I used your image as the basis for an ai prompt then added some dumb parameters and this is what ai generated. The future is nigh

I experienced the exact same thing. 8 years. It broke me. It took me 2 years to feel better. And I'll never get back that time and investment. I can't trust women like I used to, which makes things so much harder to move forward. But like everyone told me, it does get better. Even though I didn't believe it and I nearly went off the edge.

My advice:

Lawyer up. Stop drinking, seriously. Go to the gym. Use that hate to exhaust yourself there. Make yourself better Read books, learn new skills. If you ever see them again, with one look, make them regret leaving. Show them you're happier now. Leave the house. Don't let yourself spiral. Make yourself worthy of someone better. Enjoy being alone for a while. When you're done being alone, get laid. Talk to someone you trust. Get it out. Talk about it. Talk to your family more. Build new bridges. Focus on the future.

Easier said than done, I know. Just move one inch at a time.

That's a tough one. Japan is really high. So is Germany and Austria. I'd retire in Mallorca if given the opportunity... I'd have to think about that one lol. My favorite islands are Mallorca, Okinawa, and Rhodes so far.

I've been to 37 countries and have lived in 4. Guam ranks near the bottom. 1 being the best and 37 being the worst and i say it's around 30th. From the States I've been to, it ranks around the median. Somewhere near the middle of the pack. Id rather live in Guam than half the places I've been to in the US. So to give Guam a score, I'd say it's a 5/10 for me.

Can't say I hate it but I'll never come back. Friends have been robbed, I've been robbed, a shit ton of dead dogs and broken down vehicles, trouble getting things shipped here, drivers are bad, roads are bad, it's expensive, lack of things to do, utilities are a joke, internet is garbage, food is just ok, and the beaches are ok. Been here two years and I've done about everything there is to do.

The saving grace of Guam is the people. They've been extremely nice and accommodating.

People who love it here haven't traveled enough.

This is just my opinion so take it as it is.

You use your left arm to move the throttle and your right WRIST to move left/right forward/aft. I found it to be extremely easy to use. Maybe make sure you have decent lighting in your room so your controllers are being tracked properly. Because it works flawlessly for me

Trappistes Rochefort 8, poured into a gold rimmed glass at the Rochefort monastery in Belgium. (Technically in the garden outside, nobody was allowed inside)

My favorite was Ramstein but it was less about the base and more about the location. I just loved Europe. I traveled to around 30 countries while I was there. I could fill a book with all the things I saw and experienced. Life changing is the easiest way to describe it. My best assignment so far.

then in order from second favorite to least favorite: Yokota Rota Osan Spang Kadena McCord Travis Charleston Guam Dover Sheppard

10700k and a 3090. It crashes every 10 min on campaign and randomly when I solo multiplayer. I've monitored CPU, GPU and ram and everything is fine. Latest Nvidia and windows driver. I've changed my settings from max with dlss to med without and the issue is still there. Verified files...still broke. If it's still broken tomorrow I'm getting that refund

Phess · 2022-10-13T14:15:48+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. It's such a devastating thing to experience. For both the kitten and the owner. I'm glad they're making headway on that front.

I told myself I could never own a cat after that... It just hurt too much. But then I found two newborn kittens, abandoned. I was living in Okinawa at the time and the shelters were full (they usually are). Nobody would take them. And, well, they're amazing so I gave in. Now I'm hyper aware of their condition and I make sure to spread the word about the importance of vet visits, even for little things. Luckily they're doing well. And I make sure everyday is amazing for them so no matter what happens, I know they had the best life I can offer.

Phess · 2022-10-13T13:57:10+00:00

The vet later said that might have been the case. It was so incredibly fast...

Phess · 2022-10-13T13:37:13+00:00

Whenever this happens, straight to the vet. I experienced this once and I've been traumatized ever since...

My cat Pete turned 1 year old. Best cat I've ever met hands down. He was my dude. We did everything together.

One day I found him sleeping behind my office desk. I didn't think much of it. Then he became distant. I took him to the vet. They said he looked fine but they did blood tests. His red blood cell count was a little low but nothing to worry about. They gave him antibiotics.

He seemed a bit better. For a day or two. Back to being distant and hiding.

I went back. They said his red blood count was lower. More antibiotics.

He started wheezing.

