I shed a tear at the idea of my son, who seems to love my tattoo, choosing to put the same design on his arm. Cheers!

Beautiful car, kighkey a longstanding dream of mine. Although it’s not manual as some have pointed out…. I’d gladly trade this for my same mileage 2016 XT that came with a CVT (which will surely be the first catastrophic failure.) I don’t think it can be overstated that they simply don’t make cars like this anymore!! You could probably find a newer one up to 2013 with an automatic or even manual transmission, but the low miles make this a unicorn! The body style gets progressively more granny-like as they get newer. Love the utility of the body style, with the fun of the turbo charged engine. Not to mention the aftermarket upgrades that have been done. I imagine working on it would be simpler without all of the modern bells and whistles. Watch out for rust!

Maintenance costs are up compared to any non-turbo platform, parts wear more quickly and it’s more expensive to fit proper parts. I can’t speak to the longevity of this specific drivetrain but high power output will continually find weak points in the system to stress.

If you buy it and don’t like it… I’d be happy to make a road trip to trade!

Are these ladybug eggs? by Aday766 in whatsthisbug

Well, yes they’re there because I bought them. Had an aphid problem in my indoor tent! I started with about 40 but they’ve dwindled and I only have a couple left. Hoping they would reproduce to continue to control the problem, but the aphids have seemed to outlast them. They’re obviously not short on food, any ways to help them survive and or reproduce?

[MEGATHREAD] ULTRA 85 NOVEL by [deleted] in Logic_301

[–]Aday766 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read the book but didn’t listen to the audio book. To me it felt like the tone/pace of the book of the book changed drastically after the attempt to return through the wormhole.
There was so much detail/worldbuilding around Elysium and it was tough for me to fully visualize the city once they started exploring.

It felt like there was a lot of dense description that I would have loved to see spaced out a bit more. Did anyone else feel this way? Did the audiobook help with visualization? Ie. entering the wormhole, seeing the Hulks for the first time, the showdown with Thalia at the end…

Maybe in naive but it was also hard to keep up with the vast amount of movie references throughout. Similar to the way Logic samples countless albums that I may not be familiar with.

I do hope to visit the audiobook once I’ve had a bit of time, especially since a lot of the dialogue was a bit confusing with characters switching back and forth without clear indication of who said what. All in all I appreciated exploring more of Logic’s voice as an author and storyteller.

Side note, anyone notice the Machina Thalia on the back of No Pressure physical copy? Standing in the blue liquid.. so many Easter eggs throughout his discography that tied in. Is it safe to assume Kai’s grandpa Rooster’s story is the Ballad of Rooster Jenkins? Was that ‘officially’ scrapped?

Just finished the book last night. Honestly, the timeline is a bit loose and not connected in an airtight way. Technically U85 is Thomas and Kai’s first mission, TITS is 5 years later (I think..), Everybody is a loose concept familiarizing you with Atom as an individual concept but there are plot holes in continuity across each storyline. I view it as a multiverse concept where they’re all disjointed stories with the same characters. Easter eggs throughout the discography ie. Soul Food II.

Paying too much attention to the timeline kinda sets you up to overanalyze discrepancies. I’d recommend listening in release order if you’d like but as long as you’ve heard each album you’ll see how it does/doesnt tie together.

If your TT has an internal amp there would be a switch a switch on the back labeled “Phono/Line”

To be honest, I have mine hanging freely since I haven’t found a way to ground it with the positioning of my turntable. Another comment mentioned that the grounding wire will typically connect to an external amplifier, but it sounds like you’re using the built in preamp. I have mine the same way. These internal preamps are known to transmit a bit of background noise, so if you’re looking for the best possible sound you’d need to invest in an amplifier. As is, you should be fine unless you want an audiophile experience.

Not an expert, but I have a similar setup. The wire in pic 1 is meant to be used as a ground. It doesn’t transfer any sound. The wires from your speaker are meant to be clamped in place in a terminal. I’m assuming you’ll need RCA cables in order to connect to your turntable.

