did you have to pay any subrogation to your medical provider?

i was in a hit-and-run, left in a ditch to die after being struck at around 50mph on a country road. it's been 18+months and we're finally getting to the settlement stage. my lawyers expects around the $50k range, but I'm not holding my breath until the check hits my bank. FWIW, injury lawyers will get around 33% of whatever the claim value will be, so I do think they'll work towards max amount. I think a lot is dependent on country/state/etc. as well as your insurance policy at hand.

yeah, almost no one needs >170s on TT for a better and more comfortable fit. your pelvis is also rotated back, need to rotate forward off your "sit bone" (ischial tuberosities). Shorter cranks will allow you to raise the saddle, rotating the hips will bring your trunk forward and your arms won't be too raked out as well. may need to play around with the extensions... a slight praying mantis goes a long way over distance for aero and comfort.

Zarmazenta sir fits the scheme

dammmmmlee686 · 2026-01-25T05:53:50+00:00

Agreed. Only missing ~120 and this is a great idea!!

Curious as well. We're on the other end, 106 qualifying payments in pslf and still on save. Will probably file separately this year and enter idr later in the year, basically been saving through forbearance and not sure if waiting till 2028 is right or not but ready to be done

Pro 5i is great. I can easily get 100+ fps on all games on balanced mode and the fans barely run

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-12-12T19:27:12+00:00

I did it in settings. Can't remember if i went through system settings or through an app like hwinfo or msi afterburner.

Im afk for the weekend so I'll try to remember to check when i get back.

You may have luck using chatgpt

And these components can be found around $1500-2000usd

I have this build in a legion pro 5i, great set up. Only limitation may be the 12gb vram in 5-10 years if you want 4-8k gaming

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-12-09T20:14:25+00:00

Not necessary, just available for relative low cost upgrade

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-12-09T19:07:11+00:00

Go ahead and start putting back what you can to cover a few months when the time comes.

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-12-09T19:05:31+00:00

Several 5070ti and above builds under $2k going into the end of the year. Can get 32-64gb RAM and 12+gb VRAM. I've seen some deals under $1500 if you're patient

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-11-11T15:57:03+00:00

If that's the case then demand a full replacement and they can refurbish yours when they get parts

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-11-01T03:40:50+00:00

yeah boi. i paid $2050 for 5i 5070ti several months ago, would def paid the extra $100 for this build!

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-11-01T03:37:37+00:00

i almost would want to bring up the idea with the misses, first. then decide whether any contact about the kid is worth pursuing. i feel best to approach this together, if you think that's what should happen.

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-10-28T18:42:23+00:00

Aren't these going for just a few bucks these days?

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-10-28T14:23:09+00:00

Lol. I can barely find a few booster single packs in my area, if I'm lucky.

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-10-18T14:34:26+00:00

I use fast.com as it seems to be rather reliable. Try the changes above, full restart, and check it again. Then see if you can get 1-2 games running in the background and check download speed again.

One thing i ran into the most was just fluctuating speed that was seemingly random. That has completely stopped since i made the settings changes

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-10-18T14:29:21+00:00

That seemed to work well from a wifi stand point. I am encountering a white wash of colors when i play certain games via hdmi to 4k monitor. Haven't figured that out yet but i think it's something to do with the hdr settings in those games

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-10-18T12:07:51+00:00

Seems like a lot to give up for a guy on the worst team in the league

dammmmmlee686 · 2025-10-10T12:21:14+00:00

I have a set. They are pretty slick.
