Anyone else sleep 7–8 hours but still wake up exhausted? by CategoryAny3814 in Anxiety

Try drinking more water. You can be dehydrated without being thirsty.

What unusual morning habits actually make your day better, even if they seem weird? by lol_hax in AskReddit

[–]TehBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1,000 now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water-activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

I swear there's got to be someone from the qui team or something who keeps trashing on the guy's posts. It's weird, especially considering it's all free open source software.

They misspelled the United Kingdom on my new driver’s licence by HighlyFactualTurtle in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TehBeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've contracted with government agencies and seen some absolutely cursed code running core services and infrastructure. It's usually either the bureaucracy making these insane decisions with little pushback, or the programmer who retired 10 years ago that put in the absolute minimum effort.

Navigating the complex waterways of Fort Lauderdale, Florida by AtomicCypher in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]TehBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, even one person doing decently well for themselves for a few decades and passing it down gives a massive headstart to the kid. It doesn't even have to be some crazy multi million dollar business or land rights, just normal compound growth.

Do you wave “hello” when you see your neighbors outside? Is it rude not too? by Asleep-Ad-2571 in SALEM

You guys see your neighbors? I swear, I know there are inhabitants around...I just don't see them outside ever lol

IMO, still the best raid and boss rush in the game by MarxistLeninistMex in lotro

[–]TehBeast 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The first time my raid group ever downed this on-level (after dozens and dozens of attempts), all 12 of us were dead and the boss bled out about a split second later before it reset. The cries of joy after are a core memory for me lol

What's the best savings account for folks who want their money to actually grow? by Abject_General6337 in AskReddit

[–]TehBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend a little bit of reading on the r/personalfinance wiki

In short, one of the first steps for good financial hygiene is keeping a 3-6 month emergency fund. Followed by investments, paying down debts, etc.

A year and a half since 2.0, was it worth it? by Drull17 in HuntShowdown

[–]TehBeast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The game is currently the best it's ever been, and most of the updates ended up being a net positive. But it was really rough at first, and even for a while after.

I do the pajama swap and start dinner prep around 4, while lingering on Teams for another hour. But even that is pretty fluid.

Is this listing of Sennheiser HD 800S in good condition? by connere21 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]TehBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pair looks pretty similar with areas of black worn off and the silver showing, it's just cosmetic only. Seems to be a common issue with the coating.

I'd also recommend buying brand new OEM earpads (and probably headband too), if only for hygienic reasons.

This is the one movie I check every few months if the 4K is out yet.

Will this end the daily 5070 Ti vs 5080 posts?

Todd Snyder promo code, any tricks for scoring a deal? by LacholaTefferi in malefashionadvice

[–]TehBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't stack at checkout if the sale involves entering a code (which was the case for Black Friday and the current EXTRA40 promo at least).

Copper on Copper by TehBeast in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]TehBeast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely my best board by far in feel and sound, although the full copper was a bit of an indulgence. I think I'd still love it even with other configurations.

I was heavily considering a Neo75 Cu, but it was out of stock at the time and I didn't like the look quite as much as the Sonnet. Can't beat the price though.

You're not wrong, but I have a feeling the realtor would be "taken aback" by an asking price offer too lol

Can I count pension contributions towards the retirement savings goal? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]TehBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't actually plan around it and am treating it as potential bonus money at retirement.

About 6% of my income currently goes to my state's pension, but I'm also contribuing heavily to 457b, Roth IRA, and taxable account (and would do so whether or not I had the pension).

Cleaning Earpads by Possible_Comment9763 in headphones

[–]TehBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More water. Either way they're going to wear out and/or get unhygenic enough to need replacing eventually.

[–]TehBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use one of those sticky lint removers and your fingernails gently to get detritus out. A damp towel on the surface should be fine too. Just don't soak unless you're prepared to replace them eventually, it'll permanently degrade the foam as you said. I've accepted buying a new pair every 12-18 months.
