Hello all! A little bit about me, I’m a 21 year old from Cincinnati Ohio, been living here most of my life , just trying to put myself out there and hopefully find a potential long term relationship!
In my free time I love to go on long hikes or bike rides , i also love to play video games and watch movies! when I’m not at working I also enjoy playing bowling, chess & monopoly!
If you see something that interests you or have any extra questions don’t be afraid to reach out as I am pretty much always on here!
Also Big bonus points if you’re black as I’ve always wanted an interracial relationship, but this is absolutely not a requirement!

I am really sick and tired of dealing with my Trek Domane SL 5 Gen 4. Trek is like the Apple of the bike world—most of their parts are proprietary. I have had more issues with this Trek breaking and becoming unable to fix the parts myself because everything is proprietary to Trek.
Currently, I have a Lynskey GR300, which I love and which is becoming my main bike. However, I have this Trek just laying here, and I'm thinking of moving the entire 105 groupset to a better frame. I'm considering a steel frame. What is the general consensus on the Ritchey and the Rodeo? I am leaning towards the Rodeo.

Just looking for feedback/advice here as a new rider.
I was involved in a no contact accident yesterday. While going through an intersection (i had a green light) a driver made a right on red into the left lane where i was riding. I swerved to avoid hitting them and in the process, laid my bike down. The driver initially left the scene, but returned ~15 minutes later. Damage to the bike is pretty minimal, i went to the ER on my own and had CTs and xrays done, all negative, but im still kinda beat up.
My question is is it even worth reporting to my insurance? Will they just automatically find me at fault and say pay your deductible? Im in Ohio if that helps, and there were several witnesses that corroborated there was nothing else i could do.
I figure im probably SOL, but if anyone else has had any experiences like this, id appreciate hearing about them.

Are there any meshtastic users in southern Ohio specifically Chillicothe Waverly area?

I may have missed some more recent (late 2023-24) declarations, so let me know if I should add anything I've missed.
Stugotz personal record book. Sorry if the links are expired on some things. They're old.
[Time Stamps] Started to use them in late 2019. They may not be exact based on what podcast app or service you use. But they'll be close.
I DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY OF THIS:

FOOTBALL

(1) UCF is the 2017-2018 national champion.
(2) If Kirk Cousins goes to the Jaguars and not the Jets, no championship he wins will count in the personal record book.
Note (2)(a): Still pending sort of since Kirk is with the Vikings now – possible in future he could go to Jags.
(3) Eli manning has 1 ring. He doesnt get one for throwing a ball into David Tyree's face / Tyree getting a football stuck in his helmet.
(4) Carson Wentz has a Super Bowl 52 ring.
Note (4)(a): Foles does not have a Super Bowl 52 ring.
(5) The Raiders defeated the Patriots in their divisional playoff matchup in 2002 (Tuck Rule game), and then would defeat the Rams in Super Bowl 36.
Note (5)(a): In this scenario also, Bill Belichick was also "fired and looking for a job" after the Tuck Rule game and has 0 rings.
(6) If the 2017 Patriots won Super Bowl 52, James Harrison would not have a ring (Patriots lost to Eagles).
(7) Peyton Manning has one ring (Broncos ring does not count).
(8) Peyton Manning must give such ring he lost (above) to Von Miller, who thus has 2 rings.
(9) Aaron Rodgers can have all the rings he wants for keeping all of central Wisconsin employed.
(10) Brian Billick has 0 rings (2000 Ravens Super Bowl) because that defense carried him.
(11) Tony Boselli is a Hall of Famer.
(12) Tarik Cohen is an honorary Jew.
(13) JuJu Smith-Schuster is also an honorary Jew. L'Chaim.
(14) Drew brees has three rings for winning the super bowl for the city of New Orleans.
Note (14)(a): There was discussion on this where the number started at three, went up to five, came down to two, but it ended up at three.
(15) Mike McCarthy has no Super Bowl rings.
Note(15)(a): Dan also has this in his record book, and it is the first entry into the Le Batard Personal Record Book.
Note 15(b): In fact, McCarthy has -3 (Negative three) rings.
(16) Any Super Bowl rings Antonio Brown gets with the Patriots will not count in the Stugotz personal record book (9/9 Weekend Observations National Hour 2).
(17) Ohio State's 76 to 5 victory over Miami (Ohio) on 9/21/19 does not count.
(18) Due to Bill Belichick's 219 wins with Tom Brady, Bill's week 7 2023 victory over the Bills was actually his 81st victory and not his 300th victory.
(19) The 2002-03 Miami Hurricanes actually won the Fiesta Bowl/BCS National Championship game against Ohio State.
(20) If JJ Watt joins the Texans for the 2024 season or later on, none of the Super Bowl rings will count in Stugotz's personal record book

