I am always an “avoid tolls” kind of person. I use Google maps a lot and have never had an issue with this.

But just the other week, I was coming back from a road trip and it kept trying to make me use a rolled expressway!! Wtf!! I even triple checked my settings. I don’t understand wtf is up with that

It’s interesting because this has to be pretty conflicting for that man.

I mean, yes you do have memories at 6 as an adult…but really not many. I know he knew he was taken away from his family. But it says that they kidnapper interestingly raised him to being an adult. I wonder what that relationship between him and his kidnapper was like and if he felt that she had become his adopted mom or not.

Shame his real mother never got to learn that he was alive and well. I’m sure everyone assumed he died…as is what happens to most children who go missing.

Definitely the latter. Tmi (but the OP is tmi anyway) but I have never been able to feel sexual pleasure so I have never had an orgasm. Nothing wrong with me to my knowledge. I’m not paralyzed or anything and I never had any traumatic sexual encounters. It just doesn’t work like that for me.

I’ll finish the video…eventually…

Honestly, it sucks, but nowadays, $400 isn’t overly high for condo HOAs. At least not in my region of the state. For stand alone, detached homes, it’s insane. But fees are crazy high nowadays for everyone. That price for a condo HOA is not outrageous unfortunately.

It is incredibly odd…isn’t it? So many words saying very little.

To OP, I think it would help others to give you advice if you say exactly what sort of plans you had that didn’t work out. Plans not working out come in all shapes and sizes, and advice for one thing doesn’t necessarily apply to another.

If it’s a relationship you seem to desire, then asking for more relationship focused advice may be more fruitful than vaguebooking and not getting much in the way of useful responses.

I mean…yes and no. A down payment for a single family home in today’s market is many orders of magnitude more expensive than $20k. But I agree that weddings are too expensive. Just have a small party and use that money elsewhere.

Rip

Jeez dude I hope your hand is still functional ok

I feel like I’ve heard that before. Something about it being concerning if the pain suddenly stops because it indicates that it ruptured. I’m not a doctor though, just something I heard so it might not be accurate.

How did you get your fingers chopped off??

I had some sort of bad migraine episode where I couldn’t stop puking. Every time I threw up, the force of doing so would cause a wave of pain that was like someone hit me in the head with a baseball bat.

I had some people install a new water heater at my place. They turned off what was labeled as the water heater at the breaker and proceeded to change out the heater.

I noticed later that it seemed odd that the AC hadn’t cycled on all day. Eventually realized the circuit breaker was mislabeled.

The guys doing the water heater replacement were working on a live line and I guess they didn’t bother to check with a multimeter. Jesus. They didn’t get hurt/killed thankfully.

I’m an American and work in healthcare. “PCP” is a common way to abbreviate “primary care physician”. Generally, it is not said out loud that way, but it is often abbreviated in forms and documentation.

And yes, I giggle when I see it because I’m immature!

Mine is also my real name

Ah yeah ok haha. The generation divides are only so accurate as to life experiences!!

Are you an older millennial? I’m a younger millennial and I’ve never even so much as seen a typewriter in person let alone typed on one. We were taught to type in school though on computers.

I used an android app called “Just Run”. It’s a free couch to 5K app with no ads. Downside is it’s very simple and it only trains you on the length of your runs, not your distance. So I paired it with a cheap smartwatch to figure out how far I was going. I didn’t make it to 5k at the end of the app (altho I was able to run for 30 mins straight like the app trains you), but I continued to run afterwards now only using my smartwatch.

Initially I was going to run more frequently, but through the advice on the app, I found that it’s best to have at least one rest day in between runs. So I run every one to two days ideally unless I have something going on. It feels less pressuring and draining to do that way too.

Initially, my feet and knees (and even a bit of my chest from using my breathing muscles more lol) hurt a lot, but I just went slow and kept at it and eventually my body got used to running and now everything is fine. I do have mild chronic pain in my left foot, but I think it’s unrelated because it started happening before I picked up running.

Maybe a bit tmi, but I always be sure to take a dump in the morning before I go out for a run lol!!

Good luck! Remember, you don’t have to be Usain Bolt!

I agree that modern smartphones are too big, but that’s what the vast majority of the options are nowadays. I don’t know if you can call it a “gimmick” anymore if literally all of them are like that. It’s getting harder and harder to find a reasonably sized phone. But believe me, if I didn’t have a folding phone, I’d be looking out for small phones like the Zen phone.

? Just because it’s not practical for everyone doesn’t mean it’s “just a gimmick”.

Modern smartphones are freaking gigantic. Women’s pants pockets are comically tiny. Modern smartphones physically would not fit in the majority of my pants. I bought a Z Flip so I could fit a modern phone in my pants and not be forced to carry around a purse.

The length is important for women’s pants pockets, not necessarily the thickness. It is practical for me. No, it’s not practical for everyone.
