Student loan servicers make banks look good.

And banks are generally evil. But at least they can follow an amortization schedule.

Oops my bad, thanks. I updated my comment to remove the misinformation.

The most harrowing fact that I know is that during the Apollo 11 mission, as they began to enter the moon's orbit and headed behind it, they were no longer able to communicate with earth. This is indicated on the flight plan* by the note "Broken trajectory lines indicate loss of earth communications." So here's the crew, impossibly far from everything any human has ever known, for about an hour unable to hear (or most of that time even see) any sign of the only experience humanity has ever known. It's just them sandwiched between an unfamiliar moon and the blackness of space.

I recently moved to a place with well water and figuring out how to get the dishes clean was a whole thing. For awhile I was sure we were gonna need a new dishwasher. There were wads of paper in various places in the machine, I'm guessing the previous owners didn't bother taking labels off before washing them, but that's not the point here. What ultimately worked for the mineral film was citric acid. There are citric acid dishwashing products, but you don't need to spend a ton of money, it's a common food additive and you can buy it super cheap. I got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000OZFECU?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I just throw a spoonful in with the detergent once in awhile and the glasses come out sparkling!

To explain my experience, I need this picture, but with a pirate carrying a copy of him.

Nearly everything, TBH. You just gotta decide which things are important to you. Like, do you do a lot of working on cars? Spend some good money on tools - totally worth it. Tinker with something once every couple of years? Cheaper tools will get the job done, and maybe last several years at that rate.

This is true of your blender too, honestly. I don't blend stuff often and don't really care, a cheap blender is fine for me. Anyone who likes blended stuff and uses it often? Totally worth getting something really good.

I couldn't either until I saw the explanation, and also scrolled to where like 1/3rd of the pic was off the screen.

Maybe it's that restricting current would be more of an inductance thing than a resistance thing? Like Amp should be pushing the walls wider while Ohm tries to hold Volt back?

Man, I can relate, I was in a bad way when I was 24. I was very lonely and dangerously far down the incel path (though nobody called it that then) before I snapped out of it.

What I wish I had understood then is just how vast the bredth of human experience is. It may be hard to imagine right now given experiences you've had, but there are a lot of women who would be into you if given the chance. I know this is true because women are people. Quite a few of them are into men, of those quite a few are available and also yearning for a connection, and of those quite a few still are into some of your interests and particularly like various traits that describe you.

Rejection can be hard, but it only means it's not just right just now for just her, not that there's anything wrong with you.
