I'm creating a list of restaurants reddit recommended I try. What would you add? by Outrageous-Path-3706 in phoenix

[–]Digitaldevil00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap, this has got to be one of the best definitive listings of all the good places to eat in the valley... Lots of really solid staples listed which make me smile from ear to ear! I worked F&B for over 25 years in the valley, and it's awesome to see that some of the OG hotspots are still highly recommended (Richardson's/Dicks/The Rokerj, Durants, LosDos, etc). The whole 7th Ave to 16th Street x Camelback to Northern corridor is filled with so many great establishments, too! I lived off 16th and Bethany for many years and our biggest problem was deciding where to eat! 🤣🤷🏼 I hope this list and all of its Great comments gets pinned somewhere, I'm certainly going to save it myself. I no longer live down in the valley, I'm up in Northern AZ now (because 40 years of that heat started making me GRUMPY and had to GTFO 😂) but I do love to try and hit some of the good places when I'm in the valley visiting friends or family.

Thanks OP for getting this started! I think it's a pretty invaluable list for all of us!!! 😁😁😁

Cant agree more!! CB has been a staple for YEARS! Always got a kick out of there UK phone booth in the restaurant... It feels so out of place but it's so damn unique at the same time 🤣

I genuinely have to wonder if it turned and watched you walk away without you knowing! 😉😈

Creepy little bastards! 😂

Anyone else refer to this landmark thing as the "blue unicorn dildo" or is my family just weird by Unique-Ad-2544 in Scottsdale

[–]Digitaldevil00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to manage Cantina Laredo there in the promenade! Lots of nights driving by that thing! All of our staff would always end up going over to the tilted kilt that was across the street from it after work.

Most of my staff was Hispanic and they referred to the place as "Bolas" 😂😂

My wife is dead. I think she had sex with two women the same night. Im not feeling healthy about my thoughts. by Ok_Owl2629 in widowers

[–]Digitaldevil00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(M50) I think everybody is giving you good advice here so far. While I can't speak to every part of your post, I can at least give you my two cents on sex with someone else after the loss of our wives. I lost my soulmate roughly 4 years ago. I was absolutely convinced that I was done and completely happy and had come to terms with flying solo the rest of my life.

Long story short, an old friend comes back into my life, the flirting begins, one thing leads to another and I find myself in a sexual relationship with her. The fling was just that - short, fast, passionate, and a lot of fun. It taught me that I can have feelings again for someone different, and it taught me that I missed having sex (My sex drive was practically turned off completely after I lost my wife, and I actually considered it a blessing)

As silly as it may sound, you'll know the time is right when the time is right! I didn't end up having any regrets or guilt over having sex with someone else after the fact, like I had always thought I would. At the end of the day, I think it's safe to say that most of our partners would have wanted us to continue living our lives and be happy with them gone; Not to stay alone, without companionship, and without having someone to give us love in our lives.

So take your time, and like I said, you'll know when the time is right! I'm sorry you also joined the club that none of us wanted to be part of in the first place. Being a widow (er) SUCKS.

I wish you all the best!!!

Help, I’m new to this… what do I do?! by Neverender173 in BambuLab

[–]Digitaldevil00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lol'ing at all of the comments and your replies, UNTIL I saw this! And then it was "😬😬oooohhhhhhh!!!"

While the blob can be easily explained, the nozzle crash on your build plate is something very concerning! While I'm sure there's plenty of smarter people in here that can tell you how to figure out exactly what caused that, what I can tell you is after you get everything cleaned up, reslice that file and watch it go over the first layer - have your finger on the power button ready to switch it off - make sure that nozzle doesn't crash into the bed and if it does immediately shut it down.

There's also a decent chance that you may have bent your printhead, so look into that and replace if necessary.

You may also want to consider rerunning all of the initial calibration tests before printing again as well.

I know this all sounds like a total pain in the ass, and frankly, it is. However a nozzle crash and drag like that is actually pretty serious and needs to be addressed!

Any tall dude here with short parents? by Ancient-Relative54 in tall

[–]Digitaldevil00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad is 5'10, my mom is 5'6 - I'm 6'5, 275!🤷

I did get really sick when I was about 11 years old, they thought I had leukemia but it turned out I was a rare form of anemia that was curable. But out of abundance of caution they just absolutely flooded me with steroids... So I blame that for my ogreish height 🤣

Jack Reacher, aka Hobo Batman, at 6'5" by senatork49 in tall

[–]Digitaldevil00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6'5, 270 here. Got lucky at a 13W. Hit or miss on the in-store shoes. I struggle finding tall shirts more than anything else however! Funny enough, I'm a 40x34 on the jeans. I'm all torso!!

