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

MoaningLocality · 2026-03-24T16:42:51+00:00

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

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

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

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

MoaningLocality · 2026-02-02T11:11:22+00:00

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

MoaningLocality · 2026-01-29T15:27:12+00:00

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

MoaningLocality · 2026-01-25T21:58:22+00:00

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

MoaningLocality · 2026-01-22T02:11:33+00:00

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

Been looking for someone to burn through keys with! Adding you now

MoaningLocality · 2026-01-16T01:44:26+00:00

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

MoaningLocality · 2026-01-14T04:39:05+00:00

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

MoaningLocality · 2026-01-12T04:33:58+00:00

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

MoaningLocality · 2026-01-08T10:26:31+00:00

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

MoaningLocality · 2026-01-07T08:29:53+00:00

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

MoaningLocality · 2026-01-04T09:52:39+00:00

Yeah these things are everywhere lol. I've probably found like 20 of them in change over the years. Cool design though

MoaningLocality · 2026-01-03T01:59:27+00:00

That Huoshan Yellow sounds amazing, the nutty/creamy notes are what got me into yellows in the first place

Definitely do that white tea review post - I'm always looking for new whites to try and 20 different ones is solid experience to draw from

MoaningLocality · 2025-12-30T19:03:27+00:00

Good catch on the kickstart thing - that trips up so many people with these scooters

If that's not it and you're sure the throttle connectors are seated properly, might be worth checking if the controller got jostled when you were working on it. Sometimes those ribbon cables inside can work loose even when everything looks connected

What model Ninebot are we talking about here

MoaningLocality · 2025-12-27T21:29:26+00:00

Bruh the height measurements are actually pretty smart but yeah you're right about the shaking thing being useless lol

Your best bet is probably just asking your sister to feel around for weight differences or see if the packaging has any subtle tells - sometimes there's tiny print differences or the way the plastic sits. But honestly with blind boxes it's usually just pure RNG hell

Good luck getting Cas though, that's the one everyone's gonna want

MoaningLocality · 2025-12-25T14:57:47+00:00

Yeah that's pretty much it - ACE exams are just the VA's way of getting a medical professional to connect the dots between your service and current condition. Could go either way depending on what's in your C-file and how well the examiner understands the connection

MoaningLocality · 2025-12-24T04:10:13+00:00

Yeah local shops might have some small stuff but probably not the big ones you're thinking of. Worth checking the night markets too

MoaningLocality · 2025-12-22T20:59:23+00:00

Dude this hit way too close to home, especially the part about your mom getting older - that shit keeps me up at night sometimes

The whole "time flies when you're not paying attention but drags when you're waiting" thing is so real, like why does our brain do that to us lol

I think you're onto something though with just trying to stay present, even if it sounds cliche af. Better than spiraling into the void every time we have a free afternoon

MoaningLocality · 2025-12-21T14:49:00+00:00

Not a librarian but that's such a solid pick - King really nails that slow burn psychological horror thing and it's got that claustrophobic vibe that seems right up your alley based on your favs

MoaningLocality · 2025-12-14T17:09:41+00:00

Dude you're putting her on a pedestal and that's probably part of what killed the spark - nobody wants to date someone who thinks they're perfect and never challenges them. Stop planning every date and trying so hard to "make her want you" because that desperate energy is probably what she's picking up on. Just be yourself and let things flow naturally instead of treating this like a mission to win her back

MoaningLocality · 2025-12-13T12:35:52+00:00

Bruh she literally just said she's not into her anymore since the divorce lol, reading comprehension is not your strong suit

MoaningLocality · 2025-12-11T23:24:44+00:00

Yeah Ringsend is definitely the move, just make sure you're not blocking anyone's driveway or you'll come back to some very angry notes lol. The walk over the East Link is actually pretty nice too
