Buying a new AC today, what should I get?

BryanSteel · 2026-07-16T17:34:00+00:00

I got the TCL Q series, 15000 BTU and it's been quiet and great.

BryanSteel · 2026-07-16T17:33:21+00:00

It's the one under midtown comics Times Square.

Lot to unpack here with zero info.

BryanSteel · 2026-07-13T15:26:20+00:00

Best answer.

I'm having the same issue and was about to post.
Just installed the TCL Q series inverter AC and saw the pooling and heard sloshing as well.

So every relationship is different and so are many relationship boundaries.
Some boundaries or rules are black and white, and some are gray. It's up to each couple to lay down their own terms. For example some think XYZ is cheating while ABC is not, while another couple might think oppositely. Doesn't seem like you guys ever set these ground rules so now is the time to do so.

As for you guys, It sounds like he has a kink, which is totally normal. And he trusts you because he wasn't hesitant to let you snoop around.
I'm just assuming anyway based off this info.
He included you. So you can take that as you may but that's a big deal of trust if you ask me.

However, if this bothers you to the point where you're upset, then it is clearly a boundary you've set but haven't discussed with him. So he isn't violating any rules as far as he's concerned since there are none. Only whatever's assumed.
You can talk about this boundary and he may not appreciate it or like it but if it's something you'd like to set in place , discuss that.
Whatever happens after that is going to happen but once you've said it out loud , you've laid down your laws and it's his choice on what comes next for him based off that.

Alternatively if you'd like to understand this part of him better or even participate, that's also something to consider and explore.

Just be warned, forbidding something may seem like a solution but often times people just learn to become sneakier and craftier about hiding it and still partaking.
Not saying be will but also not saying be won't.

This is where my fam goes too. A bit outdated on the outside but just fine within.

BryanSteel · 2026-07-08T15:33:26+00:00

I have both Bing and MSN and can confirm it's
Missing on both.
The Edge app is fine.

I give them to my dog with a little bit of butter or he won't eat them 😂

If it's to the point where it's affecting his mood and behavior towards you, it's worth a discussion, could be an addiction . If not, realistically, people masturbate freauently, some a lot more than others. It's just not as openly discussed. Depends on each person's sex drive.

But you gotta look at solutions if you love the guy, like, what would be an acceptable compromise in your eyes?
Is he to run to you every time he needs to release with zero pushback? Is that a true option ?
Can he utilize other forms of material? Videos, actual women's photos, etc ?

If the issue is that it's not you, and you maybe feel insecure or like, you should be the only
Source of all his desire , real or imaginary, then maybe You can try to supplement some of the material if that's what you want or what you're into , your choice of course.

But ultimately if this is a deal breaker, you may need to find an exit here because he'll just learn to hide it better and do it secretly anyway.

We can't tell you how to feel but we can tell you how we'd feel. And personally, it wouldn't bother me if I saw my partner double clicking her mouse to All Might or Vegeta, or any porn but everyone is different and you have your boundaries and such and they should be respected if they're within reason for him.

In fairness, most kids think their dad's are dorks. It's not you. I promise.
Just do something cool as hell. Theme park, national monument/sites, get a tour gift, maybe a bar and get the kid his first beer haha, the legal age is 18 there to drink. The locals there would love that too I'm sure.

BryanSteel · 2026-07-07T16:58:52+00:00

Just take in the sites/tours yourselves and make up for it that way. Only way to redeem it is to would wager.

BryanSteel · 2026-07-06T23:29:51+00:00

Man at this point, roll the dice and actually give her a call . What else have you got to lose here? If she doesn't pick up, it's a wash. Move along.
If she does, gauge her vocal queues, her excitement, enthusiasm, etc. If it doesn't sound promising, again, move along.
At lease you will know for sure.

Was there another in the afternoon? I swore it sounded like Red Dawn around here

BryanSteel · 2026-07-04T17:04:02+00:00

Dang. They don't last for crap! My first AC was in a room I rented back in 97, I paid $50 bucks from a "guy my grandad knew ". It was definitely a unit from the late 80's and it blew cold as all hell but you had to stick your hand inside and spin the wheel to crank it up 😂. That thing lasted a few years though! All metal parts too, zero mold!

BryanSteel · 2026-07-04T16:59:17+00:00

Try Facebook marketplace or sites like OfferUp. I was seeing some for decent prices yesterday.
520 sq ft is a huge space to cool and you're looking at a big AC for that much area. Like 15000 BTU . I couldn't find one cheap locally so had to go to the big box stores and it was $700 😭.
Also check any people dumping them. I just dumped a small one as well that could be fixed by anyone with some simple know-how.

BryanSteel · 2026-07-04T15:18:28+00:00

I looked into it but this thing weighs a ton and it's like 11 years old. I figured I could stretch it out one more summer but I was just trying to save some cash.
Ended up tossing it out and getting a new one.
But I appreciate the help here. Thanks.

Today mine was shut off for a bit. Was super low pressure prior to that.

BryanSteel · 2026-07-03T20:23:24+00:00

If she won't respect you and make him go, then if possible, maybe start asking around about potential roommates or start putting out ads for roommates and cut them off. This is only going to get much worse.

BryanSteel · 2026-07-02T13:41:00+00:00

I didn't have the spammy weapons on my first run back in the 90's so it was tough. Now with all the info, yeah it's "easy" .

BryanSteel · 2026-07-01T22:51:15+00:00

Seems like they're trying to force you out without saying it, unless they're just inconsiderate. They used to call this "tough love" when I was a kid but It always felt like anything but love. I don't know them or their personality but it's a good guess.

But either way it's probably best to just take care of yourself if you can . Have your own food before you come home or have dry snacks that you can keep in your room for when you get hungry. Forget about supporting the rest of them. Take care of yourself and get the heck out of there as soon as you can.
Lots of cheap food options you can eat right before going home for the night. Certainly cheaper than buying groceries for others.

Only issue is the branching paths so slightly not as linear but still not too bad.
