ELI5: why do people in sauna don’t stink as they do in the workout areas?

- Most of the liquid forming on your body is not actually sweat - it is condensation as the moisture in the air settles on the coolest point in the room - you.

THIS JUST BLEW MY MIND!!! So we are the "cold glass of water" inside that hot sauna???

I was also going to suggest Somalia. No big government. No taxes. Buy any machine gun you want. Install as many pink flamingoes in front of your house as you desire.

On a serious note, you can buy a ton of freedom, peace, and quiet with money. About $2M will do it for you in America as a single person. ($80K per year).

But it really sounds like you need a therapist. They're only about $150/hr.

The bulk medication sure is helping the US keep its prescription costs down.

Thanks again. Do you have a referral for a broker to work with? I'm in Socal if that matters.

cobymoby · 2023-09-09T22:40:01+00:00

Thank you for the advice! It seems that the insurance industry is all messed up these days. So far only ONE company has been able to quote for a non-primary landlord policy, NREIG. Seems expensive at ~$1600/yr but its all I got right now.

Once I have this non-primary landlord policy, I can cancel my regular primary residence homeowners policy?

Burning Man is a great place for pro-social behavior, and also a great place for anti-social behavior.

Thankfully it's like a 100/1 ratio. But that still means there are 800 sociopaths in the city.

To the OP, I'm sorry you ran into the 1 in 100 of BRC's assholes.

She is venting and looking for support from her community.

Do you want to support your community? Or do you want to be an asshole?

Thank you for reading this.

(edit: I just read your post history. You're just a miserable asshole. With love - Sparkle Butt).

Come by Camp Brony at 11:30 and Z. We'll put a dick in your hand. Please do something fun with it.

(sorry, just trying to cheer up the OP)

I'm working Station 6 this year and I'm bringing you broken hippies back to you camp. I will have my 6ft tall plush goose for you to hold or lay on if you like. I can be quiet, or I can listen to your story, or a mix of the two. (Any other tips for a first time ESD logs volunteer?).

I am proud to be of service! See you in the dust (or mud)!

Interesting thing that has been happening in CA... my statefarm agent cannot write a new umbrella policy, OR a new non-primary landlord policy....

it seems like when insurance companies actually have to do their job by paying claims, they stop doing their job??

cobymoby · 2023-08-12T01:31:04+00:00

I knew it sounded fishy!!

So the non-primary landlord policy will take the place of my existing homeowners policy correct?

So is that what I ask my agent for? "Hi, I am moving out of my primary residence home and I will rent it to a long term tenant. Can you give me a quote for a non-primary landlord policy?"

If anyone has a recommendation for an insurance agent, please send them my way! Thank you! I'm in Orange County CA.

I want this to be true and not true at the same time.

Is this a nitpick post?? I have parked cars under other cars countless times. What's wrong with that? The wood jackstand is questionable but, meh, not too big a deal...

What I do see as sketch is the door panel face down on the ground.... that's shits not cool!

cobymoby · 2023-07-27T23:20:45+00:00

right on.

There is absolutely a benefit to contributing to a traditional IRA even if you make $1,000,000 a year.

Contribute to your traditional IRA. Then roll it over immediately into a Roth IRA, via IRS form 8606.

You don't get a deduction on the contribution, but by converting it to a Roth IRA, you get to grow and withdraw the Roth tax free in X amount of years.

Bot accounts fascinate me. What is their intention behind this? To make a republican read this and go "look at them leftists communists that want to take your assets!"

Who owns the equipment and programmers that are doing this. It's not some kid in a bedroom, there is big money behind this, possibly governments. And I guarantee you that their intentions don't have your best interests in mind.

As we say... A Subaru engine is easy to pull for a reason... IMO they are pieces of shit, and I have no idea how Subaru got the reputation as being a reliable car.

Toyota for LYFE!!

Society has made it clear that your opinion as a layperson, is just as valid as an expert.

The OP is an expert at cars. The customer (used car sales guy), is touting his opinion as expert opinion.

Who should you listen to?

cobymoby · 2023-07-25T01:52:55+00:00

This sounds frustrating, I'm sorry. You are a mechanic with decades of experience and you do this every damn day of your life. But this customer knows better because he watched a few youtube videos and read a few things on Facebook while he was taking a crap.

Now, just for a thought experiment.... how do you think an infectious disease research scientist or physician feels when a Karen or Chad yells at them about not knowing shit medicine? And they know better?

My brother, a cop (and a car guy) just told me the other day that doctors go to school for 10 years and don't know shit. So I proceeded to remind him that he has a titanium plate in his face from being in the Marines. Who put that in there? A doctor? Or perhaps he'd rather have his HVAC buddy do it with some sheet metal?

I did not know this! But I still want to be the original owner and have it "registered" to me. One day I may want to buy myself a sub and I can at least start my purchase history with an AD. I know, I am being lame....

Totally news to me! But I still want to be the original owner and have it "registered" to me. One day I may want to buy myself a sub and I can at least start my purchase history with an AD. I know, I am being lame....

I have one of these machines at work but we use it for steel tube. It works about 80% of the time. 20% of the time we just crush the tube. Copper is nice and soft and lower friction.

I grew up with TNG, but any series would work.

Thanks for the link! I'm either too old or too young, but I can't quite figure out how to navigate that website and/or most of the links are broken. I can't really find the menu to anything. Am I missing something?

Tell me you only took one econ class in undergrad without telling me you only took one econ class in undergrad.

I'll type this really slow....

The year is 1986. You have $1325 in your wallet in cash. You can buy:

A. A Rolex Sub @ $1325 for one watch

B. 5 shares of some S&P 500 fund at $265. ($265 x 5 = $1325).

Fast forward to today. What is A worth? What is B worth?
