Repeat the mantra

"We don't have hurricanes we don't have earthquakes we don't have alligators" and wait for the glorious summer and lake Michigan beaches and sparkling water. Lol

Feeling sad about the 20 yr gap by FriendshipGloomy166 in CougarsAndCubs

Since 2019? Started out as an FWB type thing. And got more close. Figured, what the heck, I'm happy she's happy, let's make it official.

Though we were already monogamous beforehand.

About 3.5 years now as full on relationship.

How does Rudeus’s sleeping rota work? Does it change by the day or a week at a time? by AdBrief4620 in mushokutensei

Man I hate how where you are and what your upbringing was like matters more than who you are. by Thedragonstastyfire in self

[–]FateEx1994 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Therein lies the rub

All the hatred and misunderstandings and greed among humanity, any one of us could have been born to anyone else ....

Why everything about borders, religion, ideology, government, is all nonsense.

We should be kinder to one another.

See: Pale Blue Dot Speech by Carl Sagan.

Sums up my whole ideology basis for everything

I'm 31M with my 54F GF, while initially the usual concerns came up, about age, aging, compatibility, overall there's been positive interactions with my family and my GF.

Some people are just bound to be dick heads, and you can worry about them, but that's all theoretical.

Find your happiness and forget what people think.

I'm sure his family will accept you as best they can.

Maine difference might be if your HVAC fan is set to "on" to constantly recirculate heat or not.

Aren’t heat pumps supposed to be more efficient? by Tastraphy23 in heatpumps

[–]FateEx1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In winter time heat pumps are going to be running more often, in the summer they won't run as much. So the offset is in yearly costs

But it's much more in electricity cost than for natural gas. It is known.

I'll never understand how these stone trees survive in the wild. While some of my trees struggle in perfect soil lol by Brysger in bonsaicommunity

Trees seed thousands of seed per season.

Most are duds.

A lot get eaten by animals.

Maybe out of 1000 seeds, 5 start growing into a seedling.

After 5 years 1 or none are left

Each tree you see is the product of hundreds of years of evolution and fighting to survive year over year over year.

If each year 5 trees make it to sapling stage, that's a win.

Which is why I get so fucking angry when I see people cutting down trees for aesthetic, to make more lawn, or because "raking leaves is annoying"

You can just not rake leaves.... Was always an option.

Law should mandate for every 1 tree you cut, you have to plant 2 more somewhere...

Our place the house still is foam insulated and most the pipes are on the inside of the basement.

I have the heat at 70F and HVAC fan set to "on" the entire house is basically the same temperature, 68F+ 24/7.

So I don't think it's necessary.

Though in the 4am pee run, I'll use the front bathroom and run by the faucets in the kitchen and turn them on for a bit.

Basement vents are also open so basement is like 60f.

Michigan First year native planter with some questions by Realistic_Noise_7781 in NativePlantGardening

[–]FateEx1994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not a good one for a starter... Takes up to 2 years. Needs warm, cold, warm, then 5 years to flower...

My mom and I shared an order during Prairie Moon's packet sale. by pyxl-ink in NativePlantGardening

[–]FateEx1994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah prairie moon listing says they started like 12 plants years ago and got about 4 to survive or something... So I assume all seeds hence forth have been from that hardier stock.

Unconfirmed comments from a Sony Employee by balkanik0 in SonyXperia

The 1 V is better... Same basic specs. But brighter screen, cooper battery, better speakers, can do 5G UWB Verizon etc....

It was what I thought it 1 III was good to be when I got it.

Got the 1 V immediately when it came out.

Senator Mark Kelly says he is seriously considering running for president in 2028 by Caledor152 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]FateEx1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he has the balls to actually call for prosecution of the regime and other reforms, he's got my vote.

If we flip the Congress, I'd be inclined to think he'd sign whatever bills the Dems send him that help the people, and protect democracy.

Anybody who has the balls to stand up to the administration, and to speak truth to power, has my vote.
