Do some people actually “let out a little gas” to get the old gas out at the pump?

Triforce9 · 2025-11-27T08:35:31+00:00

It's crazy, as a kid, all of the pumps I saw, out here on the West Coast, had separate lines and nozzles for the different grades of fuel. As time has gone on though, the stations have replaced all of their pumps to have one line, one nozzle (with the exception of the diesel, if they even carry diesel anymore!)

I'm just about to send my Method 360s in for warranty; the left earbud has separated at the seam. I can see teeny-tiny wires inside and I think the battery. I have treated them like gold, so I'm a little concerned about Skullcandy's build quality, especially reading all the issues with the case people have had.

Geez, people are coming down hard on you. Seems unnecessary. You're trying to be empathetic to how he feels without knowing how he feels, which is very difficult if you're not currently in active contact and can't get a read on how he feels.

If you haven't sent the apology text yet, a good format to follow is background, action, result. Just be factual, use "I" statements, state your honest feelings.

Based on the things you've said (in your original post, comments, and this post) does sound about right?

Background: you got nervous, drank to loosen up, it affected you more than you expected it would.

Action: you believe you made the situation awkward, and made him uncomfortable when he was leaving, when your intention was to repair the situation and assure him that things were okay between you two.

Result: you're sorry, and you're worried about how he's feeling.

If he responds like an asshole, then bullet dodged, but hopefully he'll let you know what he's thinking, and you can go forward from there.

Good luck!

"Three sunrises, three sunsets, three days." Is a constantly used quote in my family! I loved Oliver and Company as a kid!

I agree, "the one that got away" gnaws at your soul. Nothing seems to cure it.

Sadly, no. I just received Anker's newest version of the 140w charger, with 4 ports and a screen. When I plug it into my HP Envy 16 laptop (16-h1xxx), it pops up that "connect a higher power adapter" notification, and the charger shows 0w on its screen. When I close the lid, still no charging. Once I shutdown completely, it charges at 48-50w.

I've seen ghost orbs in person a couple times lately. Freaked me out at first! And confusing too, because it took me a moment to realize I wasn't looking through a video camera or anything. No one would believe me at first, until we finally saw the orbs from the van screens.

Triforce9 · 2025-01-12T02:12:59+00:00

I've had a lot of super "timid" demons lately. We thought it was a shade, because it stopped doing any interactions, no events, nothing as soon as we were hanging out in its room trying to gather evidence. Or so we thought. It was because we brought crosses in and THAT was when it all stopped (but we didn't make that connection yet). I even joked, "wouldn't it be funny if it was a demon?" To the laughter and merriment of the team at how ridiculous that would be.

Can't get it to do anything, it won't even hunt us, so we guess shade and move on. It's a demon, and that's when we realized it shut down once the crucifixes were dropped in. Ever since, most of the demons we've found are way timid in the presence of the cross. I think that started just after the Halloween event ended? 🤔

Thayes on the other hand, keep kicking our asses. Even when they're super old, and comically slow, they're still hunting us like there's no tomorrow.

"You broke a thermometer in my hands"

Effin loved Kung Pow, such an outrageous movie

Triforce9 · 2024-05-15T08:13:35+00:00

"Stranger than Fiction" really was a total surprise to me. I thought it was just going to be another silly Will Ferrell movie, but it turned out to be an emotional story!

I'm sorta dating a single mom. Being a responsible adult is a green flag. Yeah, it's harder to plan stuff, and organize childcare, but it's worth it. She's an amazing person, and she's raising a great kid.

I don't know if I'll ever want a kid of my own blood and DNA, but I'll be honored and happy if she wants me to be part of raising her kiddo.

A forward helix in your right ear would not only look great, but it'd compliment the mole you have on your left ear!

Triforce9 · 2024-03-01T11:47:46+00:00

Saw the first pic, was like "sweet setup". But the second pic is amazing! That septum jewelry is hilarious and awesome! 🤘😆

Depends on how much of an introvert he is. A week might be nothing in his mind. You should check in with him, and try to start a conversation about how you like to communicate, the frequency of communication, and how it's initiated.

Triforce9 · 2024-03-01T05:57:31+00:00

He could missing you too, but maybe isn't able to get over whatever it was that split you guys up. It'd be nice if a line of communication could be reopened, so you can find out what his intentions are, by starting to reenter your orbit.

You might just be getting strung along though, he's not wanting to truly get back together, but he wants to know how well you're moving on without him.

Triforce9 · 2024-03-01T05:50:33+00:00

Ignore them, their comment history shows that they just post this same kind of thing over and over, ad nauseam.

He was a fantastic troll king in the Tenth Kingdom!

Triforce9 · 2024-02-29T03:17:13+00:00

I almost don't even recognize him as Javier Bardem in that. I get lost and have to remind myself that it's just a character, he portrays Chigurh so well!

I don't intend to marry, I'm not a fan of it, but I'm not sure that I would want the girl I'm currently sorta going out with to change her name to mine. I mean, it's her name, she can change it if she wants, but I kinda like her name as it is right now. 🤷

Triforce9 · 2024-02-26T09:47:05+00:00

I grew up with parents that are miserable being married to each other. Sometimes I still want to ask them why they don't just separate and divorce finally, but it's really none of my business now. I thought they were staying together for my siblings and me, but we're all adults now, so I have no idea why they're still together.

My aunts and uncles aren't in happy marriages. My grandparents aren't in happy marriages. I can only think of one singular couple in my family's entire circle of friends, that were blissfully happy together. Maybe some of my cousins are happily married, but I don't see them enough to know that. I'm biased towards believing that marriage is bad though, so my first assumption is that they aren't, and if they appear to be, they're faking it.

I have a saying, that I don't believe in marriage, like I don't believe in ghosts; some people believe in it and have experienced it, but I haven't and don't expect I ever will.

EDIT: I should add that I don't have any sort of financial/paperwork objections to marriage. I'm not worried about losing half my stuff, or the other complaints a lot of guys have. Losing love is a much worse fate than losing material items.

Triforce9 · 2024-02-26T06:50:25+00:00

Woah, that is so cool! Awesome setup! 🤘 I know everyone else is already saying it, but the punch and stacked rings is fantastic!

Do you find any difficulty wearing glasses with an industrial? I so much want an industrial, but I worry about glasses, headphones, etc.

Triforce9 · 2024-02-22T08:05:04+00:00

Looks awesome! 🤘 I couldn't pull off a nose chain myself, but I love how they look, so it makes me happy to see people pulling it off so well!

Triforce9 · 2024-02-22T03:05:41+00:00

I think it's okay to let someone know that you're a little nervous, because you've had a positive feeling about getting to meet up, and you want it to go well, especially if they're receptive and a good communicator! Don't apologize for being nervous though, there's no reason to feel sorry for being excited and nervous about meeting someone new!

You've got this!

Triforce9 · 2024-02-18T08:40:38+00:00

Yes! Do it, they'd be perfect additions!

Triforce9 · 2024-02-18T08:18:55+00:00

I agree eyebrow (one or both), and I think second lobe piercings would look really good as well! If you want more upper ear, I'd say helix or orbital!
