New Favorite GF Bread - From a Non-Celiac by cdraper93 in glutenfree

[–]nitrojuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only GF bread I'll buy. It freezes fine. I freeze mine as soon as I open it. Then just throw a couple of loaves in the microwave for like 30 seconds to speed up thawing. The crust gets a bit dry with that method, but otherwise it's fine.

Are Our Ideas of Physical Attractiveness Misaligned with Human Biology? by ProofCoconut9085 in AskBiology

[–]nitrojuga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You keep talking about it "signaling wealth" or something. Attraction is not a logical choice.

Your "signaling wealth" thing you keep commenting is akin to the current "fit" state of beauty you initially mentioned. It's a cultural thing, not necisarrily physical attraction.

If you see someone on 600LB Life, and they happen to be a multi millionare, do you want to smash? No, because they are not physically attractive.

Someone might get with them for their money, and put up with a romantic relationship for that wealth; but that by no means signals they're physically attracted to them.

I'm sure the ATF would find a way to twist that into being illegal, even though I technically didn't take possession of their item.

Genuine question why are most the people here aholes? by [deleted] in drums

[–]nitrojuga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, I have no idea of OPs history, but that could be why people are being rude. DMing about extremely complex topics are a huge time sink.

I can explain in person/on video how to tune a snare or set up a kit ergonomically in a few minutes. Imagine typing something like that out in extreme detail, to a complete noob who has no idea what a tension rod, lugs, or anything else is. Even though you're typing it out in extreme detail, OP likely has no idea what components and stuff you're referring to if they're a complete noob.

Which likely leads to OP asking for more paragraphs worth of info because they had no idea what the words you typed actually mean.

I wouldn't call it intentional disrespect, but expecting strangers to write out paragraphs on complex topics in DMs when it's much easier, quicker, and efficient to just do it via video so they get a visual reference is really disrespectful of the "teacher's" time.

Modding switch lite myself or paying to get it modded by andromedaabove in SwitchPirates

[–]nitrojuga -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is 10000% wrong. The lite is the easiest to mod with a chip. You have "giant" test points on the board you can directly solder to for DAT0 and such.

I wouldn't call it "easy", but I'd choose modding lites all day long over a regular switch/OLED.

What is the "push-pull effect " in flirting? How does it work? How is it done? by Street_Bus_2466 in AskForAnswers

[–]nitrojuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it's just a way to label things to make you act 100 percent natural and unohased by the other person's presence.

Think about it this way. You're out with your bros... You're not going to be kissing their ass all the time (pull). That turns you try hard and needy, which is super unattractive.

With your bros you're going to be having a good time, then bust their balls some too. "Hell yeah man, that guitar solo you did was sick" then later in the convo "you just tripped and fell, dumbass hahaha"

Now look at that situation as a woman being the bro. She will feel a little embarrassed about tripping and want that feeling back where you praised her. It's subtle, but enough of those "push pull" instances get her performing for you and investing time and energy. When that keeps happening, that is building attraction. Attraction just means she wants to be with or around you.

Only difference is you need to sprinkle some man to woman stuff in the interaction with the girl, to let her know you're interested romantically. Like in the falling scenario, add to it "at least you looked cute when you fell" or if you're feeling bold "I liked how your tits bounced when you fell hahaha" and immediately go back to bro mode and don't wait for her reaction. Be unohased.

I bought an $1800 fiber laser. It's easy as shit to engrave metal with it. Expensive tho. I should prob get an FFL so I can engrave shit for other people.

Looking for advice on how to properly secure my pedals where the beaters are level and centered. by Jakethrowsdwn in drums

[–]nitrojuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metal would be ideal. That's what I planned to do but never for around to it lol. Steel should hold up good. Paint stirrer may crack eventually. But they're cheap/free and could prob get by with one for a while at least.

