Up until now, everythings been normal, but just recently I've found that if I take any kind of Aspirin / Paracetamol tablet with Caffeine in it, I get rediculously horny, to an awkward level. I'm assuming its the Caffeine rather than the other stuff, but does anyone know why this is the case all of a sudden? I get headaches pretty much every day, and while I dont take this stuff that often am concerned I probably shouldn't going forward. Is this normal / some kind of reaction? I consulted google but cant find any convincing consensus.

Nah, I'm a dude. It's not really like its a problem, its just weird how mega intense it is, especially for something just over the counter, and how it only started being the case recently. Also, it happens within minutes, possibly seconds of taking it? I didn't think it was possible for something to be so fast acting, certainly the painkilling aspect doesn't kick in for a good while.

There's like a forums meme of saying: "You loving idiot. You moron." and like, maybe more vitriolic stuff, but always the idiot / moron combo, and it's usually when someone's made a really innocent mistake, and it makes me laugh every time. I was just wondering if it was from anything or codified in any way, or just another SA thing.

When I'm on the menu for hero's of the storm looking at different champions / skins, a quiet high pitched noise comes out of the inside of my computer, that sounds kinda like a fan oscillating at a particular speed, just a constant light 'fizz'. When you click on a different skin, it briefly pauses while the skins load, and then returns at a slightly different pitch. It sounds for all the world like it's just the fans on my graphics card spinning at slightly different speeds, but the only time they're audible is on this one menu? My pc is beefy and hots isn't pushing it at all, anyone know what the deal is?

My shower has two taps, one for on / power, and the other for heat. With the heat tap turned all the way down, its kinda warm. It's like, the temperature I normally take a shower at. This is fine and all, because it just means I leave it turned right down, but if I'm doing something like using my shower to clean some boots and dont want to waste hot water, or like at the moment its really hot and I want a cold shower, I cant. I heard that there was some way you could change the heat of water coming out of a boiler to a shower, might it be that something on my boiler is set to 'hot'? I'm in England, and have an immersion heater, if that changes anything? Thanks!

I have just had the termostats both replaced though (well, both immersions actually) and the heat coming out of the shower is still the same, would the plumber have just set it to what was already there? I did think though, the tap in the bathroom sink is a mixer, and is fine, it's only the shower?

I'd also add, we had luck in the past using peppermint oil to ward off mice. We used so much that it pretty much warded us off, but supposedly they're really sensitive to it, and if that's the case any mouse within ten feet of that room would have had a brain aneurysm. I don't think it will get rid of them at all, but it stopped them coming in our bedroom at least.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:How do I recover from wrist pain due to computer work? Ok so, first thing to note is that used correctly, over a long enough time, computer peripherals will give you carpal tunnel. All of them. It's super important to be aware and do what you can to mitigate it. Take regular rests, and do exercises. Google carpal tunnel exercises. You can't 'un-gently caress' your wrist once it's hosed, so really really don't get it hosed up in the first place, would be my shout.

On Thursday, I bought something on Ebay, that said guaranteed delivery next day. I chose that one because of the next day delivery. I'd just moved house, and had forgotten to update my address, which I only realised an hour later. I messaged the sender, but it was too late. He'd already sent it. (Which made sense to me since how else could it get there the next day?). So I phoned UPS and asked them to change the delivery address, which they said they could do, and was fine, and had all gone through. It didn't arrive the next day. It did say it was subject to delays, fine. Monday rolls around, and a delivery attempt is made at the old address. I didn't get a chance to call them monday, so I called them Tuesday, and they said "Oh yeah, the depot didn't confirm it, I'll change it again now". Meanwhile the package is out for delivery and another attempt at the old house. I trekked on back to the old place to pick up the 'Sorry we missed you' notes, to get the InfoNotice number so that I could redirect via the websit, or at least set a delivery window so I could be at the old place to collect it? It didn't work. Now, wednesday, I can see that once again it's headed to the old place, but since I'm working, I can't just go and wait there all day. Do I have any recourse? I really dont want to pay shipping again.

