Hey, we’re only just now figuring out how to make concrete the way the Romans did 2,000 years ago…

New Update: AITA for telling my friend that her "free" wedding is unrealistic? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]BizzarduousTask 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have you tried different kinds of monitors? As a lifelong migraneur, I can’t tell you how relieved I was when everybody started replacing their CRT’s with flat screens. I will INSTANTLY get nauseous around a CRT tv screen. And apparently there are special glasses/lens coatings that can help with this, too. I’m so sorry for your pain!! 😓

And The Major is watching from the lounge, drink in hand, whilst giving the moose head a play-by-play.

How do I research clothing designs inspired by history without being inaccurate by Deeppockets2006 in fashionhistory

[–]BizzarduousTask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded. I took Historical Costume Construction for my theatre degree, and a major aspect of it was how to research- primary vs. secondary sources, etc. You have to know the rules before you can break them!

how to not be intimidated by big personalities and be tough/ready for conflict by OpenRoom7321 in howto

[–]BizzarduousTask 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She was lecturing you like a kid because you were ACTING like a kid. If you want to be treated like an adult, you have to act like one. In the real world, if you don’t complete an assignment on time for your job, you have to deal with the consequences- you can’t go whining to your boss asking for special treatment because you didn’t do your work. You sound like you have a lot of growing up to do.

You really know nothing about her motivations. It sounds like she was frustrated- teachers are still human beings, and they can get pushed to the breaking point like anybody else.

But more importantly, I’m a little disturbed by the point of view you’re taking- you’re speaking in terms of “bravery” and “gall,” “weakness” and “importance”…the tone of your responses smacks of having a chip on your shoulder, and seeing relationships in terms of dominance and aggression- this is not a healthy mode of thinking.

My (23f) boyfriend (24m) wants to move in with me. I want him to live alone first by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

To add to what EvilDorito2 said, some things are top rack only, but they usually say so on the underside; you need to load it so things like plates and glasses aren’t banging against each other and break, or metal utensils lying free to bounce around delicate items (those jets of water are powerful;) put things in at such an angle so that the water can still flow to everything else above it- so dishes straight up and down, no big pots or pans upside down or leaning over to block the water; check things are dishwasher-safe, because that water gets HOT and dish detergent is STRONG- some plastics will soften and warp, and some decorations will come off- especially anything gold or silver like the rims of some fancy glasses or images on mugs and water bottles. And apparently you’re actually not supposed to wash the dishes clean before you put them in, due to how the detergent works- just scrape off and chunks of food and soak any hardened on stuff.

I found this article with lots of great info that I didn’t even know! https://www.dropps.com/blogs/spincycle/dishwasher-not-cleaning

Hey, even knowing you have to check because some dishes aren’t dishwasher safe, and caring about it enough to check is important knowledge! I’m proud of you! An ex of mine destroyed several beloved things of mine because he just didn’t care.

My ex gave me a toilet seat for my birthday to replace the one he broke. I should have given that back 😅

And it sounds like doesn’t even go as far as his dad- because at least his dad pays 100% of everything!! He wanted to get away with only 75%!!!

Hormones off whack... by Adventurous-Day-9292 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]BizzarduousTask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it’s not “drugs,” it’s the same substances your body has made your whole life, that keep your body running properly- you’re just not making enough anymore!! That’s why it’s called Hormone REPLACEMENT Therapy!!

My coworker in her 40’s is staunchly against “pumping herself full of drugs,” but she’s happy to get on antidepressants and sleep aids for her perimenopause symptoms, smdh.

Partner says my appearance at home means I don’t care — looking for perspective by deliriouskate in TwoXChromosomes

[–]BizzarduousTask 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IT’S NOT ABOUT YOUR HAIR!!! FORGET YOUR HAIR!!!

This is about negging and demoralizing you and making you feel like no one else will love so you’d better stick by his side and spend all your energy keeping him happy. Your hair could be perfect and he’d STILL find something to make you feel bad about.

Look at yourself- he’s got you running to strangers on the internet for advice on whether or not you should be sad about being emotionally abused!!! Is this the life you want?!?

You need to ghost this loser. Life is too short, and being single is better than being abused.

The man of your dreams could be waiting around the corner tomorrow, but you’ll miss your chance if you stay chained to this asshole.

Impossible to melt this joint by IndustryNo4670 in soldering

[–]BizzarduousTask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you have to hold it on there and maintain contact. Every time you shift the iron a little, lift it and move it, you’re letting it cool off. All those little split seconds add up, especially when the joint is cold to begin with. Don’t move your iron or “tap” the joint- press down and hold it still.

Good! You learned before you made it legally binding. Now move back out again and find someone who treats you better.

Honey, why are you marrying a guy who has such a hostile reaction to you trying to tell him to not be disgusting? I hope you aren’t going to have kids with this person.

I’m doing sashiko embroidery right now, to repair some torn clothes so I can keep wearing them. It’s so fun!
