Stiffness in neck and upper back morning

So, me and my wife have been looking for a new house for a bit. We went to see somewhere last week that she liked, but my heart wasn't in it. I had recently applied to move to my dream position where I work and it was a bit of a process and down to the last 2 candidates and they went with the other. I found out the day we went to visit the house, so I was a bit apathetic.
We went to see it a second time on Saturday and brought parents and everyone liked it. I was in a better mood, but I'm not a fan of the kitchen or the back door, and theres 1 or 2 other issues I have. But, it's in a nice area, not the school district I hoped for, but it's right by a park and has a decent back yard and it's probably a steal at this price.
We put in an offer and it was accepted and we are moving forward. My concern is that I'm not fully "in" and that I'm going to either be "forcing" myself to go along or just unhappy in the future. My biggest concern is when I woke up this morning to say goodbye to my wife as she left, the first thing I wanted to say in the morning was "I don't want this house."
I just don't know if it's cold feet or if it's that I wasn't in a good headspace and now that I'm clearly thinking having "moped" for a few days over the job that I'm getting more in touch.
Just, looking to see if second thoughts like this are common and if anyone else has ever woken up with "I don't want this house." As a second thought and moved past it.
I've spoken to my wife and we are going to see it again before the inspection hopefully, but I feel like I've put our agent though too much to just "pull out," as well as we put up 10k earnest money I don't want to lose, and we've put our finance people through a small adventure. I feel like I'm just "committed."
Anyway, sorry to ramble, just looking for thoughts/advice or if this is just normal house buying paranoia.

With my first I didn’t feel them at all. This is my second and I feel horrible intense pain in my sides constantly but it’s randomly spiking. I’m 28 weeks now, but during the second trimester if I overdid it (chores, playing with toddler, walking, etc) I would get that same sharp pain but usually in just one side. It was to the point where I could barely move and my doc said it was just round ligament pain and I needed to take it easy.
I felt really good yesterday since I finally got some decent sleep, so all I did that would be considered “extra” is caught up on some dishes. I still spent most of the day resting. This morning the pain is so bad I feel like I’m going to pass out. I got all clammy and shaky and I still feel out of it. It randomly spikes and gets worse if I get up. I currently am sitting back in my recliner and I can hardly move for fear that it’s going to spike again.

Any downsides to just loading up the washing machine before bed and throwing in the overnight nappy in first thing in the morning and hitting go? Trying to get a routine sorted for when I go back to work

Hello techsupport guys! I would need your help on one of my unusual issues.
Last March 17, I bought a Ryzen 7 5700x3D to give my old 3600 system upgrade. It was running on a Asus TUF b450m gaming motherboard. I updated the bios to version 4401 and it worked from March until this weekend. I have a 750W Gold PSU and a 3070 running off 16GB of 3200mhz of RAM and a Lian Li 240 AIO cooler.
This weekend, I have experienced random freezing when playing Diablo 4 or just by watching videos on youtube. I tried to troubleshoot the issue by unplugging other devices by unplugging other USB devices and I was able to play all weekend.
Come Sunday morning, the PC wont POST at all. The lights will turn on but it will not show any display (no signal). There is one time where it tried to turn off then restarted itself again. I tried the following steps to check what is the issue:

1. Test if the PC will POST by removing all components like HDD, RAM modules, GPU (just listen for the sound and there is no sound) etc..
2. Cleared CMOS battery by removing the battery while the PC is unplugged and pressing and holding the power button to drain the electricity and re-plugging the battery back in. Still no POST.
3. Repaste and reseat the CPU cooler.
4. Reseat and clean the ram modules.

