Sorry this is causing you so much stress, and I hope all this venting is helping...

You can control who you choose to spend time with. You can also learn to control how you feel about people/opinions that you don't care about. That parts harder.

You can't control your friends. You can't control your partner. You can ask your friend to stop spending time with your ex.

After that, it's on you and your partner how you move forward regardless of the friends answer.

If you need to vent, that's great, writing can be a good outlet for that.

    The fact that you posted about it means either:

    A) She's not lying about your past, and you're ashamed of it B) Her stories are lies and they are effecting your reputation with your friends C) A bit of both

    If it was basic couples stuff then it would be a non-issue to you and your friends, you wouldn't be posting about it.

    All I can say is, you've already talked to your partner about it. Your mutual friend doesn't believe it. You can ask your friends to stop hanging out with your ex. If my ex was telling mutual friends lies about me, I would.

    Or you can ignore it. The people you care about are the only opinions that matter.... As long as it's not impacting your career or causing law issues, then what's the actual problem?

    There's a yellow-yellow corner on that guy, which means his stickers got switched... No wonder he's an alcoholic, he's more than scrambled.... He's unsolvable

    In war, even a short lived advantage, is still an advantage.

    They didn't become solely reliant on it, they still use fiber drones and other lower bandwidth rf alternatives.

    They were smart in their application and have politicized the waiver starlink support very effectively.

    Overall I believe they've done a fantastic job adapting to their available options. Semper Gumby.

    I don't like how this article paints Lee as a fair oppositional voice. She leads a far-right religious based ideology group that argues it's "against indoctrination" while preaching church views. They are one of those conspiracy groups that's convinced schools are pushing kids into the LGBTQ community... Not that they may have already been a part of it from the beginning...

    They probably don't even see the irony.

    This time of year the sun tends to cause interference with my garage door blockage sensors.

    I've been manually closing my garage as a result, but finally took the time to "fix" it

    PVC threaded female end to slip on. Didn't glue it, but it's jammed on tight enough. Sensor still works fine when an actual object is in the path.
