Hello, I'm looking for the chrome extension that completely takes away the URL search bar and tabs and makes the video take up the entire window. I found this extension suggested on this subreddit, and now I cannot find it at all. It's definitely not "fullscreen everything." It's called something else.

I’m looking for some advice on what would be a fair asking price for my Trek Domane AL 2 Gen 4 and cycling gear.

I bought the bike about 3 months ago for $1150, but I’m joining the military and need to sell it. It’s basically like new condition. I only rode it once for about 3 miles last month while testing my Garmin Edge 840.

It has Shimano PD-M540 SPD pedals installed. I also have a medium Giro Synthe MIPS II helmet and a pair of Shimano MX100 cycling shoes that I’d like to sell as well, either as a bundle or separately.

My main goal is to sell everything fairly quickly, so I’m willing to price it competitively rather than hold out for top dollar. Based on that, what would you consider a fair asking price for me and/or the buyer?

Also what’s the best way to sell it/bundle it? Should I: Just sell the bike by itself with the pedals?
Or bundle everything together (bike, Garmin Edge 840, helmet, and shoes)

Hey everyone,
I’m in the process of joining the Navy and will need to obtain a Secret clearance for the rate I signed for. I’m leaving at the end of July, and I’ve been trying to learn more about what this all entails and what they are actually looking for. What kinds of things are considered disqualifying versus things that can be explained. As far as I know, I don’t have anything major that would be an issue according to my basic research, but I wanted to get some perspective from people who’ve been through this process. I really love this rate I signed for and I don’t want to get my hopes up. (I studied really hard to score in this range)

A few things about my situation:
I’ve had a few traffic ticket things and have been to court for those, but nothing like super criminal like felony’s.
I started using THC vapes/oils after it became legal in my state in 2023. I’ve stopped since beginning the enlistment process.
I have about $8,000 in credit card debt and $15,000 in student loans, and I’m making payments on both.
My recruiter told me to check my credit for any collections. I found one from a graduate school semester that was supposed to be covered by financial aid/student loans but apparently wasn’t. I’m making payments on that now and getting it resolved

One of the reasons I joined the military is to improve my financial situation. I received an enlistment bonus, and my plan is to use it all portion of it to pay off my debts.

I can’t really think of anything else that would raise concerns. For those who’ve been through the clearance process:

Does any of the above sound like it would be a significant issue?
What are the biggest red flags investigators look for?
Is it more about the issues themselves, or whether you’re honest and upfront about them?

I just found this out and it threw me off because I thought I was good to go with the rate I chose. I’m planning to be truthful as possible regardless. I’m just trying to understand what to expect because I love the rate I up signed for and I don’t want to mess this up! It would hurt me a lot to find out I was allowed to swear into a job that I’m not qualified for in the end lol.
Thanks!

I bought several DrugExam Advantage 20 ng/mL THC tests and combination DrugExam tests from Amazon. At first I was testing positive, but around 27 days clean I started getting negative lines, which seemed encouraging. I told my recruiter, and he got all excited and had me come in for a more advanced cup test next day. The line on that test was extremely faint, we pondered it for a minute, but both of us could definitely see some sort of line, so he scheduled my official test for the following week.

Before the official test, I drank a lot of water and ended up urinating at least 4-6 times while waiting for the urine part. I couldn’t hold it. By the time I gave my sample, it looked wayyy clearer than the other samples I had seen. It did have a tinge of yellow, but barely, as it looked 90-95% clear. The pee’s I took while waiting were mostly water, I believe even more diluted that my official one, but honestly I was unworried about the drug test part, as I fully believed I was in the clear with all of the negatives I got. After the official one, I probably pissed another 6-10 times while finishing everything up.

As I rode home I did some research on my phone to find out if they would let me go through the whole process if I had flunked the urine part. I found out, they will let you do everything and then the drug test could come back 2-7 days later. So this made me anxious again. When I got home, I immediately took a DrugExam 20 ng test and got a positive result, which completely freaked me out.

After that, I dipped three more tests over the next 2 hours or so. They all said negative lines. The next morning, my first urine of the day tested negative on my last DrugExam 20 ng test, which made me feel better. However, I then bought a different cup test from CVS and that one came back positive.

Now I’m worried that the DrugExam tests may not have been accurate and that I tested too soon. I’m concerned my lab test could come back positive, which would mean having to wait another 60–90 days. Has anyone had experience with inconsistent home test results like this, especially when you’re right around the cutoff or something? I literally just feel like I’m praying for grace and luck at this point, and I’m upsets with these shitty dip tests and myself for letting this guy send me so soon when I really was not in rush. I would have rather waited 2-3 weeks longer, than wait 90 freaking days

There's a shocking number of drivers who either don't understand what a yield sign means or simply choose to ignore it.

Every day I see people fly down freeway on-ramps and merge without slowing down, expecting vehicles already traveling 60–75 mph to brake for them. That's not how yielding works. The vehicle entering traffic is responsible for finding a safe gap and adjusting speed accordingly, not forcing everyone else to react.

I also regularly see drivers come to a complete stop at yield signs when entering traffic circles, even when there is no traffic to yield to. Both behaviors disrupt traffic flow and create unnecessary hazards.

A yield sign isn't a suggestion. It doesn't give you the right-of-way. If you don't understand when to yield, when to merge, or when to keep moving, you have a serious and embarrassing gap in basic driving knowledge. Traffic enforcement should focus more on these violations because they're far more dangerous than many people realize.

Overall, this driving behavior is a sign of very very low IQ, as well as entitlement, and it needs to be called out more.

I’m 29 and seriously considering joining the Navy, and I’m looking for some honest advice, especially from anyone who joined a bit later or has experience with enlistment policies.

A little background: I was very active and disciplined growing up, played multiple sports in high school and did powerlifting for several years in college. I spent 9 years of consistent disciplined training. During those years I felt unstoppable. After graduating, I became a teacher and things were going well for a while. It was like dating and becoming a teacher was a peak for me. But after a breakup a few years ago, I created a pity party and let myself fall into a rut mentally and physically. I started gambling like a dumbass, thinking I could win my way out. I learned a life lesson.

Right now, I’m not where I want to be. I’m still living at home, I’m no longer in the shape I used to be, and I’ve lost a lot of the discipline I once had. Not only that, but I'm broke and living at home. I don't really even have any Bills besides debt and phone bill and utilities I help my mom with. I’m also teaching at a school where I don’t feel effective or fulfilled, and I don’t see myself continuing in this career, especially at this current school.

Over the past couple of years, I also started using THC (dabs/gummies) after it became legal in my state. I’ve realized it’s not helping me move forward and has made me too comfortable staying stuck. I haven’t used heavily for a long time, but I did use recently (within the past week).

I come from a family with military history (Army and Marine Corps), and I’ve always felt a pull toward serving. At this point, I think I need structure, accountability, and a fresh start, and the Navy seems like it could provide that. I'm also particularly good at working with my hands and fixing things and working with tools, and see myself as more of a blue collar guy than a teacher.

My main questions:

-Has anyone here joined the Navy around my age? What was your experience like?

-How strict is the Navy currently on prior THC use?

-Should I be fully upfront with a recruiter about recent use, and how long should I wait before starting the process?

-I have a recruiter coming to meet with me at work, any advice or questions I should ask him?

-Any advice for someone trying to rebuild discipline and prepare physically/mentally before enlisting?

Please don't feel the need to read/answer everything, but I would appreciate any bits of advice. I’m motivated to turn things around and would appreciate any guidance.
