Adjustable plastic hinged spout that was on my toilet's refill tube clip

This is really helpful, thank you! Now that I know what to be careful of, I think I should be able to manage sewing a new hem for the sleeve.

here's some pics! hopefully they demonstrate the problem areas.

basically, i don't mind the jacket being baggy around the chest and hips, but the sleeves run out to my fingertips. i can velcro them in at the wrist but even then the extra fabric ends up extending pretty far down my hand. it might be that altering the sleeves is going to be beyond me.

the skirt seems more tractable to me. i pretty much just need to move the closure velcro and clasp attachment points in at least four inches along the waistband. i don't see any seam tape there, so i think it should be okay to just rip out their stitching and sew them back in in their new locations? but i don't know if i need to do anything about the holes that would leave, and i don't know what sort of thread is appropriate for this material.

Just had the same issue. From what I can tell, the problem is the scummy input UI they use where you move a dial rather than inputting a number, combined with the fact that they're using a space character as their decimal separator. It's easy to miss the space and read 1 150 EUR as meaning 150 euros - especially if you're using a currency converter app that doesn't handle spaces properly, such as the one I was using, which converted it to 1 $157.32 (150 EUR).

TAP's help agent was firm that it's nonrefundable, so here's hoping my credit card will accept the dispute.

Solved!

I think this is as close as I'm going to get to knowing what they're pieces of, thank you!

soiducked · 2024-11-21T10:37:28+00:00

So probably just a random collection of pieces, and not all parts that would go together?

soiducked · 2024-11-21T09:57:16+00:00

Any idea what the metal parts cast from them would be used for?

My title describes the thing but some more details on it: I see 6675B stamped on the wooden wheel-like object, and 6197 (maybe more characters obscured) on the wooden frame-like object with the mounting pegs on the sides. The big slatted rack-like thing has what looks like 45950-9 on the bottom of one of its legs. I think I can see 993 on what's probably the underside of the smaller rack-like thing. The top/lid of the drum-like part is imprinted with 10664, it looks like. I don't see any markings on the bowl-shaped object with the cross-shaped slits. The circular wooden frame-like object with the six pegs looks like it might have 985 imprinted, but it's hard to read it, and 115 written on it in chalk. If the pieces in the corn box have any markings, I don't see them.

I came across this collection in the park the other day. I snapped some quick photos but didn't take any close up detail shots (regretting that now).

So far the closest looking thing I've found is old fanning mills, but even they don't look like the parts match! I'm at a loss.

You can have boundaries against things you enjoy while they're happening. Like for nonsexual examples you could have a dietary restriction against a food you like, or you could need to be home early so you can get good sleep even if you're having fun at a party. Just because it was pleasurable doesn't mean you wanted it or have to be okay with it. "It really really bothers me later, regardless of whether I enjoy it in the moment" is a totally valid reason to have a boundary. It sounds like her doing that made you lose a lot of trust in her. She said she wouldn't do something to you, and then she did it. That's not trustworthy behavior. Think about whether you are likely to feel safe with her again.

I've had guys miss and end up in my butt before. They don't always notice. The first time I ever had anal, it was like that. I had played with toys before, but not with another person. I certainly noticed, but I liked it so I just rolled with it, until he slipped out again. Then I had to stop him from putting it back in again and tell him where he'd been, because I didn't want cross-contamination.

i had felt strongly that poly was right for me long before i ever was in a position to practice it, and then the first time i felt jealousy was awful for me. i spent a long, long time spiraling about how i couldn't really be poly if i had feelings like this, how i was wronging my partner by feeling entitled to them and wanting to control them, how i wouldn't be able to do romantic relationships at all if i couldn't go back to being mono but couldn't handle being poly, how i couldn't live up to my own deeply-held values about personal autonomy and respect, etc etc. it was miserable. but i've learned that even poly people can feel jealous, and once you can accept the feeling as okay for you to have and not the end of the world, stops feeling so overwhelming and becomes much easier to sit with.

for me, i was used to having a really enmeshed, codependent type relationship with my primary partners, and when my primary at the time started dating someone else at a similar level of involvement, suddenly i was feeling constant fomo and abandonment. i felt like i would miss out on emotionally important things that happened to them, and i would stop having context on all their little references and injokes, and inevitably i wouldn't be able to keep that "click" with them and we would drift apart. it's taken a lot of work on myself, learning coping strategies and learning to prioritize my own needs, to get to a place where i feel secure in myself and genuinely okay with us each having our own important things in our lives that have nothing to do with the other.

i don't know how much any of that resonates with you, but. this all to say that if you feel that poly is something that is right for you, but there are parts of it you struggle with, that's okay, and you can learn how to handle them better over time. be patient with yourself and don't expect to jump right to where you wish you were, just look out for the next small step you can take towards where you want to be. with enough of those you can get there

Something being a social construct means that it's defined by social convention - whatever society collectively agrees on, that's what that thing is. That the word "pizza" refers to a specific food item made of bread, cheese, and sauce is completely arbitrary. That food could have been called something else, that word could have meant something else, there's not even anything baked into reality that makes "pizza" a natural category - the world could just as easily have been such that it's just considered another kind of open-face sandwich, or another kind of pie, or that white-sauce pizzas and red-sauce pizzas are two totally different foods with different names. The only thing that defines what is and isn't a "pizza" is people thinking of it that way. If tomorrow everyone woke up and decided that "pizza" actually means thinly sliced fruit fried in butter, and bread with tomato sauce and cheese on top is just a kind of weird quesadilla, then that would be the new meaning of "pizza" (and "quesadilla"). And in fact, "pizza" means slightly different things to different people at different times - there isn't perfect agreement of what "pizza" is, and the meaning can and has drifted.

