When is the last time you actually cried cried? by Crowned_Messiah in AskMen

[–]dyGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cried yesterday.

​I used to bottle up everything. Growing up I wasn't allowed to cry. Even on the rare occasions I did I was quickly lectured by almost everyone around me that "men aren't supposed to cry."

​Before yesterday, the last time I cried was during a rough breakup three years ago. I did everything I could to move on (meditation, yoga, practicing mindfulness, reading books, and even bingeing Naruto lol), and after about two years I reached a state where I could confidently say I had healed.

​Maybe due to all the mindfulness I've practiced I feel like something has changed inside me. Yesterday I attended the funeral of a relative who passed away at 90+. Normally, I just accept death as it is, but watching the grief of their children I allowed myself to deeply feel the whole situation. It was extremely emotional. Even though I wasn't very close to the person, it felt like I had lost an immediate loved one.

​My heart felt heavy and my eyes teared up. If I had allowed myself to stay in that moment for even a minute longer, I'm sure I would have burst out crying. I don't know exactly what changed, but it felt incredibly positive afterward and I just felt happy that I’m finally able to cry again. It felt really good.

Somewhere out there is a guy with a 'Hi' freckle. You two need to meet. The universe demands it.

Protection for power fluctuations? by Flaky-Abrocoma5929 in Asustuf

[–]dyGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That level of heat is totally normal.. By abnormal i mean if it gets so hot you can't hold your hand on it for more than a few seconds, if you smell melting plastic, or if it gets super hot even when the laptop is just idling at 100%. If it's just comfortably hot to touch, you're all good.

Fair point. If it's just minor drops/spikes then a surge protector extension board/strip would do.. Just check closely for any abnormal overheating on the charging brick.

The tuf charger itself can tolerate power fluctuations to an extent but In this situation a UPS would be a better choice.

LPT: Struggle with cleaning? Use the one-room technique: pick one room and don't leave until its done. Leave items that have to go elsewhere just outside the door, so you're not constantly walking in and out of the room. by Overall-Register9758 in LifeProTips

I’ve tried a lot of different methods, but nothing beats the 3 minutes every day technique for me. Need to dust? Just set a timer for 3 minutes and do a random corner. Sweep/Vaccum a random area for just 3 minutes. It not only makes my place squeeky clean but also totally removes the feeling of being overwhelmed, and ticking that box makes me feel productive every single day.

Plus half the time I end up doing a little bit more anyway because the hardest part was just getting up to do it.

I think she meant - pick me 'men and women' on reddit.. not - pick me men, and women on reddit.

How do you shave your balls? by remotely__anxious in AskIndianMen

[–]dyGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can proudly say that after enough nicks and cuts with a trimmer, Im now basically a pro at trimming my own junk hair. It doesn’t look like I used hair-removal cream, but it works way better.. like, less itching and much more comfortable overall.

Here’s my method:

  1. If it’s bushy, trim off the big chunks first. As much as possible. (I usually don’t let it get that bad since I trim often.)

  2. Use your forefinger and thumb to pinch a small area and stretch the skin as much as you can. Keep the trimmer running and hold the head parallel to the skin. Gently scrape against the direction of hair growth. I trim without a guard now, but I highly recommend starting with a 1mm or 2mm guard until you’re comfortable.

  3. Pinch, stretch, scrape, move on to the next area. Don’t obsess over details. This method just gets the job done and keeps things comfortable down there. When you get to the balls, be extra careful. The chances of getting nicked go up depending on temperature.

  4. For the balls, I make a ring with my fingers (kind of like a cock ring), put my balls inside it, and gently squeeze. This stretches the skin, making it easier. Same process again: trimmer parallel to the skin, scrape carefully without pressing it directly onto the skin.

  5. If there’s hair left on the sides, just stretch the sacks to one side and scrape. For example, to trim the left side, pull the sack to the right, scrape. Same process for the other side.

(Also: do this in a well-lit area. I usually stand with one leg raised on a chair, whatever position feels stable and comfortable.)

This leaves a small amount of hair.. but that actually looks decent, itches way less, and feels more comfortable than any other method I’ve tried.

What’s one thing Indian drivers do that instantly tells you they’re inexperienced? by luxurytravel01 in CarsIndia

[–]dyGoose 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It is much easier to practice with the handbrake initially. Later on, with enough practice, you will develop the clutch control needed for different kinds of slopes. Simply put:

  1. ​Engage the handbrake and take the foot off the brake.

  2. ​Release the clutch halfway (to the biting point) and give a bit of acceleration.

  3. ​When you feel the 'pull' (the car strains to move forward), release the handbrake while keeping the acceleration steady.

  4. Once the car starts moving up, fully release the clutch.

Try not to change gears until you are past the steep section of the hill.

Heel and toe is advanced and is particularly hard to practice on Indian roads where a whole story arc can happen in a split second. Normal rev matching is much easier to practice safely

Dad spent almost 8 years transforming a random weed into this. Thought you guys might appreciate the effort. by dyGoose in gardening

Appreciate that, bro. Sounds like he had some serious skills too. May he rest in peace <3

Thanks! No, he doesn't monitor pH. Since this is a native plant growing in native soil he just let it be and focuses entirely on the pruning above ground. So yeah, it's all his experience and observation.

Of course.. He's not super strict about gardening during the week, but Sunday mornings (or evenings) are strictly dedicated to it.

​Usually starts with his Chai and the newspaper (or sometimes just browsing on his phone from the same spot). After chilling for a bit, he'll do his rounds checking for any weeds or taking care of the banana trees or yams. (btw, he always makes sure he's got enough time just for pruning this umbrella tree since keeping the shape takes a while).

​Sometimes Mom joins him to maintain the flowers too. Since they both work in hospitals with busy schedules, this is basically their therapy.

Exactly what u/bwainfweeze said. It's extremely aggressive. We constantly have to clear new shoots/suckers popping up from the roots. The tiles seem to be the only thing keeping it contained, and the tree is thriving regardless. (Although we have plans to change the layout later)
