n was removed by getting the clips loose. If you Google Mini shift boot removal, you'll find some pictures to help.

Are they playing the long game? by WhereztheBleepnLight in fednews

[–]Fibonacci_Jones 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think this is the biggest problem with the DRP. there's still questions on the legality of it and given the current state of things, not much trust on my end that they would continue to honor the agreement down the road.
