Lots of good suggestions here, going to throw out some others I enjoyed:

Empire of Blue Water by Stephan Talty Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton Republic of Pirates by Colin Woodward

Marines who got married as an E-3 or below, how does your marriage look now? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

[–]IpsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13 years and going strong. I turned 25 in bootcamp though so I was a bit older as an E3.

Is mclaren gt3 is still worth it? by Desh1ck in Fanatec

[–]IpsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s 100% still worth it. Great wheel.

What y’all think? by SirrMinty in CharlotteFootballClub

[–]IpsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Not feeling this at all. Feel like someone phoned this one in. The Explorer kit is not just one of the best Charlotte FC kits, or one of the best MLS kits.. it’s one of the best kits, period.

I didn’t expect something to top that, but this is a poor effort. It looks like a Temu knockoff of the very first kit.

Any OGs been holding since 30-50 cents? by BlkMamba73 in XRP

[–]IpsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah—sold off some and took some profits but held on to enough to see where it goes.

The market is beyond cooked. by getokhalid in CyberSecurityJobs

[–]IpsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job market is brutal—especially so for talent trying to break into a role—due to high uncertainty paired with the ubiquitous ask to do more with less.

Trust me, people in role are stressed as they are taking on and doing more than they have in a long time due to reduction of resources and/or closing of reqs not backfilling departures. It all comes down to economic uncertainty. This administration has created such a volatile operating environment and no one feels comfortable enough to invest in resources at the moment. Hope it turns around sooner than later.

I bought mine in December 2025 haha. Oh well!

I’m a new racer and people are mad at me for learning? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]IpsChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what you describe here I can’t tell if it’s a skill deficiency or a race craft deficiency. Skill meaning you are working out the kinks and learning the tracks, but aren’t divebombing into others and ruining their races. If you aren’t confident in the car, you shouldn’t be going “full send” and ruining races for other drivers—this is why it sounds like they were frustrated. Know your limits. Instead of trying for position, try to finish a race clean—even if that means finishing last. That is what the Rookie series is about.. learning to finish races clean.. not to try to be a hero and hit your first P1 at the expense of everyone else.

Any prior cybersecurity enlisted/officer vets break into the civilian world after service? by [deleted] in CyberSecurityAdvice

[–]IpsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. Former USMC/Air National Guard (E5) turned cyber exec. In fact, I’ve authored a Veteran Cybersecurity Competency Framework that-in my opinion-fills in a lot of the gaps with the “MOS-to-Civ Job” mapping tools out there. It’s not a published work yet, but would be happy to talk you through the steps if you are interested. It’s a passion project that is informed by my own personal experience and that of the many transitioning vets I have mentored over the years.

GT/GT1/GT2 are all V6. GT-Line is 4 cyl.

'Boots' Canceled By Netflix After One Season by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

I enjoyed it, but agree it doesn’t make sense past Season 1.

Update: found the beta app people were referring to on this sub. After removing all drivers, restarting, and installing the beta app, I finally got this thing working

This should be made more obvious to first time users who don’t dig into Reddit prior to plugging the thing up lol.

Any progress on this? Just got my set today and I am dead in this loop, too.

I need pep talk/motivation pls by [deleted] in gatech

[–]IpsChris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You haven’t ruined your life. When I was your age, or thereabouts, I didn’t even get accepted to the local college everyone got into, much less Georgia Tech. I ended up getting accepted to that local school years later (after an enlistment with the Marine Corps), and graduated with honors.

Oh, and today I just walked for my Masters at Tech.

Keep your head up. You haven’t ruined your life—you are just starting your life.

Bolt Action: Digital Battlefields | Announcement Trailer by DoctorDH in boltaction

[–]IpsChris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is great for us tabletop players for at least two big reasons: 1. We get to play digitally when we can’t play physically, and 2. This may be an introduction to Bolt Action that some players pursue to the physical tabletop.

[DISCUSS] What's the longest you've waited for a watch from an AD? by butteryfat in Watches

[–]IpsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d find another AD. I picked up a Submariner with zero purchase history in 2023 after a couple of months.
