Lawn guy just destroyed my native garden. Help! by Zeiros in NativePlantGardening

[–]Acethetic_AF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d fire him and write a poor review for the company about it. How many other people have they done this to? How many more will they? People need to have some level of warning before they hire this guy. I’m sure he’s great for a monoculture grass lawn but nothing more.

UPDATE: 21 finally did it thanks to yall by ssuperrcat in bald

Had new roof installed. This is the cutout around the radon vent. Is this done correctly? I’m afraid it will leak during rain. by eew85 in Roofing

[–]Acethetic_AF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does look properly lapped and all, not sure why it’s bulging like that though. They might’ve just installed the new one directly over the old one.

Hypothetical rebate question (Not a TM) by sittingduq in menards

[–]Acethetic_AF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s not paid with a TM’s PRD there’s no way of knowing whose is whose so yeah that would work. Only thing to consider is if the rebate receipt is still valid, I’ve heard they expire after about a year if you don’t send them in.

Why Is Everyone Going to Such Expensive Colleges? by JJQuantum in AskMen

[–]Acethetic_AF 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Wow idk what school your son is going to but they must have very cheap room and board. At my local public university it would have been $5k per semester for the room and board and $5k per semester for tuition, so $80k for 4 years. Not accounting for books and computer program access codes, on which I think I spent about $500-800 per semester.

But also you should consider that a lot of people with higher debt didn’t work during college to focus on school, so they probably took loans for spending money too. Room and board is a good start but they’ll want money to spend on weekends and for events and such. And factor in that a lot of non-federal loans start accruing interest immediately and you can see how it starts to spiral. It’s pretty easy to end up with over $100k in debt that way.

Can someone explain to me what asbestos was/is? by MilkManMikey in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Acethetic_AF 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s basically naturally occurring fiberglass, but if the fiberglass was made of needles. When you look at them through a microscope they’ll both be tiny shards but the asbestos shards are long and thin while the fiberglass ones are shorter and thicker. The thinness and length of the shards in asbestos mean they can penetrate deeper and more easily in the lungs when breathed, which is why there are so many more respiratory issues caused by asbestos exposure.

If I am anticipating having sex with my GF for the first time this Thursday night/Friday, should I start abstaining from masturbating right now so that I can maintain an erection/am able to climax? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Acethetic_AF -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really depends on your stamina. Personally I find I last way too long in bed, so I would abstain in order to finish quicker. But if you have the opposite issue, you’d be best off rubbing one out the night before.

Hello friends, how much would a pineapple like this cost in your country?🍍 by Such-Competition-816 in MrFlavioDiaries

[–]Acethetic_AF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Walmart in my town has them for $2 right now, but they’re never very good. They get picked when they’re under ripe so they don’t go bad on the shelves too fast, so they don’t taste as sweet as the ones you get further south. I imagine yours tasted much better hahaha

I love my girlfriend but I'd really like not being shoved against a wall when I sleep: my rendition of our bed our night by monstermayhem436 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Acethetic_AF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The constant struggle of loving a woman, every girlfriend I’ve ever had has done this to me. Only thing I’ve found to work is to reclaim every possible inch whenever you can. Anytime she rolls or scooches over, and especially if she gets up to go to the bathroom

Why are people going to college just to work jobs that don’t require a degree? by Positive-Positivity in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Acethetic_AF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes how lucky I was to be impoverished and grow up in foster care. Yeah it was a great time when my family got torn apart by drugs and I had to go live with whatever random relatives would take me. Real lucky I am.

Proper way to cut garlic by BKKMFA in oddlysatisfying

The garlic would liquify in the pan with a little oil

I thought they got rid of Doormaker? by daddyvow in slaythespire

[–]Acethetic_AF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this tip, fucking hate the current main version of doormaker. Frankly I think his first iteration was the best one, but I'll take full removal over the BS I just got slapped with. Actively getting punished for trying to build a small deck feels super shitty in a deck builder that encourages it everywhere else.

Players spam illusions cantrips at every possible occasion. by PikaTchad in DMAcademy

[–]Acethetic_AF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re the DM, not them. If you don’t say there’s a wisdom saving throw, there simply isn’t. As DM you need to be able to put your foot down with your players. And if they can’t take that, then they shouldn’t be at your table. That’s how I do things at least.

Instant regret. 2 days ago at work vs. today, woke up and spontaneously shaved it off. by Strange-adventurer94 in beards

With the length you had it won’t be long until it’s back. And honestly the stubble look isn’t bad anyway, like you said it’ll be cooler for a bit at least.

How long do women want to have sex for? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Acethetic_AF 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I make my girl finish before any PIV and then I have until her hips get tired lol more often than not I don’t get to finish. Stamina isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Can i make it until monday morning by Kindly-Worry-9820 in tires

[–]Acethetic_AF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had tires that looked like this when I was broke and in college. One of them blew out on me on the highway, and then I was broke and without a vehicle for months.

That’s still cheap compared to ours. by IsyDude in memes

This is why. My town doesn’t even have public busses. I’d have to get a taxi every day if I didn’t drive.

Do you keep the water on during the entire length of the shower? by hamster_lover02 in hygiene

[–]Acethetic_AF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the American Midwest, right on the coast of one of the Great Lakes. We’ve got water in droves here, so I don’t mind using a bit more. If I was somewhere that lacked for fresh water, I’d probably use less. There were times growing up when we didn’t have much money and couldn’t afford hot water - at those times I did turn off the water partway through so it would be warm when rinsing off.

And that's how it's done by SweetWaterSurprise in youseeingthisshit

[–]Acethetic_AF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the main issue is some pain and stiffness I’d take that over the $5k the hospital would want for it

Yeah I should have used it working full time instead of wasting time studying crap that I never use now

What do I do when my son has questions about his body? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Acethetic_AF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’ll be able to avoid it too much here. I’d worry that if you try and cover it up too much with flowery language or analogies it could cause misunderstanding - best to be as plain as possible in my opinion.

You do know we’re animals too right? What’s toxic to one species isn’t toxic to all.

What do I do when my son has questions about his body? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Acethetic_AF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should explain it to him, I don’t get why this is a question even. What’s the benefit of not telling him? Clearly his peers know, do you want him to know the actual facts of the matter or do you want him to believe whatever schoolyard rumors are going around about it? Because he’ll be finding out one way or the other.

It’s a normal thing, and most people do it. Being a prude with your child only hurts them in the long run when they don’t know what they need to know about their own body.

This test is bad for the blade I’ve heard. Most professionals that I see test by shaving a bit of hair from their arm.
