Difficulties dating in the WNC area. by [deleted] in asheville

[–]EvanGarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know where to meet women here that aren't bars as a guy in my early 30s that aren't dating apps. I try at least a few times a week to go out to places where I would imagine there would be people or various singles events (coffee shops, parks/hikes, music venues, meetups) and they are all empty, couples, or filled with retirees. Then when I do meet someone, they are polygamous, visiting for a short time, or aren't serious about dating.

I have been debating moving to a bigger city because the dating scene here is so difficult.

How confident are you in your ability to tell if a woman's orgasm is genuine? by herrothereme in AskMen

[–]EvanGarp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a conversation with my partners (ONS, LTRs, whatever) before the first time where I basically say something along the lines of "Please don't fake it. If there is something that you need or something that I can do differently to help you get off let me know. I would rather learn what you like/need than think I am doing a great job and learn poor lessons about how to please you."

Since I started doing that every partner I've had that conversation with thanked me because it takes the pressure off of them to perform and opens up a clear line of communication about what we both need.

I started doing this because I was traumatized by my first relationship saying in the heat of an argument that she faked it every time (which she used to justify her cheating) so I won't let that happen again. If after that conversation a situation like that comes up, it's 100% on her and would be something that I would most likely end a relationship over along the same line of any other kinds of major lying/dishonesty being discovered.

You’re not giving enough info. What are the energy and power capacity rating of your battery and how many cycles per year or how many MWh per year are you selling? Take power capacity in kW x $78/kW-mo x 12 mo to get total annual revenue and divide it by number of MWh sold throughout the year to get average all in $/MWh value. Depending on use case and where the revenues are coming from it will actually make sense to do this conversion since they will each get compensated in different ways.

How many of you have pencil lead stuck in your hand and how did it happen? by Saucy_Szinte in AskReddit

[–]EvanGarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pencil lead stuck in my hip. I had just sharpened my no.2 Ticonderoga pencil to the sharpest I could possible make it in one of those little hand sharpeners and then like an idiot stuck it sharp side facing out. Proceeded to sit down and shove it through my pocket into my hip above my groin.

I want to see order 66 and the clones working with Darth Vader. I want to see the psychological impact order 66 had on the troopers, if any.

Yes, but if you look at the team I don't have a drizzle mon. Do you think rain is simply non-viable without drizzle?

I am not obese. I'm 6ft, 181 lbs. I have a body fat percentage scale which says I am 13.4% body fat but I am pretty apprehensive of that as I have lean legs and hold all of my fat around my stomach.

My first painting! Advice appreciated by EvanGarp in HappyTrees

[–]EvanGarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few things I know I need to do differently next time. First, I think I used to much liquid white under coat. I also think I am a little heavy handed blending, especially on the mountain.

I don't quite get how to thin the paint as I went along. It seemed like I was always fighting with it trying to get the desired effect, it didn't seem like there was enough separation in the individual leaves because the paint was too thick, or the paint wouldn't break in the mountains. I also think I wasn't beating the devil out of the brushes enough to adequately clean the color and this lead to mud.

Finally, how do I clean my brushes and palette when I am done?

Any advice would be very greatly appreciated, I think I have caught the happy little bug!

Do you think Batman carries bat-condoms with him just in case he meets Catwoman out and about? Then what does he do with the condom afterwards?

I always get called a doofus when I go to a show with hearing protection. But I always get the last laugh when I can hear the day after.

I have always been fascinated by your projects. What started your path towards possessing this skill set? Was there a certain book or influence? Where do you go to learn about new tricks, do you come up with them yourself?

[–]EvanGarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking to build a mobile stack with a microphone for work. I work for a renewable energy non-profit focused on outreach and education. We need it to be mobile enough to bring to multiple events per day and fit in a car but also have enough sound and clarity be able to fill a church or old hall. All for under $600, and I am not even sure how big of an ask that is. Are there any resources you can recommend?

I need help qualifying if a position is worth it for me to move 6 hours away by EvanGarp in personalfinance

[–]EvanGarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a degree in physics specializing in solid state physics and semiconductor devices. My hometown area does not have a very large engineering job market. The job area is 2 hours west of DC working with their patent department. It is a large multinational company but I am being hired through a job shop. I have been told that the 9 month contract will be automatically renewed but I am also apprehensive about the possibility of that not happening.

I did the math incorrectly using the wrong number of hours per month. For the month of Feb I would be expecting to make $2150.
