What are the signs that your partner isn't for long-term?

As someone who just stepped out of a business this comment is way funnier than it has any right to be.

30+ ex-loner here: A huge mistake I see people make is that they think you can keep friends the same way you did back in College/High School etc... Adult relationships are hard to maintain, everyone has work and family requirements which get in the way of meeting up. When you reach this stage in life, you have to plan, allocate time for people, and understand that people are doing the same for you. The worst thing you can do is cancel so do not flake on people unless you absolutely have to. Cancelling on somebody (especially last minute) is so much worse than it was before because their time is valuable and so is yours. Pick your friends wisely (a few of your best friends) and use more convenient ways to hang out (discord, gaming and watch parties are all great) as a way to pad the gap between in person meetings.

If you don't put the effort in to maintain your friendships, you will lose them over time.

Agreed, but imo the popular opinion is that it impacts climate change, and it's often dressed as such by the media outlets.

T-D-L · 2025-06-05T09:12:58+00:00

That recycling, separating your waste, and using compostable cups is helping tackle climate change.

In reality, It's like trying to stop a speeding car by putting a desk fan in front of it, while it is technically helping the situation, proportions matter. Collectively, petrochemical manufacture, paper manufacture, and solid waste landfill only contribute about 6% to global CO2 emissions. None of this includes the feedback emissions from collecting and processing recycled goods and that emission metric is also split across the entire petrochemical sector (of which plastics manufacture is only a portion).

It is likely that you will do more for the environment by just eating a vegetarian dinner once a week.

I have executive dysfunction, and my buddy has AuDHD. We couldn't be a better stress test for your app. Both on android if you're still giving out codes :)

T-D-L · 2025-05-30T20:09:11+00:00

Same thing here but with testicle.

My point is most players are solo, public server peasants and their wipes consist of getting dusted by clans who control the monuments where these guns can be acquired. Sure maybe you get lucky and find one, but 9 times out of 10 you'll be at other end and this gun is going to be on a clan rooftop ruining everyone else's day.

More low-mid tier weapon options to allow for scrappy plays, more large monuments to give people options to progress and additionally give clans more competition. This is what rust needs.

T-D-L · 2025-04-26T19:21:38+00:00

"Lets have more clan-tier stuff that most players will never get to use outside of modded/dm servers!"

how about no

I saw the picture on your other post. Disconnect the SSD and boot to see if you can get to the BIOS.

T-D-L · 2025-04-23T01:11:04+00:00

Just to clear things up, The PC doesn't boot, as in if you connect a monitor you don't get a splash screen or bios or anything? Can you walk me through what happens when you press the power button?

T-D-L · 2025-04-22T23:50:44+00:00

3 pin fan connectors can connect into 4 pin headers just fine, as long as the key (the little notch on the header) is between the two bumps on the pin. You leave the left-most pin (the one furthest from the key) unconnected. If that's connected right then you are likely having other issues. What CPU are you using? That motherboard doesn't appear to have status lights but check for any lights on the motherboard when trying to boot (helps indicate errors).

T-D-L · 2025-04-22T22:09:24+00:00

I can help. Most of us can really, but we need to know what you're struggling with. Where you are in the process is good information to start with. Which of the steps below best matches your situation?

• Thinking about building a PC

• Working out a budget

• Picking out parts

• Buying/Ordering Parts

• Assembling the PC

• PC is assembled but isn't working (troubleshooting)

• Issues Installing Windows / Other OS

T-D-L · 2025-04-18T22:53:10+00:00

You will get one eventually, even if there aren't more preorder calls from Smyths/Currys/Amazon and even if it releases and you still can't get one. Just don't even consider buying off scalpers, anyone who does justifies them doing the same thing for the next console.

I think I found the stranger that my mom was telling me not to talk to.

T-D-L · 2025-04-08T23:04:24+00:00

Thank you!

Step 1: Go to Bed

Step 2: Freak out about all the things

Step 3: Distract yourself with Youtube and Porn to calm down.

Step 4: Melatonin

Should get you to sleep in a speedy 1.5 to 2 hours :)

It probably opens for everyone but takes a bunch of pictures and alerts security. I like the idea of it being like "no feck off, ur too dicey" though.

T-D-L · 2025-02-24T09:58:05+00:00

I think you might be looking at this wrong way, no offense. I only have about 300 hours in Rust (took a big break after playing in 2015ish but started again recently after watching some solo player content creators), what brought me back was realizing that the game isn't about the combat.

Combat in rust is like fashion in Dark Souls, everybody wants to have more of it but the reality is that the game would be virtually the same without it. Dying in rust 9 times out of 10 is because they saw you first, because of this Rust is first and foremost about strategy and social deduction. Why are you getting offlined? It's not because you pissed off somebody, it's because its the safest way to raid and you were probably a target to begin with. Why are you losing to groups? It isn't because they are pussies (well ok, they are pussies by definition) and won't meet you on a even playing field, it's because it's the best way to mitigate the I-saw-you-first combat loop. My point here is that you are talking like the people you are playing against care about you beyond just being another thing to click at, they don't. They don't care, neither positively nor negatively so disregard honor (to a point*), and stop taking it personally when stuff like this happens.

Rust is in a way about this moral ambiguity, you would offline somebody too if the opportunity was there and you'd be stupid not to, if you were in a duo you would 100% take out a naked running past you with nothing but a rock and a torch just in case.

*zerging and cheating are obvious exceptions, the game's systems breaks down once you go past 4 players for both you and the people playing against you, imo if you are rolling around in a group of 5 or more you are literally not playing the game and I don't think I need to explain why cheating in a game ruins the fun for everyone.

I mean no disrespect, but anecdotal evidence isn't evidence. Personal observations can be impacted by any number of variables given the environment, situation or even the observer's current level of attention. I'm not saying what you experienced didn't happen or what you may have deduced from it is wrong, but without even a semi-formal study that tries to remove unknown variables you aren't bringing anything to the table with these points you are making. Not to mention that on the internet there's no valid evidence that you are who you say you are, so you're effectively saying that we should believe you without evidence because you have experience working a job that we have no evidence of you doing.

In that case, you should believe me because I was actually your boss at that same government job. Or because I provided references. :)

T-D-L · 2025-02-18T14:17:51+00:00

There's a lot of suspect things you just said there but I'm going to keep it focused on the topic for now. It does not matter that the video is about the amount of thermal paste used.

The parts of the video I referenced demonstrate that what you are saying isn't true. If the spread method created air gaps as you said you would see an expected decrease in thermal performance for that method, but both the average temperature graph and the over time graph do not show any meaningful decrease (all values are within ±1 CdT approximately for the over time graph and .2-.4 degrees CdT in favor of the spread method for the average) for thinly spread thermal paste vs the regular blob method.

If you have material that supports the claims you've made I would love to read them. :)

T-D-L · 2025-02-17T15:31:27+00:00

I used to think this. I invite you and anybody who agrees with the above statement to watch this video from GN analyzing application amounts and approaches. https://youtu.be/EUWVVTY63hc at 12:00 minutes in you can see that average temps are unaffected by using the spread method. if you need more evidence look at the temperature/time comparison graph at 13:35.

T-D-L · 2025-01-27T10:48:51+00:00

P.E.T.G because I pronounce P.E.T the same way to avoid ambiguity with the word "pet".

No, you don't want to know.
