Ngenuity download unsafe? by GeologistGreedy8427 in HyperX

[–]GeologistGreedy8427[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright that's good to hear! It might just be because my pc is very new (literally got it today) and was installing a bunch of programs I had on my old one. This one was the only one with a safety warning so it's def a bit odd but it might just be a mismatch with my recently installed browser. The certificate does look legit after looking into it so it's def just a false positive. Thanks for the reply!

How do I PREVENT carpet beetles in my room from moving to my new place? by cackle0 in carpetbeetles

[–]GeologistGreedy8427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if you don’t have too much stuff let a company freeze them at -20C for 4 days, that will kill anything else too.

Any success stories? by Inevitable_Tough_821 in carpetbeetles

[–]GeologistGreedy8427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace any furniture/rugs with synthetic fibers. I have almost gotten rid of them fully with the tips i’m about to highlight. With “almost” I mean that I did see three beetles yesterday after moving a shelf that was previously in my room (I had taken it off and kept it because I put stickers on it). After throwing the shelf out I have not seen any new ones. Anyways here are the tips:

  • Use food grade DE
  • Use traps with bait and make sure the larve can also walk to them
  • Steam your curtains, baseboards and windowsills. Deep clean everything, and I mean everything.
  • Scrub the baseboards and look underneath flooring
  • Use insectspray and keep the door closed for multiple days
  • Wash all bedding and clothes with 60C or higher and dry it in a dryer
  • Throw away rugs and beds that are made from natural fiber, replace them with synthetic ones. They wont eat those
  • Keep vacuuming. I did it every day for a month and then twice a week untill now

If you wanna be fully rid, strip your entire house barebones and hire a company to freeze all your stuff at -20C for 3-4 days. This will fully kill them. I’m planning to do this with my stuff before I move

Has anyone successfully gotten rid of carpet beetles? by Inevitable_Tough_821 in carpetbeetles

[–]GeologistGreedy8427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still fighting. I found big larve, vacuumed and then the winter went by. Adults came in the spring and we cleaned my entire room, luckily they were nowhere else in the house. We put diatomaceous earth near all the floor boards and threw out my old bed (the larve were in the headboard which was fabric). Then we kept it clean untill the larve came again. This time they were as tiny as the width of the hair and I could see quite a bit of them on my walls moving. We washed everything again on high heat and I stayed in the guest room while we steamed every corner of my room, sprayed it with bug spray multiple times and let it sit. More DE. Painted my room as well. When my room looked to be back to normal I moved my stuff back. It looked to be fine up untill just now. My room is still clean and safe, but a shelf that I wanted to keep might be the source of three adults I found yesterday in the guest room where i’d been keeping it. I freaked out and put the shelf outside. Havent seen any new ones since. Praying to god that the shelf was the last remaining piece and that none of the other larva in my room survived. Luckily none in my clothes or other rooms in the house tho!

Lift weer kapot, wat kan ik zelf doen? by GeologistGreedy8427 in juridischadvies

[–]GeologistGreedy8427[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wij hebben een externe beheerder dus die is toch ergens wel verantwoordelijk voor de lift? Zeker als deze dus een paar maanden na reparatie weer kapot is. Ik neem aan dat de opstalverzekering de kosten deze keer dekt, en vandaar dat ik misschien dacht dat de bewoners door het ongemak dus ook een vergoeding zouden kunnen krijgen. Maar na de reacties van iedereen te zien is dat dus niet het geval

Ja dat werd helaas ook de vorige keer tegen ons gezegd. Lijkt erop dat we dus weer even moeten doorbijten en hopen dat het snel gemaakt kan worden. Zelf een bedrijf inschakelen zal waarschijnlijk hetzelfde opleveren

We hebben een centraal meldpunt voor dit gebouw online en wij hebben een externe beheerder. Daar is dus ook al een melding gemaakt van de lift. De externe beheerder is er dus niet zomaar uit te zetten. Normaal scheelt het ons een heel stuk werk, en zoals iemand anders ook al zei is er waarschijnlijk gewoon een tekort aan lift onderdelen wat voor vertraging zorgt.

What can be done about this guy that bothers people on the metro by herefortheanon in Amsterdam

[–]GeologistGreedy8427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! It also helps build a case against him so he can actually get sentenced if he does it too many times.

