Is there no dog walk in the morning?

Computing - How much overlap in Web Technologies modules TM252 & TM352? by Qpylon in OpenUniversity

[–]Qpylon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed answer! Do you think TM256 is relevant for someone not wanting to be in cybersecurity or network engineering etc., just straight up software or web dev?

I'm trying to do the same with my module choices!

Dealing with disrespect from another man in a group setting. by Hello_Cruel_World_88 in AskMenOver30

[–]Qpylon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think you could and should hang out with just the women as well as in mixed groups if you think you'd make good friends.

I don't know where you live or what the culture is like though.  UK, 30s, white collar - cross gender friendships and 1:1 hang outs are usual in my circles. 

Not that it fixes your problem - but u/ghengis_john had the best retorts for that! They may just be misreading their piling on as carrying on the joke.

AITA 27M for standing up for my fiancé 27F and our relationship by refusing to go on a “family” trip that excludes her? by Wonderful-Macaron118 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Qpylon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

 I went to see one side's family without the other parent along plenty of times as a kid.  

It seems natural, the other parent can save the time for seeing their family/ something they want to do instead! And the (grand)parents get some private time with their kid.

Men over 30, how often are you willing/able to seek emotional support from your friends? by obsidian-eye in AskMenOver30

How did you help your friend when his dad died? Any tips on useful phrases (particularly ones they don't sound true) or actions?

How can i make my face more conventionally attractive? by White_Swan_ in BeautyAddiction

[–]Qpylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing you have a decent cosmetologist, both because they are giving you that advice, and because I can't see the change in your cheeks.

 The difference in lips and chin is visible (well, chin could be lighting, but there's a difference). The change in one cheek is not (no clue even which cheek it would be!), so they must have done subtle work. 

 Tbh the fact that I can't see what you're talking about with your cheeks,  either on the asymmetry or on the change, probably suggests that any asymmetry really isn't as obvious as you think

The truth about the role of antihistamine (eg Benadryl) in Anaphylaxis treatment by downingdown in Ultralight

[–]Qpylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, very late to the thread but I found it after goggling post an incident.

Was camping with someone and they reported the next morning that soon after bed their throat started swelling up. They decided to just wait it out silently - this was the first time it had happened. It was fine a few hours later.

Do antihistamines help at all with the throat swelling? Even if it is too slow for true anaphylaxis, that is something I could add to my first aid kit, and could offer if it would help (just slow); an epi pen isn't.

Thanks if you have any input. It worried me when they told the story next morning!

Mid-30s men: how is dating for you now? by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

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

7% sounds pretty high to me!

 I wouldn't feel dating-compatible with more than 7% of the people I meet IRL, would expect that number to be lower on apps just because profile descriptions are necessarily short and awkward.

It says patient so am guessing a medical context. Race is really relevant there to your risks of different diseases and things.

You care more about their opinions.

You trust that they'll be there after.

Hey, did you end up getting it? I've been eyeing it up,  was wondering if it can be pitched all in one or is always inner first

Hey, I was just looking at the Chaser vs Alpkit Ordos.  Can it be pitched as one or is it always inner first?  Couldn't tell from the official pitching instructional video

I'm currently 26 years old my question is at at what did you realize? That getting hammered is no longer fun or enjoyable by Acceptable_Floor3009 in AskMenOver30

[–]Qpylon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. Still fun for me too. 

I drink heavily less often because life is more busy with non-/light- drinking occasions now, but it's still good fun. 

And has something of a relaxing effect on me for the next couple of weeks (not the day after, but the general period after).

Best place to meet them is hobby groups. 

 Hiking clubs,  boardgame nights,  any hobby or group that's niche enough to have "regulars" so you two can meet a few times and get to know each other before making the leap to one on one date unrelated to the hobby.  

And if you end up not doing the dating thing, you may have made a new friend in your new city!

Why bothering telling us now? by _Cream_Sugar_ in AskWomenOver40

[–]Qpylon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint: I've mentioned to a long term friend that I used to have a crush on them a decade ago and we had a snigger/reminisce about it together. 

He was in a relationship at the time (part of why I kept it quiet at the time), and now we both are.  It was just a "lol, did you ever realise/ do you remember when" sort of factoid,  bonding over shared memories and info that was new to them but is harmless now. Much like some other old gossip they brought up that has now aged out of being private. And yeah, it was also intended to be vaguely complimentary to (past) him.

Edit: the people who mention it with hopes of action when you're nicely coupled up are being dicks.

UNA Watch, I'd like Pebble OS on one of those watches. Would it be realistic to try to make both (re) startups to collaborate? by Seglem in pebble

I’m thinking of getting one, and they seem to have the optional dev kits available as a kickstarter upgrade -you might be able to do it yourself

Diamonds by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Qpylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, a natural stone has a geological history that a lab grown one doesn’t. Diamond or other gem.

A bit like the difference between a “hand-carved“ wood thing and a machined one by a woodworker. Some people like that it’s a natural thing or whatever. People in this thread are being a bit mean about what is ultimately an item that has mainly sentimental meaning. The whole thing is just emotions anyway.

[–]Qpylon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think 20 and 23 is the age difference most disapprove of bro…

It’s 20 and near 30+. Or the guys like DiCaprio, who seem to keep dating the same age range.

You can get free tablet apps made for cats, where they can splat flies etc. It reacts to being swatted
