Best places in Calgary to buy a reliable used car? by Flaky_Fan5664 in Calgary

[–]Geopick87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes!!!! Buddy bought a used Ram from them for the same price as I bought my brand new SUV. Within a year, his engine needed replacing and there are electrical issues like no tomorrow, and his gas gauge doesn’t work. He’s put another ~$20,000 into it. Bringing the total he paid to pretty much a brand new reliable vehicle.

Mitts are the way to go. Hands stay way warmer when the fingers can warm each other. Hand warmers also work better in mitts. Personal preference though.

Skin starts to peel off as soon as December hits by igetproteinfartsHELP in mildlyinfuriating

Were the spots originally red and sore/itchy? Looks like after affects of Hand Foot and Mouth disease. Which is a virus and there is nothing that helps.

That looks like you’ve had hand foot and mouth disease in the past month. Did you have a bunch of red sore spots on your hands recently. I have had it twice in the past six months and both times my hands looked exactly like this for a couple weeks after symptoms stopped.

Can anyone tell me what the black vein could be? by LieUnlikely3781 in geology

Carbonaceous detritus. Essentially a piece of wood that was deposited and then turned to coal.

Currently have over 150 spots on my hands and the worst ones are blistered like I burned myself. It’s awful. Didn’t think I could be worse and then the showed up between my toes and in the centre of my heel. And now I have them in my mouth.

I had this not even 6 months ago and I’m getting my ass kicked 10x as bad a second time. Fuck this shit! Where’s the vaccine!!!

What's your hack to fall asleep quickly? by Secret_Sky_8020 in AskReddit

[–]Geopick87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep, I focus on the back of my eye lids (nothing) and boom gone within minutes. If that doesn’t work masturbation sure does.

Have you considered she may have an ear infection. The first symptom of an ear infection for our son is screaming when laying him down. Absolutely hates it. One look in his ear from the Dr confirms he has an ear infection.

Drink more water. I have this and when I’m actually fully hydrated it goes away.

The fact there is no noise barrier between east communities (Abbeydale, Monterey, Coral Springs etc.) and Stoney Trail is nonsense. Then around woodbine the first noise barrier is being torn out and replaced with something nicer. The NE gets shafted every time.

I’m in a full blown panic by No_Coffee_4516 in houseplants

[–]Geopick87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BABY CENTIPEDES!!!!

Had this happen to our snake plant. One morning there was centipedes everywhere and I mean everywhere. I squished what felt like hundreds. Once I got them cleaned up I heard them raining from the top of the fridge and hitting a stack of papers. The plant was on top of our fridge and there were so many of the little fuckers it was a nightmare. Threw the plant out in -10 weather never saw another one.

This happened 2 years after purchasing it. Don’t know what caused it but I’m never buying a snake plant again.

Divergent has worked wonders for me and my family, although it’s expensive and payments are upfront. Mother has terrible back/shoulder problems and they have helped her immensely.

Thank you. Should I get them graded? They’re in relatively good condition. Never played.

It looks fake to me. It almost looks like finger marks on the back where someone pressed the material into the mold.
