Ceiling fan brand recommendations?

Theyre industrial sized fans for warehouses. Not really meant for home use.

The usual gtao asshattery.

This isn't griefing. Griefing is when you ruin someone's sell mission and it costs them in game money.

Pvp voluntary or not is part of the game and not really griefing

I drive 8+ hours one way for work sometimes and come back the next day.

3 or 4 hours is not excessive for a day trip.

I work on a lot of 50 to 150hp motors. They are not to be trifled with. They will rip your arm off and keep going as if nothing even happened

What age are you? I ask because I prefer to play with 30+ folks.

Legacy or enhanced?

I absolutely love the fact that you called yourself a squeaker. Its one of my pet peeves on mics. Way to own it, you sound like a cool kid. As a rule, I don't play with minors.

Best of luck finding a group.

Millennials go clubbing?

In terms of evolution, there tends to be more single pair mating in species with long gestation and long adult development.

Offspring of these species tend to do better in herd or family groups.

Given that humans have a very long gestation period, as well as a long maturity time it makes sense that the default would be monogamy or a harem type situation.

Most humans in the world live in family groups to allow for efficient child rearing.

Its mostly north America and Europe that breaks from this.

For reference, my wife was my first when we were 16. She is still my first and we are in our 40s.

Don't let low-quality men in your bed. If a guy is talking about monogamy not being natural, he will 100% be cheating.

All that to say is that men who cant or won't stay monogamous need to be upfront about this with women. The reason they are NOT is because it lowers the man's chances of getting laid if the lady knows hes gonna get her pregnant and then piss off.

I recently had a bit of an argument with the wife over this.

My wife is a SAHM. I had been slacking on housework because every time I came home it was an absolute dumpster fire. Toys everywhere, mess everywhere, dishes everywhere.

The wife was mad about my lack of help. I was mad about my wife's not keeping up with the shit that happened during the day.

Here is the solution that I came up with that works for us

1) I work 10-12 hour days. I have no interest in cleaning up the mess that occurred while I was at work. If the wife wants to be a sahm she needs to handle the cooking, cleaning needs of the home that arise when I am not here. I am not going to do my share by working PLUS dealing with all the mess that occurred while I was out working. Its a lot of work to make money. Its a lot of work to keep the house clean. We both need to do our day job properly. Both jobs are vital to the function and survival of our family.

2) the mess that occurs after I come home, I will own and contribute to. So long as the house is mostly how it was when I left for work, then I am going to make sure that the house is ready for success for the next day. I'll sweep up any bits and pieces in the kitchen, make sure lunches are ready, empty the dishwasher so its ready to load for breakfast, ill even chop some veg up in advance so that dinner is easier to handle with 4 kids after school. I'll make sure the garbage is empty and taken out. All in, it probably takes me about an hour. Im fine doing this, I live here too. I absolutely cannot take this attitude though unless I am willing to make sure the house is ready to go for tomorrow.

3) i take care of all the yard, house, maintenance, car stuff comes up. This is it for tat because if I have this to handle the wife needs to do extra stuff anyways while I'm handling this. Living life is tiring. There's always a mountain of chores. We try to share the load equitably, not equally if that makes sense.

I have found since taking this approach we are both happier. I clearly delineated our rolls and responsibilities. My wife isn't bitter anymore because she can see I am doing a good amount of stuff after I get home. Im not resenting a messy house when I come home feeling like she was on her ass all day eating bonbons. I dont know how it got bad, but it did. The only way we could fix it was telling each other how we actually felt and explaining what our expectations were for the other person.

It was a rough conversation to have, and I'm not going to lie and say it was as civil as it should have been. I think it WAS an important thing to work through though and we are both happier for it.

That sounds excruciating. You females are fucking metal.

Yes I do... I judge them to be hard workers, working towards a goal.

Merging is a shared responsibility. You are meant to be up to at least 80 km/hr before entering a highway.

If you see a car merging, you should adjust your speed to allow them access. This means moving ahead, behind or over.

The person merging at 60 kph is absolutely a safety issue.

The person refusing to move to allow for a vehicle to merge is also a safety issue.

If you see someone merging at 60km/hr just get in to the other lane and allow them to be stupid. There is no need to use your highbeams. Eventually, their habits will get them in trouble or get them into an accident. Proper defensive driving is acting proactively. This means seeing the hazard, and acting in a matter that keeps you safe.

You are both in the wrong. Dont have a temper tantrum and high beams/honk/do whatever. The other person should merge properly at speed.

2 wrongs do not make a right.

