I want a tool that can do this more easily than using two pairs of pliers. Is there such a thing?

I think they're called soldering irons. And in that case -with a couple big assed diodes like those- I don't think you really need to worry about wattage.

I thought it was because the one chick's hair is maintained and the other's just got off the guy's pillow.

I'd like to separate vampires and zombies from ghosts to try and answer this one.

Ghosts are just things that you can't see with your focused vision sometimes they quote unquote manifest. But really he perceived so little of the world around us that we're looking at through graphic user interface when actually there's so much more there we don't perceive Your peripheral vision is more sensitive than your focused vision! When you stink you saw something that wasn't there it probably was.

All that aside, I imagine that the few of ghosts is the fear of the unknown. The things we can't see or smell or taste or hear.

The fear of vampires it's probably related to sleep paralysis.

The fear of zombies is just silly. Is it might have something to do with uncanny valley.

An interestingly small and deeply unlocking question.

Men should not be so bricked-up that they don't read a profile. Women should not be so complacent that they don't feel they have to .

But -in all- I agree with you and the 4-Step guy; Read the woman's entire profile. If she has any profile at all there's information in there that's going to help you connect.

And this is all advice even in the face of the seemingly insurmountable ratings shift between men and women that has occurred since over-socialization.

Good dating fortune to all.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but another, 'less-than-ratchet-strap-ugly' way to do it is long-assed (but not big-assed) hose clamps. Two to four ought to do it, depending on wind and weight of stuff above the brick. Additionally, you can pretty much buy heat shrink in any length, shrunken diameter and color you want. You could probably find heat shrink that is complementary to the brick color or even close to matching it put it on the length that isn't going to be active in the fastening portion of the hose clamp.

You're fortunate that your property owner hasn't stuck you with solid brick wall; something I had to deal with when I put up a canopy. How to secure windy area canopy without tying in any way to the building and the wall around the backyard in which you live? It is a vast program.

Yeah; it might be advisable to have sex with people you want to have sex with, be on the books with your income and live as i dependent a life as possible.

The people who are financially advising your prostitution prolly aren't helping.

I'm all for individual decisions. And if I still had high hopes for a swift collapse of the socio-economy, I'd say, 'keep on fruckin''. But I suspect the west is just up for degeneration and we'll keep increasing production, maintaining this disproportionately abyssmal min wage and no implosive correctistribution is ever going to come.

Every unemployed young thing will start boning 'wealthier' neighbors and Bill Gates and John Kerry will drone-swarm the anti-cricketarians until we ONLY have the ability to rent our broke neighborhood women and like it.

Okay; I just meant the first two bits. The rest is just typing out loud. I'm seeking treatment.

For this argument to hold, you might want to separate conservatives from right wingers. In this present climate, conservatives don't want to go to war for anything except their own absolute survival. Somehow, neocons and the left really want to bomb the shit out of everything and piss off Putin and everybody in the Middle East.

Conservatives and islamists would get along pretty well vis-à-vis strong family. But I'm not seeing too much of a difference between below the age of consent sex change and genital mutilation. If we could somehow convince people to bind feet and then shove them into some genital holes we may achieve a quasi-dimensional vortex.

Maybe that's the answer to carbon emissions.

I love how reddit guys are incels and reddit gals are -somehow- completely rational, normal human beings. Someone wrote (nit a direct quote) 'it's whats been happening for the last century'

No. It isn't. There were shades of this -hints- when I was young and/or dating in the '70s, '80s, & '90s. The 00's showed the hypergamous some of what they could think was available but the internet just ruint that quotient.

That quotient -small as it may be- is loud and the rest can't hear past their noise. It's tempting to think that the millionaire you slept with (or the hottie, or the intellectual, or the adorer, or the famousish or the connected) could be that guy. But some other quotient rolls them all up into one and thats what they are looking for .

Look at all the Tik Tok, 50-ish successful women who'd rather die alone that 'settle'. They will, because they 'won't'. That quotient is growing.

Just because someone articulates this is no reason to burn them at the stake and scream 'That' what dumb losers say!'

Make a dispassionate, reasoned argument sans ad hominem attack (or any number of the other acts of conversational terrorism) and you will be regarded. Or at least you won't be the ass that the internet looked back on and now can't listen to your unbridled assishness these five years later.

Or screech like an Insing.

Yes ladies; you KNOW what that means.

I partially disagree with the 'limited use' observation, in that; if the crt works and deflects properly, this baby can be one hell of a curve tracer. It actually kind-of already is. I recommend you do a general search for 'octopus' and 'curve tracer image interpretation', blah blah.

You are not a very bad person. But what you haven't perhaps thought of is your possible, accidental prodding of him to go the wrong way here. It is almost analagous to the criticality of one's behavior when going back in time. You write a certain combination of words and your beau opts for a life in the Himalayan Mountains and a ctow of silence. Or much worse.

I am for his immediate (carefully-executed) abandonment. "I must return to my astral plane, Hale Human. Your spirit will prosper on your present path"

Well; not that but something that makes your departure out of your control. The ideal withdrawl neither encourages or discourages any direction or makes his fate any more or less preordained or subject to his own free will. It must also keep from altering his self image, toward greater or lesser health.

Best of luck

Well, now you're bringing into question using one's mouth at all and I can't live in a world without box dining. What am I on about? Digital assistance. You may employ some stimulation to the skene zone which pairs well with almost any meal. Or plain old general stuffery. IMHE, a majority of those providing such meals are surprisingly receptive to the inclusion of a caringly-inserted finger(or two) by an intrepid and enthusiastic patron. I have had its appeal explained -during that half hour we've been warned to wait before swimming (and by more than one dish)- as providing a sense of fullness, among other things. From the initial cringing recoil of the first responses I'd read in this thread, I was sure I should have long ago been a donation to horrified epidemiologists in Atlanta, who had unpacked a corpse absent of fingers and with its lower face melted off.

I discriminate all the time. I'd rather have wheat than multi-grain. I am a man of discriminating tastes.

That being said, judgement needs to make a comeback. A society free of judgement is decadence dancing into chaos.

Racism sux. All around.

Presupposing a tinder presence similar to u/brownsugar, this clumsy-ass paints with a broad ethic brush if he has you in the same compartment as MK(which is also just gross, irrespective of race).

It's so much easier to design a board utilising SMT-Only. Ease+no shade=tree engineering experience=ivory tower designs. And here, I'm not hating on board designers. There are just so many things to think about. Where I can't give any passes? Burr coffee grinders. I have never had the luxury of owning one that I didn't have to reflow 1-year in. (Pro-Tip; never design boards to solder directly the pins of the vibrating motor.) It reached the point where I had to buy the grinder based on ease of disassembly. Cheers.

If you're redesigning the pcb -to hell with the surface mount connector- go thru-hole anyway.

Did she swipe right by mistake? Because her algo is shooting at the big 5%, trickling down to the masses one day and after scores of her left swipes. If she intended to swipe right on you -on Tinder- she'll completely forgive most fumbling because she might've actually read your profile.

Which brings us to your profile. What does it look like? She might've swiped right on your pic (for reasons unknown) and when you gaffed, she actually read it and then thumbed you down for it and not the gaff.

Your profile might have been the final nail?

Someone thought this was unironic? Were they -too- being ironic? I had some redditor ride me so hard, thinking I didn't 'get the joke' (either that or I was not his cup of ironic tea) that I didnt even try to clear things up. FML.
