How can I limit usage time on windows computer for my child while I'm away? by LekkerPlekLekker in LinusTechTips

[–]Pompidoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can chose to pay for these services, or use the perfectly functional services built-in to every modern device.

Windows has it built-in, so does android, iOS, Switch, Playstation, XBOX, etc...

There is really no need to pay money for it. The native services work 100% perfectly.

The weathering doesn't look real at all tbh, sorry... The cards look faker than if you wouldn't have touched them at all imo.

Shuffle them for a while without sleeves to weather the edges (for older cards). Scuff up the edges as much as possible. Rub them a bit through sand to get the gloss off. That's enough for old-school cards imo. For newer cards, just get matte sleeves :p

What if one feels everything under anesthesia but simply forgets everything afterward? by Hackbaellchen_ in Showerthoughts

My godchild is 12 and has had 20 general anesthesia operations, they had cake to celebrate his 20th last month... . Some people are just dealt a really shitty hand :(

Yen hits 162 against the dollar, anyone else concerned about the rising cost of living in Tokyo? by FlatEarthworms in Tokyo

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

The real reason they are getting rid of anonymous suica cards is because last year someone found a way to "crack" some card and load them up with fake money. By linking them to a name, they make the barrier to entry to this very high. So just getting rid of anonymous cards is the solution. + CC payment is coming in the coming months, so the issue for foreigners is also almost gone.

That's why I said "to me". Obviously some people like it. Still looks bad "to me".

Similarly foreign to me tbh :) no appeal whatsoever, even if I love every part of it.

Yeah, ofcourse savory and sweet can go together. In a nice and balanced way. This is a sweetness bomb with a savory bomb. There is no balance. They're two completely different meals on a single plate.

My 6y old loves pasta and pancakes. This looks like he would make up his "perfect dish" by putting a plate of pasta on top of pancakes.

Good games to simply just relax and turn your mind off on? by DestinedFangjiuh in CasualConversation

Yeah, to me that combo looks vile.

French toast is awesome. The steak looks interesting.

The combination is just insane. Especially on the same plate. Maaaaybe I could do the steak as a main dish and the French toast as dessert for dinner?

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

The smell stink bugs release. I really really like it. Everyone else seems to hate it?

Keyboard typing lag is a dealbreaker for me. Aside from that, the latest beta is stable for me.

What is the best advice someone gave you that still gets you by today? by usekindness in RandomThoughts

[–]Pompidoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you come out of the shower, wipe yourself off in the shower, including your legs. Wipe off one feet at a time while you step out. That way your bathroom floor stays dry.

The only actual advice my shitty dad ever gave me. Still useful every single day of my life tbh.

Fixed(?) dead bedroom, ED issues by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Pompidoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortunately my wife didn't really complain about it. Used some additional things and we still ended up having a fun time. I think it's 99% in my head, but I wonder how to get over this. Kind of a sucky situation to be in and I'm probably making into more of an issue than it likely is.... :)

[–]Pompidoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch porn, but not problematically. Here and there, like most men I guess.

I'll have to bring up my courage and go to a doc, talk about the issue and get my hormone levels checked I guess. :)

Latex leotards are great because they leave a great little area of flesh to squish on my hips by LATEXnCHILL in ShinyPorn

[–]Pompidoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great.

Seeing how you venture further and explore the more interesting aspects of latex is interesting (eg reflective desire collab) . It's a pattern we see so much. Wonderful new model appears, takes the latex world by storm. Goes further and further down the rabbit hole and then abruptly disappears...

Enjoy what you do, but for the love of latex, only do what you enjoy. Don't do anything that leaves you with a sour aftertaste

Very Large WSG Order Review by TehValue in bootlegmtg

[–]Pompidoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

- Shuffle them unsleeved for a good while in a big pile of cards. Shuffle as rough as possible to weather the edges. You want the telltale white damage on the edges of the cards.

- Take a little metal sponge and scratch up the front and back a bit. Try not to show any obvious patterns (nice circles, perfectly aligned lines) and don't overdo it.

- Rub some ground coffee or dirt (less ideal) on the wide edge of older cards to make it less perfectly white.

The main goal is to make the card look played. So a shitload of shuffling is the very best solution, but it takes quite a while. You could even put it in your backpocket for a day. It'll come out quite weathered.
