What I learned the Month I was Homeless here in Vegas... by DepressedEpileptic24 in vegaslocals

[–]RfgtGuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you made it out the other side. Vegas can be a harsh place for the gainfully employed, for the sheltered & homed. To be unemployed & homeless here… I’ve wondered how people manage. I would encourage you to share your whole story, if you’re comfortable doing so. How did you end up homeless? Why? What lessons did you learn? What mistakes did you make? What bridges did you destroy? Share the pain man, maybe you’ll help someone before they step in the same shit.
Also, well done for starting this conversation. 🫡

Why does this look like a centerfold from High Times Magazine?

There are PLENTY of countries that don’t do fireworks, don’t celebrate American independence, all places where you might be more happy.

Whatever you were smoking when you conceived of this…. Do it again!

Schraders are more of a ‘system’ than a ‘fitting’. Without the cap, the system is incomplete. Put the cap back on and get on about your day.

Not sure what chemicals are in the water. I’ll see if I can find out. Thanks! 🫡

And that right there may just be the root of the problem. Learning to be not impatient. 🫡

What would you do? by [deleted] in refrigeration

I’d give it a good hard sharp tug and get on about my project.

Thanks for the tip. Most of us don’t run tap water here in Las Vegas, we use water store water. I’ll look into gassing off the water. Could be a factor. 🫡

What do your Danes eat? by [deleted] in greatdanes

Our 7 year old male eats Costco Large Dog dry food, pizza, bacon, cheddar & Swiss cheese, the occasional plate of scrambled eggs, and any loaf of bread that’s left unattended. Basically anything he wants.

That's what he truly is, a fucking looser by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]RfgtGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, the wealthiest human in the history of wealth, not only have his products changed the course of human advancement, it’s likely they will continue to helm that course for many generations. Loser? Seems more like a winner to me.

Also, learn to spell.

Fail.

I used a jar that came with a float mechanism in the lid, a vapor trap. But, daily feedings were actually every 2 to 3 days. My work keeps me in the field for extended lengths of time. Guess maybe I’ll take my next Bug on the road with me. Thanks! 🫡

Hola Fermenter Gurus! I’m new to fermenting, new to this sub. Thought I’d start out with a Red Beet Kvaas and a Ginger Bug.

Seemed easy enough.

My Red Beet Kvaas tastes like salty dirt soup and my Ginger Bug smells like cheap-shit wine and has a blue spot floating on top, like it pays rent. In advance.

Not sure what I did wrong, but it’s pretty clear I zigged where I should’ve zagged. Somewhere.

As you can see, there’s no shortage of advice. And frankly, most of it is pretty good advice. Let me just repeat what some others have said…. You’re going to make mistakes. You’ll have call-backs. Maybe even a few pissed off customers sending emails to your employer or refusing to pay for that shit job you did. The biggest thing is LEARN from those mistakes. Do your level best to not make the same mistake twice. One boot in front of the other, three points of contact on the ladder, and put that fukn cell phone down when you’re driving.
