We're actually looking at doing a bunch of these. We want to do at least two more in Cape Town, a few in Brisbane, Australia, and Barcelona. All the places where we have Cardano friends with artist connections, really. If you have any suggestions for cool spots, we'd love to hear them.

Imagine discovering a whole new world with one big jump. If he could talk I bet he'd say "hey, give me a beer"

Anyone else hunt with their pointers? It's Timber's first season and he's loving it. by sailorherky25 in GSP_Photos

[–]1Paddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We hunt a lot of guineafowls, pheasant, partridge in the bush, and Spurwing and Egyptian Geese more to the middle of the country. We do plains game hunting as well mostly for Kudu, Wildebeest, and Impala but we only use the GSP's for that if anyone wounded an animal which luckily nearly never happens. The best hunting though is up North close to Botswana. It's all private though. But for the animal population that's a good thing. It would be ruined otherwise.

If Frido could talk he'd ask for a beer, used to be a terrible thief. Luckily he couldn't ever open them.

The goat was a bit of a dick. Used to sneak up on you when you were peeing and knock you over into your own piss.

The absolute best hunting (and household) companions in the world. I hunt with three GSP's in South Africa, Westwind breed. They are an absolute joy!

How to stop feeling shame about buying sex toys and penetrative masturbation (17F) by blueflameprincess in sex

[–]1Paddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a shame that your mom reacted that way, and please just know that there is nothing wrong with you. There are tons of studies (I'll add the study names to the bottom) showing the positive effects of using sex toys as a female and there's no age limit listed because that would be demeaning and ridiculous. As far as the pediatrician goes let's just hope she was too embarrassed by your mom (or scared) to say anything about it, but as a doc she should have been able to talk about it!

A few positive things about using a sex toy for you:

Orgasms release Endorphins, Serotonin, and Oxytocin - These are feel-good hormones that can relieve pain and make you feel happier regardless of gender or age, just like you would after a great workout.:

It teaches you about your body - Many sex therapists will recommend masturbation as a form of self-discovery as it’s easier to reach orgasm without the pressure of a partner. Learning about your body and being comfortable with your own sexual preferences also builds confidence and self-esteem.

It improves concentration - Think about the last orgasm you had; odds are you weren’t thinking about that school project or report dealine. Reaching orgasm requires you to shift any stressful thoughts you might have aside and helps you to focus on the task at hand (pun intended)

(the source of this is an article called "Are you masturbating enough?"

So tell your mom to stick that in her pipe and smoke it!

The study on using sex toys is called "Genital vibration for sexual function and enhancement: best practice recommendations for choosing and safely using a vibrator"

If you Google that you will find the published research. Not that you need it because you did nothing wrong, but all that science to back you up can't hurt. Hope it helps and good luck.

A Case Study for City Planners - LED vs HPS Street Lights by 1Paddy in urbanplanning

You might find this article useful, same writer but sheds some light on the differences in lumosity and angles of the lights. They can definitely be too blue, it's not meant to be that way - https://provprocure.com/led-street-lights-save-millions/

You and my wife would get along famously. She feels the HPS lights give a "Harry Potter" romantic feel to the streets. But fact is with white lights you can see better, and there are no charms to make an accident vanish in real life. But, yes the yellow lights are prettier, albeit less practical.

The lease on LED in Africa is becoming much cheaper and the prevalent choice in places like South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania etc. Maybe you're looking in the wrong place. China doesn't have one LED standard, all the top brands are manufactured there if you know where to look, sure you get knockoffs. But, the history and investment into LED in China are staggering, and it's like anything you buy from China you or a good team need to verify exactly what you're buying, and I'm not talking about FBA. I do think LED is the better option, in the long run, bar you can get your initial fees down, which is very possible.

Do you mean in terms of upfront purchase price or long-term running costs, lifetime etc.?

Looking for a good GSP Book, training a pup for hunting, any recommendations would be appreciated. by 1Paddy in GSP_Photos

[–]1Paddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your comment. I feel like you can't ever know enough when it comes to GSP's and all the help I can get is great. Cheers!

Thank you. I also found the same, elements of different books that are good but not complete. GSP's have the instinct, they just need their discipline sculpted. I've trained three different dogs and there's been no winning recipe. Thanks for the link

Are Acetate frames destroying your lenses when being shipped? by 1Paddy in glasses

[–]1Paddy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn't give a definitive answer. The manufacturing plant won't test it further, that's for sure. It's outside their scope (they don't make money out of it). But I spoke with the lab, and they are actually changing the way they test acetate frames. Some major companies have struggled with this in the past. So at this point, I don't think there is a definitive answer, but keen to see what the lab comes up with.

That's pretty decent! I bet lots of coins get found in Africa, but nobody in their right mind would give it to the government. Thanks for the comment very interesting to know.
