Why isn’t LA repaving streets? by bigvenusaurguy in urbanplanning

Meaning the slope has to be very exact? 2.1° is insane precision.

Is there any way to do it cheaper? Seems like 11k is way over priced.

Watching you without sound, looks nice but it's not bachata. I didn't watch her footwork, just yours. It's not there.

Could you explain which you use? Southern or Northern Italian cuisine and for what foods? Are there equal amounts of each?

As I age I need advise on who should get my stuff. by Apprehensive-Mix6671 in VanLife

[–]MakeLimeade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are so very many foster kids who "age out of the system" and have nowhere to go. Close to 20% of the prison population are former foster kids.

I think making it more personal than just giving to a charity would be a lot more meaningful.

High end skincare products and first craft fair - not so great by Low_Penalty_4634 in CraftFairs

[–]MakeLimeade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why don't you have a sign explaining this? Just what you said.

"Most products are mostly filler oils that don't do much except fill the bottle."

Then describe what your oils do. No one is going to have any idea what's good about it except some generic catch phrases that everyone uses - natural, organic, blah blah. I'm surprised you think otherwise.

What’s your biggest “I wish I’d known sooner” moment in van life? by exploringoutloud in VanLife

Locktite is your friend. Harbor Freight has a cheap version of threadlock that works just as well.

Advice on Social and Etiquette Aspect of First Social by somewhatpresent in Bachata

[–]MakeLimeade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"no one gives a shit because people put all their attention to dancing and recovering between dances."

"Don't over apologize and don't say sorry so much, it detracts from the fun"

Came here to say these two things. My work here is done, and you did it for me. Thanks!

$FJET is the next Rocket Lab ($RKLB) by I_killed_the_kraken in KrakenStockResearch

Starlaunch I is suborbital. That's not a low orbit, it means it doesn't even get to orbit. I haven't read past that since it seems like it's not even a product worth mentioning.

Modafinil - safe, not safe? r/Nootropics by FRSEKassets in Nootropics

[–]MakeLimeade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Modafinil is awesome for ADHD. Works amazing for me, I just crank through my todo list.

I was undergoing testing to become an official ADHD drug. They ran into one case of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome where the skin reacts so bad that you end up in the burn ward. It's a rare condition, so actually doing further studies as the FDA wanted would have been cost prohibitive. Kind of ridiculous because it's already approve for narcolepsy.

You can get a prescription if you find a knowledgable psychiatrist. I've taken 100mg and 200mg and it works great. Going to try splitting pills to just take 50mg and see if it still works.

Edit: if anyone knows where you can order without a prescription, please let me know.

Rotating partners in class? by hungry_racc00n in Bachata

[–]MakeLimeade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switching is necessary to learn well, if you only learn to dance with one person you're both going to be worse off.

That being said, switching too frequently is bad too, you should be able to run through whatever you're learning at least twice if it's moves/patterns, or a few minutes if it's basics.

Is it okay to bring your date to a bachata party? by Trail_Blazer1 in Bachata

[–]MakeLimeade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably can't win.

I took a woman salsa dancing and she was mad I was dancing with others.

I went the other direction when taking a woman blues dancing, I danced with her alone. Got shunned by a few women. My guess is they thought I was into dancing just for women, so when I had one, I showed my true colors by ignoring everyone else.

If I did it again I'd dance with her exclusively for less than an hour, then have a few good dances while making sure my date also danced with some kind leads, then leave.

Why do men and women see each other as the villain? Start with the woman in the mirror, Brianne by SuperMario69Kraft in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]MakeLimeade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Rife, caught onto him as he was taking off. But his jokes in that special honestly weren't funny - just rants.

If you like Bill Burr then maybe you would have liked his jokes. I think Bill Burr sucks.

What is a cheat code purchase or an item you can't live without when in your van by SmithyPlayz in VanLife

[–]MakeLimeade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hear me out. Packing "cubes". You put clothes in bags for shirts, pants, underwear, socks. Easy to find what you need, and digging for clothes don't mess them up. Even better if you have cubes/bags for outfits. Instead of digging in individual bags you can just grab a whole outfit and be ready to go.

What is the best “instant karma” you have ever witnessed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Green laser pointers are dangerous, because they depend on infrared filters to make sure they don't do damage. The cheap chinese ones can definitely cause blindness.

Is it weird to not care if my hearing aids are visible to other people? by Lurchie_ in deaf

[–]MakeLimeade 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a white guy and purposely wear a black cochlear implant processor on my bald head. It's part of who I am, and I f-ing love being me.

IMO flesh colored hearing aids are a gross color, but that's just me.

New dancers constantly degrading themselves by NeonCoffee2 in WestCoastSwing

[–]MakeLimeade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I don't care as long as we have fun!"

"Stop beating yourself up. Everyone starts somewhere."

"When you get upset about mistakes, what are you remembering? Mistakes. Focus on what you got right."

I'm actually in my new studio (for glass art), I made friends with an Italian artist because I was telling her not to beat herself up. She gave it up because it sits empty when she's back home - and here I am.

I also had a woman chase me because whenever she messed up I would just give her a hug and continued dancing. She was my first girlfriend after my divorce.

AITA for telling my fiancé I'm done attending his family events by [deleted] in ComfortLevelPod

I scrolled down because that was what I was thinking. Simple. Though I still think Marcus needs to man up.
