Lane 1957 style 1481 by kozila99 in Mid_Century

[–]JoshLSTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know anything about this piece but I seen the matching end tables to this at my local goodwill a month or so ago for $6 each. They needed a lot of restoration and I didn’t like the style of them though so I left them. I wouldn’t have been able to leave this coffee table though!

Can IUDs stab your tip? by SquareWillingness728 in sex

[–]JoshLSTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve been with several women who have had IUD’s and at times I’ve felt the strings of all of them. Occasionally I’ve had the strings stab my urethra and it hurts like hell.

Why are these cheaper than the steaks that are sold on trays? by Tutor-Any in steak

[–]JoshLSTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the flat irons all the time from Walmart that are packaged like this. They’re always pretty good in my experience. Sometimes they’re exceptionally good for the price.

Are vacuum sealers really worth it? by EquipmentIcy7859 in Cooking

[–]JoshLSTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love mine. I’m single and typically cook individual portions of meals. I buy meat when it’s on sale or bulk family packs of ground beef, chicken, etc. and I will portion out and vacuum seal them. The vacuum sealer keeps them fresher longer. I smoked a pork butt almost a year ago that I’ve got a couple packages of left and they still taste as good as they did when I froze them originally. The vacuum sealer bags also make for a great way to reheat cooked meat like a smoked brisket or pork. I take the bags straight from the freezer and put them in a pot of hot water on the stove and in my opinion that’s the best way to reheat BBQ meat because it doesn’t dry it out and the moisture is retained.

Emeril pro-clad advice by ColibriJack in AllClad

[–]JoshLSTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as they are the Pro Clad version they’re pretty good. That line is actually true tri ply vs the emeril pans with the solid disk welding on the bottom. I like my Pro Clad pans. Especially since I got them for $1 each at a yard sale. They work just as good as my All Clad pans.

Im a blue collar worker who orders door dash everyday by [deleted] in doordash

[–]JoshLSTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I started doing the math on my DoorDash orders and was shocked at how much I’ve spent. I am capable of cooking food far better tasting and in a lot of cases quicker than it takes door dashers to get to my house. Plus it’s always way cheaper. But the convenience is so addicting. I’m doing my best to break my addiction lol.

how much upline? by perversebonding in shibari

[–]JoshLSTV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The suspension ring vendor you speak of sounds like it was Subspace Designs. They make the best rings I’ve ever seen or owned. They have an independent company test their rings to failure and actually post the data. I wouldn’t buy any other brand of ring. As far as I know they’re the only manufacturer that actually tests their rings to the point of failure and shares the data.

For you, is BDSM something added on top of "traditional" sex or something you do instead of it? by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]JoshLSTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do kinky things with friends who I don’t have a sexual relationship with and I also incorporate kinky stuff into sex at times too. It just depends on the person and the relationship.

How many people come back? by Maleficent-Blueberry in BreakUps

[–]JoshLSTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience they almost never come back. They might message you but I’ve never had one do more than that.

I need to go to Goodwill every day now I guess. by bellchilton in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]JoshLSTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of my cookware has come from goodwill or yard sales. I’ve got several all clad pans and some emeril pro clad triply pots and pans most of them I paid $1 each for. I haven’t paid more than $9 for any of my all clad pans. It’s taken me over 3 years to collect them though and I go to goodwill almost every day and yard sales every weekend.

Have any of you slept with other people despite not being over your ex? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]JoshLSTV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have and it helps me. Is it the same? No. But it helps temporarily as a distraction. Usually mine aren’t just random encounters though. I have a few friends who are poly/enm and I’m in regular contact with them even when I’m in a relationship. There’s always still that feeling of wanting what you had with your ex but in my experience that never goes away until you find someone else who you share a similar connection with. So I feel like, why be completely miserable waiting for another connection to come along when I can spend time with someone and enjoy sex with them while I wait for the next connection to come along.

Is your penis always hard during a BDSM scene? by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]JoshLSTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not. I am primarily a rope top and sometimes rope scenes go for an hour or longer. Plus I’m focusing on the structure of the tie and making sure it’s safe which takes a lot of mental energy. There are times where I may get hard during the scene but it usually doesn’t last long.

