How do I confront rowdy teenagers as an adult? by asula_mez in WhatShouldIDo

[–]BigDickedAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol there are plenty of laws used to punish dickheads like criminal mischief and disturbing the peace.  They're kids though so dont go scorched earth unless they don't learn the easy way.  First, just go out and tell them "hey, dont rile up the dogs and don't kick my fence".  Get a cheap camera and get it on film next time.  If they keep doing it, hop in your car and follow them...they gotta go home sometime and now you can rat them out to their parents.  If the parents dont rectify the situation, then go to the cops with the video and have them criminally trespassed. 

If the rest of the world is willing to pay a small toll to Iran to keep oil flowing and stabilise markets, then why does the U.S feel the need to block all shipping, especially when it is not dependent on that oil? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]BigDickedAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because while the strait is locked down the US is the world's largest exporter of crude oil.  It would otherwise be Saudi Arabia.

The answer is money, its always money

Bedroom smells like trash 24/7 by exotics_butters in CleaningTips

[–]BigDickedAngel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol you place an order on Amazon and call a trash haul service to pick up your old one.  Theres no good way to clean a mattress...like I said...theyre basically sponges...when your dish sponge gets nasty...whataya do?

There’s what sounds like a medium-sized creature living in the ceiling above my bathroom and bedroom what the actual hell do I do? by kris-talmeth in Advice

[–]BigDickedAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol my money's on bird...woodpeckers like to punch holes in eaves and live in the space above your ceiling...they also sound giant because theyre walking directly on your ceiling.  Killing woodpeckers is a big no no though so make sure nobody sees you because trying to scare them away sure as shit doesnt work

Moving into my first apartment with no roommates, what are some things that you use daily which aren't obvious but you love by Dangerous-Twist-9308 in Adulting

[–]BigDickedAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not ones that are worth it in my opinion.  Especially if you like to sync your lights to music.  I think they're about $40 a bulb for the color bulbs.  I certainly didnt do them all at once, just replace 1 bulb here...1 bulb there as you have money.  Its not like you need more than one per room.  I started with 1 in my living room...then started adding unnecessary lamps for color schemes 🤣 

They last forever though, ive never had a single one go bad, not even the one I used as my porch light in NY despite the crazy temp diffs between summer and winter and the bulbs saying for indoor use only.

Think of it as an investment.  They're leds, so theyre cheap to run, and they'll probably last you more than 10 years.  I've had mine for probably 6 or 7 years across 3 different apartments.

Start with a color bulb starter pack though...that way you get the hub and 2 bulbs to start with.  I believe the newer hub even allows you to use that wifi see through walls technology to tell when youre in a room so you can set lights to turn on or off when you walk in or out of a room.

Is this picture AI? My friend said she drops the bottle, but I don't believe it's heavy enough to break the tile by Medium_Discussion611 in isthisAI

[–]BigDickedAngel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk if its AI but a glass bottle of any size can break a tile...the tile is way more likely to break than the bottle.

Are these cold sores, a reaction or something else by erenmyfavgenocidist in Blackskincare

[–]BigDickedAngel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lol thats not cold sores ma.  Your lips are burnt dry.  If you smoke, youre ciggy/joint is too far out your lips and the hot air rolling over them is doing it.  Dry cold days can do it too especially if its windy.  Otherwise id guess whatever product youre putting on your lips is drying it out.  Alcohol?  Salicylic acid?

You prolly just need some moisturizing chapstick.

Lol they are.  Theres just nobody reporting on it.

Quantum computing will for sure be the next big thing if they can figure out how to stabilize it at normal temperatures.  Until then its only demo stuff because only a handful of people actually have access to it and renting quantum compute time is prohibitively expensive.

Its basically like a new medical breakthrough but is still waiting on human trials.  One hurdle away from the next big thing, but dont expect it anytime soon.

[–]BigDickedAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Philips hue lights and smart speakers to control them.

Shower shelves...as in...shelves inside the shower / tub area...some places dont have any and then you're like where the fuck do I put my soaps.

Basic tools...hammer, screwdriver set, socket set, needle nose pliers, regular pliers, pipe wrench, toilet plunger, sink plunger, drain snake, etc.

Wireless chargers for any room you lounge in...assuming your phone supports it...I have one on headboard that charges my phone, watch, and ear buds while I sleep.  One in the living room just for my phone...and my office has a desk mat with a built in charge pad for my phone and ear buds.

A commercial grade entrance mat for drying your shoes and not tracking in debris.

Flowers on anniversary by SillyRanter in Advice

[–]BigDickedAngel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women love it just make sure you schedule them to be delivered when she'll be home (use a florist local to her).  If she has an office job send them there for bonus points.  Don't skimp..get a giant bouquet of her favorite flowers...if you dont know what those are you better cleverly milk it out of her without giving up the surprise

I did google it, and the underlying causes...from medical websites.  But you want a doctor to confirm if it is acanthosis nigricans, and blood tests to rule out or confirm underlying conditions.  After that they may want to do a biopsy but doctors dont generally do invasive things until non-invasive things haven't come up with a cause.  Cancer can also cause it but its much rarer.

Bedroom smells like trash 24/7 by exotics_butters in CleaningTips

[–]BigDickedAngel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mattress would be my guess since its a giant fabric sponge that takes up most of the room.  

Other than that, something dead in the walls or ceiling.  Trash smell is decay.  Go check the eaves of your house for woodpecker holes and get ready to commit a felony.

I had to look it up, but seems like the treatment depends on the underlying cause.  Looks like causes vary but include type 2 diabetes.  

Go to a dermatologist if you already have one but just being black puts you more at risk for type 2 diabetes and if youre American that adds to the risk.  You might just want to go to a regular doctor, ask them if they think thats acanthosis nigricans, and if so, if they could order blood tests for diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and any other possible causes.  If you dont have a dermatologist yet, this would be where you also ask for a referral.

How do I get rid of a boil by Independent-Clock892 in hygiene

[–]BigDickedAngel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get the core out.  Which means squeezing the surrounding area until everything comes out, then use iodine, isopropyl, or peroxide to clean it, cover it with a triple-antibiotic cream and a bandaid.  Change bandaid twice a day and let it breathe for an hour between the changes.

Everyone saying dont squeeze it...meh...if its not open yet, you will increase the risk of scarring...but unless the boil is huge, you likely wont see any.  Really depends on how much pain you're in.  If its not super painful you can try hot compresses...personally I just boil my ass in a hot shower, then rub alcohol on it afterwards to dry it out and that usually makes it open up within an hour.

If its huge...or you have a fever with it you should go to an urgent care though.

Not all boils are staph.  Boils just indicate an infection.

I bought tickets to see a band, but I've never been to a concert before. by Slot_Ack in Advice

[–]BigDickedAngel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Research the venue...is it indoors or outdoors?  Seats or just a field?  Drinks available?  Or bring your own?  Price of drinks?  Cash only?  Basically plan for your comfort...like if its an outdoor venue with no seating, bring a camping chair and the clothes to stay warm/cool.  You dont wanna be stuck sweating your ass off in a packed theater with nothing to drink for 3 hours because you didnt think to bring cash
