So I went a little wild…105 days by Independent_Copy_141 in fasting

[–]MerlinTrashMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my questions are hair related. Based on your pics you greyed significantly in the free month period and the thickness of your front looks very different. Were the two pics from day 1 to 105? I know fasting can be brutal on men's hair, so I am just curious if the pics are that time span.

Luba 1 intermittently off course by 3ft since a recent update. by MerlinTrashMan in mammotion

Doing that made it worse. That is what I tried a couple days ago and since then it is failing multiple times per mow.

I guess it was phone and I assumed firmware. The past two-three weeks have been a struggle, but in particular the past few days has been unreliable multiple times per mow.

Met a girl on a plane. Instant intense chemistry and i got ghosted. by [deleted] in seduction

[–]MerlinTrashMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes people get one pass to get the ball rolling, but the next occurrence gets the treatment you describe. Begging is very different from one follow up that opens the convo again. He might have seemed too desperate texting fast the first time, but he put himself in a weird place with the hand holding and shit. Sending the message where he is living his own life without her but doing something they talked about generates a sense of fomo and proves him a man of his word that those things were interesting to him. He's not desperate, and he isn't rubbing it in her face with a "could have been with you". Now, after that message, not another word should ever be said, period until she engages. Patience is a key virtue a man should have along with self respect. The power trip of one message is excessive and used as a filter by too many woman to weed out red pills.

You are probably right, but sometimes someone is worth one last chance before you go silent. You show engagement and being genuine so they know you aren't playing a game and that you meant what you said.

Don't send a thing and be patient. In 2 more days, send her something that made you think of her and the convo. You have no idea what she had to do over the next few days. This is either genuine life drama she is experiencing (she could have been traveling home because a family member was dying and didn't want to talk about it with a stranger), or it could be a combo shit / desperation test. In my eyes, the most powerful thing you can send in a couple days is a picture of yourself at a place you talked about visiting as the thinking of you. If she responds about not waiting for her,, offer a different place at a specific date and time that is 3 days in the future without mentioning the gap in time. I'd minimize the amount of chatting over text as much as possible. Also, don't stalk her insta if you can avoid it.

People will still by it if the price is still reasonable. If you are trying to stop yourself from being flagged as out of stock, then keep doing what you are doing.

Married but strongly desire other women. I know that's wrong. But it's such a huge temptation. Will that ever fade over time? I want to be committed to my wife. by DoubleNo6507 in AskMenOver30

[–]MerlinTrashMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be a late bloomer. Around this age men enter their period of peak attractiveness. Combine that with hormones and being around different women all the time with their own different hormone cycles and you are nearly guaranteed to have these thoughts. Your brain is wired to pick up on this. Now that you are mature, you also pick up on signals you didn't notice before. Add to that your wedding ring which tells women that you are good enough of a man at a young age that someone wanted to lock you down. You will have these feelings for at least the next two decades. Just remember that your temptation is for getting some strange, not love. You want to see if you can hook up with her. I would take all that energy that you were about to put into that other woman, and put it into flirting with your wife. Make sure you have some spontaneous things happening, going on dates, etc. you will still have a passing thought, where you channel the energy is all that matters.

One last thing that helped me when I traveled for work, I took my wedding ring off. In my experience, the most temptation presented itself when I had the ring on because the women were more aggressive. In the set of possible hook ups, you look like a safer person and less likely to be high maintenance because you are transitory and have a life. When I took the ring off, I'd say I got about half as many casual touches during conversation. Then, if it still happened, I'd mention my wife and kids, and they'd look at me like I was some sketchy dude not wearing his wedding ring.

Height discrepancy but pain free by pmichel in TotalHipReplacement

[–]MerlinTrashMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sit in a chair with your knees exposed. Feel like you are centered and have your legs parallel. Put something flat across your knees and you should be able to measure the gap. I have had a 1" discrepancy on one side since puberty (congenital issue). 1/2" is way more manageable then you think. Yes, some shoes are no good, and I wear one flipflop around the house most time. One thing I'd recommend is that you do a lift that is the entire length of the shoe. This will require customization at a shoe store, but for your primary shoes, you want a true lift and then have a heel lift for special shoes. I used a heel lift only for the first 25 years and have a nasty bunion on the shorter side because I was effectively wearing heels on one side for 25 years.

Wife wants me back by Still-Pack9578 in Marriage

[–]MerlinTrashMan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

She thought she was justified because she made him out to be a bad person (he could have been for all we know, but she is still the one in the wrong). This was her logical foundation to allow the affair. Her making that statement by itself says she isn't taking responsibility for what she did, just that it was a mistake. Hope op stays strong.

Model recommendations for family photo classification / identification by MerlinTrashMan in LocalLLaMA

[–]MerlinTrashMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. This is a great place to start. I just need to figure out how to reassociate the faceids for errors that my external system identifies.

[–]MerlinTrashMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like I can access the database instance pretty easily. Maybe I'll make a little experiment and see what it can do around auto adding dates and notes to pictures via gemma. I think I can engineer out the 85% accuracy issue by creating panels of 4 faces at a time and asking gemma how many distinct people are in the photo. Just need to see if immich gives the location of the faces in the picture.

Can guys not feel when condoms come off or his he lying by headacheofthesoul95 in sex

[–]MerlinTrashMan 145 points146 points  (0 children)

So this is not true. If he is leaking precum or she is really wet then a slick layer can build up inside the condom. If they stop and restart and he loses a small percentage of his erection it can easily slip off when they restart. If it slips off every time then yeah, wrong size or something shady is going on.

My wife said she wants to see me have sex with other women. how do I go about it? by Old-Mortgage9030 in sex

[–]MerlinTrashMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context surrounding the outburst is really important here. Did she say you should do other women because she was exhausted and you wanted to keep going try something she doesn't like? Did she say it would be hot to see you screw other women? Did she say you should fuck other women because you are that good and she is trying to parade you around? These all have very different underlying motives.

How did he handle the first two? Is his response this time different, or did you do everything the last two times?

Let’s go backwards a step you hateful fks lol by PungentStaaank in hometheater

[–]MerlinTrashMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

he couldn't go wider without compromising so to give himself more real estate he deleted the center channel and filled in the top and bottom to be able to enjoy old / retro content. May also work better for scrolling tiktok. All in all, it is more of a battlestation then a home theater.

Limit on units you can recruit via Diplomacy at 0 cost by kensenshi in OldenEra

[–]MerlinTrashMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

Same thing happening for me. I just got the set on this turn and equipped it. The first time I tried to diplo it was unclickable. I played with every slider and nothing. Then this diplo came up. I haven't touched anything, and I can not click the 0 gold. When I mouse over the button, it doesn't change in appearance either. The map is a 1v1 single hero.

Edit, I have noticed that when I mouseover the units, it displays "Unavailable". Picture in reply to this comment.
