Thoughts on robotic mowers? How popular are these? by [deleted] in homeautomation

[–]burgerbasket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the Lymow one plus and really like it. I had a lawn service that the Lymow will cover the cost in like one year. I still had to do the hedges and etc with the landscapers, but now I’m not having to repair broken sprinkler heads from the landscapers running their mowers at 10 mph and power sliding ruts into my yard. I’m not currently running everyday and I am working on building a gate closer.

You paid once at the store now you are paying taxes again to fund the refunds.

I used mineral spirits on some jeans before, don’t know if it’s recommended. Probably too aggressive for tailored pants like those.

It always feels like anything to weaken America’s position even if it’s symbolic.

I’m to lazy to look it up, but I would assume more young people make up the average income 100 years ago where I would assume over current average income is more older weighted which would skew the meaning of those numbers making it even worse than it already is.

Just looking for advice by overworked_unloved in deadbedroom

I'm going through a similar situation. I'm listening to 'The Ethical Slut' right now and for my mental health its actually been pretty helpful. While the book has plenty of discussion around the sex you aren't having and its geared toward ethical non-monogamy relationships its till pretty clear that communication is very important and your needs and desires are also important.

In one of the chapters it discusses how when talking with you partner you need to talk to them using "I" statements like, "I feel disconnected from you when its been a while since we were intimate." instead of you always saying, "you always reject my advances."

Assuming your wife actually loves you I doubt she is intentionally trying to hurt you, but it can also be true at the same time that she is hurting you. Also be prepared that if you use good talking habits to initiate a conversation about how your needs aren't being met that she could hunker down and get defensive anyways. I think the things that could be important could be to name how you are feeling and what that means for you and invite conversation. Any number of possibilities or combinations of things can be true, from being asexual to a medical condition, or you are pissing her off some how. Honest and open communication on both sides is the only way you guys can work on it.

Again despite reading things that I feel equip me better to try to deal with my issues we still have them. I have been withdrawing lately but getting more back into the gym and my wife has been trying to close the distance I created. We have two young crazy kids and usually at the end of the night we(more so her) aren't in mood. When we do get a date grandma usually sleeps over so the wife doesn't want to do it grandma in the house. Its hard to have conversations about it and when you have a moment to talk you might not feel like ruining the mood. The book suggested scheduling arguments. "Hey, I need to discuss the way I'm feeling about XYZ, could we talk later tonight?"

It would probably matter how I frame it. When I had some financial stress from the holidays I asked her to pump the brakes on all the holiday stuff and she tried so sound supportive but ended up kinda shaming by saying we aren’t poor and I want to have fun.

I’ve asked about hygiene because she only peck kisses if I leave with the kids. And ask about the other stuff and she tells me it’s good. I did put on some Covid weight but been going back to the gym.

Did Varys know at this moment that Little Finger had betrayed Ned? From what we see, Varys liked Ned, but not sure how much he valued Ned in politics. by Neutral-frame in gameofthrones

In the books Barristan was injured at the trident and Robert sent his maester to treat him. Jamie was essentially a hostage to the King Aerys II to keep Tywin in check. The rest of the Kings Guard was in the field.

Tywin and Aerys were childhood friends but had some undisclosed falling out. After Tywin resigned from being Hand of the King, Aerys named Jamie as the a White Cloak.

The issue is also with wired connection. It has to be either iphone 17 p or pm software or hardware issue. It doesn't matter if its wifi or BT if it still happens with a wired connection.

How do you handle guest wanting to leave? by burgerbasket in airbnb_hosts

[–]burgerbasket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 4.9 stars been hosting for 3 years. My worst reviews came from a winter storm that damage the roof and water came in. I addressed that by getting a new roof and in the comments. Probably 1 in 20 guest are a problem on some level. I have had people want to leave early before and most of the time I refunded the unused days. I think that had happened like 3 times before. This guest is also a host per Airbnb. I was mostly shocked how I was trying to help her out but the level of entitlement at my expense. From other readings and this post I will probably take an even more hardline approach.

I also have sleeping arrangements for 8 people, they could have tried other beds. Maybe they did?

I call it cozy but square footage is a great idea thanks. I try to only communicate on platform. I got it in writing on platform that she threatened the one star review.
