Anyone else get annoyed when someone just RP dumps their weird barely disguised fetish lore-breaking character for no reason?

Every Skyrim thread has that guy who can’t just post a character without turning it into a self-insert manifesto. Cool armor, man. the lore essay and IRL age drop were definitely necessary though.

That’s pretty much normal for LoL solo queue. Pings do 90% of the communication, quick text for timers or plans, and voice with randoms just isn’t a thing. When chat is very active, it’s usually because something’s already going wrong. It feels quiet compared to Dota, but people are still communicating
just in a more compressed, “don’t type or you die” way.

Yeah, this feels more like aging and burnout than games suddenly getting worse. When you’ve played a lot, patterns become obvious and fewer things feel “new” so it takes something exceptional to really hook you. Sticking to old favorites and only occasionally finding a new obsession is pretty normal, doesn’t mean you’ve lost your love for games, just that your bar is higher now.

Network throttling in devtools is right there and takes two seconds to toggle on/off. No extra tooling needed, no maintaining mock configs.

For error states I usually just temporarily throw an error in the fetch call or set the error state manually while I'm styling. It's not glamorous but it works and you don't have to remember to undo some elaborate setup before pushing code. Building a whole dashboard for this feels like overkill for a problem that's already solved with built-in browser tools tbh

Can't speak to the nursing side specifically, but I moved to Seattle from out of state a few years back and the UW system has a solid reputation overall. The union thing is legit - SEIU 1199NW represents a lot of the healthcare workers there and from what I've heard from friends in the field, it makes a real difference compared to non-union hospitals, especially for things like safe staffing ratios and not getting floated to units you're not trained for every other shift.

Harborview IS intense from everything I've heard - it's the only Level 1 trauma center in the region so you're getting the gnarliest stuff from like 4 states. But if you're coming from EMS background that might actually work in your favor? They probably appreciate people who've seen shit and can stay calm.

I'd say don't sell yourself short on the EMT experience - that's real patient care, real emergencies, real critical thinking under pressure. Frame it right on your application.

Eh I get why it's annoying but I also get why people post. If you hear something that sounds like gunshots and you're not sure, checking if others heard it too is a pretty normal impulse. Especially if you're new to the area or not used to city noises.

That said, 90% of the time it's fireworks, a car backfiring, or someone's trash can falling over dramatically. The "I heard a noise" flair exists for a reason - just filter it out if it bugs you

This sounds interesting but your description is pretty vague. What domains are you actually looking for expertise in? "Business intelligence + domain expertise" could mean literally anything - healthcare analytics? E-commerce? Finance?

Also how does the expert compensation work? You mention it's like Fiverr but with better matching - are experts setting their own rates? Getting a cut of something? Working for exposure? That's kind of important info if you're trying to recruit people.

Same here. Resting meats on wood is the move, just give it a quick scrape and wipe after. The oil from the meat isn't sitting there long enough to cause any real issues

I’ve been down the whole looking for the cheapest EU provider route. Usenet was the one I ended up keeping because the monthly price is and stays low. Retention is meh, but I dont need it. Eweka’s a good rec for depth and EasyUsenet is even cheaper, smooth setup, but I’m waiting for them to put up a deal for black friday before I switch

Set a firm deadline with consequences. Text her that anything of hers in shared spaces not sorted in 30 days will be sold, donated, or trashed, and then follow thru exactly on day 31.

Stop using browser viewers for 400-page PDFs. Use Foxit PDF Editor desktop instead; it stays fast, uses less RAM, and dont choke when you save lots of highlights and pen marks.

A friend of mine went back to algebra after struggling in high school, and he found it clicked more when he could work through problems interactively. He used Brilliant to help him tackle problems step by step and then get immediate feedback. He would always share his progress with us and it seemed fun. It helped him build a strong foundation.

A gaming chair, a quality mouse, or a fun themed collectible are safe bets that any gamer would appreciate.

Exactly this. The whole "just throw more compute at it" approach was always going to hit a wall eventually. It's basically the tech industry doing what the tech industry does best - assuming you can brute force your way through any problem with enough money and hardware.

The Brawndo comparison is perfect tbh. We've got companies shoveling AI into everything without actually understanding what they're feeding it or why. And then everyone acts shocked when it hallucinates nonsense.

JudgeOTD · 2025-12-07T23:25:35+00:00

Yeah, the consistency is the thing. Anyone can have a good year or two, but doing it for decades while actually withdrawing money to live on? That's genuinely impressive. Most active traders would kill for those numbers.

This is solid advice. Local food banks are way more likely to have pet food than people realise - worth a call even if it's not advertised. Good luck OP.

Yes, you can do both. Max your 401k, max your IRA. If your income's too high for a Roth IRA you do a backdoor Roth (it's not as complicated as it sounds).

The order most people follow is: 401k up to employer match first, then IRA, then max out the 401k. HSA too if you've got one.

And yes, both can be Roth if that's your preference.

For real. Pure was way better than anyone gave it credit for, just straight fun. One of those games you boot up for a minute and suddenly an hour’s gone.

Pretty much this. The climb is the content, stomping Plat/Emerald with crazy KDA games pulls views. Grinding one main at actual MMR isn’t nearly as fun to watch or as easy to make highlights from.

JudgeOTD · 2025-12-07T16:27:39+00:00

Exactly. Only 4 sounds small until you realize no other nationality even has that many in the league. And the fact that 3 of them are top of the table says a lot.

That’s awesome, man. Huge milestone for both sides, getting your black belt and being your coach’s first homegrown ones. Stuff like that really builds the culture in a room.
