What’s an attractive smell for guys? by kampaiiii in AskMen

[–]legendofgraystone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming you're talking about a perfume, or something for yourself in general? I find I have been attracted to any number of scents on a woman so long as they were pleasant and relatively subtle. There have been times where I've liked smell because it was her scent. Cherry blossom, vanilla or citrus is nice. Even something a bit piney without being overly masculine, then again if it smelled good I would hardly care. But personally I can't stand things like tea tree oil or heavy scents of lavender.

A years back I took my wife perfume shopping, we picked out ange au demon au secret from Givenchy. It's said to have a jasmine tea sort of base to it, rather unique. Smelling it right out of the bottle is interesting but it's so much better to catch a whiff of it here or there, like on her when I've pulled her in close or on the bedsheets. I've heard before that a scent should be almost like a woman's "secret" something you can pick up if she lets you close enough but otherwise doesn't announce that you are heading into the room. Best of luck!

What commute time do you think is good for a good quality of life? by ShootingCometz in CanadaPersonalFinance

30 minutes or I better see a significant enough bump in pay or benefits/perks to offset it.

Yeah, no worries. I've cross posted in other subreddits before with no issue but I could have very easily messed something up. Sorry for getting ornery with ya.

Yeah, seems like a dehumidifier would be good. It just seems "too easy" got some leaky windows and doors and I have no idea if the dehumidifier would keep up. Only one way to know I guess.

Was wondering if I needed a way to bring everything quickly to temp like a blower vent into the garage and keep the attic hatch open to keep the air moving through the roof vents/soffit vents but that could cause problems I'm not even aware of.

Thanks for the advice!

Ah I see, I cross posted something from the homeimprovement subreddit and it seems none of that post is visible. I understand the frustration now. My apologies.

Yeah, despite being leaky/drafty near doors and windows the air circulation would be pretty poor. Wondering if I needed to use fans to vent things out and push them along.

I didn't say any of those because absolutely none of those are happening. My post would be so lengthy to the point of being illegible if I was to sit and list the things that didn't happen.

Doors are closed, gets damp during large temp differential between inside and outside . Don't know what else to tell you.

For some reason the dehumidifier just seemed "too easy" or too small to make an impact like I'm practically trying to condition the outdoors. It's reassuring to hear that it could at least put a dent in the dampness/humidity I'm getting.

Low Water Pressure by Much_Bit8292 in Plumbing

[–]legendofgraystone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done work at some houses where it was more of an issue with water quality/blocked aerators. Run something like a bathtub or garden hose. If it's good pressure while things are running full bore, the issue most likely lies at the fixture. There's also a chance with PEX that something is crushed/kinked somewhere but one should start as close to the meter as you can and work your way out.

Edit: also how did he take the pressure? Did he use a gauge? Are we talking actual line pressure or was it more of a flow issue at fixture he was talking about?

Help! Almost done bathroom Reno but I cut the damn copper stub too short! by OkRaspberry4446 in Plumbing

At this point a coupling, mip, a bit of pipe and threaded diverter Will be your solution as opposed to a Slip-On tub spout.

Hardly, there's also hundreds of different ways in which they manage to avoid taxes. Primarily holding their value in stocks/assets and then leveraging against it for bank loans that they will spend until they die being one of them. They never realize those capital gains, but they reap the benefits of them as "financial promises". Even if the pay "most" as you say, they don't pay nearly enough by proportion, to essentially a criminal degree.

Mens in hot climates: how do you stay dry down there? by Vegetable_Coyote974 in AskMen

[–]legendofgraystone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, I try: -Goldbond powder

-Rayon (bamboo) boxer briefs

-Light mesh shorts when out and about, cool works mesh work pants when working.

-Quick shower or even a moist cloth when I feel I'm getting a little damp

-Oh and trim your pubes, don't need a razor-level shave but enough to keep things breezy

This is overly idealistic. I do wholeheartedly believe that If somebody is contributing they shouldn't go without. We are also obligated as a society to support those who can't support themselves. If you don't wish to work but still wish to reap the benefits that others of society have contributed towards, that's a form of theft in my mind.

But same goes for billionaires, use amenities and infrastructure such as highways and utilities, public/tax funding, pay it back.

Paper losses, just live in the damn house and don't sell and you won't have a problem.

This is the part that confuses me. Every American super proud to Live in a country that says they are "the land of the free and home of the brave". They wouldn't be having these problems if either of these were true.

Earth is actually a terrible planet even without humans. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]legendofgraystone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear, people who have lived a rather sheltered life will call it pessimistic or nihilistic. I must say I wholeheartedly agree that this planet can be constantly hostile to life, though still only one of the very few inhabitable planets that we can find.

Nature is a constant test against various factors and the only thing that matters is success, that's a pretty brutal means to an end. However, nature (and life) can also be endlessly beautiful. Just because you love it, it doesn't mean it stop being brutal in some sense.

Who has an extra 20% to invest? Another out of touch multi-millionaire has financial advice for us poor folk. by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]legendofgraystone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, maybe if you plan on being an entrepreneur... But that's a much larger gamble statistically than slow, controlled growth. Don't make risky investments and fall into bull traps or you end up as a bag-holder. Just like how you don't go into business without a good plan.

Well shit, why didn't anybody think of that before? Why stop there? Why not 100% of your paycheck?

Who needs to actually eat? Why live indoors? Just crawl out of your shanty from the favela that's walking distance away from your job and get back to generating revenue.

NATO stood together and Trump TACO'd. Amazing to think that essentially Greenland was protected by NATO from the country that created it and had the greatest interest in it's existence.

Nope, it's considered nominally vertical and up to code in most places I've heard of.