BASKETBALL

Kevin Durant
(1) If Westbrook wins a championship and beats Kevin Durant along the way in the playoffs, Westbrook will have won 2 championship rings.
(2) "STRAP IT ON BOYS, GONNA TAKE YA FOR A RIDE:"
Kevin Durant has 0 rings (Zero rings)
Kevin Durant has -1 rings (Negative 1 rings).
Kevin Durant has -4 rings (Negative 4) (As of 4/11/18)
Note (2)(a): This number is subject to change based on Stugotz altering rings to the "-4" current total. Specifically as seen recently when Stugotz adjusted the number from (i) 0 rings to (ii) -1 rings to (iii) -4 rings.
Note (2)(b): Here is a tweet transcript of the conversation where this was discovered.
Archive link
(3) If Kevin Durant wins an NBA title for the NY Knicks, he will gain 11 rings.
Note (3)(a): As seen above in "(2)," Kevin Durant has -4 rings.
Note (3)(b): [Math] If Durant were to remain at -4 rings, and subsequently win an NBA title for the Knicks, he will have 7 rings total. This was specifically stated (-4 + 11 = 7), and a question about a non-specifically stated Personal Record Book entry is posed below in "Note (3)(c)(i)."
Note (3)(c): If the Golden State Warriors had won a championship playing 3 on 5 with Kevin Durant, Kevin Durant would have 1 ring.
Note (3)(c)(i): [Confusion] I am unsure if "Note(3)(c)" means he would gain +1 ring, and therefore be "up" to -3 rings total. Possibly, Stugotz means if the Golden State Warriors had won a championship 3 on 5 with Durant, Kevin Durant would be at +1 rings total (Positive 1 rings).
(4) Kevin Durant's dagger in Game 3 did not count, because according to Stugotz, none of Durant's stats count. KD's official statline last night was 0/0/0 and the Cavs blew the Warriors out by 40.
(5) Anything Kevin Durant has done with the Warriors so far is not in Stugotz' personal record scroll.
Note (5)(a): Stugotz did not take his feathered pen and write anything in his scroll (King Roy approves).
(6) Westbrook has ALL of KD's rings.
(7) For every time KD says he doesn't give a BLEEP, Stugotz adds 2 "I do give a BLEEPS" in the personal record book.
(8) Per Dan, speaking on Stugotz' behalf, Kevin Durant has no Olympic Gold Medals (9/18/19 National Hour 1 @ 00:07:50).
Michael Jordan
(1) Jordan has 9 rings because:
(a) The Rockets have to give their 2 rings from 1994 and 1995 to Jordan (+2); and
(b) The Bulls would have won the 1999 Finals over the Spurs if Jordan didn't retire (+1; 9 total).
Note (1)(a-b)(i): Put LeBron's rings in a box and put Jordan's rings in a box. Jordan is +6 by the way over LeBron box-minus, despite box-minus sounding like a dumb stat.
(2) Michael Jordan was suspended for 2 years for gambling (Said 4/25/18 Hour 2, 14:30 in podcast).
Note 2(a): HOWEVER, MJ still has 9 rings as see above in (1)(a) and (1)(b).
(3) Any game Michael Jordan played wearing the uniform #45 does not count.
LeBron James
(1) If LeBron James goes to the Golden State Warriors, every Championship he wins will result in a deduction of 2 previously won championships.
(2) The Miami Heat LeBron teams were the GREATEST teams in the history of sports (5/7/18 Local Hour).
(3) The Miami Heat LeBron teams were also the MOST INTERESTING teams in the history of sports.
(4) If, after the 2018 NBA Playoffs:
(a) LeBron does not make it to the finals and the Celtics do; and
(b) The Houston Rockets do not make it to the finals and the Warriors do; and
(c) LeBron goes to the Houston Rockets for the next season, THEN