As I find this unusual, I tried putting in my old Ryzen 3600 back in the PC to check maybe the new CPU is the issue. My PC posted and turned on with the 3600.
I went back to the store where I bought the 5700x3D for possible RMA and they tested it on a A520 and b550 board and the CPU POST on their end. They also run a cinebench single core and multi core test while I was there to ensure that it is not a bad chip and it did finish the test. I also did run a cinebench on my own rrig using the 3600 and it also did finish the test.
I went home and tried the CPU again and it still wont POST. Now I am not sure on what steps to do to check. I know its either a faulty PSU or a faulty board but I dont know how to test to ensure. I can only afford a PSU or a motherboard replacement so I would really help any advice you can give to further assess any issues since my 3600 is still working on the current setup.
Thanks

So, I had pretty bad thick white build up of I don't even know what on my gums some months back, it even bled when I just feather touch my gums, I didn't even apply any pressure but it bled and my top gums were swollen a bit
I didn't go to dentist right away, I was shit scared to discover it one fine morning, online sources said it's gingivitis or early stage of predontitis which is irreversible in later stage.
We have a herbal doc in my family, he suggested some herb powder that I used like a mouthwash but I gotta keep it for 10 mins in my mouth.
My thick ass white buildup + bleeding problem disappeared due to this in under two weeks and my teeth and gums appeared super normal.
But I got lazy and stopped using it, then notice it to slowly build up white white salivic layer on my gums that goes away after I massage my gums.
With this seemingly minor problem now I felt more confident than how worse it was before and went to dentist and told him everything, he couldn't say what exactly it was, but he said it's tartar and bacteria buildup gave me clorhexdine mouthwash and a gel to massage my gums to stop the swelling and the salivaic build up.
He said in two weeks it should disappear except it didn't, it slowly keeps forming every morning and at the end of the day if I check.
How to stop this formation and mildly swollen gums, just my top four teeth on front, it's hardly noticable but it's swollen and 60% of frontal gum (outside facing) keeps forming this layer.
I never had dental issues, I tried this stupid diet called OMAD which is one meal a day, which is just oats, honey and flaxseed, dentist said due that my immunity might've gone down for the bacteria to hold up n persist and now I have this problem.
I should've either chosen a healthy food in that diet or stopped it before it's too late but yeah...

i have a girlfriend, we got together last year and this march was our 1st year being together. we were in high school then, now i moved to another country. we're doing ldr.idk when im going to see her again, we used to be so close, she was my first love and i was the first for her. we used to talk a lot, i've never been close to someone like this, including my parents. when i was a kid i used to be alone, no one would talk to me, when i found her i felt something that i never did. i prayed for her to never leave when she left. when her parents found out they told me to leave, now she talks to me without her parents knowing about it. recently her texts are getting dry, i have to ask for everything. she doesnt talk all day, when she goes to sleep she just sends a picture of her, says i love you with some emojis and sleeps. its just that she doesnt talk to me all day, i just cant be the same person i used to be before that, i have attachment issues, and i feel like she doesnt understand that, ive tried explaining but she apologizes every time and never changes it. whenever she goes offline she doesnt say anything and comes back after an hour or two. i have literal breakdowns in that hour, i keep crying i cant control it, i have parents but i dont show it to them. i say that im using the restroom but all i do is cry, and when she comes back its already night for her and its the same thing again, it happens all day and i cant keep doing this. she cries when i ask her to leave me. i cant keep doing this, i dont want to make her cry, i love her. i cant sleep or do anything in peace. i have so much ahead of me, i have good grades, i go to a good college, i have loving parents, but i cant do this relationship thing im so clingy i cant even have my food, its like i ran away from a hospital where they treat patients with mental disorder. i hate being like this all day. i tried everything to not think about anything, but its been a week since i said that and i still cry everyday. i felt like if i had it off my chest it would be somehow better. idk if ill make it to next morning, but i hate doing this everyday.