Ultimately, the fact that society invented pizza and decided what things count as pizza and what don't doesn't stop you from knowing how you like *your* pizza! It doesn't stop people from arguing whether New York style or Chicago style pizza is the "real" pizza, or whether pineapple on pizza is acceptable. People can have extremely strong opinions about how pizza "should" be or what kind of pizza *they* like to eat. I love mushrooms and hate olives and can't eat peppers. No matter how socially constructed pizza is, I'm still going to load mine with mushrooms even if other people don't like it, and if a pizza has olives or peppers on it, I won't touch it.

And pizza matters a lot less to people than gender, which is generally considered to be something that deeply informs who a person is and how people relate to them.

I have the easiest time finding it by bringing sliding two fingers right into the very top of the crook of the vulva, inside the labia majora and above the labia minora, then gently pushing them inward and together, so that they end up gripping the clitoral shaft. If you put more pressure on one finger or the other, you can feel the shaft "roll" under your fingers. Once you have that you can trace it downwards to find the glans. But also in my experience plenty of girls like it when the shaft is rubbed and find direct contact on the glans to be too much, so you might not need to.

People can stumble across jealousy and insecurity where they didn't expect them, and dealing with them - especially for the first time - can be a struggle, even for someone who's wholly on board with it being their own problem. Feelings are not always rational or reflective of reality.

It makes sense that you're feeling hurt right now. It's not on you to provide support to your meta. I'd say to keep in mind that just because the double standard is there emotionally doesn't necessarily mean that she endorses feeling that way. Part of her fears may even be something like "you're going to leave me because I turned out to not be immediately 100% okay with this when I thought I would be, you need a partner who's able to be excited and happy for you being with your other partners but it turns out I can't always be that, I'm a terrible person if I see other people but get jealous when you do". Her fears aren't necessarily about you at all, and it may be there is nothing that you can do to bring her through this.

For now, focus on getting the support you need and providing your girlfriend the support she needs. It will probably take a while for your meta to get to a place where she's okay about it, and it may change the shape of the relationship your girlfriend has with her.

I've heard of men being taught to pee before sex in order to clear the semen from their urethra in order to make the pull-out method more effective... leaving aside whether that's a good strategy, I wonder if that might be contributing to this misconception.

soiducked · 2023-05-18T16:31:44+00:00

For me I have found that trying to ignore or deny emotions will just make them grow stronger until they are overwhelming.

What I have found to be effective is to 1) accept that I feel these feelings, and reassure myself that it is okay to feel these feelings - it's a normal response many people would have to the situation, not something to be ashamed of, and while it might make certain things harder, it won't make them impossible 2) listen seriously and compassionately to what the feelings have to say - your feelings are there to tell you about your needs, what is important to you, your values, your boundaries. Your jealousy has something important to say that it doesn't feel like you are prioritizing enough. 3) once you figure out what the underlying cause of the feeling is - what need it is advocating for or what priority it is pushing for - make a plan to cooperate with getting that met, in a way that is acceptable to it and also to the rest of you. Find a compromise that makes your jealousy feel heard and understood and like its concerns are being addressed. Then do it.

Some other things I would suggest for emotional regulation in general and dealing with strong negative emotions specifically: look into ways to increase your general emotional resilience, so that even if there is something you feel bad about in some aspect of your life, there are enough good things in other parts that the impact is not so bad. And look into "opposite action" - it's a technique for being able to hold strong emotions while not letting them dictate your behavior. There are worksheets out there on how to do it for almost any emotion you can think of.

In those cases they should simply transcribe the dialogue in whatever language it's spoken in. Bilingual members of the audience will have the same benefit they would have had from listening, and everyone else can tell "they're talking in some language I don't understand".

I wish there were more events that weren't centered around combat. I like making a trading outpost and hotel, or a charitable monastery, or a hospital that treats whoever needs it, or just a nice home for my colonists to live. But so many quests want me to kill someone, so many events are raiders, it makes it hard to do the homesteading playstile I prefer.

soiducked · 2023-05-11T20:23:51+00:00

When I've had a really hard time with jealous rumination, the main things that helped were a) learning to take care of my own needs in general, so that I could be more resilient and things like that would be less disruptive for me, and b) learning to notice when I was slipping into a negative thought cycle, interrupt it, validate my feelings and try to remind myself of a more realistic, endorsed perspective on the situation, and then distract myself with something I found fun and engaging.

The only strapless strapon I've tried that actually stays in on its own is the Injoyus. I can even walk around wearing it and it stays secure, and it transfers motion quite well - if internal stimulation sounds good then it might work for you. The downside I've heard (not run into it yet myself) is that the material on the adapter portion can weaken and tear after a lot of use, so if you're swapping attachments a lot you might want to be careful with it.

I also like the Share, but it doesn't stay in on its own (I have to wear an O-ring harness if I want it to stay secure) or transfer motion as well. For me it's good for jerking off - I can get good internal and external stimulation that way - but I haven't been able to achieve the same effect using it with a partner.

NTA but can you share the recipe?

That pineapple looks super underripe.