LeBron is allowed to win rings that count in Stu's personal record book.
Note (4)(a-c)(i): HOWEVER, Harden & Chris Paul - if they remain on the Rockets with LeBron on the team - are not allowed to have any of the rings won with LeBron count in Stu's personal record book.
Note 4(a-c)(ii): To quote the big man Stu (with Dan agreeing of course), "Do it on your own” (Dan agrees here).
(5) If LeBron wins an NBA Championship with the 2018 Lakers roster (as of 7/23/18), then that wins counts for 6 rings.
Note (5)(a): Thus LeBron would have 9 rings.
Kyrie Irving
(1) Kyrie Irving hit one of the biggest shots in NBA Finals History, but was only in that position because of LeBron James. Kyrie Irving, did hit one of the biggest shots in NBA Finals history that won everyone on that team a Ring, except for you (Kyrie). (3/9/20 Hour #3; Google Podcast @ 07:00).
Note (1)(a): Stugotz: "A little revision to the uhhh Stugotz Personal Record Book that I'll come around to writing...or Mike will." I'M WRITING IT YOU IDIOT MORON JACKAL
Misc. Basketball
(1) The Houston Rockets have 0 (Zero) NBA Championship victories.
Note (1)(a): See "Michael Jordan (1)(a)" for reasoning.
Note (1)(a)(i): [Restated Reasoning] Michael Jordan is actually in possession of those 1994 and 1995 Rockets rings because Michael Jordan would have won those championships if he stayed in Chicago.
Note(1)(b): [CONFLICTING HOT TAKE] Stugotz has also said Jordan didn't get the Rockets' rings because he was actually suspended for gambling.
Note (1)(b)(i) NEEDS CLARIFICATION PLEASE. Stugotz keeps going back and forth. In "Michael Jordan Note 1(a)," the opposite of "Miscellaneous Basketball Note (1)(b) is stated because he has gone back and forth on this issue.
(2) Steve Kerr has no rings as a coach. In fact, he has never even coached a game.
(3) Mychal Thompson (Klay's dad) has no rings. (Said on Zach Harper podcast).
(4) Clyde Drexler no rings (Said on Zach Harper podcast).
(5) Giannis Antetekoumpo is pronounced Yani Adababoombo.
(6) As long as James Harden has his beard, he cannot win any championships.
Note (6)(a): If the Rockets win a ring, then the ring goes to the beard.
(7) Lamarcus Aldridge cost the Spurs game 2 of the 2017 Western Conference Semifinals, even though they won.
(8) If the Sixers happen to win a championship, Sam Hinkie gets a ring.
(9) Chris Paul has NOT made a Western Conference Final since he had to join the Rockets to do so.
(10) Michael Jordan winning the NBA Finals in 1999 also means that Tim Duncan only has 4 rings instead of 5 rings.
(11) The Warriors only have 1 ring
Note (11)(a): Durant still has -4.
(12) Boogie Cousins cannot win a NBA Championship and have it count if he does so with the Warriors.
(13) Billy Donovan was the NBA Coach of the Year in 2017 (12/13/17 @ 28:10 Hour 1).
Note (13)(a): The Thunder blowing the 3-1 lead to the Warriors that year had nothing to do with Donovan. It was Durant's fault.
(14) The OKC Thunder actually did win the WCF against the Warriors in 2017 when up 3-1.
Note (14)(a): This does not apply to Durant though.
Note (14)(b): The Thunder also beat whoever they would have played in the Finals. Durant still no ring.
(15) Embiid has his 2023 MVP taken away and given to Jimmy Butler.
(16) Caitlin Clark's NCAA all-time scoring record still belongs to Pistol Pete because unlike Pistol Pete, Caitlin didn't do it in 3 years and she did it with a 3 point line.

