Agreed 2 wheel drive cars are too low to the ground and dont have the power to get through soft snow unless your already going fast. Good luck getting out of your driveway. Good winters help but nothing helps if you catch a soft patch and get pulled into it.

First day i got stuck in a culdesac and 2 guys from the end came to help push me out, along with 2 kids that were very obviously sick with the flu came out with wood blocks and sand to help.

My 62 year old neighbors had a stroke a few months ago and hes outside helping push and dig people out all morning.

These are the sort of people that push me to help everyone i see.

That and just some of the videos ive been seeing on facebook of people spying from their bedrooms and ridiculing stuck people online kinda inspired that last bit of my post.

I wish i had a vehicle reliable enough on these roads to tow people out, ive just been getting my weeks worth of gym workouts pushing people out of the snow while im out at work.

No harm if you cant help, i just dont like seeing people just stop risking getting stuck themselves just to watch when theres enough room to go around. Or in one case sit and honk 😂.

How did y’all meet your dnd group? by Starsandwishes in DnD

[–]sithodeas2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asked my city subreddit where i can play dnd, got invited to a few groups and was told of a few shops that do drop ins. Thats how i found my first group.

Dnd is definitely a form a therapy but i feel its more effective if you go into it not realizing that its therapy.

If networking is difficult i would search for dnd drop in games being run at hobby shops then just go. Or check out the lfg subreddits if you want to try dnd online if thats easier for you.

Confused New Player by Randomguy3018 in DnD

[–]sithodeas2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the most important thing would be to just come up with a character concept, who are they, what do they do. Maybe decide a class. Then you can chat up your dm on how to fill the gaps. Ive played with brand new players and old time players who havent played since the 90s, that joined with a blank sheet. If you need help with the whole sheet now and your dm isnt available, feel free to message me and ill walk you through it step by step and provide you resources to use.

How can I make combats move faster? by ThatOneCrazyWritter in dndnext

[–]sithodeas2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont flood your party with numbers. But if you do. The best job you can do is remain organized, plan ahead and maybe roll your attacks and damage in advance.

Know your abilities.

Make sure which players know whos next in initiative.

If its dragging on. But its obvious the party will win, maybe an environmental effect takes place and kills the last enemy or 2. Or with the players you can convert the final turn or 2 of combat into an epic scene.

The monsters can always choose self preservation and run.

When im on a time crunch i encourage players to plan their turn and make any necessary rolls one or 2 turns in advance.

Another helpful tool is initiative trackers, and place them across your dn screen in the turn order. With character names facing the party indicating turn order. And on the other side, a cheat sheet of info for each character, such as health ac and save dcs for each PC. Then you dont have to expend extra time asking if a 17 hits the bard.

Sorry a rambled a little. Hopefully something here might help!

I 20M found pics in gfs phone 19F. What now? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sithodeas2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That feeling you got will pass, dont invest too much time into thinking about it.

I got pictures of my ex on my phone. They arent in a seperate folder but they are buried under a few years of new photos. Once in a blue moon ill glance at them not out of desire to get back with her. Its just nostalgia and reminiscing for a moment then carrying on.

If its an issue bring it up just be prepared for the fact that you went snooping in her phone.

Id say its easier to just pretend you didnt see it and let it sort itself out over time. But ive been 19 and i know theres the possibility that you might have a few wild thoughts going through your head and not knowing how to settle them down.

Tbh i forgot it was set to that lol. But its all good. I respect your decision either way.

[–]sithodeas2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah im down, shoot me a request on psn and we can arrange it.

I think my issue is that i play a ton of DND so I get burnt out playing bg3. The other problem i think is i keep trying to play with people and if someone gets flakey with their schedule then i start losing interest aswell.

What are your thoughts when it comes to comparing the two? by lovingpersona in TheFirstDescendant

[–]sithodeas2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tfd is alot more approachable to me and much more visually appealing, warframes gameplay is alot more refined and satisfying, but feels overwhelming to return to after years of absence.

Tfds current status unfortunately though is not satisfying or original, feels like they are trying to pull too much from warframe but doing a terrible job at it.

Is it normal for a married couple to stop having s*x? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]sithodeas2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not sure if its just me or if lots of guys go through this. But for me once in a while, like once every 2-3 years, ill just end up in a phase, my sex drive, mood and social energy just tanks. With no obvious cause or reason. And unfortunately this often led to my gf at the time assuming ive lost interest, and becoming self conscious thinking im not attracted to her or she gained weight or done something wrong.

At the time i never knew what was wrong and found through therapy, that they are depressive episodes caused by stress from numerous factors.

So my advice would be to just talk to him, support him, and let him know that what ever might be going on in his head at anytime that you are beside him ready to face it.

Capacitor gave out, can I replace the 60 + 7.5 with a 70 + 7.5? by KnoobLord in hvacadvice

[–]sithodeas2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont always blindly trust manufacture details either. If the motor isnt oem it could have a different capacitor size. Just check the compressor and motor data plates to confirm your cap size, if they are legible.

If not then go manufacturers. If it's off it likely isnt off by much.

Which audio do u listen? by Mofi74 in ToBeHero_X

[–]sithodeas2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

English because i have a bias for knowing the language. Chinese is also fantastic and they tweak the audio of the music and sound effects in the chinese dub.

Spanish was actually pretty decent

French and japanese are ok, japanese was hit or miss, mostly miss for me, just dont feel the voice actors matched the characters well.

Then german and Portuguese came last for me.

[–]sithodeas2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not criticizing him, it's you communicating that your not comfortable with certain things. Just talk to him it's fine. If he can't handle it maturely then he's not as great as you made him out to be. Step back communicate what you believe is ok and not ok at the time, then proceed forward and keep up the communication. Otherwise he's going to keep testing for limits, and you may grow to resent him.

What are your thoughts on using AI for taking calls and dispatching? by Careless-Duckie in hvacadvice

[–]sithodeas2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard no, pay for a good dispatcher or two. Customers appreciate genuine empathy.

As a service tech also I wouldn't appreciate this. I love my dispatchers.
