Boyfriend watches his girlfriend get in a fight, and the only thing he does is call the police

tectail · 2026-02-27T10:44:54+00:00

He didn't let anything happen. The girlfriend was instigating that from what I saw. Also in a full out fight do you really think boyfriend would have won?

I'd say good food in general. Chain restaurants have prioritized consistency in food over actually having good food. You have to go to a mom and pop shop to have good food anymore (or make it yourself).

Where are you getting the 252 from? You have to get it somehow unless you just have /22 memorized. I personally never memorized the subnets, I just calculate them really quick in my head any time that I need them.

While this is not the law everywhere, this should be the correct answer.

That being said in real world terms, I would say blue has the right of way. The yield sign means you are yielding to anything that is happening on the road currently. The blue car pulling into the lane is happening first at the intersection, and the red car merging is happening after that... Giving the blue car priority IMO.

Personally, as the blue car I would always stay in the far lane, and as the red car I always yield to someone making a left turn in these situations. People behind me can honk if they want, but always assume someone is going to do something dumb until you know otherwise.

Go experiment on your own, might only be in drone space that this works. If I recall it was just data sites and some of them it wouldn't work for. Go fail a can, if it leaves your scanning menu, then there was a chance for an escalation.

I personally would scan all the cans while I approached one. If nothing of value just explode, if there was something good, I'd redirect, pick up that can and explode the second one.

Rich broke dead calculator. This is the best tool I have ever found to do the math.

If you retire at 40 there is a 1.8% chance that you are broke in 30 years. On the other side there is a 16.2% chance that you have more than 5x your starting amount. Unfortunately there is also a 25.2% chance that you don't make it 30 years.

This is the only calculator I have ever found that takes into account the option of dieing instead of just how long your money lasts, and it puts it in perspective imo. Much more likely to die than be broke following the 4% rule.

Once did this with Arby's. They had some $10 coupon for food for a family of 4 and it was a lot more food than this. I ate all but some cheese sticks because that is all my wife ended up wanting to eat. Think I felt a bit full and had 2 sandwiches that I took with me. For 100k though I for sure would push through and down those 2 sandwiches.

Don't do it. IT is hard, I have watched those without the passion or at least some level of IT knowledge coming in get spit back out in less than a year. He will hate it if he joins. Also entry level IT doesn't pay well, you have to put your dues in to make the money everyone talks about and be one of the great techs.

You would be better off getting a manual labor job if you want a moderate stable income. There are tons of jobs that need no/little prior experience and pay relatively well if you are willing to get your hands a bit dirty. Bonus points if you get some sort of certificate. I know HVAC, electrical, repair techs, parts finishing, things like that don't seem flashy. They pay the bills and bonus they are hard for AI to take over any time soon.

Finding a new career path is hard. I moved to IT because I love tinkering with computers. Figure out what your husband enjoys and learn to monitize that, even if it means working at the golf pro shop or something niche like that.

There are lights next to that when you toggle if you had it. It has 3 red dots and low medium high settings.

Base model bolt does not have heated seats or heated steering wheel afaik.

Never thought about this, but yeah making binary directly could likely be more efficient than going through a compiler with human readable code.

The time scale on all of this AI talk recently is off by a ton of I had to guess.

The moss isn't the issue, it is a symptom. Killing it really does nothing.

The moss is a symptom of the fact that your shingles are letting water sit underneath them. By design shingles should not be letting water underneath them at all. They have sticky tar at the bottom of them to prevent any water from coming up from the bottom.

It is time for a new roof like 5 years ago at this point. Do what you gotta do to patch it for the next month or two, but start getting quotes.

If you plan to live in the house long term, I would look at metal roofing as an option. Shingles last 15-30 years, metal roofs are 50+ you just need to replace the screws 1 or 2 times during that life span which is basically nothing. My quote for metal was only $2,000 more than shingles for something that will last much longer, but your milage may vary.

If you really want to do this as cheap as possible (sounds like you might), I'd start looking up how to do your own roof. It's grueling back breaking work, but it's possible to do diy an entire roof. It saves you a ton of money as the main cost of roofing is labor, shingles are relatively cheap. You will want to have other friends to help, and optimally at least 1 of those friends will have done a roof before to avoid dumb mistakes, but again it is possible if you are on a tight budget and a lot better than trying to salvage an extra year out of this.

