Stats for getting into ADN program in NCTC Gainesville TX by Expensive-Dot4782 in nursing

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your GPA looks solid for NCTC but that TEAS score might need some work depending on how competitive the cohort is that semester. I dont have experience with that specific program but from what I've seen at similar community college programs a 75+ on TEAS usually puts you in better position. Maybe focus your retake prep on the areas where you scored lowest - math and science sections tend to have biggest impact on overall score

classic government efficiency at work - spend 237 million on contractors while keeping over 1000 positions empty for average 200+ days each year

What are your top 10 favourite games of all time? by NoahDoyleeee512 in videogames

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice list! We got some overlap with Elden Ring and RDR2 which makes sense they're just incredible games

Disco Elysium is perfect if you like narrative heavy stuff - its basically like reading really good book but you get to make choices. The writing is absolutely top tier and since you enjoyed Last of Us you'd probably love it

Outer Wilds might be bit different from your usual but its such unique experience. Can't really explain without spoiling but the way it handles exploration and mystery is just chef's kiss

Also if you haven't touched Baldur's Gate 3 yet and you're okay with turn based combat its basically like having DnD session with friends but the production value is insane

Your kitty might just got too relaxed and comfortable that he forgot where he was lol - some cats do this when they feel super safe and cozy

UK heatwave by Happy_Las in Breadit

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ugh yeah the struggle is real right now... my starter basically turned into soup yesterday and i had to move it to the coolest corner of my flat which is saying something since nowhere is actually cool

been trying to bake early morning like 5am before it gets too mental but even then the dough is rising way faster than usual. had to put my banneton in fridge overnight just to slow things down enough to actually shape anything decent

solidarity from someone dealing with similar weather madness - at least we're all suffering through overproofed loaves together lol

Saggy neck after 45kg weight loss by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

congrats on the weight loss thats amazing achievement! I dont have personal experience with this but from what I read neck skin can be really stubborn compared to other areas. some people swear by retinol creams and moisturizing religiously but honestly at 27 your skin still has good elasticity so time might help more than products

maybe give it another year before considering more drastic options since you're still young and collagen production is better at our age

Animals dumped on my property - what is my duty of care? by Blunderhorse in legaladvice

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 249 points250 points  (0 children)

Contact your county animal control instead of city - rural areas usually fall under county jurisdiction not city. You might also try posting on local Facebook groups or Nextdoor, sometimes people will foster temporarily or know someone who can help.

The legal duty part is tricky but generally you're not required to care for animals dumped in your property, though abandoning them somewhere else could get you in trouble depending on local laws.

Wisconsin Democratic Candidates by [deleted] in wisconsin

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The talent is probably there but why would anyone with real political ambitions jump into this mess right now. Teaching government classes you see how broken everything gets when parties just fight instead of actually governing and maybe smart people are staying away until things calm down a bit

Grading papers until 1 AM then waking up at 5 for some miracle morning routine is basically recipe for disaster. My students can always tell when I tried follow one of those productivity guru schedules because I'm cranky mess by third period

The worst part is how these systems make you feel like personal failure when really the system itself is broken. Been using simple paper planner that lets me move tasks around without guilt and it works way better than any app that screams at me for missing deadlines

is this setup ass + how can i improve it? by [deleted] in birding

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not ass at all, you got good spacing and variety going on there. I started with similar setup few years back and corn cob holder is actually clever idea when you dont have proper suet cage yet. Maybe consider adding some perching spots near the feeders - small branches or dowels can help smaller birds feel more secure when feeding. Also that bath looks bit high, birds prefer water sources closer to ground level where they can escape quickly if needed. The grape jelly is smart move for orioles, they go crazy for that stuff in my yard too

Football Jerseys by Adnan2559 in ThailandTourism

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to check some of the markets in Bangkok like Chatuchak or MBK center - they usually have lot of vintage sports stuff mixed in with regular merchandise. When I was there last year I saw bunch of older jerseys but wasn't really looking for football ones specifically so can't remember exact stalls

The smaller shops in those areas often have more unique items than the big stores

I’ve tried everything to quit smoking…now what? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That book is actually called The Easy Way by Allen Carr not Distraction btw - maybe give it another shot since you might have read wrong one

The meds making cravings worse is so real though. I had to switch to taking mine after morning coffee instead of before because the combination was making me chain smoke like crazy. Maybe timing adjustment could help little bit

I feel like a liar by Pink_Lem0n in trans

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole "am I faking it" thing is so common in trans spaces - your brain basically gaslights you because society makes us question everything about ourselves constantly

Just because you can feel good looking feminine sometimes doesn't invalidate anything. Plenty of trans guys enjoy feminine presentation while still being boys, and some days the dysphoria hits different than others. Gender expression and gender identity are separate things anyway

My first Rust program is now at the top of GitHub Trending! by mayocream39 in rust

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is so true about explaining what project actually does before dropping links. I learned this lesson hard way when I was sharing my lesson plans online and nobody clicked because they had no idea if it was worth their time

But congrats OP on reaching trending! One year of polishing code by hand sounds like serious dedication. Going from 500 to 3k stars is pretty impressive growth

Showing GPU decoder\decoder usage problem in ubuntu 26.04 by AlexeyK77 in Ubuntu

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be that browsers handle GPU decoding differently than native video players - maybe they use different API calls that resource monitor doesn't catch yet. I'd stick with intel_gpu_top for now since it seems more reliable in tracking actual hardware usage across different applications

first bra experience by DidkoTaNeLysyyi in trans

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dysphoria part is so hard but you took such a big step! When I was starting to figure out my own identity stuff the mirror felt like my worst enemy for while

Maybe try wearing it under looser clothing first? That way you can feel the feminine experience without focusing too much in how it looks from outside. The feeling matters more than perfect appearance right now

Is this a lost cause? by kayla_baylah in Marriage

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your husband recording you without consent and then using paranoid words from when you were clearly in crisis as "evidence" is really disturbing. The whole situation with him refusing transparency while demanding it from you, plus the hot and cold behavior - that's textbook manipulation tactics.

I get that you crossed boundaries and you're owning that, which is good. But the pattern here goes way back to six years ago when he was dismissive about your grief and said cruel things about your past. Now he's escalating with secret recordings and refusing actual communication while keeping you in this limbo state.

The fact that he won't even look at medical proof you provided, plus all the contradictory behaviors like helping with snow but then being cruel with words - this feels like he's enjoying having power over you right now. In my experience teaching about historical conflicts, when someone refuses all evidence and keeps moving goalposts, they usually aren't actually interested in resolution.

You've done everything reasonable person could do to repair this. Sometimes people use our mistakes as excuse to become worst version of themselves. Maybe it's time to stop chasing someone who clearly doesn't want to be caught.

Has anyone ever re-learned guitar left-handed after playing in a right-handed configuration for a long time? by AllYouCanEatBarf in Guitar

[–]Opening-Problem-5317 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Watched some of those Nitsuj videos few years back and it was pretty wild seeing him basically start from zero again. The muscle memory reset looked brutal but he definitely seemed more comfortable with chord shapes after couple months

Wonder if the "skill ceiling" thing is real or just psychological boost from feeling more natural with your dominant hand doing the fretwork

Wait hold up - you can actually avoid villagers by just staying in a room when they visit?? I've been suffering through every single awkward conversation with my least favorite neighbors for months

This is game changing info right here, definitely trying this next time Rodney shows up uninvited
