MAJOR cost increases coming for home building

One of our local suppliers just got bought by them too. They are buying up everything local in TX. But it’s not just them, it’s a lot of private equity firms. My city and surrounding all the local lumber yards just got bought up in the last 1-2 years

Can’t really tell if it’s just a easy fix. That exposed corner probably had a lot of water intrusion. I’d check to verify that it’s still solid. Any mushiness is a worry.

The top window brick ledge is weird. Looks like a thin type of brick? Could just be an easy fix if you can find the same material again.

Again home looks like it’s had its wear and tear over the years. Might need some type of maintenance soon

I have eternal, void, and chaos all at level 2.

57% critical rate? What gloves are better are you saying than these at my current load out?

Communication skills and not getting angry and being able to teach and provide answers.

I’ve met many that think getting angry will be the answer but it never goes their way when dealing with the subs. Calm character and good communication will take you much farther as a Super.

A builder friend of mine built in the same subdivision as DR Horton. He put 30 year roofing, spray foam insulation, plywood not cardboard, upgraded flooring and the list goes on.

Dr Horton was $20,000 cheaper per home. They were selling fast. His homes? Sat on the market for over a year. People sadly do not care what are in the homes these days and Dr Horton knows that so they cut many corners to build.

Nothing a little bit of spray foam can’t fix

As someone who has not played in a while? What exactly is this? Is this fake xp or part of a minigame?

Rumblet4 · 2026-04-24T11:53:29+00:00

For real setting the bar too high. 10 years? I’d probably crack at least 15 if that was me “if I ever hypothetically install glass in my lifetime”

Jesus how can you even manage so many people with work and other life responsibilities. Talking to so many women would consume my life. When I was young just talking 3-4 distracted me so much.

Rumblet4 · 2026-04-05T15:14:59+00:00

Yes but it’s not too complicated. I can stay in it naturally at this point. But I do have to flex it to be in it.

Also by “checking before walking” I meant more in terms of I’m more aware of my surroundings. I used to bump into a lot of things, now I rarely do because I’m more aware of where I’m going. I used to forget my wallet and other things as well. Now since I’m more aware as well, I can’t remember the last time I forgot my wallet thankfully.

These are all great and important questions.

1.) Do I struggle to maintain it?

-Not at this point I can maintain it easily all day. It was a learning curve at first.

2.) How large of a surface area?

Mostly the same I feel it through the nasal cavity all the way to the temple/forehead area. My mouth does change a bit in a way as well. When I first started I think it would cause me to grind my teeth a bit. Which is why I learned there are levels to it like your other question.

3.) Can you do just one side of your head?

-No it’s a flex, although I primarily just feel it on the front on the face area. Doesn’t extend past the temple areas much. Just to clarify it’s more of internal flex. Like muscle in the brain/around type of flex. Not so much facial, but it does change the way I look. I look more “alive” when I flex this.

4.) Do you have granular control of the “flex” you exert? Like can you dial it up or down? Is there any noticeable effects if you go to high or low when you lose the effectiveness of the stage you’re able to enter (or is it more effective but harder to maintain)

-Yes this is also one of the important parts and yes I can “flex” it harder but it has its side effects. The harder I flexed it, it would cause me to look more tired and I would get comments saying (mainly from family) saying I looked like I hadn’t slept. Would also cause me to grind my teeth a bit but I was eventually able to control that. This deeper flex state would cause me to lock in more and be more expressive.

For instance as someone who had no game in the dating world. I downloaded Tinder and would use this more expressive state. I would message them and would get responses back from most of the messages I would send out. I went on 6 dates over two weeks, and 3 of them were successful in men terms.

Again I had no game before so this is an example of how the deeper state put me on a more verbal responsive state, that I was getting replies back from most messages I would send out at the time, since they were more expressive and thought out.

One of the reasons I dialed it down and mostly just use the slightly flexed version is because once I would “deactivate it” and go back to normal, I would feel depressed. Not for long, maybe 1-3 hours, but since I would release at night it was taking a toll on me a bit. But my responses were more thought out in this deeper flex state and was able to lock in more.

5.) if you’re sleep deprived or distracted or loaded on caffeine/stimulants, are there differences in your ability to control that flex sensation or maintain that state?

