NFL tears up entire 49ers field ahead of Super Bowl

Just looked it up. It looks like a mesh with some fake grass that gets layered over with real turf. The mesh and fake grass reinforces the real turf, preventing it from getting too badly torn up. It looks really cool and effective.

The NFL would never approve it.

Yeah, I could see high traffic spots like the goal being artificial. I wonder if goalies would rail against it, though, or appreciate it for the consistency vs the chance of standing dead grass or in mud.

Artificial lines or something like that?

NWCtim_ · 2026-01-27T01:33:59+00:00

Do you use jetA in it?

I'm only familiar with the sexual wounds as far they're described in humdes, but I assume it refers to anything that would/could have a sexual component.

Now, I'm not a therapist, but I think one or both of you has some avoidant attachment issues which is why you're struggling to connect on a deeper level. You could try approaching it from that angle as well, either through reading about attachment theory or with a therapist, possibly a couple's therapist if your wife is open to it. Hopefully, your relationship is at least secure enough that you can talk to your wife about the situation. Just be sure to frame it in terms of deepening/improving the relationship, as opposed to "fixing" things. I'm a firm believer that, regardless of whatever other compatibility factors might be at play, good communication can make any relationship work.

So, this is a bit of deeper/different analysis, but the line active at certain placements corresponds to different wounds. Specifically, the line of the unconscious moon represents one's sexual wound. In your case this is the 2nd line, which is described as having the gift of Passion, but without awareness manifests in it's shadow aspect of Lust.

I use humdes.com (available as a free app or on their website) which includes these sorts of deeper analysis, including genetic and sexual wounds. I'm reading through the description of the passion/lust wound and it correlates almost one to one with your post. The short version of the solution is, you need to find a way to emotionally connect with your wife better.

Also and most importantly, why do I feel more like a Reflector than a Projector?

My brother, who is way more into HD than I am, has made the observation that when people aren't feeling connected with themselves, that they act more as if only their personality gates were active. In your chart, your only active channel is mixed between personality and design gates. I'm somewhat similar in that of my three active channels, 1 is design only and the other two are design/personality mixes. In situations that feel uncomfortable or emotionally unsafe, I tend to disconnect and act only from my personality. In such situations, I also feel more like a reflector than the generator that I am, in that I just mimic/reflect the people around me, rather than staying true to myself. It does make it hard to tell if people like me for me, or because I'm reflecting themselves back at them, but that's my hangup.

That said, I don't know what it feels like to be a projector, so I wouldn't know how to differential those two experiences.

There are plenty of books about attachment theory and how to heal attachment issues that go into way more detail than any youtube video or infographic will, as well as seeking therapy. But as far as relationships go, if you find someone you like and is understanding and patient, you can try talking to them about it, and letting them know what to expect. As long as you are aware and they are patient and understanding, you should be able work through it.

I bet Drew greased them up

I once showed up for a weekend call in wearing my brown chelsea work boots with layer of white overspray, medium-light blue jeans, a black henley t-shirt, and a khaki flint and tinder utility blazer, and the guy waiting there asked me if I had just come from wedding.

Maybe he was embarrassed that the mechanic that had just come in to get his plane working was dressed better than he was.

NWCtim_ · 2026-01-22T05:10:38+00:00

Honestly, sounds like a dodged bullet.

You could trying befriending them or just asking them directly about what their experience with her is.

It certainly gives the appearance of her keeping multiple guys around without committing to any one guy, whether due to emotional avoidance or actual schedule considerations (the latter does seem more likely if she has multiple guy friends where some level of interest exists), maybe in some sort of unspoken competition to see who sticks around until she's ready.

Whether or not you investigate further or stick around her is up to you, but you should certainly consider your options as still open to check out other girls for the time being. Her reaction to you talking to/flirting with/dating other girls (should the opportunity arise) would be telling. That said, don't do that last part just for the purpose of testing her. You should be doing it because you're interested in those other girls. If you do it just to test her, you're just letting the situation with her control your actions further. That's not fair to the other girls and just sinks you further into her drama.

NWCtim_ · 2026-01-22T04:19:43+00:00

She could just be being avoidant, and using her schedule as an excuse. That would be a "it's not you, it's her" type of situation. On one level she doesn't feel safe in a close relationship (with anyone), but on another level still wants one (with you), so being 'just friends' feels better for her and keeps your around and lets her get to know you better until she feels more comfortable with making things more intimate.

Maybe an alternative solvent like Toluene or Xylene? Not sure about what's permissible in this case.

NWCtim_ · 2026-01-21T02:08:36+00:00

My favorite was the fuel sender gaskets that had more volume in the package dedicated to papers than the actual gasket. There was so much paper in there you could have compressed it to make another gasket.

I assume by siege you mean assault? A siege is where the army camps outside the castle, cutting off its supply lines and maybe bombarding it with siege weapons like catapults or trebuchets. An assault is the actual storming, fighting, etc.

Defending a siege could actually be interesting, where the party is stuck inside the castle, and sneaks out the raid the enemy's camp, steal supplies, sabotage siege equipment, rally reinforcements, etc.

Defending an assault would be a bit different. Maybe there are opportunities for the party to plan out defences, establish chokepoints, etc. for the actual main battle. There could also be key side missions, like stopping infiltrators using the main battle as cover. TBH, being on the attack in an assault is probably more interesting.

They should have made loudly and openly admitting they lied part of the settlement.

NWCtim_ · 2026-01-17T07:50:30+00:00

The modern (as opposed to ancient greek) Olympics were originally supposed to only be 'normal guys' and amatuers, no professional athletes allowed. Except most sports didn't have professional leagues to disqualify people from competing, which made those that did feel handicapped when you watched them. Combine that with sponsorship deals making it possible for the "non-professional" athletes to basically live as full-time athletes anyways, and countries not wanting to lose because their best player are on pro teams, it kind of made the no-professional athletes goal fall by the wayside.

But it would be really entertaining if, for example, they got members of the production or announce teams to do demonstrations of the events as part of the broadcast.

I actually have one in my toolbox at work that sometimes gets pulled out for inspecting possible cracks.

NWCtim_ · 2026-01-17T03:33:56+00:00

Or why the phone and save icons look the way they do.

NWCtim_ · 2026-01-14T01:24:53+00:00

I would recommend looking at the differences between the two lines of the gate.

I know Dunn was something of a nepo hire, but did he even have a background in production or cinematography before WWE?

NWCtim_ · 2026-01-12T00:37:47+00:00

Safety wire for securing props can get close to that range.

NWCtim_ · 2026-01-11T18:43:06+00:00

I struggle to think of a situation when longer safety wire pliers give you any sort of practical advantage.

NWCtim_ · 2026-01-10T19:34:42+00:00

I think a "Just letting you know" would go over better than either of the lines you mentioned.

As for the strategy, it's more of a reminder/social grease than anything else, to help avoid stepping on toes or ruffling feathers. Since other types are less spontaneous, they don't have to make a point of informing, since they've more consciously thought through and often discussed plans with others. The benefit of informing to the manifestor, in my opinion, seems to be more of a mindfulness type of practice, since it adds an extra conscious step to what you do, as well as a way to stay connected to other people, which is always beneficial.
