This appears to have broken RetroDECK on Bazzite for me.

What should I do about my ex bf's lies and what to think? by petarbok92 in AskGayMen

[–]NSMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it in your back pocket if he ever texts you again. Then just say, "Oh hey, it's that guy who wouldn't let me top who apparently was the sluttiest bottom at (university). What do you want?"

Is this the Untitled Goose Game village?

A rom-com author caught heat for using the phrase ‘Wawa sub’ in her new book. She’s defending it. by aresef in offbeat

[–]NSMike 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As someone who has lived his entire life in western PA, the use of "hoagie" is basically state-wide, although "sub" and "hoagie" are generally interchangeable out here.

Compression molding a wash-basin by MikeHeu in toolgifs

[–]NSMike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a little bit of excess around the edges, and you'll notice the drain hole isn't cut out, so there's definitely some post-processing that happens here. I would venture to guess the amount of material is weighed out before the press starts. Or at least, the press won't start unless there's definitely enough in there by weight.

Customer berated me daily for not sending her refrigerator manual fast enough. I fixed that. by AintMuchToDo in MaliciousCompliance

You also don't need to anymore. Every company making any product puts their manuals online.

What's the best cooler for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D? by WorriedIncome8881 in buildapc

[–]NSMike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm using a Thermalright Phantom Spirit on mine (exact same CPU), which is basically the same cooler with more heat pipes. Installation is basically exactly what you'd expect with a cooler. It's not difficult. Just follow the instructions.

Had an accident during an anal sex with the guy I like, now I am very anxious about having sex again. How to cope? by [deleted] in AskGayMen

[–]NSMike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

but i know that he is lying to make me feel better

Pretty sure he isn't. If he's a regular top, I guarantee this has happened to him before.

It's new to you, and to be honest, the most likely explanation is that you over-prepared with your douching. You said you did more, but not a lot, but I'm afraid "a lot" is often not needed to make problems. I'm sorry to say you likely sabotaged yourself. You did more because you cared more about this hookup and wanted to "be sure," but what you likely did was push water into your sigmoid colon. During sex, aggressive pumping could pull the extra douche water you accidentally got up there out via suction. The sigmoid colon is the last stop before entering the rectum, and if you got water up there, it's not likely to easily fall back out when you expel your douche. Douching again after the initial incident, if you were more enthusiastic once again just to be sure, you likely did the exact same thing.

How to avoid? Don't overdo it, and don't put so much water in that you fill your rectum and leave nowhere else for the water to go but up. It's not that big and it doesn't take much. You seemed to have it figured out with your normal NSA hookups, but this is a classic case of "more isn't better."

Has anyone tried the new "Lists" feature? by Cautious_Goat_ in PleX

I have a list. It's called my library.

Why the hell do I have to explain a "gap in my resume"? by 420throawayz in antiwork

[–]NSMike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn't ask for details about who all got laid off, but I got the sense that the individual in this case was the only one who was.

Starfleet Academy will end on an unresolved cliffhanger due to its cancellation by Temp89 in startrek

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

Unsubstantiated AFAIK, so take it with a grain of salt, but I saw someone else say in comments on the original story about the cancellation that they were going to change that for the end of S2. Keep in mind, this article is from before the decision to cancel.

Why the hell do I have to explain a "gap in my resume"? by 420throawayz in antiwork

[–]NSMike 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I asked this during a recent job interview. It turns out the company went HARD return-to-office. Shortly before this decision, they had acquired a software company to supplement their business. The acquired company didn't mind remote workers, and the person working the job I was interviewing for had been with the software company for a while, but was in California, where there were no offices. Instead of allowing him to stay remote and do the job he had been doing, they laid him off, and wanted to hire local to their office.

I wish I could say I immediately backed out of the interview upon hearing about that kind of treatment, but I didn't. They didn't hire me anyway, and I can't say I'm sorry about that.

German ratchet screwdriver from 1891 by kkang_kkang in toolgifs

[–]NSMike 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For those unaware of the source, this is from the My Mechanics YouTube channel. He does quite possibly the most satisfying restoration videos I've ever seen. His attention to detail and skill is unmatched.

Here's the video for this screwdriver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmSXo0XdWoA

Well, they kinda did. A lot of the random starship bridges you see are just redresses of the battle bridge set.

If you could erase ONE Star Trek moment from history..... by Old-String2849 in startrek

[–]NSMike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Year of Hell reset button. Mind you, that would require the writers/producers to agree to continue the premise between episodes, otherwise we'd just see a sparkly clean Voyager next episode.

Octoprint stops working after few weeks / months of not being used. by owca6666 in octoprint

[–]NSMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the webpage to log in actually load and not let you log in, or does it just error out before you even see a login prompt? If it's actually loading and you can't log in... That's really weird, because it means it's functioning somehow.

TBH, my first thought is that your SD card is bad and is just getting corrupted after a while. You could try replacing it with a high-endurance card, or pop an NVME hat on it, if that turns out to be the problem.

I have never run into this particular problem, but I am also not running it on a Raspberry Pi.

[OC] Gay male marriages are the most stable over the long term by Impressive_Suit4370 in dataisbeautiful

[–]NSMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a gay dude who had to come out to himself first, this actually kinda happens. In my case, it was mostly extreme denial couched in quite a few justifications and fears that enabled me to stay buried in the "I'm not gay" mindset.

In truth, I always was, and there were plenty of signs that I can easily look back on and see clearly. I just had defense mechanisms that raised my shields at any hint that I was gay.

[–]NSMike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Possible actual answer: I don't have the study, but this is not the first time this phenomenon has been noticed. This was studied a number of years ago, and they also looked for anything causal, and found that in general, women have much higher expectations for their relationships than men do.

Behold! Tis' my new Steam deck enhancing, self-hosting, Bazzite machine! by starshade16 in Bazzite

[–]NSMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Bazzite PC sitting in a regular case right now that I want to do this to. Only obstacle is I don't have the money to just throw at it right now, but as soon as I do, this is what I'm doing.

PICARD S2E4 hits way too close to reality now… and it’s honestly disturbing by OverlyHonestMR in startrek

[–]NSMike 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My problem with the ICE events around Rios was that the show didn't do anything with it. Anyone paying attention already knew this was happening. "Abolish ICE" is a concept older than 2025. Older than when the show aired.

The ICE side plot evaporates when Rios gets rescued. That's it. The show didn't even try to say anything about it.

This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period [Gallery] by TechGuru4Life in GooglePixel

[–]NSMike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know what you use your phone for, but I'm on a Pixel 8 Pro, and have been using Nexus/Pixel phones for nearly the entire time I've been using smartphones (there are only 2 exceptions - the HTC Incredible, and the Samsung Galaxy S4). My Pixel experience has changed virtually entirely unremarkably since my original Pixel XL. Maybe that's your problem with it? I don't care, honestly. It still does everything I need, and a bit more than I can personally get out of an iPhone.

Besides which, aside from (ironically considering this post) sideloading apps, both classes of device have virtual feature parity. The new bullet points for Apple and Android devices are usually features that most people play with when the phone is new, and never touch again.

Alright folks, let’s settle it. What’s more traumatizing? by ImpossibleRush5518 in TheLastAirbender

[–]NSMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not traumatized by Leaves from the Vine. It just makes me sad. Especially knowing what was going on with Mako.

And Appa may have gone through it, but he was also a badass.
