Rocky Ripple has been in the news lately because of the flooding. I’m curious about the history of it, its identity as a town, what it’s like to live there, etc. The character of it is so much different than surrounding areas like Butler Tarkington, Crown Hill, Meridian Kessler, and Broad Ripple. I’d love to hear from anyone who lives there, used to live there, or knows local history/facts about the area.
I had a bike shop built me a custom Bridge Club about six months ago. It has mostly stock components but upgraded bars, stem, tires, chainring, and cranks. I ended up crashing (no damage to the bike except scuffed shifters) and had to take a couple months off. I’m back at it and just not loving it like I thought I would. I’m considering selling it but as it’s basically brand new, I’m hoping to not take too big of a hit on it. Anyone know the best way to sell a Surly in great condition like this? I’m hoping there’s a venue out there where people would appreciate the upgraded components.
TLDR: bought a Bridge Club six months ago. Have rode it 100 miles total. Hoping to sell it but don’t know where is best to retain value.
When I’m having a good, productive day and my Vyvanse (50mg) is working well, occasionally I’ll find that I get caught up in the details of my plan to get things on my to-do list done, rather than just doing the things on the list. I love a good outline/planner app, and I’ll suddenly realize I spent all this time fine-tuning the outline/app when I could have knocked out half my list in the same amount of time 🤦♂️
Curious if anyone else experiences this!
My mom (63F) recently bought a new desk, MacBook and monitor so I decided to buy her a Galaxy 100 Lite. I switched out the keycaps. This is going to be a night and day upgrade for her vs 10 year old Dell keyboard. These AliExpress keycaps were such a steal at $17. Using the stock Feker Marble White linear switches

I know nothing about Funkos. I’m de-cluttering my office and figured I’d post on here in case there were any memorabilia collectors
Hello. My 11 year old, FIV+, female domestic shorthair has had four bacterial ear infections in her life, all in the summer. The vet predicts seasonal allergies.
A week ago, I took her to the vet for itchy ears. The vet swabbed her ear and confirmed bacterial infection under microscope. They cleaned her ears and gave her a prednisolone injection. They prescribed trasaderm drops twice a day for ten days and tapering prednisolone pills for a total of \~15 days ish.
On day 6 post-vet, she is now sneezing and very sniffly with the sniffles increasing. She is still eating drinking and going to bathroom okay, and acts generally like herself but with mild lethargy. This has been happening for 24 hours. If she is up moving around, sometimes the sneezing happens every couple of minutes and each time she attempts to smell something she’s sniffly.
Three years ago the same thing happened on a very similar timeline. She ended up getting so sniffly that time that she wasn’t able to keep up on her grooming because it would make her sneeze and she seemed very lethargic that time.
The pattern is what worries me. The first time, I thought she had just “caught something” at the vet. But now I’m noticing it’s a pattern and am wondering if it has something to do with the bacterial infection. I’m worried.
Any advice is super appreciated! Thanks.
TL;DR— cat has bacterial ear infection and gets cold-like symptoms after seeing vet and starting trasaderm and prednisolone. Second time this has happened

