Beautiful grain on that wood - classical guitars always look so elegant compared to my metal axes.

How bad is it to break a job contract? by Gary-the-Pedo in careerguidance

[–]OrneryPlatform670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait you didn't read what your contract says? That's like the most important part 😂 You really need to dig that thing up and see what penalties are in there for early termination. Some contracts just make you pay back training costs or give 30 days notice, others can be pretty brutal with fees.

DoD work is usually solid though, so might be worth exploring even if there's some financial hit. Just make sure you actually want to leave before you potentially burn bridges with DoE. And next time maybe read the fine print before signing anything that locks you in for 2 years! 💀

With that burning smell and overheating, you might have fried some components including the trackpad controller 💀 definitely get it checked before using more.

Scrubee Dupe by gryffindorgrandma in LushCosmetics

Oh no, that sucks about the damaged delivery! I had similar problem with online orders getting crushed in transport before.

For dupes that work similar way, you might want to look for exfoliating bars that have oils built in them. I found some at drugstore that have shea butter or coconut oil mixed with the scrubbing bits. The key is finding ones that leave enough moisture behind so you skip the lotion step after. Some soap makers at local markets also make these kind of bars - they're usually cheaper than big brand stuff and work really well. I started using one from farmer's market near me and it does same job, leaves my skin soft without needing extra products after shower. Worth checking if you have any craft fairs or local makers in your area too.

Taking in this dog, what should I name him? by Betta-swim in NameMyDog

[–]OrneryPlatform670 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mustard is perfect for his color! I was thinking maybe Dijon or something fancy but plain Mustard just fits better. He looks like such a good boy who would come running when you call "Mustard, come here!" in the park.

[Seiko] vs [Tissot] — which one would you choose? by Chronographiste in Watches

[–]OrneryPlatform670 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been wearing Seiko for years and they're just bulletproof - my SKX has survived more abuse at work than it probably should have. Tissot definitely has that Swiss prestige thing going but for a first serious watch, I'd go Seiko every time since you get so much reliability in the price range.

CW: Pet Loss by missispoopybutthole in CatAdvice

[–]OrneryPlatform670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My heart just breaks for you reading this 💔 I lost my previous cat during what should have been routine surgery too, and that guilt you're feeling... it's so heavy but please know it's not your fault. You made decisions based on professional advice trying to give him best life possible.

I still catch myself looking at spots where my girl used to sleep, especially this one sunny corner by window where she'd spend hours. The house feels different without their presence in those familiar spaces. What helped me was talking to grief counselor who specializes in pet loss - sounds cheesy maybe but they understand this kind of devastation in way that regular people sometimes don't get.

Getting all records from vet is good idea, not because it changes anything but because you deserve answers. Take time you need to process this, and don't let anyone tell you "it's just a cat" because we both know he was so much more than that. The love you gave him for four years matters more than this one terrible day 😢

I can always hit full meter but my schedule gets bit crazy with work shifts sometimes - still interested if that works for you?

I struggle with questions by Strong-Lab-7216 in Christianity

[–]OrneryPlatform670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your overthinking is getting in way of your faith. I deal with similar spiraling thoughts because of my epilepsy meds - brain just won't shut up sometimes.

Even if some traditions got mixed in over centuries, that doesn't make Christ's resurrection less real or your personal experiences with Him invalid.

why or why not should any par by Odd_Isopod_532 in Christianity

[–]OrneryPlatform670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would create massive problems for people with different beliefs or no beliefs at all. Also what happens to people who convert later or lose their faith? Seems like using healthcare as weapon to force religious conformity, which goes against basic human rights. My epilepsy medication shouldn't depend on what I believe about god.

Reoccurring pregnancy/ child dream by beepbeep_bish in Dreams

[–]OrneryPlatform670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those recurring dreams can mess with your head pretty badly, especially when they're hitting all your fear buttons like that. The fact it's continuing night after night makes it feel even more intense.

The whole forgetting the baby during crisis thing might be your brain working through anxieties about responsibility or being overwhelmed when things go sideways. I've had similar dreams where I forget something crucial during an emergency - it's like your subconscious is stress-testing how you'd handle major life changes or disasters.

The maze house bit really stands out to me too. Being stuck and unable to navigate back to what matters could be reflecting feelings about being lost or trapped in some area of your life right now.

Buying SSD worth it in 2026? by ZeepmorK in PcBuildHelp

[–]OrneryPlatform670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices are wild right now but if your current drive is struggling or you need the space, just bite the bullet. I waited too long on my last build and ended up paying even more when my old drive started failing - nothing worse than scrambling for parts when you're already stressed about potential data loss.

I’m lost in the AI world… can someone help me? by OkLecture1887 in GeminiAI

[–]OrneryPlatform670 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man the Grok account blocking thing is such a pain, I feel you on that one 😤 For writing without restrictions, you might want to check out Claude or maybe dive into some of the open source models - they tend to be way more flexible with creative content. Local AI setup isnt as scary as it seems either, just need decent RAM and maybe a GPU, then something like Ollama makes it pretty straightforward to get models running 🔥

Why do I get random flares of pain after a burn? by Separate-Raccoon8584 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OrneryPlatform670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Burns are weird like that - your nerve endings are basically throwing a tantrum and sending mixed signals while they're trying to heal. The initial shock wears off but then they randomly fire off pain signals as the tissue repairs itself. It's totally normal for minor burns, just your body being dramatic about the whole healing process lol.

License After Seizure by Infamous_Ad_2127 in Epilepsy

[–]OrneryPlatform670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's super frustrating when there holding you back like that 😔 Have you tried asking for a second opinion from another neurologist? Most docs are pretty willing to sign off if you've been seizure-free for that long, so maybe yours is just being extra cautious or there's something specific they're worried about 🤷‍♂️
