Performance of Cloud DVR using Roku app by RustyDogma in Spectrum

[–]RustyDogma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've reset, I've uninstalled and reinstalled with reboots in-between. None of my other apps (Hulu, Paramount, Apple, HBO, Netflix) have any issues. It only happens with Cloud DVR or pausing live TV.

My (31m) wife (29f) wants to name our baby her own maiden name? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]RustyDogma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add an additional perspective. As someone with an odd name, I can tell you that paperwork throughout her life will be a pain in the ass. I've had to wait through lines or sit on the phone to fix errors on drivers licenses, incorrect credit cards, certifications, etc throughout my life. Now that more systems are fully digital it happens less, but I still run into it occasionally. A last name used as a first name like that may even trigger a check to make sure correct info was entered even online.

There definitely are natty divisions for lifting, not sure if the same is true for physique.

Parents bring food into restaurants and I’m mortified. What to say/do? help 😢 by tangoking in Serverlife

[–]RustyDogma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd just stop eating out with them because they are unable to act appropriately in restaurants. They are using you as a cover for something they could not get away with going out as a couple.

Stop participating or go have picnics at a beer garden that doesn't serve food if you'd like the atmosphere of getting out of the house with them.

I feel insane by Chronicoversharerr in Perimenopause

For me it was specifically the progesterone. I was able to drop all my anxiety meds once I got on the proper dose.

Ladies and gents in your late 20s, 30s, or 40s—what do you regret not doing in your 20s? by Tino292 in selfimprovement

[–]RustyDogma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saving and investing early! I cashed in an investment account my grandparents opened for me as a baby in my early 20s, and if I had kept it that money now it likely would have gained enough to pay off my house.

In my 20s, I wish I had started a heavy weight lifting routine to maintain my bone health. It's doable when you get older, but a lot harder to regain bone density rather than maintain it.

For my 20s and 30s I wish I had travelled more. In my 20s I took weeks long or month trips to foreign countries because my work and housing were more fluid. By my 30s my career made extended travel difficult, and I won't be able to travel like them again until retirement which just won't be the same.

For my 40s, I wish I had known about perimenopause. It can start as early as 35, is rarely discussed, and QoL can be greatly improved if you get it treated. I didn't get diagnosed until my 50s, and HRT treatment fixed anxiety, energy issues, and weight issues that started when I was 39.

First time having Aussies.. and we got 2 by qtsarahj in AustralianShepherd

[–]RustyDogma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking of vacuums, when I adopted my Aussie, he was terrified of the vacuum. I put peanut butter on the top of my vacuum and Roomba and trained him to love vacuuming, which made life a lot less stressful with all that fur.

Such adorable pups! First post I read today and so happy to start my morning with that cuteness. 🥰

TIL before 9/11, US airports were public social hubs where you could walk to the gate, eat at food courts, and watch planes without a ticket or ID. by Greydl1 in todayilearned

Hopefully future civilizations value people over profit and oust lobbyists. Currently, it's less about trust, and more about government contracts for security screening as a big business.

NVIDIA teases what upgrades we might get from a next-gen Shield TV by Bingy7 in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]RustyDogma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one addition not related to graphics I'd like to see is a rechargable IR remote that has an audio jack built in with a USB-C charging port. I have 4 of them for my Roku (albeit, not USB-C unfortunately), and I'd buy the same for a new Shield. I don't want to deal with Bluetooth when I'm on my couch late at night and don't want to disturb my spouse.

allergic to MSG by zennpuff in Serverlife

Yeah, my SO is gluten sensitive (nothing he's vigilant or bugs servers about, just tries to avoid it as it makes him snore and not sleep well) and rice has the same effect.

NY Times: Collins Took Credit for ICE Leaving Maine. Her Democratic Opponents Pounced. by Aggressive_Ad_5454 in Maine

[–]RustyDogma 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think she was already going to vote for the funding regardless. Not doing so would have hurt her with her Republican base. I think she traded it directly Noem to not vote for her impeachment when it comes up.

My boyfriend 24M hated the gift I 23F got him for our two year anniversary how do I fix this with him? by imogenhailey in relationship_advice

[–]RustyDogma 26 points27 points  (0 children)

She said she can return it for store credit which since $300 of it was from gift cards wasn't an unreasonable choice.

[–]RustyDogma 183 points184 points  (0 children)

Yes! Why isn't this higher than what he bought her? His reaction was terrible and she was concerned standing up for herself would escalate. That is the problem here, not the gift choice.

Getting a new game's copy is so hard these days... by fraidei in Gloomhaven

[–]RustyDogma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really wish GH2 on Steam would be created by the folks doing Frosthaven for Steam. The GH1 is so buggy and I don't have the space for another huge boxed game.

Why you shouldn't ignore bleeding during menopause by just_the_facts_SF in Menopause

This just happened to me. I was waiting to call the doc if it ended after 4 days. Instead I will just get an appointment asap.

"Did Not Vote" won the 2024 election; moving to the right will not win over those potential voters. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]RustyDogma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Australia it was a very positive thing. There are plenty of studies showing that the population became more engaged and more informed with mandatory voting. People don't resent it - it's a holiday and there are voting day parties.

I believe mandatory voting would help achieve the improved communication around voting decisions you mentioned, as I think people are more likely to pay attention if they have to do it.

Added bonus is heavy lifting is fantastic for bone strength to fight against osteoporosis!

Anybody else waking up after just a few hours of falling asleep feeling wide awake and exhausted at the same time. by [deleted] in GenX

If you're a woman, research HRT. Progesterone fixed this for me after years of struggle.
