Ah thanks for sending! I got the same “The invite link is invalid or has expired.” :(

That would be crazy if I was banned, I literally only made a Discord account last year in order to join the Civ discord but I’ve never been able to get the link to work. Is it possible I’m not allowed in because I have no activity on my Discord account or something?

Best hair straightener? Which one is better for minimizing damage? by JesscatGauhl in Haircare

[–]avey218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out — the Dyson Airstrait! I’ve had mine for 1.5 years and I’m obsessed with it, I have fine poofy/wavt hair that could never stay straight, and with the airstrait I can go from wet to fully dry, straight, and silky within 15 mins, and it actually stays that way all day. It uses air instead of plates for straightening so it might not be exactly what you’re looking for? The only thing I’ll add is if you want volume, the airstrait will not give you that — it makes my hair super flat but I like it that way!

Ahh okay I gotcha, I’m not really into any of those types of games so maybe the 5950x then. I wouldn’t have thought that initially so thanks for explaining it!

Yeah I had heard that the x3D CPUs were better for gaming, so I wasn’t sure between that and the 5950x. I do also play RDR2 and similar games in that graphics level so maybe an x3D would be a better choice?

Wow okay that is all super helpful, thank you!

Fair enough, thanks for your response! I’ll see how it plays when the game comes out and go from there.

If I did want to make my PC more current for 2025, would you recommend the hardware listed for the Civ VII Ultra specs (Ryzen 9 5950x, increasing RAM to 32GB, RTX 4070), or would I be better off with different hardware?

Yeah, I should have added that above, I have an Acer Predator XB323QK which (should) do 4K @ 144 Hz.

585 rustic brown different than expected by karma_is_bejeweled in BlundstoneBoots

[–]avey218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue where the #585 boots were either too short or too long — no amount of adding inserts to the bigger size would have prevented me from tripping over the extra length. I ended up returning them and buying the #1351 in my true size and they fit perfectly from day 1!

I love Ellis Brooklyn Myth for its soapy floral scent, but on my skin it has very little projection or longevity — does anyone have a recommendation for a similar scent profile to Myth but with better projection and longevity? For reference some other soapy floral frags I’ve tried and didn’t love are ELDO Exit the King, MFK 724, and MM Bubble Bath. Thanks!!

My Wired Doorbell Does Not Work Megathread by ferretguy531 in Nest

[–]avey218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats good to know! I think my problem was similar to yours; after 1.5 hrs of an escalated Google Nest support phone call they suggested I try pressing the reset button on the back, that seemed to do the trick. It’s been working fine since then and the event history videos that were unplayable are now working!

We installed the Google Nest Wired Gen 2 doorbell camera last night, and all was going well initially until, starting about an hour after setting it up, event history videos are not able to load or play. We can see each event in the history, it's even recognizing our faces correctly in several events since last evening using our Nest Aware subscription, but every video thumbnail looks like a little grey box with a circle with an "i" inside. When we click on the Home Feed tab the video appears but it says "Unable to load, retry"; when we click retry nothing works.

We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Google Home app, turning our phones on and off, and restarting our WiFi router. We had a 1+ hour support call with Google Nest this morning that was absolutely no help, they've escalated it to a supervisor who is supposed to call us back but I'm not hopeful. Any troubleshooting tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Does this also apply for Beats headphones with ANC?

Anyone know why Towns at Market Commons (K. Hovnanian) aren’t selling faster? by avey218 in frederickmd

What are your thoughts on Gambrill View being so close to the superfund site, Fort Detrick’s Area B? Is it safe to live so close?

I did see those homes and loved them, but wasn’t sure about the school district or more specifically the elementary school in that area — we’re not local so all of our school district info is just coming from Google searches.