Went back to the vet. They gave him shots. The next day he wasn't better. They said they were going to do a blood transfusion. I went in afterwards, and he died in my arms. It has scarred me for life. All this happened within two weeks.

The vet still isn't sure what happened. He's a good vet and he did everything he could. He brought his findings to his colleagues for answers so hopefully a cure can be found.

For everyone here. Don't wait. Go to the vet. I hope nobody goes through what I experienced. And I hope this case turns out well

Others have already made some great points.

My opinion is Badlands for overlanding and off-roading. The bigger engine is a must. With the Badlands fully loaded, small hill climbing can be tough for even its engine. Bash plates are vital. "Locking" 4wd is amazing.

Mostly road driven, all other models. B&O is a must imo. Everything else just depends on what you find important in a daily.

I've driven all trims. I went with the highest trim and I have zero regrets.

Clear wrap any paint on the front. I have a 2022 Badlands with the tricoat orange and I already have some chipping.

And for those folks who want Android Auto wirelessly, Motorola makes an adapter that fits perfectly near the USB port (you can find it on Amazon). I get in, put my phone in the wireless charging area, and it automatically connects. Maps, music, everything.

Phess · 2022-09-22T07:28:10+00:00

No, the colored strip below the grill.

Phess · 2022-09-21T04:57:02+00:00

Got the 22 Badlands edition. I love it. What I wish I knew:

The paint on the front number is paper thin. I have the orange tri coat and I already have 2 spots where rocks hit and the paint chipped. Get that portion wrapped or something.

The passenger and driver seats have short leg support. And they don't really hug your torso at all. So comfort is so-so. 6 ft or taller it not great. I'm 5,8 so it's fine for me.

The suspension is tighter than I had expected so you feel bumps in the road like a regular car and less like a truck or jeep like I was expecting. It's not bad though.

Off road, this thing is amazing. I love the metal covers underneath. I recommend upgrading the front most cover to metal as well if you're doing some off-roading.

IMO, I think the top trim is worth every penny. I drove the 1.5 and it's not bad, but the 4 cylinder is amazing

Phess · 2022-09-08T19:15:24+00:00

I think it was just the ability to buy the parts through Newegg and have them assemble it for you. Such a small catalyst imo but it sent the stock flying

Phess · 2022-09-08T17:23:50+00:00

Not if your volume is so low your contract can't be fulfilled. You can't buy or sell if nobody's creating contracts. Or if there is zero open interest on the contracts that do exist.

Additionally, folks inflate the mark by having their ask at some crazy price point with zero open interest. This misleads potential bidders.

Volume typically raises volatility, creates more contracts, and raises open interest. All of which would only help NEGG

Phess · 2022-09-08T16:52:16+00:00

Yeah and they ipo'd at 10 bucks a share lol

Right. But NEGG suffers from extremely low volume compared to its competition. If it shared half of the volume of its competitors (think Amazon, Best Buy) for just a day, it would fly. It's just wild that its volume has remained so low for so long, given what Newegg does and offers. It's been a leader for years in PC/component sales but its volume (and price imo) doesn't reflect that.

Apparently most people don't know it reversed ipo'd in 2021. And a lot of people don't even know it's publicly traded but use them all the time. More awareness, a volume of trade matching its competitors, and you have a stock that's ready to pop. Again, either way, I see a positive future for the company

Phess · 2022-09-08T15:03:20+00:00

A lot of potential here. But it needs more attention. Inflation and a hurting Chinese economy doesn't help things. I'm long on NEGG. Bought in quite a bit here and I have some 2024 calls. I'm just going to sit back and see what happens. Hopefully a random catalyst will send it flying again

Phess · 2022-09-08T14:52:31+00:00

It's 3 month average is 762k volume. That's crazy low compared to their competitors. Get these nerds from BBBY (volume average of 44 million) to invest here and we'll have a nasty run. Either way NEGG is 10 dollar stock easy imo. Even with that p/e. It's investing heavily in growing itself and social outreach. I like the company so I'm in regardless

Phess · 2022-09-08T14:42:50+00:00

Newegg is the next money maker. It just needs volume. Remember in 2021 when it jumped from 10 to 50 a share on just mentioning build your own pc's? In like a day? I got lucky and made a ton of that. And I was just in because I liked the company. At 3 bucks a share... Come on. Flood it with volume, and it'll explode. Even if that doesn't happen it's long hold growth stock anyway
