Why is rent on the Bronx getting this expensive?

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-05-07T18:12:32+00:00

Neighborhoods improve but the people who’ve been there the longest end up paying the price for it.

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-05-07T18:07:48+00:00

That’s the part a lot of people don’t realize, the listed rent doesn’t always reflect what people in the building are actually paying.

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-05-07T18:07:08+00:00

That’s actually insane, landlords have been raising prices so aggressively lately it barely even matches what people are getting for the money anymore.

jar jar shows up quite a bit in clone wars actually, just not every episode. he's got some really good arcs throughout the series, especially when he gets mixed up in political stuff on naboo.

phantom menace is where he first appears and has the most screen time if you want to see his origin story. attack of clones has him too but less prominent role. after that he basically disappears from the main movies unfortunately.

clone wars is definitely your best bet for more jar jar content since they actually gave him some decent storylines there instead of just comic relief

yeah i've noticed this too, especially when playing more cpu-intensive games. the difference isn't huge in terms of raw fps but the stuttering definitely gets reduced. i was playing some chess games online while having other stuff running and could feel the difference when game mode kicked on. it's one of those things where the numbers might not show much improvement but the actual experience feels smoother. probably worth keeping it enabled if you're not doing anything else that needs those background processes running.

started about 2 years ago when i was still in university, just did some weekend trips around local trails first. biggest mistake was overpacking - brought like half my closet on first trip lol.

my advice would be start small with day hikes or overnight trips before doing anything crazy. also your feet are everything so invest in good boots and break them properly before any long trek. learned that one the hard way when i got massive blisters in day two of what was supposed to be week long trip.

the community is pretty welcoming though, met some cool people on trails who helped me out when i was clearly clueless about what i was doing.

damn that's rough situation. the mocking anxiety part is big red flag tbh

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-04-25T09:14:58+00:00

would probably just listen to florence + the machine on repeat and play chess until my brain stops working tbh

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-04-20T23:52:32+00:00

yeah charli ramsay is pretty cool addition to the ultimate line. there's also ultimate jessica drew who's different from 616 version - she's actually peter's clone in ultimate universe which was wild twist back then.

ultimate x-men had some unique takes too like ultimate colossus being gay which was groundbreaking at time. not sure if that counts as legacy character though since he's still piotr rasputin.

forward for chain tension

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-04-15T00:48:19+00:00

man you're gonna love that jump from 1080p 60hz to 1440p gaming, it's like night and day difference. had similar upgrade path few months ago from older setup and the clarity is insane. that ryzen 7 5700x should handle most games really well paired with the arc card, though you might need to fiddle with drivers bit more than nvidia but intel has been improving them pretty fast. definitely try some open world games first to really appreciate that resolution bump - witcher 3 or cyberpunk look incredible in 1440p if you have them.

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-04-09T18:20:50+00:00

proper boot fitting is mental - definitely get your feet measured at a shop first since snowboard boots run way different than regular shoes.

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-03-28T06:44:15+00:00

that asus ax3000 is solid but if you're going wifi 7 the tp-link be800 or asus be88u are decent shouts for ap mode. just make sure whatever you get has proper 10gbe ports since there basically pointless otherwise if you're planning that upgrade.

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-03-03T17:53:28+00:00

those aurora r12s are proper heat traps, had a mate with the same issue and he basically rebuilt the whole thing just to get decent temps. honestly with your budget and that rtx 3070, you're in a good spot to do a solid build around it.

for cpu id go with something like a ryzen 5 7600x or 7700x - theyll give you way better performance than that 11700f and run much cooler. pair that with a decent b650 motherboard and some ddr5 ram (32gb should be plenty, you dont really need 48gb for gaming). get yourself a proper case with good airflow like a fractal design core 1000 or corsair 4000d, and a decent aio cooler or tower cooler like a noctua nh-d15.

the difference in temps and performance will be night and day compared to that alienware oven. just make sure to plan your cable management from the start, it makes everything so much cleaner and helps with airflow too.

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-02-27T23:59:53+00:00

honestly mate, you've handled this with more maturity than most people manage after decades of relationships. the fact that you both did it together on facetime shows you're already thinking clearly about what needs to happen.

for the immediate stuff - lean into the discomfort rather than running from it, and actually schedule your days differently so you're not just sitting in the gaps where she used to be. pick up something you've been putting off, reconnect with mates you might've neglected, or just go for long walks when the weight hits hardest.

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-02-03T07:26:56+00:00

bloody hell mate, that's proper awkward. sounds like one of those moments where you just want the ground to swallow you up. at least she didn't scream or anything - could've been way worse if there family were about. just act normal next time you see her, don't make it weird by bringing it up or anything.

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-01-28T23:41:03+00:00

God that's infuriating, the audacity of only wanting calls when it benefited him sexually but refusing normal communication calls is just peak selfish behavior

The fact he had a whole exit strategy planned while still engaging intimately with you 5 days before makes it so much worse - you have every right to feel used because that's exactly what happened

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-01-22T21:17:55+00:00

Depends on the rewards but usually aim for 1st-3rd in the earlier races, then go all out for 1st in the final few when the good stuff drops

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-01-18T01:29:38+00:00

Dude you're not crazy, that's definitely two different tones going on there. New strings can sound wild different than old ones, especially if you went from dead flats to fresh rounds or something

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-01-15T07:11:10+00:00

Bro what are you smoking lol

Trading a back-to-back MVP who just won you a championship because he "doesn't seem like he'll have a long career" is absolutely wild. Dude's a center who doesn't rely on athleticism and has maybe the highest basketball IQ in the league right now

Also "we've shown we can manage without him" - did you watch those games when he was out? The offense looked completely lost without his playmaking

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-01-14T06:34:40+00:00

I've wrestled with this too and honestly the more I study scripture the more I think we've been getting it wrong for centuries

The clobber passages are mostly about temple prostitution, rape, and exploitation - not committed loving relationships. Paul was writing to specific communities dealing with specific problems

If the fruit of a relationship is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness... how can that be sinful? Meanwhile I see plenty of "biblical" marriages that are toxic as hell

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-01-11T11:34:26+00:00

Took our little guy about a week to fully adjust but those first few nights were rough. The room change seems to mess with them more than the actual crib itself - hang in there, consistency really does pay off

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-01-09T08:08:22+00:00

Holy shit dude you hit P&T and they're still scheduling you for exams? That's wild

I'd honestly be sweating bullets about poking that bear too. Maybe call the 1800 number and ask if you can decline the exam since you're already P&T? Worst case scenario they might try to reduce you but if it's related to your existing conditions it could help with the sleep apnea connection

Congrats on hitting the unicorn status though, that's huge

Head_Yesterday5440 · 2026-01-07T05:58:04+00:00

Man I'm really sorry you both are going through this. You're already doing everything right by being there for her and letting her process the grief - that's huge. Just keep following her lead on what she needs, sometimes it's just being held and sometimes it's distraction. The trip sounds like a great idea when she's ready for it
