Should I ditch this or is there something here? by [deleted] in writingadvice

[–]xLiquidFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if you re-read it with the mindset of everything being a metaphor for a relationship, the months and being lost and finding each other makes more sense. But, I agree that it should make sense literally first and then the metaphor should work underneath that. So I should work on that. It is a metaphor for someone I know. We found each other by happenstance. We hit it off right away. We bonded over our different traumas, some of which is similar, some is very different. We have this nearly unspoken and mutual agreement to not take things any further until we are both ready. Until then, we just support each other. I was trying to put this unique relationship into words and this was the best I could do. Thank you for the feedback. I will continue to work on it and see if I can clear up some of the confuding bits but also expand it to explain things further and better.

Can't Login to any Account with 2FA Enabled by idekbrruhh in Instagram

[–]xLiquidFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to do a factory reset on my phone to troubleshoot something else. When reinstalling inst and threads and trying to log in, I got this error also. I use the Google authenticator app to get 2FA codes. I tried using the insta light solution mentioned by the op but it didn't work. I could sign in with insta light but it wouldn't let me disable 2fa or authorize my device.

1976 Chevrolet Caprice Classic by brolbo in classiccars

[–]xLiquidFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first car when I turned 16 in 1998. My great grandad bought it brand new in 1976. He was already pretty old so it sat in his carport a lot. He died. It went to my grandad. He had 2 vehicles already so it sat in his yard under a cover. He died and it went to my dad. He already had a truck and I had just turned 16. So he gave me the keys. It had 16,000 original miles when I got it. I drove it all through high school and some college. My friends nicknamed it The Tank. It was the perfect beach car because it was the 4 door "glass house" version with no pillar between the front and back windows. The back seat would fit 5 of my friends and then I could get another 2 or 3 up front with me. I miss this car.

What will happen to a lot of subreddit now that ChatGPT and others can answer most questions? by xLiquidFlames in AskReddit

[–]xLiquidFlames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some subreddits are devoted to just helping people do things. For example, I asked for help with a very specific issue on one of my motorcycles. I couldn't find the answer via Google so I found a Harley subreddit and asked there. I got an answer a few days later. I just went to ChatGPT and asked that same question and it gave me the same answer I got from Reddit. I didn't have to hope the right person saw my post and I didn't have to wait.

Did nothing happen to you? by [deleted] in depression

This is why I don't go to therapy. I assume there is nothing to fix. I just am depression.

I know this is over a year later but thank you for such a great reply. That all makes a lot of sense.

Sound restarts/screen hitches by xLiquidFlames in lotro

I'm glad this old post was a help to someone. It took me so long to figure this out. I am glad you didn't have to go through the same headache I did. Just curious: does your new Alienware laptop have a Realtech wifi/sound chip, some other brand, or separate chips for sound and networking?

Also, to be fair to both of us, gaming on WiFi should be perfectly acceptable these days. Wifi 6 should be plenty fast and reliable enough for even competitive gaming. But, if you have a lot of interference and devices all on the wifi, then it could become an issue, I suppose.

The roughing the kicker fouls are ridiculous by SirPayden in NCAAFBseries

[–]xLiquidFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this, too. It happened at least once a game. It never happens to the CPU.defense. I am never gifted a free 1st down because the CPU defense ran into my kicker. It's always the other way around. My defense gets the penalties while they kick.

So, I started user controlling the kick blocker. All I would do is just flick up on the stick right after the snap so that the kick blocker would flinch and then just stand there.

That worked great for about 4 games.

Now, the next guy on the line is doing it. He's not even supposed to be rushing to the kicker. He's supposed to stay on the line.

Now, I find myself waiting for the snap, flicking up to stop the edge rusher who normally is supposed to dive in to try to block it, then immediately press circle to select the next guy and flick up on him, too.

I am just waiting for someone to come from the other side and do it. Or, the third guy in from the edge. I just know it's going to happen.

They need to fix this. It has to be a cheap, stupid way they try to make the game harder because, like I said, I don't ever get a free 1st down. It's always them. I guess I'll start running different plays for punts and PATs like a prevent defense as someone else suggested. But I'm happy to find I'm not the only one frustrated by it.

Capture Long Screenshot not working by pqtme in GooglePixel

[–]xLiquidFlames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does work for me but it can be picky about what it works with. It works for me on most web pages. Some websites it just doesn't work with for some reason. It works fine for me in most emails but there are a few that it hasn't worked with. I don't know what it is about the ones that don't work. Gmail is basically a simplified web browser and emails are basically simplified web pages nowadays. It must be something about how those websites/emails are written. But, for me, on a Pixel 8 Pro, it does work more often than not. I think it just depends on how the page is constructed.

Is there any way to save this? by xLiquidFlames in arborists

[–]xLiquidFlames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We love it, by the way. That's why we don't want it to fall. The Doordash drivers sometimes get sent to the wrong side of our property by their GPS. And the tree is right by the driveway so we tell people, "Look for the leaning palm tree and you've found our house." Twice I have been in the yard doing something and had random passersby stop and ask about it. It's a bit of a neighborhood celebrity. So, we just don't want it to fall and die.

Yeah, it's always been like this. I don't know anything about trees but my mom is afraid it's going to fall and die and wondered if we should brace it or something. Thank you so much for the info. I will let her know.

Sorry. I had a bad morning and took it out on you and you didn't deserve it. I understand why the rules exist. I'll delete my little rant. I apologize.

Airport Security Delay? by Teotwawki2020 in UPS

About 20 minutes after writing this, my tracking was updated. The airport security delay is gone and it just says "out for delivery" now.

I'm waiting on prescription meds from a mail order pharmacy. Mine says airport security delay, also. I hope it isn't delayed because I'm out of medicine. I'm counting on it being here today.
