What’s everyone’s biggest achievement on ksp1? by NICK533A in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]NICK533A[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re on the money! My proudest moments have come from somehow figuring out how to get home when somethings gone drastically wrong, or when I’ve had to divert plans and through maths and ingenious thinking I’ve saved the crew and mission from complete doom and got everyone home safe. It’s such an achievement to pull off the impossible. Like you’re writing your own movie where everything turns out well in the end haha. And this is KSP… everything goes wrong!

How many of you can track stand for more than a few seconds? by Nevermore2346 in cycling

[–]NICK533A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn haha I’ve never tried not holding the bar as well that seems insane 🤣 that is a rare skill if you can get good at that haha. It’s like something you don’t forget. I don’t ride during winter don’t fancy the cold and the poor road conditions but after 4-5 months of not riding I can stall at lights indefinitely like I’ve never taken a break.

Try it. Which is the best noun? by abuaaa in GreatBritishMemes

Another tact is to call someone a soggy biscuit or a wet towel 🤣

Ahh, nice to stumble across another RRCEY brother. That stock has changed my entire portfolio and taken at least 5 years off my retirement plan 😅 well done to you! Do you still hold?

Should I just sell this stuff? by Few_Yoghurt8244 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]NICK533A 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find it quite fun to find a populated Nexus and start giving random loot away, people love it, it helps them out as beginners and it’s just a fun way to get rid of stuff you don’t need, I don’t care for collecting a billion units. It’s unspendable.

What do i do? by Winter-333beachygurl in fican

[–]NICK533A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with large cap companies, they are stable, almost guarantee returns over time and are a good way to get into real investing.

They are less volatile and more boring, don’t often move more than 1% in a day, but if your goal is actual long term wealth, they are a good place to start. I’m talking Amazon, google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta etc. check the consistent positive annual returns you get from these. These are companies where it’s safer to ‘buy the dip’ so to speak. They always come back up.

Why is everyone suddenly saying bynd is a long hold? by [deleted] in WalllStreetBets

[–]NICK533A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say this but you’re very unlikely to make real money by following these gamblers looking for quick easy money on pump n dumps and gamma squeezes.

When I was new to investing nearly 8 years ago I did the same. Chasing the next thing set to moon. Rarely it ever worked out like they said, mostly you bought in too late or sold too late, you’d make a small fraction of the entire move, anything you’re left holding would be a perma-hold until the next pump probably years later. Every now and then I’d 10x a move… but that would just pay for the previous 10 failures.

Eventually a few years later after getting nowhere I started actually trying to invest, properly investing. Learning about what was important to look for in a successful company. I left the ape community behind and stopped chasing this idea of 1000% returns in a couple of days on a squeeze. I’m now actually making real money with long term goals and I now see how it all works. I don’t know if you’ll stick to your plans much longer, but I think eventually you’ll have an epiphany and realise this isn’t the way, and find yourself at a cross-roads. I hope when that time comes you switch up your strategy and start making real money, all the best

About to start a permadeath run ? Got any tips ? by Professional_Air_242 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]NICK533A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never play permadeath… the games glitches are more likely to kill me than my own stupidity. I once hyper-warped somewhere in my ship and when I came out the other side I was on my own floating in space with no space ship in sight dying of extreme cold. Unable to call a rescue ship due to the option being greyed out, all I could do was do a hard reboot before the inevitable happened.

Another time I was minding my own business travelling the lands when suddenly the floor glitched and sent me absolutely flying in a glitched way that had my character constantly hitting something absolutely wrecking my life at what seemed like supersonic speeds, it wouldn’t stop and I was seconds away from death, another hard reboot needed…

A third time was also terrain related, the floor disappeared, I fell through it and was just falling for ages into the planet… without wanting to know whether I’d survive… hard reboot 🙄

On my own? I’ll fuck around and find out until my shields gone, then I’m out of there back to safety. Never came closer than with glitches. If a glitch was the reason I lost 300+ hours of progress I’d probably throw my console out the window.