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:I have a slightly weird question. How do I eat? I did intermittent fasting a while ago, where on fast days you eat 600 calories. I wouldn't recommend it based on my experience (After 6 months, my weight would fluctuate 2 stone in a week up or down seemingly at random, and I started feeling vomity in the morning every day) but it did show me that there are meals out there that keep you below, and the one that I found to be the best was low calorie soups, because you actually feel like you've eaten something, so maybe look into that? The other thing I found was just that fruit is really good. For specifically low calorie, grapes are good, you can freeze them, and then suck on them as a snack, and they take a while to eat. But there's something about the fibre, and the fact that they have a lot of water in them, makes fruit especially good. Plus, y'know, it's fruit, it's lush. I think honestly, the biggest hurdle, is just making it a habit. I mean, I'm fuckin' huge again and need to lose weight, but losing weight for my wedding I was doing 20 extra push ups and sit ups every day for months. I did hit the gym as well, but that sometimes didn't happen for whatever reason, work or whatever getting in the way. But the 20 situps and pressups, I'd FORCE MYSELF to do, every day, rain or shine, bloated or achey, no matter what. It didn't take that long for it to be a habit where I didn't even think about it, it met zero resistance in my mind, and most days I'd do a few extra. I think whatever you decide to do, you know, you'll see on paper "This will make me lose weight" and then the hard part is just forcing yourself to commit to that fully. Good luck!

Whats the deal with Soap? Like, chemically, what's going on there? How does it make things clean? It's not just physically abrading the 'dirt' away, it's doing some like, ionic bond thing, right? So, what is soap good for? It kills Coronavirus, does it kill virii in general? Bacteria? And then, what's bleach? Why would you need both? Why do we use bleach in toilets and not soap? What is bleach doing chemically, compared to soap? What is disinfectant spray, and why is there that as well? I've Googled this somewhat, but not found like a good ELI5 answer, or anything really explaining why we have different things.

If I'm travelling to Germany, from the UK, what do I need to do re: Covid, for going there and coming back? The government website seems to just keep referring me on to other pages about general info, but I'm finding it hard to actually nail down what exactly I have to do? /Edit: It seems like, just having the NHS App with my test details is fine for getting in, and also to going to restaurants? Coming home actually seems like the hard one, where I have to book a test 48 hours before I travel, and then fill out a form saying I've booked a test? Is that everything? !Klams fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Oct 8, 2021 |

I hate cups as a measurement. It felt pretty emotive, so I've always been very live and let live about it, but the other day I poured some treacle from my measuring jug into the bowl. I knew how much I'd put in initially, in cups, but realised only after pouring a bit in, that it was the wrong amount initially. So at this point, how do I adjust how much I add further? I knew how much extra I'd put in initially, and l knew what it should be, but my measuring jug was a loving mess, who knew what volume it now held? If seems like a measuring method that only has downsides. Is there a reason is actually not horrible?

I've sort of accidentally gone onto a one meal a day diet, and I'm finding it motivating, enlivening and just generally working for me, which is super weird because 5/2 intermittent fasting fuckin sucked. Generally, Internet wisdom seems to be that its a decent thing to do, and that it's good for you, but I'm concerned I've gone into this without any real thought or plan. Like, yeah, calories down, lose weight, but is there anything I should be considering but haven't?

One of my feet flops at a more obtuse angle than the other, which is because of a slight (it's otherwise imperceptible) twist in my spine, that causes a muscle to trap a vein in my neck that gives me headaches most days. I only mention it in case anyone else has anything similar and it might help to know.

kalel posted:yes the British pronunciation of ma'am sounds like Mom to the English ear. and In Skyfall specifically I think they're playing with that ambiguity on purpose ...really?! Sorry, to drag this up I just think it's fascinating, and it's clearly one of those things where for me it's a total blind spot. By which I mean, it has always been utterly transparent to me when someone is saying ma'am or mum to my English ear, and the idea that they'd be playing up the ambiguity seems like you're looking for something that isn't there, but! You know, my experience isn't the de facto truth. I guess rather than dragging it up here where it's pretty much done and dusted, I should go find it elsewhere.

