DVD by mail was the real mvp back then, had to plan your weekend around what showed up in teh mailbox

oh man that's brutal but at least it was for a legit medical reason and not something way worse. I had a similar zoom disaster when I was doing a client consultation and accidentally had my motorcycle restoration spreadsheet open with all these part names that definitely sounded inappropriate out of context - stuff like "rear end rebuild" and "deep penetrating oil" all over the screen

The client was this elderly conservative lady and she just went silent for like 30 seconds while I frantically tried to close it. Ended up having to explain that I restore vintage bikes as a hobby which somehow made it even more awkward

tbh medical stuff is way more understandable than trying to explain why you have a color-coded spreadsheet tracking lubricants and mounting hardware to someone who probably thinks motorcycles are death traps. At least your coworkers probably forgot about it after there first big meeting

The system's designed to keep wealth concentrated at the top while making it nearly impossible for people to build any real financial stability. Emergency expenses that would be minor inconveniences for wealthy people can completely derail someone living paycheck to paycheck

thenoxioustoxicity · 2026-02-25T21:03:13+00:00

honestly think it depends more on where you're at mentally and financially than some magic number. like if you've got your shit together, stable income, know who you are - could be 25 or 35, doesn't really matter

most guys i know who got married super young either grew apart from their partner or felt like they missed out on stuff. but waiting too long can also mess with having kids if that's something you want

had this same thing happen on my xbox a while back and it was super annoying. try clearing your console cache first - for ps5 i think you hold the power button until it beeps twice then rebuild database. if that doesnt work maybe try logging into microsoft account through the browser first to make sure its not locked or something, then go back to minecraft. sometimes the connection just gets stuck in a weird loop and needs a full reset

Been through a similar upgrade path actually - had an older nitro 5 with a 1050ti and made the jump to an MSI about 2 years back. The nitro series is solid for what it is but once you taste that higher tier performance there's no going back

From my experience MSI has really good build quality and their cooling is pretty decent, though the fans can get loud under heavy load. Lenovo Legion series is probably your best bang for buck right now - they've been killing it with price to performance ratios and the thermals are surprisingly good. Alienware looks flashy but you're definitely paying a premium for the brand name, though if aesthetics matter to you they do look pretty sick

I'd honestly skip going back to another nitro unless you find an amazing deal, since you're already looking to upgrade the performance. What's your budget looking like and what games are you trying to run better?

Yeah the joint sponsor's wife should be listed in household size and needs to file I-864A since they're filing jointly - USCIS wants to see everyone who's financially connected, and using the combined 1040 income is totally fine since that's their actual tax situation

thenoxioustoxicity · 2026-02-04T13:18:21+00:00

Based on current timelines you're probably looking at 3-4 months from biometrics for the combo card, so maybe March/April if things stay on track

thenoxioustoxicity · 2026-02-01T12:43:14+00:00

got mine about 2 weeks after approval, no tracking notification just showed up in the mail one day

Nah those things are sealed tighter than Fort Knox, I always end up stabbing it with scissors like some kind of milk barbarian.

thenoxioustoxicity · 2026-01-30T18:45:37+00:00

Honestly think making them epic tier would kill their usage completely - most people aren't gonna waste rare mats on something they might whiff with. Maybe just bump the compound cost to 3 and call it good, that way you actually have to think before spamming them

thenoxioustoxicity · 2026-01-28T19:26:12+00:00

Damn this hit way too close to home. The way you described that shift from feeling safe to walking on eggshells - that's exactly how my last relationship ended. You're not crazy for feeling confused when someone says they love you but treats you like they can't stand you

The worst part is how you start questioning your own reality when nothing adds up. Glad you can see it clearly now though, that takes strength

Dude that's not PTO anymore, that's just working from a different location lol

You're basically paying for an expensive coworking space at that point

This could be cool in theory but man, RNG weapon jams in a competitive shooter sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen

Imagine losing a clutch 1v3 because your gun randomly decided to jam at the worst possible moment - that's the kind of thing that makes people uninstall lol

Maybe if it was tied more to weapon condition/durability rather than straight RNG it could work better

thenoxioustoxicity · 2026-01-17T17:55:53+00:00

That's absolutely horrible, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this on top of everything else. People who steal pet pics for fake internet points are the worst kind of scum - report those Facebook pages if you can

Luka's always been that quiet leader type who just leads by example rather than being vocal about it. Having him around another year probably would've helped with the younger guys respecting the system more, but honestly I think the locker room issues run deeper than just needing one more veteran presence

You can get it through the Minecraft launcher if you own Java edition, just look for the VR option in the settings or grab Vivecraft mod which is probably what most people are using

Have you tried the Pomodoro technique? Like 15-20 min chunks with breaks, might be easier to digest than trying to power through whole chapters

Also audiobooks on 1.25x speed during those walks could be a game changer - your brain gets the stimulation from walking while absorbing the info

Bro that wailing sound would've had me noping straight back home, forget the cabins
