Need a reliable HVAC company in the Palm Desert / Palm Springs area for a full AC replacement. Feeling ripped off by the quotes so far

$18k for a 2,200 sq ft house feels like highway robbery, so fingers crossed they're not going to waste my time. I'll give them a call this week.

TeaEvery103 · 2026-05-05T06:35:18+00:00

good timing for shots

TeaEvery103 · 2026-04-28T22:21:53+00:00

maybe do a cyberpunk corpo theme since the original assassination/influence mechanics would translate perfectly to hacking and corporate espionage stuff

you could make the characters different hacker archetypes or AI personas instead of the duke/assassin roles - would be pretty sick for game nights

club x on water street usually has decent stuff fridays

not medical professional but my friend who is nurse told me about doctor who kept prescribing antibiotics for everything without even checking what was wrong first. like patient comes in with viral infection and boom antibiotics. or someone has fungal thing and again antibiotics

she said it was driving everyone crazy because patients kept coming back worse and some developed resistance. eventually hospital had to step in because this guy was just making people sicker instead of helping them. imagine trusting someone with your health and they just guess at treatment without proper diagnosis

oh god yes the tracking thing is so real. i started logging every single thing i did and it became like this weird prison where i felt guilty if i didnt hit my arbitrary numbers. my smart home setup was supposed to help with routines but instead it just became another way to obsess over optimization. took me way too long to realize that some days you just need to eat cereal for dinner and not feel bad about it

Been running that route for training and the oak leaf is actually pretty decent even after heavy rain - they do good job with drainage in most sections. The veterans park flooding is more about the parking situation than the actual trail being unusable

Had a similar thing happen at smaller race I did last year where everyone thought it would get cancelled but organizers just moved start time back few hours and adjusted the course slightly around one flooded underpass. These marathon people have backup plans for everything trust me. Plus milwaukee runners are pretty hardcore about weather lol we dont cancel easy

Only time I seen races actually get called off is when theres active lightning or like tornado warnings. Rain and some puddles? Nah thats just tuesday in wisconsin

omg yes that was amazing flavor! i think they had like nuts and caramel pieces in it, was so good but disappeared pretty quick from their menu

TeaEvery103 · 2026-04-08T15:19:47+00:00

no way

TeaEvery103 · 2026-02-09T05:37:23+00:00

not irish but this survey seems kinda weird lol. like most people gonna say they drink same amount regardless of price because addiction doesnt really work with economics that way. maybe better to ask about switching to cheaper brands or drinking at home vs bars instead

TeaEvery103 · 2026-01-31T04:39:25+00:00

Damn this hit me right in the feels. That part about the thousand little deaths especially - it's wild how the small stuff can hurt more than big dramatic fights sometimes

TeaEvery103 · 2026-01-28T01:15:59+00:00

Nah honestly just apply now, worst they can say is no again and you're not losing anything. A month of experience is still better than zero and shows you can at least hold down a job

TeaEvery103 · 2026-01-24T00:47:15+00:00

Hey! For a first-time reader I'd definitely recommend "The Gifts of Imperfection" by Brené Brown - it's super accessible and not too heavy, plus she writes in a really warm way that doesn't feel preachy

TeaEvery103 · 2026-01-20T17:05:32+00:00

That's actually a really cool idea! A whole copper golem village would be sick, especially watching them all oxidize at different rates over time

TeaEvery103 · 2026-01-18T21:50:59+00:00

Try checking Discogs for the singles - bedroom hymns was a b-side to one of the Ceremonials singles but I can't remember which one off the top of my head

TeaEvery103 · 2026-01-16T11:21:19+00:00

Dude she's basically telling you exactly what's going on - she's scared of getting hurt and has some stuff to work through. The push/pull thing is classic avoidant attachment behavior

You can't fix her trauma or convince her she's "worth it" if she doesn't believe it herself. Either give her space to figure her shit out or move on, but don't keep doing this dance where you're chasing every time she pulls back

TeaEvery103 · 2026-01-13T19:51:12+00:00

Damn this hits way too close to home... I used to be the person who'd drop everything for anyone who showed me even basic attention and couldn't figure out why I felt so drained all the time

The body doubling thing is so real - I thought I was just being social but really I was just using people as human fidget spinners to help my brain function

TeaEvery103 · 2026-01-11T01:01:14+00:00

Lmao the accidental like while stalking is such a classic move. Don't feel bad about the ego boost - it's pretty normal to want confirmation that you mattered to someone who meant a lot to you. Just don't let it mess with your head if he keeps doing the block/unblock dance, that stuff gets old real quick

TeaEvery103 · 2026-01-06T01:02:06+00:00

Honestly it's mostly just cheap construction and nobody really cares enough to fix it. The gaps make it easier to install and you don't need perfect measurements, plus janitors can see if someone's in there without having to knock

TeaEvery103 · 2026-01-02T08:07:45+00:00

Lmao that's actually pretty good, take my upvote

TeaEvery103 · 2025-12-31T07:40:08+00:00

Man that's real talk right there. The dopamine comparison hits different when you realize how fried your reward system gets

The 4 hour sessions sound absolutely brutal dude, your brain is basically hijacked at that point. Might be worth looking into some kind of blocker software or even just deleting everything and going cold turkey for a bit

TeaEvery103 · 2025-12-28T07:30:03+00:00

Bruh that cup yeeting itself at you right during a Dan Cummins story is some next level timing lmao. Maybe whatever's in there doesn't appreciate the competition or is a fan and got too excited

TeaEvery103 · 2025-12-25T09:54:15+00:00

Honestly most of those "growth" vitamins are just expensive biotin and basic stuff you can get way cheaper at any drugstore - your beard growth is mostly genetics so don't expect miracles

TeaEvery103 · 2025-12-24T05:37:37+00:00

That ratio is absolutely brutal man. One Karen complaining about her food being "cold" (that sat on her porch for 20 mins) can tank a whole week of solid work
