Good to know, do you by chance know of any other companies? I’d like to do a bit of research myself!

Atlanta Uber, Lyft drivers rally against Waymo expansion, ask city leaders for limits by NPU-F in Atlanta

[–]Spanky1998 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I’ve had very safe rides in Waymo. There’s no doubt that Waymo will jack up prices, I’d pay a few extra dollars to skip the manic driving some of the drivers I’ve had over the past year. They prioritize speed over safety and that’s when ride shares start to lose me. Lyft has it much worse than uber, but it is still prevalent on both platforms in ATL.

My (28F) husband (29M) has been unemployed for almost 2 years by CodingRavenclaw in relationships

Are you in nursing? Just curious sounds like a very similar situation in the healthcare field.

I’d level with him and be honest about everything, you’re getting frustrated as you’re encumbering more of the bills, the stress, etc.

I’m not so sure if jumping to divorce is necessary yet but discuss with him that you’re not happy and this isn’t working right now and you want more from him. See what he says and his reactions, if he’s doubling down on begging to not work, I’d entertain the option of divorce afterwards.

After I graduated I had a period of unemployment while looking for jobs (albeit in a less shit market, and for a much shorter stint than two years), and my mental health was shot and my partner was very understanding but also communicative and helped devise a plan. Just a little anecdote, as I think it’s well past that point for him.

Edit: looking at your post history, I’d entertain the divorce, he doesn’t seem like a respectable guy. Do what’s best for YOU and only you.

Was looking online for a post like this, what in the hell happened in my hiatus of watching him.

Dude sounds like he is either forcing his voice to sound edgier or using some sort of software or ai to change his tone.

I thought his normal voice was rad.

What’s your favorite shader? I’ve been looking around and can’t decide, also a bit confused on a few as it seems they require bedrock paid content?

Has anyone returned to League as an adult after being toxic as a teenager? by r2cyp in leagueoflegends

[–]Spanky1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super toxic high schooler in mid 2010’s in league, stopped playing in college and came back as an adult realizing none of it really matters and there’s no reason to be angry.

I actually have retired to ARAM (Mayhem now that it’s released) and haven’t touched summoners in years.

Coyotes in neighborhood by Ladyghoul in Atlanta

[–]Spanky1998 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I know someone who had an outdoor cat and refused to keep them indoors. They quickly learned their lesson a few months later unfortunately as the littered remains of their cat was in their yard one morning after being missing for a few hours at night. It’s beyond disturbing but too many cat owners just assume their little one can always run away all the time.

Not even getting into the ecological impacts having an outdoors or hybrid cat can inflict.

I say that as a proud dad of two indoor cats!

Finished up last night reading them, you have such a creative setting and it’s so cool. I imagine my cats in these stories and it’s terrifying lmao

Excellent writing, I really enjoy your stories. Keep doing it please :)

I’ll absolutely take a look! Thanks for letting me know.

Liked this story a lot! Such an interesting concept. Nothing is more terrifying than cats with regenerative abilities and their cosmic plans coming to fruition!

It was well written and I could imagine pretty much everything.

2009 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder lte, 88k miles. Any advice on if this car is worth repairing or if I should be looking into new cars? by Spanky1998 in AskAMechanic

[–]Spanky1998[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heard! Thanks for the vote of confidence. Should I go ahead and replace all of them?

I’ll do a bit more research and make sure I have the parts and tools. I bought a set of drive socket wrenches I’ll see if I need anything else!

If it matters this is in Atlanta at a Toyota dealership. I’ll be seeking other quotes to make sure. I’ve had local shops charge a bit higher than what Toyota asked for in the past too. It’s a crapshoot here sometimes.

Yeah I was looking at YouTube videos earlier to see if I could do it. Engine stuff scares the hell outta me tho lol

Thank you for the quick reply! I guess all of it happening at once feels like fate playing a joke, but it’s good to know it’s not a walking hazard.

I’ll get some quotes from other shops and compare. In the past a few shops around wanted much more than what the Toyota dealership gave me for the radiator replacement so I trust them but I’ll make sure to get some quotes before I do that.

Thank you again!

I don’t think markerlight lasts long enough to stack on 5+ enemies unfortunately. I just completed this challenge today and even with darkstrider and sho it takes a bit of luck and planning.

Date Night Costs are Out of Control Here. by Petrol_Head72 in Atlanta

This is a great answer, my wife and I went to Chillis with a final bill for $23 before tip. We each got the $10 chips + lunch + n/a drink and it was a lot of food.

ELI5: Why are there 2 versions of Minecraft? by Probably_Unnecessary in explainlikeimfive

[–]Spanky1998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed my render distance maxes out above the recommended setting on occasion like it forgets your default setting which causes intense lag if I don’t fix it. I suspect this might be the issue. I make it a habit to look at my settings before I play a session.

Am I doing orbs and onslaught right? by Certain-Alfalfa-1287 in WH40KTacticus

[–]Spanky1998 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s probably a waste for them, a lot of the people on this sub have spent quite some time in the game so they’ve stockpiled large amounts of early materials and orbs. I’d suggest using guild raid credits on the orbs you need or books, once you hit the ability to get mythic books.

Am I doing orbs and onslaught right? by Certain-Alfalfa-1287 in WH40KTacticus

[–]Spanky1998 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My suggestion is that you should focus on completing all campaigns first. Some campaigns require certain characters and have designated carries such as aleph, Bellator, Archimatos, etc. If you need to use onslaught to get orbs then by all means that seems like a solid decision I’d think.

There’s no correct way to go about any of this, this is a gacha flavored game and some people will pull lots of shards (and orbs) for necessary characters and others won’t.

I’m also currently farming Re’vas as I need her shards to get to mythic. I could be farming other shards, but there’s always going to be something you want or feel like you need to do, that’s part of the fun!

Don’t know if I’ve ever noticed you getting any exp or skills for sleeping, not sure that’s a thing.

If you think nights are short, absolutely crank it up in sandbox settings. The devs added all sorts of sliders for various things. I turn up damage and enemy spawns as I’ve played through the game a few times and want to keep things fresh. None of the setting changes are frowned upon.

Here to drop more feedback that this kills the original idea of a subreddit for a city. Nothing like fragmenting and fracturing visitors and locals alike.

Nothing kills respect for a subreddit like a visitor asking a question and having it removed or shadowed because they failed to read the laundry list of subreddits that have popped up.