I (28F) have been on a couple of dates with this guy (27M), whom I met on a dating app. First date went great, we had a lot in common and the conversation was free flowing. There was physical contact too, and he kissed me before dropping me at my door (it was a good kiss).
He texted me right away with a little joke about making sure I got home safe, and we texted back and forth for the next couple of weeks. He asked me out again for drinks and I agreed.
The second date went really well too. He asked if I wanted to come back to his place to smoke up (euphemism for sex obviously), I said not tonight but definitely soon, once we know each other better. He didn't mind at all, and the conversation continued as normal. We talked about what we wanted from each other, and both of us were in agreement that it wasn't going to be a casual hook-up or that we were only looking for sex.
The chemistry was through the roof. We downed multiple drinks and were making out at the bar in front of everyone, all over each other basically. Our conversation got sexual and we talked about all the shit we would do to each other as soon as we got the chance.
On the cab ride home is where I fucked up. We made out, he fingered me and I unzipped his pants to return the favour. Except it was dark, I was very drunk, and... couldn't find his dick. I fumbled for a minute and he kept trying to guide me, but unfortunately an internal panic attack hit me. Intrusive thoughts such as "you're 28, still single, groping strangers in a cab" overwhelmed me and I got upset abruptly and pulled my hand away, and withdrew. I didn't tell him what I was thinking of course, but my withdrawal must have been obvious.
The cab reached my place. I mumbled goodbye, gave him a quick hug and bolted. I was so drunk I passed out as soon as I hit the bed. When I woke up the next morning there was no text from him, a contrast from the first date. I texted a long apology for my behaviour in the cab, adding that I had a really great time last night, and wanted to see him soon. I even joked about how I give better handjobs when not drunk out of my mind. He replied 24 hours later saying, "that's okay, hope you weren't hungover." I apologised again, then asked if we're good? Three days later and he still hasn't replied.
I'm confused. If he was only in it for sex, he would've been in touch because I'd already promised him that we'd get down and dirty very soon. So why the cold shoulder? Where did I go so drastically wrong that he won't even reply to me, and how should I rectify it? I really like this person. Opinions please!

Hey y’all,
I (29F) met up with a guy from a dating app. He drove about a pretty good distance to meet up, he got a hotel and we ended up sleeping together. I’m not really the hook up type, so I left early in the morning kinda embarrassed but had a good time. I ended up forgetting my item (for real!) and he took it back with him.
We had been touch since and the communication has been pretty regular. Over this past weekend, I noticed a drop in contact (disappointing since I was hoping it had potential before the hook up). I generally don’t confront ghosts, but this does feel like a drastic energy switch.
Long story short: I want my item back as it was a gift. I’m fully prepared to never see it again, but is this message too much to send?
“Hey, hope everything is ok. Not sure if you are over this (I hope not!), but if so, I would really like my item back as it was a gift from my best friend for being MOH in her wedding and I’m sentimental.”
Thank you for the advice!!

