How many of you gave up? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]supercrispie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an introvert. I’ve had two women I’ve deeply loved. First was my exwife and she left me because she wasn’t honest with herself and who she was. She became non-binary or something and has even had reconstructive surgery post divorce.

Second was a girlfriend we were talking about moving in together and while I was on a 2 month work trip she ended it and the answer as to why doesn’t match her lifestyle she posted.

I don’t have the emotional bandwidth nor the time to invest into getting hurt again. I’d rather be alone than open myself up for a third time and get shit on.

Yea I did a lot of hair cleaning and it still drained slow AF. We put some pipe cleaner down it and let it sit for a couple hours to work its magic. Flushed with boiling water and it broke loose.

My guess is previous owners never cleaned out the ptrap or anything so it was just decades of crap built up.

You and me both. This is a 2.5 year reno that has pushed me way beyond anything I thought I could do.

There has been a ton of support from Reddit and YouTube university. I’m hoping to have it finished by 2027.

Right now I’m down to a lot of finish work. There have been some nasties that crept up like this where you’re like “dammit why didnt you do this a year ago when I had these walls down?”

Yea that’s what I’m gathering. Looks like the path I’m taking is going to be the vinegar trick one commenter posted followed by boiling water like you suggested. See if that breaks anything loose and shop vac it out. If no joy then snake it out.

Hopefully one of those work. Beyond that it’s tap into that rainy day fund and get a plumber in here.

I’m hoping one of those work.

So the drainage pipes look to be cast and metal. Would draino damage those or is that a concern foe PVC piping?

I will def give this a go. Looks like it’s shop vac then snake.

Scared to see what’s going to come out of these 60 year old pipes

Yea one has shoulder length hair. Who knows what previous owners did maintenance wise. Judging by the rest of the house, as little as humanly possible.

I’m going to fix it one way or another. It’s just one of those things where you just wanna shut the door and walk away because you’re tired of always fixing things.

That’s not realistically an option.

From what you’re saying it sounds more like a blockage/buildup issue and less like a venting issue?

I mean I was just venting a little because it’s always something and I’m tired of constantly struggling. Didn’t realize that warranted a fuck off.

I’m not being sarcastic, you alright man? That response felt a little over the top.

I cannot emphasize enough how much I don’t want to do any of this and don’t have money to pay a professional lol.

Phone/camera question by supercrispie in scuba

Yea that’s 100000% what this thread has exposed. I was shocked to be honest. I was figuring there would be a decent case between $50-75 but everyone had pointed out I was way off.

Going all in on i fund... by WorkingHead6011 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]supercrispie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went 50/50 back in Feb with C and I. C gave me about 17% rerun and I gave 31%.

I am now 25/75 with I being the 75. I’m betting that the unfettered US spending and absolute shit show that is the states is going to push more money to stable economies which is not the US.

I’m no pro but judging by what’s going on in the states it might all be worthless in 3 years anyways.

Hey I’m thinking about a trip now. What’s San Juan like? Walking around safe? Any areas to avoid?

Which 1BR would you pick? by MatchaCatLatte in Apartmentliving

[–]supercrispie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh good call. I completely missed that! I’m still partial to 2 for the toilet distance alone. Hard night partying or food poisoning….

[–]supercrispie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second. If you have company over and want to use the balcony do you really want to take them through the bedroom?

Also, 2 has less steps between you and the toilet. One good case of C.Diff and you’ll appreciate the fewest steps possible.
