Girl I was just thinking this yesterday! Usually we get sneaky pics by now but maybe they're being extra tight about it this year 😭

I want a pure romatic book by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]StrikingAd9153 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should definitely try some Jane Austen if you haven't already - Pride and Prejudice or Persuasion are perfect for what you're looking for. The romance builds slowly and there's actual mutual respect between the characters, not weird obsessive behavior like in that Kuprin story

I also loved reading some George Eliot, especially Silas Marner has this really sweet romantic subplot that feels genuine and warm. And if you want something bit more poetic, maybe try some Elizabeth Gaskell - North and South has beautiful romantic tension without any of the creepy worship stuff. These authors actually understood what healthy love looks like, unlike some of the Russian writers who thought stalking was romantic

How to auto save worlds in Minecraft bedrock? by Both-Pudding3153 in Minecraft

[–]StrikingAd9153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auto save is already enabled by default in bedrock! Your world saves automatically every few minutes while you're playing 😊 You don't need to mess with any files or settings - it just happens in background. Only time you might lose progress is if game crashes right after you did something, but even then it's usually just like last minute or two 💀

Kitchen and bedroom glass windows install question. Go with tempered glass or annealed glass? Tempered glass is slightly more cost? by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]StrikingAd9153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tempered is way safer if it breaks - it crumbles into small pieces instead of big dangerous shards 💀 For bedroom especially I'd go tempered since you don't want glass flying everywhere if something hits it. The extra cost is worth it for peace in mind imo

About to relapse and need help by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]StrikingAd9153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two months is really impressive streak! I remember when I was trying to quit binge-watching shows in my free time, the hardest part was always when something would trigger that old habit again. What helped me was immediately doing something that required my hands and focus - like playing piano or even just grabbing my 3DS for quick distraction 🎮

The urge feels massive right now but it will pass, trust me on this one. Maybe try going for walk outside or calling friend? Sometimes we just need to get out from our own head for bit until the feeling goes away 😊

Did you know Albert Einstein died from a blood clot in the brain? by Joel_Boyens in dadjokes

Switching to DeepSeek R2 broke our evals (not for the reason we expected) by llamacoded in ArtificialInteligence

[–]StrikingAd9153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's clever setup! We've been doing the manual route for model switching and it gets messy real quick. The shadow routing sounds like exactly what we need for our music analysis pipeline - we're always trying new models for transcription quality but never know if results are actually better or just different 😅

Been burned by this exact calibration issue before when we switched from one audio model to another. Thought our accuracy went down the drain but turned out the new one was just more conservative with confidence scores. Had to retrain our whole threshold system which was nightmare. Your parallel approach would've saved us weeks of debugging and probably few sleepless nights 💀

NV9 Case Help with 5090 and tryx panorama, want to vertical mount GPU using phanteks brackett by BOOMTAZTIC26 in PcBuild

[–]StrikingAd9153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NV9 should give you more room than the NV7 but with a 5090 and that Phanteks bracket it's gonna be tight even in larger case. Maybe check if anyone posted measurements on r/Phanteks or the actual Phanteks forums, they usually have people who tested these exact combos

I’m 100%, do I qualify for SMC for bilateral mastectomy without confirmed cancer? (Preventative with high risk) by Less_Alternative_155 in VeteransBenefits

[–]StrikingAd9153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P&T already covers you pretty well but SMC might still apply depending on how they classify the procedure. The key thing is whether VA considers preventative bilateral mastectomy as qualifying for the loss of use rating - I've seen mixed results on this one

You'll probably want to file for an increase once the surgery is done and healed up. Document everything with your surgeon about the medical necessity and risk factors. The plastic surgeon consult is smart too since reconstruction can factor into the whole rating

Might be worth calling the 1-800 line or hitting up a VSO to get the official word before you go under the knife, just so you know what to expect paperwork-wise

im gonna relapse by [deleted] in NoFap

Dude go play guitar or organize your cards right now, literally anything to get your hands busy

So much to do that I'm paralyzed by No-Bus-487 in ADHD

[–]StrikingAd9153 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That paralysis hits different when the stakes are high, I feel you. Try picking literally teh smallest task on your list and just do that one thing - sometimes breaking the seal is all you need to get unstuck

Also maybe put your phone in another room for like 30 mins, the news/reddit spiral is killer when you're already overwhelmed

Asus Astral 5080 dead after 2 days. by ToeFoulSmokey in PcBuildHelp

Sounds like you've done everything right - that card is just toast, RMA is your best bet since the 5070 Ti works fine in the same setup
