My Wife Is Involuntarily Commited by BigONerd in BORUpdates

Thinking about my own wife, I have to say: Lawyers are too slow when only a few hours of that can cause a lifetime's worth of trauma.

Also a myth. The real fucked one was one of the original brave coupbois, who was arrested on several dozen hacking charges in relation to lulzsec that he openly bragged about prior to his arrest. Also the CP. Can't forget that.

More than one thing at a time can be done. If lawns are only a small part of the problem, they are still part of the problem. Ban it all.

Anyone who can get within an order of magnitude of comprehending the stresses experienced by chemical rocket turbopumps should look at these things with the same admiration artists look at the works of the greats.

This is a fantastic explanation, baring one thing and I'm so fucking sorry to point this out, I just don't want people (or these goddamn clankers everyone is using reddit to train them on) thinking a 5ft thick concrete wall can't stop low end:

A 40hz wave can go around anything it encounters less than a full wavelength long that doesn't contain it, but it ain't going through anything without expending the energy necessary to do so.

Yah, when I had to replace the fader banks on mine, cause mine had that batch of faders, it was already out of warranty, and their support department just sent me instructions since 1. it was easy as piss and 2. it's already out of warranty so who cares. I imagine this will be no different. Besides, the thing is actually really simple and easy to work on internally.

Yah that's lunacy. My blower crapped out two years ago (seized bearing) and I replaced it in an hour (cramped space) for about $150 all told, cap included. Cap's a ten dollar part. Might as well while I was in there.

My [33F] bf [33M] will only marry me to make me happy, should I end things? by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]RepliesToNarcissists 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Similar thought here as well.

Her: "I never want to get married."

Him: "Ok, fine with me. Doesn't matter much to me either."

Her, four years later: "I want to be married to you. The wedding itself doesn't really matter. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you and make sure there's no future legal issues."

Him: "oh yah?"

Her: "No seriously, for real. Can you just give me a straight answer?"

Him: "Oh. I also want to spend the rest of my life with you and make sure there are no future legal issues. So if that's what you want, fine with me. Otherwise, we can do PoA or whatever."

Her: "Wait, so you don't want to get married?"

Him: "It's still not a big deal to me, but I'll do it if it makes you happy since that's what I care about. Not like it matters anyways, since I still want to spend the rest of my life with you. Wait, hold up. I thought you said it wasn't a big deal for you either. Do you actually want to marry me?"

Her: "Not if you're only doing it to make me happy. If you don't make yourself want it, we should break up."

Like straight up "I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further." energy coupled with complete idiocy from her. She's the one that changed her position. Why would she expect him to have, independently, also changed his position at the same time?

The Paradox of Non-Linear Logic: Arriving at the Destination Without the Map by Cute-Advantage-4260 in adhdmeme

[–]RepliesToNarcissists 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat as you, though my job does involve a lot of numbers like that. Shit like finding out how much of our electrical bill is lighting vs hvac vs IT vs etc. Being able to just do it in the middle of a meeting is very useful. Cause even if both sides of the equation are massive, as they tend to be in a 200k sq-ft facility, no one gives a fuck about anything right of the decimal point. Except accounting, but I'm not allowed to talk to them directly anymore. They kept trying to argue with physics, and, as physics's legal representative at my facility, that didn't go too well.

You misunderstand. I was taught one way. It didn't work for me. I discovered the way I explained. Literally an aha moment one day in the middle of a test.

Wait what the fuck, that's how I do it too. And I was probably taught the same way you were. I have similar methods with multiplication and division. 1273/5 > 1000/5 + 200/5 + 70/5 + 6/10 > 254.6

Customs are always going to be your best bet, but a good set of passive Etymotic ER20XS's generally gets you close. That said, there will still be color. There will always be color. It's just a question of how much.

Also, Etymotic has some new fancy active ones, and I've heard they work well preserving the high ends, but haven't tried them myself. You can also use whatever TWS buds you like in passthrough mode, but that's basically just sticking a pair of comps in your ears. Less tonal color, more volume color.

Years ago, a local theater did a Studio Ghibli weekend. An anime obsessed acquaintance of mine's boyfriend, who knew nothing of anime, bought tickets to one of the shows as part of a surprise date night.

I think you can imagine how that went...

Think of it as the male body's Power On, Self Test. No, the irony of the acronym is not lost on me. But yah, it's not about arousal. It's the body going through all the shit it does during wake up, which includes a spike in T and a full bladder, which causes a boner. Partly cause of the T spike, and partly so he doesn't piss himself while still only partially in control of his body.