30M, haven’t been to the dentist since age 20. I want to go to the dentist but am absolutely terrified I have wrecked my teeth forever. I am worried I will need root canals, several fillings, many long and arduous procedures, etc. I have a lot of medical related anxiety and this is one of my biggest things I’ve struggled with.
Can someone please tell me kindly/gently but realistically how bad of shape I’m in here? The photos are not freshly brushed, apologies.
Background: Haven’t totally neglected my teeth at home, but it hasn’t been great. For most of the ten years, just brushing one or two times per day. I went every six months from early childhood to age 18. Never had a cavity. Also never had any tooth pain but do have bleeding gums occasionally that seem to get better sometimes and worse other times.
The older I get, the better I am at home care. Lately have been taking it very seriously at home and use an Oral B io toothbrush twice a day, floss with flosser and waterpik once per day, and mouthwash twice per day. I’m committed to changing my habits going forward but I’m so scared of what I’ll find out during the appointment. My fear is more about what they’ll have to do besides the cleaning rather than the cleaning itself
TL;DR - 30 years old, no cleanings in 10 years. How bad are my teeth? Please be kind. Thank you
There was a pawn on b5. Never had two brilliant moves in a row until yesterday. Moves 23 and 24. Rating: 1381 for white, 1226 for black
Twelve weeks ago my Surly 8 pack rack (2.0) failed and landed on the front wheel of my Bridge Club. I went over the bars and broke a couple of bones. I had not tightened the adjustment center bolts down enough and it came loose. I had a Wald 137 basket on the rack with a heavy chain lock, book, and pair of shoes in the basket.
I’m finally medically cleared to ride again and have fully recovered but I’m too nervous to use the rack. Anyone have any recommendations on how to ensure the rack absolutely cannot fail? I’ve seen fabric straps that connect the rack to the bars, but I’m not really sure what to do.
TL;DR—too nervous to use rack after it caused bad crash. How can I secure it to the bike better?
I noticed the city finally reassigned the lanes on College going north at 38th. For years it used to be that the left lane was for left and straight and the right lane was right turn only. Every single time I’d be at that intersection there’d be a line of cars having to merge left at the last minute because they didn’t realize the right lane was right turn only. Left lane appears to be left turn only now. Right lane being straight + right turn
30M here. I was diagnosed a month ago with ADHD primarily inattentive type. I have been taking 30mg of Vyvanse each day for 25 days. I had my dose increased two days ago to 40mg. The two days I’ve taken the 40mg, I’m noticing it’s less effective at relieving my symptoms AND I have less side effects like dry mouth and that ever so slightly “locked in” feeling. Kind of seems like it’s less strong overall in both the good and bad ways.
The dose was increased because my symptoms were not relived as much as I would have liked. I got maybe 50% reduction on 30mg and 25% reduction on 40mg.
Sleep and diet are identical to when I was taking the 30mg dose.
Anyone know what could be going on? Is it still too early to judge the new dose? I’m new to stimulant medication so I’m curious. Ive heard of too high of a dose not being effective, but it seems strange that both the symptom relief AND the bad side effects are decreased on the higher dose. Much appreciated!
TL;DR - 40mg feels less effective and less powerful than 30mg, both in symptom relief and side effects.

Appeared quickly out of nowhere. The head of it is slightly bigger than a golf ball
I’ve had a habit of taking a 200mg caffeine tablet between 6-7 AM each day and another one at 4:30 PM each day when I leave work. Been doing this for maybe six years. I never really increase or decease the amount except sometimes I’ll have coffee early instead of the tablet.
Was recently prescribed Vyvanse and so I need to quit caffeine. Took the Vyvanse for the first time yesterday and had 100mg in the afternoon and that’s it. Today I’ve had no caffeine and it’s 8:30 PM.
My head is hurting so bad I almost can’t believe it. I’ve been laying down for hours just trying to get through it. I’ve got to go to work tomorrow. When do you think this will end?!?
TL;DR: 400mg per day habit. Had 100mg yesterday. 0mg today. When will headache stop??
30M here. Symptoms since childhood. Diagnosed with combined type ADHD with higher scores on inattentive type and meeting minimum requirements for hyperactive type. I have so many questions and am feeling hopeful and anxious. I’ve never tried a stimulant med before so I don’t know what is going to happen.
What should I expect as far as effects and side effects of the medication?
I’d love to know what you like most about Vyvanse and what you dislike most. Let’s hear it all.
It's time for a new wallet. I'd like to buy a card holder style wallet with room for at least four cards and preferably a small cash pocket in the middle. Full grain leather strongly preferred. Anyone have any recommendations? Hoping to find one that will last 5-10+ years. Thanks!
I’ve been getting into wine lately. Would like to be able to go to a store and talk to some knowledgeable staff and get some interesting or unique bottles.
I’m also looking for bars with a decent wine list. Patio preferred.
I’ve been to the Big Red wine store at College and Kessler and am looking for more of this kind of thing. Any recommendations are welcome.
Thanks!
I have jury duty this week for the first time. If my group is selected, I have to attend in person at the community justice building. What should I expect? I have absolutely no idea what will happen except that some lawyers may ask me some questions. Are these one on one interviews or are they asking the entire group questions and we raise our hand to answer? Any info at all about what to expect would be much appreciated, including timeline, setting, interview format, lunch, etc
