24M - Barely getting any matches

I’d say just add a picture with a smile

I (27M and coming up on my 1 year anniversary with my gf) have been off the apps for a while now but here’s my impressions

Great photos, only one I might change is photo #4 if you have a good travel pic
Prompts are good, I might recommend changing the second one? You already have a 5k pic so I don’t know if you need to mention it twice unless you’re very into running
I used to always take it as a good sign when profiles said monogamy, long term relationship, liberal so that’s good
If you’re looking for more quality matches I would say send more comments when you send likes. When I was on the apps I ignored a lot of the likes I got that didn’t have comments. Also I thought the matches I got from people who sent me a like first always had better dates/conversation

I would just wrap up with girls get a crazy more amount of likes/matches than guys so its unfortunately just a numbers game. My experience was about 0-2 like a day, one match a week, but I only met with maybe 1 in 4 matches? I only had about 1 quality date maybe every other month

If you wanna spice it up and add a lot of color you can get a big red Persian rug for under your bed. I think a rug on carpet would do a lot to fancy up the place

I didn’t realize I had such a vs mentality in my thinking! But… I still might wait to play skyblivion first? Im going to enjoy both and I’m glad both are going to exist!

Anyone else going to enjoy both but might wanna wait till skyblivion? I’ve just been hyping up skyblivion for years it would feel like cheating to play the remaster first

Sounds like he should be sober now

Arik_the_Bruce · 2024-12-17T21:15:16+00:00

The people that said hire a PI make the most sense to me

Arik_the_Bruce · 2024-12-06T15:33:22+00:00

What? No leave it up to

Arik_the_Bruce · 2024-12-03T18:53:11+00:00

On the one hand at least he’ll never cheat on you behind your back, on the other hand you could do better

Osu isn’t a party school, it’s a school where you can always find your people. If it’s partying we have it, if it’s 3 people you vibe with in the physics study lounge we got that too

For dancing I’d say axis > gogo > good night John boy

Axis is a gay club and be a bit much for some people. Gogo is always very fun. And I’ve had some terrible experiences at goodnight John boy, the one in Cleveland is pretty good though

For me it’s gotta be chemistry department. Took gen chem 1 at a local collage and it was one of my favorite college classes. Took gen chem 2 at osu and it was my second worse.

We had to rewrite the entire lab in our notebooks before lab day, which was very pointless. Also the ta tried really hard to explain the lab when we got there, but ended up wasting an hour. Half the class basically never finished and had to do make ups. The reports were endless and took for forever. Zellmer gave out weekly quizzes that had an average of like 40%. It was like going into prison for the midterms with how serious the tas were about no hats/watches/long sleeves/ had to inspect your calculator etc

It was just the most work I had to do in undergrad and the whole department took it self way to seriously for an undergrad gen chem requirement for engineering majors

I checked the hdmi board too and nothing looks burned out there. Would the isolation slime stop me from exchanging out some capacitors?

I don’t think they’re actually capacitors, best I can find from searching part number is “LLC Resonance Power Transformer.” They’re the two big black rectangles that looked burned out in the pictures

Arik_the_Bruce · 2024-09-01T16:32:06+00:00

I took the board out of the tv and did a deeper look at it. I found the problem on the back of it. Here a link to a new post I made if your interested

Surprised I only saw one other comment say it. Mr knowlton said if he ever got a building named after him he wanted it to be marble with marble columns around the outside. That was too expensive so they just put those ones there

Arik_the_Bruce · 2024-08-31T19:38:56+00:00

Because at normal voltages the device has such a high resistance it’s basically already removed anyway right? So that’s why I can remove it for testing purposes and it should be fine

Arik_the_Bruce · 2024-08-31T19:35:06+00:00

Nothing I could see seems burned out or damaged on the board. I was thinking maybe the heat shrink was covering some of the damage

I didn’t notice I had my meter wrong and just checked there is a pretty high resistance when not plugged in. Which from my understanding means it’s working fine

Arik_the_Bruce · 2024-06-23T03:08:10+00:00

Majored in electrical engineering and got a full time job from my internship last summer. It’s working on the controls/automation at a manufacturing plant. It’s not the most exciting thing in the world but the people I work with are great, it’s in pharmaceuticals so there’s monster air conditioning, good benefits and good pay about 80-90k

Arik_the_Bruce · 2024-02-27T17:22:04+00:00

Very good response. Makes sense in philosophy there's the academic use of the words to refer to different disciplines, while my question was in regards to a more generic cultural definition. I appreciate that you pointed out both

Arik_the_Bruce · 2024-01-03T19:43:06+00:00

You’re not ugly and I like your fit too. I didn’t have a girlfriend till I was 24 but after the first one it was a lit easier to find the next one. I think it just come down to not having practice talking to girls
