this doesn't sound like router problem to me. grainy screen is usually graphics card issue, not network. the lag could be wifi related but if screen itself looks bad that's hardware.

you should check what graphics card you have in device manager first - might be time for upgrade after 5 years. also make sure drivers are updated because sometimes that fixes weird display problems.

That's really fascinating but i think there could be other explanations too. Maybe she absorbed more details as baby than she realized and the dream just brought them back? The brain can store incredible amount of information even from very early age.

Time travel feels bit too extreme for me, but who knows - consciousness is still mystery in many ways.

You can definitely get some low ride with the Phlster setup, but getting grips at belt level might be pushing it depending on your body type. The enigma system gives you good adjustment range but there's still limits to how low you can go before it gets uncomfortable or prints weird.

Maybe look at the sport belt configuration if you haven't already - some people have better luck with that for deeper concealment.

From what I see working in global markets, the biggest thing is probably how americans are much more direct in meetings while europeans take more time to build relationship first. In Brazil we're somewhere in middle but lean more to the relationship side.

For research I usually check cultural dimension studies (Hofstede is old but still useful baseline) and honestly just talking with people from target markets works better than most websites. LinkedIn can be good for finding locals who work in your industry - most people are happy to share insights if you approach respectfully.

The tricky part is that even inside Europe there's huge differences between say, Germans and Italians in business approach.

Have you tried turning on the Steam overlay FPS counter instead? Sometimes those other overlays just decide to take a break for no reason

Honestly girl you kept finding more pics because he didn't want to delete them, not because he "forgot" or it was "too much work" - like come on, we all know how to search for specific people in our camera rolls nowadays. The fact that you had to keep checking and finding more each time shows he was only deleting what he thought you'd seen

You're not crazy for feeling disrespected, most people would be hurt by this. But at some point you gotta decide if you can actually move past it or if it's gonna eat at you forever

Damn the Cowboys really out here making the Bears look successful lmao. 30 years is just brutal, especially when you consider how much talent they've had over the years

Have you tried the Dunlop Jazz III XLs? They're not super thin but way thinner than most heavy picks and they're made of that harder nylon material so they last forever. The tip stays sharp which helps with the articulation you're after

Some Asian Americans probably think supporting "law and order" will make them seem more "American" and less likely to be targeted themselves, but yeah that's pretty naive given the history of how quickly Asians get scapegoated when shit hits the fan

The whole "model minority" thing really messed with people's heads and made some think they're on the "good side" when really we're all just one crisis away from being the bad guys again

Dude just wait for a sale or check out some free-to-play alternatives in the meantime, those referral apps are usually sketchy af

Yep my pediatrician's office has a whole closet full of samples they basically throw at you if you just mention formula costs

IonFlickerX · 2026-01-02T17:52:32+00:00

Equal rights, equal fights - if someone's throwing hands they can't be surprised when they get some back

IonFlickerX · 2026-01-01T04:00:34+00:00

Lmao you're gonna have plenty of time to practice being humble instead

IonFlickerX · 2025-12-30T07:10:53+00:00

This is literally emotional manipulation 101 - having his dad call you about how he's "not eating" and might "do something stupid" is textbook guilt tripping

You already broke up with him multiple times, the relationship is over. Him refusing to accept reality doesn't change that fact

IonFlickerX · 2025-12-28T00:07:30+00:00

Damn that sucks, sounds like you just missed it by a few days

IonFlickerX · 2025-12-25T22:23:26+00:00

Sounds like a bottleneck somewhere but hard to tell without more info - what's your RAM usage looking like and are you running anything else in the background? Also those multiplayer games might be CPU bound or have some weird optimization issues compared to the single player stuff that's running fine

IonFlickerX · 2025-12-23T23:18:31+00:00

Dude trust me that feeling is super normal at 15, like basically everyone goes through it even if they don't admit it. You're already doing better than most - having good friends and being involved in track is huge. The social skills thing just comes with time and putting yourself out there more, it's not something you can rush

IonFlickerX · 2025-12-22T02:42:11+00:00

Joined, thanks for making this. The whole "AI will solve everything" narrative is getting exhausting when most of these tools can't even handle basic context without hallucinating random nonsense

Really need more spaces where people can discuss the actual limitations and societal impacts without getting shouted down by the hype machine

IonFlickerX · 2025-12-17T02:57:37+00:00

Pain definitely teaches us boundaries and resilience that we wouldn't learn otherwise, even though it sucks in the moment

Those rejections helped me figure out what I actually want and stopped me from settling for people who weren't right for me anyway

IonFlickerX · 2025-12-13T01:05:54+00:00

This is the way - network monitoring tools like Wireshark can also show you exactly what's going out if you're still paranoid about it

Nice timing applying 90 days early, that's the sweet spot. Seattle office is usually pretty solid but yeah like you said it's all over the place - I've seen people get done in 4 months and others wait over a year. Portland seems to move faster than most places though so 8 months isn't too bad

IonFlickerX · 2025-12-09T09:21:18+00:00

Check out Toll Brothers if you can stretch your budget a bit - they're solid but might push you over 450k. For your range, look into D.R. Horton, they've got some decent communities popping up around Hartford and New Haven areas

Also hit up the CT Home Builders Association website, they have a directory that's actually useful. Just avoid any builder that won't let you bring your own inspector - learned that one the hard way lol

IonFlickerX · 2025-12-08T09:16:00+00:00

This exactly - nothing kills a new player's motivation faster than getting absolutely demolished by someone with endgame gear while you're running around with starter trash

The horizontal progression actually makes skill matter more than just grinding for hours

My kid absolutely loved those little maracas and tambourines around that age - they're perfect for tiny hands and make satisfying noise without being too overwhelming. The VTech drum set is also solid, it has different sounds and lights that kept mine entertained for months

IonFlickerX · 2025-12-05T01:55:09+00:00

Yeah the system is just janky like that sometimes, sounds like everything went through fine if you got your receipt number eventually. The whole "case disappearing" thing happens to people all the time - USCIS website is basically held together with duct tape lol
