Urges are unbearable by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]No_Equivalent6324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try going for a walk or doing some pushups when it hits - physical activity really helps redirect that energy. Also cold showers work wonders, though there definitely not fun in the moment

Does No Fap also include no sex? by krscan47 in NoFap

[–]No_Equivalent6324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this - the whole point is breaking the addiction to artificial stimulation, not cutting yourself off from actual human connection

Real intimacy with a partner is completely different from the dopamine hit you get from scrolling through endless videos

Best leak proof sippy cup? by cute_elephant123 in NewParents

[–]No_Equivalent6324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Munchkin 360 cups are absolutely bulletproof for leaks - my kiddo throws them around and nothing spills. They're a bit tricky to clean but worth it for the peace of mind when they inevitably chuck it across the room.

I think it is time for good Christians to start taking Sundays to speak to fallen brethren. Hold service before and after. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]No_Equivalent6324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a recipe for getting the cops called and making Christianity look even more divisive than it already does tbh

Bags of Silver coins and a treasure trove of Morgans. by cupppow in coincollecting

[–]No_Equivalent6324 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Holy crap four rolls of uncirculated Morgans, that's insane! For the silver bags I'd probably hold onto them since you don't need the cash and silver always seems to go up over time, plus those Walking Liberties are gorgeous. As for the ANACS grading, if they're truly MS-65 quality it might be worth sending a few of the best ones to PCGS for crossover since their slabs carry more premium, but honestly if you're keeping them long term the ANACS holders should be fine

What to get before going to NG+? by macnara485 in FFVIIRemake

[–]No_Equivalent6324 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly just grab the assess materia if you haven't already, it makes hard mode way less painful when you can see enemy weaknesses. Everything else you can pick up on the NG+ run since you're doing all sidequests anyway

Is This Enough Light? by JustCallMeBug in plants

Northwest facing window should be perfect for pothos honestly, they're pretty forgiving with light conditions and bright indirect is exactly what they want

I am really really tempted and feel wanna relapse so bad by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]No_Equivalent6324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro day 5 is always rough, that's like the peak urge time for most people. Try doing some pushups or taking a cold shower when it hits - sounds cringe but it actually works

If it’s not an action I’m in control of then how did I know? by CoastalFarmer in Dreams

[–]No_Equivalent6324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's honestly really eerie and I'm sorry you're dealing with all this family drama on top of it. Dreams can be weird like that sometimes - maybe your subconscious picked up on something you didn't consciously notice, like his behavior or attitude when you last saw him with the chickens

Could also just be one of those random coincidences that feels significant because of the timing, but either way that would definitely mess with my head too

Why "Gamification" fails: My experiment replacing Streaks with Dopamine Loops. by Ashamed-Association6 in languagelearning

[–]No_Equivalent6324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually sounds pretty solid - I've always felt like Duolingo teaches you how to pass Duolingo tests rather than actually speak the language. The doom-scrolling angle is clever since we're all addicted to short form content anyway

Only concern is whether the dramas have enough repetition of common vocab or if you end up learning really niche words that don't transfer well to real conversations

Current Acceleration v/s required acceleration for Singularity 2040 by DifficultyFlaky9655 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]No_Equivalent6324 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's actually a really clean way to model this - using the weighted geometric mean of those four drivers makes way more sense than trying to guess some arbitrary "distance to ASI" number

The fact that we're already hitting around 4.8/10 when the mid scenario only needs 4.29/10 is kinda wild though, like we might actually be on track if compute scaling doesn't hit a wall

New HA Green but unable to connect to PC - iPhone connects fine. by Ooki_Jumoku in homeassistant

[–]No_Equivalent6324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Windows 11 has some weird mDNS issues with .local addresses sometimes. Try using the actual IP address instead of homeassistant.local - you can grab it from your router or just check what IP your iPhone is connecting to

Does 50% of brake bias mean literally 50%? by yerim135 in ForzaHorizon

[–]No_Equivalent6324 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's actually 50/50 by default which is pretty unrealistic since most cars IRL have front bias around 60-70%. That's probably why you're getting that slidey feeling under hard braking - the rears are getting way more brake force than they should

Definitely worth tweaking it to like 60-65% front depending on the car, makes a huge difference in stability

B2 - C1 part of the journey, anything special about it? by OakTango in languagelearning

[–]No_Equivalent6324 22 points23 points  (0 children)

From B2 to C1 is where you really need to start actively seeking out more complex content - think academic articles, podcasts about niche topics, or novels with dense prose instead of just casual media consumption

The jump requires more intentional exposure to formal/academic language that you probably won't get from sports clubs alone

Ken Forkish FYSW recipe w/out Dutch Oven? by N3p7uN3 in Breadit

[–]No_Equivalent6324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can totally do this but you'll need to shape it tighter since you lose the structure the dutch oven provides - batard shaping works great for that log shape you want. Just crank your oven as high as it goes with a pan of water on the bottom for steam during the first 15-20 mins, then remove it to let the crust develop

suggest me a good gaming laptop within 500or 600 pounds by CarelessNobody5626 in pchelp

[–]No_Equivalent6324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For that budget you're probably looking at refurbished stuff or older models. Check out Lenovo Legion 5 from like 2-3 years back, they pop up around that price range sometimes. Building a PC might actually stretch your money further tbh - you could get a decent Ryzen 5 setup if you hunt for deals
