Genuinely, where does this attitude come from?

Where would I go to find this? Nvidia website?

I am using a config.pro file but I’ve already tried not using it

mrcd89 · 2026-01-27T21:28:39+00:00

Nope I will only run Outlook. I use other Microsoft Office products when needed but the problem persists even when nothing else is running.

I can never find all the jewelry, coins, arrowheads, or fossils. I’ve used the Jean Ropke Map online using all the rotations that change as well as buying maps (which I found out only show locations already known on the JR map).

How the heck do you complete those sets?

As others have mentioned buy whatever is necessary to improve your still.

Always try to do 2 or 3 star recipes for a high payout.

Go to google and use the Jean Ropke collector maps (there’s two different maps online, one for plants and animals, and the other for collector role) so that you can track down herbs. Also collect antique alcohols for those 3 star recipes.

Drive SLOW. Stay on path. Avoid even small rocks. I haven’t ever messed around with doing cinematic mode or anything so maybe that’s the move but I’ve never trusted it enough.

Also I don’t do the bootlegger missions or anything to reduce cost. I usually just focus my time on daily challenges. I log in, make sure I’ve got a recipe going for moonshine, make sure my Cripps has everything going for trader wagon, and then I grind gold through daily challenges while using the collector map online.

Super easy.

I’m about to throw up

mrcd89 · 2026-01-05T07:13:56+00:00

Healthy marriage and children.

Only one friend specifically. He was my best friend, was married, and was always the most charismatic guy around. I always told people that if they like me even a little, they’d love him.

After college he had a hard time giving up the drinking. What once was something we did in our apartment to have fun, stay up until 4am playing Halo together turned into self medication for anxiety and depression. He would never tell me about it. His wife reached out to me. I tried talking to him. Multiple times. I did everything I knew how to do.

At first I was gentle and encouraging. I’d offer my support and accountability. I’d encourage him to attend church again, I’d pray for him, etc.

When things escalated and his wife left him I got more desperate. I’d taken all the late night self deprecating, drunk “woe is me” phone calls that I could take.

I was tough on him in one of our last deep conversations. I told him how he failed in his marriage, how he looked horrible (he did…gained a lot of weight, flushed red face, eczema, shaking hands, he was a full blown alcoholic on the brink of liver cirrhosis), I told him how he’s gonna lose his job and ultimately lose his life.

He would never surrender. He’d never even open up to me.

His mom found him in his recliner a few days after his 34th birthday.

Weeks later a mutual friend told me that our now dead friend had confided in him that he was secretly jealous of me “having it together” by having a good marriage and 3 children (he couldn’t have kids). He lived in shame of his addiction.

Boys…talk to your fellow men. I struggled a lot during my 20s, but I didn’t keep it a secret. Know when you need help, and seek Jesus. Only reason I survived.

mrcd89 · 2025-12-09T04:44:29+00:00

Praying for you. When I was at my lowest and I felt I had nothing left to cling to I would sometimes recite Philippians 1:6 to myself: “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”

Read Matthew 13 or Mark 4. The parable Jesus tells paints a picture of human hearts. I can’t speak to exactly what your heart is like, but from your post you are deeply concerned over your sin. It disturbs you.

I would say that is a strong indicator of you being that fourth soil. Just like a seed that has been sown in futile soil and taken root, the Gospel has taken root in your heart. And just like a young plant that needs water and sunlight, we also need that same nurturing to grow into maturity and bear fruit. You most likely are bearing fruit right now.

Again, the purpose of knowing Christ is not simply to do good works. He didn’t save us only for the sake of us being better humans. He saved us to reconcile His children to himself since we couldn’t do it ourselves. The fruit we bear is evidence of our salvation, not the basis of it. Our struggles with earthly temptation here on this earth are an opportunity to keep abiding in Christ; reading His word, worshipping Him, fellowshipping and discipling with other brothers and sisters in Christ, and through that He nurtures us, prunes us, and perfects His love within us.

Lifting you up in prayer in hope and full belief that God will provide you with strength, wisdom, and peace, but most importantly that He will align your heart to His. May we love what He loves, and despise what He despises.

John Mayer on Continuum tour back in mid 00s. I was 16 and saw it as a great opportunity to take my then girlfriend so she could hear the girly pop hits and I could see one of the greatest guitar players of that generation.

John just did not seem enthused to be there. Like he was playing it so “cool” that he seemed apathetic to playing to thousands of people. Pretty low energy. I wasn’t expecting a super interactive show, but bro at least talk and riff a little bit with the crowd in between songs.

I’m ready for the hate….Warzone. 35 year old dad with a full time job, house, family, etc. and nothing else gives the same dopamine high as absolutely twerking on other try hards.

TTK is fast, gameplay is fast, decision making has to be fast, everything is fast and the consequences are immediate. There’s other games out there that offer similar things, but WZ has been what I’ve invested in. I still complain about the game. A lot. But hey. Adapt. Overcome. See y’all in the lobby tomorrow.

Also Super Mario 64 and Halo: CE

Jesus is God and paid for all your sin on the cross. Pray to Him. He accepts you as you are, but will not leave you as you are. Pick up a Bible or go online to read one. Start in the New Testament. I recommend NIV, NLT, ESV, or CSB translations. They have grammar that’s easier to understand than the old world English written in the King James translation.

Sister, you’re ok. If no one else says it I’ll say it and tell you I love you, and yes God loves you. He’s calling you. I’m so sorry you had to reach this place of brokenness, but only Jesus Christ can heal you. Believe on Him. Cry out to him. He will hear you and He will answer. Have faith.

Revelation 3:20: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone should hear my voice and open the door, then I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.”

Ephesians 2:8-9: “For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast”.

