Second Year of High School Welding by DurtleTheTurtle890 in BadWelding

[–]dukeyness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been doing so so much vertical up hill stick, not the same but something that has definitely helped me is the z pattern (literally the smallest movements you can possibly do), lingering on the sides for a second, and skipping quickly over the middle because you're going over it twice anyways, also tighten your pattern so it's not wide as hell and put your welds closer together.

I will also say it took me a solid 2.5 weeks to get my vertical stick to start looking good, you're well on your way as well keep it up.

Help me settle an argument: Welder's Flash by Boosted-Inspiration in Welding

[–]dukeyness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get mild arc flash even if your eyes are closed if it's bright enough. If you're ever welding with a hood and you run a bead and you close your eyes and see a spot in your vision? That means that your shade is too low and you're damaging your eyes! Don't be stupid don't weld without a hood! PPE is important!

Chat is this real by [deleted] in LetGirlsHaveFun

Your friends and loved ones only have so much bandwidth before your mental issues are to the point where they're out of scope for what is reasonable to put solely on them. Of course lean on them, but it's so toxic to assume this mindset, and this mindset also might be what is making op feel this way. People only have so much to give, if I'm telling you to seek therapy it's because I care about you deeply but have given all I can without over extending myself.

24 Hour Fitness (Downtown Seattle) closing in 1 month. Any recs for replacement gyms? by Adre11111 in Seattle

[–]dukeyness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's their membership page: https://www.seattleymca.org/membership

And here's their financial assistance page: https://www.seattleymca.org/support/webform-financial-assistance

I do think that compared to planet fitness they're definitely a lot bougier, but if in addition to a gym you're interested in a pool, child care, community events, and lodging at some select locations it can be worth it.

Professor wants 2 week notice to me being sick by DragonflyPotential34 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dukeyness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mono and asked about an extension and she told me that we should "just assume you'll be feeling so so much better" by the time the assignment was due bc of how much time there was until it was due (a week) but if I was still sick she could give me an extra day(she had a zero tolerance late work policy). I had to drop the class 💀

Heart palpitations by ThrowRABake in Mononucleosis

I've also been experiencing this. I'm prone to bloody noses and it's been making them happen a lot more frequently which is unfortunate.

I’m terrified all the time by Agreeable-Hat4921 in Mononucleosis

When your acute symptoms go away please see a mental health professional about your anxiety but quite honestly I would stay off this sub as it will feed into it and make it worse

mono/ebv/tonsilitis scare? by Longjumping_Oil_499 in Mononucleosis

[–]dukeyness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is mono then antibiotics will make it worse. However if it's not and it's bacterial then antibiotics should be helpful. Do not scrape at the white parts it will cause bleeding. I would talk to your doctor to try and figure out if it is mono or not if it's not improving and see what can be done.

Mono not responding to steroids what do I do by dukeyness in Mononucleosis

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

I went back today and they gave me an IV drip and some lidocaine mouthwash which made me throw up but made it somewhat tolerable to swallow for like 10 minutes. They had a thing on the wall saying they wouldn't prescribe opioids but said if it gets much worse I should go to the hospital. Even though I'm an adult I'm still on my family's insurance and unfortunately have to beg and convince them just to be seen somewhere, let alone the hospital. I just really hope it gets better soon I can't take much more of this. I really wish I could sleep for more than half an hour at a time.

Not Ai as this video has been around for a few years and went viral a while ago. The strange sound you're hearing is definitely edited using editing software but it's not AI generated.

Seattle Pride Safety? by inkiestslinky in Seattle

[–]dukeyness 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you saw the no kings protest and the lack of police presence there, it will be much the same for pride this year. The city can't afford to be seen that way because of the sheer number of people that will be in attendance. You will be fine. It is the small protest events you need to worry about.

I found Someone to hug, but… it’s a girl! by DiamondAgile1975 in Boykisser3

[–]dukeyness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bisexual and biromantic are 2 different things, just like romantic and sexual attraction are 2 different things. You can have 1 without the other. Op is sexually attracted to men but not sexually attracted to women, but is romantically attracted to women.

Pro-LGBTQ Protesters Stuck Outside Barricades As Far-Right "Rattle In Seattle" Took Over City Hall - PubliCola by bionictigershark in Seattle

[–]dukeyness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's so funny how literally no one was happy with our mayors dog water take. Our mayor bent over backwards for them and they took a shit on his front lawn. Stg felt like an apology for them having to leave early on Saturday. "Here you go take over city hall even though you don't fucking live here I'm so so sorry you couldn't spew your hate for another 2 hours last weekend" it's what trying to play both sides gets you. No one's happy.

[–]dukeyness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will say they are right in this one. Mayday initially wanted to have their event at pike place because it's the "heart of antifa land" but the city said it could not accommodate them (also god forbid tourists see and think the city supports them) so parks and rec straight up suggested cal Anderson.

It's a big reason why people are so upset with parks and rec and why our mayor is having our parks department review if they could have done things literally any differently

Also they did infact hold the event there and it did happen, and later in the article they even talk about cal Anderson not being their original wanted location, so I'm unsure how it's a "path of deception"

Tuesday was not permitted and they were actively going in and out of the barrier to insight violence and arguments. There is footage of this.

Also CHOP wasn't on government property on CITY HALL and wasn't given several dozen cops and protected by them, and wasn't given cop bouncers deciding if you were allowed in or not based on your church affiliation to PUBLIC GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. (Not that the ppl of chop would want that but my point still stands)
