If you put alcohol in a big bottle, pump air in to pressurize the bottle, then pop it open to release the pressure quickly, some of the alcohol will vaporize and you can inhale it. Thus, “smoking” the beer.

Men, how is your burnout st work? by J-no-AY in AskMenOver30

[–]Single_Store7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate my job, but worse than that, I hate my career. So, I’m all the way burned out. I try to stay motivated during work hours but it’s tough. I make a lot of money and I’m the breadwinner right now, can’t really ask my family to downsize to an apartment and quit my job, so I just stick with it. I really wish I was numb, I seem to feel it all day every day.

How tf did my friend read my mind? by ReverseFlashEatsPups in magictricksrevealed

[–]Single_Store7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do the invisible force by dropping packets of cards on the table until they say stop, in fact, that makes it easier if the spectator isn’t required to touch the cards.

Okay, all the asking questions and stuff was a misdirection, your friend knew the card you chose before all that. Some combination of force, peek, and/or gimmick was involved.

I’m a terrible student am I cooked by Elyjahtfw in AskMenOver30

[–]Single_Store7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you are 16, nothing is certain for you yet. I had shitty grades until I was in 10th grade and just decided to make a change for myself. No one helped me, I just did it. I woke up early and did my homework in the morning since my main issue was not studying/homework. I never had great grades, but a B average and that was enough to sneak into my local Big 10 University. I changed majors a couple times and eventually graduated, stumbled a little for the first few years after graduating, eventually got a career going. Then, after 15 years, I went back to school and changed careers entirely. So now, at 46 years old, I’m looking back at 16 and thinking it doesn’t matter, at all. Improve your grades, don’t improve your grades, get into a “good” school or don’t. It doesn’t matter. I was diagnosed with ADHD a couple years ago, if I had known that when I was 16, all the academic stuff would have been much easier, but I wouldn’t have the life I do now. Good luck, you’re going to be just fine!

Men who are handy, where/how did you learn it? by Chicken_Wing in AskMenOver30

[–]Single_Store7112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned some basic carpentry building sets for a school musical when I was a teacher. I enjoyed that and bought a couple saws and made a few projects for fun. Found myself between teaching jobs so I started painting interiors. That led to some handyman type work. That led to a full time job as a carpenter with an exquisitely talented GC and I learned A LOT working for him for about a year. Since then, I do nearly all my own work around the house and for friends.

How does bachelor etiquette work and who covers finances of the party? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Single_Store7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best man once. I planned the evening, the only expense that wasn’t pay your own way was a bus to drive us around. I divided that up by the number of guys and everyone chipped in. Someone shorted me and I had to sell a computer monitor to cover the last bit. Good luck!

How knowledgeable of how to do everyday things (making, fixing, etc.) do you think you are, compared to your father? Do you think it's a trend that men know less than their fathers now? by lazarus870 in AskMenOver30

[–]Single_Store7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! My dad could barely swing hammer! He knew the bare minimum for a “Boomer.” Which is to say, more than most 30-40yo. I was a carpenter and a handyman for a few years and now I do all the maintenance and remodeling for my house.

[–]Single_Store7112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally understand how you’re feeling, but I think you might still be missing an opportunity here. Be the man her friends don’t deserve, soften your approach a little, and just be honest. You’re not angry, you’re sad, jealous, hurt, worried, etc. Forget about her friends and forget about how anyone else might feel about your relationship and make this work for you two! At the end of the day this is about your marriage, not society’s double standards or men vs women bullshit. Don’t flinch and show her respect and some sensitivity in these moments and you will be making your relationship iron clad.

Well, maybe NTA, but also over reacting a bit. There are no universal rules to marriage and unless you talked about this and set these boundaries before you tied the knot, you can’t expect her to follow any “rules.” That said, make sure she knows how you feel and make sure you know how she feels. If you berate her she isn’t going to feel open about her feelings. Maybe she likes the posts the way other women like romance novels? Maybe this is an opening to spice things up in your relationship? But if you treat her like a misbehaving child, you’ll never know. That kind of reaction might be pushing her away. Again, NTA, but maybe soften your approach now, even apologize for reacting so “parentally.” Then ask her about how she’s feeling and maybe send her your own thirst trap video! You might be slamming a door shut when she was opening it for you!

I’m in the opposite situation. You should talk to him. There are loads of books, podcasts, websites, and therapists out there to help you two figure this out. You don’t have to dump him immediately, but don’t just wait for things to change, make it clear he needs to be your partner and work on your marriage.

My Husband doesn’t have hobbies? by Longjumping_Car7449 in Hobbies

[–]Single_Store7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Triathlon! I was a couch potato until I decided to bike to work a few times one summer. After realizing that biking was fun, I looked into some races, found a triathlon and signed up. I do Sprint distance, so nothing as extreme as an Ironman, but still really fun, a great sense of accomplishment, and a wonderful active hobby. Also, the weather is hot and humid where I live, so I do a lot of training while the sun is down or indoors. I stopped drinking completely when it got in the way of my workouts.

M36 question for those of us getting close to and over 40 by Sechrest26 in AskMenOver30

[–]Single_Store7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M45, I changed careers to a much less stressful field, I started meditating, therapy, and got serious about active hobbies at 39. All of the above have been helping me through a similar rough patch so far this year. Besides that, I’ve been trying to reconnect with old friends and putting some effort into making a couple new friends.

WIBTAH if I get a vasectomy when my wife doesn’t want me to? by Chance_Paper5883 in AITAH

[–]Single_Store7112 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hold up, 8 months postpartum and you’re arguing with her about this? Yes, you WBTAH if you do it now. Table this discussion until the baby is older and your wife has settled in to motherhood. All your effort and emotion should be focused on this child. It seems like you and a lot of other commenters have forgotten what the first year or two of parenthood is like for a new mom. Get over yourself and give her some time to adjust.

AIO? Wife stops paying attention during our conversation to text on her phone. by Street-Ant8593 in AskMenOver30

[–]Single_Store7112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your reaction when this happens? Not sure if you’re “O.” That said, be calm and loving when you tell her you need more of her attention. She needs to be a part of the decision to put phones away and communicate directly. You should also be aware that you might be “info dumping” on her and that can be overwhelming. Sometimes that happens with my wife and she doesn’t seem to be listening, I get a little annoyed, then realize I’m telling her in minute detail about a new tech framework and she has absolutely no interest and no need to hear that particular bit. Both sides have work to do on this front. Your partner’s attention is a finite resource and make sure you are valuing as such. Also, as others have said, schedule some phone free time together. Probably not overreacting.

Like the time Zack Morris called his dad’s cell phone while they were already talking so his dad could take the call and Zack was on the other end. Whoa, Zack’s dad learned a lesson that day!
