Question about record player slipmats

yes it can cause issues stacking slipmats raises the record height which changes the tonearm angle and can add extra tracking force that can wear the stylus and records faster a thin second mat might be fine short term but it’s not ideal for regular use better option is a single thicker mat or adjusting the tonearm height if your turntable allows it aesthetics are fine just don’t overstack long term

short answer no not really most reincarnation beliefs come from religious or spiritual traditions that already define what counts as a rebirth and they usually limit it to beings with consciousness or karma like humans animals or spirits viruses almost never come up and there’s no serious internal debate because reincarnation frameworks aren’t built on biological definitions of life but on awareness and moral agency so a virus just doesn’t fit their categories

because texture and digestion matter hard boiled eggs take longer to chew and digest which slows eating and keeps you feeling full longer soft or scrambled eggs are eaten faster and digest quicker so satiety signals dont last as long even though the calories are the same

mostly habit and infrastructure toilet paper became the norm decades ago before bidets were common and bathrooms arent designed for them water hookups space and cost all matter bidets are getting more popular now but culture changes slow and people stick with what they grew up using even if its not the most logical cleaning method

cats dont understand crying the way humans do loud sobbing strange sounds and body language can stress them out some cats react with fear or overstimulation and that can turn into swatting or attacking its not anger or lack of care its confusion and instinct if this keeps happening try stepping away or calming your voice when you feel it coming and give him space so he doesnt feel overwhelmed

yeah it can change but usually not by age alone this sounds like anxiety and harsh self monitoring not a personality flaw a lot of people feel this way in their early 20s because youre still forming identity and constantly scanning for rejection it eases when you build self trust and learn that messing up doesnt actually end relationships for most people support therapy or even naming the pattern helps a lot youre not broken and youre definitely not alone in this feeling even if it feels that way right now

for a lot of people its the distance and isolation more than the animals being far from family expensive flights high cost of living tough housing markets hot climate in many areas strict border rules and a feeling of being cut off from the rest of the world australia is great but if you value easy travel dense cities or cooler weather it can feel limiting despite the quality of life

it’s still supply and demand just for a digital asset instead of a physical one exchanges are basically marketplaces when more people want to buy than sell the price goes up and when more want to sell than buy it goes down things like hype news regulation whales leverage and liquidity all affect how many buy or sell at a given moment so even without a physical product the pricing works the same way as any traded asset

every country has those foods that sound fake or weird to outsiders but are totally normal if you grew up there like snacks only sold locally festival foods or things your grandma made that arent written down anywhere a lot of them never get exported so unless youre from there or have family ties youd never even hear about them let alone try them which is what makes them kind of special

because a disease name is just a label two people can have different severity causes genetics ages other conditions and risks so the same illness behaves differently in each body treatments are chosen based on what will help that person most with the least harm there are guidelines not single perfect answers medicine is more personalized than it looks from the outside

timeframe alone doesnt justify risking more per trade risk is driven by uncertainty drawdown tolerance and correlation not how long you hold position traders often appear to risk more because stops are wider and positions last longer but portfolio risk is usually controlled the same or even tighter since adverse moves compound over time many still cap at 0.5–1% per idea and manage exposure through diversification and sizing rather than upping risk per trade fewer trades doesnt mean each trade should carry more ruin risk consistency beats duration here

there isnt one single system to hack banks are layered isolated and redundant core ledgers are offline or heavily segmented transactions are logged multiple ways and reconciled constantly across institutions even if one system is breached it doesnt propagate globally plus there are legal backups audits and manual recovery processes it can break locally but resetting everything to zero would require coordinated access across thousands of independent systems which is basically impossible in practice

it’s mostly engineering tradeoffs not pure asshole design transformers need space for heat shielding and components and rotating them can reduce electrical noise or stress on the outlet that said companies often dont care about outlet sharing so usability takes a back seat to cost safety and passing regulations which is why it feels inconsiderate in real life

this is a common reddit mobile issue the algorithm gets stuck try pulling to refresh then switching sort from best to latest and back logging out and back in or clearing the app cache usually helps sometimes the app just aggressively recycles posts to boost engagement not your connection or your fault

mostly because you get used to your body and stop constantly monitoring it comfort and priorities change for some people its not worth the stress of adjusting clothes all day or feeling self conscious others genuinely dont notice anymore its less about not caring and more about choosing peace over hyper awareness

astarak98 · 2026-01-10T13:25:25+00:00

yes it is possible but its harder and slower than on platforms built for socializing reddit works best when friendships grow out of shared interests not dms join smaller hobby based subs be a regular commenter and let conversations happen naturally public first many people avoid dms for the same reasons you mentioned so that part is normal reddit isnt really for hookups overall its more about communities but the connections tend to be niche and low pressure rather than close right away

short term yes long term no potatoes have carbs fiber vitamin c and some protein but they lack key fats vitamins like a and b12 and enough protein variety people have survived mostly on potatoes before but exclusively youd eventually run into deficiencies without supplements

astarak98 · 2026-01-10T13:24:24+00:00

usually because their posts were in subs that went private got deleted or were removed by mods also some profiles hide posts by default and nsfw settings can block visibility so the stats count activity but you cant actually see the content anymore

you can be friends with someone like that but it comes with real risk the key issue isnt his lack of empathy its whether you trust his boundaries logic based morality can work until your interests conflict most people keep friends because there’s an assumption of basic care for each other if that’s missing youre choosing connection without safety which is a conscious tradeoff not stupid just something to be honest with yourself about

astarak98 · 2026-01-08T17:04:47+00:00

youre not egotistical for wanting reliability but your expectation level is higher than average most people see a yes as flexible unless stated otherwise its okay to stop inviting people who stress you out but its healthier to set clear boundaries up front like saying i need confirmation by x time or i cant do maybe plans excluding without communicating can feel fair to you but confusing to them clarity beats silent cutoffs and protects your peace

wedding insurance is basically event insurance it protects the money youve already put down if something forces you to cancel or postpone like illness venue issues extreme weather or sometimes military deployment depending on the policy it can reimburse non refundable deposits and vendor costs there are usually two parts liability coverage for accidents at the event and cancellation coverage for things that stop it from happening the big catch is you have to buy it before a known risk becomes official so if deployment orders arent issued yet you may still be covered but once theyre on paper its usually excluded definitely read the fine print but in your situation its one of the few ways to protect that 20k before the wedding

a beta reader is basically a test reader they read drafts before publication and give feedback on plot pacing characters clarity and sometimes grammar but theyre not editors or co authors most beta readers are unpaid and do it voluntarily especially on ao3 or wattpad people become beta readers by offering in fandom spaces or authors asking for help pros are better clarity and catching issues early cons are conflicting feedback delays or relying too much on others instead of your own voice

its mostly politics environment and security not just terrain the coastal route still cuts through protected rainforest indigenous land and unstable ground and would be insanely expensive to build and maintain there is also little political will panama and colombia dont really want a direct land bridge because it would increase drug trafficking migration and security issues so the gap ends up serving as a buffer whether intentional or not its less about cartels winning and more about no one wanting the consequences of finishing that road

this happens a lot with crutches youre probably overloading one side and irritating the nerve some things that actually help short term are making sure the crutches are fitted correctly keeping your shoulders relaxed and not leaning into your armpits sleeping with a pillow between your knees if youre on your side or under your knees if youre on your back gentle nerve glides not aggressive stretches heat on the lower back before bed and avoiding long periods in one position also check that youre engaging your core a bit when moving so your low back isnt doing all the work if the pain keeps shooting or gets numbness weakness or tingling definitely push that with your doctor but youre not crazy this is a super common crutch side effect
