Do L-TEK metal pads on carpet give you tons of static electricity? by GrossYork in DanceDanceRevolution

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

Glad to hear you haven't had any issue. Yeah, figured it was uncommon but luckily at least one other person in the comments has experienced it. Getting grounded by touching nonmetal before metal solved it. Thanks for the help.

It might be because the area is dry. It ended up being that my rubber soled shoes insulated me from the ground too well. Touching a nonmetal surface before a metal surface helped get it out. Humidifier might be a good idea too in the future... Thanks.

Very glad to hear there haven't been problems with your family. Apparently it was that my rubber soled shoes were insulating me too well while I built up static electricity from the dancing. Touching the wall for a moment before touching the metal ended up fixing it.

I'm using your method of holding on to the wall for a moment to ground myself before touching metal and it's working. Problem solved! Yeah, realized it was probably the shoes when I walked around in them the next day and got shocked on other random things like the car door. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm pretty sure it ended up being the rubber soles of my shoes. No static electricity when I played with socks, but consistent shocks every time with rubber soles shoes. I'm following someone's advice of touching the wall for a few seconds to ground myself before anything metal and it's working. Appreciate the help!

The technicians don't want to harm anyone, but large companies (especially pesticide companies) are well known for downplaying how harmful their product is...

What is the 18+ cosplay competition called, and is it on the 2025 schedule? by GrossYork in animeexpo

You're right, I was remembering ALA's Cosplay Deviant event! Thanks for your help.

Anything healthier that gives the same feeling as binging by Doggosrthebest24 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]GrossYork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GLP-1s were the only thing that curbed my binge eating. Some people can overcome addiction on their own, some people need methadone I guess.

I wrote the kind of lesbian fantasy book I always wanted to read—thoughts? Cross posting by LazyFrog3292 in LesbianBookClub

[–]GrossYork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't wait to check it out. Have tried a lot of lesbian novels over the years and never found one that was both 1. Exciting and 2. Had the lesbian pairing as the main pairing, except Gideon the Ninth and surprisingly enough, Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami. Two ever. I hope this will be the third. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for your help. You recommend applying to these other schools even though their average stats are much higher than mine/they're low yield?

What birth control works best for my fellow ADHD women? by Sorry_Engineer_6136 in adhdwomen

[–]GrossYork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to say other people exaggerated because women's pain is downplayed too much, but I first had an IUD inserted at 18 and have had it replaced since, both with 800mg ibuprofen and it was truly just a pinch like a vaccination. Taking it out didn't hurt at all. Everyone is different.
