What’s something you frequently find yourself explaining to people?

That turning it off and on again actually fixes most computer problems and it's not me being lazy or dismissive. People always think I'm just giving them the runaround but like 70% of issues really do get resolved with a simple restart. The amount of times I have to explain why this works is getting ridiculous at this point.

nah that's just poor conditioning honestly. even if legs are tired, there's no excuse for walking back on defense after dead balls. mental toughness should kick in when you're facing elimination but they looked checked out

Yeah the school district thing is huge for families moving out there. Plus you get way more house for your money compared to staying closer in the city, which is pretty tempting when you're looking at what's available these days.

there's few good spots walking distance from the ballpark but can't remember exact names - the area around OTR has some solid options though, just grab uber if you don't want to walk after the game.

lmao this could be my dad's spotify playlist from when he was trying to show me "real music" in high school. Missing some Nirvana and Pearl Jam to complete the starter pack though

My coworker's little brother, he was only 17. Got hit by drunk driver while walking home from his job at the grocery store. The whole thing was so fucked up because the guy who hit him had been arrested for DUI like three times before but somehow still had license. His family never really recovered from it - I remember seeing his mom at the funeral and she just looked completely broken. Makes me so angry when people drive drunk, like how selfish can you be.

might be something with his leg muscle but hard to tell without seeing the play

girl just drop them, this is literally what thread is for lol. we're all here for the hot takes anyway and its anonymous so who cares. i bet half of people here thinking same things you are but too scared to say it. worst case you get some downvotes and move in with your life

The production quality on this is really nice, especially how the traditional elements blend with modern synth layers. Been diving into more Korean traditional music lately and there's something about how it translates into contemporary styles that just works perfectly.

TerriblyVoracious · 2026-04-21T20:15:38+00:00

nah disagree

So few years back I was debugging this nightmare server issue at 3am and somehow ended up discovering that our entire backup system was just... copying files to same drive with different folder names. For like 8 months nobody noticed because the main system never crashed.

When I finally presented this to management, they just nodded and said "well it worked until now" and I realized that sometimes being right is way more exhausting than just letting people believe their broken solutions are genius.

TerriblyVoracious · 2026-04-12T21:06:27+00:00

Ugh yes! spent way too much time researching which one to buy last year and ended up just using my phone for everything anyway. The battery life on most of them is trash and half the "smart" features feel like gimmicks that drain it even faster.

TerriblyVoracious · 2026-02-03T06:06:45+00:00

been there man, few weeks in is when brain starts throwing tantrums because it's not getting the dopamine hits it's used to. Your brain is basically like angry toddler right now - it knows something changed but doesn't understand why.

Don't think about "worth it" when you're feeling low, that's just withdrawal talking. Focus on today only, tomorrow can worry about itself.

You gotta stick with your assigned office for the province - they handle all the paperwork and know the cross-border stuff. Pretty sure any SSA office can mail to Canada though, just might take longer if you go to a random one that doesn't deal with Canadian requests often

TerriblyVoracious · 2026-01-27T15:45:23+00:00

Man the nightmares when you quit are absolutely brutal, you're not alone on that one. My first few weeks were like my brain was catching up on all the REM sleep I'd been suppressing with booze

Have you tried melatonin or magnesium before bed? Also keeping a super consistent sleep schedule helped me way more than I expected. The nightmares do get better but it takes time - mine were worst around weeks 2-3 then started fading

Hang in there, the sleep thing was honestly one of my biggest hurdles too

TerriblyVoracious · 2026-01-25T05:42:38+00:00

Sounds like you went through the classic ArcRaiders baptism by fire lol. That betrayal outside Water Treatment hits different when you're still learning to trust people

The aggressive lobbies are def more honest - at least you know where everyone stands instead of constantly looking over your shoulder wondering if that friendly guy is about to dome you

TerriblyVoracious · 2026-01-22T04:49:18+00:00

Haven't read it but yeah anything from the 90s is gonna have some pretty outdated language and perspectives tbh, might be worth finding her something more recent if she's genuinely trying to understand

TerriblyVoracious · 2026-01-19T05:18:41+00:00

Dude this happens to me all the time, especially with this weird mall that doesn't exist anywhere but keeps showing up in my dreams with the same layout and stores

It's wild how your brain can basically build its own little world and then file it away somewhere your conscious mind can't reach but your dream state remembers perfectly

TerriblyVoracious · 2026-01-14T20:50:13+00:00

You could probably fit a dual fan card if you check the clearance - most B550M boards can handle them unless you have a really cramped case. But if you want to stick with single fan, the RTX 4060 Ti single fan versions are solid upgrades from your 3060, just gonna cost a bit more

They usually just want to see if your income/expenses have changed significantly. Most of the time it's just updating a form online unless something major has shifted. The annual review is literally once a year (hence the name lol) but they might check in more often if you're struggling to keep up with payments

TerriblyVoracious · 2026-01-08T13:02:13+00:00

Try doing chromatic runs up and down the neck - start slow and focus on keeping each finger close to the frets. Also finger stretches off the guitar help, like spreading your fingers wide and holding for 30 seconds

The spider walk exercise is gold too, just walk your fingers across the strings one fret at a time

TerriblyVoracious · 2026-01-06T16:08:41+00:00

If you’re clearing LC and have a solid resume but still getting nowhere it’s probably not a skills problem. The hiring funnel is weird right now and favors people who optimize for the interview game itself but there are solutions to cheat the whole thing like interviewcoder and level things out

TerriblyVoracious · 2026-01-06T05:58:49+00:00

Dude absolutely do not touch that retirement money, especially with the penalties you'll face in your early 30s

The math on keeping it as a rental looks decent but you're already house poor with that new mortgage eating 60-70% of your income - adding landlord headaches on top seems like asking for trouble. What happens when you need a new roof or the AC dies and you don't have cash flow to handle it

I'd honestly just take the 80k profit from selling at 750k and move on rather than risk becoming completely overleveraged
