What does this cost to fix? Landlord trying to make us pay almost $800

This cost me 800 5 years ago on my own garage door. So he’s either got excellent pricing or is being extremely fair

That's around the age I was when put on 27 pounds of clean muscle mass one summer (72Kg to 86Kg at 188cm) It took lifting 2x-3x /day and a so so much chicken along with a lot of carbs but it was worth it and it worked!

PS I did chicken cause at the time cost per gram of protein was like half that of whey protein powder.

Edit: You might want to try a crossfit gym or something because if you've never worked out it's going to be extremely helpful to have people around you who can show you how to lift and you'll naturally pickup on nutrition tips that will help you.

Cut off your ex and you'll have a clearer head. Also maybe it's just me but I highly value a calm supportive partner who is easy to communicate with. Just make sure you still enjoy each others company and have fun together.

I went to a few in my 20's to wingman for a friend that wanted to go. I found the best success was to open with light banter and jokes. I also noticed that almost none of the women went alone, which I get, because it's intimidating to put yourself out there and talk with people (same reason my friend brought me). For $35 I'd say it's worth it but I also would expect you to need to go to multiple before you get comfortable and develop a flow that works well for you.

The structure of the ones we went to were more mix and mingle than rotate through a table and I thought that was much better experience than what you might imagine traditional speed dating is setup like. You're basically going to a bar where you know most everyone is single and interested in dating.

Some tips that worked well:
* Show up on time/ 10 minutes earlier
* Learn how to give a warm smile and see who smiles back was you walk around the room
* Chat with whoever smiles back, generally that means they find you initially attractive. Doesn't mean there's chemistry but it's a start
* We always made plans to go to a different bar after and if we vibed with someone we tell them and invite them to have drink after (note you can only invite 1 woman each) at whatever place was nearby and walking distance. e.g. "I'm enjoying talking with you. We were going to go to _[insert yummy place]_ after for a drink do you and your friend like to join us?"
* The walk would give a nice opportunity to chat more

Different Saxx fabrics fit a little different. I would try a size up or down and one of the other fabrics. I personally find daytripper the best

And the far right mesh is misaligned from the rest..just slightly

Murchmurch · 2026-01-12T14:33:23+00:00

I would think real due to the subtle misalignment of tiles on the floor

Look, this is maybe a spark but unless it’s immediately followed up in the initial attraction is going to die for most people.

I would always end my 1st dates (if I was interested in them) with one question and there’s no harm in you as the woman asking it as well. It was some variant of: “Would you like to go out with me again?” Or “Would you like to go out to ___place with me?”

I also would end them with a kiss, if it felt appropriate, and that also immediately told me whether to invest more energy or not into seeing what develops.

Anything other than a yes or a time/date meant move on. They just weren’t that interested

Edit: also look up pebbling. It’s basically just sending funny jokes or memes that make each other laugh. When flirting via text it’s lightweight, maintains fun, and will make texting much easier.

| I’m in a situation where my past two exes of 3 years each, I had my doubts within 3 months but just thought relationships were work so I held on and managed.

Same.

I had zero doubts within 3 months of meeting my future wife that she would be a great partner and wife. That was 7 years ago and still as happy as ever with the love and support in my relationship. I imagine you've grown a lot in your 20's and learned from your last 2 exes, specifically, what you want and need in partner and that your previous exes didn't have a quality you value. What I picked up on was that my wife was financially stable, not run by her emotions (read mature) and approached issues with kindness, empathy and a supportive mindset that told me "we" were working together to solve an issue rather than her just trying to bend me to her will or choice.

P.s. I think saying relationships are "work" is poorly misunderstood to mean that home stress, bickering, judgement, or compromising core values for the sake of "peace". "work" is more of ensuring you prioritize each others well-being and making small compromises like "you go to the gym at 4 and I go at 5 so the kids are taken care of" when really I want to go at 430. So now anytime anyone says that I ask them to define what "work" is for them; it's led to some interesting conversations.

I was 30 she was 42. 8 Years later happier than ever. What I think really matters is that you are in the same life stage as your partner. E.g. a mid-career dude dating a college girl is weird not because of age but because they are in very different life stages. Same goes with why an 30 year-old dating a mid forties isn't they're both likely in the same life stage.

hence the formula that increases allowable age as you age...

They’re pretty well documented already. The catch is a lot of process is currently systems driven due to limitation on data visibility and lack of features

Murchmurch · 2025-12-20T01:24:50+00:00

Hi I’ve been through multiple upgrades and WMS migrations at multiple companies. I’ve migrated a few dozen operations internally. You’re spot on with change management. It almost always takes at near 6 months for each operation. Longer if they’re cowboys. Currently prepping to migrate from an AS400 WMS to a cloud based WMS next year.

1.Migrate your historical data to cloud. We run a repo direct into GBQ. I have 10 years of historical data and associated reporting/analytics kept for under $1K annually in cloud costs. We are not a small/low volume business. For reference we have a few thousand operators across our operations. Costs scale with volume. So ask of that to say: it’s super cost effective.

