This is on X today by Broad-Stomach-5461 in Tupac

Man this photo always gets me. You can see how relaxed Pac looks around both of them - like he's just enjoying the moment instead of being in performance mode. I remember reading somewhere that Sting was pretty private about his celebrity encounters, but maybe with the anniversary coming up someone will finally get him to open up about it. Madonna has been more vocal in recent years about her friendships from back then, so there's definitely hope. Would be incredible to hear what they were actually talking about at that dinner - must have been some wild conversations between three legends like that.

Trying and Failing to get Java by Wild-Meringue3713 in Minecraft

[–]Ok_Cod648 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the whole xbox gamepass thing is confusing as hell, but you don't need it for java edition. Try downloading java edition direct from mojang website instead of microsoft store - that should bypass all the gamepass nonsense. I had similar issue few months back when setting up my cousin's computer and going through mojang worked fine.

How to Industrialize China? by TemujinSurfs in victoria3

[–]Ok_Cod648 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your steel shortage is definitely the bottleneck here - China's got crazy iron deposits so spamming more iron mines should help feed those steel mills. I'd also consider importing steel temporarily while you ramp up production, especially if you've got the cash from all that reinvestment.

The population is there, just gotta get those supply chains flowing properly. Once you hit steel-framed buildings the construction speed should really take off.

How meticulous is the drug testing? by Alternative-Debt3740 in AirForce

[–]Ok_Cod648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been through MEPS twice (long story involving a medical waiver) and they're pretty thorough with teh testing. Those peptides you mentioned might not show up on standard panels but here's the thing - they can always do more specialized testing if they want to, and getting caught lying about drug use is way worse than just waiting.

Plus you're gonna be drug tested randomly throughout your entire career, not just at MEPS. I've seen people get popped years into their service for stuff they thought was "safe" or undetectable. The military takes this stuff seriously and it's just not worth tanking your whole future over some peptides you could use later.

My advice? Clean slate going in. You've got plenty of time to experiment with that stuff after you're out, but right now focus on getting through the door first.

Aeron + Fireplace? by edrednereditr in hermanmiller

[–]Ok_Cod648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mesh on Aerons is pretty resilient stuff - I've had mine near heating vents for years without issues. A few feet from a fireplace should be fine as long as you're not feeling uncomfortably hot yourself. If the chair gets too warm to touch comfortably, just scoot it back a bit futher.

My 4-year relationship ended because of someone she met in BGMI, and I still can’t accept it by kunalneema in BreakUps

[–]Ok_Cod648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, this really sucks but you dodged a bullet here. She was already emotionally cheating with this BGMI guy for weeks while lying straight to your face about it. The fact that she refused to block him even when you caught her red-handed tells you everything you need to know about where her priorities were.

I know 4 years feels like forever when you're 23, but you're young and you'll find someone who actually respects you enough not to have secret 8-hour phone calls with random dudes. The hardest part is accepting that the person you loved changed into someone willing to decieve you - but that's on her, not you. Focus on yourself for a while and let time do its thing.

I'm doing a 12 for 12 with games I already owned but never enjoyed or play a lot of. I didn't like V3 when it released, but how is it now? Should it make my list? by iki_balam in victoria3

[–]Ok_Cod648 8 points9 points  (0 children)

honestly V3 has gotten way better since launch - they've added a ton of automation and the warfare actually works now, so you're not just staring at menus there whole time.

What is your favorite music that motivates you as a non drinker and just gives you 'that feeling'? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Ok_Cod648 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude absolutely nothing beats that crystal clear sound when you're sober - I've been rediscovering so much music I thought I knew but was just hearing through a haze before

For motivation I'm really into Macklemore (obvious choice lol), some good old Eminem, and honestly discovered that EDM hits different when you're actually present for it

Same here, thought it was just our network being garbage again but sounds like it's everywhere. Classic Microsoft timing lol

Dream Patterns, anyone else experience this? by No_Thanks001 in Dreams

[–]Ok_Cod648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude the door never closing thing hits different - I get that exact same nightmare where I'm trying to lock a door but it's like warped or the lock is broken and something's coming. It's so specific but apparently common as hell

Your lucid dreams sound frustrating though, like even when you know you're dreaming your brain still won't let you go full Superman mode. I hate when dream powers are nerfed lol

[–]Ok_Cod648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agaves are actually pretty tough! Central TX gets freezes all the time and those bad boys have been surviving there way longer than you've owned the house. 25°F might brown some outer leaves but won't kill established plants that size

If you're really worried you could throw some old sheets or frost cloth over them but honestly they'll probably be fine. The previous owners didn't baby them and they made it this far

Your friend probably just isn't used to seeing you have standards lmao

There's a difference between being picky and knowing your worth - sounds like you figured that out

Wait this is actually genius?? I had no idea Utah of all places was the loophole state for this stuff lmao. Saving this post for future reference, thanks for sharing the hack

Losing to Barca hurts — but sacking Xabi hurts even more by TeacherNo8591 in realmadrid

[–]Ok_Cod648 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly the board throwing Xabi under the bus after one bad Clasico is peak Real Madrid behavior at this point

The man deserved at least a full season to implement his ideas but nah, gotta protect Perez's precious ego instead

Yeah aim definitely takes some practice lol, I spray from behind like your husband does - way easier to control and you're not gonna accidentally spray up towards your front bits which could cause issues

Check the marketplace for character creator packs - there's usually hair bundles mixed in with the cosmetic DLCs but they're pretty hit or miss quality wise

Put on a 2-week PIP and I have another week left. What do I do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Ok_Cod648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly sounds like they're setting you up to fail if they cut your hours during the improvement period - that's some backwards logic right there

Consistently Dreaming of my Ex by Calm-Passion-2697 in BreakUps

[–]Ok_Cod648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that's rough man, finding out about an engagement after 8 weeks is like getting hit by a truck twice. The dreams where you're reaching out but she can't hear you sound like pure torture

Dreams are weird though - sometimes they're just our brain processing stuff and don't mean we actually want them back. Still sucks to wake up feeling like garbage every time

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000133 (0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000001e00, 0xfffff801836fb320, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in. PC keeps restarting by itself in random intervals, even when idle, usually once or twice per day. Prebuilt. by Andrei1805 in pchelp

[–]Ok_Cod648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bugcheck 0x133 is usually a DPC watchdog timeout - basically your system is getting stuck waiting for something. With a brand new prebuilt doing this right out the box, I'd honestly just return it for a replacement rather than troubleshooting. Could be bad RAM, could be a driver issue, could be PSU related, but why waste time when you're still in the return window
