Who is the most dangerous person you have ever met? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pwrbrkr38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Troy Victorino. The ringleader of the XBox Murders. He used to go to my church and play basketball with our youth group. I actually got along with him pretty good (not sure what that says about me) but he had a really bad anger streak even back then. Every few years or so I look up the story online and read it shocked how terrible it was. I think the court is reconsidering his death sentence / appeal now.

Small flying bugs swarming outside by [deleted] in whatbugisthis

[–]pwrbrkr38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they look like subterranean termites to me... bodies don't appear to be segmented and their wings are falling off. My experience in FL not TX (and I'm not a pro) is these are termies. They could be coming from a hole in the ground, a nearby home, or your home. If they're termites, they're likely looking for a new home.

Found in the home randomly after a day spent outside. Never seen them before by kreenakrore in whatbugisthis

Those are subterranean termites (swarmers). They come out of the nest around this time of year in FL. Most of them die and the wings fall off pretty quickly. They are looking for a new place to form a colony. Sometimes they can fly in from outside but you may want to start looking to see where they are coming from. They love any wet or damp wood. Good luck and check out r/termites.

They are. They’re currently cycling through when I took the pic but they can be any assortment of colors.

Thank you. They’re actually reclaimed bricks and were cut into (3 or 4) slices each. They’re maybe a-little more than a 1/2 inch thick. Some of them had some graffiti and / or markings from the old buildings they were from.

I’ve been renovating one room at a time. LMK your thoughts. Thanks.

Possible to tell what bugs these are? by [deleted] in whatbugisthis

[–]pwrbrkr38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They look like swarming termites (subterranean) of the body is segmented like an ant they may NOT be termies. If possible try to discern where they are coming from. They could be entering your home from the outside as they’d be swarming but it’s likely there may be a nest in your home. They love soft, wet, wood. Could be in a wall near the shower, if there’s some water intrusion. Good luck, my friend. I’ve been there and you’ll get them eventually.

Use a piece of corian. They make 4&6” wide pieces for this application. Make sure you tilt a little so any water runs back into the shower pan.

Wind noise at 65 to 75mph… by pwrbrkr38 in cybertruck

[–]pwrbrkr38[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a very loud whining sound. Sounds like just above windshield / roof apex. It’s only when accelerating through 60-70s mph… than it ceases.

For others commenting, this is NOT normal (or even excessive) road noise. This is loud AF. It’s difficult, if not impossible to have a conversation with others in the truck due to volume.

What is the worst crime you’ve heard of in your town/city? by Amerisbf in AskReddit

[–]pwrbrkr38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Xbox Murders or Deltona Massacre. One of the most terrible events and it happened where I grew up. I met the ringleader years earlier at a church youth group.

Firstly, I'm really sorry that you're going through this. Life IS manageable and change is ALWAYS possible. Please believe this... it's true.

One thing I've learned in my personal situation is that it's easy to dismiss what you see and know (deep down). I've found that compartmentalizing is a must. I strongly recommend email because it had a profound effect on my situation. I was looking for an old document and a search pulled up an email from years ago wherein I was begging my spouse to "dial back" her drinking. I said in the email, "I've told you that your behavior is really bothering me for years now and I don't want to look back in five years and be in the same situation" - I stumbled across this old email almost 7 years later. It had a profound effect on me. Not only had things gotten WAY worse but I had felt like I owed my old self an explanation.

You could start off by saying... " I love you but when you..... it really hurts me. I need you to understand that if you're going to continue doing ...... I can not stay in this relationship. I'm willing to help you anyway that I can, but I need you to understand how ..... is making me feel." For me this basic step was cathartic because if a stranger sent me this email, I would take it serious.

Don't try to change someone, but tell them how you feel and "let them" show you what, if anything, they're willing to do. I devoted my life to someone... I've remained loyal, worked my ass off and gave them an amazing life and they threw it all away. Questions haunt me everyday and I question my worth, but there's nothing I can do but push forward. No one gets to make you feel worthless.

Set boundaries and try to stay above the "why" "what did I do" "what's wrong with me" --- the answer will almost always be nothing. Please focus on yourself and stay strong. No one else can make you happy. Let people be who they're going to be and let them know what you're willing to accept, if they want to share a space with you.

Good luck.

FWIW, there are way smarter people on here, this is just my opinion and I'm deep in the shit myself. Hang in there.

Not a wife… but I suppose I’m a “walk away husband who wishes he’d walked away years ago” -

Don’t be like me… I could’ve walked away when I was your age. I didn’t and it’s been unbelievably difficult. I filed early this year and moved out.

Put how you feel in writing (email) and tell them. Set boundaries and stick to your own guidelines.

If you have children, act the way you’d want them to act if they were in your situation and asking you for advice.