I bumped my head on the ceiling three days ago, and I still have a really mild headache. I get headaches all the time, but this is clearly from that. How bad is this? Everything online seems to basically say "yeah, you can get that after a concussion", so I guess I was concussed, but like, I can't really tell if that's actually always definitely super bad, or if it's just like, you know, 'take it a bit easy'?

You're probably fine, try not to hit your head on anything else in the mean time, repeated concussions are a lot worse than a single one, especially within a shorter period of time. OK, amazing, thanks, this was my assumption, but couldn't find anything that wasn't super alarmist. I'll try my darndest not to headbutt the low ceiling again.

My wife has a work laptop, that she uses when she's working from home, open, next to her monitor. She takes it into the office 2 or 3 times a week, so has to disconnect it often. She also has a gaming laptop, that's also in use quite a lot. At the moment she has a KVM to switch between the two. The issue is, that there's not really a lot of space on her desk, and the kvm wires are kind of all over the place. When she switches between the two laptops, she wants to use the screen, so currently she's putting one on top of the other, which isn't ideal. When she wants to unplug one, she has to be careful not to let the usb cables slide down the back of the desk, but sticking the usb cable in place isn't really very easy, because of the aforementioned shuffling that happens all the time, so there needs to be flex. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good solution for this? In my head I'm imagining like some kind of double lectern, or like a docking station or something, or, maybe a wireless KVM switch where you have dongles instead of wires? Does that exist?

Tiggum posted:When you say "the screen", do you mean a standalone monitor connected to the KVM or the laptop screen? If she's using the laptops' own screens then she's going to need to shuffle the laptops around every time she wants to switch them regardless of what else she does, because she'll want the screen she's using to be in front of her. Yeah, sorry it's kind of hard to describe the setup, what I mean is, she has a monitor, that she always wants to use, then she also always wants to use the laptop screen of whichever laptop she's using, which means they need to open, so she can't really just have one under the other. That thing with the clips is a great idea, and yeah I'll definitely do some of that. I can't quite use that setup since the desk has a back to it (so I couldn't clip on) but yeah, that's solid, thanks! hooah posted:This may or may not be viable for your wife's setup, but I stuck my KVM to the underside of my desk with adhesive, so it and all the cords are out of the way. This is actually a really solid idea! I'll have a look into whether I can do this in a sensible way. KVMs always annoy me, because they're always like, a front and a back, and what I want is side to side. ANYWAY. ideally there would be some double shelf thing, like, a plinth with a laptop on top, that has room for usb connectors in from the sides, and then below it like a little shelf for a closed laptop, also with room on the sides for cables?

My and my mate used to play in a band together (him guitar, me bass) and we'd go to like, local recording studios to record stuff. We were thinking about playing together again. I've got a Korg Electribe drum machine, and wanted to mess about with some electronica stuff, which back in the day would have been garage band? I guess my question is, what would we need to get for me to be able to record us and mess about with it in some production / mastering tool on my laptop? Are there budget options for that sort of thing? I'm not 'money no object' but I just got a decent Christmas bonus that might cover some kit. It may well not. Appreciate this is incredibly spurious, any and all tips welcome.

Alright, wont worry about mastering, that's good, just wasn't really sure since it was all equally alien to me 25 odd years ago when we did this last, lol. BonHair posted:The floor for recording stuff is extremely low these days. You want a hardware interface and a decent computer, but the first isn't expensive, and you probably already have the computer. The thing that eats computer power is adding effects live, so if you just use the line out from your amps, you're not gonna need much. Ok, yeah, cool. I've got a good gaming laptop that I figure should handle this sort of stuff pretty well.

We needed to move out a bit early, so we agreed to pay until they found a replacement and the finding fees to make it less painful for her. We moved out and her husband took over and he decided we had to pay all of our deposit as well, to fix the carpets and curtains that were described on the exit survey as "As on arrival". He also claimed we had to pay for the flea exterminators they brought in 3 weeks after we left (And after they'd had a viewing by someone with a dog). Needless to say we are in a dispute with the deposit company, but... man. Don't give any landlord an inch, for any reason, ever.

Is there a really dumb template web template site that would let me knock this up quick? /edit: Oh, yeah, the whole deal is it's more for mobile than PC?
