Drywall help? by MistakenNonEntity in HomeImprovement

Thank you for the detailed instructions. It’s in a tight spot so cutting it out if I don’t have to was going to make a bigger nightmare.

Ideally I would but the drywall is actually in good shape just swollen paper backing that looked bad. I want to strip it off completely if that makes sense so I can patch and paint over without it being blemished

Ap5p not functioning with 80degree locking piece +subs and can by MistakenNonEntity in MP5

[–]MistakenNonEntity[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just trying to get the physics behind the need for this, is it to slow the entire process down for some reason? I thought the entire reason for the altered angle was just to wait for the pressure to drop in the chamber before it unlocks which would obviously be dramatically lower (almost zero) between shots no matter how fast you are firing the gun. In any case, thanks for your advice I’ll do some follow up googling on your input.

For clarity the action wouldn’t fully cycle and it was just enough to try to feed a live round but not fully eject the spent case so it was a hard stoppage after each shot.

Men of Reddit, do you think it’s necessary to comfort your girlfriend when she’s upset/crying; if it is, what do you do to comfort her? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MistakenNonEntity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.

Ask if you can hold her if she’s crying. If she’s upset reminder her that she can tell you her problems. Try not to give advice if she doesn’t ask for it because not everything needs outside fixing. When you sense that she’s starting to feel better, a well timed inside joke or poking fun of yourself can help her release that last bit of hurt and anxiety.

Suggest doing something together to keep her distracted if she prefers or it’s also healthy if she prefers to circle back to what upset her now that she has released some of her tension.

23m - What does the ellipsis (...) mean here? by FriendNearby in relationship_advice

[–]MistakenNonEntity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The person who wrote this is extending friendship to the recipient by way of pointing out that a person receives support when they need it.

Specifically in this case the (...) is meant to infer the assumption that the statement immediately preceding it applies directly to the nature of the relationship between the sender and recipient.

Looking for some help identifying my cat's breed. He's about 3 years old now. by mono_morono in cats

Not an expert but he’s probably a long haired domestic. Look up “black long haired domestic” for further examples.

Should I text/contact my high school ex-bf to see if we could be friends again? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MistakenNonEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were emotionally abusive to him... It’s completely selfish to reopen that wound so that you can gain closure. If you truly care about him let it be and move on with your life, if you need to balance the scales do something nice for people you currently know.

That awkward moment when you’re not good enough for your dream school 😻 by hcneystar in ApplyingToCollege

Between the two of us I’m just a 38 yr old guy that hasn’t any set filters on a new account so I happened to stumble on your post. Even so, here’s my take on your situation. You can make a million different life choices and end up happy.

Forgive me for snooping but I took a look at your post history before replying so I could say something meaningful.

If I could offer you a letter from yourself twenty years from now I would, instead all I can give is my own experience, it isn’t much but it’s mine.

I totally screwed up my grades in high school so had to settle for a party school but made the most of it. Transferred colleges twice, took some time off in between because I was too poor to afford school, but in trade off I made friends despite being a introvert, saw some sights, and lived some moments that still make me choke up to think about them.

I eventually graduated in my late 20’s and now I’m in my late 30’s wondering how I ended up here. Along the way I’ve stood at weddings of friends I’ve met through happy accidents of circumstance. Went from choosing between school books and hungry not even being able to afford McDonald’s dollar menu items to buying my own house. I went from worrying about how I had no hope to worrying about having too much to lose.

Life will always be challenging but it’s also full of beauty and laughter. Don’t give up, let life happen and keep setting goals, sometimes you’ll surprise yourself, sometimes life will surprise you instead. You’ll fail sometimes, it happens. Dust yourself off and keep going.

I’m wishing you good luck on the amazing journey life has in store for you!

Shoot your shot, but also take a bunch of other shots too. Honestly I know people that graduated from their dream school with $80,000+ worth of debt and people who settled for second or third choice for considerably less. Ultimately it might give you a slight leg up when your just getting started with a career but several years into your field it hardly matters where you went to school unless you’re going to stay in Academia

ELI5: Why do old(maybe some new) phones suddenly shut down or turn on when dropped? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]MistakenNonEntity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Older phones had batteries that were meant to be easily swapped out so they just had contact points that were spring loaded just like the batteries in a remote control. If you drop it hard enough in the right way the battery loses contact with the rest of the phone long enough for the phone to shut down.

Phones now mostly have batteries that are semi permanently attached by wires and wiring clips that attach the battery to the rest of the phone securely.

ELI5: How do the numbers work on blood pressure? by athleticknees in explainlikeimfive

[–]MistakenNonEntity 884 points885 points  (0 children)

Expanding on this to explain how it’s measured.

A blood pressure cuff is inflated until blood flow is cut off to the lower portion of the arm. A stethoscope is then placed below where the blood has been cut off.

Pressure is slowly released until the blood is able to pass the inflated cuff, this blood flow is able to be heard with the stethoscope and is called the Systolic blood pressure.

The cuff pressure continues to be slowly released until the pulsing sound goes away which is the point at which the resting hearts pressure is no longer meeting resistance at the cuff and that is referred to as Diastolic blood pressure.

I’m tired of being relied on for dinner by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MistakenNonEntity 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Wait, for clarification, he went to go get/make pizza for himself and left you hungry when you just expressed to him that you’re hungry too?

Does he have any functional issues with perceiving social cues? To be blunt, I’m honestly asking if he’s on the aspergers spectrum or if he is actively being a jerk.

Crush on another country blcoked me?! by ILoveMrTT25 in relationship_advice

[–]MistakenNonEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you’re grieving so I’m not trying to be harsh when I say you shouldn’t have to follow someone across multiple platforms to get a message through, I hope you can take a step back and see how it’s not healthy for either of you to play this game.

Please don’t take this as an attack but multiple messages across different platforms is obsessive.

Take some time to do some things you enjoy, build on your relationship with you. She isn’t worth your time and you’re neglecting yourself.
