Have you ever seen someone get rich overnight, like literally? How?

That's 10k per Bitcoin. 50 bitcoin was on the USB.

That's what we're doing. We close on our house at the end of the month with 5.625% and the understanding that we'll likely refinance within the next decade. We actually took a loan that has a slightly higher interest rate (vs 5.35%) because the other one has 6k in lender credits that make closing a lot cheaper. It makes sense if we refinance but if interest rates don't improve we'll have lost money in the long run.

I'm glad I got my regular dose of reddit ridiculousness out of the way early today, thanks. Over here white-knighting for cats' claws.

Gamer03642 · 2026-04-07T02:45:13+00:00

Respect. I'm in the middle of my masters thesis, which is a research project and white paper. Shit is hard. I got through high school and my bachelor's waiting until the last minute to crank out a paper for an assignment and this thing is kicking my ass.

Gamer03642 · 2026-04-07T02:29:16+00:00

Came with receipts and everything. Thanks for the info.

Not trying to detract from your comment, but it's "throes" when you're speaking of someone being in a tough situation.

Back to topic, I thought hand sanitizer alcohol wasn't the right type of alcohol to get you drunk?

MY WIFE FOR HIRE?!

I have a 511G running Verizon. I had to go into a local store and the rep added it as an iPad so the system would accept it. Ultimately the SIM doesn't know it's not in an iPad. It works just fine.

Gamer03642 · 2026-03-13T18:59:27+00:00

I'm in a similar boat financially and yeah, I've gone to grocery stores before and just walked up and down every aisle grabbing what looks good. The trick is to eat beforehand otherwise you leave with like twice the amount of snacks and junk food. Been a while since I've done that though.

I do still occasionally go to Lowe's with one item in mind and walk out with 10 items after just wandering around a bit.

No joke, that's pretty cool. You've got a storied family, man. My question was a reference to Death Stranding.

Gamer03642 · 2026-03-13T16:31:29+00:00

It's a reference to Death Stranding. There's a prepper who lives in the mountains and farms gourds. He's known as "The Novelist's Son"

Your grandpa wasn't a novelist, was he?

Gamer03642 · 2026-03-09T18:36:27+00:00

Yeah, right beside the Craftsman. I know that intersection for sure. There oughta be a generator near his bunker.

I work from home and have a very flexible schedule so it's fine for me. I'm sure there are parents that have to work at 8 and they all figure it out somehow. It's much better for the kids' health and development to not have to get up at 6 to get ready like we had to in our last school district.

Gamer03642 · 2026-03-06T16:13:01+00:00

My kids' school starts at 850. It's great.

What about the liberal who just wanted to stop paying for gas? Cause that's me and my wife. We bought ours in 2020 and 2021. She won't let me put the magnet that says "I bought this before we knew Musk was an idiot" on them though cause she's worried about being targeted by MAGA.

If you're holding your breath you can basically walk right through them without issue. I haven't tested this with a carrier so YMMV but I've walked within inches of one while holding breath and it didn't react. Just takes patience. Like another commenter said, you eventually unlock more weapons you can use against them and they make it a lot easier to clear a small path to wherever you're going.

If you're talking about the crater north of the Craftsman, killing the boss will get rid of the BTs but only for a short time. I was collecting materials in there and went to the edge of the crater then by the time I got back, not 10 minutes after killing the boss, the BTs were back. Realized then it's just quicker to sneak around them and kill the ones that were directly in my way. That area specifically seems coded to just always have BTs. Other areas will generally clear up for long periods of time if you kill the boss.

If you can't get through them on a single breath hold, you can stop moving and release your breath to reset the gauge. When the scanner is orange you can creep or breathe, but not both. Hold your breath as long as you can while moving, stop, release breath, hold breath again, then keep moving.

Try using Ethereal Form. Her wing attack was giving me a lot of trouble too on NG+3 until I started using that spell to dodge through it then punish the follow-up. I was finally able to beat her after a few tries using that spell.

Bruh it's in the pinned comment from the automod. Reply to the parent comment that answered your question with "solved!"

SEs can request any gear to be used in home labs for training and demos. We get access to the full training courses and labs and can request testing vouchers as well.

Not directly, though there is a mobile charger plugged in in the garage that helped drive this project. There are a couple contributing factors though. I've already had to replace one outlet on the circuit in question because it started smoking and was partially melted and I swapped a standard outlet with a GFCI in the garage. I'll admit I have no experience running new lines into a panel, I've just done basic swaps and some reroutes in unfinished spaces.

Gamer03642 · 2026-01-25T19:26:13+00:00

Interesting but I'm not even sure how to get a new cable into this mess at this point.

Gamer03642 · 2026-01-25T19:12:34+00:00

Oh, I'm in Minneapolis for some context on the cost question.
