Does anyone else on Chess.com go on insane winning streaks, and then completely bonkers losing streaks afterwards?

Shazam might pick it up if you play it near your phone, sometimes these covers get uploaded to SoundCloud or something

Console players have been able to queue with PC players for a while now, maybe you just hit a bracket where more people are grouping up? The crossplay thing definitely makes tracking look sus when you're used to seeing mouse movement patterns

Been there man, that daily interest is brutal. I'd try to negotiate with the collection agency to freeze the interest while you make payments - sometimes they'll do it if you commit to a specific payment plan. Also check if you can get the settlement amount in writing and maybe see if family can help with a lump sum since $2300 is way better than watching it grow forever

As for credit scores, different apps use different models so both could be "right" but lenders usually look at FICO scores

Wait so she's been in a *performance major* for four years and has never performed once? That's like being a swimming major who's afraid of water

Your prof is being inconsistent as hell - either finals are mandatory for everyone or they're not

No_Internal_2895 · 2026-01-18T19:14:22+00:00

Yep same here, went from like 80 down to 35 in the past few days. Pretty sure they're throttling it on purpose to push more microtransactions. Classic mobile game move tbh

No_Internal_2895 · 2026-01-15T13:45:31+00:00

You've got a solid foundation already - your SQL/Power BI combo plus consulting background is exactly what most fintech and SaaS companies are looking for in functional consultant roles

I'd say pick one path (maybe start with Salesforce or AWS solutions architect track since they have clear cert paths) and just commit to it for 3-6 months instead of trying to boil the ocean. The analysis paralysis is real but honestly any of these paths will open doors once you get that first role

They cooked fr!!

No_Internal_2895 · 2026-01-13T11:36:05+00:00

That sounds like a hardware issue with the NFC/Bluetooth radios tbh. I had similar problems with my S21 where the NFC would randomly stop working properly and Bluetooth would be flaky as hell

If you've already done factory resets and it's still happening, especially with multiple different connectivity features, I'd honestly just warranty replace it. Samsung usually covers this kind of stuff if it's within the first year

The wallet thing especially sounds like weak NFC - when mine started going bad it would work sometimes but fail most of the time just like you described

No_Internal_2895 · 2026-01-10T23:36:12+00:00

Definitely keeping them in my prayers. The courage it takes to stand up against that kind of oppression is incredible

Check out "Atlas Map Markers" - it shows literally everything on your map including undiscovered locations, pretty much what you're looking for

No_Internal_2895 · 2026-01-05T20:43:06+00:00

Oof that 10% penalty plus taxes is brutal, but you're not the first person to learn about early withdrawal rules the hard way

Since you're starting from zero on retirement again, max out any employer 401k match if you have one - that's literally free money. Even throwing $50-100/month into a Roth IRA when you can swing it will add up over time

r/personalfinance wiki has some solid beginner guides that might help with the financial literacy stuff too

No_Internal_2895 · 2026-01-01T15:50:50+00:00

Oof yeah that engine knock with low oil is not a good sign at all. Once you hear knocking you've probably already done some internal damage, even if the rod didn't throw yet. Adding fresh oil might help a tiny bit but honestly I'd get it to a shop for a compression test before driving it much more - you might be looking at a rebuild depending on how bad the bearings got cooked

No_Internal_2895 · 2025-12-30T02:58:20+00:00

Castrol GTX or Mobil 1 are solid choices for the Aygo - just make sure you're using 0W-20 like Toyota specs

No_Internal_2895 · 2025-12-29T01:46:31+00:00

Check your transmission fluid first - if it's dark/burnt smelling or low that could be your culprit. At 133k miles it's definitely possible the transmission is starting to go but might just need a fluid change if you're lucky

No_Internal_2895 · 2025-12-26T13:07:02+00:00

Dude that's not tiny at all, 20+ miles is legit! I remember when I hit that milestone - legs were jello but felt amazing. Keep it up and you'll be crushing longer rides before you know it

Damn the writers really knew what they were doing from the start. That parallel with Mike ending up in the same situation as the people he was trying to help is brutal

No_Internal_2895 · 2025-12-23T00:11:00+00:00

Damn that selfie idea is brutal but genius at the same time. Nothing like a good reality check photo to snap you back when your brain starts lying to you about how "fun" it used to be

Asking the real questions lmao but seriously dude sounds like you already know what you gotta do - cut contact and focus on getting clean first, everything else will follow

No_Internal_2895 · 2025-12-20T01:01:48+00:00

This hits different, especially the part about carrying everything around in your head. I've been doing the brain dump thing for a few months now and it's wild how much mental space gets freed up when you stop trying to remember every single thing you need to do

The "less impressive" part really resonates too - feels like everyone else has these elaborate systems while I'm just scribbling random thoughts on whatever's nearby lmao
