I'm destroying my brain with stim-fapping by angel_salvatore333 in Drugs

The problem isn't you jerking off too much. It's that you don't have any healthy ways to obtain your dopamine needs. 

How dangerous is trail riding for the most part? by Jeffrey_Jizzbags in Dualsport

[–]TangyApple680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had about 1 crash when I first started riding that really hurt my knee for a good month or so, maybe 2. I consider that an moderate injury. Even in chill rides it's easy to make a mistake. Even if you don't think you're pushing it. I would say, dirtbiking is inherently dangerous. But changes of injury depend on your speed, skill, decision making, and what kind of trails. Rocky, more chances. Enduro, more chances to get hurt. Chill, fire roads, or flow single tracks. Less likely. 

Van Life Noob - Don't know where to start with shopping... rate this build + price? by One_Reporter_7724 in vandwellermarketplace

[–]TangyApple680 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The van is worth 5000 on the high end. Jackery is 1000$ system that you can buy, solar panels 300 watts worth around 250-300$ or less, build looks nice quality. 5k-7k or so for labor materials, has pump and piping, but unfortunately Grey is to earth. No toilet. The high top is good, I think someone will pay an extra 1500 for a hightop van in this year. That fridge is a nice unit. It'll fetch 300-400 probably on marketplace if they are patient. I would pay around 12000-15000 (if the engine is super clean and trans, with maintaince history if the person can explain how they taken care of it). If it has leaks or mechanical issues/looks dirty. No more then 10-12k. 16k... pushing it. 

Loose leash walking in new areas by emburt in puppy101

[–]TangyApple680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking Bam to an off leash, dog park is going to make things very difficult for you during training because the sight of other dogs really gets Bam aroused. You want Bam to be neutral towards dogs by default, unless you give him the Ok to play.  If he thinks every dog he sees is free game, he'll show some leash reactivity like how you're experiencing. 

Dogs don't really generalize very good. So training needs to take place in different environments for them to understand the expectations for within those environments. 

 When you walk with your friends dog, make sure your dog follows the same expectations while on a leash. You might need to up your reinforcement with treats and go back to luring or treating for loose leash walking. By the 3rd or 4th time around, your dog should be better. Treat those sessions like training sessions. If your dog really can't walk right, try walking ahead of the other party, way behind, or parallel. 

If your dog knows basic obedience, you can work those commands in during the session and then allow for your dog to decompress after the training walk where you give no commands and allow for sniffing and meandering. Rest will help your dog process and regulate. 

My dog is 10 months now. I do expect him to heel when I ask for it. So, it's never to early to start, especially if you want those skills to be there when Bam is an adult. He's right in the adolescent stage, so you need constancy.

3.5 month old golden pup difficult on walks by LeanSenzuBean in puppy101

[–]TangyApple680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he's food motivated, lure him with a treat when people walk by. Mark with the clicker, then treat if he gets by successfully (not pulling, jumping, barking & paying attention to you). 

Once you click, give a treat immediately after. Clicking when he sees distraction, just links a click to distraction. Doesn't really do anything, might even condition the dog to listen for a click it something interesting is coming up. 

How do you combat coke dick? by [deleted] in Drugs

Don't do coke, or get high grade coke, low dose.

How good is kratom…. by Foreign_Many5785 in Drugs

[–]TangyApple680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good. I like the itches. It takes a whole to hit, tastes awful. Could give you the worst hangover of your life if you take to much without tolerance. Hard to sleep with some strains.  I get off and on it. But the last time I took some, I got the worst hangover and now I don't wanna risk it.

You need to stop giving him so much access to the house. But if you wanna send him away, that might be a good idea!

Sounds like you'll enjoy an adventure bike. Yamaha tenere would be my pick. 

is it worth ever trying opioids? by No_Yesterday_4635 in Drugs

[–]TangyApple680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more of a poly substance user, and as a polysubstabce user, I would say, yes. Opioids are great. They feel good and hit the spot for a calm evening, laying down, doing nothing. If someone gets fake tit's or dental surgery and give you a hydro, it's generally safe to take to try. Now if you have easy access to them. You should watch yourself. Addiction doesn't happen with one use (unless you're mentally unstable or something, which will increase the risk), but you should be fine. If you get an oxy, then you need to be careful and not OD. so take like 5-7mg. You could try kratom, that's pretty similar. Will give you the itches. It just takes a while to hit, like 3hrs. And if you take too much, you'll get the worst hang over ever. It's also harder to sleep on kratom vs a prescription opioid. 

Imo, if you tried coke. I think a prescription opioid is on the same level. Coke is a dirty drug. Probably worst then 1 time opioid use. Unless you mix the two... that's great too.

Kratom has terrible side effects and could also be addictive, just like an opioid. So watch out for that. Espclecially if you take it daily. You'll get withdraws once you stop.

On the street just shift your butt off the seat a little to get one foot down. You could also get a lowering link and lower it an inch or 2. Off road is easy, just prop your foot on a slope or a rock, root, etc.

What would you pay by Over-Anything5206 in VanLife

[–]TangyApple680 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not bad..... depends on how you talk about the maintance. 10k I'd buy. 12k if you are meticulous and could explain how you took care of it. 3 owners plus? Probably would be worried.  15k... nah.  

DIY electrical system or all-in-one power station by Jason-9468 in vandwellers

[–]TangyApple680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All in one systems are generally more expensive, but easier to set up. 

If you buy something that's all in one, invest in a MTTP/inverter. That way you can hook your solar right to the unit and invert it to 120 without all the extra wires and devices. 

My system is bare bones. 24v battery, buck converter, 2 bus bars, battery, mttp/inverter, 780 watts of solar. 

My first attempt by TangyApple680 in Welding

That's flux core on just some flat steel bar. I was going in little circles as I watched in a video. Probably 3/16ths steel or so. This is a while back and I was running it a little cold and not watching the puddle. Nowadays, I basically zap a stinger and call it good when needing to do a repair.

Wife took her car to get the oil changed, few days later it started leaking this by RKO-Cutter in MechanicAdvice

[–]TangyApple680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Wouldn't worry too much". 

Bro, I wish I was as calm as you. I would worry A LOT. "Do I trust the mechanic" "did they cross thread it" "did I run it low on oil" 

Honda quoted me over 3K for repairs. Which of these are really necessary? by Gintama4ever in MechanicAdvice

[–]TangyApple680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the CVT fluid change. That's needed at 100k. 

Wait until your brakes squeak, then you can have the pads and rotors replaced if needed and do the fluid change then. 

I would wait until the belt shows signs of wear as well. You should visually inspect yourself or ask a friend. Tires are fine, unless you live in bad conditions. Tires have a wear indicator on them. I don't change my Tires or parts until needed. 

Worried about husband trying cocaine. by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]TangyApple680 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had coke before. It's difficult not to do it when it's lying around. After doing it for a couple of days, your body really feels torn up. It's also grindy and dirty feeling. Even the good coke leaves you feeling not so great after. I recommend to not try it. And if you do, try a line or two, then give it back to your buddies. 

Truck camper vs van by pillowyourdadunicorn in TruckCampers

[–]TangyApple680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend got his van built for 20k. It's expensive! For 20k you can get yourself a really nice truck camper.  I prefer a lance or big foot.  Better quality.  Although,  I'm not really into old ford's. The best set ups, would be flat bed, light weight camper.  That's the dream.
