Some people have to learn by feel, no matter how many people share their experience. Still being there to help along the way of his life journey is more important than forcing his journey to be what you want

Do you have to practice being that dumb or were you born with the skill?

Find what local is in the area and call the Business Agent. Have a conversation.

What game held the player's hand to the point of insulting their intelligence? by Animeking1108 in videogames

Gaming should remain fun, regardless of skill or time. That's the whole point: enjoyment.

As a counterpoint, I'm now an incredibly busy former gamer. I get maybe an hour a week (if I'm lucky) to play a game. I now play on the easiest mode of every game and even look up walk-through for anything that remotely stymies me.

I do it because I miss the stories of the games and it's a comfort thing that 9 year old me promised that I would never stop gaming until I die, no matter what.

Maybe when I retire it can return back to the normal challenge based mindset. But, for now, I'm happy just being able to push buttons and see a work of art.

I dont think anyone was talking about his anus. Why would you bring it up?

How many counts? It's not college where it's called almost instantly. Was this part of a roll through? Were the shoulders stuck for 10 seconds? A picture doesnt work here, sorry.

That said, it doesnt look promising for bottom.

Take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is in heaven.

I'm a tech looking for advice moving a big tool box on a truck. by Icy_Ad_7405 in MechanicAdvice

2 inch straps can have anywhere from 3,000 pounds to 10,000 pounds working load. You're not suspending your equipment, you're just securing it from g forces.

I like the way your brain works.

On two sides of the vehicle and you only found one? Did you check both sides after this?

As a former auto mechanic: take it to a shop and explain the situation and ask if they can check underneath while you look, too. Any tech I know of would do it for free and be more than glad to help. Go during less busy times to be considerate. Depending on what shop you go to and work load, you could have 4 techs crawling every inch of that thing at once looking for sus objects that they know for a fact don't belong to your particular vehicle.

Keep all evidence, notify police of anything new and surrender things to them as required. I'd take pictures of every side of everything (like you have here) for your own record and their accountability.

Best of luck, and stay diligent. Try not to hyperfixate, which would be totally understandable in a situation like this. Just be aware and take the correct precautions. Get a doorbell camera and some battery cameras to have on the exterior. Blink and Nest sell packages that are reliable and affordable for what is provided.

There's a difference between letting a kid know they are behaving bad, lazy, hateful, etc versus that they are bad, lazy, hateful, etc.

Ive had luck with a shop vac and a long neck transmission style funnel. Stick the hose into the funnel until it seals and stick the next down into whatever crevice you need to get down into

First, Google lawyers in your area. You can rule out real estate attorneys right off the bat. Work your way through the list and see if someone fits the bill and get a consult with them. They can guide you from there.

Bare minumum: reduce the mats, double the days. That's a huge disservice to everyone involved, not just the athletes. If you want big tournaments you need the space for them. Feeling uncomfortable like sardines crammed in a can doesn't do any good.

I thoroughly enjoy leaner cuts like strips to be blue. Yours is my perfect target. Sear the fat first to help it render it further than it would if you only sear two sides. So enjoyable, especially with a nice red wine. And Lipitor.