(Baka last update na ituu.)
May nabasa kasi ako na parang di raw totoo ‘to kasi ang daming nangyari within 2-3 weeks.
Actually, pang fourth time na pang gagago na ‘to. I don’t know, everything became messy after my birthday last December, after giving me a promise ring (na mej maluwag) and after we went to Pandora para pasukatan ang ring finger ko for engagement ring “daw”, lol. Sign na siguro ‘yung maluwag na promise ring HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
First was last Dec, few days after my birthday, he went to our house around 10PM, lasing siya that time, galing siya sa bahay ng pinsan nila, boys night keme, but he only stayed for few minutes kasi babalik daw siya doon. Pero he told me to wait for him kasi sa’min daw siya matutulog. I waited for him, hanggang sa napuyat na ko wala pa rin. I called him many times pero walang sagot. Nag alala pa ko no’n coz dala niya ‘yung sasakyan niya, syempre naisip ko that time naaksidente na or what.
The next morning, ang dami kong missed call from his sister, asking me if I was with him hindi raw kasi umuwi hindi rin matawagan. We were all worried about him, ‘yung pinsan niya na pinuntahan niya wala ring idea kung nasaan siya kasi umalis rin daw doon pagkabalik. Guess what kung saan siya galing? Sa bahay ng current girlfriend ng ex fling ko. Oo, ang hirap paniwalaan pero yes super smol ng world. Actually, sila ‘yung common denominator namin kaya humaba usapan namin nung first usap namin sa getting to know each other stage. Friend niya ‘yung current girlfriend ng ex fling ko and nakakasama niya sa gatherings ‘yung ex fling ko pero hindi sila close. Anyways, my ex-BF hated my ex-fling, after ko kasi sagutin si ex-BF, ex-fling messaged me na bakit daw jinowa ko si ex-BF. And nung first month namin ni ex-BF, ilang beses ako pinuntahan ni ex-fling sa bahay iwan lang si ex-BF. Mas gwapo si ex-fling pero mas gago, medyo messy rin kasi ‘yung story namin HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. Toro kasi ako before, kaya attracted ako sa red. It’s another story.
Going back, hindi ko rin alam mahal yata ako ni Lord kasi nakita ko lang naman na may story si current GF ni ex-fling na nasa inuman siya tas iba na ‘yung kutob ko. I messaged my ex-fling, I asked him kung nasaan girlfriend niya, he told me na kasama daw ni Zena, nag inom daw last night (pinsan ni current GF ni ex fling). Around 11AM, nakauwi na si ex-BF, I asked him saan siya galing, he told me sa bahay daw ni Zena siya galing with their other tropa. Syempre I already know, na nandoon din si current girlfriend ni ex-fling so I asked him if kasama ba niya ‘yon, HE TOLD ME NA NO AND HE DENIED. I messaged ex-fling if totoo ba na kasama ng girlfriend niya si Zena, sabi oo daw she even sent him a pic with Zena. So I told him my ex-BF’s answer to me na kasama rin daw si Zena. And there, ex-BF and ex-fling’s current GF were both telling us na kasama nila si Zena but denying na kasama nila ang isa’t isa. Later on, we found out from their other kasama na oo nga na parehas nga silang nandoon at magkatabi pa daw sa inuman and same room rin natulog but with Zena daw. We broke up after that but few weeks nag come back rin coz he missed me daw and that he’s sorry about what he did, the lying and denying but not sorry na nakasama niya si current GF ni ex-fling. They’re just friends lang daw talaga. Syempre, pinatawad ko, ginaslight ko pa sarili ko na baka OA lang ako. But you know what, later on I found out na clingy rin pala sila during that time, na kapag nac-CR si current GF ni ex-fling nagpapasama siya kay and ex-BF.
That was the first. The second was last Feb, nahuli ko siya na nag drunk chat sa crush niya na mahilig mag post ng naka-bikini and luwa ang suso. Binati niya ng Happy V-Day! Obob ko sobra, if you’re my friend baka nilublob mo na ko sa timba. But anyways, ayoko na. Too much na, I don’t have any plans na bumalik pa. Di na rin naman ‘yon babalik, and nakakahiya na rin sa sarili ko at sa mga kaibigan ko if babalikan ko pa. This is just a phase, things will get better rin.
Update with him and new girl, ex-BF changed his profile pic na ako ‘yung nag pic. New girl commented, “Bakit ka nagpalit DP, ayaw mo na ba sa luma?” with laughing emoji. And they went out today, guess what where he brought her? To our favorite resto, hehe. I don’t have any plans of doing any pettiness but my friends plan to. He has a secret na ang may alam lang ay ang family niya and me and his ex-GF, nalaman ko lang dahil malikot ang kamay ko and wala siyang choice kung hindi ang umamin.
Update with girl besty, she’s back in the US. Anyways, may nabasa ako na wala naman daw cheating sa ginawa nung dalawa, lols. Ang dami kong screenshot ng convo nila, favorite ko pa nga doon ay ‘yung screenshot ng suggestion niya. My ex-BF told her na nag aaway kami because of her, and this was her answer: “Makipag break ka na lang. Kasi di’ba may gano’n? Kapag di na nila kaya, araw araw nag aaway, wala na sa ayos, makipagbreak ka na lang.”
I already blocked him and all his friends and fam na rin. I really want peace.