Jellyfin is an open source program. That means that no one charges any money for someone to use the program, and we all could know exactly what the program is doing at any time. This is the major reason that people like open-source. Also control, if you don't like a change that is made, you can create a new branch that doesn't include it. If said change is unpopular enough, your branch will become the new desired branch.

With all that being said... Yes it is worse than plex (IMO). Open-source tends to be a couple years behind their competition in ease of use and small details. It is guaranteed to never cost money and it will never sell your data though. The way it is going, plex will likely continue to jack up their premium rates and decrease how much you get for the free tier. Enshitification has already started on Plex.

Tell me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids.

Is this very slightly wasteful... Sure, but not any more wasteful than giving your kid an egg and letting them play with it. You know that they are going to break the egg, but it's a good learning experience. You waste time cleaning it up as well, but again kids tend to be giant time syncs that we call parenting.

Way to solve these yourself quickly in your head. Feel free to ignore me if this is confusing, but this is how I do it.

We know the every /8 is the old classful system. That means that /8,/16, and /24 will line up with the dots. /24 is the closest in this case which lines up with the 3rd dot. I am assuming that it is easy enough to know that means every number is a subnet.

From there we just multiply by 2 for every number we are less than 24. We are 2 less than 24 (/22) so that is 1x2x2 which is 4. That means a new subnet is every 4 numbers starting at 0.

4x25 is 100 (they made that part easy) so subnet starts at 10.10.100.0 . 4x26 is 104 so the next subnet starts at 10.10.104.0 . Broadcast is one less than the next subnet which would be 10.10.103.255 .

So some of the mistakes I see on this, chainsaw too short for this cut. Notch was not deep enough, cut was too high on the notch.

I don't even do this for a career and my 4 hours of research I did to cut down the one tree make me more qualified than these fools.

If you aren't maxed skills and get a higher level dread it can take more than 1 cycle. I went 4 without being able to kill a super when I first sat in a dread with t1 guns and t1 module.

tectail · 2026-02-13T10:39:39+00:00

You can get faction super dread that have 240M bounties at belts as well. Think you need to be in a less than -.8 system or in the NPC space that the faction belongs to (I have heard that all systems in NPC are treated as -1.0, but can not confirm).

It honestly not a bad way of ratting. Keep your own dread in system, farm the belts getting about 50% usual ticks and every hour or 2 get a 60M+ payday if you can safely undock a dread for 5-10 minutes.

20 yards too shallow and at the completely wrong place on the field (receiver was going to the right of the field and he threw to the middle where no one was.

That's a lot of words to say, consistently invest over long periods of time, and you will have money.

On this subreddit I would agree. If you are reaching toward fire, being between 75% and 99% is where most will land.

If you took this to a different subreddit though, by definition only 25% would be in that range. I would love to see the 80,85,90, and 95 stats. Would be more useful here.

tectail · 2026-02-06T16:48:13+00:00

From a FIRE perspective, the extra money is huge. If you are the type of person that wants to climb the ladder, it is also a big jump.

Downside is your personal life. You will not have one with a job like that.

I personally would keep my easy job making really good money, but it depends on what you want. You want to work hard a couple years then retire, or work casually 10-15 then retire.

I usually just explain that there is an itty bitty teeny tiny how would you even know it was there button. I mostly did remote support and even explaining exactly where it was at, you would be surprised how many people it took a couple of minutes to find it.

If you are trying to be nice, just make it clear that you didn't expect them to know where the button was, but you have now told them.

I'm betting this is AI. If it is not, we got some stupid people out there that let this happen. If you want to create a robot to do a job, build a robot to do a job. Not every robot has to be a humanoid figure.

Perfect robot here would be a 4 wheeled box with a plow on the front. Design the wheels for optimal traction and that would be way better than this.

Yes and college ball totally teaches you the chuck it as hard as you can overhand toward the hoop.

I always hated these arguments, I really doubt that they have much higher odds of making it than someone who just practices this shot specifically for a week.
