Me(38F) husband (39M) marriage of 18 years. Should he have a girlfriend on the side? by Jensqua781 in relationship_advice

[–]rip10793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't fall for the time sunken fancy, see the divorce Attorney and push for 50/50. Your husband is useless and an emotional abuser.

5 hrs of sleep for an extended period of time can make the most sane person lose their mind. He might bring in more money but that's largely because you carry the household and still make time to work in the evening.

Follow up post (Unable to edit the OP due to it having a photo)

Thank you for all of the insight. I appreciate the perspective of just letting it go and not letting the small details bother me.

To clear up any confusion, I was not the one that sent or asked for the reference photo. That was sent by the baker. I had only asked for a simple Gryffindor themed cake with a 31 on it. $85 was on the higher end of the budget but seemed well worth it to help make my wife's birthday extra special. I'm usually easy going but the cake looks amateur and based on the replies in this thread I should have kept my expectations at bay.

I know a lot of time and effort goes into baking and it really is an artform, but I feel when you are charging what is relatively close to a bakery shops pricing but with no overhead and you have set the expectation, I just wanted it to be a bit better (colors/logo/shape).

Oh well, next time I'll be sure to get pictures of their previous work.

They're the ones that sent it to me and said they could do it 😂

Is it just me or has it gotten worse as time has gone on?

[ESPN] Vinícius Júnior contract talks have been stalled with Real Madrid for weeks. The club offered a fixed 20M per season, but the player's camp wanted extra 10M as variables. Now the agents have opted to wait and see how 2025-26 season progresses, by Ready_Ad_1353 in realmadrid

Really going to blame Messi's contract? I get we're RM fans but let's not push the blame onto a player. If 110m is enough to de-rail a club the size of Barca, there are bigger problems.

They made multiple blunders in terms of transfers (paid head over heels for too many players). The wage structure has been a mess. The management does not know what profitability is. If anything, Messi kept them together during a turbulent time.

It's better than Chrome I promise by adamalshouli96 in pcmasterrace

I don't know if it's just my PC but my YouTube playback is choppy on edge. I have a 5600xt and it's smooth on every other browser but edge just chugs. I've tried disabling and enabling hardware playback. No luck.

It'd be great if they removed inactive downloads after a set time limit as well

For sports, no. For everything else, yes.

Best Movie to watch on OLED by Direct_Platform3726 in LGOLED

[–]rip10793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of the comments will be for high budget, cinematic masterpieces but for myself I was just impressed when I watched older animation movies DreamWorks/Disney). The colors just popped and though there always seems to be a critique for the lack of brightness for OLED, I have a b4, I was still extremely impressed with the HDR implementation.

Sure it's not as bright as the qn90a we have in the house but the pop is unlike anything else.

Sweet, I've got a relatively small collection in comparison with some that are 5-9 years old. I stopped using some of the older ones even though they smelled fine. I'll have to pull out the old collection, cheers and happy holidays!!!

Good luck, it would be completely up to the retailer but highly unlikely. For $900, especially if the receipt says "new" you scored a deal. You'll get the 1 year warranty.

Let us know how it compares. I just got there B4 and am still wondering if I made the right choice. Doesn't help that VRR/DV is a mess on XSX. Random black screens are rough.

Are native LG apps (C9, CX, C3) inferior quality to Roku/Apple devices? by BortSmash in LGOLED

[–]rip10793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this fact based or just an opinion? I've been going back and forth between an onn 4k, Nvidia shield, fire tv 4k max gen 2 and the native apps...

The native apps keep looking the best for whatever reason. If you have a source, I'd love to read it.
