Honestly I use the electric hair clippers and just buzz everything down with the guard off instead of using a razor, much faster and the results are acceptable to me

I think it may be. I consistently do great during what I refer to "working hours" from about 6AM to 6PM on weekdays. It's the nights and weekends (I call this "off hours") that are hit or miss. Who I'm with, where I'm at, what I'm doing...all of this makes more of a difference than the meds do in the grand scheme of things. My life generally just sucks when I'm not at work or similarly engaged with something.

At the moment I'm waiting out the process of paying down debts and dealing with a few other obligations that make staying home and doing little to nothing beyond my day job the most productive option for the long term. I am absolutely miserable during off hours but it's allowing me to get so many of the root causes of my anxiety dealt with. After a few more months I can switch gears and deal with the ADHD and the mood issues, right now it's either/or.

I'm on the masculine side of non-binary (maybe like 2/3rds of the time) so it's probably no surprise that I like variety, even within the same day. Go window shopping for home goods then head out for beers and axe throwing. Drive out to the countryside for a round of sporting clays then get our nails done on the way to a sushi bar. Grab tacos between an art class and a night at the movies. I really like to go on dates where there's something to do as well as just stuff to look at and time to talk. Active interaction beyond just talking makes it a deeper bonding experience for me, that's what really gets me into somebody.

I love being pursued by people of any gender even though I have a preference women and nonbinary folks over men.

Admitting that you have depressive symptoms will make some doctors ignore everything else until they put you on an antidepressant, I suspect this is primarily a liability concern for them. Disclosing a history of alcoholism or drug use will get you ignored or backburnered for a lot of types of healthcare. Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder (different doctors have suggested that I may have one or the other, I suspect it's the latter if either) are likewise hard stigmas to overcome when seeking care.

Before I found a good GP and a decent med manager things had gotten so bad that had to lie to my previous mental healthcare provider about my physical health problems and vice versa if I wanted to be taken seriously. That's not something I encourage people to do unless they have no other option. I only chose to do so because I had done my research and was willing to accept the consequences if I was wrong. My current team is much better than my last one and I'm honest with them, they actually listen.

Only for 3 reasons, at least for me.

1. I try to be responsible with my sexual health, it's something I ask about because I get tested regularly and I prefer to know that my partners do too.

2. I like to know what she's into (assuming she's experienced) or to know to go slow and be considerate if she's new to this.

3. A lot of people have a history of sexual trauma. It's good to know what triggers people have so that you don't turn date night into a miserable experience for your partner.

DM me if you want, a lot of what you're saying sounds relatable

I am madly in love with my 40 year old girlfriend as a 27 year old.

It really depends on what the context is. I didn't start dating until I was 22 (if I'm remembering correctly) in a place where that's usually happening at 14 or 15. In my case it was because I had a bad home life, lived in the middle of nowhere (no real opportunity), and worked full time while taking night classes for my degree. Even when I was in highschool I had no real time or space to date, I was taking college classes or working alongside that from the moment I was able to drive. Why would anyone consider that to be a red flag?

Now if someone had means, motive, and opportunity for a length of time but still hadn't managed to find a relationship... maybe then I'd start to question what reasons people may not be willing to give them a chance.

It all depends on your budget, your goals, and your level of determination.

If you just want manual equipment then I'd recommend a small Bridgeport mill and the biggest lathe you can accommodate for size and afford. Bring an elephant gun to a squirrel hunt, not the other way around.

CNC is a step up in cost, price, and capability. If you're just machining copies of existing weapons for personal use or accessories/components to fit common guns then you would probably be able to find the designs readily available in 3D models. Programming the CNC equipment to cut a model is one skill, creating that model from nothing is a substantially different skill and requires more computer capabilities.

Pick up a copy of the Machinery's Handbook, it's your Bible in this field. There's a reason they've been revising and republishing that book for over a century, it's that good.

You can learn how to use any equipment from YouTube and reading the manuals fairly well in my opinion but take that with a caveat. Just because you know how to do A, B, and C doesn't mean you necessarily know when to do it. Machinery is like firearms usage in general, there's a big difference between simply owning one and truly knowing how to use it to full potential. As long as you use common sense you should be able to experiment safely, Reddit and the rest of the internet will be full of helpful resources.

I've heard a couple ideas kicked around for that before.

The most common was an intentionally inflicted drug overdose, that would look very convincing if the person had a history of drug use. That plus the fact that the police general don't care that much about junkies would mean an investigation would likely be superficial or simply not bothered with.

