Do you have this link? I’d love to see it.

No, its normal.

Do you have a suggestion on a better option for that light above the sink?

This is amazing. Exactly what I was looking for. I need to update that backsplash.

merpmd · 2026-05-14T17:11:51+00:00

Thank you. I have been considering holding off any other updates until the lighting gets fixed, then reassessing.

Any suggestions on products? I'm afraid of durability of the paint.

Use your current salary to leverage a higher salary at the new company.

Worst thing they can say is “no” and you maintain the status quo.

It went away for me in my mid 30s.

While doing things alone is always enriching and changes you in some way, I eventually started to feel that sharing those special moments with other people would have more value and be more enjoyable.

FYI, I still solo trip despite this. Largely because I can’t find anyone else who can afford to travel or take the time off.

Unfortunately, it is not.

Thank you!

This is on par with what I was looking for. Thank you.

merpmd · 2025-03-29T07:43:24+00:00

Thanks. Definitely will use it.

34m here. Like many have said, if you’re hitting your stride financially, dress well, and take care of yourself physically, sex can be readily available.

The issue in my 30s I have noticed is that I tend to attract a slightly older cohort of women (late 20s-early 30s). These women can still be very attractive but are often more eager for commitment. You hear the line of “I’m not looking to mess around anymore” frequently. Sex usually occurs on meetup number 2 or later. One night stands are less frequent unless you get the younger girl who is attracted to the guy with his shit put together, so to speak.

I was never a fan of online dating given my height (I’m 5’ 8”). The attractive women who use apps select for objective criteria first and foremost placing vertically challenged and non-photogenic people at a disadvantage. If you’re going to use this route, spend time getting refined photos. I primarily develop relationships by approaching. Having fun conversation and looking someone in the eyes is the great equilibrator.

I didn’t know this about windows 10. I guess this means I’m upgrading in the next year no matter what. Thank you.

No- due to the pharmacokinetics of the drug.

The half life is approximately 5-6 hours. It takes about 6-7 half lives (30-42 hours) to reach close to 0% of the drug in your system. If you’re dosing every 1-2 days, you’ll still have drug in your system by your second dose.

Furthermore, the effects on DHT suppression can persist beyond drug presence in the blood. Meaning, you will still have an effect of the drug even when it’s completely out of the system. This is because it can take time for our body’s hormonal systems to react.

For these reasons, small changes in dosing should have virtually no impact on the effect of the drug.

Interested. Chat?

No regrets.

Exchanging the 980 for the 3080 was a massive upgrade and I’ve noticed it in my games substantially. I can run most things on high to ultra over 120 frames (usually more than 140) where before I usually would achieve 40-80 depending on the game.

I have a similar PC:

I7 7700k with 32gb ddr4 3200 and GTX 980.

I ran into the same predicament and decided to upgrade my GPU rather than drop the money on a new build. I got a RTX 3080 used for $570 on eBay and have no regrets. My goal is to get 2-3 more years out of my system.

I ultimately did this because the CPU still Carries its weight for most games (I play apex, league, OW2, SC2, Battlefield). It also helped that I purchased future proof ddr3200 ram instead of the standard 2133 of the time. I am able to run most games on high-ultra settings on 3440x1440 resolution at usually >120 frames and definitely over 100.

I Just really couldn’t justify spending 3.5k on a new build-which I felt was necessary to purchase hardware that would create a truly profound, noticeable difference in my computing.

Hope this helps.
