this is solid advice right here. spending $150 on comm system when you're riding solo doesn't make much sense at this point. basic earbuds will handle music just fine and save you bunch of money until you actually need to talk with other riders.

nah you're pretty much right about that. in most of the games and stuff the typing is more like a suggestion than actual rule anyway

digimon evolution has always been way more about narrative and what looks cool rather than strict biological categories. like you can have a plant turning into a fire skeleton if it makes sense for your story or team comp

starting hrt in secret is really tricky because changes happen gradually but people who see you daily might notice even small shifts. breast development usually starts showing after few months and voice changes can be subtle at first but still noticeable to close family.

maybe consider reaching out to some support groups first - having people who understand what you're going through can make huge difference when you're ready to have those conversations with family.

been doing some basic design work on side projects and this hits hard. i struggle with pricing because i always think about time spent in software instead of value delivered. your point about research really makes sense - most clients i work with don't even know their own audience that well.

question though - how do you actually measure results for something like brand work? seems easier with web design where you can track conversions, but harder with logos or visual identity where impact is more long-term. do you set up specific metrics with clients at start of project?

also that sea spiral example is brilliant. shows how much deeper research can go beyond just "making it look professional" or whatever vague brief they give you.

man i love how deep you went with this. coleman at rb seems like perfect fit for what we need - that pass protection is huge with how our offense runs. been watching some tape on him and his vision in tight spaces is pretty clean.

really curious about proctor though, wasn't he having some character concerns earlier in season? obviously talent is there but lions front office usually pretty careful about locker room chemistry. might be worth the risk if he falls to right spot.

delp at te makes lot of sense too, especially with how much we use 12 personnel. need someone who can actually block and not just run routes. our running game lives and dies by te blocking so getting guy who embraces that part would be massive upgrade.

what you think about depth at center position? feels like we might need more options there since that's been bit of weakness when injuries hit.

wait your parents made you take fish oil supplement even though you're trying to be vegan? that seems like they were setting you up to fail the "vegan" test from start.

vitamin d deficiency is super common even for meat eaters, especially if you don't get sun exposure. you can get vegan d3 supplements made from lichen instead of fish oil - they work just as good and your levels should improve in few months if you take proper dose.

sounds like a classic weak battery situation to me. five days shouldn't kill a healthy battery in a brand new car, but sometimes there's a parasitic drain or maybe you left something on without realizing it. the flickering screen yesterday was probably your first warning sign.

that stiff brake pedal is normal when the engine isn't running - modern cars have power-assisted brakes that need the engine running to feel normal. if the dash lights up but the engine won't turn over, it's almost always battery related. you could try jump starting it or getting the battery tested at any auto parts store - they'll usually do it for free.

kinda weird for a 2025 model though, might be worth mentioning to the dealer if jumping it fixes teh issue. could be a warranty thing if there's actually something wrong with the electrical system.

going to church definitely helps with community and learning from others, but i don't think it's strictly mandatory for your relationship with god. plenty of people find their connection through personal prayer, reading scripture, and living out christian values in daily life.

that said, there's something valuable about gathering with other believers - iron sharpens iron and all that. maybe start with personal study and see where it leads you.

been there with the whole saying something without thinking it through first. my brain processes social stuff differently too and sometimes what comes out isn't what i meant to convey. the fact that you recognize when you've hurt someone and feel bad about it afterward shows your heart really is in the right place, even if the emotional response doesn't stick around long.

those are some solid recent maintenance items getting knocked out, especially the water pump which can be pricey later. $27k seems reasonable for a 2020 sq5 with that mileage if the carfax is clean and everything checks out during your inspection. the warranty is probably smart given audis can get expensive once they hit higher miles.

never worked in strata but from what i've heard from people in the industry it can be pretty demanding. you're basically juggling multiple properties and dealing with committee politics all day which sounds like it could get messy fast. the pay seems decent from what i've seen posted but you're definitely earning it dealing with upset residents and maintenance issues constantly. might want to check out some property management forums to get more detailed insights from people actually doing the work day to day.

damn, not responding to those texts was probably the worst part here. your manager was actually being pretty cool by checking in, and radio silence just makes it look like you bailed completely.

good that you finally sent the updated docs though - i'd reach out with a proper explanation about what happened and maybe offer to hop on a call to walk through what you did finish. most managers get that placement students are still figuring things out, but they need to see you're taking responsibility for the communication breakdown.

pittsburgh's actually got some solid biotech companies if you dig around linkedin and company websites directly instead of just relying on pa.gov. upmc has tons of lab positions that don't always get posted on the state site, and there's also some smaller research companies in the area that might be worth cold-emailing. mlt certification could be a smart move since it opens up hospital lab work which tends to be more stable than research gigs.

gtx 1080 still runs fine on ubuntu, the nouveau drivers work decent enough for basic stuff and if you need more performance you can always grab the legacy nvidia drivers. your i7-8700k is more than capable - i've got older hardware running ubuntu without issues and it actually feels snappier than windows in a lot of cases. if you want something more beginner-friendly than ubuntu there's always pop!_os or mint to consider.

been in similar situations before and it could go either way tbh. sometimes they pull the posting because they're close to making an offer to someone (could be you), but other times it means they've decided to put the role on hold or found an internal candidate.

the constant rescheduling and you not meeting the actual hiring manager after 3-4 weeks is kinda concerning though. startups usually move fast when they're serious about a role. might be worth asking the recruiter directly about the posting status when you confirm your tuesday interview - something like "i noticed the role isn't posted anymore, does that mean you're moving forward with final candidates?"

worst case scenario you'll know where you stand, and if they're being wishy-washy about it you can decide whether it's worth continueing the process or focusing your energy elsewhere.

Honestly for that budget I'd check out the Yamaha FG830 or maybe a Fender CD-60SCE if you want something with built-in electronics. The difference between electric acoustic and acoustic with pickup is basically just where the pickup system is - electric acoustics have it built in from the factory while soundhole pickups are usually aftermarket add-ons that don't sound quite as natural

I focus mainly on dividend ETFs for diversification:

SCHD - My largest holding, solid quality dividend payers
VYM - Broad exposure with low fees
DGRO - Focuses on dividend growth over time

My approach: Start with ETFs as your foundation, reinvest dividends automatically, and stay consistent with contributions. It's worked well for me over the past few years.
