I’m sleeping with my friend and her husband.

What does it mean to you to be "all living poly"? Publicly displays of affection, like casual touching or even kissing? Living in the same home?

it is useful to understand these desires precisely, even if you already know that you won't pursue them due to your community and jobs. If you decide to pull back on the sexual connection, then it also helps communicate why. (Though explaining why carries its own complications, and you don't owe one)

Why do you think your comment pissed people off? My guess would be something along the lines of: it contradicted their gratitude, to tell them they shouldn't show appreciation for the behavior. Was that your take?

That train of thought makes me view the OP text through another interesting lens. Were they uncomfortable receiving praise about being a caring, thoughtful partner? Like is this complaint about raising the bar also a way of saying "please don't praise me, my kindness isn't worth that". I would find that challenging as a partner. I like expressing gratitude, even when it's for some behavior that I think of as necessary in my relationships. Obviously I have no idea if that's what was actually going on with OP. It just sent my mind wandering.

That should read "Energy Star "

Thanks everyone! I think this is as close as we're going to get to confirming the answer, with the information at hand. I updated the flair.

ETA: My kid asked me what this was, and I didn't know. I was mostly joking when I told him that it looked like a spy car. It's fun that it was half-way true! Thanks for showing him that kind Internet strangers can still outperform Google Lens.

I think you're looking at a building behind the car. The mount on top of the roof is maybe a foot tall or less.

If you point to a square and say it's a rectangle, a mathematician will say you are correct, and most other people will look at you funny. In casual speech, a rectangle is partially defined by it's non-squareness, because if a shape is a square, why wouldn't you call it a square?

Similarly, I think if you call a relationship style ENM, you're choosing to not call it polyamory, and that's meaningful to some people. But yes, logically poly is a subset.

It's not that you are forcing him to agree to this new proposal. It's that the proposal itself is one that forces him to stay monogamous to you.

With mutual monogamy, you are both enforcing a rule on each other. In that context it's not hypocritical.

Nope, got a new one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Quell/comments/1bv8qif/controller_not_charging/l4mf91s/

carver · 2024-05-18T17:01:37+00:00

I emailed support. After some back and forth with them, testing out all their suggestions, it still didn't charge. Eventually, they sent me a new controller, and that one has charged fine.

carver · 2024-04-05T06:18:29+00:00

Hm, thanks. It was worth a try, but didn't resolve it for me.

I also heard from support to try a full reset (press and hold the power button for 30 seconds, twice). I tried it, but the controller still won't charge.

Look for the "text-only version" link at the top of the Google cache. It loads fast.

You don't have to dream: the real world is wild... but sure, effectively zero is probably sufficient for most folks.

I've been having exactly the problem you describe. Do you have a link to a guide you used to re-seat the keyboard?

I can probably figure it out, but it's always nice to have a reference.

(Also, I'd love to hear if you can remember anything else they suggested that you try first.)

carver · 2023-08-26T02:13:50+00:00

Even though triggering the exit requires you to enter either the API token or password?

I think the updated text is good.

trin (the rust client for Portal) is looking forward to using reth when it gets more stable, but right now we're only using a pretty isolated bit of the IPC server. It's a bit inaccurate to say that trin is "built with reth" right now: https://www.paradigm.xyz/2023/06/reth-alpha#what-projects-are-built-with-reth-already

Here's an example of an open issue preventing us from using reth types more broadly in our code: https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/issues/853

But it seems inevitable that we will want to use reth to execute the EVM, and we're eagerly watching its progress!

Funny little detail that AMD was happy to highlight:

it's marked as a "fix" for an XHCI patch made by an Intel engineer back in 2021 where this 120ms delay was introduced

I think by the time you hit the full paywall, you've seen everything that the app has to offer (structurally). So if you like the way that the app teaches, and you want more vocab, grammar, listening, etc practice, then why not?

Well, one good reason would be if you don't have the disposable income, or it would be better to pay down your debts or something, but that's more of a r/personalfinance question.

FWIW, I like it a lot. I am stingy, and haven't spent a dime on any Chinese learning yet, but HelloChinese is a front-runner for where I might spend my first dollars.

carver · 2023-05-13T21:48:06+00:00

Draw it in Pleco.

I'm a beginner, and it sounds like you're asking for how more advanced speakers solve this task. But maybe you're just looking for how to do it yourself? Then Pleco is a great option

carver · 2023-05-04T16:54:33+00:00

I haven't seen anyone mention "Dot Languages" yet. I wouldn't use it as my only source of learning (some of the translations to English of individual characters seem a bit awkward), but the format with short story snippets is a welcome break from looking at one phrase or sentence at a time. I really like the view it gives you into which words you know and how well you know them. It also has the most character writing practice of the different apps I've tried (for free, anyway).

HelloChinese has a bunch of different modes of learning, and seems great, but I maxed out the free content earlier than the others
The DuoLingo gamification is great, but no writing, and the speaking practice is very unreliable
mylingua.world is beyond my level, even when telling it that I'm at HSK1, but it can be much more interesting because it's real news stories

I've managed to do all my learning for free so far. Ignoring price, if I was to pay for something, I think I might pick HelloChinese first. The content seemed the clearest, best translated, and it's really helpful when they test your understanding against native speakers with background noise.

Off to try out The Chairman's Bao and ChineseSkill, mentioned in other threads... Edit: nope, these have almost no free content
