Have no fear. I have this thread pinned. And yes, sex is way better and more intimate with it. Jews don't want you to know that. The 'hygiene scam'. Literally a name after a greek god, and they didn't go cutting their wangers up.

I used a simple plastic insert, the inner plastic roll from a grocery store clear baggy dispenser. If they are paper, they won't be durable enough. Probably about a thin, 1 to 1.25 inch plastic tube. You'll need to cut about 1.5" off. Soften the edges w a lighter.

Poke two holes on one end, opposite each other. Use small bungee cord (sold in the sewing section) down to another larger waistband elastic, around the leg above the calf, below the knee. You want a small buckle in the same size, like what's used for chest straps on backpacks, to hold it together.

That's the retention mechanism that will tug as you walk. Keep walking to promote circulation.

Get 1.5" medical tape. Not the white stuff but the really sticky beige stuff. Wrap it tightly, backwards around the outside of the tube. Roll your skin back and put your glans in. Roll whatever you have of your skin to the circ line, then wrap the outside with the same tape, tight enough to hold the foreskin in place.

Go walk around. Set the tension very low at first, because that part of your bits is all fucked up. And if you walk around for 15-30 min the first time and need to keep walking but it's getting painful, reach down below your knee and through your pants, release the buckle. It will still be attached but no longer pulling.

Noob mistakes are too much tension at first. You can pee through the tube, just by releasing the buckle and peeing, then reattaching.

>> No.2795842

>>2795840
so real question why don't you cutfags do saline injection to stretch the sheath skin? the foreskin is excess but the external sleeve/skin tube slides all the way up and down the penis e.g. you can pull back on the base at your fupa and retract the foreskin.

I’m suspecting it’s going to be one of the less-high-end Metabos but there’s a ton of models and the filters on the site don’t work well, and it would be great to get something cheaper.

It's raining again and my roof has another leak. Why don't they make self-sealing roofs. They make self-sealing fuel tanks for race cars and aircraft. Tires can seal automatically using pic-related. So why not have a layer of slime under the shingles or whatever is the top layer. I'm not a conspiracy nut but I think they might be holding back a revolutionary idea so we have to replace our roofs periodically.

I can tell you why it won’t work well

1/ those are meant for minimal rolling adjustments on a carpeted surface. Plastic is hard and inflexible, unlike wheels designed for skateboards. Board wheels have ball bearings, this has a crappy axle that was never designed to handle 500 RPM or whatever.

2/ mounting is fucked. These are designed to be mounted vertically into the bottom of a leg of a bed. They are design to support vertical stress. You will be applying horizontal stress as well. Whatever you mount it in will tear the fuck out

I was moving offices at work a few years ago and instead of unloading all of the crap from the little three-drawer cabinets we have that fit under the desks, I decided to roll mine over and just swap the whole cabinet. I only had to go halfway across the building, maybe 1000 feet, carpeted.

About 3/4 of the way there the axle on one of these style casters gave way and the wheel blew out. I went to go pick up the wheel+axle to fix or toss it and it was hot enough from friction to burn my hand.

What is the deal with building permits?
I grew up in a fixer-upper helping my Dad do plumbing, wiring, siding, remodeling a bathroom, lots of stuff and we never filed for a permit. Once my Dad had the roof replaced and the roofers filed a permit but that's it.
I'm looking for a cheap house to buy and looking at the building permit schedule to get an idea how much a fixer-upper would cost me. I see permit fees for stuff I've done without a permit for my Dad, including a fence. Really? A fence?
Does anybody here (contractor or DIY) ever had to deal with applying for building permits and dealing with inspectors? What is it like?

>> No.2795685

Generally speaking, unless you are doing a structural modification or adding something new, simple repairs and replacement of existing infrastructure doesn't require permits....one exception would be that where newer codes are in force for things like electrical and plumbing and other systems you may need to bring things up to code if they had been grandfathered in and need to be replaced with newer equipment becausecthe old stuff isn't made anymore.

