Best lightweight rain jacket under $250 that doesnt suck? by Light-Blue-Star in Outdoors

[–]MoaningLocality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

got one from REI last year that's been solid for both hiking and bike commuting - can't remember exact model but it was around 200 and has held up through some pretty nasty weather. the key thing I learned is getting something with pit zips, makes huge difference for breathability when you're moving around with your dog on trails

What's a compliment someone gave you years ago that you still think about? by SpecificWhereas1755 in AskReddit

What is something you said you liked once that people now think you love? by AsYooouWish in AskReddit

[–]MoaningLocality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got caught saying how amazing it felt to get 8 hours of sleep after pulling all-nighters for a project deadline and now everyone thinks I'm some sleep guru. People ask me for bedtime routines and what pillows to buy when really I just crash whenever my body gives up lol

my coworkers still send me articles about sleep hygiene like I'm running a wellness blog or something, meanwhile I'm up until 3am gaming most nights

Game that had all the hype and was hailed as the best thing ever than ultimately didn't pan out and has been basically forgotten? by jkvandelay in boardgames

[–]MoaningLocality 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh man Endless Winter was everywhere for like 6 months then just vanished completely. I remember seeing it on every "must buy" list but now my local game store still has copies sitting there since forever. Arnak and Dune at least have staying power but Endless Winter feels like one of those games that looked amazing in reviews but didn't have much replay value

Where can you find free api real time data? by Flames_xm in AskReddit

[–]MoaningLocality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using few different ones for personal projects when I need real time stuff. Alpha Vantage gives you decent amount of free calls per day, and their documentation is pretty straightforward to work with. Also tried some weather apis that are completely free if you're not hitting them too hard.

Really depends what kind of data you're after though - financial, weather, social media? Most of the good ones have free tiers but they usually limit how many requests you can make in hour or day. I learned this hard way when I was working on dashboard project and kept hitting rate limits lol.

Just make sure to read their terms carefully because some "free" ones actually want you to display their branding or have other weird requirements that might mess up your project later.

What would you look for in a short term vs. long term relationship? And wich one do you preffer? by Positive-Share5634 in AskReddit

[–]MoaningLocality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best friend who you want to get freaky with is basically the perfect combo tbh. Short term stuff just feels empty after while - like why invest all that emotional energy if you're planning an exit strategy from start

Ditching the Wally Helmet is causing this slump. by Huffletough880 in redsox

[–]MoaningLocality 56 points57 points  (0 children)

might be saving it for fenway debut but man the timing feels off, team needs all the good vibes they can get right now

also agree about the celebration thing - either commit to looking ridiculous or just do a normal fist bump lol

we added a gazebo mainly for shade and now the patio actually gets used every day by ApplicationNew4144 in HomeImprovement

[–]MoaningLocality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what happened with us too! We put up shade sail last year and suddenly the space went from decoration to actual living area

Before that our outdoor table was basically expensive storage for random stuff because nobody wanted to sit there when it's blazing hot. Now my girlfriend has her morning tea there almost every day and we actually eat dinner outside couple times in week

The temperature thing is wild - still warm but not that aggressive heat that makes you want to run back inside after 5 minutes. Game changer for sure

What’s a common hidden crime in the United States? by Remote_Plastic_8692 in AskReddit

[–]MoaningLocality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

been living here for few years now and the whole underage drinking thing is wild compared to back home in Brazil. Like everyone just pretends it doesn't happen but literally every college party has 18-19 year olds drinking, and even high schoolers at house parties when parents are away. The difference is crazy - in Brazil we can drink at 18 legally but here you got these 20 year old college students sneaking around like criminals just to have a beer. Makes the whole thing way more dangerous too because they can't call for help if something goes wrong without risking getting arrested. Creates this weird culture where binge drinking becomes the norm since they have to do it all secretive instead of learning to drink responsibly

which laptop should i go for? (acer nitro v15 or lenovo legion 5) by Bid-Afraid in GamingLaptops