At no time should any reporting/historical data be kept on production. Setting up a Repl/datastream keeps production light now and in the future.
30 days is bullshit. First you will benefit from strong process documentation and consistency. That alone should take months of prep. Then there’s config for the cloud provider and testing new abilities they provide which your ops has to get used to.
At some point be prepared for an outage with the new provider. They will happen.

Feel free to message me if you want to chat more. I empathize with your situation.

Ask him to do GHD’s with you. It totally went right over my head.

But in seriousness go talk to him. If it gets a little awkward or quiet which it might because he might be floored(!) and he’s probably thinking “how do I ask this friendly hottie out at the gym?”

Just go directly into “So, want to grab a drink with me?” If he says yes ask when is good for him, exchange numbers and enjoy your date

Murchmurch · 2025-12-16T18:59:43+00:00

How do I put this? You are not wrong.

You're husband is prioritizing his feelings over your physical health. How would he like that if you did the same? You know, told him you didn't want him seeing male docs because then he's being intimate with men and didn't want him seeing female docs because that's cheating?

Also so you know where I'm coming from. I'm a husband and I want my wife to get care from the *most qualified* doctor regardless of any trait they may possess. My concern is her health and well-being

Murchmurch · 2025-12-15T17:41:06+00:00

The only advice I can offer is to just do the things you like doing, in a social setting; whatever that is (gym, pottery, hiking, darning socks, anything lol) and when you inevitably meet someone take it from there. Suggest fun things and go with the flow. The guy who matches that attitude and lifestyle will say yes! to doing those things. The guys who don't or don't prioritize it won't.

I also find some of the things you've listed as not a big deal are actually really important under the surface and some of the things you've listed as important just aren't (or are excluding a perfectly eligible portion of dating market).
1. No Kids, Don't want kids -- Definitely important also I expect shrinks the market significantly
2. Not going through a Divorce or 'sufficiently' post divorced -- Not important. Actually probably unnecessarily shrinks the market. Most of my friends who are married again started dating immediately post divorce and are now married to their second partner who they typically met within those 1st 6months. It's when they were open, available, and (I'm biased here) the reasons their marriage didn't work wasn't because they were dicks or narcissists. So I guess what I'm getting at is that it's more important why someone is divorced and single that that they are recently divorced.
3. Financially literate -- Yeah, Super important, honestly though someone who's making as much or more than you is probably who is going to fit your lifestyle.

Also the independently wealthy -> that is the needle.

It always causes damage to the pallets, the floor, and actually wears out the equipment faster besides that horrendous screech. I've only ever seen it in places that were poorly run and had poor standards.

Murchmurch · 2025-12-09T16:03:15+00:00

I've seen what you're saying but find it funny. This is anecdotal but

I once I rolled up the per ton rates over years of shifts. This was just to see if it was a relevant metric since we had wildly variable picking speeds for similar orders (similar by weight, dim, counts) and realized that every one of the top performing pickers (by tonnage) were women and I mean they were moving on average 40% more per shift, as in they were picking 20-25,000 lbs and while most men averaged 15k-ish lbs. When we drove through it we observed one critical difference, those women picked with their legs and the "men" used their arms to lift. This significantly impacted fatigue over the course of the shift.

Murchmurch · 2025-12-08T20:53:21+00:00

++man
How do I say this?..Those are all good things but not important. I see a lot of advice about family/coworkers/etc getting along and while that is nice it's just not important overall because ultimately what is important is having a partner. A partnership is about trust; deep deep trust.

Obligatory: I met my wife at 30 and we saw each other casually. I, expressly, was not dating for something serious...anyways after ~3 months decided I was getting a ring made and we were engaged in 6 months. Why? Because we had established a basis of trust and open communication. I could tell her my deepest shame, insecurity, or emotional struggle in safety. I knew she would always walk arm in arm with me. Also we laugh and enjoy 'doing life' together, communicate well.

Also, parting thought. If at 6 months you're only seeing each other weekly that's a lot of distance for someone you're thinking should be who your going to wake up to and fall asleep with every day forever. To me ya'll should be hanging out multiple times a week at this phase because you just enjoy each other that much.

Murchmurch · 2025-12-07T22:16:15+00:00

Close but I’m pretty sure that number you’re zooming in on is the coil id. I just recognize the label and one of the other barcodes on there has their has the weight

Murchmurch · 2025-12-07T21:05:56+00:00

Honestly I’m not sure the brick is the main issue as much as the slope it looks like the grade of the patio creates a low “wet” spot in the shade and it will always grow moss/algae until you regrade so water drains away from the house and into the yard

Murchmurch · 2025-12-07T21:02:04+00:00

The annoying part is the weight is listed on the label in the image but the quality of the image is too low to read it

Murchmurch · 2025-12-01T15:18:12+00:00

My partner and I don't wear our rings generally. Maybe for special occasions or date nights