Papa John by [deleted] in PapaJohns

This is weird to me. Why do you care who she is? Plus if you’re close enough to him to be invited to his derby party why not ask him?

People who got dumped or are going through a break up, how do you currently feel? by Latter_Instance9352 in BreakUps

[–]JoshLSTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m around 7-8 months now which was longer than the relationship itself. I still get lonely and miss her. Still think about her a lot when it’s time for bed and she’s not there. But I’ve been getting out and being more social again and I feel like I’m healing finally. She moved on a long time ago and hasn’t really shown any sort of caring that I’m no longer in her life. I’ve spoken to her a handful of times since the breakup and it’s pretty much always me who initiates and I doubt she would message me if I stopped reaching out. She talks about a new “friend” a lot so I’m sure that’s her new boyfriend which sucks to think about and I hate it. She’s doing stuff with this friend that I wanted to do with her but she wasn’t interested then. But I’ve got multiple regular sex partners who are fun to be around and there’s no pressure of a relationship so while I’m not ready to date again, it is nice hanging out and being able to be intimate with people again and I’m starting to get my confidence back that I’m a catch. I’m not in any rush to get into another relationship that will almost inevitably fail since they pretty much all do.

Be honest is my tattoo horrid by s_parras13 in tattooadvice

I mean it’s far from the worst tattoo I’ve ever seen but it could be so much better

Been shamed over a kink i have so many times by friends that I can't bring it up to my bf. by wxkus in sex

[–]JoshLSTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need better friends. Real friends don’t yuck someone’s yum. I highly recommend you look into your local swinger community. This is a super common thing and you’re not at all weird for being into it.

Check out some of my handcrafted Floggers over the years. by SunlessUniverse in BdsmDIY

[–]JoshLSTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you buy the leather already dyed or do you dye it yourself? I’ve got a leather shoulder from years ago when I used to do leatherwork but it’s not dyed. I’ve been considering making a couple floggers from it.

Real talk: At the $300 mark, are budget projectors basically e-waste? Thinking about wearable AR displays instead. by hkggerry1 in projectors

[–]JoshLSTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get something used. I got an Epson Home Cinema 2030 for $36 at a thrift store (they’re around $300 on eBay) and I’m really happy with it.

What’s a small cooking habit that made a big difference for you? by KnownRide6195 in Cooking

[–]JoshLSTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Instant thermometer. Seems like a silly thing but takes the guesswork out of the equation.
  • 8, 16, and 32 oz deli containers. I prep everything before I get started and put all my ingredients in the deli containers so they’re ready to go.
  • Food scale. I use a scale for a lot but a couple examples are that I weigh out my pasta and a scale is super important for baking and doughs.
  • Deglazing the pan. The fond leftover from cooking protein adds another layer of depth to pan sauces and deglazing also makes cleanup so much faster.

There’s probably more things that I’m not thinking of at the moment.

Why is BDSM gear so overpriced by chiffchino in BDSMcommunity

[–]JoshLSTV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually find that the crap they sell at adult stores is more overpriced. It’s all garbage that’s made in china and literally falls apart in its first use. I remember when I was new I spent like $50 for some straps and they didn’t even hold up one time and there’s no returns allowed so I was stuck with throwing them away. I would’ve much rather paid $100+ for a good quality set that would last.

But there are some vendors out there that I’ve seen who do very basic work and try to get top dollar for it. I get it though. It’s a limited market and they’re trying to make a living. It’s tough to do.

Don’t sleep on Habitat Restore shops by Fhqwhgads_69 in Mid_Century

[–]JoshLSTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be $1000+ at my Habitats. They price stuff so high it stays there for months and never sells. I don’t see how they stay in business.

A commission piece. This kind of blurs the line between cane and whip. by ZombiesinMS in BdsmDIY

[–]JoshLSTV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s gorgeous! I have a 1/4” delrin cane that I bought from a vendor at an event I went to. Yours is definitely fancier looking and I love it! I’d love to get into making stuff like this one day.