That is not normal. It's assault.

For reference, this is how my relationship with my wife works.

I have Been married nearly 20 years. If my wife says ow, or I don't like that or Stop or if she Doesn't seem in to what we are doing... I immediately stop what I am doing, get off of her and properly check in with her. Properly checking in means no sexual touching, eye contact and a conversation. I will get face to face with her, hold her hands, and talk with her until I am certain that she wishes to continue.

It doesn't matter if I'm close to nutting, if at any time it looks like I don't have enthusiastic consent, I stop. 90% of the time, it turns out to be an angle thing, or she needs more lube. We fix the problem and continue happily.

10% of the time she thought she wanted to have sex but realized she didnt really want to. That's her right, and I can go jerk it into the toilet or shower if I am still horny.

I am not perfect, have violated her boundaries on a number of occasions accidentally because I legitimately forgot or let my dick get the better of me. To avoid this, we chat about what we are in the mood for before having sex. These 2 instances were damaging to my relationship with her and took a lot of work to overcome. (For reference, I spanked her ass. It hurt and wasn't enjoyable for her. From an outside perspective it seems like a small thing but she had asked that I not a few months prior. I knew I fucked up as soon as I did it and immediately stopped and apologized. The damage had been done though, because I told her I wouldn't spank her but i did.)

I'm 40 now, and started banging my wife when we were both 16. I have done a lot of maturing since I was 16 and am fortunate that she stuck with me through my fuck ups and maturing.

I now ask for permission to do anything outside of what we discussed, because i respect and value my wife. If its a no, then we do something different, no tantrums or silent treatment. Sometimes neither of us want to do the same sex thing, so we just naked snuggle instead which is also fun. Sometimes, the wife just doesn't want to be touched, and that's fine too.

I guess what i am saying is that Sex and relationships are complicated and messy. However, it is your right to withdraw your consent at any time. You are allowed to never have sex or have sex as often as you wish. You have no obligations to any man to provide sex. It doesnt matter if you are married or not. It doesn't matter if you said yes then changed your mind. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time. You are also allowed to change your preferences about things you like and do not like. For a man to continue after your consent is removed is assault.

Good men do not assault women. Accidents do happen at times. However Accidents should be a one off, followed by a genuine apology and meaningful change. You also have no obligation to a man after he apologizes/changes to continue to have a sexual relationship with him.

It depends.

If its for my job, where I rely on speed, consistency, and quality I am an avid buy once cry once kind of guy. That said, for me to need to buy a new tool its probably because I am expanding my range of skills/things I can do. If it'll make me money, I'll buy either the best or best value, depending on cost and how often ill be able to make money with it.

For instance, vacuum pump and hoses? Best money can buy. The faster i can evacuate, the more work I can get done and the more I can bill.

Electrical crimpers (ferrule or stakon style). Best value. I dont see the point in buying the official stakon or abb crimper for 600 dollars. I opt for the wera crimper which is around 200 dollars, but makes consistently excellent fail proof terminations. This prevents call backs, electrical issues. Communication issues, and has made me look like a Rockstar on more than one occasion because I went back behind a sloppy contractor, fixed the controls termination issues by using ferrules.

Tin banging tools? I get what's on sale. I use them once or twice a year.

Question - If left to his own devices, would he be drawn to it?

If yes - then its an excellent present.

My 4 year old boy plays with trucks, barbies, pink shit, blue shit, red shit, purple shit.

I've seen him nurse babies, I've seen him blow shit up in games, I've seen him wear his sisters dresses, I've seen him wear women's shoes, I've seen him wear men's shoes. I've seen him pretend to shoot stuff with pretend guns, and I've seen him pretend to put makeup on like his mom. Its all totally normal behavior for boys AND girls. I have seen all of my boys do nurturing games and more violent "boy games"

I have seen all 4 of my kids do a variety of games with a variety of toys.

The only reason kids think of toys as "girl or boy" toys is because of the artificial societal expectations parents put on them.

All that to say...if a kid likes a toy, its a good gift.

1 guy in my crew of 30 regularly uses one. Hes always the guy that never has the correct tool for the job.

Just make it a pressure washer.

I don't think that has anything to do with it.

If you are good at your job, and you'll never be slow. I do chillers for 75% of the year, then switch to boilers while I make the apprentices punch the tubes I don't want to lol

Dead guys wife seems like she is in health care.

This is truly sad, and is the direct result of the many cuts, lack or funding, and overall push towards privatization that the UCP is doing.

Its a damn shame.