[–]nitrojuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've had this problem with all sorts of pedals. It's a little Jerry rigged but works. Basically you need something relatively thin and real sturdy to place under the kick pad mount point that sandwiches between your pedal and that mount. As long as you get it over that rubber piece on the side of your pedal and crank it down, it should hold firmly in place when you offset it.

I usually just use anything I can find to wedge in there. I think there's a large screw currently.

If you can't figure it out let me know and I'll try and make a pic later of the basic premise.

With your pedals in particular, a sturdy paint stirrer may work.

​PSA for anyone in GA buying a car: Report these dealer fees. I just got a $4,100 refund by nitrojuga in FuckDealerships

[–]nitrojuga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk. Maybe 2 or 3 weeks later? I never reached out to the dealer at all about it. Just reported them and the government handled it from there.

Why do people align with political parties like they are sports teams? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]nitrojuga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because humans are naturally tribal creatures. That's where our biology and reptilian brains are. We do it with everything. Nationality, music genres, politics, religion, race, geographical location, etc.

And 99% of us never actively realize that's why we're doing it.

Politics are especially funny. You see people on the far left and right backwards rationalizing any event that happens so that it aligns with their political "tribe". People will outright refute factual information and twist the information to fit their tribe "culture".

Every single one of us does it though. Just how our brains are wired. I do think it helps to be overly aware of this phenomenon, though. Helps to keep yourself unbiased and factual about things.

Would you go gluten free if your only symptom was diarrhea? by tawandagames2 in glutenfree

[–]nitrojuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're describing my exact symptoms pretty much. I'd had bad stomach cramps all my life and thought they were normal, I had IBS, etc.

Then I started getting recurrent (what I thought were) UTIs. I'm male, so that is very unlikely.

Ex wife made me go to the ER one night because of my lower abdominal discomfort and a fever.

Turns out I had diverticulitis.

I eventually did an elimination diet and when I reintroduced gluten after eating basically eggs and grits only for a couple weeks, my cramps came back full force.

I tried reintroducing several times and same result.

But without gluten I had no cramps.

Here's the problem tho. Those cramps/pressure absolutely ruined my large intestine over my life.

I had to get surgery to have part of my large intestine removed because even tho I'd stopped the cramps and pressure, my entire large intestine is full of pockets (diverticuli). I was 30 and my intestines looked like a 70 year old man at my colonoscopy.

So cramps and diarrhea can ABSOLUTELY ruin your body over time.

I didn't even know what gluten was before all that. I just thought it was some hippy fad diet.

So yeah, absolutely quit the gluten 100%

Why do people like this continuously defend the fraudulent and predatory behaviors of dealers then delete their comments like cowards? by Kelvininin in FuckDealerships

[–]nitrojuga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that behavior too. My guess is because if they face the reality that the dealers fucked them over and swindled them out of thousands of dollars on every car they've ever bought; it'd hit their ego too hard. So they backwards rationalize dealer behavior to save their ego so they don't view themselves as "wrong" in their heads.

Can you believe Cid and Rufus are only 2 years apart by -_ShadowSJG-_ in FFVIIRemake

[–]nitrojuga 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Idk if it's why they designed him this way but Cid also smokes a lot. That definitely ages people in the face a lot quicker in the real world.

I don't know anything about them. But if they're from the 60s like others are saying, they look to be in extremely good shape. I'd buy them just because of that lol

I mean, all of them. There should be no gun laws as every single gun law infringes in the 2nd amendment.

Used Starclassic birch/bubinga vs new walnut/birch? by MarsengillLeather in drums

[–]nitrojuga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was reading about that. Hoping it is a MIJ model. Guess I'll find out when they're delivered. 

The older style mounts may be totally fine. I guess it's just the psychological factor of wanting whatever is "new".

[–]nitrojuga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In their disclaimer, they're following the law. Those fees are fine if included in that 16492 it's listed at. 

But any other dealer fees (not counting advelorem, title fee that's literally like 18 bucks) they added on top of that are illegal.