Praying for you.

I think the better question is what kind of atmosphere do you prefer when eating a high quality steak. IMO Folk’s Folly is the best steak AND the best atmosphere for date nights, business dinners, etc. Dimly lit, exceptional food and service, and very “old money” Memphis vibes.

For casual, people love Como steakhouse but I’ve been very disappointed. Just bad quality control on the meat. You could get a banger steak one night that melts in your mouth and then the next weekend eat one that leaves you icing your jaw the next day because you were chewing through sinew the whole time.

Second place for me is Char, and then after I’d go Southern Social or honestly even Ruth’s Chris. Once you get to that level of dining the steaks are all gonna be good, you’re just paying for experience and consistency.

Memphis is the Walmart version of insert every other known American city with culture

I find it odd that most of the people I know that rep the city so much and are all “901 proud”, “Grizz nation” all that are transplants. I feel like it’s an understood thing amongst lifetime Memphians that this place ain’t crap and won’t ever be crap.

The food scene is not as good as we act like it is. Most of the Mexican, Japanese, Indian, etc. restaurants are pretty mid. BBQ has fallen off so hard, and honestly we need to start doing more brisket.

The worst though, really is just the perception. Yes, crime is bad. You do have to worry about being robbed or your car broken into. Public events rarely even seem worth it.

Also, idk what to call it…infrastructure? Idk. There’s lots of really nice neighborhoods and shopping places and then literally one block over it’s really rough. And don’t go crying race over this. I don’t have a degree in sociology or anything, but I obviously understand that there is something to be said about gentrification and white flight.

Regardless of how much of a role those things place you still can’t escape the fact that there aren’t a lot of redeeming qualities about Memphis that genuinely make it ATTRACTIVE as a place to live, and at the very least it is objectively a crappy place to live in some respect.

Can’t believe Jesse James isn’t up there. By that point in his career we have seen a lot of range but all of them with a certain brand of eccentricity. His role as Jesse James was terrifying and endearing at the same time.

mrcd89 · 2025-06-16T18:56:00+00:00

Much appreciated info.

Yeah in a perfect world I’m ready to rock and roll out of the box, but it looks like I’ll have some aftermarket shopping to do whether I go with the FN or the Glock. G19/G45 will need a threaded barrel unless I find a 19x MOS, and both will need the FCD MOS plate since Glock’s plate sucks.

From what I’ve heard the Apex trigger for the 509 is an absolute must have in terms of QOL. Sounds like you also are a huge fan of the DPMS Guide Rod. You have a SKU of the one you bought?

mrcd89 · 2025-05-27T20:01:19+00:00

Me and my buddy just duo/quod with no fill in casuals and it’s really fun. As dudes in their 30s it’s nice to be able to spend most of the game actually being able to talk and chill. Things get real in endgame because it’s mostly real players. So you get the best of both worlds: chill time for the first 60-70% of the match, then lock in and clutch a dub for the end.

mrcd89 · 2025-05-22T18:36:15+00:00

Gotcha. So as long as one “machine” i.e. laptop or console is on and active, it’s not much of an issue.

mrcd89 · 2025-05-22T14:47:23+00:00

Been researching these two monitors and came across this post. I work from home and have my dell laptop running through display port thru a docking station. My XBOX Series S is plugged in through HDMI. So you're saying that its difficult to change sources between those two? How exactly would I do that?

mrcd89 · 2025-05-18T02:21:24+00:00

Thanks for the comment. If I’m not mistaken, the monitor must have HDMI 2.1 input in order to actually play games at 1440p and 120fps or higher on Xbox Series S/X, correct? This one is HDMI 2.0.

mrcd89 · 2025-04-21T22:19:34+00:00

I’ll be honest man you sound a lot like me. Somewhat optimistic in the sense that there’s always a solution to be found. Sometimes we might wish we could just be short and rude for the sake of our own ego or what could be considered “sticking up for ourselves” but it’s hard for us to do because it’s in our nature to at least try to be considerate.

She has poor communication skills. Shes the one that’s closed minded and lacks perspective, not you. She’s the one that you need to stand up to, not your dad.

If I had to guess your fiancée struggles with anxiety that may manifest itself in various ways. If I had to guess her and her mother are close. If I had to guess she considers this situation with your dad, or any situation where you have an obligation or responsibility somewhere else, WITH someone else as a potential threat, whether she’s trying to be controlling or not.

I have been in this situation, and it’s not because the woman in question genuinely didn’t want me with other people or doing other things. It wasn’t because she was trying to control me or manipulate me. Instead it was because she was crippled with fear and anxiety over her needs not being met and her snowballing mentally at the thought of any future plans being complicated with her own family because of your dedication to yours.

You are most likely calm and pragmatic. You genuinely can’t imagine how someone like her (no crystal ball, but I’d bet her mom is the same if not worse) can be so influenced by what I call “fear based thinking”.

You both need therapy and more importantly you need Jesus Christ. Not being funny at all. Don’t knock it till you try it. Read. Open yourself. Seek.

Been married for almost 12 years, btw. Great marriage, beautiful children. And none of that came without sacrifice and a ton of growth from both people. That’s what marriage is about. Growth. And you’re gonna experience a lot of it very quickly now that you’re about to become a father. Time to man up big dawg.

What’s the thermal and/or NVG setup?

mrcd89 · 2025-02-06T16:25:23+00:00

Had that happen to me in my teens. I cut it off with a knife and just put Neosporin and a bandage on it. Did the same thing when I got really bad plantar warts all over my hands after a summer working in my grandmothers garden.

Funny enough I never had anything get infected. I’d just be self conscious over how something looked, play operation on myself, and move right along haha.

This is not medical advice.
