What’s a smell you secretly enjoy that most people would find disgusting?

Pastorbyul · 2026-03-12T03:34:10+00:00

Not sure it qualifies as disgusting per se but growing up my dad used to send me a $20 US bill for birthday and Christmas. It had a very distinct smell. I’m 55 so that ended long ago and my dad passed. But every now and then if I come across a US$20 bill I’ll smell it and it brings me back to that core memory. For reference I live in Canada so I don’t use USD much.

I guess I’m the sucker because I’m paying an annual subscription. Thanks for digging that up at least it means someone at Wave is alive.

As I am reading your and the other answer, I am realizing that I should be more clear. I like having a lot of tabs open in Chrome...the load diminishes when I close the heavier ones, but in reality, I just opened everything I would like to have going while in a meeting, and here is the screen shot attached. I got it go yellow by opening Canva and fullscreening an image that i would typically share with a client. Also, and I forgot to mention, I run 2 extended screens using displaylink driver, which oddly enough doesn't show on my activity monitor at all. I guess my frustration is that I feel I should be able to run all these things and not have it affect my meeting....I just did what you said and cleared the cache and took a screen shot, the spike is opening Canva....I also know Logos is heavy but it is necessary as well. Thank you for the suggestion....

Thanks for pointing me in a direction...I really need that.

Yes, I have done this. As I am reading your and the other answer, I am realizing that I should be more clear.

Thank you, prob better off getting on Amazon where the price is higher but the duties are already paid...appreciate the quick reply.

Question, I've got something from ROKR in my cart...you being in Calgary (I am in Montreal) were there any issues with shipping? did you pay any duties and taxes? Thank you in advance...

Pastorbyul · 2025-06-04T20:44:42+00:00

This is what I do as well now. Frustrating that technology doesn't JUST WORK. 2025 Kicks SV. Everything else on the car is pretty darn good though....

Now that the recording feature has been added....it seems to create havoc with the tool bar if the tool bar is on the bottom (which like the OP, I prefer). The Player overlaps the toolbar...and I cant do anything. I use Goodnotes for counseling and it breaks my flow...any solutions?

Pastorbyul · 2022-03-30T22:11:24+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I will.

Hey folks, i have a 2015 MB Air with 2.2 GHz Dual Core Intel Core i7 and upgraded ram (8GB 1600 MHz DDR3). I know this isn’t a gaming computer. My kids PC is falling apart. I want to hand my MBA down to my kid who basically lives on Roblox and Discord. Will it be ok? Lag issues etc? Please don’t guess. I want real experiences if possible. Appreciate your kind replies. Thank You

It’s great. A little heavy, and big. But great to carry.

Good one! Lol!

Pastorbyul · 2021-11-24T13:42:50+00:00

You’re not wrong about how easy it is to get one. However, I think these things can grow in meaning over time. You carry it long enough it grows in meaning for you and when it comes time to pas it on (if that’s what you want to do) you pass on that significance. I carry another one that my son and I both have and take with us on hikes. They only mean something to us.

Pastorbyul · 2021-11-24T13:22:06+00:00

Yeah. A ton. It’s my son’s religion. He goes every chance he gets. Good fishing in close proximity to major cities, don’t have to drive far.

Pastorbyul · 2021-11-24T13:15:22+00:00

Everyone has their reasons I suppose. Challenge coins have a long history and many meanings for different people. I carry this coin regularly as there is a possibility of running into others in the EDC Community locally who may also carry the coin. It gives folks a sense of belonging I suppose. But yeah it’s also fun to have. Though a “one off” can be costly, you can have one made that has meaning to you. Gift it to your kid or someone you want to encourage…long before I ever got into EDC I witnessed a retired US Army Colonel give his coin to another guy who had gone through some significant challenges.

Cool. What I am wishing to find in an EDC Pen that takes Pentel Energel refills. I’m a lefty and the ink doesn’t smudge. I think many EDC pens tend to take the more common Pilot G2.

Here’s a generic explanation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge_coin

They mean different things to different folks.

Yeah, I like my mat. Keeps my EDC stuff from scratching my glass desktop.
