Why would that matter? I’m 40, it’s not like I’ve got raging hormones and change opinions every month or so.

Actually, I would like to know what being a woman would be like. I suspect the opposite sex would also like to know what it would be like to be a man.

It’s just human curiosity I guess.

Why is sucking better than blowing?

Ummm… not a girl, but I suspect it’s easier to suck things out of it than blow into it…

And blow… lots if it!

And after a while, they would’ve turned to shit as well.

What, you’ve never edged while waiting to see a heated debate?

No it’s not. You try wating for an hour with your dick in your hand edging while waiting to see some serious… ahem… debates over global warming.

Oh, cool 👍 😉.

Maybe write him a PM, I don’t think he reads posts that much, lol 😂. And just for the hosting, not coding the bot. He’s way too busy with AI Horde and other projects.

Are you doing a bit? Why is a salt filled washing machine tub needed for grounding?

More active surface in touch with the soil, better conductivity. The salt increases conductivity. Once it starts transferring some of it to the sourrounding soil, the conductivity will be even better.

You can literally buy a grounding rod on Amazon for like $20 with a cord to connect to whatever you need. Just buy one of those and run the cable out the window. It has a handle, it pulls out of the ground when you’re done, and you can clean it off and put it away. No permanent installation required.

I was talking about a permanent solution, not a temporary one.

Android warns you every step of the way if you do stuff the manufacturer and Google don’t advise (basically, anything that doesn’t come from the PlayStore or messing with services and permissions). If you’re an average Joe, certainly you’re not gonna do those things. Manually installing apps not in the PlayStore requires you to first find those apps, which is not something your average Joe will do. Messing with permissons or services, again, regular users wouldn’t even know where to find those settings or what they mean, let alone know what bypassing those will do… and you get warned all the way through the process. Even if you accidentaly tap on something, if it’s an advanced setting, it will awarn you, and you have a countdown before you can tap Yes or tick the “I agree” box or whatever. Certainly a regular user will understand that this is not something to be messed with, so it will not choose to bypass those settings.

I know what you mean… I’ve made shitty choices most of my life… but, things are what they are, have a family now as well and you can’t just give up on that.

But, still… as you I sometimes wonder what things would have been like if I didn’t make my current life choices.

Tell him what I proposed in the comment above. It’s not expensive at all and works great (have done it in a few houses).

This is what was told to me by an old-timer electrician.

You dig a hole, 2m x 2m x 1.5m (or as deep as you can dig with a shovel). You take the load cylinder from an old washing machine. Weld a rod to that thing (on the side of the cylinder, not the middle). Make the welds good cuz that thing will go under ground and the elements will eat through it in a matter of years if it’s not welded correctly. Put the cylinder with the rod in the ground. Make a mixture of about 3 to 5kg of salt with soil (depending on the size of the cylinder and the type of soil) and fill the cylinder up with that. Put the rest of the dirt in the hole. Voila, a grounding solution that will last at least 50 years (or at least that’s what he told me).

not allowed to drive a grounding rod into the ground, etc…

What 🤨… how so?

Some really good advice here and people really tried, wow, just really surprised that not all people on Lemmy are tech geeks… cuz, I have to say that I do have a hard time interpreting situations and emotions and knowing that I can write about my problems and have a bunch of people really get into the issue and give really good advice, that really really means a lot 😊.

15 years, wow… yeah, you might still be in love with him/her… or something they had, but you just don’t get that in your current relationship.

This was kind of an eye opener for me as well. I’ve had a hard time of letting go of some of my exes, and I always wondered why. What you said coupled with the fact that I sometimes have a habbit of idealizing a relationship and fanatsizing about what it would look like 3, 5, 10 years from now, is at the root of the problem, but I never framed it like that.

Thank you for the words of wisdom 👍. I am past those relationships, but I never figured out why it took me so long to get over them.

OK, fair enough, I gues it can be used with proper prompting for answers.

Do you have some logs? Would like to have a look at that.
