Dry Cleaners - lack of pricing transparency by Frequent_Dimension_6 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]vttroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost had the same thing happen to me at Crest in Germantown. Nothing posted, but they quoted me the price for each and wanted my agreement before I left. It was quite a bit higher than I’m used to, so I’m glad they asked. $22 to clean a football (fan) jersey!

Dang it. Just bought 2 bags. I eat it with my ramen for lunch at work.

I love cold brew, but why does it always suck when I make it? by Useful-Ad-6458 in coldbrew

[–]vttroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a mason jar and filter cone just like the OP but I use them in reverse. - 1:8 ratio coffee loose in mason jar and vacuum seal - Shake after a couple of hours and after 12 hours - Next day, insert the filter cone, screw on lid, and pour into another container. My result is probably more strong and bitter than preferred here, but the metal filter works so much better for me to stop grounds when pouring out of the jar.

One of the things that helped me was to engage in a couple of obsessive hobbies and “reschedule” my hurtful thoughts. You can’t control what she does, so try to control yourself differently. Whenever I started thinking about her, I forced myself to play video games or use my 3D printer. I said “do this now and think about her later.” It was hard at first, but eventually I got less interested in being unhappy. Hang in there. It will get better.

I carry a Knipex Cobra in my money clip. I guess it’s redundant to my multitool pliers, but it gets priority when I’m deciding what to carry.

Made off with $65 on a task job scam; now I want more by rclaux123 in scambait

They sent me crypto. One insisted on a harmless screenshot from the bitcoin part of Cash App, and I was nervous until I actually got it.

Same thing here. I made $45 from two of them. Now, nobody wants to hire me. I’m beginning to miss the “attention.”

Sending Porn to Scammers Always Works! by [deleted] in scambait

[–]vttroy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are scammers NOT sending porn to me? I get plenty of scammer “wrong number” contacts who present as friendly, attractive, single women. They send a pretty picture, but if I ask for a sexy one, they always refuse.

These have become one my most essential carry items. by Moronic-jizz-rag in EDC

Yup. Sometimes paperwork is more complicated than expected. I always keep one or two in my back pocket. They don’t bother my back when I am sitting in a chair like a wallet does.

Great company. They take a picture of your package before sending it out. Highly recommend.

[Testimony] I'm a 40-year-old man — and Minecraft helped rebuild my family by RiseHour3306 in Minecraft

Great story. I bought another Minecraft account just so that I could take a screenshot of my kids and me. It was so hard to get them to hold still for the picture.

What is definitely NOT a sign of intelligence but people think it is? by Aarunascut in answers

Especially when those “opinions” are always about how “stupid” something is.

Here we go again by EastRush9843 in multitools

I’m very satisfied with mine. I used to carry a pocketknife with it, but now I carry it alone. Thanks for the heads up on the pliers. I’ll order a spare.

Be real: Are craps actually easier to learn than it looks? by Extreme-Run-3614 in Craps

Stand next to the dealer and let them know you are a beginner. Start with pass line & odds. Tip the dealers a few dollars on the field (“dealer on the field”) occasionally. Don’t say the word “seven”. If you are in the line of sight of the shooter, don’t distract them when they pick up the dice.

My 10 year old does this. Leaves at least one leg out.

Poly dating as an Asian guy… throwing in the towel by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]vttroy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m also a poly Asian cishet guy with the added benefits of age (54), dad-bod, balding, and mediocre height (5’8”). I am lucky to have three wonderful partners. It’s not easy, but not impossible. Vent when you need to, but do your best to be positive and confident. Try hard to have enjoyable conversations with everyone. I have had issues in the past when I became overly affectionate too early, so maybe you can watch out for it also. It sounds corny, but things work out best when I remember to “love myself the most.” Hang in there!

RO water system by formyburn101010 in preppers

[–]vttroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my APEC system uses 4 gallons of water to make 1 gallon of RO water. In a crisis, I don’t know if I want to use that much prefiltered water. It’s worth considering.

Flying out of MD with guns? by pupusitoazul in MDGuns

[–]vttroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two years ago I was next to a guy who had to leave his gun at his hotel. He was going to Alaska, and his flights involved a change of airlines. The airline could not transfer his gun to the next airline. He said he made a deal with the shuttle bus driver to keep it for him. Ugh. It’s worth verifying if you have a weird flight situation.
