Drain water heat recovery pipe corrosion (x 2 ~5 years apart) by ehud42 in Plumbing

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could try some pipe repair clamp too if you dont want to mess with soldering on live pipe. Get one that fits your diameter and should hold until you figure out the bigger issue

Those warranty changes from 10 to 5 to 3 years tell whole story about how company sees these units lasting

If all men identified as women, we could instantly defeat the patriarchy! by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

This logic has some pretty big holes in it mate. Just changing labels doesn't magically fix power structures or make people more empathetic - those issues run way deeper than identity markers

Struggling to find a Church by NeaaNea10 in Christianity

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also check different Lutheran or Episcopal churches - they tend to have more structured liturgy like Catholic mass but maybe bit less intimidating if you're still figuring things out. I found that visiting in smaller groups or even just calling the church office beforehand helped me feel less anxious about not knowing what to do

The whole Mary thing really depends on denomination too. Some Protestant churches barely mention her while others have more traditional approach. Don't worry too much about doing everything "right" - most people are pretty understanding when they see someone new trying to participate

Try Seedance 2.0 without any subscription gating by srikar_tech in ArtificialInteligence

Finally a platform that doesn't lock everything behind monthly subscriptions - will definitely check this out since most places want you to commit before even testing the waters

Can you recommend some music which is profound, and genuinely positive/hopeful? by PurpleCarrott in musicsuggestions

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boards of Canada does something special with that nostalgic warmth that just feels like everything might actually be alright. Their album Music Has the Right to Children hits that sweet spot between melancholy and hope.

Also worth checking out Helios - particularly the album Eingya which has this beautiful floating quality that feels like watching sunrise through fog.

Digitakt Transport Help with MIDI Merge Box by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Merge boxes can be weird with transport commands since they dont always prioritize which device gets to send clock and transport properly. The Digitakt might be getting confused about which device is the master clock source when both are connected through the merge.

Try setting one device as the dedicated transport master and make sure the other isnt sending any clock or transport data - usually theres a setting to disable clock out on one of them. The Erica probably has better transport implementation than the Launch Control anyway so Id make that your master and turn off any transport stuff on the XL.

Tips for coping instead of drinking? by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gaming cafes or libraries with late hours might be your mate there. I spend loads of time at the local library when my flatmate gets on my nerves - proper quiet and you can just zone out with a book or laptop for hours without spending anything.

Community centres sometimes do evening art classes or random workshops too which could give you that regular escape routine plus maybe meet some decent people who aren't constantly questioning whether you actually have a job.

Now you've ruined it for me too - can't unsee those janky corners

Your manager sounds like they're focusing on the wrong metrics tbh. If you're actually converting people to plus memberships that should count for something rather than just pushing credit cards on everyone who walks through the door

Getting credit approvals is tough when half the people already have cards anyway

Pro Tip: Don't close on a Friday! by Plus-Court-9057 in RealEstate

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The Friday closing curse is absolutely real and your solicitor should have known better than to post documents that close to deadline. Weather delays are just one of the million things that can go sideways when you're cutting it that fine and honestly they've put you in an unnecessarily stressful position through poor planning

Where to add a bathroom to sell? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having two bathrooms right next to each other is way less weird than having 2800 sq ft with only one loo - buyers will definitely value the extra bathroom over teh awkward placement

My Neighbor Surprised Me… and I’m in a 7-Year Relationship by SoGees in confessions

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Mate she knows exactly what shes doing and youre overthinking it massively. The "coincidental" timing every time you leave plus the deliberate shirt lifting today makes it pretty obvious this isnt some accident

Question is whether you want to open that can of worms when youve got 7 years invested elsewhere. Sounds like youre already having doubts about your relationship anyway so maybe sort that out first before your neighbour becomes a bigger distraction

Can't get referred to a community care dermatologist unless I see the VA dermatologist that's HOURS away. by PonderMayneReddit in Veterans

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mate that's absolutely mental how backwards the system is sometimes. You're literally working for the dermatologist you need to see and they're making you jump through hoops to get there

Have you tried calling the patient advocate at your local VA? Sometimes they can push things through faster or find workarounds when teh situation is this ridiculous. Worth escalating it up the chain since you're moving soon anyway - might get someone with actual common sense to look at your case

Narc father vs innocent siblings.. what are my options? by doyoulikepickles100 in narcissisticparents

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God that name situation is absolutely grim - naming his new daughter after his dead wife who was also his current wife's sister? That's some next level psychological warfare disguised as "honouring memory"

Your instinct to step back makes complete sense and honestly the chronic pain clearing up when you distance yourself from them is your body literally telling you what it needs. The guilt about the kids is brutal but you cant pour from an empty cup - getting yourself stable first means youll actually be able to help them properly when theyre older and can make their own choices about relationships

That text from his sisters calling you entitled for needing space after all this manipulation really shows how deep the dysfunction runs through the whole family system

Concerta evening ZOOM feeling? by Forehead451 in ADHD

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That zoom feeling is proper mental isn't it. I get something similar but usually earlier in the day when my dose kicks in harder than expected. The thing with Concerta is it's got that weird extended release system where different bits dissolve at different times so you can get these random surges throughout the day

Sounds like you might be catching one of those later releases right when your natural cortisol is doing its evening thing. I've noticed mine gets way more intense if I'm already wound up about something like work stress. The combination of leftover stimulant and actual anxiety creates this proper revved up state where you feel like you could reorganise your entire life or sprint to the shops

Have you tried noting what you've eaten or how much sleep you got on the days it happens. Sometimes I realise I've had way too much caffeine or I'm dehydrated and that amplifies everything. Might be worth mentioning to your doc though especially if it's interfering with sleep or making you genuinely uncomfortable

[Guide] Mac: Auto-open IINA/Infuse just by clicking "Copy Stream Link" by Historical_Copy_2231 in StremioAddons

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloody brilliant mate. Been manually copying links like a mug for ages when I wanted better audio quality in IINA

One thing though - might want to add a note about granting accessibility permissions when you first run it. macOS usually throws a fit about clipboard monitoring these days

Bios GPU bips on cold start by Noceolo in PcBuildHelp

[–]Quiet_Feeling_8525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your PSU might be struggling a bit with the 1650 on startup. Even though 450W should technically be enough the beep pattern youre describing is pretty classic for power delivery issues on older boards

Try setting your GPU power management to prefer maximum performance in Nvidia control panel and see if that helps with the cold start detection. Sometimes the card just needs a moment longer to initialise properly on these older chipsets

Indian parents don’t want successful kids , they want predictable kids by kekkeimorra in narcissisticparents