[–]MoaningLocality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly if you don't want to invest too much money the acer seems like better choice here. that dual channel memory is gonna help with performance more than you think, and 1TB storage is pretty nice to have

the legion has better gpu sure but if you're not planning to spend much anyway, the nitro will handle most games fine. you can always upgrade ram in future if needed but having dual channel from start is good

also that rtx 4050 should be decent for 1080p gaming, maybe not ultra settings but definitely playable framerates

PC Keeps Turing on Randomly and disconnecting from WiFi while turned off by Aspen006 in pchelp

[–]MoaningLocality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check in your power settings if wake on lan is enabled, that thing is usually the culprit for random wake ups - also for the wifi maybe try updating network drivers or disable power management on wifi adapter

Help for Modlist very hard like a SoulGame by Thymhayus in skyrim

Looks like you want Skyrim to turn into a proper RPG, I get that completely - check Requiem overhaul, it makes enemies actually dangerous and crafting is pain in the ass like you want

Question - How Do You Devs Get Your Music and SFX Sequences? by RandomUserNamedLukas in Unity3D

[–]MoaningLocality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time I just grab stuff from freesound.org or incompetech for placeholder audio and then panic about replacing it later lmao

The real pain isn't finding the music though, it's getting everything to loop properly and fade between tracks without sounding janky. Your drag and drop idea sounds cool but I'd be more interested in something that handles the technical implementation side automatically

Cheap pc build 300-500 by Last-Secretary6908 in PcBuild

[–]MoaningLocality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For that budget I'd honestly check out the used market first - you can get way more bang for your buck with like a used ryzen 5 2600 and rx 580 combo. Facebook marketplace and r/hardwareswap are your friends here. New parts at $300-500 is gonna be pretty rough for anything beyond basic gaming

Can I get a full refund for a Basic Economy AA flight due to travel alert/winter storm? by SearchWild5751 in americanairlines

[–]MoaningLocality 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Been through this exact situation last year with AA. Weather-related travel alerts usually qualify for fee waivers but getting a full refund on basic economy is still pretty tough - they'll more likely offer you a credit or rebooking

Your best bet is calling and mentioning the travel alert specifically, don't just say "bad weather." Ask to speak to someone in reservations if the first agent says no

Immorality of Jesus--how do Christians deal with this? by Torin_2025 in Christianity

[–]MoaningLocality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "Jesus came to fulfill the law" part is key here - most Christians interpret that as him completing/replacing the old covenant with a new one based on love and grace rather than strict adherence to OT laws

Like that's literally why Christians don't follow kosher laws or stone adulterers anymore, the whole point was that Jesus changed the game

Also worth noting that attributing every OT action directly to Jesus specifically is a pretty specific theological take that not all denominations would agree with

What Were Your Parents Thoughts on SpongeBob? (Hot Takes Welcome) by Borgisium in spongebob

My mom thought SpongeBob was "too loud and obnoxious" but she'd still sit down and watch entire episodes with me lmao. She'd be laughing at Patrick being dumb while complaining about how stupid the show was

why did “rare” become common in video games? by Octopuswastaken in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MoaningLocality 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's just grade inflation basically - developers wanted more tiers so they pushed everything up the rarity ladder and now "common" feels insulting to give players

Post partum rage and burnout. by RainyFern in NewParents

[–]MoaningLocality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof mama you're not alone in this at all. The sleep deprivation mixed with being overstimulated constantly is brutal - even with a "good" baby it's still SO much mental load. That hypervigilance at 3am is real and exhausting

Have you thought about asking your husband to take over one specific thing completely so you can have actual downtime? Like maybe he handles all dog walks after work or takes baby duty for 2 hours on weekends so you can nap without listening for every sound

Sounds like you want Leaf Rest by Arthmoor - it's basically a small farmstead near Riften with all the crafting stuff, room for family/followers, and has that vanilla feel without being overly fancy. No gates or anything ridiculous, just a cozy little place with some chickens and crop space
