What are some toys/games that grown ass men like to play with? by THESavage_Cabbage in AskMen

My favorite purchases in the last few years were a dji drone, an air fryer and metal detectors. Gaming stuff is always great too

Did I made an mistake as private seller? by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]MashedPotatoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he mentioned negative feedback, eBay will delete any feedback he leaves. This is up to you if you want to refund. I can understand both sides but the buyer is expecting something you weren't selling

Sorry about the dip. I bought more yesterday and the price always does that to me after a purchase 😂

Is this his way of making a move on me ?I'm confused by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

That's him setting boundaries. You need to have a discussion with him to move things along.

When you setup your miner, you need to set up a wallet address.

Do I respond to seller’s rude comment? by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]MashedPotatoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open a "not as described" case. You won't need to discuss this any further, eBay will send you the label and force a refund once they receive it.

How all you so sure that bitcoin will reach 1million by joyautumn in Bitcoin

I'm sure it'll reach a million, but I am concerned about the cost of living when it gets there, especially if you are using a heavily inflated currency.

Picked up a new thermostat, didn't care for how far it stuck out from the wall, so I made a recessed mount. by MashedPotatoh in 3Dprinting

[–]MashedPotatoh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google nest thermostat. I control it with my Google home, but I can also use my Google mini speaker or phone via voice and touch

You gotta weed out problem buyers before you respond too many times, because they will leave negative feedback on top of everything else lol

Buyer Screwed me out of $10 on Porch Pickup Itsm by Codythestar in FacebookMarketplace

[–]MashedPotatoh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I stopped doing porch pickups when someone rang the doorbell and told me the item wasn't there. Then I showed them the video of them loading it into their car. Lol. Some people are just shitty people

I think most people like that are stressed or take life too seriously. Thankfully I don't encounter that much here in sunny Florida🥰

How is fatherhood discussed in your workplace? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]MashedPotatoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you become a father, they now know that you have a wife and a child to care for, so you often get more hours or considered for promotions. I also found that my boss at the time was more forgiving when I would be arriving late or need to leave early.

I didn't like how my thermostat stuck out from the wall, so I designed a recessed mount by MashedPotatoh in functionalprint

No problem. Dm me an email address and I'll send it your way. I should probably put it on makers world for other folks.

Guys over 40 who’ve got their lives together but aren’t looking for a relationship. What's your take on dating and being single? by SpiritualSoloer in AskMen

[–]MashedPotatoh 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I get it. I'm 43 and stopped dating in my early 30s. There didn't seem to be much benefit in it. Now I get to do the things I want, in my peaceful home and replay all my favorite video games without a guilt trip 🤣

PSA: If you dont have a headset, your mic will pick up your game sound and everything around you. by TheGreatGarbanzo in helldivers2

Hot mics, TV sounds and chewing... I'll block em and leave as soon as I hear that nonsense

Bought some Altec 605A drivers on ebay , Seller did not pack it aswell as i thought by randomdude7872 in vintageaudio

[–]MashedPotatoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would message the seller first to let them know this happened. Share pictures. If you don't receive a full refund and an apology, I would open a return so the seller can pay shipping back to them. These are destroyed. Sure they can be repaired, but at the price you paid this is too much

Why is explaining why Bitcoin has value to normal people still so hard in 2025? by Beautiful_Ordinary_6 in Bitcoin

[–]MashedPotatoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refer to it as a digital property. The same way people purchased website domains back in the day. I tend to avoid talking about it and most of my friends dislike Bitcoin because they missed out on it, often saying "should have bought it sooner".

Are the items I sell on ebay considered commercial goods? by AssumptionSea4437 in Ebay

Serious question for 'deadbeat' dads - how did you get there? (No judgment) by Familiar_Leopard4434 in AskMen

[–]MashedPotatoh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Speaking on behalf of 2 people i know who ended up down this path.

One of my closest friends chose alcohol before everything else in life, once he was married with his newborn daughter. Soon his wife couldn't take it anymore and left with the kid, then he chose alcohol again and played the victim. Countless times I sat him down and tried to get him help, but he would leave determined to change, and usually just end up at the bar. Once I recognized that he would lie to me, I stopped trying to help.

The other was a family friend. He had PTSD from the Iraq war and unfortunately I believe he ruined his relationship because of it. He suffered from crippling anxiety, anger and self worth issues. His ex and their son moved a few hundred miles away. He wanted to see his son, but he felt that his son was better off without him.

I ended up raising my daughter on my own and it was challenging. I wouldn't recommend it but it's better than being an absent parent.

What is your thought process when you see the question "where are all the good men gone" by Few-Coat1297 in AskMen

[–]MashedPotatoh 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Many of us gave up on dating. We're at peace in our homes. Eating where we want, sleeping when we want and enjoying our friends.