All the stuff on that list is either new work on an accessory structure, or it involves modification to major structural elements or systems and in the case of stuff like kitchen remodels very likely involves moving or upgrading electrical and plumbing....if you weren't doing that then stuff like new cabinets or tile or counters probably wouldn't require permits.

Stucco/siding work is probably on there so they can see what's there for sheer loading and weatherproofing and trigger upgrades if needed, also because people will often use the opportunity of stripped walls to bootleg in plumbing and electrical if no one is looking.

Anything that typically has a very long service life is more likely to have older work grandfathered in and need to be brought up to code when major repairs or total replacement happens...its also possible that an older structure was built better than code minimums and that the old work/systems will pass inspection without needing upgrades....but they wanna look when you are working on it.

Like other anons said, that's hard. You will ultimately grow and be stronger.

In the meantime, bolster your fertility. Iodine. Yeah you knew I was going to say it! 50mg a day. Work your way up. Then conceive. { I've also found the book Perfect Matrimony by Weor to be helpful. }

Jim at Buyiodine and the info at Whyiodine and the recent Berry MD interview of Brownstein MD is a good resource.

I've done it myself and walked other couples through it. What is killing IQ, and affecting fertility -besides all the other better known things- is all the thyroid hormone needed by the baby in the first trimester, is provided by the mother. Who herself, is usually woefully deficient. She makes it in her thyroid and ovaries, all females have that capability. Iodine is the number 1 missing ingredient, even made to be a pariah by the mainstream synthetic patent pharma cartel. Wonder why? It's deficiency drops fertility, intelligence and health of a people.

Then there's also the use of bromide in everything (potassium bromate fire retardant, bromated flour (U.S.))... it gets absorbed in place of iodine. I could go on but everyone is bored of my schtick.

I must be retarded. I cannot find a good guide on how to make a wall like picrel without the wood part. Specifically, a 2foot cobblestone retaining wall, utilizing mortar or cement. It won't be very load-bearing, 80% decoration 20% to create a clean terraced area.
I've looked up fieldstone, cobblestone, riverstone, and they all do psuedo-walls with fake thin rocks mortared onto wood.

Also, every guide says to use a drainage pipe with the holes facing downwards. Don't I want them pointing up at an angle (or in every direction for that matter) so water can seep from the dirt into the pipe and redirected out to the yard? Do i have to lay the pipe on a downward slope too?

i've only ever put in the perforated plastic tile. i'd wager holes on the bottom would be to keep the pipe from filling with dirt. water only flows downhill and has to go somewhere, so plan out drainage accordingly

Yes, but the specifics of the technology used to do it has been lost to time and what examples remain ate believed by many to have been accomplished with assistance from advanced extraterrestrial visitors.

No. And as far as a counterpoise, the coax shielding acts as the counterpoise.

I have a truck with tie down brackets I'm not using.
I like the clean look of these brackets - would it be crazy to get 2 - one for VHF and another for HF? seems like a logical design, but I can only find one manufacturer.

Easier and better to use your whole roof as a counterpoise.

we're back to sticking a 4 foot hf antenna on the roof of a truck cab?
It's an aluminum body and I don't want to do anything permanent.

Ah, yeah that's why I mag mount. Parking garages just knock them over safely because of the mag mount, but it's strong enough for 110mph winds which is as fast as I'll ever drive my truck. You really do want a counterpoise for a vertical and the big metal body works wonders. Usually.

I guess this is not a straightforward process like putting putty on a normal wall due to the more humid conditions.
I don’t need to make it look aesthetic because I want to mount a cabinet over it. What would I need to use? The answers online are a bit inconsistent.

yup, used this on my bathtub after taking off the glass door it came with, it's barely noticeable.

You could silicone-in some SS bolts, studs, or pins to make it look like they are supposed to be there
