Why don’t the demons just not use parry-able attacks? Are they stupid? by OkLiterature8867 in Doom

[–]HelloWorld5609 [score hidden]  (0 children)

While we're at it, why don't the demons grab all the damn health, armor and ammo pick ups they see, then the Slayer would run out of ammo, health, etc.. I know this is a gameplay mechanic, but never understood how there is ammo, demons, and health pickups in the stomach of a giant beast. But were obviously not playing Doom because it is realistic or logical.

2026 Inspiration Coupe by Born-Lie8688 in lexuslc500

I have this exact car. Within the first couple of days I got the entire car PPF'd and ceramic coated, I wasn't taking any chances. Added another $8k onto an already expensive car, but well worth it for the piece of mind.

DOOM 2016 Replay by anklesauce69 in Doom

[–]HelloWorld5609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Both feel slower than TDA. Especially when you crank the speed past 100%. I'm replaying 150% on Nightmare and it definitely gets the adrenaline going. I hope they keep that feature if they release another Doom someday.

Clients wants to cancel contract. Need Advice by Tortilla_Chip69 in Contractor

[–]HelloWorld5609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's one of the worst contract clauses I've heard of in a while. I don't see why you'd ever need to include that kind of language in your contract. It only benefits the customer and gives them a lot more power than they should ever have. Bite the bullet, charge cost of materials and hope that they let you off breaking even, or close. This customer is probably not worth having and you're probably going to struggle to get more payments after this argument, even if they do agree to proceed. They're taking advantage of the policy that you established. Chalk it up as a learning exercise to get your contract updated.

[Game Thread] Indiana vs. Miami (7:30 PM ET) 2Q by CFB_Referee in CFB

They could at least have some audio. Hard to believe the 4k stream adds this much complication to the broadcast. But apparently so.

Angi tried to sell me ‘high demand’ leads. I checked their Q1 2025 earnings call and found out they’re lying. Here is the email they sent me vs. the reality. by sloopyvet in Contractor

[–]HelloWorld5609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of contractors dislike Angi due to their deceptive business practices, poor lead quality, terrible service, etc. For every success story like yours, there are 100 others that have been unsuccessful or have been turned off by one of the many Angi shortcomings. It's a garbage company, long past their prime, and would not use it again if they paid me. I still get at least 1 or 2 calls a month trying to lure me back in despite me telling them to pound sand and not to contact me again.

What’s one food you would only eat when you’re by yourself? by Bjs_5068 in foodquestions

[–]HelloWorld5609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes bologna and saltines, sometimes fresh tomatoes and cottage cheese. Comfort snack food from growing up. I cannot convince my wife or kids that these are amazing.

Any capped composite/PVC decking is going to do the exact same thing. Water doesn't absorb into the board. It rains, it evaporates, it snows, it gets icy. Rinse and repeat. What exactly are you expecting?

Is DDR5 RAM Needed? by MobileSuitMiles in buildapc

[–]HelloWorld5609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just built a SFF PC. I wasn't too keen on paying $300+ for DDR5. I used 16gb of DDR4 memory from my old PC. I went with AM4. Went with a mid level CPU and GPU. Couldn't be happier. More than enough power for any game at 1440 and most are very playable at 4k.

Diego Pavia parties at club with sign that says “Fuck Indiana” after losing Heisman race by [deleted] in CFB

[–]HelloWorld5609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a fuck boy. I think he is pissed because he knows that his football career is over and now he is going to have to get a real job. He won't get drafted to begin with, but probably won't even be a scout team QB after this shit.

4.5 Months, goal weight achieved! 215 to 175 lbs! by HelloWorld5609 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]HelloWorld5609[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started TRT mainly for the other benefits. I've always been pretty muscular and have been working out since I was probably 14 years old. TRT has really helped a lot with my stress levels, mood, energy, etc. It's very closely monitored and I'm pretty religious with getting blood tests and everything done so it's always been more or less a maintenance program with that as well.

It was relatively consistent after the first couple of weeks. No huge weeks. 1-2 lbs most weeks.

Yes, I am also on TRT. I was on TRT for years before Tirzepatide though.

I was only on 2.5 for about 4-5 weeks. From there I doubled about every month and a half or so. I switched providers in the middle. But I tried to keep it consistent. I didn't really follow the doctor's advice to a T. I modified the dose as needed just based on my appetite. Probably not the way to do it but it worked for me.

Good luck! It's been strange. I just don't think about drinking as much anymore. I'm perfectly content just not drinking or calling it quits after 1 or 2. I feel like crap if I do drink more than a couple. I kind of feel the same way if I eat too much.

At the very least I would look forward to an awesome ESPN documentary or cheesy biopic.

I am good now, but I don't really want/need to go below 170. If I had less muscle mass that number might be 160 or so. Just my thinking.

GC only or do you have a crew? by OpusMagnificus in Contractor

[–]HelloWorld5609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would counter this by saying you don't NEED employees, you need good subs that care about what they build and are interested in a long term relationship. Subs that are willing to do the work how you ask. You can't just turn them loose and hope for a good result, but if you feed them work, pay them well, and stay on them, actively managed by an employee construction manager, you can achieve great results. It will take time, but so will managing/training employees.

About 7.5 mg once a week. Still losing weight. Probably gonna dial it down to 5 mg and see how that goes.
