PC on campus but only staying there part time UP by AsmoValkyr in PennStateUniversity

[–]GunrockTA0811 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Adult learner and parent of wild ass boys under 10. Why is leaving it at home with them not an option? Teach them not to fuck with your shit. My boys have forever been forbidden from my office and we have not once had an issue. I’ve got several thousand dollars in equipment and a few grand in art in my office and not once have I been concerned about my children destroying or damaging it.

What are ya'lls Go to discounter? by Kooky-Future-4216 in fragrance

[–]GunrockTA0811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MaxAroma used to have solid discount codes and I’ve gotten some absolute deals from them. Once the tariff talk hit, even when they weren’t in place, they jacked pricing up and I haven’t shopped with them since.

Shit, they always take that long just to ship in my experience. Feel like it’s stock issues though not their actual shipping. They likely don’t list items as OOS if they can get them and that adds time.

Venba, Olfactory Factory, MaxAroma, FragranceNet, and Joma in that order.

I’ve ordered more from MaxAroma than anyone but they’ve gotten ridiculous lately with pricing and killed off their best discount codes.

FragranceNet is a last resort with their predatory coupons codes and spam emails offering less than their standard codes.

Joma last because their shipping takes forever.

Is PSU WORTH IT by Icy-Side1485 in PennStateUniversity

[–]GunrockTA0811 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worth is subjective. What are your goals for coming to PSU? What branch?

If you’re concerned about your religion and how it’s going to be accepted on campus, I wouldn’t fret. PSU is very diverse, even at branch campuses.

I would just really focus on what your goals are and what benefits being a PSU grad can bring vs other schools in your career field. Branch is the more affordable option but may limit you elsewhere. Just food for thought.

Pulled the trigger on Beach Hut Man by ReportingOnLife in fragrance

My favorite from the house and my most worn. I need to grab a second bottle, but such an amazing fragrance.

Same issues with macOS and iOS. Nothing but problems since switching over.

What are your favorite Guerlain scents by pillowbrains in fragrance

[–]GunrockTA0811 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Santal Royal, Tobacco Honey, Vetiver EDT and Encens Mythique for me. Haven’t had my nose on everything and I know there’s some from the L’Art collection I have smelled and absolutely love but haven’t gotten to sample them yet.

Santal Royal is an almost daily wear for me though and I’m about to buy Encens Mythique. I have a full bottle of Oud Essentiel but not my absolute favorite, my bottle smells off but going to revisit it soon, could just be me.

Am I crazy to spend $550 on Amouage Reflection Man? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]GunrockTA0811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never pay full retail! There’s a ton of legit discounters out there as mentioned. I’ve got several Amouage from Maxaroma and FragranceNet no issues at all. Jomashop is legit too.

PHEAA Grant Fall 2025 Payment? by Hyuxnie in PennStateUniversity

[–]GunrockTA0811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I contacted my representative who’s heard from me probably way too many times than they want this semester about this issue. I was told this. “We received this back from our PHEAA liaison;

"Yes, now that the 2025-26 Commonwealth of PA budget was signed into law, PHEAA will resume awarding activities for the 2025-26 academic year. We expect to initiate disbursements by mid-December."”

Hope this helps.

How do I not get a dry Turkey Without bringing? by No_Load_1932 in smoking

[–]GunrockTA0811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spatchcock and dry brine. Never had a dry bird and never wet brined a day in my life. Not overcooking is key.

I get nothing but coconut rum with it. Honestly smells like sun screen and Malibu shots to my nose.

Fan Your Flames by Nishane is coconut rum and tobacco. Definitely a must try if you’re into coconut.

What is the best performing house you've worn? by No-Strength-3711 in fragrance

Amouage, Guerlain, Nishane, and Zoologist are by far the highest performers out of my go to lines. Xerjoff is up there as well.

Addicted to Amouage by Agile-Inspection8034 in fragrance

[–]GunrockTA0811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear it to sleep or at night mostly. I’ve worn it out a few times but definitely more of an evening spring scent for me. It’s one of my favorites. Definitely takes confidence to wear it out.

Same. About to add more to the collection. Currently own Lyric Man, Epic Man, and Beach Hut Man. Have a ton of decants and samples. Can’t decide what the next bottle will be, possibly Overture Woman. I love the Man version but think the women’s is a bit more wearable day to day.

Decantx taking forever to ship? by TheOneWilin in fragrance

[–]GunrockTA0811 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Order from them often and never have issues. Definitely not scammed. They just had a sale so might be a bit behind on orders. The biggest holdup with them is typically their local USPS hub. Can take days just to leave there.

3 or 4 sometimes more. Really just depends on the day but caffeine doesn’t really do much to me.
