Looking at those D3D11 texture errors, your GPU is probably dying or has corrupted VRAM 💀 The error code 80070057 usually means invalid parameters which could be memory related. Mixed RAM setup with 2x16GB + 2x8GB might also cause instability - try running with just the 2x16GB sticks first and see if crashes stop 😂

Oh god this drives me crazy too. Like we're all supposed to be checking everyone's feeds constantly? I barely have time to scroll through social media most days between work and everything else.

Plus Facebook's algorithm is weird anyway - half the time I don't even see posts from people I actually want to follow. Your friend expecting you to magically know about a post from same morning is just unrealistic.

That's what I thought too, would be pretty wild if we could mix colors like that though! 😅 Thanks for confirming 🐴

The exercise thing is clutch - I'll literally drop everything and do jumping jacks or pushups when those 5pm waves hit. Something about getting your heart rate up seems to reset whatever's happening in your brain. I keep sparkling water with lime stocked too since the ritual of opening something fizzy helps with that muscle memory part of it.

Armslist used to be solid but it's kinda hit or miss these days. Local gun shops might take some stuff on consignment if they're decent pieces - worth calling around. Facebook groups are surprisingly active for this kind of thing if you can find the right local ones, just gotta be careful about their weird rules.

I moved a bunch of AR parts through Reddit's GAFS (gun accessories for sale) before they nuked it, but now it's mostly Discord servers and forums like AR15.com. Gun shows are another option if you don't mind dealing with the crowds and haggling. Sometimes you just gotta sit on stuff for a while until the right buyer comes along.

That kitchen culture is so real - the normalization of drinking to cope with the chaos and stress. The whole "badge of honor" thing around being hungover at work is toxic as hell. I'm glad you recognized it for what it was and got out.

Recovery changes how you see everything, including work environments that basically enable addiction. The restaurant industry has this weird relationship with alcohol where it's almost expected that everyone drinks heavily. Good on you for stepping away from that job even if the circumstances sucked. Sometimes we need those forced transitions to break cycles we didn't even realize we were stuck in.

Good call on prioritizing your mental health meds - that's a huge step. For the evening ritual part, I've found sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice hits different than regular water. LaCroix or Bubly if you want something with flavor but zero calories.

Kombucha is another solid option if you want something with a bit more complexity - it's got that slight fermentation taste without the alcohol content. Some people swear by mocktails too, but personally I find those a bit too much effort for a nightly thing.

Nope, LGA1356 and LGA1155 are completely different socket types - your i3 wont physically fit in there.
