oww.. that one of the WD40 is a good one, and sometimes you would prefer graphite powder over any oil lubricant.. its a fucking great thing! it doesn't turn into a mess when some dust starts to appear

[@deadprivacy]

@@pbr3s its also patent fucking nonsense, wd40 doesnt evaporate, if itr did it certainly wouldnt collect dust would it? the guy is off his cheese. its a fairly crappy lubricant but a lubricant nonetheless. its actually a very good lubricant for aluminium cutting and pretty good parts cleaner.

@@love2fight205 cos it's just a day... Not really much to do with loving someone or not. I couldn't care less about my own birthday 😂 Nothing special. Just a day. Will come around again next year and the year after that and after that. It's arbitrary and meaningless. Just happens to be the day you were born on. Could've been any other day. It's not special. Millions of people share the same day 🤷‍♂️ There's better things you could be doing with your time, energy and money.

[@love2fight205]

@@HassanShahidCh You make a good point, however I respectfully disagree on the part about it being a normal day. I like to celebrate her as a person and her existence on her especially birthday, while of course I don't have to and it's not the most logical option, I feel like she deserves recognition for being such an amazing person not only everyday, but extra on her birthday. Have a nice day sir!

[@HassanShahidCh]

@@love2fight205 That's totally fine. Just because I don't particularly care about stuff like this doesn't mean no one else should enjoy it. If that's what you wanna do; then do it. i'll say happy birthday and the like to people if it's something they care about. Do I really care...? No. But hey it doesn't cost me much or take much time. I do prefer to stay away from celebrations and crowds and all that stuff. I don't really see the point and prefer to spend my time differently. So yeah.

Want to “master” something faster? Take 10,000-hour rule + the 80/20 rule. Being 80% of a master is enough for most of us. Now...spend 2 hours/weekday & 9 hours/weekend on your desired thing. In two years you’re done, if not sooner. Other life hacks can come into play (slower or faster however you spend those 2,000 hours)

[@donovanmccoy6833]

@Ryan Second Chennel That's why they referred to the 80-20 rule. Basically the idea is 80% of your results come from 20% of your effort. This means by the time you invest 2,000 hours into something, you have ~80% mastery. The other 20% comes from the other 8,000 hours.

don't listen to the last mohican, I advise you *not* to use baby oil either. use natural (extra vergine) olive oil, or actual lubricant. NO baby oil, because that stuff -> is a petrolium based mineral oil -> will probably cause vaginal infection up to a serious yeast infection (no sex for months, gross smell, discharge) -> will probably get you a rash on your penis -> will break a latex condom down

He will take it apart, figure it out and work on it until it IS fixed. He can weld, do body work, and plants a mean garden .. and every .. single .. morning, he makes the coffee and brings me a cup.

On the topic of suits: - fit matters more than anything. - All suits must either be bespoke or adjusted by a tailor. So if you're buying for an event, order early (weeks/months in advance) because it may require more than one round of alterations. - If you're going off the rack, make sure the shoulders of the jacket fit you, and the seat of the pants fit you. Sleeves and legs can be altered more easily by a tailor than these parts. Personally I think suits are stupid and avoid all that bullshit. But when you do it, you should do it right because an ill fitting suit makes you immediately look like a goon.

12:49 - this is absolutely right. If you're balding, the worst thing you can do is try to keep your hair (combover, growing it out, etc.) It makes you look like Gollum. Own your bald look. Shave your head, wear a hat or bandana, maybe get a tan. Balding isn't a choice. *Bald is.* Need examples of looking stylish while bald? Look up The Rock, Jason Statham, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Pitbull, Neil Strauss (brownie points if you know who Neil Strauss is)

The thing about the beard keeping you cool makes sense. If you look up a desert bag, you can have a bag that stays soaked with water on the outside but keeps the water inside. The water evaporating off the outside of the bag will release heat and keep the water inside the bag up to 20 degrees f cooler than the outside temperature. Makes sense.

With a caveat: Be sure that you're practicing effectively. For example, I'm a terrible golfer.

[@SommetiderHvorforDetRoligRolig]

1:16 That is false as fuck.. I did this myself, since i had some patches i wanted to fill in.. When i did it, i was around 25-26, and it seems that my genetics would have filled it in with age either way, but i am certain that it sped up the process.. Also, if you search for it, you will find lots of success stories.. But If your genetics does not allow you to have a full beard, then it most likely will do little for you (except for the areas that your genetics allow you beard hair, like for an example, mustache).. Also.. You have to put it on 2 times/day, every day.. Normally minoxidil is used for hair loss, and when you stop using it, you will start loosing your hair again.. but the beard is not the same.. Male pattern baldness is caused by dihydrotestosterone, but when it comes to the beard, dihydrotestosterone actually increases beard growth.. This is why you often hear balding males talk about how their hair moved from their scalp to their face.. So to sum it up: You wont experience beard loss like you can experience hair loss, when stopping the treatment, and if your genetics allow for it, minoxidil could help.
