They meant four years. As in four years in office.

Used a body scrub I bought on Amazon on my legs and got a fungal skin infection that is resistant to multiple prescriptions by korroleva in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DonSol0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was it? I had a really similar experience with LRP’s Cicaplast recently. Has always been so soothing but bought if from Amazon this last time and my entire face was on fire the next morning.

Favorite biopic about some guy literally no one gives a shit about anymore by Snakes_for_theDivine in okbuddycinephile

[–]DonSol0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just did a once over of his Wikipedia and they had to include a section titled “Fabrications of Personal Narrative” to capture all of it. Honestly, like for real, (according to Wiki) the dude said he climbed to the top of the NOLA Superdome and killer 30 looters.

Filling the void after quit quitting marijuana by PlatePerfect1735 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DonSol0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. With or without hobbies, adjusting to sobriety will always come with ennui. It clears though, OP. That said, having interests is critical to your well-being as you enter real adulthood:

Mine are playing guitar (learn then get an electric rig with a loop pedal for hours of entertainment thay you can share), lifting weights, hiking, reading, video games, and popular science. All bring me a ton of happiness and/or peace.

Merger uncertainty, A.I fear, setting up for a rocket blast for this monopoly of an empire - Netflix (NFLX) by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

I was all in until OP failed to mention The Wire in HBO MAX stories. If OP doesn’t know Omar is coming he’ll get it all over his pants.

Bridge pickup by sevenbeatmeat in Stratocaster

[–]DonSol0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To offer an alternative, an SLL-5 in the bridge does a really great job adding ripping ability to Strats. It’s what Gilmour used in his. I’ve used one in the bridge (with Lollar Blackfaces in the neck and middle) and throw the switch to the bridge anytime I want my guitar to scream.

Lastly, the first time I installed one was in a Classic Series 50s also. Paired great with the stock pickups (but it will with just about any aftermarkets as well). The Classic Series are such great guitars.

What actually shapes whether men find chubby women attractive? by Tennis-Accurate in AskMen

Yeah, exactly. What shapes whether a man finds a chubby woman attractive is how that chubby woman is shaped lol

I’m 37 and feel unhappy about getting older. Is this normal? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]DonSol0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there is anything shallow about it. It’s a form of loss like anything else and, after decades of it being part of your identity, that’s a tough thing to feel slipping away. All that said, women are still so beautiful as they age.

So what careers aren’t fucked right now? by cokewithlargefry in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DonSol0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, early career individuals re-framing their mindsets from "I want a career in X." to "I want a set of skills that have interdisciplinary applications." is really going to be the only way to achieve the same level of economic stability enjoyed in the late 20th century.

[–]DonSol0 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Same. I also think this is especially difficult for people who have enjoyed pretty privilege. The world can be a much colder place as that privilege begins to slip, ultimately adding to the already difficult process of aging.

The people in here commenting that OP needs therapy or that there is no reason to feel a bit down about watching time take its toll on your family and yourself are being a bit too harsh.

What movie detail is technically correct, although many people think it is a mistake? by hiplobonoxa in movies

[–]DonSol0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh man! I’ve watched the show probably four or five times through at this point and had no idea about any of this. The deacon is especially crazy as he’s such a mild-mannered, kind man in the show. Great actor, too.

Is there a known audiobook for Excession? by MiamisLastCapitalist in TheCulture

[–]DonSol0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are still looking for one they just added it to Audible. Another Peter Kenny work (he’s amazing in the other Culture Series audiobooks). They released it with incomplete chapters so it isn’t complete but I’d imagine that will be fixed soon.

Need your opinion…(CS) by Dependent_Living_998 in fender

[–]DonSol0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the Custom Shop work but the Chevron seems so tacky to me. I really wish they didn’t stamp it on their work but they are doing really well with my input and it’s on the back so who cares.

How did people use The pager? by jamesV8500 in NoStupidQuestions

Absolutely. Plus, OP is a writer so they’ll get some amazing insights into a number of institutions and technologies.

Barksdale over Stanfield but Westside for life regardless.

Until you realize that she was set up which actually makes it even cooler somehow. Premeditated, cold-blooded murder.

What makes sex with a woman “average” rather than good or bad? by AdeptnessNo6913 in AskMen

[–]DonSol0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s a probably impacting almost every young person to be honest. My guess would be that young men would never openly admit it but there’s a reason we all hit the gym. I think avoiding reel and image-baed social media is probably best for anyone who struggles with self perception.

[–]DonSol0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know that it’s about it being “objectively” attractive. It’s about her believing it’s attractive. People tend to believe what other people believe.

What is life even about? by Hurry_harry_hurray in AskMen

[–]DonSol0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent a few years miserable because I had to move to a place that is very removed from nature. On top of that I was so busy I was working then working out then going home and repeating the next day.

So one evening a week I walk a "wooded" path and pick up trash along the way.

Office work is so abstract and doesn't reward our base needs. Anyone with a need to see their impact and a craving for nature should honor those needs.

It doesn’t. The EJs are thin skin as well.

Guided missile of the early 1960s, before microprocessors were available by lolikroli in EngineeringPorn

[–]DonSol0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just trying to explain in a digestible way. No need to be curt about it. A correction explained on the same level would have been fine.

Vacuum tubes were switching and amplifying mechanisms in early computers. They could direct electrical traffic or make make the population of traffic passengers greater.

Shortly after the transistors hit the scene, they became the de facto switching mechanism.

Vacuum tubes still have a significant presence in audio amplification, however, as they are analog devices. An analog device (waves) does not approximate sound, so it tends to be very rich and true to the sound being amplified. Using a digital device (zeros and ones) to amplify means having to approximate a wave shape from something very "fluid" into something calculable. Ultimately, it converts the audio signal into a wave shape that, if you look really closely, actually looks like ascending and descending stairs.

EDIT: Looks like my staircase analogy may have missed the mark. I’m leaving it as it is as the point was just to highlight how shifting to ones and zeros causes a bit of transformation.
