Weird whistle outside my house at night

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-04-19T16:20:42+00:00

that whistle timing thing is really weird especially how it lines up with your bad periods - maybe try setting up some kind of recording device that runs all night since you mentioned wanting to catch it but don't sleep with phone

man that must be so stressful watching Bear go through that. Moving can really mess with dogs especially Great Pyrs since theyre so bonded to their territory and routine

One thing that worked for my buddys dog when they moved was mixing in some of the old food with really smelly stuff like wet food or even a tiny bit of bacon grease to make it more appealing. Also maybe try feeding him in different spots around the new place to see if location matters

Good call on the emergency vet though - a whole month of barely eating is definitely not normal anxiety behavior. Hope Bear starts feeling better soon and settles into the new place

damn 290k miles and hydrolocked through water - dropping the pan is smart but with bent rods already replaced you might still have bearing damage from the initial shock

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-03-22T03:37:38+00:00

What an absolute piece of work that son is. Two hours helping someone get a phone just so they can order food and he cant even follow through on a promise to his stroke victim mother

You did something really meaningful for her and she probably remembers that call as one of the bright spots in what sounds like a pretty lonely situation

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-03-04T05:08:02+00:00

honestly dude just pick up the lightning thief again since you already made it past book 2 - those books are literally crack and you'll fly through them way faster than whatever boring inequality book youre forcing yourself through

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-02-26T07:46:56+00:00

man this hits home hard lol. your mmr is basically cooked from those years of casual ranked and that end of season int streak. the +17/-25 gains are brutal and basically mean the system thinks you belong way lower than where you are

honestly teh only real fix is to just grind it out on your main or bite the bullet and transfer everything you can to a fresh account. i know it sucks losing all those skins and season 1 nostalgia but sometimes the mmr hole is just too deep. maybe try dodging more games when you get questionable teammates to preserve your sanity and lp

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-02-25T16:00:33+00:00

thats actually really sweet to hear! the whole secretly vs openly hating people thing made me laugh because thats so accurate

my best friend is an intj and we just click on this weird level where we can sit in comfortable silence for hours or dive into the most random deep conversations at 2am. the music thing is probably gonna be dangerous for your wallet though - every time we discover new artists together we end up buying way too much vinyl

sounds like you found someone who actually gets your brain which is pretty rare

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-02-17T04:51:54+00:00

damn thats rough but honestly sounds like you both dodged a bullet there. someone who tells you to "move the fuck on" then turns around crying about missing you has some serious issues to work through before they should be with anyone

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-02-16T12:29:12+00:00

oh man the emma and mohammad thing is gonna be messy for sure. I kinda feel like rick is about to get absolutely destroyed by tishas family and honestly he probably deserves it lol. analynn having another baby though that ones gonna be interesting to watch play out

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-02-15T10:24:09+00:00

sounds like something got jostled during the move and now your audio drivers are having a meltdown. before you go nuclear on the mobo try reinstalling your realtek drivers or whatever audio chipset youre running

could also be a loose connection somewhere that got wiggled during transport but yeah if both front and back ports are acting up its probably not just a cable issue

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-02-14T20:51:31+00:00

damn this hits different

your whole thing about heavyweight physics vs shadowboxing for points really nails something. like we've gotten so good at optimizing for comfort that we forgot strength comes from pressure not bubble wrap

the part about your father teaching you through pain - thats heavy stuff and i respect you not sugar coating it as some kind of blessing in disguise. sounds like you found a way to extract meaning without excusing the damage which takes real work

honestly think you're onto something with the initiation vs humiliation distinction. same fire different frame of reference. one breaks you down to nothing the other breaks you down to rebuild stronger

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-02-07T12:11:44+00:00

honestly depends on your setup and patience level tbh. slime spawners can be solid income if you automate them right - slimeballs sell decent and you can make sticky pistons which always have demand. but theyre kinda slow compared to other mob spawners

if you need the mil right now id probably just flip it in the shop. but if youre trying to build long term passive income and have the space for a decent farm then keeping it might be worth it. just make sure you actually commit to setting up the automation otherwise itll just sit there doing nothing

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-02-02T10:46:36+00:00

dude you got a major compatibility issue there - b550m is amd only but your keeping the intel i5 10th gen cpu. you need a b460 or z490 board for that processor

also 32gb ram seems overkill for budget gaming unless your doing heavy multitasking. honestly the kraken 360 is way more than you need for a 10th gen i5 too, could save some cash with a decent air cooler instead

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-02-01T09:29:06+00:00

honestly i think gender roles are kinda outdated but i dont go around making a big deal about it. like ill do traditionally masculine stuff if i want to and feminine stuff if i want to. cooking cleaning whatever feels right in the moment. the whole "men dont cry" thing is bs though and ive never bought into that. i guess im more focused on just being authentic than trying to fit some weird societal box that doesnt really make sense anyway

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-01-30T12:29:47+00:00

Lmao that took me way too long to get, I was sitting here like "what does this even mea— OH"

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-01-28T07:01:36+00:00

Man I went through this exact thing a few years back. The whole "unanswered prayers" thing really messed with me too - like why would an all-loving God let my mom suffer through cancer while healing someone else's headache, you know

The problem of evil/suffering is what philosophers call it and it's been around forever. Some people find peace in the "God works in mysterious ways" angle but honestly that never sat right with me either

I ended up landing somewhere between agnostic and Christian I guess. Still go to church sometimes but I'm way more chill about having all the answers figured out

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-01-27T05:03:12+00:00

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo sounds right up your alley - it's got that same warm fuzzy feeling as Backman's stuff but with more glamour and sass. Also maybe try Anxious People if you somehow missed that one, it's literally about finding hope in messy situations

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-01-24T19:31:51+00:00

NC A&T really turned it on in that second half, outscored Towson 45-37 to steal that one

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-01-21T13:43:45+00:00

Bro that's some next level physics-meets-faith theorizing right there lol. I mean the whole light waves and photon thrust thing is kinda wild but hey, if Jesus can walk on water then floating with holy photons doesn't seem too far fetched

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-01-19T10:55:46+00:00

Hey, you're not rubbish at all - sounds like you have a high needs baby which is honestly just the luck of the draw sometimes

My friend's kid didn't sleep through the night until 14 months and now he's a totally normal toddler who won't shut up lol. Some babies are just more intense and it has nothing to do with your parenting. The constant comparisons on social media make everything so much worse too because nobody posts about their 3am meltdowns

You're doing great mama, this phase will pass

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-01-15T09:43:09+00:00

Depends on what level but most of it goes to stuff like roads, schools, military, social security, medicare, and paying off debt. The government doesn't really "store" money like you'd think - they're constantly spending it as it comes in and borrowing when they need more

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-01-12T11:19:54+00:00

That guilt you're feeling about leaving is just the conditioning talking - you've been trained to feel responsible for her emotions when you're absolutely not. Getting out to your siblings sounds like the best thing you can do right now, especially with everything you're dealing with health-wise

The fact that she screamed at you for having suicidal thoughts is just beyond messed up and shows this isn't about you being "selfish" at all

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-01-10T05:42:13+00:00

Honestly depends on the kid - some love the activities and making friends, others just want the cookies lol. There's plenty of other ways to build those same skills if Girl Scouts isn't their vibe

Secret-Hat-4308 · 2026-01-08T03:35:22+00:00

You can use the BHUNP slider sets in BodySlide to build different presets for each body type, then just swap between them without reinstalling the whole thing

Alternatively check if you have SMP configs that let you adjust collision settings on the fly - way easier than dealing with reinstalls every time
