  • Forgiveness doesn’t mean you keep interacting with them or keep up any relationship. Forgive, not forget. Forgive, not give them the opportunity to repeat the harm.

    People say you forgive for yourself in order to move on. Personally it has never really clicked for me, how to forgive someone who hasn’t asked it or changed.

    The thing that helps me let go and move on is understanding and acceptance. Understanding why they are the way that they are, or accepting that I may never know. Accepting that they are not the person I thought or hoped or wanted, and understanding how they actually are based on their behaviour.

    Forgiveness may come much later, once you are safe and able to process with some distance, but only if it would benefit you. No point in forgiving someone who keeps hurting you.

    I just pretend I need to get off at the next stop and make sure to get up when they’re looking so they can grab my seat. Then just walk to the other end of the cart, or to the door and look at the map only to then “realise” that this is not my stop after all and remain happily standing.


  • This comment section really shows how important it is to specify your location when asking for advice.

    Airing out radiators is like the simplest task one can do where I’m from. One flat heat screwdriver and a rag for the dripping, and you’re done faster than you can even call a landlord or repair firm. No crazy steam contraptions.

    So you’re either calling for an expensive and time wasting repair unnecessarily or catching a faceful of scalding steam, if you take advice from the wrong part of the world…








  • That’s like the second most wasteful way of washing dishes, with the most wasteful being the same thing but not turning the tap off while scrubbing.

    Well, presuming you have enough wares for a full wash. Filling the sink for just one plate would be unnecessary…

    You can plug the sink and wash with your current tap method and see how many dishes it takes to fill the sink with water - that’s how many you need to collect to save water with the sink method.

    You can set it to update location every minute, hour, ten seconds etc. Then just check the app for last known location. I have excellent telecom coverage where I live, and it can ping for wifi networks as well as gps, so I have personally never lost signal as long as it’s charged.

    The frequent charging might be the biggest downside for tracking a bike, for my pet I can just do it every night when they stay indoors and don’t need it.


  • Some cats are just like that, they have very strong boundaries and some don’t consider anything worth going outside their comfort zones. Others can be trained, if you figure out their favourite treat and the right time to train. But sitting in the same room and blinking at each other now and then is a also a good enough show of intimacy in their language.

    My pet tracker can be set up to only send location when asked for it. It uses a SIM card (pre paid), plus you can call it to listen to the surroundings or have it blink or make noise through the app.

    The app requires the phone numbers of the people who are allowed to query the tracker.

    I don’t know what trackers are available in your country. I found several who had subscription-type deals to have the tracking actually work. I hate subscriptions, so will always choose to pay more upfront to control my usage and cost. It’s a lot more expensive than any sort of air tag.

    With the one I have I can delete the app after setup and only text the number to get gps-coordinates when I wish, but the app works great for my needs.

    It also triangulates with WiFi etc to give a more accurate reading. All such settings can be changed in the app.

    Can’t speak for privacy aside from it can be set up to only send info when queried and only to preselected numbers. Kinda depends what you mean by privacy respecting.

    It does need to charge (varies greatly depending on weather, queries, settings etc) often.
