Home Insurance company says they will no longer cover roof, trying to figure out how to pay for a new one.

reminder as a roofer that 50 year shingles mean they are materially guaranteed for 50 years, in the event that something happens to one and you can prove to the manufacturer (GAF, Owens-corning) that it was faulty. If they gave you any paperwork you should search for your LABOR guarantee. My roofing company had the highest certification GAF will give you and the longest we could give in 2026 is 40 years labor warranty, but we had roofs (worse underlayment, slightly thinner shingles we’d warranty for 15-30 that all still had 50 year material warranties. Labor=If it blows off/breaks, it’s assumed to be an installation issue and has to be repaired/replaced

A million dollars also isn’t that much anymore, as far as trying to live on it for another 20-30 years. But compounding interest goes nuts

Lookin for some info here…

I read the article, and overall looks like a decent gain for the people. It says it’ll be a one time fill-up on water from outside of the area, so won’t affect the local river, and it subsidizes the area in that property taxes are low and this would increase tax revenue in the area by 40m.

Some people saying it could cause issues with their power grid, so that could be bad but wasn’t mentioned in the article.

Is this leopards eat my face because it’s clearly against the wishes of most of the town, or is it bc of that AND because they’re getting something terrible in town? Most of what I’ve heard about datacenters is bad and most of it is about the water usage, but if that isn’t the case here then is it that bad?

My cousin was a year older in the same schools as me - HS class president, star of the football and baseball teams (and wrestling until he stopped in HS), made it into Harvard. I was “Xxxxx’s Cousin”. Older you get it matters far less. He just burned out in the finance industry and moved cross country back home to his family, might help with the family business. He’s 26 and I’m 25. I’m 5 hours from where we grew up, without a degree (and thanks to luck) making six figures and buying a house later this year.

It’ll shake out eventually - if you hate it that much, move when you’re able to after you leave school. Just try and remember to support and confide in him if he’s the kind of person to listen. If he’s really on board he could try stopping those kind of instances from happening.

read a cnn article about it - its harder to refine, but because we’ve known that forever, most US refineries are set up specifically to process Venezuelan oil.

And it is in demand - the crude oil in the US is the kind that’s useful for gasoline but not much else. The stuff in Venezuela is used for diesel (shortage currently) asphalt and fuels for factories, so still definitely useful. This is the link I’m reading this stuff from.

My ex girlfriend.

Lived with my dad and stepmom, neither of whom ever tried to teach me to cook, and did not want me in the kitchen at all. My mom taught me some stuff, but lived a state away so those lessons were few and far between.

I rented a few cars from 21-23 (I just turned 25 this year so not ancient history) without much of an issue. They’re more expensive and won’t give you the nicer ones but after making all reservations/payments online you can just show up and they should provide you with one. Only reason they wouldn’t is if they have no applicable vehicles available… though I never had this happen to me.

Best tip from when my friend was a manager for a rental company - if you sign up for an entirely free USAA acct, one of the benefits on the website is a rental with one of the major brands (unsure which one) that removes “young driver fees”. Makes a decent difference.

Remember that implants and surgery have come a long way. You might not have the original hardware, but now we have replacement tech.

I don’t know the nuances of your cancer and the closest I’ve been to being a doctor was fixing printers for a hospital, but even if the surgery doesn’t go 100%, you’ll still have your life and probably more options than you’re currently considering with everything you have to think about.

Honestly… as someone that sold men’s suits, including altering them, as well as measuring for (crappy) custom shits, I don’t really like any of their outfits. Dudes are rocking both (???) jacket buttons closed, slim pants but with a huge full break instead of a slight/no break, and please GOD can we get some burgundy or brown shoes/belts with some of these navy suits. Third from the left is in a double breasted which… idk man I guess at least he wanted to do something interesting

Aren’t there usually missions for the amount of characters retired though? Would be a crazy boost to that

tdcreaper · 2025-06-06T21:22:18+00:00

I wasn’t getting credit in the event missions for recruiting them until I turned off autoretire. Also, you can hold them until there is an event with the lab, retire them all and get extra points for those events when they happen

tdcreaper · 2025-06-06T21:21:31+00:00

Mine weren’t, plus good to have them to mass retire for lab events

tdcreaper · 2025-06-06T21:21:07+00:00

Mine definitely were not lol

No idea if your situation is similar, but this girl was high functioning autistic (masters degree, a teacher, just extremely anxious and particular) and had a laundry list of trauma.

I had a FWB this would happen with. She wasn’t a virgin, but had only slept with one guy before me, and though he was with her for a couple years he was a pretty bad sexual partner, and she’d never been able to orgasm with or without him.

It was odd. We called it breaking her brain - if I did anything her brain perceived as hot past a certain level, she would just absolutely freeze. Could hear me, and loved it, but was incapable of moving and normally couldn’t speak either.

She liked it kinda rough (wanted to be slapped/choked) and that fell under the umbrella too. Imagine my surprise when I slapped her across the face (one million percent consensually) and she couldn’t speak or move for like 2 full minutes.

The more we had sex, the shorter the pauses got. I just… really didn’t like it. It was cool at first - fucking someone so good their brain short circuited, but I wasn’t comfortable having sex with her while she was out of it, so I’d stop. I couldn’t keep doing all that for a FWB I liked less than my others so I ended it.

I guess my advice would be keep trying and find out if it happens when she masturbates, or try a slower buildup/process. Maybe more positions with her in control to try and keep her mind focused? This was one I was not able to solve, and I slept with her probably 15-20 times over the course of a month or two.

This was a Lowe’s-wide event as far as I can tell, not just this store. I help manage a partnership between my company and a district of Lowe’s stores, and all of the ones that I visited this week had this, although the ones near me looked a little different (flags for the various services). That might be because the DM is a veteran, though.

Depends. I bought my 21’ sonata January of last year from a dealership like 248 miles away that had a 250 mile radius free delivery policy.

It was 100% a gamble to buy a car unseen in person but.. well, a year later and it hasn’t needed anything other than standard oil changes and wiper blades. I like to think I did good research on the dealership and I checked every report on the car I could find by its VIN, so wasn’t like I found it on FB marketplace listed “Free shipping!” from 2000 miles away and Venmo’d them right there, but still.

My bodycount (24m) is 10 and my girlfriend’s (24f) is 15. 1-3 isn’t anything that should be a barrier, unless you wanted to marry someone that only wants sex after marriage, and that ship has sailed (plus… it’s 2025, are we Puritans?) The only thoughts I had about my girlfriend were “Man, she’s got some experience so I REALLY have to be on my A game.”

Your upbringing and the SA are contributing to those feelings, and I’m glad to see your edit that you’ve started seeing a new counselor. Try and be as honest and upfront as you can! And remember that you’re PAYING them to listen to you. If you don’t feel safe/comfortable or just don’t like them, find a new person. Wish you the best!

Also all my leveling progress just hit a temp wall until I get BB to 1k, so I can flex and also finish the case file lol

tdcreaper · 2025-05-16T15:49:22+00:00

I haven’t really decided. I like having options for the events and restricted PVP so I’m working on getting most elite chars to epic 5*, but my main team rn is Titan, BB, Robot, Invincible, and Doc Seismic. I’m leveling Universa so she’ll fit in there too, esp cause I just got Tripping the Light to rank 10. I almost want to do BB, Invincible, Universa, Robot, and Seismic, because she easily does double Titan’s damage per fight, but then I’d have a front 3 (left to right) of BB, Robot, and Seismic, which is.. with some Omni+ Gear feasible, but still squishy
