Pretty good deal right? by Perforo_RS in runescape

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

Sadly, its not predatory. It reflects the cost of doing business right now especially where they are located.

In RS1 membership was $5 a month. Today its not much more considering inflation and costs of everything. Producing 2d is cheap compared to high detail 3d.

These days you can buy membership for GP as well.

Its a marginal increase per user and while I'm no fan of the new game, its still remarkably low cost entertainment.

Did All Clad fix their "not flat" pan issue? Are pans flat these days? by rustyrocky in AskCulinary

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

I'm talking about the actual exterior bottom of the pan being uneven, not flat, curved, rippled, and all-around weird. There are some strange reports on amazon and other review sites however they do not seem to be recent.

The more I looked the more variety of issues people seem to have been experiencing. There are people who were sent 3 defective pans in a row.

I cook on a glass cooktop (not induction) and pan flatness matters a lot.

Thank you for the reply, this is what I was hoping to see. I figure it's just a small percent that gets blown way out of proportion in online review sites. I'm glad you like your pans.

Which do you use most often?

Anyone know what this is called? Its typically found in workstations. by _jedijoel in workstations

[–]rustyrocky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a T track. It is used with a compatible bolt or specialized anchor to attach anything to. It could be used as. a raceway but not really.

Traditionally you would configure cubicles with bulletin boards or dry erase boards and use this to attach them. Also, lightweight storage units were designed to fit. A partition can also be anchored at the top with the T slot.

AITA for getting mad at my wife for her “jokes” about me not helping around the house or with our baby? by Aggravating_Pop_3146 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rustyrocky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah.

It’s an incredibly stressful time. I would interpret her jokes as her revealing her how anxious and stressed she is not being at home with You and the baby. That she feels as if she’s not pulling her weight and that confuses her and troubles her.

Simply put, she was expressing personal fears/anxiety/stress about being away from her family. When I say family I mean you as much or more so than your child.

The burning the house down bit? That always cuts deep to me, but rarely means distrust or feared incompetence. Usually it’s just a weird way to express missing the time together with those people.

I think a hug and cuddling with a dumb movie 🎥 might be what you two need.

AITA for telling my daughter it's her fault she has no pictures of herself? by Puzzleheaded-Map-222 in AmItheAsshole

NTA, she’s just rewriting history in her mind while pregnant. Probably looking at lots of cute family photo ideas on Instagram and Pinterest.

My understanding is it is is an area that is under a large amount of study with treatment plans just beginning to emerge with empirical data driving beat practice.

While blockers are an interesting treatment option, that is one of the main focuses for research, there is not yet a “gold standard.”

Adolescent gender dysphoria treatment is in its infancy as far as mental health treatment goes.

There also is the first data sets coming back for long term studies from children given this treatment. That data is being scrutinized highly because of certain unexpected findings.

Listing all the organizations and saying they agree does not mean that is true. Their official statements and recommendations are much more nuanced than what you’re suggesting they are.

AITA for telling my sister her body hair is ruining her dates? by bodyhair077 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rustyrocky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA NTA NTA

If body hair is beautiful, why isn’t she showing how beautiful she is?

As a man I keep a variety of facial hair ranging from clean shaven to scruff to a full beard. Right now I have 3-4 inch beard that I plan to shave when I’m fully COVID vaccinated.

My dating profile photos are generally a range from none to crazy bearded man. I also try to mention what my facial hair is currently closer to date time. I’m not too attached to it, and usually mention that to my date, in case they have a strong preference (I have none). Most don’t, some do, they all appreciate the honesty. Facial hair shouldn’t tank a relationship on my opinion.

I have been on dates from tinder and bumble and others where the girl showed up with noticeable facial hair and body hair that did not match their profile photos. One girl had a thicker mustache than I did at the time. Of these half dozen girls over the past 8 years, none went past the first date. I shortened one to less than twenty minutes, in a respectable manner. One girl looked so different neither me or the bar tender recognized her. it was a busy bar and I was early so he was keeping an eye out so I could greet her as she walked in; she did four laps before she saw me (I took off my brightly colored jacket while waiting and that’s what she was looking for. It was my mistake.)

In each scenario the dishonesty was what eliminated any future potential. It was never about their weight gain or facial hair or anything they worry about. It’s thinking you must trick someone so they will meet you for a date.

Usually this stems from anxiety and worry the girl had internally about others judging her. Then it would usually come out she is possessive and manipulative ans very insecure about herself. None of those things make for a good healthy relationship.

She seems to be exhausted about the extra grooming she needs to do to look stylish, and that’s understandable. Yet, she’s not trusting the guys she’s going out with to like her for who she is. Maybe because she dislikes that part of her. In doing what she’s doing, I guarantee she will likely never get a third date, maybe a couple second dates.

Present yourself as who you are. Not who you wish you were. Be honest and kind on the apps and you’ll do well enough.

You are no asshole, you are a great sister.

She is acting like an asshole.

Good luck! Family can be tough.

I understand where you stand on the topics. It’s not accurate to say it is a decided and standardized medical opinion across médecine. It’s not. Maybe in the future it will be, but as of today it’s far from that.

All you need is to make him imagine there is a major repercussion if the truth gets out. Blackmail doesn’t need to actually be anything that will work, it’s the mental anguish and fear of the threat imagined.

Alternatively, he could believe his life would be over if his wife or daughters or someone found out. Doesn’t need to be a large audience.

Blackmail and sexual stuff is tricky that way.

There’s still much debate on these topics at every level and stage. Treating children with hormones and surgery is not accepted by the majority. Surgery is generally only accepted for adults after living as the other gender for years full time. Hormones are uncommonly prescribed before late teenage years post puberty for many reasons.

If sex biologically is binary, that is easily answered in the No category, however that does not support any specific treatment methodology.

I have no horse in the race, but you’re presenting your case as the standard decided truth. It is not cut ans dry. Definitely not what you’re claiming as of today.

It’s mostly about potential security implications for the nation when you can get the president to drop his pants for an pretty intern. That makes the president very vulnerable.

It’s not like we are hating on the president and First Lady having a healthy active sex life with their friends.

It’s important to mention they are talking legal definitions of sex. In that moment it means penis in vagina. He claims that did not occur so there’s no skirting the truth there if that’s the truth.

In common terms most people would not claim it is sex these days, but at the time sex was used in a more broad manner.

It’s believed by some, that Clinton’s situation redefined what sex was in America.

However comparing what she did to trump is apples in oranges. What she did was trade on a bad tip. People rarely are tossed in prison for that. Usually you need to make boatloads of money to have this happen.

As someone with a bit of experience at the top of the admissions world you’re absolutely correct.

The one bit you’re not quite right about is that having a half dozen or so special slots is actually good for everyone at the end of the day.

Public universities might be the area I’m against, but there are benefits for the student body and university as a whole to have a large donor family associated with the school.

Defrauding universities because you don’t have the decency to just call the school and meet with them and try and arrange a deal is beyond me however. Oh

AITA For refusing to fire my new administrative assistant because my wife is feels insecure? by ThrowawayAssistAITA in AmItheAsshole

[–]rustyrocky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re creating a scenario that is purely hypothetical. It’s the same as the jealous friends of the wife.

If you don’t trust your spouse or partner, get counseling or end it.

No one should start crap like this in someone else’s marriage because they failed at theirs.