BASEBALL

Babe Ruth
(1) Babe Ruth is black.
(2) Babe Ruth never hit a baseball. Not once.
(3) Babe Ruth is the number two black baseball player of all time behind Barry Larkin.
(4) Babe Ruth is NOT a top 20 Baseball player of all time. He's a pitcher.
Note (4)(a): However This is somewhat confusing/interesting because:
(i) Stugotz has said "Babe Ruth is the number two black baseball player of all time behind Barry Larkin; and"
(ii) This MUST mean Stugotz can only have 1 black player in his top 20 Baseball players of all time Barry Larkin; because
(iii) The only way this can work logically is if in the list of greatest players #1 through #20, only Barry Larkin is on the latter top #1 through #20 list. I would like some clarification on if he wishes to change this take/record.
(5) Babe Ruth is also not a top 20 pitcher of all time.
Misc. Baseball
(1) Stugotz has declared that in his personal record book, Baseball no longer allows pitchers to hit (Stated on 05/03/2018 @ 12:38:52 P.M).
Note (1)(a): Excludes Bartolo Colon, and Shohei Ohtani.
Note (1)(b): You are either a pitcher or a hitter. Not both.
(2) If the Dodgers won the 2017 World Series Clayton Kershaw would not have had a ring.
(3) Wade Boggs DOES have a ring because he rode around on a horse with a beer afterward.
(4) Clayton Kershaw did not win an MVP award because the award for pitchers was already given, the CY Young award.
(5) Miami beat LSU in the 1996 College Baseball World Series.
(6) The 1986 NY Mets did not win the World Series against the Boston Red Sox.
Note (6)(a): This "pains" Stugotz.
(7) The Red Sox retroactively winning the 1986 World Series may result in taking a ring away from the Mets.
Note (7)(a): Stugotz has to think about it though, he's not sure yet.
(8) Bryce Harper did not win the 2018 home run derby because he cheated.
(9) Kershaw's Earned Ring Average (ERA) is 0.00.
(10) Mike Minor (Rangers Pitcher) does not have 200 strikeouts in 2019. He's at 199 (National Hour 2, 10 mins 40 seconds in).
Note (10)(a): Chris agrees too. And who really cares (15% on poll do care).
(11) The 2020-2021 Mets, during the Coronavirus outbreak, are 0-3 and Jacob deGrom is somehow 0-1 with a 0.00 ERA and 1 complete game. The deGrominator. (Google Podcast 3/30 Hour #3 @ 19:20)

HOCKEY

(1) Ray Bourque doesn't have a ring.
(2) Alex Ovechkin may or may not have won the Stanley Cup against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Note (2)(a): "I mean he beat an expansion team . . . bunch of players nobody wanted" (We get the sense that Dan agrees).

TENNIS

(1) If anyone wins a major in Female Tennis without Serena Williams playing, it does not count and they have 0 rings.
(2) If Maria Sharapova wins a grand slam in which Serena isnt competing it doesnt count.

GOLF

(1) If Jason Day wins the 2018 Masters, it counts as an American winning (as far as bets are concerned).
(2) Vijay Singh did not play in the 2018 Masters.
(3) Steph Curry did not win the 2023 American Century Celebrity Golf Championship Tournament . Mardy Fish was the real winner.

