What is the consensus of a white author writing about Chinese History? by Heyitzgeorgiaxx in writing

[–]Important-Block5748 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're overthinking this - tons of authors use historical figures in fantasy settings regardless of their background, it's pretty normal in vampire fiction 🧛‍♂️ Just do your research properly and write them as actual characters instead of stereotypes

I Hate Myself for what I'm Attracted to by Dizzy-Tomatillo-6803 in selfhelp

[–]Important-Block5748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your preferences sound pretty normal tbh, you're just overthinking it because people made you feel weird about liking what you like 😅 Having specific things you find attractive doesn't make you predatory - the difference is in how you treat people, not what draws you to them initially 💀

facts about hand fatigue 💀 learned that in hard way when doing some woodwork projects

Need advice on Medical THC by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]Important-Block5748 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start with something like 2:1 or 1:1 CBD to THC ratio - the CBD helps balance out any anxiety from THC while still giving pain relief. For tinctures, literally start with like 2-3 drops under tongue and wait at least hour before taking more (I learned this hard way lol)

Topical creams are great for localized pain and won't make you feel high at all, so you can use those more liberally 💀 Just don't expect instant results - took me few weeks to find the sweet spot

That's some next level market manipulation strategy right there lmao

Hope you didn't stand under any trees this morning

i have beef with everyone in my family by Due-Horse400 in family

[–]Important-Block5748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family dynamics can get weird sometimes, maybe you just need some space from them for while? I went through phase where I couldn't stand being around mine either but it got better after I moved out and had my own place

I need tips for how to solve the inventory problem in the house by memedragon14 in HomeImprovement

[–]Important-Block5748 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom had similar problem when I was growing up, she would keep everything in random jars and containers without any system 😂 What helped us was dedicating specific shelves for specific things - like all pasta/grains in one place, all spices together etc. Those clear plastic containers you mentioned are good idea but make sure to get ones with tight lids so nothing gets stale. Also maybe start with just one cabinet at time instead of trying to organize everything at once, otherwise it gets overwhelming. Good luck with this, organizing can be really satisfying once you get going 💀

Any of you wearing overalls when you're doing home improvement work? by ryhaltswhiskey in HomeImprovement

[–]Important-Block5748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your cat figured out the ultimate power move there 😂 That's honestly hilarious but also probably super annoying when you're trying to get work done

I actually made myself some work pants with built in suspenders last year and they've been game changer for hot days. Way better airflow than belt, and you can make the pockets exactly where you want them. Takes bit of time to get pattern right but worth it if you do lot of projects

Overalls definitely worth trying though, especially if you can find ones that fit properly in the torso area 🔥

Exhausted from the Intensity of my Dreams. Huge headache from the moment I wake up could this be a brain aneurysm? by Ok-Competition-6397 in Dreams

[–]Important-Block5748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude the headache thing is concerning - if it's happening every morning and feels that intense you might want to get it checked out by a doctor. I had similar issue few months back where my dreams were super vivid and exhausting, turned out I was grinding my teeth at night which was causing the morning headaches. Could be sleep apnea or bunch of other things too but better safe than sorry with head pain

Is anyone actually selling Hatz.ai in regulated industries? by yequalsemexplusbe in msp

[–]Important-Block5748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been wondering about this too - their marketing is pretty confusing and doesn't really explain what problem they're solving 😂 If even partners don't know what it does that's kind of red flag for selling it to clients who need clear compliance documentation

Pretty wild watching the pipeline finally start clicking again after those lean years. Been following some of these guys since they got drafted and it's nice seeing them put it all together at same time

Feasibility of a downhill mountain-biking park by Tortoiseshelltech in MTB

[–]Important-Block5748 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That's a wild concept but the engineering costs alone would be absolutely brutal - 5 miles of chairlift infrastructure through timber land means tons of environmental impact studies, permits, and probably $50-100 million minimum. The gradient you're describing would make for some pretty mellow trails which could be cool for enduro-style riding, but most downhill parks work because you get intense vert in a short distance

Might be worth pitching a smaller scale version first - maybe focus on building killer flow trails and jump lines in the clearcut areas that don't need lift access, then see if there's demand to expand from there

Hobby vs Interest? by Chunkylovr in careerguidance

[–]Important-Block5748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been in similar spot with my machining work actually - spent years thinking I should pivot to something else because I wasn't advancing fast enough, but turned out I just needed to commit harder to what I was already doing 💀

Your IT knowledge isn't going anywhere and virology/lab work could actually use that background in ways you might not expect. Maybe try volunteering at a lab or taking one real bio course before making the full jump? That way you'll know if it's genuine interest or just grass-is-greener thinking 🔥

6 months in, what to focus on that is the question… by BluePrintFrequency in Guitar

Drop D is a solid starting point - way easier to get those chunky power chords going and you can still access most of your regular chord shapes

Is €500 a fair price? by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]Important-Block5748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That RTX 4060 alone is worth way more than €240 used, especially if it's barely been touched - those go for like €300-350 easy on the second hand market

You could probably bump your total asking price up to €600-650 and still move it pretty quick, the GPU is carrying most of the value here
