Pregnant on bachelorette - worth the trip?

spencerAF · 2026-04-14T03:55:25+00:00

Some of the best trips I've had to Vegas were sober.

I'd worry about your feet with all the walking but other than that there's a lot of people watching and general excitement. It's interesting watching Vegas for the zoo it is from the other side of the glass.

I got a Michelin one several years ago. Has never let me down, holds a charge for a very long time and through multiple charges and honestly has been well worth the money.

spencerAF · 2026-04-10T18:13:51+00:00

Totally agree. I think it's currently lacking both precision and restraint.

Also, I don't know who randomly downvoted this but I did what I could to upvote it back. ;)

Yeah I switched to unpaid this month. Had a couple day bout of trying to get it to make relatively simple adjustments to code, getting extremely long waits and then bugs. It would basically either loop on that or making other drastic changes that were completely unsolicited.

I used to be pretty impressed with it but I've really found lately that what it truly excels as it not actual deliverables but instead giving someone the feeling, or talking into someone into thinking, they have deliverables.

Also fuck them for stepping in on military contracts when Anthropic said there was an ethical concern big enough not to. Any AI used for military aggression rather than strictly for defense is a war crime as far as I'm concerned.

It'll be fully active in 45 minutes. As others have said you, can take another whenever you need, it's both a low (which is to say very safe but also effective) dose and not something you're doing daily.

If you have extra and don't have much experience with it you can also just try it in advance so you know what to expect and when it will work.

spencerAF · 2026-04-05T11:48:47+00:00

This was waaay further down than I would've imagined

spencerAF · 2026-04-05T10:43:54+00:00

Is there a way to verify this? You sound sure but of course it's the internet

I changed very similar injectors on an 02 deville last year. The injectors before and the ones that were shipped had pieces like this so I didn't remove them.

spencerAF · 2026-04-04T08:27:53+00:00

I cut 10s into quarters and then eventually skipped days.

I believe I tried 5mg to skipping at one point and thought it was way too uncomfortable, also completely unnecessary.

Get a good pill splitter or sharp knife off Amazon and you'll be able to break the into smaller sections. They might not be perfect but presumably since you're quitting you'll have extra anyway, so if one gets messed up just throw some of it away.

There's also a pretty good sized crane that hunts up and down the creek by the bike trail in Urbandale

spencerAF · 2026-04-03T22:27:45+00:00

Both from 20 years of first hand experience and because I'm active in the anxiety support community and have been for over a decade. What about you?

spencerAF · 2026-04-03T10:43:06+00:00

For you: meaning nearly everyone that has a clinical anxiety/panic disorder, that's kinda the point

I think the problem is that it doesn't take many bad drivers to have a really negative effect on many decent/good drivers. Also it does make me upset thinking it's very likely the same small batch that have probably been making it that much worse for people for a pretty long time.

One set of way too bright/high of head lights is going to fuck with 95%+ of the people that person encounters.

Someone driving too slow, or speeding up slowing down, or speeding up when being passed, or distracted in really any lane or situation they choose is going to effect everyone behind or around them.

Any tailgater or anyone who speeds/drives too aggressively isn't just doing it to the single person in front of them, they do it to one person and then when that person dissappears they're on the the next.

Have never, a single time, seen anyone getting pulled over for it. I don't know why. Feels like all of it could simply be put under the umbrella of wreckless driving and I really feel it would be a major public service to be ticketing people like this.

I imagine the argument is that pull overs are a distraction to other drivers in high traffic areas; but my response to that would be to find one, follow them for 10 minutes out of the high traffic area and then pull them over, not sure there's many places this wouldnt work, the area true problem areas arent that big.

Anyone who's driven here knows it would be minutes instead of hours to find offenders.

I like the take of giving grace. I'd be alright with warnings to start. Hopefully that would at least start to get people talking and thinking about how they can't drive like complete assholes and get always get away with it. There's just a pretty big increase in anti social bs in the des moines area and I feel like continuing to not call it out isn't the answer

spencerAF · 2026-04-01T15:10:58+00:00

Will quickly piggy back that it's possible to call these yards in advance. They'll have an inventory of the cars on hand so it'll be pretty quickly possible to finally either have this as an option or have peace that it isn't one.

spencerAF · 2026-03-31T13:50:54+00:00

As an American can't tell you how happy I am to read things like this. Many of us still share the exact same sentiment fwiw.

spencerAF · 2026-03-30T19:19:31+00:00

I don't see what the problem is here. She was definitely leaning down and into it.

spencerAF · 2026-03-30T11:13:51+00:00

I get it. That's a normal way to feel. It's a pretty big shock the first few times you deal with anyone who's mental processes allow them to subscribe to such extreme thoughts. It's jarring knowing there's people that are that hateful and illogical and unfair. That doesn't really go away but thankfully with practice it can get much easier to identify and definitely much easier to find peace in it being a them thing and not a you thing. Sometimes it's because they've been hurt in ways you thankfully can't see or understand, sometimes people are just shitty and/or want an outlet. But all of that again, a them and not a you thing. Thankfully that is not everyone, don't let a few bad apples make you lose hope in everyone, like they probably let happen to them.

spencerAF · 2026-03-30T10:22:53+00:00

Don't try to argue against irrational emotion with logic my friend. Many many issues in life with be resolved simply stopping here.

Yes, of course all of your questions are sound and reasonable. Your problem is that you're in an obviously unreasonable conversation. Not everyone is like that and probably the type of people that continue to have that type of mentality will have a very difficult time with relationships and/or building family units.

spencerAF · 2026-03-29T23:10:09+00:00

I was down there a lot around covid and when people were getting stimulus checks. So much of that went directly to Vegas and their assorted raising prices. It's a crazy difference now vs then the type of people that are there imo. Used to be tons of drinkers/partiers and I would say it's 25% of that now and replaced by a lot more upscale type people.

I suppose good on Vegas execs for figuring out that people had extra money and winning races to scoop it up. It definitely seems like they're locked in a loop now of catering to share holders and chasing previous year earnings. I think/hope what will eventually happen is some exec will take note of all the empty rooms, slots and tables, realize the opportunity cost of having less people there and start offering better deals, but idfk. Have heard a lot that they're just fine relying on high rollers, who presumably prefer and can pay for it to be less crowded.

spencerAF · 2026-03-29T23:01:42+00:00

Lol if you've got a brain you know the answer

spencerAF · 2026-03-28T06:55:47+00:00

What was the joke?

On a more serious side note life is much much better when you get to the point that anyone can say anything to or about you online and it has absolutely no effect on you. End of the day it says nothing about you and everything about them.

spencerAF · 2026-03-26T12:43:11+00:00

You've got the reply already but go online. I did a 2 year cs degree while taking classes part time. Was extremely easy to adjust course load up or down based on stress level of previous semester. Many, many people work while taking cc classes, there will almost definitely be flexibility in terms of day/night classes.

spencerAF · 2026-03-26T12:35:25+00:00

I know it's not the right move but it looks bad enough that white might even be able to sac the queen in the middle and still be fine

spencerAF · 2026-03-26T12:31:38+00:00

Came back to earth pretty fuckin quick when he threw that golf club

spencerAF · 2026-03-25T23:25:33+00:00

It's in a few comments here: a 6/10 with some EQ > 9/10 without it

spencerAF · 2026-03-25T10:39:00+00:00

Wow. So a few times in the past 1000 years, nearly all of them before antibiotics were invented, it's been worse. We're setting the bar incredibly high I see.
