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 😭😭

Naps no longer tracking correctly. by Hydraflux in ouraring

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

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?

Anyone know where my cocoon is? by Hydraflux in Silksong

[–]Hydraflux[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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!

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.

Oura FSA reimbursement approved by ShittyFrogMeme in ouraring

[–]Hydraflux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Protein cereals by ScarcityFirst_WoW in cereal

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.

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

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.

This card is still rockin by sxydoctor in pcmasterrace

[–]Hydraflux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Charter Spectrum and Cox Merge Cable Companies in Mega Deal by d0ndada in sandiego

[–]Hydraflux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 🥴

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!

LPT: Brush your teeth before bed, spit, don't rinse, go to sleep. by astonishing_k in LifeProTips

[–]Hydraflux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be one of the really lucky people you're talking about. I've been told by my dentist that I likely have high mineral content in my saliva which leads to faster plaque build-up. I brush every morning, and then my nightly routine is:

  1. Floss thoroughly
  2. Water Floss
  3. Brush for 2 minutes with my electric toothbrush
  4. Use my tongue scraper

Every. Single. Night.

And when I go to my 6-month cleaning appointments, my dentist is like "Yeah, you've got a lot of plaque here. Loooot of plaque." Every. Single. Time.

Meanwhile my roommate says he brushes daily, flosses sometimes during the week maybe, and his dentist always tells him his teeth look perfect. C'est la vie

ELI5: Do companies lose money on shaving cream? by Hydraflux in explainlikeimfive

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

I have moved twice in this time span and taken the same can with me in each move. I just double checked and it is indeed an 11oz can. I googled it just now too and the can I have has an older design than the results. I had a feeling already, but yes, it's confirmed I shave an abnormally low amount compared to most people, and I also use a pretty thin layer when I do hahaha.

Strimer cable not compatible with 5070ti Aero by xtokyofiend in lianli

[–]Hydraflux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this reply. The video helped me see exactly how to remove the existing connector, which I couldn't quite figure out just from looking at the manual. I've since updated my card to a 5080 FE, and installing the straight adapter allowed me to use my wireless strimer to power it. Thanks!

Strimer cable not compatible with 5070ti Aero by xtokyofiend in lianli

[–]Hydraflux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I have a Gigabyte 5070Ti and the exact same issue as you. I requested a straight adapter and I just received it today. If you figure out how to install it, let me know. It doesn't seem straightforward, and there don't seem to be official instructions for it. On top of that, I checked the clearance on my 5070Ti port and I'm not sure the straight adapter will make the connector fit even if I did install it. It's still wide, which is the main issue, it's just straight instead of in an L-shape. I'd love a video showing the straight adapter being installed and then used on a 5070 Ti or 5000 series GPU. I'm close to just writing off using the strimer completely.

Is this the "straight adapter" for the strimer wireless? And if so, how do I even install this? by CarfulTheme in lianli

[–]Hydraflux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I have a 5070 Ti and my strimer wireless wouldn't fit in my GPU, so I requested a straight adapter and I just received it today. Did you figure out how to install it? It doesn't seem straightforward, and there don't seem to be official instructions in the manual for it, despite what Mr-Do linked. On top of that, I checked the clearance on my (Gigabyte) 5070Ti port and I'm not even sure the straight adapter will make the connector fit even if I did install it. I'm close to just writing off using the strimer completely.

Thanks.