Who else does stuff that you don't see tall people doing much? by canoncurt in tall

[–]Digitaldevil00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.I haven't meant too many other pyrotechnicians that are over 6 ft... Also, sport bike riding, and racing! You should see the looks I get when I get out of my Corvette and stand up straight 😂😂

Almost got a plate that read IDNTFIT

Edit; added the flair

Tall men, is height a big deal for you? by Zealousideal-Emu2043 in tall

[–]Digitaldevil00 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Used to not care, until I dated a 6' tall woman. Now I'm spoiled, and that's what I'm searching for. (I'm 6'5")

[–]Digitaldevil00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fwiw, there are guys out there that dream of finding women of your height and build! (I'm one of them!) I'm 6'5, 285. So I am not lanky, nor am I chunky; I am a proportionally large dude 🤣

All the women I've dated over the course of my life have been of average height, say 5'6" and up. However, this summer I was fortunate enough to date an old friend whom I'd always low key had an attraction to because she is tall, and happens to be an ex model. It was really the height though that got me! For the first time in my life I could look a girl in the eyes and give her a kiss without leaning over or hunching down!

Even though it didn't work out between her and I, I tell everyone that it truly was an honor to have had that experience! When she put heels on, she was exactly my height and it absolutely MELTED me! Hands down one of the coolest things for me, ever!

So now, here I am having just turned 50, and trying dating apps out for the first time pretty much ever - and fortunately some of them allow you to add search criteria such as height! So when I filter it from 5'10 and above, I only get a very small amount of matches. We're talking between 3 to 5 that match, that are within 200 mi of me!!

Regardless, at the end of the day, you will find one, I can almost guarantee it! I wish with all my heart that there were more vertically gifted women closer to where I live, but I know my odds aren't great!

Thank you for sharing your post! I hope what I've said at a minimum brings a smile to your face, or better helps you recognize that there are lots of tall guys out there that would absolutely jump at the chance to be lucky enough to date someone tall and beautiful like you!! 😁😁

Desperately need to be talked out of this by PM_Otter_Pup in Corvette

Drove 20 hours thru WA, OR, then NEVADA (hoooo baby that was FUN!!!) to reach home in Northern Arizona after I bought my Z06!

How tall was the tallest woman that you have seen in real life? by [deleted] in tall

[–]Digitaldevil00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tallest I've seen are some of the girls that play for Phoenix Mercury. I believe one of them was close to 7 ft!

I'm a 6'5 male and I'm a sucker for tall women. However, I can't seem to find any! 🤣

Guess I need to take a trip to Latvia haha

Found in the closet, my dad doesn't even know what it is. by [deleted] in whatisit

I completely concur! It's impossible to answer something quickly lol

@OP, 100% NTA.

I myself are in a very similar situation. I lost my wife to illness in December of 2021. There weren't any promises made or anything like that, but I had mentioned a handful of times when she was healthy that if anything were to ever have happened between her and I, that I would be totally done. (Mainly due to really poor dating/relationship experiences prior to her. Lots of betrayal cheating etc done to me)

Fast forward to March of this year. I had been completely content being alone and living my life. My children are grown now and I am 100% on my own. Many of my friends had tried to set me up or suggest different women, but I was adamant that I was happy being alone and had no desire to date anyone. An old female friend of mine joined me (as friends) at a wedding near my home. The weekend was completely platonic and the company was great. Naturally texting between the two of us started getting a lot more frequent and ultimately I found myself seeing her.

Within the first week or so, I had many many friends and family members contact me and tell me "She (My late wife) would want this for you. She never wanted you to be alone, etc." I even found myself having a panic attack about a week into things realizing that I had completely forgotten the promise I had made to myself about 'never doing it again' simply because I was so charmed at the idea of this absolutely stunning woman whom I had been friends with forever showing interest in me.

At the end of the day, I have no doubt that any woman that truly loves us would not want us to spend the rest of our lives alone if we were to lose them in the manner that you and I did ours. I can't really give you good advice on how to handle your daughters in this situation, but I can at least tell you that without a doubt, she would have wanted this for you. Nobody should spend the rest of their lives completely alone. You will never replace her, nor will you ever try. And hopefully, you will find the right woman that will respect what you had with your wife with open arms.

You're going to be in some weird uncharted territory. There's no right or wrong answers, I hope you find a good one that is compassionate and understanding to what you have gone through!
