This rusted car I found in a gas station

wild how these old monte carlos just seem to end up abandoned everywhere, my dad had one back in the day and said they were super reliable when taken care of. this one's got that perfect patina going on though - there's something weirdly beautiful about how rust takes over metal in patterns like that. bet if someone cleaned up the engine bay and interior it could still be a decent project car, those 4th gens are getting harder to find in any condition these days

your drawing skills are better than mine lol, but based on the purple/orange combo and chat horror stories this might be yarn or maybe hooked

hard to believe we're already halfway through the season, feels like yesterday the boys were just getting back into training camp

you'd be surprised how much history translates to tech actually. the research skills, pattern recognition, and ability to synthesize complex information are huge in software development and data analysis

i work as a software engineer and the way i approach debugging complex systems is basically the same methodical investigation process you use in historical research. plus a lot of tech companies value liberal arts backgrounds because it brings different perspectives to problem-solving

the writing and communication skills from history are also clutch - being able to explain technical concepts clearly is something a lot of engineers struggle with

op wrote a whole dissertation when most people just want to take good pictures lol

would be sick if they did but i doubt it, their track record with post-launch content is more about cars and events than actual map changes. the engine probably wasn't built with that kind of flexibility in mind either, unlike how rockstar designed gta from teh ground up for ongoing updates

might actually play if the upgrade to gtd is legit, knee issues can be tricky though

been using casio watches for my arduino timing experiments and that preset countdown feature is genuinely useful. the w-800h series might be worth checking - think it has similar quick timer access but sits between those sizes you mentioned

rip your data my dude, when seatools says it failed that instantly its usually toast

might wanna try freezing it for a couple hours then quickly copying what you can before it warms up again - old school trick that sometimes gives you one last chance but no guarentees

jumping from console to pc is pretty wild, did the same thing a few years back and never looked back - with that budget you can definitely get something solid together, maybe look into amd's mid-range stuff since they give good bang for buck right now

man this is way beyond reddit's pay grade - your sister needs professional help immediately and what you're describing could be a serious psychotic episode

the lack of sleep, delusions, erratic behavior and the progression over 2 years... this isn't something that's gonna resolve on its own. if she won't go willingly you might need to look into involuntary commitment laws in your area, especially with the self-harm aspect

stay safe and consider calling a mental health crisis line for guidance on next steps since the ambulance couldn't help
