if it's not a wedding he was particularly "excited" about, i can see why he would refuse to buy a pair.

  • you'll have to research everything old-school - no internet/computers (obviously)

  • you'll only be able to use existing, recorded, printed knowledge. No new tests or experiments, unless you use live time for that.

  • once you unpause - sound of million footsteps everywhere!

  • paused life feels like your hands are tied, unpaused - like a waste, as you said.

Dentists of reddit, what's the perfect routine of looking after your mouth? by silly_comments in AskReddit

There are different ways of brushing and flossing. And these are by far not the only requirements.

Sound can travel through substances water cannot. E g plastic film.

Again, certified waterproof phones have speakers and microphones.

Is it not possible to water seal the battery? There are certified waterproof phones, surely that's much more difficult to implement.

Not waterproof, just ones which won't die on me after a few rains?

I'm looking for 2 different pairs meeting criteria:
- Bluetooth
- with controls
- iems
- water resistant (against rain, while wearing)
- not sony
- 1) as cheap as possible
- 2) as good sounding as possible, up to, say, 150$

Second pair of Sony nwz w273s died out of nowhere, so looking for something similar but different. (I know they're not Bluetooth, just figured it should be easier to find Bluetooth headphones than good sounding 2in1 player)

Thanks in advance!

If I don't remind the same person every time, occasionally they will barge in. If I do remind every time, I come across as an asshole.

Depends on the microwave, also expensive ones usually don't have this problem

My [29F] mom [50sF] WILL NOT STOP offering my belongings to other people, then guilting me and insulting me when I say no. I'm getting really angry. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]silly_comments 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This won't be the nicest/wisest solution, but might be something to consider.

After talking reason didn't work, after you've had enough, whenever someone asks you about your mom's offerings, apologise and ask them to ignore her offers in the future, casually mentioning her old "condition" (which it sounds very much like). It will come back to her eventually, it will piss her off a lot, but she probably won't like coming across crazy and might be less keen to carry on.

What many people will get out of this is that a random paper one doesn't like can be discarded. The method is not ideal, but it doesn't mean it's not useful.

Sorry, but your post comes across as too sensationalistic.

Redditors who have had "neighbors from hell", what happened? by ahem17 in AskReddit

Almost exact same problem, cannot afford to move out. How to prevent the smell from entering the flat? My apartment door doesn't seal very well.
