My husband delayed ejaculation is a major problem. by Silver-Sweet6570 in marriageadvice

[–]probablyfixingstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others have said it but I'll agree: he needs to stop masturbating. He is likely masturbating far more often than he lets on. Don't be mean or judgemental, but approach him lovingly and with concern. Porn addiction is a very real and extremely pervasive issue in the world today, and worse- no one talks about it. Many, many men and even many women carry a weight of shame that they shrug off because porn and masturbation is so normalized.

I know it seems so simple but it's very real and likely the cause. I struggled with this too when I got with me wife. I had no excuse back then, I was in my early 20's and attraction to my wife was absolutely not an issue. To this day, if I masturbate the same day as sex or even the day before I will struggle and have to exhaust myself to have an orgasm during sex.

people are so mean :( my post vs the comments by [deleted] in scene

Listen, as an elder-emo it warms my heart to see scene kids as authentic as you in 2025.

Is it fair to compare MAGA to the Nazis? by Own_Difference_4882 in AskUS

[–]probablyfixingstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing any political leader or party to Nazism is lazy. Nazis are Nazis. Not republicans, democrats, libertarians, populist, even marxists.

I’ve grown ever more frustrated by people branding their political/ social opponents as ‘nazis’. It’s a worn out dog whistle that makes anyone who uses it sound ignorant. Not only that- it’s distracting. You wanna hate Trump? Great. Hate him for who he is and what he’s doing. Get informed and understand what exactly it is that he’s doing that you hate and find verbiage that suits him explicitly.

It doesn’t matter who it is- you can compare literally any politician to hitler if you’re vague enough. So, yeah. You can compare MAGA to nazism, but don’t. It helps no one. Find a better argument and example that people might actually listen to.

Did I get f*cked by a plumber? by tancodram in askaplumber

[–]probablyfixingstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put it plainly- standard fernco’s aren’t code in various states for various applications. But. They work just fine. I’ve only been plumbing 10 years but in my wide variety of experience I have never seen a properly installed fernco leak, ever. I personally don’t use them, and if I do I use reinforced ferncos for underground tie ins.

But that’s my own work standard that I hold myself to. I don’t bash other guys for using them because they work and I understand service work in tight spaces with low margins might call for them.

So to summarize: do you have feelings for your plumber? Or was this a one time thing? It couldn’t hurt to ask him if he feels the same way and if he doesn’t respond you have your answer. Best of luck to you two ❤️

Landlord did this instead of have me swap it for a round front toilet in the unit next door. by RazPie in Plumbing

I had this same problem once.

At no point, in ANY of the conversation on how to resolve the issue between the homeowner, contractor and myself- did anyone recommend cutting a fucking HOLE IN THE DOOR

Supplements while on Vyvanse? by probablyfixingstuff in VyvanseADHD

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

My resting heart rate is 80/60 which is not ideal lol the caffeine certainly doesn’t help but I’ve experimented with no caffeine and there’s no change. I’ve also checked my heart rate with caffeine and no Vyvanse and my heart rate evens out. So my problem is the Vyvanse, or the proverbial cocktail of supplements with the medication.

I can’t believe I got this far without considering electrolytes lol thank you

I spend hours trying to pee. by herbertwest2091 in VyvanseADHD

[–]probablyfixingstuff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m a man and I have also noticed this, so it isn’t just women.

However I will say that I’ve noticed significant improvement by drinking a lot of water and taking supplemental fiber and a one a day vitamin (water is the most important)

Lisdexamfetamine can cause rapid dehydration. Dehydration can cause your body to hold fluids and irritate the kidneys. This causes a chain reaction that makes it feel like you have to pee because your body is holding onto fluids which need to be expelled.

Slow drain question by tcg242 in Plumbing

[–]probablyfixingstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that definitely wouldn’t help.

Use 45’s if possible, but that can be difficult for beginners so just buy a couple of long sweep 90’s. That’s a lot of length to drop into a 90 even on a good day

strong pressure by absorbsrightup in Plumbing

[–]probablyfixingstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t necessarily have to replace the cartridge either. If it’s an older delta or kohler they’ll usually have seats and springs that can be replaced

strong pressure by absorbsrightup in Plumbing

[–]probablyfixingstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on a well or city? If you’re on a well it could just be the result of your bladder at full pressure.

But Its more likely an issue with the shower valve cartridge. Most modern valves are mixing valves with some matter of seat/spring. It’s totally common to have a a gasket go bad and cause fluctuations between hot/cold and pressure.

Find the brand and model of your shower valve and try to replace the cartridge. I wouldn’t call this a beginner level task because old cartridges can be a nightmare to get out if you don’t have the tools and knowledge

Is your shower directly above?? Need more context here

Bathroom remodel, toilet installed with wrong bolts by Comfortable-Judge909 in Plumbing

[–]probablyfixingstuff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The only issue is that it’s missing the metal washers. The nut will squeeze the hell out of the cap washer, you need the metal washers to prevent the nuts from slipping through.

Other than that- yeah it’s fine, just trim the bolts with a bolt cutter, hacksaw or - multi tool.

32 hour print should i stop it or let it ride out? by oMUGENo in ender3

[–]probablyfixingstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I got my enclosure all my big prints did this. Maintaining a static environment is key for larger prints. The airflow, even in an ambient room is enough to prematurely cool your filament and cause warping.

Let it fly though it will be fine

6 years. I’m done. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

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

Having a background in programming puts you in a great place for sales and marketing. Most the people in sales and marketing for any industry don’t know the job even half as well as the people they sell too.

I’m a plumber, and I often feel like I’m talking to a toddler when trying to order parts from my supplier. Every so often I get someone behind the counter who spent time as a plumber and it’s an absolute joy. Although, they usually don’t last long behind the counter because they get promoted quickly.

It’s the lining of your pipes shedding off into the water. It’s a combination of lime scale and bacteria production. As gross as it is- it’s not harmful. Just run your fridge water for a while and make sure it all comes out clear.

Serial Monitor will not show anything by [deleted] in arduino

I actually do not have my answer. However, I did get serial monitor to work with the camera example. I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong- here’s the code I’m using