Guys, I hope I'm not hallucinating.
This morning I fired up my mac Desktop App getting ready to do some work when I remembered how much I can't wait for the seamless voice feature to come out. Anything, I check for an update just in case I missed something, and it found one.
I just updated to build: Version 1.2024.136 (1716248178)
Anywho, after the update downloaded I clicked "install & relaunch" and I SWEAR that at the Top of my ChatpGPT window it said ChatGPT5 for a SPLIT second right before it switched over back to the ChatGPT4o Model.
What do we think this means guys?
Someone else try and see!

Again, I KNOW, i need to talk to a therapist but appointments are hard to get so until then I need some reassurance to avoid another panic attack.
Located in USA, NJ
Last Tuesday/Wednesday, didn’t see or hear anything unusual in our home. I’m usually a light sleeper lately (last 9.5 months) since my son was born- typically wake up multiple times a night to check on him just out of habit at this point since he usually sleeps through the night.
Noticed at some point on Wednesday, not first thing in the morning, that he had two little dots on his face and looked like they had bled (later found tiny blood stains on the bed sheet). Didn’t think anything of it, babies get cuts, it happens. I was up super early that day around 4:15am to start work early - from home. Again didn’t notice anything. Around 5:30ish when I was in the bathroom next to the bedroom my son was in sleeping still, my two dogs were also in the room with him. One of the dogs barked, so i naturally yell at him because the baby is sleeping. He runs to me, i tell him to stop, he goes back in the room and barked again, then stopped. I didn’t go in to see why he was barking since my son didn’t wake up from it. Since i was up so early that day, when I got home from work i took a nap on the couch and when i woke up, my thigh was a bit itchy (if i remember correctly, now doubting myself) so i start scratching then realize there’s two little bumps. Bumps have a dot of blood on them, probably from the scratching? That’s when it hit me.
I realized what my marks look like and remembered what my sons look like and that my dog barked in the morning when he doesn’t typically bark that early or upstairs often. I looked at my husband and said ‘what if we were bit by a bat in our sleep, didn’t notice it and the dogs got to it before we could see?’ He looked at me like ‘are you serious’ - knowing that I’m petrified of bats.
We SEARCHED the house. Behind pictures on the walls (thanks google), in the attic, in the storage room, all over our room, nothing. No poop, no bat.
So my question to you all is (and please be nice as i’m very very aware of i have anxiety. It gets bad when the subject at hand is anything to do with bats) - is this scenario possible? A bat flew into our room at night, landed on our bed where we were sleeping and bit us then was able to scurry off the bed and hide without my dogs realizing until both my husband and i were out of the room, in which then caused my dog to bark. I was wearing sweatpants and using a blanket, and my son’s face (where his marks were) was next to mine. Would the bat have been able to get off the blanket? Or would its claws have gotten stuck and we would have seen or heard some sort of screeching?
If my dogs were trying to eat a bat, would we have heard screeching?
If a bat bit me through my blanket and pants, would i have holes or rips in them?
If a bat was on my son’s face biting him while next to me, would he have woken up and would i have woken?
I apologize for repetitive posts…but i have had a phobia of bats ever since i was a kid. Rabies phobia didn’t start until 8ish years ago when we woke to a bat in our room flying around and had to google what to do - thats when i learned about it.
**note, we live in the same house as when we had the bat years ago. That bat got in we believe from the chimney as we didn’t have a chimney cap at the time.
ETA: also became very nervous after a doctor looked at the marks on us and said to start PEP - it felt like a confirmation of what I explained above. Since Doctor administered HRIG again after already having it once in my life, will I now not be able to build the antibodies for rabies from the vaccines?

