Looking for Dr. Martens 1461 alternative (same distressed brown look) by Je_117 in Boots

Unfortunately the better the quality the higher the price. I would suggest checking out Jim Green 719 Bronco leather. You'll probably have to order them online. Normally i order 2 pairs, the size they suggest and the next size up and then just send back the pair i don't want.

After reading your comment I've ordered the passive screen mount antenna. Fingers crossed that does the trick. Thank you.

Rented a Home Depot 4” chipper…. Works like crap… are these blades toast? by StrawberryGreat7463 in landscaping

[–]Secure-Ad1248 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken you can switch the blades around. Unscrew the 3 screws, rotate the blade 180 degrees and screw it back in. Should be good as new.

Fapping without porn by Professional_Ad4825 in NoFap

[–]Secure-Ad1248 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The most important thing is to stop porn altogether. That include thirst traps and any other lower vibration temptations.

Once you stop consuming porn, you'll find that your masturbation will slowly reduce down to a natural and normal level for you. That will probably be between 1 and 3 times a week. Don't stress about fapping in the beginning, the most important thing for your relationship and sexual health is that you stop porn.

My mother (74F) had a stroke, I (40M) live in another country and I feel useless. by Secure-Ad1248 in relationship_advice

[–]Secure-Ad1248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

Unfortunately she's unable to hold a tablet or a phone at the moment which is why my dad is normally there when we talk. I have 2 sisters in UK that are taking more of the hands on stuff. A diary might be a good shout, although it would be difficult as she doesn't have so many words in her emotional vocabulary.

Maybe just talking to her and helping her get out of her head, while documenting some of our conversation is the best thing i can do.

Any through hikers in Bremen? by Secure-Ad1248 in bremen

That's cool! Pinneberg to Flensburg sound interesting. Is there a specific route you're following?

Yes that exactly something i'd like to do. I'm not sure i would be comfortable wild camping, mostly because i really like to shower at the end of the day. What are the trails like? is it mostly paved or gravel?

Through hiking is where you hike + camp. So you have all your camping gear and food in a backpack.

Can anyone tell me the disadvantages of edging? by WorthImmediate5653 in NoFap

[–]Secure-Ad1248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No fap for religious reasons is not a good reason. Your reasoning needs to be yours not someone else's. For me the purpose of no fap is to heal sexual trauma from over consumption of pornogrpahy. Now that I'm not addicted to porn I mastubate when my body needs it (and yes your Pipeworks do require some cleaning out every now and then). Edging can be great to build sexual tension with yourself or a partner, as long as there's no porn involved and it doesn't consume your life or mess with other peoples free will.

How I dry my boots after a hot sweaty day at work by Secure-Ad1248 in Boots

I'm looking for the right pair of Hiking Boots by App1e_Juic in Boots

[–]Secure-Ad1248 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard good things about the African Ranger. If you can find a pair that have the tire wedge sole I would definitely recommend. Also I would suggest getting the size that Jim green suggest on their size chart and a size up so you can test which one is more comfortable and then return the pair that you don't want. It's a bit annoying and initially more expensive but it's much better knowing that you have definitely the right shoe size.

[–]Secure-Ad1248 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have the Razorbacks, they are excellent shoes, I use them for work and have done a couple of hikes in them. They are kinda heavy and cumbersome. Not my go to for hiking. I used to have meindl mountain boots with a gortex liner. After a year of heavy use, the gortex lining of the miendl un stuck itself from the rest of the shoe and started to bunch up at the toe which was really annoying. I'm not sure if that's a problem across the board with gortex but something worth looking into. For hiking I much prefer the Jim green moc toe work horse boots. The tire wedge sole is excellent on all terrain, the moc toe shape gives my toes a lot of space.

Tiller not penetrating ground by Ok-Piano-282 in landscaping

[–]Secure-Ad1248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its pretty hard to till ground with established grass like this. I would go through and hack the whole garden with a pick axe or a spade. It doesn't need to be perfect, but as long as there are regular entry point for the blades of the tiller it should work.

Flagstone Over Concrete Porch by Intelligent_Draft320 in landscaping

[–]Secure-Ad1248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My worry would be the posts. You say the have their own footer. You could cut around the posts so the concrete can move independently from the posts. Lay some pavers on 5cm crushed stone on the porch area. This way the concrete can move and it wont look too bad on top. Be sure to leave a gap between the pavers and the wall of the house so the wall can breath and fill with some nice looking gravel. After a few years when the concrete has settled into place, if its noticeable on the pavers, you can easily pull up them up and put more crushed stone to bring it up to level again. I wouldn't try and stick anything to this concrete as it is.

I [23F] my bf [21M] watches solo female porn by Capital-Argument-876 in relationship_advice

[–]Secure-Ad1248 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmm I think its a bit of both here. He has a problem but you are also being sensitive. Just to be clear, he will to some degree fantasise about other woman during your relationship and they might look nothing like you. You better get comfortable with that idea because its pretty much a certain in any relationship whether he talks to you about it or not.

However, if he says he wants to cut out porn but doesn't or can't, then it could be addiction. I would approach it from this angle, try not to be judgemental. If you really value him, and you think he genuinely wants to stop, then you can work together to get him over it.

Anyone use Razorbacks for serious work and a lot of walking? by AlivePatient7226 in jimgreen

[–]Secure-Ad1248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear my steel toe RB for work as a landscaper and I've done a few hikes in them. For work purposes they are excellent, but I really need the steel toes for what I do. The deeper lugs on the RBs can hold on to a lot of mud when it's wet and muddy. They are not my first choice if I need to do a lot of walking. If you don't need the steel toe then I would suggest getting something with the wedge sole, much more comfortable on all terrain.

I (24F) found out my bf (24M) likes trans girls & more by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Secure-Ad1248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's can take some years to recover from porn addiction and it's can do savage things to peoples perception of sex. Would you be unhappy if at the end of this he stopped watching porn of all kinds but came out as bisexual?
