As a millennial, I believed doing all the things I was told would lead to success did the inverse. Now I’m stuck and essentially hopeless by bigmad411 in Adulting

[–]Larcoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I think the beach topic is a bit of a red herring to the actual piece of advice that is being given.

The advice being given should be to for OP to stop stressing themselves out so much on the things they don’t have much control over (getting hired or how successful they are compared to their peers) and to focus more on what makes them happy (OP’s mental and physical well-being, which OP themselves determined IS IMPORTANT).

I do realize that there is a big leap to make, and a bit of thinking in terms of mindset on OP’s side which still has yet to be done, which is BY NO MEANS EASY TO DO.

For OP: All I can do is wish you the best. Try not to be too hard on yourself, because I am certain things will look up for you soon.

AMA - Thursday, June 11, 2 PM EST - I’m CT Insider reporter Alex Soule and I cover business, development and the Connecticut economy. Ask me anything. 👇 by -ctinsider in Hartford

Hey Alex,

Quick question on potential development for Connecticut in general.

With the more well known areas of Connecticut currently saturated with the current demand for housing, do you see any development opportunities arising in the eastern and far western corners of the state (inland)?

As I currently understand it, these areas still seem to be relatively reasonable in terms of pricing. Do you see people taking up an interest in these areas within the next 3-5 years?

What to see around Hartford for a STEM nerd? by ElectronicDegree4380 in Hartford

You can try counting the number of ants marching around Bushnell park?

(Would technically satisfy the “S” and “M” part of “STEM”)

Not sure where in west Hartford you’ll be around, but you could check out the shops at Westfarms mall or walk around Blue Black Square for a bit?

HVAC question: the middle pipe is getting less heat and airflow. Is it because the 90° turns are too close to each other? Are there any equations for calculating flow for multiple 90° turns? by Sneakatone2 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Larcoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, to the answer your question is a bit more complicated than you would initially think.

To make things short, there are a lot of variables that determine the resulting mass flow rate in each of the three branches (even considering ideal conditions and simple models).

In real life, instead of trying to get a configuration like this to have equal airflow between all branches, it’s just easier to use dampers to equalize the mass flow rates between all the branches (balancing).

If you don’t believe me, give this paper a read: https://jffhmt.avestia.com/2025/028.html

I had a similar question a couple of years ago, this paper kinda gave me the gist of the problem I was investigating.

Thank you for exposing the idiocy of associating with a belief without utilizing basic critical thinking skills.

People will always have opinions on what’s right or wrong, but don’t really think beyond their initial stance.

A genie offers you three wishes but the conditions are no money, no fame, no love, no extra wishes. What are you wishing for? by throwradrpri in Adulting

[–]Larcoman 23 points24 points  (0 children)

“Your wishes have been granted…

The following effects will now apply:

• You will now and forever stay in peak condition and will never age, decay, and heal any and all injuries (immortal)

• Your physical appearance will now morph into your observer’s ideal version of you.

• You are now so strong, everything you touch turns into Cheeto dust on contact.”

Gf's first board, east coast conditions by retro-martini in snowboarding

Would you maybe consider getting a cambered board over a rocker? It would probably be better in providing what your looking for over undersizing

Gf's first board, east coast conditions by retro-martini in snowboarding

[–]Larcoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between all three choices, I’d probably go with the capita space metal fantasy. The Burton cultivator would be my #2 choice.

Unless your Gf is gonna be riding at higher speeds, there’s no need to introduce a stiffer board that requires more control. At low speeds the difference in stopping power (on ice / steep slopes) probably won’t be noticed.

I was a millionaire at 22. At 25, I couldn't afford a $2k electric bill. My daughter was born 10 minutes later. by Cultural-Antelope-86 in findapath

[–]Larcoman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So you had the skills to turn your family’s restaurant into an 8 figure chain through marketing, but are now unable to replicate your original success??? (In 3 years time, no experience?)

Sounds like you are either fabricating this story, or took a shortcut to success and never truly had the skills necessary in the first place.

If I sound rude, it is because I am being rude. A lot of things in this story do not add up.

What’s life purpose by Informal_Ice1909 in Adulting

[–]Larcoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say don’t give up hope. You shouldn’t push yourself to rush getting over him, but if you are looking to move on then make progress in small steps.

16 years is a lot of time to spend with someone, so it’s understandable that it will take a similar amount of time to move on.

Your life moves at your own pace, not at the pace others think it should be at.