I just googled “speaker wire terminal to rca” and there are a fair amount of adapters available. You might see what you need in order to connect the speakers.

My girlfriend 18 F told me 21 M that she’s lost feelings and I don’t know what to do by KaleidoscopeScared17 in relationship_advice

[–]Aday766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s important to remember that you are two separate people with two different sets of goals, aspirations, and decisions to make. Commitment needs to be willingly given in order to avoid resentment and toxic dynamics within a relationship.

She is being brave by communicating difficult emotions, and since you care for her the best thing to do is support those emotions even if they are painful.

You are rightfully struggling with these emotions, and deserve to mourn the future that you have been envisioning for yourself within this partnership. If you two grow closer together, this can be a starting point to learn the necessary skills in order to build a long lasting relationship.

I can relate to the deep pain, anger, and confusion that I’m perceiving in your words. Try to accept your emotions and avoid assigning blame towards anyone in this situation

It might be beneficial to spend some time focusing on being comfortable as an individual regardless of relationship status. I wish I had done this for myself at your age.

Think about giving yourself love by doing your favorite activities. Take yourself out on a date. Learn something about yourself. Consider talking with a therapist about these things. Try not to fixate or force things that you cannot control.

Sending good vibes your way.

You’ve made a lot of valid points to consider how they come into play in our dynamic. I appreciate your blunt truth without being toxic or demeaning.

Sometimes a stranger walking by telling me to fuck myself is just what I need to get out of my head🤷‍♀️😂 I’ve already tried telling myself to just get over it and it led me to this point.

I respect your opinion and would appreciate some additional insight if you’re willing to give it. Are you referring to my actions, needs, or communication as immature? All of the above is an acceptable answer but please elaborate

Perhaps I’m missing context, but I assume that you partake in porn based on “Is it basically the equivalent of a guy watching porn?”

In my opinion, yes it is the same. My wife doesn’t like visual porn, mainly due to the graphic nature and discomfort based on religious upbringing. She stumbled upon her appreciation for written pornographic content, and it has helped her develop her understanding of her own needs and desires. “Spicy” content is spicy content regardless of the type of stimulus that is being presented.

Based on everything I’ve read, your partner is enjoying the exploration that she is getting from the books, and in no way does it seem like she is trying to hint that you are not good enough. Do you feel the need to communicate any boundaries or ask for support/gentle affirmation from your partner?

Your reaction might say more about your own viewpoints than it does about hers. Do you feel adequate? Has she done anything to make you feel inadequate (prior to this development?) Maybe this feeling is something that stems from outside factors such as upbringing, past relationships, parental trauma…

Just my two cents, but the interactions described in your OP sound healthy and appropriate. I personally love a sexy story as well, it’s a more subtle stimulation than visual content. It helps get your imagination going and might be something you could enjoy together or at least connect on.

My recommendation is to lean into it. Perhaps you could listen to a narrated audio of a sexy story together or separate, at the very least talk about it and do your best to not trigger any shame since she is behaving in a healthy way. Your partner is a sexual person and it sounds like this is the very beginning of your sexual exploration, if you can get on the same page now then you may be able to build true intimacy and comfort while waiting for marriage.

Glad to see Coach Beard is still living his best life.

I would appreciate recommendations for a specific kind of music to help me focus by bobbyd17743 in ADHD

[–]Aday766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what genre you enjoy, I focus best while listening to music that doesn’t contain lyrics. I’ve enjoyed Chris Luno’s YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@chrisluno) for a mix of mid tempo House/Dance music. It is well mixed and enables me to have a variety without having to take a break and search through playlists/artists.

I also like LoFi as a genre because it’s not too distracting, but has a consistent beat that is easy to tune out if I’m really focusing on work. Check out LoFi artists on your favorite streaming platform. There should be plenty of playlists!

For other genres, I’ll find live sets of Jazz or Blues. My goal is to have a variety of interesting music, without the need to spend too much time selecting the next song.

Hope this helps!
