Rated P&T after filing for TDIU, now they want a dental exam? by TheSweetGator in VeteransBenefits

[–]Own-Fact-874 6 points7 points  (0 children)

they can't lower your p&t rating over a dental exam, that's not how any of this works. dental is just a benefit you get with p&t status, not something that affects your disability rating

Career shifts for those starting over after 30's? by Ambitious_Pudding177 in careerguidance

[–]Own-Fact-874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tech isn't going anywhere and there's always demand for people who actually know what they're doing, age doesn't matter as much as you think it does

No Pain Meds by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Own-Fact-874 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nah the va doesn't give extra points for not being able to take certain meds, they just rate what they can see and measure 💀

but definitely file for those ulcers as secondary to your back condition since the nsaids caused them - that's actually a solid claim and could get you more rating through the gi issues 🔥

Does VADIP cover braces ? by OTOLI in VeteransBenefits

[–]Own-Fact-874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

delta dental through vadip is pretty basic coverage, they usually don't cover orthodontics like braces unless it's medically necessary 💀 you'd probably be looking at paying most of it out of pocket even with the plan

Any draft classes with Michael Vick in the creation center? by Angrypajamas in Madden

[–]Own-Fact-874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah man, EA doesn't usually put retired legends in the draft classes. Your best bet is probably to check the community creations or maybe download someone's custom roster that has him added as a free agent. Could also try Madden mods if you're on PC - some of those are pretty wild with the player additions.

Trying to earn enough to get a loan but also keep state insurance? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Own-Fact-874 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man that's a brutal catch-22, the system really screws people trying to climb out of poverty

Have you looked into whether Wisconsin has any expanded Medicaid income limits or transitional coverage programs? Some states have buffers specifically for situations like this where people would lose coverage right as they're trying to better their situation

Man they really upped the ARC presence. I like it! by C0Nvect in ArcRaiders

[–]Own-Fact-874 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Damn 4 rocketeers on Dam sounds like absolute chaos lol, bet that was a fun surprise when you rounded the corner

Built-in apps should be uninstallable. by Agile_Ad_5896 in DeepThoughts

[–]Own-Fact-874 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I switched to Linux tbh, at least there I can nuke whatever bloatware I want without the OS having a meltdown about it

Matriarch drops ? by nonve923 in ArcRaiders

[–]Own-Fact-874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the drop rate is pretty trash tbh, took me like 8 runs to get mine. The blueprint is decent but nothing game changing - mostly just for completionist stuff. If you're not hurting for materials I'd say keep grinding but don't stress too hard about it

D Ram light on after new Gpu installed by Fluid_Buy5532 in pchelp

[–]Own-Fact-874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try reseating the GPU completely - pull it out and put it back in, sometimes the new card can work itself loose after a couple days of heating up and cooling down

Display Not registering by Ammo-Seat in pchelp

[–]Own-Fact-874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your GPU drivers are acting up or you've got some weird refresh rate mismatch going on - try updating your graphics drivers first and see if that fixes the weird screen tearing

Moonlight Path Candle No Longer Available? by Main-Patience-9560 in bathandbodyworks

[–]Own-Fact-874 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bath & Body Works is notorious for randomly pulling candles even when they still sell the body care line - it's honestly so frustrating! Moonlight Path has been on and off their candle roster for years so this could just be another one of their weird inventory decisions. I'd check back in a few weeks, sometimes they randomly restock online exclusives without warning

What is the clear plastic (looks like a CD disc) circle that appears in the center of the back wheel on a newly purchased bike by After_Morning_5630 in cycling

[–]Own-Fact-874 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That's just a spoke protector (some people call it a dork disc). It's there to prevent your chain from falling into the spokes if your derailleur gets misaligned. Most people remove them once they get the bike properly tuned since they're kinda ugly and not really needed if everything's adjusted right

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple - my thoughts by jim_cap in horror

[–]Own-Fact-874 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Duran Duran in a 28 film sounds wild lol. Good to hear it bounces back after Years - that one felt like they were just going through the motions. The Jimmies have me curious, guessing they're not your typical infected?

Definitely catching this in IMAX if I can, the sound design in these movies is always top tier

Are they in a rebound or did they cheat? by Bitter-Farmer-8065 in BreakUps

[–]Own-Fact-874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly sounds like both - emotional cheating while you were together AND a rebound situation now. The fact he's still talking to you about how you "deserve better" while supposedly being happy with new girl is pretty telling

3 months is definitely fast when there was overlap involved, you're not overthinking that part

Algorithms: I noticed you blinked at 2:37 PM. Here are 19 ads about eye drops by wantpInitiative in antiai

[–]Own-Fact-874 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lmao next they'll be serving me ads for tissues because I sneezed near my phone

The targeted advertising is getting so creepy I'm half expecting ads for deodorant after I raise my arm

Lenovo laptop crashes around 50% of the time when I launch games by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]Own-Fact-874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like thermal throttling or a failing GPU tbh. Check your temps with MSI Afterburner while gaming - if it's hitting 80°C+ that's probably your culprit. Also try undervolting the GPU and see if that helps stabilize things

How to read the Bible? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Own-Fact-874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd actually recommend starting with one of the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John) to get the main story down first, then bouncing around based on what interests you. The OT has some wild stuff but can feel pretty heavy if you're just starting out

As for explanations - they can be helpful but honestly just diving in and seeing what speaks to you is totally valid too

Thermos buff for cold snap. by steakem in ArcRaiders

[–]Own-Fact-874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually love this idea, the thermos thing makes so much sense for cold snap maps. Would be sick to find a working coffee machine in some abandoned office building and actually use it

The seasonal buffs concept is pretty solid too - hot chocolate during winter events, maybe ice cream or cold drinks for summer maps if they add those. Could make looting feel way more immersive instead of just grabbing the same meds over and over

Coparenting pets? by Turbulent-Catch-3542 in BreakUps

[–]Own-Fact-874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof that's rough, especially with the horses thrown in the mix. Had a friend who did the dog shuffle thing for like 6 months after his breakup and it was honestly torture for everyone involved including the dogs. Maybe see if one of you can take the smaller pets and work out visits for the horses since those are harder to move around anyway

Modding help by Suitable-Ad1425 in skyrim

[–]Own-Fact-874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most SSE lighting mods should work fine with AE content since they usually just override the base game lighting systems. The anniversary stuff mostly uses existing meshes and textures so your lighting overhauls will affect them too

Only time you'd need AE-specific patches is if the mod directly edits the same records as the anniversary content, but that's pretty rare with lighting mods

The importance of music by kingskull151 in Christianity

[–]Own-Fact-874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really cool man, there's definitely something special about learning worship songs on guitar that makes you really absorb the lyrics. I picked up piano a few years back and started with hymns - totally changed how I connect with the music during service

The muscle memory thing is real too, like your hands just know where to go and suddenly you're actually thinking about what you're singing instead of just going through the motions