SOCCER

(1) Lionel Messi is stripped of all his achievements for using HGH. He never played soccer. He is still 5'1". "Fraud."
(2) Soccer is dead.

NCAA DIVISION 1 WOMEN'S LACROSSE

(1) Rachel has more rings than Kevin Durant

MISCELLANEOUS

(1) Aqua?
(2) Rings plus-minus is the only way to measure greatness.
(3) The HBO Andre the Giant film was good, not great, and Stugotz didn’t learn anything.
(4) Benoit Lecomte (guy they interviewed) can not and will not swim from San Francisco to Tokyo in the personal record book because he is most likely taking a dip for a few minutes then coming back on the boat and enjoying some filet mignon by the pool.
Note (4)(a): "Do it without a yacht. And how about ya do it without the little magnetic field around you that keeps sharks away. How bout that. Allows dolphins through though? Anyway.."
(5) Justify (the Horse) only has a double crown.
Note (5)(a): This is the first ever double crown.
(6) Tango and Cash is in the action movie Hall of Fame. and Cliffhanger has the greatest 5 minute intro of any movie of all time.
(7) Maximum Security (a Horse) won the 2019 Kentucky Derby.
(8) Fruit Stripes Gum is NOT a 1st Ballot Hall of Famer in Stu's "Gum Hall of Fame." (08/12/2019 Hour 2 @ 15:25).
Note (8)(a): "It loses it's flavor so quickly"
Note (8)(b): Also, "[...] Bazooka...1st Ballot Hall of Famer." Also, "Big League Chew..1st Ballot."
(9) Chris Cote owns all intellectual property rights to the "Friends" (TV Show) Movie with a misleading preview that eventually has a climax leading to an intense murder mystery. (10/29/19 Hour #2 @ 03:15).
Note (9)(a): "If they make this without crediting Cote, they're stealing it."
(10) That guy killed the pigeon (12/10 Hour 3 @ 08:20).
(11) Billy owns the record for world's longest Plank (2/25, Hour #3; Google Podcast @ 30:55).
Note (11)(a): Possibly in just the Non-Marine edition.
(12) Zach Buchanan won a Pulitzer Prize for his story on the Madison Bumgarner / Mason Saunders rodeo fiasco (2/28/20 Hour #2; Google Podcasts @ 21:35).
(13) Findlay the Golden retriever holds the Stu Gotz Personal Record Book record for most tennis balls held in a mouth at one time by a dog at 6 (2/11/2020)

Hi all!
I have a 3T Strada that is set up with Sram Force D1 AXS e-shifting... The chainrings that came with the bike are 46-33T, and I am looking to get larger chainrings (I am more accustomed to what I had on my last bike - 52/36).
Is there a "Force" chainring set that is closer to what I had previously? Having a 46 as the "big ring" is nice for hills, but would prefer something a little bigger. Any suggestions - even outside Sram - would be welcome... I've run with Shimano for forever, and this is my first rodeo with Sram. Much appreciated!

An absolute POS tried to steal my motorcycle tonight and almost got away with it. He had everything, from a grinder, master key(?)*, some other keys attached to it… Everything. This wasn’t his first rodeo.
This happened on Victory Blvd which is a fairly busy road at 10pm. I had a torque wrench on me as a weapon I took to protect the bike and myself. The garbage of a man run off and dropped the bike to the wall. I could’ve chased him but have never had this happen to me before and honestly didn’t want to be responsible for causing him an injury or worse.
I see lots of motorcycles parked within a mile of the area where I live at - if you have to keep it on the streets, put a cover, a chain or two… Might be a hustle and inconvenient but there will always be cockroaches out there.
Also, this guy seemed older, ~40 or so, 5’10”, ~220 pounds, hispanic or white(it was dark, couldn’t clearly see the face). If you see someone with this description lurking around your motorcycle just beware.
EDIT: I am still under stress and adrenaline rush so apologies for maybe writing some unnecessary info. I wanted to ask up there how did the thief manage to turn on my motorcycle with his key that looks like it’s from another Harley (I have an older Sportster)?

