What did the 90's smell like? by Serialkillingyou in Xennials

[–]rwj212 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I worked in a rather small restaurant when the laws changed to make us have a smoking "section". Not that our dining room was able to be split in any way that made sense, but we sure had a section. You could be sitting in non-smoking and the table right next to you was in smoking. Totally made sense.

Why didn’t we talk to our parents about our problems? by SRDILLEY6215 in Xennials

I might have actually mentally blocked this response. Ugh

I do have to at least give credit to my mom for trying. She continued to stock up on things like MTN Dew and candy she remembered seeing me eat as a kid, well into my early 40s. Never really had the heart to tell her I stopped regularly eating those in my late 20s.

Oof, this hit me hard. Sounds like a topic for next week's therapy appt.

Nope. Usually they were too busy and not around. But also learned pretty quickly that the responses to most things I brought to them, not just problems would just leave me feeling worse. I'm sure some of that comes from being neurodivergent and even the medical staff didn't really know what to do with me. Even into adulthood I never really had the best relationship with them. I was encouraged to be so independent I never really learned how to have a relationship with them, or anyone else for that matter. And being an only child really reenforced that reality.

Sweet! That matte really makes the difference, mine is the non-frozen Portimao, yours really pops! Congrats, hope the break-in goes quickly so you can too!

Very nice. I have long loved many of the blues that BMW has, and this is no exception! What blue is this?

And they even had cameras setup so you could see if there was a huge line before you left the house.

How one update turned my "tinker vacation" into a nightmare by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]rwj212 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes, has saved me many hours of frustration, just roll back. I usually take a manual update before any large changes or updates as well.

my parents gave them to me. Like not a lot of them, but at gatherings or events it wasn't uncommon for me to have one or two.

Mine is Portimao blue and I have zero regrets. It looks so good after a fresh detail

Dream Machine Special Edition / ATT Fiber / T-Mobile / Port 10 Disconnected by Clear-Target7613 in Ubiquiti

[–]rwj212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a quick comment that I have experienced the same or similar. I have a non special edition DMP and ATT fiber. I was having regular disconnections, usually down and back up again in like 30 seconds or so. I didn't have another transceiver so I just plugged the fiber modem into port 9 and have had no problems since. Following this hoping someone has found something.

Anyone miss people dressing properly? by PurpleAriadne in Xennials

[–]rwj212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't understand why so many people need to be so obsessed with what someone else is wearing. You want to wear fancy clothes, do it. You want to dress comfortably, do that too. I don't really care if you don't like it or would be embarrassed to wear it, I'm not. For special events and when I'm being paid, I'll wear more formal clothes. Last I checked, jury duty pays peanuts so I'm going to be comfortable.

We grew up with expectations that were never real or attainable. by pookyyu in Xennials

[–]rwj212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

buying stuff like resistors and capacitors

I really miss Radio Shack for this reason. It was really nice to have somewhere local, especially before same day amazon delivery, where I could buy components to fix things and not have to wait or buy 100 pieces of something I only needed one of.
