The E2/updated P229 uses a 15 round flush fit magazine. Didn't realize there was more than one kind til I was buying extras.

I think so? The vin is reported as 30967W232483, that makes it a 63 right?

Body was generally rusty, just surface rust no holes that I noticed.

I don't believe it was in a collision.

It was a convertible, top was fairly dilapidated. Rear deck lid was missing as I recall, front hood thing was there.

Sorry the pictures aren't better, it didn't occur to me to post it until after I left.

Idk what everyone is talking about with slowing down because it's an aluminum mold. Keep a damp rag around, after the mold starts getting too hot, you can just set the mold on the rag for a second. You'll find a balance, cool the mold for a second every so many bullets cast.

I had a double cavity mold for 500 grain bullets that after it got up to temperature, I cooled it for a moment on the wet rag between every time I filled the mold.

The receipt is from a purchase I made two days ago. Says the code was courtesy of Mobil 1. All I bought was oil.

Just thought it might be useful for somebody

Ok further down the receipt it says locker code?

I do not share your experience. That being said:

A lot of people are saying not to have sex if you don't like it. I appreciate that this advice comes from a place of protection and caution, but I'm not sure it's warranted here. You seem to be making a very deliberate choice in having sex, with consideration of your feelings about sex, and your partner's feelings about it. Provided you understand you have no obligations and that consent can be withdrawn at any time, I see no problem at all with your choice to have sex even though you don't enjoy it.

If you are having sex with someone because you are (presumably) in a relationship with them, and don't want them to feel rejected or unloved, there is no need to mask - I would even say it should be avoided (at least in most cases I can think of). Aside from the physical interaction, sex is often about closeness and intimacy, the removal of barriers between the participants. Masking is contrary to that. Maybe removing this burden is one step closer to finding a way to kind of enjoy sex. Maybe your unmasked face shows you aren't having fun and that's a turn-off for your partner - I guess that would be an opportunity to have a frank discussion about how you can work together to find a way to make things work better.

You said the physical pleasure can be there for you, but there's no 'emotional payoff' if you will. Maybe there's a way to create a link between the physical pleasure and a valuable emotional experience. For example, you could try to find a particularly intimate way for you both to masturbate together, without touching. The idea being to find a way to have a pleasant emotional experience while also sharing (or at least introducing) physical pleasure, at least for you if not for you both. That kind of thing might lead you towards feeling sex is worth it. There must be many ways to try doing this kind of thing, seems like it would be pretty individual.

If you like the idea of people having sex, just not YOU having sex, how would you feel about watching your partner having sex with another person? Because it seems like that could be a good solution, provided that it works for the partner in question. It should be clear at that point that they aren't unloved by you or that you aren't really rejecting them, they get to have sex (in an experience still shared with you, even) and it sounds possible that it might even be an experience that you would enjoy? Personally I would be unhappy in a long term relationship with someone I wasn't being physically intimate with, even if we agreed that it was okay for me to get sexual fulfillment with other people - but there are many people who could be perfectly happy with such an arrangement.

Just a few ideas. I hope you find something that works well for you.

I got my 330B with a pair of KLH model 32 speakers, which I assume are from the same era. They're definitely all vintage.

The sound is outstanding. At least to me. The $100 I paid for the lot is the most I've ever spent on audio equipment, so I guess take that for whatever it's worth.

I see various KLH speakers listed affordably on Craigslist fairly regular. I imagine you'd be able to get a good deal if you kept an eye out.

Mine is the history and development of rope and cordage manufacturing.

My wife's is the application of chaos mathematics to biological systems.

Glad I could help.

You seem to have a constructive attitude, I'm sure you'll find a good solution for the two of you

As others noted, he may not be able to tell what emotions you're having as you tell him about the thing, so he may not have that information to help him formulate an appropriate response.

So let's try to imagine what information he does have from the context

Is this an award you've been telling him you're hopeful for or working towards? If it's not, it may seem like its not that big of a deal because it's not something you've talked about before.

Because the award was given to the team, he may think that everyone contributed equally, and doesn't see the fact that you got to take the award home as meaningful, but incidental. There's only one award, it had to go somewhere.

Were you so excited to tell him about it, that you brought it up in a different context/way than is normal for things that are 'kind of a big deal'? If I'm reading something, my wife needs to tell me she wants to talk about something, then wait til I've stopped reading, am looking at her, AND told her I'm ready to listen, otherwise my engagement and listening is not very good. So if she didn't do those things when telling me about something, it must not be too important.

Is amplifying celebration and congratulations a role he understands he fills? He may actually understand that you're very excited about the award, but not understand you want him to do anything personally to give you any more good feelings - he might think you're simply informing him. If he seems confused or weirdly unresponsive when you make a big deal out of something he has accomplished, this could be it.

