Guys intimidated with this ballerina chick didn't ask her to dance after classes just hovering around her. I have first danced with some other OK chick and then with her. She didn't want to leave me for a long time. Dilated pupils - check, big loops earrings - check, nervous - check, followed to destination away from people - check. Me pulling the trigger - fail. That is 2nd time me not pulling the trigger this week. Next step kicking this lazy anxiety to curb.

Consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his book is something you'd like to add to your library.

After you've given the book a good read, try to make it a goal when talking to females you're interested in to exchange home phone numbers. If all she has in a mobile number accept it, but always ask if they've got a home phone number. The worst that they can do is say no to you, but the worst you can do is nothing at all.

@SSeuSS In the case of lug nuts, the conical seat of the nut against the conical holes in the wheel is the magic which prevents any forces or vibrations developed during even extreme use from applying any directional torquing force upon the nut. No matter what type or quantity of lubricant used, the lube itself can't cause properly torqued lug nuts or bolts to come loose, and can only help prevent seizing from infrequent removal and chemical or electrolytic effects, and stripping from frequent and careless power tool usage.

Regular nuts and bolts with a flat interface are the type subject to localized force concentration that can apply loosening torsional force from vibration or temperature cycling. These are the applications that may call for thread locker, which is sometimes used in conjunction with lock washers as well.

@destraht

I have seen few post before, I can' remember was it your post on occasion, but I assume yes.

Below I will not argue is the info true or not, but rather logic.

1. Ukrainians attacking near border villages in Russia

   • how believable this is, Russia so far used numerous excuses to continue war
   • to whatever end they have annihilated say 200k Russian men, more will die from lack of funds elsewhere, couple more in villages wouldn't make difference, hate for enemy needs to thrive
   • would attacking Russian villages with few men and killing several people create any political pressure to end war - joke. There was apparently few unusual accidents deep in Russia where factories were burning, could be accidental considering likely maintenance issues and more inexperienced people required to increase input

2. More Ukrainians die than Russians 10:1?

   • so number of weapons and shells sent to Ukr [that seriously depleted many countries reserves] kills less Russians than old and shrinking supplies of Russians
   • attacking side has less casualties, how many in modernish history has that happen in position war
3. 300 hundred important people die unprotected
   • so USA did not bring to Ukr anything to protect their own ass although they could literally bring nukes there and Ukr wouldn't be in good position to oppose

Is it all possible, yeah. I doubt it.

@SSeuSS Nope, correctly torqued lug nuts will not come loose unintentionally because of the lube, no matter what lubricant you put on them. They'll also never seize and twist the stud to breakage, nor wear down and strip the threads after repeated R&R even with aggressive use of an impact wrench, both of which I've had to deal with countless times when working with many sets of lug nuts every work day forever in a professional capacity.

Thread locking compound is absolutely NOT something you want to put on your wheel hardware! You're correct, it comes in different strengths, from blue which won't vibrate loose but can be disassembled using normal tools and removal force, up to red "permanent" locker which requires heating during disassembly and is for very specific use cases only. Brake caliper bolts are an application where mild thread locker is commonly factory applied, as the consequences of one of those coming out can be severe indeed. I've been driving when that happened, and the caliper pivoted out and caught on the wheel, causing it to stop turning instantly without warning. If I hadn't been going slowly at the time this would not have ended well at all.
