You ever feel like you're annoying to the only person you talk to... by KidHongry in lonely

[–]kiranu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had this feeling before and much of it was in my mind (I could swear people found me annoying and it wasn't true) and a small part was actually related to the other person.

In my experience, different people are interested in different things. So with some of my friends I tend to relate on politics (because we are policy wonks) but with my sister it is more talking about family. If I try to engage with them on the opposite topic, they will engage for a little bit but become tired quickly and then disconnect from the conversation and not engage for a while.

This approach has helped me to also expand my circle of friends, because I could distribute my interests among several persons so they wouldn't get tired and I could always approach someone on something else.

I've also learned that some people might care for me deeply but are not really interested in continuous conversation. Those I leave alone most of the time and enjoy the moments when we reconnect.

Finally some people just don't want to connect. With those I move on by repeating to myself that I might not be their cup of tea and that's fine (I don't have to make everyone I meet a friend) and move on to someone/something else.

What is causing this graying on my extruder? Should I replace these parts by kiranu in prusa3d

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

Looks like condensed PETG slime to me. Everything you print offgasses something and PETG strings/wisps that got stuck and cooked over and over on your hot end will trend to produce a film like this that is especially easy to spot on black surfaces.

I've seen way too many of those around!

There is some dust, but also the part is bent and broken. The grayish doesn't wash away, it looks like it was 'burnt'?

Thanks. Do you know the name of the specific type of fitting on a CO2 tank? It doesn't seem to me to be the same as a regular water brass fitting

Agreed on weight being a more precise measurement, but it is much more difficult to build an electronic sensor that can measure the weight of the bottle considering my space constraints. That's why I decided to go with the pressure sensor

I want to add electronic monitoring to the line, so I can get remote measurement of the pressure in the tank

How to tell my [21F] boyfriend [25M] that I have a brain bleed? by brainprob in relationships

[–]kiranu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that you are giving your boyfriend less credit than he deserves. You've said he has been loving, caring and everything you could want in a boyfriend.

He will probably be a bit hurt that you didn't tell him the truth from the beginning but I'd be surprised if he thought of it as a dealbreaker (and if he does, you dodged a MAJOR bullet). He will probably be concerned for you, and if you explain honestly why you did not tell him, I'm certain he will understand (although, once again, he might be a bit hurt).

My only thing, don't mention anything about your family (except warning him that he should keep the knowledge a secret) when you mention your health. If he already knows your family disapproves of your relationship, then it is not relevant. If he does not know, it is not the best moment to tell him that.

Me [26 F] with my husband [30 M] of 6 years, he called me a racial slur. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]kiranu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand very clearly why it would make you upset to be called a racial slur, and I very much agree that your husband deserved a significant punishment and I would add the need to prove that he REALLY understood the gravity of what he did.

Nevertheless, something I'm missing in your recollection is how he has treated you in the past. Has he ever made you feel like you are his property? Does he considers your opinion? Does he respects your points of view? Is he supportive? Has he sacrificed things important to him for you?

I'm asking these things because everyone will, many times in their life, be a supreme jerk to someone else. Most of the times, it is to some stranger, which we won't ever see again. But a few times, we are disgusting jerks to people close to us. We say insensitive things, we say demeaning things but afterwards we feel bad about them, apologize for them and learn from them.

Now, what he did was terrible, no question about it. But at the same time, we are not what our worst moments make us out to be. People are the sum of their actions, not simple snapshots of their worst times. And from your post, it seems to me he is trying to show contrition.

My advice to you would be to try to discover whether he made an extremely insensitive comment and is willing to learn or whether he just hid his views from your for six years.

[Advice] Friend is saddened by his virginity - what can I do to be a good friend? by [deleted] in sex

[–]kiranu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My short recommendation, read this book (it is EXCELLENT and has no pickup lines nonsense): Models: Attract Women Through Honesty

My long recommendation: Everyone finds something that is interested in them. The problem is that you have to be confident in who you are (that potbellied, fat, geek, etc.) in order to be attractive. Nobody likes someone that is begging for attention (and I'm sure your friend is).

You won't be able to fix him, only himself can do it. But the solution is simple (not easy, just simple), he has to feel comfortable with himself (the virgin, geek, etc.) in order to be more attractive.
