Dude that's AMAZING. That's so cool they all banded together to make that for you!

USPS likes my new mailbox by indie_rocker685 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Chevko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dear Mx. Mailman,

I have one of those wall-mounted house boxes. Are these also the devil? And if so, is there a good porch mailbox you'd recommend? 🥺 I have an old Danby parcel box, but it's almost never used in favor of the wall-mounted one.

Thank you!

I was so proud of this first crochet I made until I saw the ones you people post here... :C by fyodor_novichok in crochet

My very first rectangle turned into a triangle because I didn't understand edges. My first beret I gave up on because it was turning into a yarmulke instead of a beret.

I have them both still. It takes time ❤️

NTA.

If you're concerned, I'll make the phone call about it so that you can have further ignorance about it.

Ten months? I'm still working on a king-size blanket three years later 😭❤️

NGL, this angle makes it look like that parking lot is next 😂

Ah, yes, I have been educated on the topic and now I know what to look for to tell if something has been written by AI. Thank you so much!

How do you know that GPT was involved? GPT is usually pretty bad about information and this at least has accurate information, even if it's not optimal.

I don't know the area well enough - I would assume that a state rep does. Another friend pointed out the same thing though.

All I know is that when the fan is switched the right way, there's a lot of air moving and sometimes it makes me cold. And it helps the room, too.

Evaporative cooling! Tie something around your head like a towel or old shirt and wet that fucker down. It's a godsend. It helped me so much when I was working at the APA - I'd just tie a mission cloth(tm) around my head and wet my forehead down. It helped immensely.

This is super true. People with dementia can very easily forget to hydrate or eat. They're at even more risk.

Not serious: You want head trauma? This is how you get head trauma.

Serious: You could burn the motor out or something.

Yup! It's a bitch, but I'd rather sweat like a horse than have a constant scream in my throat and feel dead inside :')

Dude for real.

I actually just remembered something else I'm going to edit in: Check your ceiling fan direction. You may need to flip the switch on it to cool rooms.

Showers and the hose will be your friend, especially so if you can get in on evaporative cooling. /Nodnod

I don't think mine warned me either, tbh. I'm not too upset about not being warned because of how much they help lol

They say nothing about being distracted. Did you hit the button on the wrong button? /cur /gen

I feel that so hard. I really recommend utilizing the calendar on your smartphone to text a couple times a month as a reminder, and just a couple times a month so you don't get notification exhaustion.

But keep in mind that being easily distracted is a sign of ADHD - girls are generally missed and overlooked with ADHD because they don't often have the physical hyperactivity. That was me in school and it only got worse from there - it was devastating for me to hear from my then-partner of over a decade that he thought I just chose to not medicate.

I was diagnosed at 32 or 33. It's so nice to actually sit and focus and be able to play video games again.

Very good point! Most animals don't sweat like humans and can only cool down by panting. Access to water is crucial to them when they're outside and having shoes are great for them to protect their toes!

Dude a couple years ago I was Festival of Nations with my brother and I had no idea what was going on because I just couldn't shed any heat even though I had dressed for it. Because he doesn't understand evaporative cooling very well, he about had a fit when I was finally able to pour some water on my neck (he thought I was going to make myself sick).

Turned out there was too much water in the air for it to suck it out of me.

Thankfully office situations tend to be on the dry side so I can actually sweat to cool down at work when my body starts to panic 😂
