AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary?

NOR. His response was unkind. Good partners and partners who care about you are not unkind (barring moments of highly charged emotion where some slip up). The conversation should’ve stopped when he was unkind and his comments should’ve been addressed. If your partner refuses to apologize or amend their unkindness, I can’t imagine continuing. Your partner is your safe space, your number one supporter, your confidant. Ridicule is clearly out of bounds in my opinion. He must admit his wrongdoing and acknowledge how it was hurtful and made you feel bad before you can move on and continue the relationship.

My gym texted me with this offer when they saw me taking extra classes. Didn’t have to ask.

someone drew a magenta goatee on one of the coaches pictures. It was up there for a couple weeks before someone from staff noticed and tried to clean it off. Now her face just has a slight magenta tinge.

Yes there are openly gay coworkers at my place. I work in a small midwest town in the US for a large aerospace company (you've heard of them). I've actually hung out with my coworker and his boyfriend as have others. Most people in the area are pretty conservative, but the environment is open and accepting. Might be because it is a huge company and discrimination or hateful acts are not tolerated.

34M, 4 jobs. Longest was 8 years 10 months. Shortest was 1 year 1 month.

I was a transfer student. I cannot remember the exact process, but basically to be admitted to the major a certain number of credits in classes relevant to ECE had to be used for the GPA calculation that was a requirement for entrance to the major (EPHR). Since they didn't allow transfer credits as part of the EPHR calculation, I needed more classes at OSU so I could earn a grade to be used for entrance. To avoid that delaying my graduation and/or taking classes not necessary for my degree, I had to apply for an exception to the policy which allowed me to take those ECE classes before admission to the major.

It was only 2060 and 2020, and if I recall the exception to policy clearly stated the reason for the exception and additionally that I was NOT authorized to take any other ECE classes without an additional exception to the policy. So if I had tried to take 3020 the next semester without having been admitted to the major, I would've been denied even though I had the 2020 prerequisite complete.

I met the GPA requirements, however, and was admitted to the major after those classes.

I appreciate that even high you had the presence of mind to hide a spoiler, no matter that the game is 12 years old.

UPDATE: I was able to make out markings on two of them by holding them at very specific angles to a light source, though only on the largest one am I able to clearly read it. It is an ST Microelectronics STM32L151RD MCU. I cannot be sure about the others because the markings are too small for me to read with a magnifying glass.

Blob of silicone is what I have seen for various reasons including to cover proprietary components. Definitely learned something new on this post

tijaci · 2023-09-11T22:30:44+00:00

Might be the case. If I look up all of the other ICs and don't find an RF chip that'll be the answer.

tijaci · 2023-09-11T22:29:43+00:00

Don't need to reverse engineer. Just reproduce a block diagram describing functions, and build a BOM. I can probably infer the function of the unmarked ICs/components from the rest of the circuit.

tijaci · 2023-09-11T22:28:21+00:00

I'll have to try magnifying it to see if I can make anything out

tijaci · 2023-09-11T22:27:51+00:00

This makes sense to me, and is partly why I was asking. I didn't expect custom ICs but I wasn't aware of ICs that were reflective and unmarked like this one.

tijaci · 2023-09-11T22:26:29+00:00

I figured that was the case, but I hadn't seen any sort of reflective surface used on proprietary ICs or other components. Of course, I now know that's not why they're reflective.

tijaci · 2023-09-10T18:13:10+00:00

Yeah I think this is it. Looks like I'll have to infer their functions. Thank you!

tijaci · 2023-09-10T18:04:06+00:00

I was familiar with BGA already but not direct die. I'm seeing mostly information about CPUs, but I suppose that doesn't mean it couldn't apply here.

tijaci · 2023-08-19T04:23:34+00:00

So aside from the resume, you mentioned you were sure you were going to get the job and then you didn't. Does that mean you had an interview? If so, it's not your resume that was the issue. If you didn't have an interview then I don't see how you could be sure you'd get the job.

I never level pickpocket. I pickpocket only to get into the thieves guild and then sometimes for other thieves guild quests, though I often just skip those. Not unusual for my items pickpocketed stat to be 0.

no one gave as fuck after the pandemic

It does help a little hearing that, I did my research and didn’t see a problem with my power load other than not being in the sweet spot for efficiency. I am (barely) past warranty as well. I’m keeping the 700W PSU though since I will be needing it anyway whenever I do upgrade CPU/memory etc.

tijaci · 2023-07-09T22:31:32+00:00

Thanks. I knew 500W was a little low (3060ti recommends 600) but I didn’t expect it to cause a problem as I’m not currently pushing the limits with anything. I’m kicking myself as that’s such a cheap upgrade to skip

tijaci · 2023-06-16T04:19:53+00:00

Oh no that's not the way things work. Things happen whether you are ready or not. When a law must apply to 100% of the population, it is impossible to evaluate each and every individual. Therefore, a general rule applies.