Hi Y'all,
I'm 2 weeks into my last summer of college. As a generally depressed person I am trying to do my best to exercise and go out in the sun, meditate, but I don't feel any better.
I follow every advice that my therapist gives me and it still sucks big time. I'm on the thicker side, bipolar and a POC in bumfuck Ohio, as such I've never had luck with dating. I see so many happy people outside while I'm doing my daily bike rides thru some local trails and it truly makes my heart cry. I had tears flowing at Walmart and had to like sit down by the car section to calm down. I work about 60 hours weeks between internship and research, fulfilling work but it's still work.
It's my last summer realistically and I realized that I've never had an enjoyable summer. This summer is on the better side but it hurts me that I'll never get to have a lazy afternoon in the sun with someone I love or go on trips to explore places. I grew up poor, still am. I have had to get everything I needed and wanted myself with no help from anyone, I pay for my own insurance, cellphone plan, cellphone, car, rent, everything.
It's so hard, and I literally cannot take a break. But, I'm grateful for the opportunities I'm presented with, but I really want to have a "normal" college summer. It's tragic really. What sucks more is none of my friends get this. Looking to hear from people with Similar Experiences to feel less isolated as my therapist suggested.

i graduated high school in 2019 and all i've done since graduation is;

• worked dead end retail job from late 2019-early 2021
• went to community college from late 2021-early 2023. dropped out.
• worked dead end food job from mid 2023-late 2023.
• moved from ohio to florida late 2023 (because my parents moved here and i'm not independent so i had to go with them)

since i've moved i've done nothing. i've just been stuck in a depression with no job for the past ~7 or 8 months and now i have $100 in my savings. i blew through 10k in savings like it was nothing on useless junk. games on steam, ordering food, useless stuff off amazon.
it could be worse. i live with a (relatively) loving family, a nice house, an area with zero crime. i'm not forced to pay rent, i get to eat family meals and groceries, i don't have to spend any money whatsoever. the downside of this area is that it's a complete retirement home city. there are hardly any opportunistic things for me to take advantage around here. the closest semi-metropolitan city is a 90 minute drive north.
i don't drive. i know i will get comments of people telling me that i need to but please don't comment that. there are very real and valid reasons for why i don't drive. i've been stuck in decision paralysis in the past few months on how to move forward. i know i need to SOMETHING at the very least. even if it's not THE thing that i want to do (which is still something i'm trying to figure out til this day).
i want to travel. i want to move. i want to learn other languages. i want to see other places in the world. i want to actually LIVE for once and stop being so scared/paralyzed to make a decision. part of me deep downs just wants to uproot my whole life and restart in a completely different state/country. i know that's just not very viable for me at the moment though.
i've considered going back to school. i've considered working whatever soul-draining jobs i can find around here full time for the next 1-3 years and just saving saving saving until i can afford to move. i've spent hours online trying to find any sort of easy remote work i can do from home but have just not had any success. i've considered taking an online bootcamp for some sort of IT/compsci field. i've considered a trade school. i've considered going to school overseas and have done a pretty sizeable amount of research about that. i've considered volunteer work in a different state/country. i've considered a liberal arts degree. i've considered learning a country's native language and getting a teaching certificate/degree to try and teach english there. i don't have my exact dream job pinpointed. i don't think i will ever find true fulfillment/passion from any job. to be honest, i don't really care what i end up doing as long as it doesn't make me miserable and if i have an OK work life balance.
i am TERRIBLE at math. i've tried tutors, online programs, i've tried several things. it's always been an issue for me my whole life as far back as i can remember. there are probably 4th graders with higher math levels than me. this has limited me a lot in terms of traditional US universities.
my family knows that i'm stuck and lost but they're not the easiest to talk to about this or be transparent with. they're essentially all retired and unfamiliar with how to navigate today's world as a young person. if i told them all this i'd likely get a response along the lines of "grow up, stop being a pussy and get a job. i owned a house, car and was married at your age.". they're oppressive and are quick to shut down ambitious dreams/ideas. they aren't empathetic. however, they are willing to support me financially.
if i were asked to describe what i'd want my life to be in 10 years i would say: living in a nice and small apartment in a city with good public transportation where most things are in walking/biking distance. obviously with a job i don't hate either.
hobbies and interests: nerd shit (ie manga, videogames, anime, books, etc.), computers/technology in general, history, geography, learning about cultures, politics (to an extent), basketball and fitness.
i am mostly mentally ok. i have diagnosed ocd but i can manage it. i've been very depressed and anxious these past few months but it will go away once i actually start making progress. if anyone has ANY advice, i would appreciate it greatly. whether it be practical/logical advice or just simple reassurance. feel free to be as objective as possible, don't sugar coat things.

