Emotional regulation?

So I messed up.

I got upset to the point where I told my partner I want to break up, when she asked if I mean it i double confirmed saying yes.

The thing is, I didn't mean it. I told her later, apologized, everything.

I have a lot of examples of me saying strong things during my emotions in general, not just my relationship. being literally consumed by them and allowing them to take control of who I am like a toddler. It feels absolutely pathetic, there's been a few situations where I told myself to "shut up" until my heartrate and breathing go down. But there's also times that I forgot and didn't do it.

I don't really remember a time where I was in an emotional state and I did something to my benefit, maybe very few.

Knowing that, there's also a lot of times that I just make a LOT of decisions during these moments, or say a lot of things.

What kind of therapist or something could I consult?

I also have ADHD, I'm not very knowledgeable about it but I did read it can make regulating emotions harder.

Would you have returned these?(brand new)

Not sure what to expect from **brand new"" power tools. But the crack in the rubber made me feel concerned and the impact looks slightly used.

Should I return these Makitas?

I don't know if I'm being a princess here and these are my first drills to own so I don't know.

I bought these from Home Depot but they seem slightly used/worn, the impact (left) also has a little bump on it from what it seems and also had the battery connected, which I'm not sure if it's normal. The trigger on it is also kind of worn so I'm suspecting it was used for a decent time, not just opened and returned.

Would you guys return them/ask for a switch?

Edit: the lil scar is on the bottom right of the impact (left tool)

How to fix?

Never touched drywall before. How do I fix this? Do I need a patch? Is the 3M patch plus primer enough for this?

Which rotary tool?

I'm starting to put a crafts room together and I'll be using hole saw, maybe some engraving and cutting thin boards of wood and stuff.

I thought of getting a Dremel at first but I don't think I'm gonna be doing as heavy use.

Which Ryobi rotary tool would you recommend? Can't go above 200$ (Canadian)

Is lead-free that bad?

I have some concerns about using leaded solder inside the house.

Is lead-free solder that bad to work with?

AC Infinity 4" for fume extraction?

Sorry if this isn't too related to the sub.

I'm trying to get an inline duct fan for fume extraction. The AC Infinity keeps popping up as a high quality choice, but at the same time I keep seeing people mostly use it for their cannabis growth and I didn't find much about it's fume extraction capabilities.

Does anyone have any idea how they perform as fume extraction for small DIY and soldering or resin fumes and such? Are 4" good enough?

First desoldering, the potentiometer.

I spend all afternoon trying to desolder this little shit.

Then I watched a 20 second YouTube short that didn't even require wick and did it first try. :')

(Canada)I want to make a Multi-shelves storing place above my desk but I'm clueless when it comes to drilling holes.

My Franklin Prosensor finds a stud, but my rare earth magnet barely feels any resistance in that area above my desk. Some other parts of the house are both very magnetic and the Franklin sensor confirms a stud, making me feel more comfortable with drilling there.

Considering the fact that it's right behind my washroom, I don't know if I should take the risk and drill there at all, i'm new to Canada and I'm also living in a rent so I'm not in the mood of drilling through something that I shouldn't.

What do I do? Can I ask the schematics of the apartment from management? Would they even have them? If they do do they show studs or wiring and pipes? I'm trying to go diagonally from any outlets when using my sensors things.

I'm trying to work on getting some wall installation going and getting some freestanding shelving in my storage room. Depending on ground space alone for storing things has become painful.

I'm being ignored by my supervisors about safety concerns.

I work at a plant, the station of which I work at within the building is at the corner of a room, with a workbench next to an emergency door..

The gap between the wall and my workbench is 1.5~ meters wide, which you have to walk through to get to the emergency/fire exit (of which we also use as a regular exit).

We have various materials for disposal during the day that require to be transferred outside that exit.

My problem is that the said material for disposal is being stored between that 1.5~ meters wide gap of the wall and my workbench. Making it a 0.5 meter gap instead, forcing us having to squeeze through if we want to get out, or wheel the workbench to the side (which is hard since the workbenches are put next to each other), and there's also slippery disposal material on the ground at that garbage pile which often ends up next to my workbench area where I walk to regularly and I slip on sometimes.

I'm not sure if I'm being a Karen. Its a flammable, slippery material, stored next to the emergency exit where I work at and walk around on daily. While we don't work with fire, we do work with acetone aswell.

People keep being lazy about us throwing out the material for disposal out multiple times a day. Even my team lead ignored me. Instead it piles up to become a mountain of trash.

Today some genius also blocked the emergency exit from the outside with a heavy object on wheels, and I couldn't push the door to get out.

Do I take it to HR? am I being too sensitive? I work with a few other people but I'm the only one brothered by these things.

How do I make rice flavourful?

I've been raw-doggin rice and even though I like the "healthier" idea behind it I'm kinda looking to mix it up with something, maybe some kind of sauce.

I tried bourbon rice once and I really liked it. I'm usually pairing rice with steak or chicken if I make it at home.

I have a rice cooker too

I've been looking for a while for good steel cannisters for long term storage of olive oil, I came across Sansone. They seem very legit and their prices fair.

Does anyone have any experience with them?

looking for something at this price, I thought of also waiting for a deal for prebuilts maybe but my friend tells me to see if I get a good price with parts.

No need for monitor or peripherals.

I'm tryna onebag my trip back home, it'll only be for 2 weeks and i still have a bunch of clothes at my parents home.

I'm tryna get a nice backpack for the trip, while i'll be fine going back home(6-7KG total) i will probably leave with a bunch of extra weight, and since its busy season they will almost definitely flag me on the way back. I'm just not sure how much wiggle room i have with the weight and dimensions.

I read about DMF recently and that a lot of companies use it for the backpacks. Do you pay attention to that before you make a purchase?

My dad's mom had a GIC of 17-18% rate. She saved over a few years and used her GIC alone to buy her other son an apartment.

People say these rates are one of the reasons my country went from blooming economically to collapsing. Decades upon decades of this (though there's more reasons) .

The bond interest rates later a few decades after were close to 30%.

Now we're in the shit off.

What about you?
