  • Internet advice can only get you so far.

    Being the best for that guy will be different for others.

    But in general, communicate, never expect him to read your mind. Dropping hints and mind games generally end badly, guys are pretty much oblivious to that stuff. Men can begin to loath anniversary and birthdays because of shit like “I left the picture of the model wearing this sunhat on the fridge hopping you get me one, I didn’t want the ugly sundress!!!” just ask for the hat.

    Appreciate him, and make sure he knows it. Seriously, saying thank you goes a long way. Even if something’s not exactly how you’d planned, if an effort was made, acknowledge it without the “but you should have…” or fixing it right after. Either show them the first time or the the next time, but never right after. Imagine struggling to fold sheets for an hour and immediately getting told they’re too bunched up or they don’t fit perfectly in the closet - you’ll never want to do them again.

    Never go to bed angry at each other. Disagreements are natural, the key is both of you should feel like winners at the end of it. Sometimes you’ll get your way, and sometimes he’ll get his way, and that’s okay.

    You’re two individuals, presumably attracted to each other as you are now, if you become “one person” that’s boring. Adapting to each others life style is expected, but you shouldn’t fundamentally change. Never lose who you are.






  • (and I’m not just saying that because that’s what a meth dealer would say)

    Hmm sound like something a meth dealer would say

    And yeah android does have a lockdown button, if you press and hold the power button, its in the options.

    Alternatively you can quickly spam the wrong finger over the sensor a few times until it requires the pass code, which will work for iOS too.

    Edit: after a quick test the “wrong finger” method has a a fatal flaw. After using the wrong finger a few times, the pass code UI appears. If you back out of it you can still use finger unlock. You have to get to the code UI and back out 2-3 times before it says too many failed attempts and forces you to use the pin.





  • If your on Android;

    Amdroid is the best alarm app I’m aware of. (Called “Alarm clock for heavy sleepers” on play store)

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amdroidalarmclock.amdroid

    (Best few bucks Ive spent on an app, ad version just has ads in ui, nothing crazy) It has a feature where 5 min after you dismiss the alarm, it’ll send a notification asking if your awake. If you don’t respond after a while, the alarm goes again. (Times adjustable)

    Sorry I’ve typed more than intended too, I’ll put most under a spoiler so its not a wall of text…

    wall of text

    It also manages alarms setting as profiles, set up a few types of alarms once and when setting new alarms you only have to set a time and pick a profile.

    Tons of different options; You can make them location or calendar dependent, make dismissing them require a certain light level or WiFi signal strength (go turn on a light or stand next to router in other room). You can make your self do some math or captcha to dismiss alarm (I have mine set to require a simple captcha when deleting,). You can make snooze duration get incrementally less, so maybe 10min, then 8, then 6 and so on…

    Got a day off or need to wake up early one day, well you can skip or change the time for just the next time the alarm is supposed to go off, then it goes back to normal.



  • Keepassdx is sadly not on ios.

    The only good one I’ve found is called strongbox. Free version works fine, but the pro version prices are insanity for something that is free everywhere else. I could get behind a lifetime buy of $10, but for $99 hell no. (Monthly sub is $3 or $25/year).

    Looking at the app store now, most of the keepass apps have some form of in app purchace.

    Only truly free one is call keepass touch, but frankly when I tired it, it sucked.
