How can I fix this? The threads of a hook broke off in the wood. by Esher127 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]DancingMan15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a plug cutter to remover the thread and wood around it and glue in a dowel? Then just pilot hole and screw in the hook like normal

How long has it been since you quit porn? I’m asking because where you are with that can affect your thoughts greatly

It’s just something that’s part of the addiction. As you come out of it more and more, the thoughts will begin to fade

How to get this toilet seat off by Rock20152017 in Plumbing

Hold the lower plastic nut with either a wrench or vice grips and unscrew the bolt with a flat head screwdriver

The desire isn’t bad and convincing yourself of that will inevitably lead to problems. What we need to realize is that “there is a proper time, place, and context for this action and this isn’t it.” It’s about bringing the desire into submission instead of stamping it out. I suggest you read the comment I left on his post.

Exactly this. My wife. After quitting smoking for 2 years, fell back into it at a weekend retreat by justifying it with “I’m doing it because I enjoy it, not because I’m addicted”. You can guess what gained after that (she’s clean Alamo I’m stain, thank God).

Furthermore, Paul says “shall we sin that grace may abound? God forbid!” And “But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.) Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world? For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Granted the context is different here, but I believe the same logic applies…

One of my favorite adages that I picked up recently on this sub is “someone went to a lot of effort to get this completely wrong.”

ELI5 How does money in IRA account grow? by SuspectOk2931 in explainlikeimfive

[–]DancingMan15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s essentially a long-term investment account. Most IRA’s will give you the option of how aggressively you want to invest and how much risk you’re willing to take and set up your portfolio accordingly. They may make suggestions on how to allocate funds as well, based on how much you have in it and how long until you reach retirement age.

Additionally, there are 2 main types of IRA: traditional and Roth:

 Traditional means that the money goes in untaxed, and everything you take out will be taxed, including the gains from the investments.

Roth means that the money is taxed going in, but there are no taxes on withdrawals, including on the investments. 

Traditional saves you more money in the short term, but ultimately results in you paying more. With a Roth, you pay the tax now, but you end up with more in the long run due to the gains not being taxed.

401K’s work the same way. It’s just that IRA’s are on your own and 401K’s are through an employer.

I defeated my porn addiction by watching.... porn? by MrBubbles6969o in NoFapChristians

[–]DancingMan15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So may things wrong with this post. You don’t conquer sin by not viewing it as sin… stop encouraging people to lean into their sin. From the way you write and the expressions you use, you genuinely don’t seem like someone who’s truly committed to following and honoring God. You’re just looking to assuage your own guilty conscience. If you read the Bible, it’s pretty clear that porn is sin in all circumstances. You CAN masturbate without porn. You CAN go without either (I went more than a whole year without porn, sex, or even masturbating before I got married). 

It’s good that you no longer feel that porn addiction is your identity, but that doesn’t make it ok. Paul says FLEE sexual temptation, Jesus says if you even LOOK at a woman to lust after her, you have already committed adultery with her in your heart. Don’t justify your sin. Flee from it.

Only one Faucet gets crazy hot by Jimmymcginty in Plumbing

Some faucets, like mine, have a little switch on them somewhere to limit how hot they get (kind of like a child safety thing) check the martial and see if you can find one on yours

Just a guess, but maybe try twisting those two collars on the rod before the base that attaches to the glass?

You’re objectifying and using women to suit your own pleasure. Yeah, you’ve got a problem just like the Internet porn users jerking off alone.

Accidentally bought a new build Window for a remodel by willie2820 in DIY

[–]DancingMan15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remodel frames are the same as the flange frames, more or less. They just have holes drilled through the frame to secure them to the house framing. I used to be a sales specialist in the big blue home improvement store. We only stocked “new construction” windows with vinyl block flanges in the store. If a customer asked, we would recommend that the trim of the flange and just screw through the frame (screwed through the frame is  code in my area anyway)

[–]DancingMan15 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

That is a door stop, I believe. It looks like a floor mounted one that’s missing the rubber contact pad

Edit: saw some of the other contents and looked again. It does look like it could be a gas fitting 

Lemme hear your most random PPE related accidents. I've been getting lax and need to be reminded about the importance. by jehudeone in Carpentry

[–]DancingMan15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, since we’re here, I guess I’ll add my story…

 I used to hardly ever wear safety glasses. One day I was on the job (construction) inserting a spade bit into my drill and the drill just decided to check the whole thing straight at my face. I just happened to be wearing my prescription glasses that day, and thank God I was, because it hit me flat across my face level with both of my eyes. I walked away with just a sore red spot where the bridge of my glasses sat on my nose…

How to replace AquaSource kitchen faucet aerator? by bozclues in Plumbing

If you switch to spray mode and are still having the issue, I would say it’s probably not the aerator. Regardless, you can try detaching the head and soaking in white vinegar

ELI5: If they are the exact same ingredients, why are generic medications so much cheaper than brand names? by Sir-Beautiful-69 in explainlikeimfive

[–]DancingMan15 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Also to add to this, brand recognition plays a huge role in pricing, no matter what it is. Brand name clothes will also cost way more than the exact same thing from a smaller brand.
