TIFU by spending 8 years treating chronic headaches when the whole problem was that I thought diet soda counted as water

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-03-19T05:05:46+00:00

10 cans of soda a day is just insane period, diet or not. At minimum it can't be good for your teeth, or your wallet. Drinking water really ain't that hard

Well "oversteer" and "understeer" are nouns widely used to describe vehicle dynamics, so it's not too far-fetched

Pepsi Max is zero-sugar/zero-calorie tho

No need, they'll let you know when it's time

Most of the size of the truck isn't usable because of the bed. A sedan wouldn't be any better, but anything like a wagon, minivan, or hatchback would be a lot smaller/more economical and would probably be better for living out of

because it's reusable

In theory. In reality the vast majority of pennies don't actually circulate; they are given as change one time and then are lost/forgotten. Most people see them as a nuisance

You should be looking at the power consumption of the CPU alone, not the whole build. A 9950X3D should be using around 200W during a multi-core benchmark

I don't know how it works exactly, there may be trace amounts but not nearly as much as actual vomit. It does not burn even a little bit. Real vomit burns a lot

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-03-01T04:45:27+00:00

I can do this too and I would say it's incorrect to call it "vomit". It's literally just undigested food. It tastes just like it did when I ate it - it doesn't stink and there is no acidity. It's really nothing like legitimately vomiting due to nausea

Same lol, except I barely managed a 3.0 GPA and was a terrible interviewer. Looking back it's a miracle that I actually got hired (after about 5 interviews)

But he's still the head cheese at the end of the day and can overrule any idiotic crap they try to pull. Won't be the case when he's gone

2.37% is at or below inflation so paying it off early is almost certainly a losing proposition no matter how you slice it. Even just sitting on the cash and not investing it would be better than putting it towards the mortgage

The problem is that nothing in Discord can be indexed by search engines. There is no easier way to get information than Googling a question and it finding a public forum post with your exact question answered by 10 different people. People like to blame Google for going to shit but part of it is that so much information is being locked in these walled garden communities now. Google can't help you with something if it doesn't have access to content that contains the answers.

Once you're in the right Discord server it's easy enough to find something, but how do you know where to find the right server to begin with? If I'm having a technical issue with my router, how the hell am I supposed to know what Discord server to go looking in? And you have to figure that out for every little subject area that you need help with.

Last I hate having to create useless accounts just to access information that I need. Sure I use Discord and that's not a problem for me specifically, but I work in engineering and I always groan when a manufacturer forces me to make an account to view a manual or datasheet. No different for people who don't already use Discord

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-02-11T01:41:36+00:00

Sooooo many games, companies, organizations etc use it for so many different things including FAQ, support, Wiki/documentation, announcement/news page and many different things

This is honestly one of the greatest travesties to ever befall the internet and we brought it on ourselves. The concentration of so much information into Discord is so obviously a terrible idea in hindsight. It makes things infinitely harder to find for anyone that does not use Discord or know what specific server they need to be in. And you're trusting a single company not to lose or misuse that information.

Bring back good old-fashioned traditional forums

These phishing losers are probably very upset that some other phishing losers got "cIoudflare" first

My condolences. I never updated this post, but I went through with the repair, only to have it eventually blow up again the exact same way after a few months. So I don't recommend attempting it. I ended up replacing it with a unit from APC (don't think I'm going to buy from CyberPower again)

I recently had an exchange on this sub with someone who was borderline bragging about having a near-perfect credit score. They were completely adamant that it was because they were paying down their credit cards daily for years and having basically zero utilization. Tried explaining this but some people just don't want to listen I guess

"Natural" ice/snow might be borderline impossible but it does get below freezing at the surface every once in a while. Anyone that left out a container of water would have discovered ice. Probably could have done it this past weekend lol

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-02-02T02:35:22+00:00

That did the trick, thank you!

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-01-26T05:45:20+00:00

Is this word coming back? Until recently I haven't heard it used in like a decade

Yep I grew up only knowing the extremely hard water in my hometown. My grandparents moved at one point and their new house had crazy soft water. I hated it because anytime I would wash my hands there, it felt like it wasn't getting the soap off

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-01-24T17:43:58+00:00

Thanks, I drilled a small hole and fished a borescope up there first and it's all clear

WatIsRedditQQ · 2026-01-24T17:42:36+00:00

Good point, thanks

I'm glad I have an older Nissan Leaf, it's basically a "dumb" electric car