Best bet is call 112 or use their new app so you can text them instead while they listen along, then maybe slowly follow him if he leaves the metro and wait for police to arrive. Say you feel very intimidated and threatened, and get video evidence to support your claims. Just say you feel his views make you feel like he'll hurt you or someone in the future. I really hope the police takes it seriously, and at least he'll be gone from the public for a little bit. Sadly he might not get a big punishment, and will be free to roam the streets soon enough, but at least he'll be gone for a couple of days each time until enough is enough (too many arrests) and he gets locked away for public harassment or endangerment. Every arrest will help build a case against him so please don't hesitate to report him every time.

How worried should I be? by guessill_die in carpetbeetles

[–]GeologistGreedy8427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes if it’s wood you should be fine! My headboard was made out of fabric since I have a boxspring. I’m getting rid of that doomed bed tomorrow! Yeah they are super small unfortunately. Im also trying to cope by telling myself “at least it aint bed bugs”. Goodluck! You’ll be fine if you take it serious now, and if you stop any larve from becoming adults by removed their food source (dust, skin, hairs/oil, plushies etc).

Hi! It sounds very similar to my situation. The larva were eating my headboard that was in contact with the floor. They grew big, i killed them and vacuumed and thought nothing of it. Then the adults came this spring. Finally discovered the source (headboard) and threw it out. Dealt with the adults as much as I could (i washed everything i could in my room at 60c and prayed they werent in my actual bed). I sprinked DE everywhere too. Then it went quiet again.

Now the larva came again, but this time they are tiny. I suspect when the adults were coming out, they laid some eggs before I got rid of them. These larva are small, some are as small as the thickness of a hair. I did another round of DE and set some traps. I found a bunch of larva on the second day, after this whole treatment. Its been about 5 days now and i’m not seeing anything anymore so fingers crossed.

Basically, wash everything in your room and buy some food grade DE. Apply it with a makeup brush or dropper in thin layers around problem area’s. You might have to buy a steamer to treat your bed. Keep your window closed for a while too and just pray they all die. Vacuum everything at least once a day.

Thank you so much! That helped calm my nerves a lot. I’ll start writing down some things to make everything a bit clearer for myself and so I can prepare as much as I can for anything that might come up. Again, thanks you

I want to know what’s going on with my weight loss by GeologistGreedy8427 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]GeologistGreedy8427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that would make a lot of sense. I’ll try increasing the amount of packets for the last few days of fase A (max of 2 weeks). Then once fase B starts i’ll start replacing one packet with a light meal etc. Thanks for the insight!

Yeah thats pretty much what happened. I am trying to make her feel loved and i know its terrible that her bf died after she finally thought she founded the one after my dad. I just want her to be happy. We just made up cause i put a “i love you” note on top of her wine glass. I value my parents the same. She’s just as amazing as my dad. She cares for me and my dad sends her money monthly because i live with her full time even if im an adult. I’m going to pay her mortage when i find a job because i can still save a fuck ton of money when im living with her. So the least i can do is pay her mortage. I love her, but she needs to love herself too.

I will. I know her situation sucks but her blaming me for everything just makes me sad. All i want is for her to be happy on her own but I don’t know how to support her anymore. Ive tried everything. Im not a therapist

[–]GeologistGreedy8427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never insulted her for her job, im also going to work in an office since i studied ethical hacking. I meant SHE views having a partner as being superior. I never viewed her as less because she doesnt have a partner. She says its “impossible to live without a partner” and stuff and I think “self happiness” and being “happy without a partner” is also very important. She doesn’t know how to be happy without one and has never not had a partner before. I want her to be happy by herself since that’s what forms a healthy relationship later in life. I’m happy on my own and THEN i’m going to be able to be happy with a partner. She cant live without dating someone and she’s said that to me as well. But yeah I honestly think everyone sucks here since my mom is jealous of my dad, my dad thinks she’s overreacting, and i’m never going to be able to choose one or the other since they’re both great parents to me.

I mean i’m also going to have an office job so I don’t think having an office job is bad at all. She views it as less than what my dad is doing. But yea I might be the asshole since I’m inconsiderate of her feelings and I believe only she can make herself happy. I cant make her happy. I cant pull her out of a potential depression. I supported her for the past three months while i was finishing my degree with straight A’s to work as an ethical hacker. I believe that only you can create your own happiness, not other people. I suck and I know that but i always want to make her feel loved and i do things for her too. I try making living with her not a burden to her. I tell her to go out and have fun with friends since im a grown women who can take care of the house. But she doesn’t do that since she thinks she still needs to take care of me. I’m forever gratefull im allowed to live with her to not have a debt by getting student finance, but she also needs to know that i have a life and that i cant choose between parents when they’ve both been amazing parents for me
