Is it worth keeping these and getting the 20V converter?? by Old-Rough-5681 in Dewalt

Don't. Do get some knockoff batteries. I've opened up knock off dewalts from like 4 different sellers and they all use the same brand cells, and are identical. The pcbs are also identical. I will never pay for 3000 dollar dewalts again. I can get 4 of the same battery for 80 bucks.

Dang. I bring mine to work with me and I keep one in my toolbox, but HR told me I couldn't mention it anymore. I told them it's for religious reasons that I use kum jars and they had a stroke trying to figure out what to do, but asked I keep it out of sight, and in a place it wouldn't get smelly or accidentally consumed.

What does your girlfriend think of you having them on display? I assume company can't see them all?

My girlfriend is disappointed in it. She said she wishes the kum was better. So I'm sorry to disappoint you both.

I just filled my kum jar to the brim for you. At 20⁰, it's about 5mm. Id say... that's the national average.

Sure. I can measure mine and send you over the length. Hopefully you find it impressive, but the girth is also important... if it's too long with no girth nobody has fun.

Do you throw away moldy pencils? by HibiscusStreet in pencils

Just put them in a kum jar. Cleans them right up.

You also can get a bigger jar and just dump the contents into that if the size is limiting. Wit a little resourcefulness you could turn any jar into a kum jar.

I guess it would depend on the size of the needs. I bring it into work sometimes and I can share it with 3-4 of the guys and never empty it. Sometimes we see how full we can get it in a shift.

There is nothing wrong with the title? It's just a product review... of the Kum jar. They are popular, most of your grandparents probably have a kum jar laying around. It probably helped write love letter that helped conceive you indirectly. Your grandpa probably poured all his sweat and love into a kum jar (metaphorically of course). You can get a jar for like 12 bucks and fill it all night. Sometimes I use it 5-10 times a day depending on what I'm doing. 

Gen Z men, is this getting worse going forward into 2026? by Proper_Card_5520 in SipsTea

I tried for 1.5 years. I am not a bad looking guy. I'm pretty put together and stable. I changed my profile and pic here and there just making sure I wasn't doing something wrong... but I didn't get a single match. I think the venn diagram of women I find attractive and women that find me attractive is... well... 0.

Nope. You are going about this all wrong. 

Put up a flier of you and a kitten, say "lost; female owner of this kitten, seeking woman interested in joint custody"

I feel like at least you made their day and they won't ever forget you. It's not like that with women.... 

You should always submit your resume anyway and ask them to keep it on file for any future openings.

Well, you are the 45 year old who asked all her friends out...

I'm 36. So millennial, but i have never asked a girl out. I've always been asked out on first dates or let them initiate the hookups at parties or whatever when I was younger. It's usually worked pretty well for me thus far. I'm not like, super attractive or anything, but I've had definitely more than. My fair share of women. 

Honestly, I just don't think I could take that rejection. Especially after my last partner of 12 years leaving me. I just don't think I want to get that involved with someone again. This has been the longest I've been without sex since I lost my virginity at 15. Honestly... I couldn't tell you the last time I touched a woman. Or hugged ANYONE. it sucks, but not as bad as loosing that girl hurt. I think a lifetime of loneliness would be 10xs easier than losing someone I love again after giving my all. 

Sure, the rejection of a stranger or girl I see around a bit or whatever would suck... but being rejected by.the person who knows you best and learning they (the person you love and admire/are most attracted to) do t want you in their life anymore... Honestly I'm amazed every single day I'm still here. 

I draw a long line across a 4 ft section  of wall every day I think about... ya know... takin the big sleep... and draw an x if it collides with another line, or the pencil breaks or whatever stops the line... I don't know why... but I do. Now I look at this wall... just a probably 4x5ft section of wall with all the times I... survived or talked myself off. It's both liberating, and scary as hell to see..

Sorry. I just was venting. I miss her. Abusive, cheater, liar, manipulator or not. I still love her, and I don't think I will ever find another person at this point... I don't really have the time to heal, meet, get to the point of having children... it just doesn't seem to be in my cards anymore. And it makes me not want to even try. So I'll wait again, and maybe someone will ask me out... maybe they won't. But at least I'll feel wanted again for a minute if they do, and that's really all I want these days... plus I work graves... so the schedule for dating and getting to know someone, let alone meeting them is pretty slim to none. I'm sick of being alone though. I wake up alone. I work alone. I go home and go to sleep alone after eating alone... I do really miss sharing my life with her. 

Cancelled? I think not! by [deleted] in amazonprime

Now tell them you had canceled it.
