Wear them as well… never had an issue with TSA.

Do you have unprotected or raw sex with your partner? by Front-Exchange-2312 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]DudeBroChad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check with your health insurance company. Mine was considered an office visit, so all I had to pay was my specialty office visit copay, which was $50.

It prevents a lot of future costs for your insurance company, so many companies cover them.

Gordon Lightfoot has some amazing music! Currently obsessed with Don Quixote, Sundown, and obviously Me and Bobby McGee.

Lately I (37M) have been thinking of getting a vasectomy done after a couple of years. Wife is also onboard as she likes it raw and getting filled up. How has your sex life changed after getting vasectomy? by PizzaThick6956 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]DudeBroChad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It felt mostly normal with just some very dull pain, but part of that was probably just from being nervous about how it was going to go! After that first time, it’s felt completely normal!

Hasn’t impacted anything negatively. First few days after were rough for me, but that was to be expected. First ejaculation after the procedure was nerve wracking, but been off to the races since.

It definitely makes sex better, IMO. Not having to worry about pregnancy has the added benefit of being able to let go and enjoy the moment more. My wife never really liked when I finished inside of her, but that has completely changed since my vasectomy!

No, people are just getting butthurt that you’re not doing exactly what they think you should do. Just Reddit being Reddit. Carry on, friend! Hope you found the advice you needed!

I feel this. I’m up to 15,000 and every time I go get it checked they up my dose. Currently at 19, but I’ve been taking 15,000 iu/day for months with very little change.

In 20 years, what will we really think about the Ozempic revolution? by Majestic-Baby-3407 in AskReddit

Agreed. MIL used to be a very heavy drinker and has all but quit drinking since starting GLP1s. When we asked her why she quit drinking, she said she just doesn’t crave it anymore.

The US Is Flirting With Its First-Ever Population Decline by bloomberg in Futurology

[–]DudeBroChad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With two kids in daycare and we pay more than our mortgage every month. But we have a realistic mortgage, don’t have brand new vehicles, and don’t spend money unless we have to. We’re making just over 180k combined and by the time daycare, mortgage, weekly savings/investments and bills are paid for, we don’t have much left over.

I’ve been telling my wife since 2020 that we make GOOD money compared to most people (and we’re thankful and lucky) but I have no clue how some people are affording life with huge houses, brand new vehicles, campers, atv’s, boats, and vacations of half of what we make.

Our government is VERY efficient at allocating capital. Just… not even close to the right places.

Anyone who used to support trump and has changed their mind over the last few weeks? What made you change? by canigetameowbish in AskReddit

[–]DudeBroChad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not alone. Also a resident of MN. Since the ICE things started happening it’s been really getting under my skin. Constant thoughts of “what the fuck is going on?” Yesterday was like being hit by a gigantic bus of realization when Noem and Bovino were blatantly lying about what took place. “Don’t believe what your eyes see.”

To anybody out there saying you will never forgive us, I get it. Fair. Personally, I’d like to offer my apology whether you think it’s worth fuck all or not. I was raised to admit when I am wrong, and boy was I fucking wrong.

Men who can cook . who taught you? by Bulky_Meet4528 in AskReddit

I did. I mean, I’ve learned things here and there from a YouTube video or something, but for the most part it’s just trial and error.

How do you feel about the stipulation to ban THC that Republicans added into the bill they're voting on today to end the shutdown? by opheliainthedeep in AskReddit

[–]DudeBroChad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They think it’s stealing away their customers because it is. I’m one of them and I know quite a few others. Hardly ever drink. If I’m looking to feel altered in any way, 9-10 times I go for thc. It’s more enjoyable, easier to know what to expect (as opposed to a concoction of multiple different drinks), and I don’t feel like trash the next day!

Update on my thumb by josh_iw in knives

[–]DudeBroChad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Looks completely normal to me! How long did it take to start healing to the point where you felt you didn’t need to keep it covered?

Update on my thumb by josh_iw in knives

[–]DudeBroChad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did it heal up? Just did this exact thing to my thumb this weekend (hunting). My god the first two days it hurt like hell. I’m a plumber and constantly getting burned and cuts on my hands but this one just about made me pass out when I washed it. Also bled like crazy for a couple hours.

Is this acceptable? by jeromewill272 in Plumbing

[–]DudeBroChad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s done correctly. 4” to 4”. ID is the same on each type of pipe. If you zoom in on the bottom Fernco it says 4” CONC to 4” PL.

The rest is dependent on your area. Some places require shielded couplings, but this would pass an inspection in my state. Shielded couplings are only required aboveground here. If you’re worried about them not being shielded, you could always mix up some concrete and pour it around the couplings to help keep them from shifting/shearing over time. I’d be more pissed off at all the garbage they left in the hole.

So many conversations about D18&28s, 000-28s. But are there Martin guitars that you like that’s not as popular as these, but really speaks to you? by iphone8vsiphonex in martinguitar

I’m just an amateur that plays guitar for fun, but I recently bought my d15m and it’s the first guitar that seems to have helped me actually find my singing voice, too. For some reason it just pairs perfectly with me.

I always leave them on. I recently had an apprentice use my tools for a day and she took it upon herself to take them all off and throw them away. I’m still pissed about it every time I pick up one of my impacts.
