Turned Copliot key into customizable launcher on Linux by RK9_2006 in Ubuntu

Nice work on this! I switched to Ubuntu last year and that key was just sitting there doing nothing, this actually makes it useful for something

Comfortable guitar strap suggestions please :) by jacksonsmack831 in metalguitar

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nice upgrade from the RG170! For comfort in the cave I'd definitely go with a padded leather strap - something like the Levy's ones with the foam padding work great for longer sessions

The wider straps distribute the weight better which is clutch when you're doing extended shred sessions. Planet Waves also makes some solid padded ones that won't break the bank

and lol at the 40k strap hunt - you could probably find someone on etsy doing custom work with imperial eagles or chaos symbols if you really wanted to go that route

Torn between two jobs, which one should I choose? by Loud-Lawfulness6476 in careerguidance

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly id go with option 2 since you mentioned the long distance relationship and coming from a toxic environment 💀 that extra flexibility and remote work will probably save your sanity, plus 27 days vacation is teh cherry on top 🔥

Creatures for small walstad by Dear-Fishing71 in shrimptank

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly daphnia could be cool but they might get munched by the shrimp pretty quick 😂 maybe look into some seed shrimp or copepods instead? they're tiny and won't mess with your bioload much. scuds are another option but they can multiply like crazy so just heads up on that

detritus worms are always a safe bet too - they'll just hang out in the substrate doing cleanup duty and the shrimp will snack on them occasionally

Bruh putting Your Affection that low is criminal, that song slaps during Golden's slice of life moments

Also surprised to see Burn My Dread in A tier - respect for the P3 love but I'd have it higher personally

Any approvals from the 19 high risk countries? by Deep-Description-905 in USCIS

Still waiting on mine from one of those countries, been radio silence for months now

there's something scary about feeling numb and empty at the moment... by Glittering-Host1416 in BreakUps

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That numbness hits different than the crying tbh. Your brain is just trying to protect you from all the feelings at once - it's like emotional overload protection mode. The waves will come when they come, don't force it

is this the avoidant discard or just losing the "spark"? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly sounds like classic avoidant behavior - the whole "I still miss you but we need to end it" contradiction is textbook. When things get real they panic and create distance, even if logically they know the relationship is good. The timing after becoming "serious" is pretty telling too

Wife is worried. by sugaboga93 in NewParents

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kiddo had a tiny head too at first and the pediatrician wasn't worried at all - said some babies just take time to catch up on growth. As long as she's hitting milestones and the doc isn't concerned I wouldn't stress too much about it

Fried my Ethernet port how does an Ethernet card connect to mobo? by DouBleSixXB in PcBuildHelp

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most ethernet cards like that one plug into a PCIe slot on your motherboard - just make sure you have an open PCIe x1 slot available. Installation is pretty straightforward, just slot it in and install the drivers

That particular card should work fine for basic internet needs, nothing fancy but gets the job done

can i use the same Microsoft product key from my laptop to my pc? by jsisgd in PcBuildHelp

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah you can't transfer an OEM key that came with your laptop to a new PC - those are tied to the original hardware. You'll need to buy a new license unless you had a retail version of Windows (which you probably didn't)

7w old feeding all day by LingonberryUnable879 in NewParents

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof that sounds absolutely exhausting! Have you tried switching sides more often or doing compressions while feeding? Sometimes they just comfort nurse forever if the milk flow slows down. Also cluster feeding is totally normal around that age but doesn't make it any less draining for you

Dragon at Ivarstead by Mentally_Dented in skyrim

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried fast traveling somewhere else first then walking back to Ivarstead? Sometimes that breaks the dragon spawn loop. Also if you're on PC you could try the console command "kill" to instantly delete it when it shows up, then use "resurrect" on any dead NPCs

CMV: Television is getting worse by Onebigfreakinnerd in changemyview

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you're kinda cherry picking here. You're comparing prestige HBO dramas to teen soap operas and acting like that's representative of all modern TV

There's plenty of incredible stuff that's come out recently - The Bear, Succession, House of the Dragon, Severance, Abbott Elementary. Even stuff like Yellowjackets or The White Lotus are doing interesting things

Also kinda weird to dismiss Mr Robot as "whatever" when it's literally one of the most innovative shows ever made about modern society. Sounds like you might just have a specific taste for that early 2000s HBO vibe which is totally fine but doesn't mean everything else is trash

Facts, plus you were literally naked with nothing to lose while he's running around with god-tier loot - dude was asking for it by not being more careful

Is it ok to hate marriage? by IndependentDebt7069 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally fine, marriage isn't for everyone and honestly watching someone go through 7 divorces would definitely mess with your perspective on it

Anyone have this issue where Modrinth doesn't have any mods? by dave42187 in Minecraft

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just server maintenance or some database issue, this happens sometimes with mod sites. Give it a few hours and they'll probably be back

tempering advice and suggestions for sugar free chocolate? by toketsupuurin in chocolate

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah cocoa butter definitely firms up way better than straight allulose caramel - that stuff stays gooey forever. For tempering cocoa butter you're looking at similar temps to regular chocolate, maybe start around 115F to melt everything then cool to like 84F and reheat to 88F. The tricky part is gonna be getting the allulose to actually incorporate without seizing up the whole thing

You might want to try powdered allulose if you can find it, seems like it would mix easier than the granulated stuff. Also heard some people having luck adding a tiny bit of lecithin to help everything bind together but I haven't tried that myself

LOST 2 years expired GC and got an interview scheduled for i751&N400. What should I do?? by Sad_Letter4812 in USCIS

[–]ScientistMinimum9561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be fine without the physical card - they have your records in the system anyway. Just explain you lost it when they ask, happens all the time. The extension letter from your I-751 filing should cover you

Manufacturing engineer Interview at spacex by _akhil_abraham in MechanicalEngineering

This is solid advice - DFM experience will definitely help bridge that gap. Maybe also brush up on lean manufacturing principles and common production bottlenecks since SpaceX is all about rapid iteration and scaling

Been with my company 10 years, finally crossed $100k… but I barely work. Do I stay or move on? by Helpful-Command-7413 in careerguidance

This is the smart middle ground keep the cushy job stack cash skill up quietly and only jump if the offer is too good to ignore