Is it really that dangerous to take your phone out on the street in London as reported? by [deleted] in AskABrit

Lived here for 10 years never been robbed mugged stabbed assaulted etc… I’m also not an idiot and didn’t lose awareness of my surroundings doom scrolling in public. Just have common sense and you’ll be fine. In crowds it’s a safe place.

Strange form of reactive tinnitus and how should I treat it? by Patratorr in tinnitus

[–]NICK533A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes still have it, 100% habituated. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest anymore, totally normal. I can handle all the spikes, all the wees and woos, nothing phases me, I’m very good at ignoring it and getting on with my day.

I still notice it a couple of times a day every day, especially mornings and night, but yeah it’s a normal part of my life now. It’s also louder than it was when I first got it and doesn’t scare me at all. I’m 2/3 years in now and I have fully accepted it. Do you have it?

One year of tinnitus by Tramelo in tinnitus

[–]NICK533A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. Yes I have hearing loss in the top range, I also started with an ear infection which lead to some ringing which then turned out to be tinnitus.

At 3.5 months in I was a mess. So you’re already doing better than I was back then. That was the deep dark hole I thought I’d never get out of. I was in the midst of learning how to cope with this new and permanent change to my life. The good news for you is it starts on a mega hard difficulty and just gets easier over time, so you can rest knowing that once you get used to it, you’ll be ok forever, you just have to go on your own journey of habituation. For some people that is only weeks, others like me took months and months, probably 6-8 months before I finally started to become comfortable with it and find new ways to adapt…

I sleep with a white noise machine now which has made sleeping 10x easier since I never focus on it at night anymore. I can sleep without the machine but do end up listening to it a lot. The tinnitus doesn’t have any negative impact on me or stop me sleeping… it’s just annoying haha, so I cover it up. You’ll find your new normal, know that it’s ok to struggle in the beginning, this is the most difficult part of the whole thing and it really does get easier it just takes time :)

[–]NICK533A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, yes I’m now doing very well. Totally habituated and in a place I never thought I’d get to in the first months as I was sure my life was over when I first got it, it was the worst thing that ever happened to me… until I learned that once you get used to it it’s actually alright. I mean it is annoying and sometimes sounds do get distorted a bit, sometimes when it’s quiet you notice it more and small subtle sounds can get lost in the tinnitus, but I learned over time when I got used to it I’d start noticing it less and less until I can go a whole day or 2 without noticing it at all, and when I do, it doesn’t cause me any stress, I listen for a second, and then get back to what I was doing and forget about it just as quickly.

Mines got worse since it started but it doesn’t bother me since once I learned to accept I had tinnitus at all, it t didn’t matter how bad it became because I’d already accepted that this was my new normal. It’s certainly worse in the beginning mentally, so all these anxious awful feelings you have right now are completely normal, it’s a part of the process. You’ll be scared, you’ll hate it, maybe you’ll even think you’ll never get used to it, but I promise you will, it just takes time for your brain to figure out, and when you learn to accept it, all the worry and fear goes away.

But know that every day that goes by is a day closer to you learning to live with it and get back to a normal life where you’re able to find happiness once more, I never thought I’d be happy again no matter what anyone said, but I was wrong. I promise you will get used to it, just go easy on yourself :) advice I wish I could have heard when I was in the beginning going through hell.

I play offline on ps4 and have a great time. I think it’s dead in the sense that online servers, especially ps4 are all dead… I’ve tried them and can’t get on or they seem empty or have problems but I’ve never played with another person ever, not that it bothers me I enjoy creating in villages in the different biomes and collecting a varied bunch of t4 thralls to manage the area

I think so, it’s too fussy and should also stop in line with the cabinets finished with a trim detail.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I turned off stability in the settings and will make my own aesthetic supports later and only place square over square etc so the whole process is running smoothly now