Another direction would be arson of a home or business the person owns resulting in death. If done carefully the evidence should be destroyed in the process but that would likely need to stand up to stricter scrutiny because of the fire. This would potentially work well if the person was having financial trouble. Under the right circumstances any evidence of arson could be construed as evidence of ttempted insurance fraud gone horribly wrong.

Back when I thought I wanted monogamy and planned on getting married I had planned on taking my future wife's last name. I ended up just changing mine for completely unrelated reasons a couple years later.

I've met Fifth Graders who unironically didn't know who Hitler was and thought the Holocaust had something to do with black people.

I have three firearms that fire identical ammunition, the effect on target will be different between the 3" barrel revolver, the 7.5" barrel revolver, and the 18" barrel rifle. Extra inches of barrel (and the rifle not venting gas like a revolver does) will lead to higher velocity and in turn that increases the energy transfered to the target. The round is equally effective regardless of the gun so long as the barrel length is the same.

Most American answer

I'd probably try hammering a screwdriver into the seam between the container and the lid.

Get your tinfoil hat ready, this'll be a doozy. You're not thinking big enough.

Step 1. "There's a new tariff in town."

This accomplishes multiple things that benefit the US in the long run. Firstly it raises tax revenue without "passing a new tax". Talk about a captive audience, imports are where they've (the gov't and the rest of the globe) got us by the balls. Secondly it puts the average American in a more vulnerable position, nothing quite like self-inflicted civil unrest to give the pretext for seizing power. But wait, there's more. If you kiss the ring and grovel well enough we'll tarriff you less than the other countries so you have an advantage.

Step 2. "Anschluss 2: Electric Boogaloo"

Remember the fact that the Panama Canal is hugely important to global trade? Pepperidge Farms remembers. Who runs Bartertown? Yeah, it's (gonna be) us. No more need for NAFTA when we span the whole continent. Red, White, and Blueland will look great as a giant Air Force base surrounded by rare earth metal mines. After all, those missile guidance chips don't grow on trees. Plus the EU needs to be reminded that they're in prime position for a spit-roasting by the US and Russia.

Step 3. "Freedom Costs A Buck O'Five"

Countries are going to be lining up out the door to make trade deals when we have more leverage. You don't want to sell us mineral rights? Too bad, come see us after a month of no grain or oil. You think owe you a bunch of money? We think you'll feel different after you spend six months at the back of the queue for the shipping lanes. Foreign adversaries waging war against you? Too bad, you didn't pay the subscription fee so we're bricking your fighter jets. We'll be getting out of debt, and we'll make everyone else pay for it.

Happened to me once too, I have made it a point to climb onto the boat ever since.

Honestly I'd be thrilled if a girlfriend bought me flowers, the gesture alone means the world to me

Misread that as "Nazi Sybian" and started laughing my ass off

I was going to guess public urination, apparently I'm way off

I had the opposite experience. I am an alcoholic but I find that the Adderall makes my desire to start drinking lower and enables me to quit drinking more easily after I've started. It seems like it helps tone down all of my "addictive" tendencies, not just the drinking. Conversely I'd say it seems to have weakened the positive response I have to most stimuli, I don't seem to enjoy anything quite as much as I did before and that goes double for my preexisting bad habits.

A lot of the time you can circumvent the internet restrictions by installing an application instead of using the web browser. Spotify (for example) worked if you installed the desktop application but not if you navigated to it from the browser.

Bounty clash with a free hunter to start, that jumps you through the first few levels with minimal time invested and shouldn net you some money for gear.

Do a couple runs where you just kill grunts and rush to the towers for weapon spawns, this way you take better gear than whatever your free hunter started with.

Take the serpent trait to yoink clues, use that to get a feeling for where on the map looks to be safe. Slowly clear 2-3 compounds and extract via whatever exit is the furthest from the bounty.

I usually have pretty good luck getting my hunters up to level 35 or so, unfortunately by then I run into another team of hunters and lose the fight.

My goal for myself is to get to where I can somewhat consistently 1v1 rival hunters, I rarely play on teams because I don't have friends that play the game and I don't have a headset.

From what I remember of the animations in the game it seemed like that was accounted for. There was a cutout in the handguard to allow the chainsaw bayonet to run outside the back of the hand while the user held the gun. It also seemed like the chainsaw wasn't running until the user took the rifle off their shoulder slightly and started to rev it up, I'm assuming there was a pull start or some kind of lever or button that had to be used to get the saw going each time.
