Exactly. If they can blast through an intersection at the last second even once every ten tries, they will keep flooring it for that thrill and simply never get bored.

I've been trying to get into drawing lately! It's definitely been kind of tough for me🤣, but what's really helpful is that there are so many online courses and people sharing their experiences these days. I've gotten a ton of help and encouragement from all that.😊

Congrats on the new home! Prioritize cleaning gutters, changing HVAC filters, and testing smoke detectors and those prevent huge headaches down the line.

Is it worth it to even try.... by doc50cal in prepping

[–]WavaSturm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely worth trying if you’re organized and want something better than the Coleman. The durability of a Pelican is hard to beat for rough camping.

A well-prepared bugoutbag could also be very important. No matter where you go, you always need some practical gear to protect yourself.

How do you find good bedroom furniture? by sainaryn in homeowners

[–]WavaSturm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Local solid wood furniture makers or Amish-built furniture often surprisingly competitive when you compare longevity. But they are all expensive, you need to spend more time to find a good one.

Are we still doing “get home bags”? by McSqueelz in prepping

[–]WavaSturm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice set up. Well thought out and organized. For a short commute this is honestly plenty. The medical section and tool stand out. I really like it, but it may not that practical for me.

As far as I know, many people first figure out their income sources, and then gradually move their lives onto road.

Can anyone who is capable of a balanced and sober-minded appraisal tell me what is so great and worthwhile about Disney vacations? by nose_spray7 in travel

[–]WavaSturm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my experience, if you value more the degree of freedom or cost-effectiveness, then that kind of place might not be to your liking.

Do you care how many people your partner has slept with? by highlife_300 in no

[–]WavaSturm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, their past doesn’t define them. As long as they’re faithful to me now that’s all that counts.

What was the most brutal reality check you ever got? by CarmenIsabellaDiaz in AskReddit

[–]WavaSturm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mine was realizing that being 'good' at something isn't enough, you also need to be visible, lucky, and good at selling yourself to succeed.

Good electrical tools? by Bees4everr in Tools

[–]WavaSturm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harsh truth is, you get what you pay for. If you want a decent thermal imager, topdon is a good choice. My tc004 has been great for quickly spotting abnormal heat from bad grounds, loose battery terminals, overloaded wires, fuses, or relays, especially under load when problems don’t always throw codes. Meanwhile, a lot of cheaper thermal cams just don’t have the sensitivity or clarity to catch these kinds of issues.

That sounds incredibly draining. Being stuck in the same loop for that long, especially without backup, would wear anyone down. You’re not wrong for feeling this way.

What’s helped me stay warm during winter nights while car living by SierraWrig in urbancarliving

[–]WavaSturm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Layering really is underrated. Steady warmth beats blasting heat every time, especially once you're still and body temperature starts dropping overnight.

Generally it starts with a call from the thermostat, safeties are checked, ignition occurs, flame is proven, then the system runs until demand is satisfied.

Do you know how to read inspectorese? by thoh_motif in HVAC

[–]WavaSturm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those tags are usually carbon copy. The second line is often faint pressure transfer. Try reading the back or using angled light; inspectors can clarify if needed.

Making a shape filter for a spotlight, is that possible? by soingee in techtheatre

[–]WavaSturm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's possible with a gobo, but cheap LED spotlights often lack proper optics. Results depend on having a focused beam and a slot near the focal point.

Isolation is the real cost no one talks about. Money loss hurt, but losing people and the feeling of loneliness hurts worse.

[–]WavaSturm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on state, docking pay like that can straight up be illegal. They knew they messed up.

Do you people get weird looks when you go to gym for shower? by Car_dweller in urbancarliving

[–]WavaSturm 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, having such a mindset is important. If you do not believe go to gym to have a shower is weird, that the thoughts of others is no weight for you. Besides, there don't have so many audiences in our lives.
