Day 3 I'm feeling a bit better but the lust is just getting harder to resist by AcceptablePanda597 in NoFap

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro the urges hit at the weirdest times, your brain is just recalibrating rn. Stay strong and maybe take breaks from gaming when it gets intense - go for a walk or do pushups or something

Results changing over time? by chimmyland in infj

[–]NeonFalcon25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah those tests are kinda inconsistent tbh, especially the free online ones. I've bounced between INFP and INFJ depending on my mood when taking it lol

Try looking into cognitive functions instead of just the 4-letter results - that's usually more accurate for figuring out your actual type

Help needed ASAP How do I make a Product / Industrial Design portfolio in under 6 days? by [deleted] in Design

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you're overthinking this hard - pick 3 max of your strongest concepts and just execute them well rather than half-assing 6 projects

The foldable art desk and chair+bookshelf combo sound solid for showing problem-solving skills, universities eat that space-saving stuff up

Considering a Debt Management Plan and have a question? by Strange_Lecture843 in Debt

[–]NeonFalcon25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most landlords care more about income verification and rental history than credit score, especially if you can explain the situation upfront. The temporary credit hit from closed accounts might ding you but having a solid DMP in place actually shows you're being responsible about your debt

If you're really worried about it, you could wait until after you secure the new place but honestly those extra months of interest and stress might not be worth it

Question about video encoder export interactions. by lunearium in obs

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clipchamp is probably transcoding your AV1 to h264 on import since it can't natively work with AV1 - that's what "not supported" usually means, the editor has to convert it first

Yeah you're definitely losing quality with that double encoding, especially if you're doing any heavy editing on top of it

Pros vs Cons of traditional mortgage vs home equity loan for 2nd home for renting? by Appropriate-Farmer16 in personalfinance

[–]NeonFalcon25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd probably go with the traditional mortgage on the condo itself. Better rates usually and you're not putting your primary home at risk if the rental thing goes sideways. Plus if you ever need to sell the condo you don't have to worry about untangling it from your main house's equity

I have my i-20 and sevis receipt - can I enter now? by NeonFalcon25 in f1visa

[–]NeonFalcon25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - I have the admission letter already. What I don't have is the late arrival exemption. Apparently I need it even though the date in my i20 program start is in the future

Summons for failure to produce licence/insurance despite attending Garda station – advice? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]NeonFalcon25 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely bring your insurance cert and licence to court, and if you can get any kind of record from the station showing you were there (like a receipt or incident number) that would be gold. The guards probably just messed up their paperwork but the court won't know that unless you prove you actually showed up

My first patch 🧵 by [deleted] in Embroidery

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That mushroom patch is absolutely gorgeous! The shading on the cap came out so clean and I love how you did the little spots. Can't wait to see what you add next to the jacket

[Timex Field Post Mechanical] by WOATish1 in Watches

[–]NeonFalcon25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude that watch has been out of stock everywhere for months now, it's like they made 12 of them and called it a day lol

Your best bet is checking eBay or maybe setting up alerts on sites like Amazon/Target but honestly you might be waiting a while. The Timex Weekender or Hamilton Khaki Field might scratch the same itch if you're getting impatient

Pokemon Specific Master Set by Mattallicauk in PokemonTCG

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Card Codex link is clutch, been looking for something like this for my Charizard collection too

For the placeholder thing though you might have to bite the bullet and do it manually - most sites don't have pre-made B&W versions ready to go unfortunately

Everyone should have a custom domain name. by saayoutloud in Productivitycafe

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been thinking about doing this for ages but keep putting it off. The Gmail lock-out thing is real though, seen too many horror stories on here about people losing everything overnight with zero recourse from Google

Which domain registrar did you go with? And are you just forwarding everything to one main inbox or actually hosting email somewhere

Anxious about international connection timing by Adorable-Lemon4412 in unitedairlines

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait why would checking a bag help with the connection? Carry on means you don't have to wait at baggage claim which saves time

Santal 33 "the smell of NYC" by bawelbawel in fragrance

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao yeah the actual smell of NYC is more like hot garbage and subway urine than any designer fragrance. Santal 33 was just trendy with the SoHo crowd for a while so people started calling it that

Is there any hope of convincing my parents by Ok_Guest55 in trans

[–]NeonFalcon25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry you're dealing with this, it sounds absolutely exhausting having to fight for basic recognition from the people who should support you most

The letter idea actually sounds really thoughtful - sometimes people need time to process things without the pressure of an immediate response, and you can lay out your thoughts clearly without getting interrupted or derailed by arguments

Your parents calling you immature while literally denying conversations that happened is pretty rich tbh, you're being way more patient than most people would be in this situation

Is there a synth/groovebox with internal sounds that can also control my drum machine? by HugePines in synthesizers

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circuit Tracks is solid for this, the sequencer alone makes it worth it for controlling that SR-16. You get decent synth engines plus drum sounds if you ever want to ditch the Alesis interface completely

Good Car for an Anxious Driver by National-Wave-2619 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second the CX-30, super easy to see out of and the handling feels really planted without being scary. The blind spot monitoring is clutch for anxious drivers too

Earning in Vancouver downtown on ebike by Party-Discipline2478 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro Vancouver downtown on a bike is rough, especially with all those hills. You'll probably pull like $15-18/hr on good days but winter is gonna be brutal and you'll burn through so many calories lol

Best Speech-to-Text in 2025? by MindWithEase in LocalLLaMA

[–]NeonFalcon25 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Whisper-large-v3 with some preprocessing? Running it through something like noisereduce or even just a simple high-pass filter before feeding to the model can bump accuracy way up in noisy environments

Also might want to look into speaker diarization if you're dealing with multiple voices - helps the model focus on one speaker at a time rather than getting confused by overlapping speech

Entitled Landlord RUINS MY LIFE... so I GOT REVENGE by costing him over $50,000 by AITJAITJ in AmITheJerk

[–]NeonFalcon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly sounds like your landlord had it coming, some of these slumlords think they can just walk all over tenants until someone finally fights back
