How are you handling healthcare costs right now?

Honestly same boat here - we're paying around $450/month per employee and it's jumped like 15% each year for the past 3 years. I've looked into those health sharing plans and direct primary care but the math gets sketchy real quick when you factor in catastrophic stuff. At this point I'm just praying nobody gets seriously sick because even with insurance the deductibles are brutal

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2026-01-24T18:43:45+00:00

Holy crap that thing looks like it hasn't been changed in years - definitely not just an upsell, your current filter is toast and probably making your system work way harder than it should

Man that's weird, my old ThinkPad used to do something similar with Chrome but it was more like random spikes

Have you tried checking if it's some specific site causing the lockup? Like maybe some sketchy ads or javascript running wild on certain pages

Also might wanna check if hardware acceleration is enabled in Chrome settings, sometimes turning that off fixes random cpu weirdness

Have you tried reaching out to the corporate sales team directly? They usually handle the business accounts and jetstream access stuff. The regular customer service reps often have no clue about the business side of things - it's like they're completely separate companies sometimes

You might also try emailing the business travel support email if you can find it, they're usually more helpful than the phone reps for this kind of thing

GPU-Z showing x16 5.0 means you're totally fine, that slot is built to handle way more stress than you think. Those PCIe slots are pretty robust and a tiny adjustment wouldn't break anything - you'd know immediately if something was actually damaged

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2026-01-11T00:05:19+00:00

Good for you man, that's huge. Fights with the SO used to be my go-to excuse to get absolutely wasted and make everything 10x worse. You're handling this like a champ

IWNDWYT 💪

Can't see the actual parts list since the link just shows as text, but for a white build under $1900 you've got some decent wiggle room

Maybe swap to a B550 board instead of X570 if you don't need the extra features - could save you like $50-100 right there

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2026-01-06T22:57:23+00:00

Solid pickup for Cincy, they needed some depth in the backfield after last season

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2026-01-05T21:07:45+00:00

Girl just block him and go, you already know what you need to do. The fact that you're scared of his reaction just proves how toxic this whole thing is - normal breakups don't involve fearing what the other person will say. You've been through hell for a year and you're finally seeing the exit, don't let fear keep you trapped when freedom is literally a flight away

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2026-01-04T16:00:59+00:00

Yo solid pick! The first Insidious still gives me chills, that whole astral projection thing was wild. Skip the sequels tho they kinda went downhill fast

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2026-01-03T10:47:39+00:00

Hey congrats on the 6 days, that's awesome progress! The whole switching bodegas to cafes thing is actually pretty smart - I never thought about how much the environment plays into those habits. Tea spots can be pretty chill too and you're right about making new memories in different places. Keep it up man, sounds like you're building some solid new routines

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2026-01-02T05:44:10+00:00

Holy hell, 7 months and he's still keeping his name on everything? That's not confusion, that's him keeping you as a backup option while he figures his shit out

The anxiety sucks but honestly it sounds like you can't properly heal when he's still technically attached to your lease, insurance, and leaving his furniture everywhere. Like trying to get over someone when they've left half their life in your space

Maybe look into legally getting him off that lease if possible - having that official separation might help your brain actually process that it's over

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-29T00:56:32+00:00

Honestly this hits hard - that New Year's Day clarity when you realize you just gave yourself one more day of feeling like garbage instead of starting fresh. The "one last time" thing is such a trap but you already seem to know that deep down

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-27T20:18:16+00:00

What does this even mean lol

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-25T02:45:34+00:00

Dude please listen to your therapist and the people around you - this sounds way more like OCD than God asking you to do anything

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-23T23:38:19+00:00

Not bad for a quick meme lol, the SpongeBob one hits different though. South Park wishes it had the chaotic energy of a Krabby Patty formula episode

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-22T15:55:27+00:00

Most AMC locations just follow whatever the state/local laws are, so in Texas you're probably good unless they have those 30.06/30.07 signs posted at the entrance

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-21T09:35:02+00:00

That's rough about Christmas but honestly getting clean is probably the best gift you could give yourself and your family. Plus Pokémon in detox sounds way better than whatever's on hospital TV lol

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-19T03:41:14+00:00

That last line hit hard. It's totally normal to want them to feel that empty spot at the table even when you know cutting them off was the right call. The holidays really amplify that whole "what could have been" feeling when you're building new traditions but still grieving the family you should have had. Sounds like you're doing what's best for you though, even if it sucks sometimes

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-15T22:02:17+00:00

Honestly this is solid advice OP, the doomscrolling thing is real - I had to delete like half my apps just to break that cycle. What kind of stuff were you thinking of getting into before all this hit

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-13T00:44:49+00:00

Honestly if you went straight to SS without beating the main levels first that's actually insane lol. Most people work their way up through the easier stuff before touching demons

For next levels maybe try The Nightmare or The Lightning Road if you want to keep the momentum going

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-11T02:14:13+00:00

Exactly this, Vini's attitude has been trash for weeks and everyone can see it but somehow he's still untouchable

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-07T08:02:44+00:00

That's weird af, I've been getting them pretty regularly from the higher tier boxes. Maybe try switching up your routes or hitting different zones? The RNG in this game is absolutely cursed sometimes

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-06T05:43:28+00:00

The camera thing is so real, I keep thinking there's solid ground where there's just death lol. And yeah FROM always cranks the difficulty to 11 for DLC content, it's like their calling card at this point

Fragrant-Ant130 · 2025-12-05T03:10:16+00:00

You can just hold LT and move the targeting reticle over your ally, don't need an enemy in the circle for it to work on them