So on April 12th me(Male, 25) and my girlfriend (Female, 24, height 5'10, weight 70kg) had sex without using any protection and the next morning she took a contraceptive pill. Even though we wanted to be sure so we checked it on 10th may we did a pregnancy test and the results were negative we used 3 kits and all shows a single line, she usually has her periods in the first week of the month 1 to 4 that's her normal cycle but this month she missed her periods and still there's no sign of it (21st may). We even checked once more 3 days back and still the kit shows she's not pregnant. Now I'm getting tensed what should we do. What can be the reasons and how should we proceed. She doesn't smoke regularly and currently she is not on any medicine she had a fever so i gave her a paracetamol. She has a very hectic schedule at work and is very stressed about her family issues.
We don't regularly use contraceptive pills. Once in a month that too very rarely otherwise it's almost 2 months.

I (33f 180lbs) was “diagnosed” with whooping cough on 5/15 after being exposed to potential whooping cough from 5/10-5/12. No tests were performed for either of us but was assumed for person I got it from due to high rate in her area and long lasting cough (she was “diagnosed” 5/13).
Anyways, I was prescribed zpak, prednisone, and benzonatate. I finished antibiotics and prednisone Sunday. I have illness induced asthma and started having a lot of wheezing early Sunday morning/maybe the day before.
As of yesterday, I should be no longer contagious but my chest is rattling every time I breathe. The cough isn’t awful yet but I do cough often. I thought I was taking mucinex this whole time but discovered yesterday morning it was just a nighttime cold medicine. I am now three mucinex pills in. Drank a lot of water and tea yesterday.
My concern is,is the congestion supposed to be this bad at this point after antibiotics? Do I need to go back to urgent care today? I am supposed to return to work tomorrow and I work with a highly immunocompromised population and am terrified of still being contagious. Is there anything else that might be prescribed for me that may help this congestion? I sound pretty gross when I cough. I do produce some and it’s more of a whitish green. I can tell my breathing is a little better this morning but the congestion is still quite a lot.
Any insight is very much appreciated.

My 8 week old has been through some changes with formula, we started on similac 360 from the hospital and around 3 weeks she started getting bad gas and pain so we switched her to similac sensitive which worked for about two weeks. She then got sooo constipated around 6 weeks and cried while passing hard poop, so our doctor recommended enfamil reguline, which she HATED and gave her forest green smelly diarrhea, but I found that when I give her a little of it in the morning with other formula it helps her poop without diarrhea so my doc said that’s okay to do. I did some research and it seems the similac sensitive isn’t great for LOs because they aren’t usually lactose intolerant and they have sucrose which isn’t great for LOs so I put her back on similac 360 but she’s walking up crying with those gas pains again.
Should I: 1. just say f it and use the similac sensitive with reguline 2. Stick with 360 and ride the gas wave bc it will hopefully pass 3. Try a new formula that will hopefully not need a combination
To add - we do all the gas tricks (burping, paced feeding, tummy time, mylicon, etc.)
THANK YOU AMAZING MAMAS!!