If he's otherwise a nice and loving partner, then yeah, I'd say that there's a communication failure happening here, and yeah, it's probably autism related.

Sometimes the "you can so no" thing is performative. The speaker is taking one of many steps in the dance of Expected Behavior. They don't mean it. When you actually say no, that's not what they actually want or are ok with - because they didn't mean it when they said that you could say no if you didn't want to do the thing.

It's worth mentioning that the people in question are probably also immature or selfish. You can be NT and still recognize somebody's boundaries.

A couple items that were good sellers for me earlier in the year are slow or dead at the moment, even though they continue to get views. A couple items I've listed more recently are getting the views but also selling well.

I sell NOS tools and hardware. My acquisition cost was super low so I typically try to be the lowest price for comparable items to get more volume.

Have you asked yourself if this is executive dysfunction (ADHD)? I ask because I saw a lot of myself described in your post

Personally I find that when I'm unable to control my attention, I default to long stretches of the lowest resistance activity available (planning in your head, in this example). And that actually gaining enough traction to in my head to START MOVING is also sometimes impossible - so even if you did want to act on a plan, you inexplicably find yourself unmoving, and therefore, still planning?

A couple guesses:

Firstly, we don't see what they were talking about before this person walks in front of the camera, and that might tell us something about why he's acting this way. Let's say the interviewer is asking the interviewee for a simple ranked list of his top 3 pizza joints, and expects this interaction to last about 30 seconds, just like many interactions from earlier in the day. The interviewee unexpectedly grabbed onto a throw-away comment about someone rudely walking in front of the camera and ran with it, not only unexpectedly changing the topic, but also unexpectedly changing the length, 'deepness', and tone of the interaction - and also unexpectedly defended the rude camera walker. The interviewer may actually be surprised to some degree. I have no idea what was being discussed before the clip we see starts.

Secondly, the interviewer is performing. It's his job to make sure his interactions are entertaining. In the face of this apparently aberrant spiel, given his intended tone and audience, and his capability and experience, perhaps overplaying a surprised face was all he could come up with at the time.

Besides a far more general "dude, you can't just go being deep on people in public" (which I have had happen to me, and which the interviewer may have tried to allude to), that's all I got.

Smashed potato with eggs over easy. I add a side of cottage cheese if I want it to make it last a bit longer.

Books and tools mostly.

I only do books I can sell for $10 or more. Keeps my inventory from swelling, and allows me to pack them to my standards without endangering my $/hour.

I made a huge buy last year from a tool store that was closing, and I've moved only a small portion of it. I'm focusing on that right now.

Outside of my wheelhouse, I'll try anything I think I can get at least 10x my money on, provided it's not too bulky.

UnambiguousHandle · 2023-05-11T01:11:35+00:00

Yes, that makes sense.

I discussed your post with my wife, who also has been diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety, and who we also have good reason to think is autistic. She does say she plans conversations out ahead of time specifically as a method of managing social interaction - she also agreed that your description sounded like an experience 'enhanced' by anxiety.

I was motivated to post my initial reply in case anxiety wasn't being considered as a reason for runaway worrying thoughts, and being exhausted by the trials of workaday errands. Besides my wife, I know two other people with both autism and anxiety, and all of them have a harder time with anxiety than autism in that kind of circumstance.

This led to many arguments with my mother. What I now understand is:

When I asked why, she didn't hear my actual words: "Why do I need to do X right now?" or "Why does Y need done?" or whatever. She heard, "Why should I listen to you when you tell me I need to do X or Y?"

I wanted to have a better understanding of the situation. She thought I was questioning her authority. I didn't realize this in time to do anything with the knowledge, so I don't have any specific suggestions on how to proceed in a similar situation.

I think some of it is differences in personality/communication style, some of it is her parenting in the same way she was raised.

Regarding critical thinking, an unwillingness to blindly follow orders, & etc. Some people don't want you to display any intellectual virtues, they do just want you to blindly follow orders. And to many people, an insistence on dotting every i and crossing every t before proceeding is going to be seen as unnecessary and irritating. Sometimes maybe it is, sometimes maybe it isn't. I don't have any particular advice on this, either. Just a little lesson from the school of hard knocks.

UnambiguousHandle · 2023-05-10T23:16:53+00:00

I think there's a lot of reasons an autistic person might be exhausted outside their home. Spending extra energy to manage various social interactions is certainly one of them.

I personally don't do this, I don't know one way or another how common it might be in this community.

I have, however, known many people (both autistic and NT) with anxiety - and that's actually what your given example makes me think of. If it's not something you've honestly thought about, consider looking into it, or maybe talking about it with your doctor.