i graduated high school in 2019 and all i've done since graduation is;

• worked dead end retail job from late 2019-early 2021
• went to community college from late 2021-early 2023. dropped out.

i've considered going back to school. i've considered working whatever soul-draining jobs i can find around here full time for the next 1-3 years and just saving saving saving until i can afford to move. i've spent hours online trying to find any sort of easy remote work i can do from home but have just not had any success. i've considered taking an online bootcamp for some sort of IT/compsci field. i've considered a trade school. i've considered going to school overseas and have done a pretty sizeable amount of research about that. i've considered volunteer work in a different state/country. i've considered a liberal arts degree. i've considered learning a country's native language and getting a teaching certificate/degree to try and teach english there. i don't have my exact dream job pinpointed. i don't think i will ever find true fulfillment/passion from any job. to be honest, i don't really care what i end up doing as long as it doesn't make me miserable and if i have an OK work life balance.
i am TERRIBLE at math. i've tried tutors, online programs, i've tried several things. it's always been an issue for me my whole life as far back as i can remember. there are probably 4th graders with higher math levels than me. this has limited me a lot in terms of traditional US universities.
my family knows that i'm stuck and lost but they're not the easiest to talk to about this or be transparent with. they're essentially all retired and unfamiliar with how to navigate today's world as a young person. if i told them all this i'd likely get a response along the lines of "grow up, stop being a pussy and get a job. i owned a house, car and was married at your age.". they're oppressive and are quick to shut down ambitious dreams/ideas. they aren't empathetic. however, they are willing to support me financially.
if i were asked to describe what i'd want my life to be in 10 years i would say: living in a small, apartment in a city with good public transportation where most things are in walking/biking distance. obviously with a job i don't hate either.
hobbies and interests: nerd shit (ie manga, videogames, anime, books, etc.), computers/technology in general, history, geography, learning about cultures, politics (to an extent), basketball and fitness.
i am mostly mentally ok. i have diagnosed ocd but i can manage it. i've been very depressed and anxious these past few months but it will go away once i actually start making progress. if anyone has ANY advice, i would appreciate it greatly. whether it be practical/logical advice or just simple reassurance. feel free to be as objective as possible, don't sugar coat things.

Just released Monday, got a lot of my life back together but have no current avenues for socialization or interaction that feel safe. After 5 years in Ohio prison system I’m kind of afraid to be out in public especially with PRC over my head. I’m also an rso now and the vast majority of my hobbies (fishing at the local lake, hiking, rodeos, car shows, etc.) are basically off limits until further notice. Can’t seem to find any support groups locally either. Anybody have any advice or resources?