I'm 27F, let's call me "Eva" for this story.
Around two weeks ago, my best friend "Stephen" (37M) was over at my place with his buddy, John (49M). They drank beer, I drank red wine, and we were just chilling, listening to music and watching videos on YT. I changed my curtains with help from Stephen, and did some other housework.
All the while, John kept saying, "Eva is so pretty, look how pretty she is. Nice butt" etc. Now, the three of us have been hanging out for about two years, and I know that John has been into me all that time. He's nice, but he's always sort of creepy towards me. But this took the cake.
Like, I was standing on a stool changing the curtains with my back against him and he incessantly pointed out how "pretty" I am, which made me uncomfortable.
Stephen left and John stayed because I was facetiming with his brother who was super nice. At some point I got super drunk and decided to go to bed. John was in the bathroom so I thought that he'd left. I got undressed (I only sleep in my panties) and climbed into bed, falling asleep probably instantly.
The next day I had a text from John, saying "it was so nice to lay next to you in your bed, it felt nice to not be alone". I found that absolutely crazy uncomfortable and texted him, saying "I thought that you had gone home, I didn't consent to you laying in my bed with me when I was almost fully naked."
I told Stephen about it this morning when we were texting, and I told him how creepy I thought it was. Dude has aspergers so he isn't the best at social cues or taking stuff seriously, and when I told him that I'm NOT gonna come over if John was there, he just said, "Boys will be boys".
I asked him if he seriously thought that it was fine. And not until then did I start wondering if John had touched me while I was sleeping, since, again, I was almost naked and he'd basically harassed me all night.
I ignored the rest of his messages and his call, and I had a panic attack and started crying. I've been through stuff like this before and it scarred me. But knowing that I was so drunk that I fell asleep and not knowing if something happened or not...
I've been on the verge of crying all day. Stephen was one of the three friends I had, but I don't think I can ever look him in the eye again. I'm just traumatized from the thought of something happening to me while I was passed out and couldn't consent. Not that I would consent to me and John doing anything in the first place.

TL;DR: Matched with a seemingly great guy on Bumble, hit it off well, moved to texting and phone calls, only to have him "test" me on our first disagreement about who should pay on dates. Despite forgiving him, he responded with hateful accusations, leaving me to move on from his manipulative behaviour.
Hey everyone,
I need some advice on a situation that’s been bothering me. Here’s the full story:
I (32) matched with this guy (37) on Bumble recently, and we hit it off immediately. We spent hours texting and eventually, we moved to a phone call that lasted several hours. We got along so well that he mentioned he would have liked to take me out that day, but he already had plans with his friends to watch an F1 race and a football match. I appreciated his honesty and told him it was fine, and we continued talking throughout the day, even while he was with his friends. It was going SPLENDIDLY!
However, out of nowhere, he made a condescending comment about my Instagram, saying it looks like he’d have to sell a kidney to take a girl like me out. I found it extremely offensive and told him that while I’m financially comfortable and can pay for myself, I do have standards when it comes to dating. I expect a man who asks me out on a date to be willing to pay for it. If a man doesn’t pay, I see it as going out as friends, and I wouldn’t consider a second date. He then doubled down, saying he was new in town and unsure where to take me because I seemed to have an extravagant lifestyle.
I clarified that I didn’t expect an extravagant first date and had a favourite bar in mind that’s quite economical due to my regular patron status there. But I wasn't sure if I was interested in moving forward with him because this had gotten too weird and uncomfortable for me.
He then admitted he was TESTING me because he has a lot of money and didn’t want to be used for it - Mentioning his FERRARI, while he was at it, which I had frankly assumed was a rental, I didn't give it a second thought or glance. He then said he was very disappointed in me accused me of being like other women who expect men to pay — He called me a Gold Digger in so many words. I found this extremely manipulative, insulting, offensive and downright disrespectful and told him so and asked him to fuck right off! Just for the record - I am also rather well-off. Not only do I make decent money, but my parents are also financially well-off.
Despite my frustration, he apologised profusely and asked for a second chance, claiming he was wrong to test me and that he genuinely wanted to get to know me better. I told him I appreciated the apology but couldn’t get past the disrespect and the implications of his “test.” I made it clear that his behaviour had made me feel judged and uncomfortable, and I didn’t see how we could move forward.
He kept insisting, saying we could laugh about this misunderstanding later and that he’d make it up to me. I reiterated that I didn’t want to feel scrutinised or judged every time we interacted, and that this incident had soured my perception of him. I told him it was best to part ways and ended the conversation. He asked me to sleep on it, and I did.
The next morning, I sent him a text to formally close things off, but on a good note, saying:
"We definitely had a fun and interesting day, but we both know this isn't going to work out! I truly enjoyed our time together and our roller coaster of a conversation. Most people don't even have dates as fun and intriguing as this! But sadly, this is the end of the road for us. I do truly wish you the very best with everything, and I'm glad we ran into each other. Take care and be well! 💗"
He didn’t respond to that text, but he continued to view my Instagram stories, which I found really passive-aggressive. So, I followed up with:
"Hey, I noticed you didn't respond to my last message. I just wanted to say that I tried to be respectful and honour the conversation we had because I genuinely valued it. It would have meant a lot to hear back from you, even just a simple acknowledgment. Regardless, I wish you all the best."
His response to that was unexpectedly hostile. He accused me of being selfish and only caring about my own feelings. He claimed he had already responded to my earlier texts and accused me of being stubborn and ungrateful for the time he spent talking to me. His tone was rude and accusatory, which only reinforced my decision to end things.
I replied, explaining how his actions had made me feel judged and disrespected. I pointed out that despite enjoying our conversation, his test and subsequent behavior were major red flags. I told him I was disappointed by his hostility and that I was hoping for a more respectful closure.
He left my final message on “seen” and hasn’t responded since. Which is fine. Screw him.
I'm not looking for advice on how to get back with him. I’m just trying to process this and move on. Any tips on how to deal with such a disappointing end to what seemed like a promising connection? Because I hadn't been this super excited to go out in a VERY long time!
Thanks for reading.

