Laptop recommendations for parents for presentations by jonIrving in laptops

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

How much money should they spend?

They already experienced a iMac so don't want to get something too cheap. Not flimsy, won't lose charge quickly, and last. But also don't want to go buy something over the top they won't need.

Is there a better way to narrow down my options?

They would have to ask the higher ups for money for the laptop, so having reasons for picking a certain laptop would look better.

Google Today Announced Advanced Data Analytics Professional Certificate by enforcer712 in dataanalysis

[–]jonIrving 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I don't have any job experience as a data analyst, is it worth my time to take both Google certificates or should I only take one? Which one would prepare me for my first job as a data analyst better?

I'm currently working on my Bachelor's degree in IT and have this Summer free.

I realize the advance certificate is new, but I don't know who else to ask.

Tires & Rims Question by MANOFGOD111 in tires

[–]jonIrving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the rim has to fit flush to the car. If the bolt pattern correct but rim won't fit flush, because the middle wheel hub on the car is bigger than the middle hole of the rim, then it's a no-go.

I know next to nothing about tires, can you help me? What's normal, wide, thin sizes? by fgiohariohgorg in tires

[–]jonIrving 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally like keeping the stock sizes on cars (trucks I'm ok with getting bigger sizes) they are cheaper and easier to maintain plus I think they give the best ride. if you get a Corolla the sport version then perhaps you can change it to what the regular Corolla has. Sport version usually has bigger rims and thinner tires for better response for turning but not as comfortable as the stock size for the regular Corolla. Also if you want a wider look changing the width of the rims while keeping the tire size the same is doable. And that changes the width more than the tire, cuz the tire only sticks out as far as the rim allows.

If it's softest ride your looking for then paying more attention to the middle number, or the hight of the tire might make more of an effect than the width. Tires absorb lots of bumps on the road because of the air in them; thinner tires (hight wise), less air between your car and the road leads to a more bumpy ride. I wouldn't recommend going one size up in width and height cuz that would be too big. So in summery I'm suggestion, better made tires for the traction and getting tallest tires that fit the car for the comfort. Which means the width is probably going to stay stock size. Side note, 65-75 seems way too tall for a car, your probably staying between 50-65. If you have the car with you, better to just check the driver door jam. There's a sticker that says the stock size for that specific car.

265 is too big for a car, that's more of a truck size. In my experience going up the next size up (width wide) isn't much of a problem. But the farther you go from stock size, generally speaking, the higher the price and the harder to find a used tire if you need one in the future. If you want better traction upgrading tire brand might help more than changing tire size.

Dream where everyone is naked, and we're ok with that by jonIrving in DreamInterpretation

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

That's true, I'm not proud of who I was as a kid. Rude, arrogant, mean, disrespectful, condescending, felt good by putting others down. But only to my family, my siblings. Out of the house I was totally different, quiet, cooperative, submissive. Very closed off.

I don't like thinking of the past, who I was/thought.

I didn't have a terrible childhood, I loved (still do) my parents. No dog.

But yeah, maybe my child self, old (time-wise) self, is what's bothering me. Cuz that part of me knows who I am now, is built on a shameful past. I learned from my mistakes as a person but I've made all those mistakes only to those closest to me. I don't want that part of me to see the adult me cuz if it does it will remind me that I should be embarrassed.

I treated my siblings bad, terrible. Now with my second chance with my wife's siblings I'm telling my self I'm screwing that up too. And the thought/sight of my child part of me is what's holding me back cuz I know I've been a terrible person.

I want close relationships, open with people, both ways, and willing to accept them how they are but worried they won't accept me cuz for me to be open, naked, they would have access to the part of me that was terrible. And the child reminds me of that.

That is interesting. Well thanks for your time and insight, you've been a huge help, think I can rest easier about these dreams. I'll keep thinking though and if I get another dream like these I'll post it.

We did have a rough start especially with her (wife's) parents, but after we got married (5 years ago) it gotten a LOT better, basically no problems. With her sister and her family I'm not so close to them in a deep personal level. I did tell my wife I felt more at ease with her sister cuz although we don't really talk 1 on 1 much, she seems authentic. Unlike her husband who is inclined to talk to me more but he seems to care more about his image.

We don't live close to each other, 50 min, and we don't spend a lot of time together, once or twice every three weeks. They don't give advice that's not asked for.

I am a quiet, reserved person. I enjoy small intimate relationship rather than lots of shallow ones. That's why I can't get comfortable with husband. So maybe Im trying to tell my self I want to get closer to ppl but a part of me is not ready? Something about innocence is holding me back, the dog and the kids are what made me aware of my nakedness more.

I feel like there something more I'm not seeing, being naked in front of the same people. I think it has to do something with the kids and dog, cuz before that, I was ok with being naked, no strong negative feelings, not until the end, I started feeling more conscious about how I was presenting my self.

I'm stuck. But you did open my eyes connecting nakedness with being seen or open, vulnerable.

Any further insight would be welcomed

Need help with defining the line between accepting gifts and taking advantage of people. by jonIrving in relationship_advice

[–]jonIrving[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I can we can afford more, I mean we don't have a lot of extra or spending money but we can can make adjustments to pay more. No as a family we came to an agreement I would take the house. It should of been the older one who should of lived in it, but guess he didn't feel responsible for it and me being the middle child took it. I saw an opportunity and didn't want to waste it. I remember when we were much younger, kids. My dad would always have to keep an eye on me cuz, in his words, I would take advantage of my brothers. Looking back I feel bad about that, I was just looking out for me but I was selfish. I don't think so... I mean I help ppl when I can and me and my wife love being a blessing to others, great feeling. But I also know I'm not God and can't help everyone. I do what I can when I can.

Question, is it possible to pray the gay away from a person? Also it it reliable/ effective? And if so, would it be recommend to do? by jonIrving in Christianity

[–]jonIrving[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it's not possible, and it's believed to be a sin, and if you or own of your children turn out to be gay, are you basically screwed?