This is my first year doing cycling events, and last year was my first year riding frequently since I was a kid. I have a schwinn volare I’ve upgraded quite a bit that started life as a $25 garage sale bike. This weekend I did the CTS red ride, which was 37 miles and, according to RWGPS, 2,200 elevation gain. Not as long as what the other ride groups did (they all did 70) but not a sneeze either!
Woke up this morning with nasty wrist pain, radiating to the elbow. It’s hard to hold my phone to type. This isn’t my first wrist pain rodeo, as I’ve had issues for my entire adulthood, but I’m really worried because I’m signed up for the Flying Wheels century ride next month & the CTS the following month!
My local mechanic is confident swapping to sweeping bars or bars that encourage a more upright posture, with a different style of ergon grips, should fix the issue. I have an appointment for a bike fit with the PT working with CTS this year on Friday.
Experienced folks with wrist and elbow pain, what worked for you? I was so uncomfortable today I went down to my local shop ready to buy a new bike and they talked me down, lol!
Photo is my current bike on the trainer for reference. I prefer outdoor riding when it’s nice like this but I got the trainer because I have kids and I can’t always ditch for hours at a time!

Hey all, I built my PC around 6.5 years ago, and I think I'm ready to give it a good ol modernization. I didn't originally pick out the parts to this PC (a friend did), but I did build it and since that friend is unavailable I'm looking for a little advice to make sure all the parts I'm looking to upgrade still work together and are worth the upgrade! I'm looking to spend around $1,000, and I'm okay going a bit over if it's really worth it, but sticking around there would be best.
Current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/useslam_bike/saved/L993CJ
Parts I'm looking to upgrade (Current part -> Upgraded part):
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 -> Ryzen 5 5600 (there seem to be 3 models, I'm not sure the difference between them)
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 -> Basically same memory stick but 2x16GB instead
Storage: Add 2TB SATA (not sure on best model)
GPU: NVIDIA 1080TI -> Either 4070 or 4070 Super
The memory and storage I'm fairly comfortable with, it's mainly the CPU and GPU I wanted to make sure looked good. Everything else (case, PSU, MOBO, and monitors) I'm looking to keep the same if possible. Thank you! Now here are the required questions:

**What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.**

Gaming mostly (some higher load games like Elden Ring, BG3, etc), watching a few streams simultaneously, running Dnd sessions

**What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?**

Looking to upgrade current build for around $1000

**When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.**

Within the week (likely next weekend)

**What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ToweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc\)**

CPU, GPU, memory, and storage

**Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?**

Ohio, USA. I have access to a Microcenter

**If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.**

ASRock AB350 Pro4 ATX AM4 MOBO
Phanteks Eclipse P400S ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair RM750x 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Monitors

**Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?**

I don't think I'll be overclocking, I haven't done it before and I'd like to avoid the potential extra trouble

**Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)**

Just more power and more storage if possible

**Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-towefull-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?**

Preferably not replacing the case

**Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?**

I have Windows installed

I am hoping to get a 33 or above next go around and still feel like I held back, I have about 65-70 days and I have already studied about 40-50 hours. How many hours should I study a day to get maximum results?

Hi all! I just joined this sub because I’m not sure where else to go.
My fiancé and I are getting married on October 26th this year (yay!) but we’ve been neglecting on making our honeymoon plans official. We plan to go from October 28-November 2nd the week after our wedding.
At first we decided on Nova Scotia, Canada, but a lot of things seem to close early for the off season (understandable, I live near Kelly’s Island in Ohio and the island closes down mostly in October). I was also worried about the weather being too cold. Then I thought about Cape Cod area in Massachusetts, but I’m also worried about the same thing. My fiancé and I aren’t exactly beach people but I think we might have to consider a beach vacation for it being so late in the year. I was thinking of Aruba or maybe somewhere in the Florida Keys for a more beach vibe.
We enjoy the outdoors and anything with hiking would be great for us. Any fun activities outside resorts are something I would consider (that aren’t bike riding, unfortunately my fiancé does not know how to ride a bike).
Any beach and non-beach recommendations will be great- or if I’m wrong about Nova Scotia & Cape Cod and we should go there for our honeymoon, let me know! We mostly want to stick to US and Canada because of travel cost.