I purchased a Kraken z73 cooler as part of my build from IBUYPOWER. Here we are about a year and a half later and the pump and LCD screen has stopped working. I submitted a ticker to their customer support and at first I recieved a fast responce, tell me that IBUYPOWER would cover it because it was within their 3yr warranty. That is where the communication came to a stop. I provided my invoice from IBUYPOWER as requested and got no response from Eric. I waited 2 days and then called customer service and spoke to Paytyn. She was clearly in too big of a hurry to really listen to what i had to say. Aftere explaining everything several times she agreed to send me an RMA and shiping labels to send back the cooler. Shortly after that email was receive my ticket in the NZXT tech support dashboard dissapered, and i have gotten no reply, RMA of shipping labels. I started as new ticket this morning and it was immediatly deleted from their system saying it was combine with my previous ticket, however when you search the ticket number they gave me it says it does not exhist in their system. I will call again today but I expect no difference or help.
Any one else get terrible customer service from NZXT?

I had the shoulder going all day yesterday and as you’d expect, it stalled at 175°F, so I refilled the hopper around 8pm and just left it overnight. I had the inkbird probe in it all night and saw this morning that the roast never got past 176°, and eventually around 3am, started dropping (pellets ran out 🫤) and when we woke up at 6:30am, it was at 115°. I want to get it to 202° for all the fat to render. At what temperature should I set my oven to get the roast climbing back up to finish cooking?

So after writing about differences between AC and AC Eco, my AC failed to work yesterday. I got home and tested the Auxiliary Climate Control in the myAudi app and got the technical error: E.PA.RPC.11 (2405201729).
This morning, the AC button won't work at all. Is there an issue I should expect when I take my car in for the portable charger recall June 7th?
I read about AC Pressure sensors failing and those may be the culprit. Is there a fuse I need to look for? Is there some trouble shooting that I could try?
I also had a new AC compressor installed back in February or about 3 months ago. The same error code E.PA.RPC.11 showed up when my AC compressor failed in February but the numbers were all difference. The AC button did turn on then.

Hi guys,
Im on the 5th day on my Ostarine cycle: 12.5mg/day is my dosage, along with 10mg Cardarine, both in the morning.
My blood pressure was really high in the past few days (155/80 , 160/85 148/79 these are examples).
I checked it multiple times a day (morning midday and night) and it was always high.
I have really bad headaches, bad sleep, migraine, and the back of my head hurts constantly.
Im taking Ashwagandha, magnesium, omega3, multivitamin, but nothing works. What should i do?