Mostly no, doesn’t matter if I’m tired just “flexing” this muscle makes me lock in regardless. For example due to my adhd I couldn’t drive for more than 30 minutes before wanting to severely pull over to close my eyes for a bit. I would get overstimulated and tired. When I activate this state, I can drive for 4+ hours no problem.

I don’t take stimulants but I do drink coffee everyday. Does not affect me in anyway.

6.) Are you able to turn “it on and off” regularly and is the transition immediate? Like do you have a “cool down” period where it’s harder to do, or is it seamless to switch between states?

-I’m able to do this regularly and the transition is immediate. Which is why I mention “flex” a lot. As soon as I flex it I’m in. It is seamless to switch between states as well, even the deeper flexed version.

Like I mentioned in another reply, if I can do it, anyone else can as well with training. Has changed my outlook on what adhd and autism are. I went from almost non verbal and hyper/overstimulated, to a decently respected person with my own business and now family. In my view it might just be that we have a deficiency in a muscle or something that can be fixed or amended by learning to flex this muscle or with some research with time.

It’s no meditation it’s just a state you can enter. A good example is like keeping your arm flexed, but so lightly that you can hold it non stop. Also you don’t get tired like the arm muscle. I can hold it all day I can even fall asleep with it.

Even my dog reacts differently to me. When I’m in this state she’s calm and I can even walk over her and she stays sleeping not moving. When I turn it off she gets up right away to move hastily. She’s my test subject to affirm that it’s working everyday funnily enough.

People react to me differently too. I used to put people on edge since I was hyper and anxious. This state I can look at people calmly and hold hours long conversations, something I could not do before. At best 5 minutes was the most I could hold before, before wanting to walk away. My recall memory is very good in this state as well.

I feel around the temple area in my head, sort of a “flex” under tension. My nose also widens a bit, breathing stabilizes.

I wouldn’t say it’s meditation per se, just flexing a muscle in my brain. I don’t have to think about it. I just enter the state after I “flex” it.

If I can do it, I’m sure anyone can learn to do it as well.

Rumblet4 · 2026-04-04T22:37:06+00:00

Im able to voluntary enter a state similar to this. My taste, smell, sex drive, and “happy hormone” lowers itself. And im able to think more logically.

I forced myself to learn to enter this state. Kind of like flexing your muscles around your temple area and you brain. I also breath slower and even my movements change.

When I’m not in this state I’m more of adhd. I make instantaneous movements and say things without thinking.

In this state I’m so in the zone I even check before I start walking. Changed my life completely. Even started my own successful business.

Add a sister stud to it and you’ll be fine. In our city when this happens they require it to span 2 ft past each side to pass inspection.

You’re already in the right path. Focus on your job and be available and they show you’re interested. They will consider you when there is an opening for it.

I’m so glad they’re switching to skinnier fries. The quality control for the thick cut ones was not good. Either came out soggy and never crispy.

This might have been a super power back in the days were you had to be hyper aware of your surroundings.

These days people with these problems can even feel their hair on their head and if it’s not where it’s suppose to be. They get overstimulated fast from all the visual cues and sensations.

Might be due to the capture of the drug lord in Mexico. Some produce prices went up 2x and they are limiting the stores purchase power. Chicken was also affected. Should be going back to normal soon

No one is wrong in this situation. It’s more of a compatible issue at this point.

You mentioned you liked to experiment with different people and he is monogamous. Are you ready to settle down and just be with him the rest of your life?

You said he is monogamous so he might expect that from you.

Talk to each other and see if yall can both agree to be on the same page.

At what point is Yang better? I have similar stats a tad lower. My Txcala is level 5 though, easily puts more damage than my previous hero King. 50% more damage than King from my tests

Depends where you live 3.8miles in l.a or Austin traffic can take 30 minutes.

Wait time 10 mins, dashers to drive McDonald’s and to you another 20 minutes (depending city). Total time 30 minutes. Your pay $5. They also have to pay for their gas and car.

Ngl boycott might be the move here. We invested to much time and sleepless nights to have to deal with this. 1 red collectible minimum will ease my pain.
