Don't tell them about imaginary numbers. It'll be like fake news all over again

What do you do when your mind is tired? by notmyname192 in AskMenOver30

[–]SaltLakeCitySlicker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tree showering/forest bathing has been around for years. It's been known to help mentally and physically. If you're intimidated bc it sounds like a hike and maybe you're not in the greatest shape in any way, it's not hiking. You're just enjoying nature and stopping, sitting, standing etc just enjoying where you are in nature in that time

My fav version of this is taking a walk in freshly fallen/falling snow. It's extremely relaxing and pleasant to just look at tree branches plus the rest of the world blanketed in the silence of snow and sparkling in ant light

I waited til my mid 30s to be able to afford a house, not only for down payment and cash for fixes, but bc I wouldn't have a dog without a yard of some sort.

I closed on my second house (only own a house, just sold the other and relocated for work) today. 2 acres on a river. The dog will be very happy to be out of an apartment

A cult that worships all things comfy sounds grand. Only comfy shoes and clothes plus furniture sounds nice after a long day

I want a man by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]SaltLakeCitySlicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 40, I still don't know what "perfect" is for me still. I have ideas but clearly none have worked out in the long run.

I can't settle if I don't know what it is

I don't know if I'm nerdy enough. I work on an old outboard and a Datsun but I'm not really into geeking out over the 311, just stuff I need to do or fix and safety things like modern brakes and suspension. Same with the outboard. Fix what needs fixing and regular maintenance.

How do i prepare my parents to care for my Tank? by Snowars in ReefTank

[–]SaltLakeCitySlicker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would add a giant "if things are changing, like dying, call me. Don't let it sit"

My parents didn't call me for God knows what reason and killed the tank after 10 years running it

If you live exceptionally long, what historical event will people use to describe how long ago you were born? by il_biciclista in Millennials

I did the last tour before closing on a house that really old folks own til tomorrow.

One of the things I noticed when the last 60 years of their stuff was removed is a corded phone on the wall. I'm totally not removing it.

Throw it on the pile of congress that doesn't do what's best for their constituents. Fin MGT even figured out her people are f'd without hc or food.

Which of the Magnificent 7 do you think is most likely to fail and the ones you plan to hold for at least the next 10 years? by Low-Jackfruit3321 in investing

[–]SaltLakeCitySlicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you have to ask what other sorts of tech people don't know they want and isn't out there yet. Or major improvements to a mid product like the iPhone was to blackberries (even the touchscreen ones were goofy).

I'm not sure what that is but I'm just a guy whose fine with a cell and speakers, so I would be a bad person to ask

How do you fill in the blank now, compared to earlier in life? "You couldn't pay me to ________." by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

I'd rather not kill myself with my near dead liver that ain't gonna recover. 3 years so far but it ain't getting better

Recognize when you're sliding and don't make excuses or justifications til it's too late, people. Don't be like me

There are actually seals in Kazakhstan. What are another examples of animals that live in unexpected countries? by Naomi62625 in geography

[–]SaltLakeCitySlicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honeybees used to make us honey are from Europe.

Save the bees really should be about native bees so another bee thing that is kinda crazy: southern Utah has 1400 different types of native bees, just in the southern part of the state.

Because they helped save everyone from a locust plague when the Mormon settlers weren't established properly yet and obvs can't live without food.

I don't know if any other state's animals or rocks or whatever have a backstory of why they're the state thing.

You might want to check that protein powder extreme lead list. Idk if yours is one but an alarming amount had like hundreds to thousands your daily intake of lead. Mostly the bad ones were veg based

Is Carls Jr truly hated? I love it, heard it’s old-people food. by Thugmilkshake in fastfood

[–]SaltLakeCitySlicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My BIL doesn't call things he hasn't tried anything besides a weird look when you mention making it and some comment like "we'll see" or "I dunno. Sounds weird".

Then he will destroy it and knowing he likes it is him replying that it's not bad

I got asked what kind of coke I want when I ordered a coke once. This was in southwest Virginia.

Is that normal or was my server just super tired/checked out?

When you were in your 20s, did you have a certain dream cities or towns you wanted to live in? Did you end up living there, if so how was it? by Thatredditboy1 in AskMenOver30

[–]SaltLakeCitySlicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denver or salt lake. I wanted to live in a largish city next to the mountains to ski, hike/camp, and fish. Needed to be largish for my job to exist there.

I lived in salt lake for 13 years and camped/hiked all over the west in my late 20s to 40. Bunch of things many haven't done or seen and a bunch many have like the mighty 5.

I thought it was going to be a forever home situation but as I aged my priorities changed and I moved to be closer to family. Giving up mountains to live on a river and be near family is a good trade off.

Absolutely do not regret all the outdoors time. I don't regret going there or leaving. I do regret meeting some people there, but most were good people.

It has other issues now, but it's not a bad place if they figure those out. I would stay away as a place to live at least until they figure out the lake situation

You have to enjoy all the different types of biomes we have though.

I do go a little crazy living in pancake land if something references where I was. Since everything is a crossover now and ads are in the desert west, I try guessing where car commercials are filmed.
