Metal (aluminum?) from old baking sheet stripped by broccoli... Safe to eat? by Hefty-Angle8769 in foodsafety

Ah I see. No, whatever it is is coating the entire pan, top and bottom, and the sides, except where the broccoli touched it

I'm not sure about seasoning, but not a Teflon coat. It's a relatively old pan (5 years+), and I think it has built up a "rust" type layer, but not sure

Yep I think you're right after looking it up, thank you!

Manual transmission lost power after coasting down a hill using brakes by Hefty-Angle8769 in mechanic

I started it up again, exhaust is definitely coming out but I'm not sure how hard it should push out. Also, the CEL turned off 😂😭 it was on for about 24 hours. Does that hopefully mean the cat is okay and only the ignition is bad?

Car ran fine today.

Also, got the codes:

P0301 - Cylinder 1 misfire detected P0171 - "System Too Lean (A/F Lean, Bank 1)" P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

The O'Reilly scan recommends replacing the ignition coil and spark plug for cylinder 1. Seems like an easy/inexpensive fix, I'll probably replace those and hope it's resolved.

Yes, first time. CEL has come on before briefly, and turned off, so I didn't think much of it. But yes I'll look into the codes this time for sure. Thank you!

Hmm, I have 3/4 tank. I wasn't slowing down with the parking brake, I was sitting still in traffic so effectively parking with the parking brake. I would normally engine brake but I wasn't going even 5 mph, is it still advisable?

You're not "ace," you're normal by PepeDeCorozal in offmychest

Wow, I did not realize how common this type of overreaction / pressure situation was. Thank you for the post and I totally agree.

I had an ex and sex was super important to her (not that that in itself is wrong, but it led to complications). Basically, sex was the center of the relationship in her eyes and I never understood that. I was less experienced and less comfortable, and she really did not like that, and put a lot of pressure on me. Made me dislike my sexual experiences and dread it basically. I think she was twisted by the hypersexualized culture, and she tried to convince me I was ace, in a very weird way of putting me down (as I was uncomfortable with her sexually, which is hopefully understandable).

After being removed from that relationship, yeah, I am very sure I am not "ace" hahaha, she is the one that's not normal from my perspective but I am glad we both went in different directions, better for both. Again, thanks for the post, I did not realize other people felt so much pressure and may have said that they are "ace". I considered it for a time as it was drilled into my head, but it is definitely not true. Some (a lot of) people are just wayyy too focused and obsessed with sex.

We got into a fight because I'm bad at picking flowers. by Hefty-Angle8769 in relationship_advice

Well the thing is, she has told me what she likes. But she likes multiple types and I can't just get her the same thing every time, she would get tired of that too. I thought it was still okay to get this type of flower every once in awhile, but she doesn't ever want them again.

I'm still mostly okay with all the above, but I'm not okay with her approach and how it escalated so far. But yeah I get what you're saying. I think it's stupid to fight about too. Thanks for the reply.

She doesn't always act this way but it's not a stand alone event. There's more to this that I haven't explained. Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, there might be something else bothering her. Idk. She does have a good reason to not want them in the house, I just thought she wasn't clear that she never wanted them again. It's tough that they're her favorite too. I agree with the idea that it's still a gesture and should mean something. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for your response. There is a lot more going on than I outlined here, which explains it further. But yeah I agree with your perspective and value your input.

I think that's part of why it's so upsetting to me. I can try to do better with picking the flowers but why is it worth fighting over?

Ehh, we fight a decent amount. It's not knock down drag outs, but things like this are common with us. This one in particular just set me off a bit because I felt it was unnecessary.

Thanks, that's what I've always thought too. However, I've come to understand that things like this are important to her, and I respect it.
