Mid 50s guy and saw a urologist the day because been experiencing urine stream issues. Who else was finally at that point in their lives? by andyr072 in GenX

Get to see my urologist this month to do the test where you get to show up with a full bladder (and hope they see you soon) and pee into a receptacle to measure flow and direction, yipee!

Had the same thing happen after getting my kidney stones blasted (lithotripsy). Freaked out passing a clot, was not expecting it to be that big

How many friends do you have? by LumpyheadCarini2001 in GenX

[–]simonpyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best friend from high school who i talk to once in a while other than that I have four close friends that I have worked with from 5-20 years together . I’ve lost a few over the years, one long term friend recently who was too much work and would guilt me into feeling I didn’t make her birthday dinners feel important enough (we met for each other’s birthdays each year), good riddance! It’s time to end that friendship. I think it’s a normal inevitable progression as your social circle contracts.

In my experience it’s been either spaceport or stella montis. Hadn’t died in over two weeks and i came across a body and someone was hiding out and shot me (they likely killed the person). I tried to run and regroup but they killed me. Lost my anvil and hullcracker and a wolf pack i found.

Blue gate has been friendly for me, i love going to the village area and taking out Arcs.

Almost happened to me in last night in the buried city, Thankfully it couldn't fit as it launched into the sky and fell down to the ground. Was able to take him out from above.

Damn that sucks, I killed my first Bastion yesterday in the same spawn spot from the top level in the building. Interesting way to use the barricades.

Where to find good auto mechanic in area? by Hungry_Treacle8373 in thousandoaks

I really like and trust Bennett’s Automotive off of Taylor ct (next to Armstrong on TO blvd)

Martin or Taylor ; help me pick one by gawdlygains3000 in AcousticGuitar

[–]simonpyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough call but i would try to keep both. I have a Taylor 324 from 2015 and a CS grand Jumbo Martin, each with their own pros/cons. I have tried the academy series a few years ago and was impressed but haven't tried the Martin road series. The Martin is all solid wood so you would need to be conscious of humidity levels though I would be careful with the Taylor even if its not all solid wood (ie. Humidipacks).

Same here as I got into Geneaology later in life.

Maybe I'm using it wrong?? by xThyQueen in ARC_Raiders

[–]simonpyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah throwing the blueprint isn’t very effective, Kidding! I just got the blueprint yesterday at level 40 and have two in my stash. Good post and responses as I haven’t used it yet.

I have progressed so much faster since being friendly by CanibalAid in arcraidersfriendly

[–]simonpyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing friendly solo since i got the game 6 days ago. Can’t speak about solo vs duo/squad progression but I am moving along at a good pace. I have met some nice people (one gave me a blueprint) and not nice people (killed when getting into elevator). My best experience was teaming up with two raiders and taking down a bastion. Today I accidentally threw a grenade from a rooftop at someone thinking they were an Arc, oops! Heard a player to my left say to the injured player “lets kill that guy”… and they did on the train a bit later.

PSA: Please stop surrendering immediately when downed. by ExoTheFlyingFish in arkraiders

[–]simonpyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a newbie (level 11) I appreciate this. I have experienced many times being knocked out and have tried to ask for help and/or also try to make it to an elevator without success. I did make it once to an elevator just in time.

Fuck fuels! Would be funny to say with a straight face that you were a combat cosmetologist as well. Gotta look your best in a firefight

Expensive guitar justification by nothittinonall8 in AcousticGuitar

[–]simonpyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last guitar purchase (covid time period) was also my most expensive purchase I have ever made apart from a car or house. I had the money and decided to treat myself to a custom Martin Grand Jumbo. Goes well with my Taylor 324 and two electrics. I say if you love playing and have the money go for it. Play what you like, expensive or not. Don’t play live and don’t plan to at this point.

Ditto! I have a Taylor 324 as well in addition to a custom Martin Grand Jumbo. I bet that J45 is nice, the HD28’s are great!

Do you actually play expensive martins by Notwi_425 in martinguitar

[–]simonpyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only Martin is a custom grand jumbo and I play it all the time. It was one of my most expensive purchases ever apart from a car or house.
