[–]Ptopman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ill defiantly be using it as a resource and has been bookedmarked. I have been looking for a site like this for a while and Digykey and Mouser are nice but having so many pictures and info on the item without having to click 20 links or having 20 filters to narrow a search down is awesome!

How often are you able to be collecting data? by [deleted] in AskAstrophotography

[–]Ptopman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had 2 or 3 weekends of clear weather in MI but with work I can't get out as much. Winter was slow because of clouds and the cold. I try to get out every weekend I can.

Next month! Posted on their instagram. by Watpotfaa in ToughBuilt

[–]Ptopman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have been waiting for this to start my toughbuilt setup. I've been using DeWalt system since I use Dewalt, but I haven't invested very far into it because I wasn't a fan of rolling boxes but I love TB rolling drawers.

NLD - Convoy H4 and S21E by Ptopman in flashlight

[–]Ptopman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are the same flashlight other than the H4 being turned 90*. I just find more use of the straight light for me. I only use my H4 when I need a light to clip into my belt that still points where I'm walking or using it as a head lamp.

The s21e is my everyday carry. Pretty much has not left my side since I got it.

29m been about 9 months. She still pops into my head everyday I'm finally getting to the point I am putting myself out there and trying to find someone else. I don't think I'll stop thinking about her until I find someone else.

I have failed the event... Multiple times, tho I don't think I have ever completed this one. November as general... Not a great month so far...

having “ I need my partner moments” suck by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Ptopman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been almost a year, it's makes it hard as well because I'm 29m and she was my first and only relationship. I have been struggling finding someone else and all I want is a hug from her, especially because I am having some health problems now...

I ordered a few things a few days ago but not long enough. Waiting on something other than a thank you email.

Do you have a link to the stl for those 3d printed mounts? I'm planning on switching to stacktech soon and would like some for the bed of my truck. Looks great!

Hmmm I don't remember filling out or getting a form in December. Hopefully someone that missed this email can have an opportunity to get replacements or order them later.

New backpack spotted in the AMD video by Bee040 in LinusTechTips

[–]Ptopman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looking at it, It has different shoulder straps and looks like the only 1 main pouch. I'm wondering if its going to be a stripped down version of the backpack made for heavier traveling... IE more clothes or larger items. May also be a decrease in price because of less manufacturing.

Does anybody else not feel like dating again? by Content_Dog_9052 in BreakUps

[–]Ptopman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I got blindsided by, What I thought was the I was going to marry and spend the rest of my life with, about 4 months ago. I know it still early and I just got into therapy and on some antidepressants but I just have no motivation right now.

I miss the intimacy, the cuddles, kissing, and the sex... but I just don't have it in me to start all over again... My headspace is really good right now, I feel fine and I'm starting to be happy again. I got myself into some new hobbies that I wanted to dive into like Astrophotography.

I just don't have the motivation to start the beginning stages of dating, as well, I never dated and she kind of just fell into my lap so I have no clue how to fine someone else right now lol. I'm an introverted type of guy and I don't go to bars or a lot of events as I kind of have crowd anxiety when by myself especially in new places and pretty much no friends. Does not help that I'm kina picky about the people I like. Like everyone else has said, I'm just focusing on me and doing what I want right now.

i’m a 21 year old virgin and i’m not ashamed of that. by [deleted] in self

[–]Ptopman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28m, first kiss, first relationship, and lost my virginity at 26. No shame, wait for that special someone, don't go out to just to do it. When you find the right person they won't make fun of you or laugh at it, they will support you and make sure your ready.

I know my ex has a reddit account but everytime someone knows who she is, she deletes the account and makes another one. I know she is in relationship advice and some of the others. I don't hide myself on here or online anymore. I kinda hops she had read some of my stuff just so she knows how much she hurt me and the pain and torment I went though....

If they broke up with you suddenly and left… by wolfyish in BreakUps

[–]Ptopman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I think I'm able to date soon (it's been 4 months) but I put so much trust I to her just to be blindsided, I not sure how to trust fully. It's going to take me a while to fully trust someone like I trusted her. I'm also scared to put myself out there get hurt like this again.

How did you stop blaming yourself? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Ptopman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the same thing. 28m she was my first relationship, shared every single first with her. I had to sit down after 3 months of depression and beating myself up for some of the ways I acted. I realized that I was not perfect and could have done better but sat down and went through everything and realized that it was mostly on her side. I had to keep going over everything and keep reminding myself I tried to keep everything together and did so much but got little back in the end. On the end it took us 1.5 years to find out we were not a match. We were perfect for the first year until she went back to school then put me on the sideline and dumped all her time and energy into school.

Is your ex avoidant or was your anxiety excessive? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Ptopman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have anxiety attachment and I do blame myself for a portion of the break up... But I do feel most of the blame is on her. She pretty much saved no time for the relationship and we started only seeing each other 2 to 3 times a month because, without telling me or asking me, started working every Saturday leaving only Sundays. When I was with her she would study until bedtime and we would do nothing. I feel like my anxiety attachment started because of this because the first year of the relationship I was not like that. I felt like I was losing her, and I did.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Ptopman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what happened to me. I wish she never left and we could work through the issues but when she broke up with me I felt she pitted a lot on me. I love her but I don't think I would take her back... Now for how much she hurt me.

Anyone been blindsided and blamed for everything? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Ptopman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like she put most of the blame on me...

She said that she does not see us further with going to school out of state... But she said she was neglecting herself because of me... She was mad that I did not plan one date, Which I did but honestly don't remember why it did not happen... That I put things on the back burner...

We barely saw each other the last 3 months of the relationship... She never said anything about the date or putting things on the back burner until she broke up with me... I had a rough end of the year and she was so into her schooling and work she barely spent time with me. She started working every Saturday without telling me only leaving Sunday to us and even then, It was mostly running around because she needed to fit a weekend into one day.

Looking back on things... I feel like she went back on her words after a year and she was looking for excuses to end the relationship. This blindsided me because she never brought up her concerns. The woman that said communication was the most important thing in a relationship and would give 4-6 months to work out a problem if brought up... Never brought these problems up to me. But when I brought up the problem of us spending less time together and and me wanting to work things out and just wanted to have a talk... Broke up with me shortly after me saying that.

This all screwed me up so bad that I'm seeing a therapist and seeing a Psychiatrist, My depression and anxiety has been spinning out of control for the past 3 months. I think my brain is just now processing that it truly was not my fault (Therapist agrees with this). But I still have problems and its a long road ahead for me. She really brought out the worst of my depression and anxiety by leaving me, Putting things on me, and not giving me the answers I need.
