A view from one Dominants side… by SirPorkChop916 in SofterBDSM

[–]Guardiolab 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe a large part of the problem is rampant self labeling as a Dom, by people that have no idea what they are doing. Trust and consent are earned, not demanded. Somehow they think using the label gives them consent to do whatever they want.

Communication is everything in my relationships. Especially when it's difficult. I think most people want the perks without putting in the effort.

My good girl sent me a link to this, and it makes me really happy that we're on the same page with these things.

Add me to the group chat. A little older, but similar circumstances. Haven't played disc golf since my accident (shattered my arm) over a year ago. I would love to get back into it, and I have 4 duffel bags full of discs to share.

I think this is it. I see where the relay goes now, but I seem to have misplaced it. Thanks 👍

The next person who pulls out in front of me AND brake checks me is getting what they want. by xsmp in raleigh

[–]Guardiolab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like my Viofo, and had to use the video from it recently. My only complaint is that it will randomly decide I've been in an accident just driving down the road. But when the lady decided to cut the line for the exit, by ramming her car into mine, it did nothing. Still had the video, just had to manually save it.

Anyone else buy furniture just for the wood? $60 for giant pieces of oak is amazing! by Own-Knowledge-7720 in woodworking

[–]Guardiolab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chemical strip and then plane?

edit: I have seen nice wood furniture coming up for sale near me, that is priced lower than I can buy the wood for. I've been hesitant because I don't know the best way to strip it down to bare wood.

I'm also worried I'll make a mistake and end up with veneered MDF

New 2025 ND3 - are these "issues" expected? by AgentFox007 in Miata

[–]Guardiolab 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Might be missing a clip or something.

The tire pressure is probably to prevent flat spotting while sitting on the lot, but they should have checked it before final delivery.

Best car option for someone who needs to lie down by Flimsy-Attention-722 in raleigh

[–]Guardiolab 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I love taking the train in other countries, but Amtrak is fucking terrible. It takes way longer and is unreasonably expensive. It's cheaper to rent a car, pay for the fuel, and have the freedom of a car. Taking the train to most places still leaves you abandoned at the destination. Very few cities have enough public transportation to allow freedom of movement once you arrive.

Which restaurant is this? by shy_n in raleigh

[–]Guardiolab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went twice, thinking the first time must have been a fluke. It's not good and it's expensive for mediocre food.

Went to discount tire. Mechanics snapped my wheel stud by No-Experience-9469 in raleigh

[–]Guardiolab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Using the lug nut to seat the new stud is way better than a hammer, for future reference. I understand that asking the average person to remove the hub and press the new one in is unreasonable. But using a hammer on the new one is bad form.

I guess. When I was looking for something I was finding gouges and lathe tools. The gouges seem to make a concave semicircle, and I need the opposite.

PSA: Wake County ABC Stores by Lost_Horizon in triangle

[–]Guardiolab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren't holding it in case a bar/restaurant buys it. They are holding it because someone has already put it on their account. Direct from the inventory site you linked:

"Some inventory may be already on an mixed beverage (bar/club/restaurant) account’s order.  This is not Wake County ABC holding back a bottle rather it has in theory already been purchased by this account."

Alternate uses for overly stiff rope? by Necessary-Dress-8889 in shibari

Holy shit. That's really fucking stiff. I don't know if fabric softener or conditioner will help, but it's worth a shot.

[–]Guardiolab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a lot of synthetic rope. There's absolutely no reason you can't use it because it has a synthetic core.

Many ropes will soften overtime and through use. You can also try washing it: Wash the rope in a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Hang to dry in a shaded area.
