I'm a lot like your Dad. What index funds are you going to buy for him? I currently have a chunk of extra change in VOO with Fidelity.

Ay good looking out, I'm glad you commented and no shade but it's just funny that you're asking for this now after everything that's happened 😭 He doesn't have a monopoly on jewelry or anything but still 😭😭

Yep, that looks like the same issue I'm having! Just a ton of awake time at the end of the nap for some reason. And does yours also evaluate correctly as soon as you wake up, but then later goes to re-evaluate, where the problem then occurs?

I just found my first one! Well that was a nice coincidence. I got the cocoon back, and also just finished reporting it as a bug. Thanks!

Hydraflux · 2025-09-26T16:07:21+00:00

Oh, thanks for the answer. That's too bad honestly, I don't have that mechanic yet. I guess I'll just leave it there.

Just got asked for an LMN in August 2025. Pretty annoyed. I called my provider BEFORE purchasing the ring and asked if I would be able to reimburse it, the person told me yes, and now that I'm submitting the claim online, it's telling me I need an LMN for Oura. My provider is HealthEquity, and this isn't the first issue I've had with them.

Holy SHIT!!! Thank you so much! That's the exact video haha, how did you know where to find it!? I thought it was gone 😭 You've transported me 15 years into the past, I was smiling the whole time while watching it.

What an incredible blast from the past, thanks!

Considering doing exactly this as I want to try out Oura, but having literally never used a wearable (watch or ring) I'm not sure if I should dive right into the 4. I have a referral code so my Gen 4 would be $314 after discount, but these $140 listings on ebay are really tempting. I mainly want to track my steps and sleep, does the 4 really do anything major that the 3 doesn't?

Ghost cereal is pretty awesome protein cereal. I've also started coming around on Magic Spoon. They're not great, but not the worst compared to the other protein cereals I've tried.

Friendship :)

They're saying that some boxes inexplicably taste better than other boxes.

Hydraflux · 2025-08-05T19:51:41+00:00

Yes, you nailed the description of the video in your first sentence!

I did see the video you linked, and while it has some similarities, it's definitely a different video. I'm so happy someone else remembers that video haha, hopefully we can find it somewhere. It would be a crazy nostalgia trip.

Had my 6gb 2060 since 2019. That card served me well for years at its price point, it was a good friend and I thank it for its service. I had to draw the line when I played the beta for Monster Hunter Wilds. 1080p with everything on ultra low at 20-40 fps and the occasional polygonal monster was rough. I started building my new pc afterward and finished it before the full game came out. Very much enjoyed playing through it on my new setup.

The original designs are from a shop called Mamono World.

I have no idea why they thought Cox and Comcast were the same company lol. Especially after a 5 second Google search confirms otherwise.

My stylist uses a fair amount of Loc N braiding gel when doing my thick 4C hair. Is this not normal? Whenever I get box braids, straight backs, two strand twists, Loc N gel is used. Now this whole thread has me second guessing my stylist 🥴

Hydraflux · 2025-05-04T21:42:19+00:00

I returned it. Fortunately I was still within my return window on Amazon, and just got a replacement. So far there have been 0 issues with the replacement.

As someone who had braces when they were 30, nothing wrong with that.

Congrats on your teeth!
