Individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) typically struggle significantly with taking genuine accountability for their actions and the impact they have on others.

Oh my bad! I misread your reply

Also it weighs 6.9 ounces, not 1.2kg lol. Click into the picture to see it more clearly also.

I mean, this is outdoors in full Colorado sun. It’s pretty readable. Yeah if I point it directly at the sun it’s hard to read, but so is my phone. There’s way more angles where this is not an issue than where it is.

Box is fantastic for what you’re looking for, OP. It’s probably the least locked down of them all due to running android and being able to put your own apps on it.

I’m reading One Piece colorized version right now on it and don’t think I’d be able to with any other reader.

I absolutely love my go color 7. Wish I could get the second version of it for stylus support, but it’s absolutely fantastic. Reading through One Piece manga at the moment in color and it’s awesome.

Battery life for an actual android device is incredible. I’ll buy another one the next time I am in the market for one.

I think part of it is maybe people change or are shocked by the realization of the immediate added responsibility, but also remember that you’re certainly not going to sleep as much, like ever again. Losing sleep regularly when you had so much control over your sleeping habits is really impactful to your mental state.

My wife and I didn’t really get angry with each other or change our behavior towards each other, but we definitely were much more tired. At the same time though, you have this wonderful little person that you are shaping (that shits and eats ALL the time) - it’s a massive change of routine. People inherently don’t like change.

I feel a lot of what you’re afraid of stems from this. Just ensure that you both go into it knowing you will need each other to support each other. Do it as a team, share the responsibilities, and truly enjoy those moments because they go by SO fucking fast.

Treat it like a marathon and not a sprint. Compete with each other to be the first to apologize and diffuse the situation when things get heated. Marriage isn’t easy, but it can be rewarding to share that part with your better half.

I hope you figure out how to weather your storm! It’s an amazing thing to see them grow up and to be there every step of the way as a team.

This should be higher up. OP clearly learned a lesson here but one larger lesson most everyone can learn is that neodymium magnets aren’t the only kind of magnets. Especially when high temperature performance is needed. Samarium Cobalt magnets are much better suited for high temperature and corrosive applications. Plus if I remember correctly they’ve been around longer.

Most neodymium loses it’s magnetism at 200-230C. Some Samarium Cobalt can retain their magnetic properties all the way up to 350C or higher grades up to 500C (1022F)

I nerded out on this a few years ago when I made a magnetic thermal blanket for my pellet smoker and experienced the same thing. Samarium Cobalt did the trick in my application.

There’s also a similar service for renting books through your e-reader called Libby. On kobo their Overdrive service uses Libby for the same end result - renting books from your local library on your digital reader. And it’s free!

Prepare for the weather properly! Your friend should take care of most of the tough parts, but one thing you can do is understand what “the mountains” means in your area.

For example, for me the mountains in Colorado get down below freezing still this time of year, so if I were camping I’d need to ensure I have a proper sleeping bag (temperature rated for the overnight temps you’ll be in up in the mountains) and pad to go under it (absolutely necessary for thermal reasons really any time you’re camping) plus clothes to wear overnight, such as thermal tops and bottoms and socks, even a hat/beanie if it’s cold enough. If you’ve never camped in cold weather, it can be intimidating, miserable, or even deadly if you’re unprepared. I absolutely love doing it (I use a hammock and not a tent, it’s a blast).

However your friend may have most of this for you, so focus on your clothes, he should probably have advice on this topic as well.

Enjoy your first time! It can be an incredible experience with the right company and planning. It’s always fun to connect with nature and disconnect from our everyday lives and technology.

Yeah, certainly if he were a normal President. But he’s a textbook narcissist who only gives a shit about himself and capitulating to the ultra elite. Throw some performance goals set up by his boss Vladimir Putin, and what do you get?

Absolute fucking chaos alongside fleecing the lower 99.99% for anything you can get and manufacturing a crash in the stock market so you and your elite friends can, you guessed it, profit from it tremendously.

A rational president, you bet. This dude is not that.

200 euros equals $228 dollars as of the time of my reply to you. OP has actually done folks a favor by including both values and their equivalencies so that people using both currencies can understand the impact to their pocketbooks.

Fucking A

You literally swear on the Bible before taking office

Haha and even more ironic here is that trump skipped this step this time and nobody said a word.

Well I’ve had essentially every console Nintendo has ever produced, but at least for now I’m not excited about the switch 2 for this very reason, I’m fairly put off about it.

I’m either going to buy a steamdeck or wait for the cost to go down (Nintendo is usually firm with their pricing though) on the Switch 2 before I’ll ever buy it or any games.

Especially while the US languishes under trump for the next nearly four years. I’m not going to have a lot of extra space for added expenses and price gouging.

I believe I found the switch but can’t find the price - IXR-G24044X-24PH

I also love this YouTube video, which covers this extremely well - https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

I was an orphan at the time, but when I was putting myself through college I had food stamps and it helped me a ton with keeping me fed. I was fortunate to have that program available to me at that time in my life. I also worked several jobs at the same time.

I don’t think so, but I’m certainly not an expert on the subject. However, I would think at worst you could hold it until you pass out. Once you pass out, your body would no longer consciously be purposely trying not to breathe, and you would then start breathing before you regain consciousness.

Logically that’s how I think it would go, at least.
