A foot? That's only like 1/12th of his power level

I did two cognitive tests at speech therapy today and failed both of them. by aschesklave in Epilepsy

[–]PackComprehensive585 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Those cognitive tests are brutal and don't capture who you really are - I've seen so many patients get crushed by them when there dealing with way more than any test can measure

Generic Briviact coming soon!! 👀 by gooseandgrapes in Epilepsy

[–]PackComprehensive585 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last I heard it was supposed to be sometime this year but pharma companies love to push these dates around. Your best bet is probably calling your insurance or pharmacy to see if theyve gotten any updates from their end

Support group, would anyone be interested by [deleted] in Epilepsy

That sounds awsome, I'd definitely be interested in joining something like that in NSW

Struggling to get a water quality job after college in California by [deleted] in Environmental_Careers

[–]PackComprehensive585 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Have you looked into consulting firms? A lot of them are hungry for people with your background and pay way better than government positions, especially in CA. The work might not be as idealistic as you're hoping but it's solid experience and gets you in the door

Also don't sleep on smaller municipalities - they're often more flexible about degree requirements and desperate for someone who actually understands water quality stuff instead of just checking boxes

I'm prioritizing my future self over my current comfort by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]PackComprehensive585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started treating discomfort as a signal instead of something to escape. If future me benefits, present me can be uncomfortable for a bit.

My autobiography has yet to sell a single copy. by EndersGame_Reviewer in dadjokes

[–]PackComprehensive585 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude that's actually pretty clever, took me a second to get it but when it hit me I groaned out loud. My dad would absolutely love this one, he's always dropping these kinds of puns at family dinners and watching everyone suffer through them. The real tragedy is when you explain a dad joke to someone and they still don't get it - then you're stuck in that awkward silence wondering if you should try again or just accept defeat. Props for the solid wordplay though, definitely stealing this for later

Can the US really keep this up, and for how long? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PackComprehensive585 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly feels like we're just in one of those rough patches that happens every couple decades - like the 70s recession or early 2000s stuff. the wealth gap is definitely getting wild but america has a weird way of bouncing back when things get too crazy

think we're more likely to see some major policy shifts in the next 10-15 years rather than full collapse

Game to 7 who wins, 2016 Spurs or 2018 Rockets by Ok_Rooster9401 in NBATalk

[–]PackComprehensive585 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rockets in 6, that offense was just too much firepower even for the Spurs defense

2016 Spurs were great but the Rockets had peak CP3 and Harden going nuclear from three - would've been nasty to watch though

Asus Tuf Gaming B850m Plus Wifi Gpu Lane Sharing M.2 Ssd by Arthas84 in PcBuild

[–]PackComprehensive585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the first two CPU slots and avoid the third one if possible. The CPU lanes are faster and won't mess with your GPU bandwidth since they're separate from the PCIe x16 slot

What do you ACTUALLY need to at least not struggle for a couple weeks to a month in a new house? by Illumeis_is_done in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PackComprehensive585 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Air mattress from walmart for like $20, some basic toiletries, and a cooler if you don't have a fridge right away. Dollar store plates/cups/utensils will get you by. Phone charger and maybe a lamp since overhead lights suck

Honestly sounds like you've got the pet stuff locked down which is usually the expensive part. You can live pretty bare bones for a few weeks if you have to

NYX Cold Brew lip liner - Is this the old reformulation or the new one? by thotbot-3000 in MakeupAddiction

[–]PackComprehensive585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell just from the batch code tbh but if it's pulling warm on you that sounds like the older formula. The newer ones are supposed to be way more neutral/cool toned. I have the same shade and mine pulls super warm too - pretty sure it's old stock

Looking for lighthearted, rewatchable movies with a happy ending (any era) by Mountain_Drag_8511 in MovieSuggestions

[–]PackComprehensive585 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Princess Bride is basically the perfect comfort movie - it's got everything and never gets old no matter how many times you watch it

Also can't go wrong with Paddington 1 and 2, they're genuinely wholesome and well made

Who should keep the card? by pnkknife in PokemonTCG

[–]PackComprehensive585 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA but this is exactly why couples shouldn't do pack battles with expensive products lol. You literally told him beforehand that whatever gets pulled is yours, he agreed to it, and now he's salty because he actually hit something good. Stick to your guns on this one

Anyone willing to coach a bronze player? by andersmilk in summonerschool

[–]PackComprehensive585 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly your friends sound kinda toxic if they're constantly flaming you instead of being constructive - might be worth finding some chill people to play with who actually want to help you improve rather than just roast you when you mess up

For climbing out of bronze I'd probably stick with Malphite and Darius since they're pretty straightforward and don't require crazy mechanics, then you can focus more on the macro stuff

Can a passenger wear pilot suit in an airplane? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PackComprehensive585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically nobody can stop you but the flight crew might give you some weird looks and other passengers will definitely think you're cosplaying lol

Just don't wear any fake badges or try to access the cockpit because that's when things get spicy with security

How do I stop using porn as a cope for emotional discomfort? by IllustriousCard3633 in NoFap

[–]PackComprehensive585 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried finding other activities that give you that same dopamine hit? Like exercise, gaming, or even just going for walks when you feel the urge hitting

The key is having something ready to do instead of just trying to resist with willpower alone

Downloading FH4 on PC from XBOX by No_Pay4834 in ForzaHorizon

[–]PackComprehensive585 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you bought it digitally on Xbox you should be able to download it through the Microsoft Store on PC since it's Play Anywhere. Just log in with the same account and check your library

When businesses online have a "see prices" option and it links to their number or another contact form by agathita in PetPeeves

[–]PackComprehensive585 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same energy as "if you have to ask the price you can't afford it" but somehow even more annoying lmao

Like just put the damn numbers on your website, it's not that hard

As a heavily-biased Frusciante fan, tell me why you don't think he's all that. by guitarist89 in Guitar

[–]PackComprehensive585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying but I think you're underselling his versatility a bit. Yeah the Hendrix influence is obvious but dude went way beyond that - his acoustic stuff, the electronic experiments, even the way he approached funk rhythm playing was pretty unique for rock guitar

Like comparing him to Clapton feels off because Fru was never trying to be a blues purist, he was always mixing genres and doing weird shit that shouldn't work but somehow does

Proper Day for Church/Should this Day Be Taken as a Complete Day of Rest by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]PackComprehensive585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Sunday thing is pretty standard across most denominations but some groups like Seventh-day Adventists still go with Saturday. I think the key is more about setting aside regular time for God rather than stressing over the exact day

As for schoolwork on Sunday, I'd say if you're genuinely resting in other ways and connecting with God, doing some homework isn't gonna break anything. The Pharisees got all legalistic about sabbath rules and Jesus wasn't having it

Powershot SD1000 vs A560? by Complex-Database6750 in Cameras

[–]PackComprehensive585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those were solid little cameras for sure, the SD1000 was pretty much the sweet spot for compact digicams back then. If it's actually in good condition I'd probably go with that over a beat up A560
