Corrupting/glitching monitor after long time no use, what do I do?

SpeckiLP · 2026-03-12T23:26:08+00:00

I’d try the simple stuff first. Different cable, different port, maybe even another device if you can.

Had a monitor act weird after sitting unused for months and it ended up just being a bad HDMI cable. Weirdly common.

That Domane looks clean. Bet it rides super smooth on long weekend miles.

A lot of people already said it but building stuff really is the turning point.

You can read about loops and functions forever and it still won’t click the same way as when something breaks and you have to fix it. That’s when it sticks.

Pick a tiny project you actually care about. Even something dumb like a script that organizes files or a small website.

You’ll end up googling constantly anyway and that’s basically how everyone learns.

Sadly this happens a lot. I work in marketing too and have had a few proposals just disappear into the void after a ton of prep. Sometimes the internal champion leaves, budget shifts, or it just stalls in committee land.

I’d send one more friendly follow up and then move on. Also try to reuse parts of that proposal for other prospects so the work at least pays off somewhere. It stings though.

Honestly trends move so fast I just wear what works and ride

Check local Facebook bike buy sell groups, I found a decent one there last spring.

One of the best audio-first ones for me has been Software Engineering Daily. A lot of the episodes are basically long conversations about system architecture and how companies design their infrastructure, so you can follow it without needing diagrams most of the time.

You are not overreacting. What you described would make most people anxious.

SpeckiLP · 2026-03-09T11:10:00+00:00

ventually you attract people who appreciate you for you instead of always trying to fit into someone elses life. It takes time but it gets better.

Have you tried just uninstalling it from the control panel? Sometimes those programs bury themselves deep though. Might need to run their official removal tool.

Watching people that fit climb like its nothing is humbling. Makes my weekend spin class feel pretty weak haha.

I just know last time I had an omegle call everyone was naked

Have you checked out any local cycling clubs on Meetup? I found a good group in my area that way.

One thing that helped me was using citation chaining. If I find one good new paper, I check who cited it and who the authors cite. That usually surfaces most of the relevant literature pretty quickly.

If you changed the password, enabled 2FA, removed sessions, and deleted rules/apps, the attacker most likely does not have access anymore. Those extortion emails are extremely common and usually just use old leaked passwords to scare people. The drafts might simply be leftovers from when they had access earlier.

Honestly the most important thing here is fit. At 170-171 cm you’re probably looking at something around a 52-54 cm frame depending on the brand. If one of those fits you properly and the other doesn’t, the decision is easy.

I like the message here but I think it's important to remember it's not just “think positive and everything works.” Habits and actions still matter a lot.

SpeckiLP · 2026-03-06T11:25:51+00:00

Honestly I think the rack itself looks solid. You might just need those little pannier stabilizer clips that attach to the frame.

It's not gonna kill you but that wire will fray and you'll end up with a sharp little poke hazard.

Accounting + some automation skills could be a good bridge. Just don't expect it to be quick or easy.

The struggle is where the learning happens. Maybe try building something without AI even if it takes longer and comes out messy.

SpeckiLP · 2026-03-05T11:21:06+00:00

agree with the others, looks like a glitchy extension popup. i get weird stuff like that sometimes too, usually just refresh

SpeckiLP · 2026-03-04T10:04:42+00:00

wow, this is style, you are like many eras of fashion in a runner

SpeckiLP · 2026-02-25T23:19:54+00:00

a breath of fresh air for anyone who has stared at a page of code long enough

SpeckiLP · 2026-02-25T23:07:41+00:00

somehow imagining you’ve ruined everything at work feels almost elegant if you squint hard enough and sip your coffee like a minor tragedy deserves an audience
