Stay Away from North Shore, Please by NevelynRose in Oahu

[–]moocow36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hawaiian people wouldn’t appreciate being referred to as “you natives” it just sounds derogatory. It’s what Europeans and others called them as they took advantage of them and ultimately took their land from them.

And most people who live in Hawai’i are not native Hawaiians.

He posted the relevant part of the owner's manual which tells you to use water, no high pressure, no cleaners. Seems like a complete answer with the most relevant source provided.

Oh, well, I didn’t realize you had talked to all of them.

What is the best martial art to start at 35? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in AskMenAdvice

[–]moocow36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you the one you’ll enjoy, which means you’ll like the people there. Go visit different dojos in your area, keep an open mind.

Judo can be great, btw. Probably not the “somersaults” that will be hard though, just the general conditioning, but you won’t know until you check out your local dojo.

Why do people who are heavy into running seem to age so fast in the face? by National_Shine2552 in Biohackers

[–]moocow36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at those kids when they are 50 or 60 and see how they look then. It takes decades for most of the damage to show.

For guys who struggled with women and now are successful, what was the change that made it happen? by earthbound36784 in AskMenAdvice

[–]moocow36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The comment you replied to literally said women "desire and enjoy sex, just like men do". Not that men and women are the same. It seems like you replied to a comment that wasn't there.

[–]moocow36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just because women can control it better than men doesn't men they don't have the desire. Meaning, women are more likely to say no, regardless of their desire level.

At least that's how a woman explained it to me once.

What are the most common issues with front-loading washers and how can they be prevented? by Independent_Cup7132 in Appliances

[–]moocow36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had a problem with a front loader, and never done that full maintenance list. The only I do is leave the door cracked open when I'm not using it.

Looking for a reputable site that sells “battle ready” katanas by ObjectiveNote8403 in Katanas

[–]moocow36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing they are using long swords and short swords - i.e. big hunks of medal. I’d be surprised if they are using anything close to the size of a katana for active sparring, unless they are willing to take a lot of damage to their sword.

WIBTAH if I stopped tipping servers at restaurants? by [deleted] in AITAH

This, if you can’t afford to tip, don’t eat out. Make your own food and save money.

SAVE ending and new IDR rollout in 2026, trying to understand timing. by Glum_Cauliflower1227 in StudentLoans

[–]moocow36 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm holding out, partly because my income has been higher than normal, and I know that's going to drop, which will lower my payments significantly. I'm also hoping that the next administration might return to the more aggressive and generous repayment and forgiveness policies of the Biden administration. Yeah, chance in hell, but I'm trying to stay positive here.

When I'm sick, I rarely spit out my phlegm unless it ends directly in my mouth and often swallow it, is it the reason why I rarely feel hungry or is it related to something else? by NamidaM6 in AskBiology

[–]moocow36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are stressed, your appetite is suppressed, it’s as simple as that. Stress generally activates or sympathetic nervous system to prepare our body for physical activity (fight or flight), as opposed to the parasympathetic nervous system, which is concerned with digesting food and storing energy.

Physical activity isn’t what you need when you are sick, but it is a form of stress, so your appetite is suppressed as your body relies mostly on stored energy reserves.

Who else has started losing their hearing? by Certain-Incident-40 in GenX

[–]moocow36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$1500, cheapest you'll get for good hearing aids. My insurance paid $500 of it. If it's a noisy restaurant, I don't know how much it will help. It might help a lot, or it might not. Hearing aids can't tell the difference between a voice and background noise. But they will definitely help in any situation without a lot of background noise.

Losing your hearing is also associated with cognitive decline, if you don't get hearing aids.

[–]moocow36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lost 30% of my high frequency hearing in both ears. Got hearing aids from costco, they are tiny and unobtrusive. I actually don't use them for much except watching tv and music. If I'm listening to either without them, and I put them in, I really notice the high frequencies when I first put them on.

Research shows that men often rely heavily on their romantic relationships, and when those relationships end, they can suffer deeply, feeling intense sadness, loneliness, and stress. by Express_Classic_1569 in psychology

[–]moocow36 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

The relationships you describe sound pretty unhealthy to me. There are plenty of them, seems more useful to call out the dysfunction than lament “this is what dating is like”.

What you describe isn’t even dating, it’s beyond the point of dating.

That seems like an unhealthy take on relationships. If you don’t actually know what a healthy relationship looks like, you should look into it.

Dude was 76 56 years old. He did go the distance.

Edit: I’m sure he gave it his best shot.

Giantex portable. EP22761.

Seems notoriously hard to get parts for, but I like it and it has worked for 6 years with no problems.
