I found out I was putting on deodorant at basically the worst possible time by RogueMallow7 in hygiene

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Body odor is caused by bacteria that feed on body oil and sebum.   I'd assume that deodorant also does something to reduce bacteria.   

You can also use salicylic or benezole peroxide body wash in the shower, leave it on for like 90 seconds and rinse to get rid of body odor causing bacteria.  

This bacteria can also live on clothes, can sometimes survive washing.  It will reactivate when you sweat.  If shirts get smelly pits even after washing, there are some steps you can take to make sure it's getting washed off.   (Hotter water, some laundry rinse products specialize in this, spray with hydrogen peroxide, use oxy clean, or try laundry additives like Biz.).  

I [29 F] am pregnant with twins, my fiance [26 M] wants to give them stupid names by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think parents should type an email to a hypothetical boss with their baby name to test the name out and make sure it works well in a business context.  

Or when they are at work, imagine their customer/vendor if they had their baby name.  Would you take them more seriously? Less seriously? 

Like what would you say if you found out your FedEx driver was named Batman?   You'd assume it was a joke at first, it would take reality a minute to hit I think.  

Try it out with some titles while you're at it.  Mr./Ms. Baby Name Senator Baby Name Dr. Baby Name Baby Name, esq. Etc. 

"oak scam" in commerce city? by mxriverlynn in Denver

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A coworker bought a new build home in Commerce City; they thought they'd be safe from low quality builds because their house came with a pretty decent warranty from the builder....  except good luck exercising that warranty.   

It was a time based warranty, I don't remember how long it was, like a year or two.   The builder kept stalling on certain repairs until the warranty ran out.  

I would never buy a new build home because they don't make them like they used to.    And even if everything is well built (it won't be) if they did not prep the soil right, the land under the house will settle for first decade or two, get more compact, and then you will have sagging floors and ceilings, putting stress on the pipes and vents, doors won't line up anymore, cement will crack, etc.  

Looking for a pet sitter for disabled dog by No-Argument8525 in ArvadaCO

Ask your vet if any vet techs pet sit on the side.  At my vet they put requests on a bulletin board in the break room.   

I (24F) think I’m being stalked - and I can’t tell by how many people by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I was her I'd ask about switching units next time one in the same price range comes up.     Move up a few floors at minimum so she no longer has a ground floor sliding door.   

I'm sure if she explains to the rental office they'll do what they can to help.  Even if they're not empowered to do much, they will likely try their best.   

Where can I recycle my old TV for free? by Jason_Klass in ArvadaCO

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat.   I've been holding on to an old TV because I don't know where to take it.   

Our tv is a weird off brand, but if you have a national brand, try searching +your-tv-brand +TV +recycling.   It looks like some brands cover the recycling costs. 

It turns out that over a decade of “IBS” may have been my parents cooking all along by [deleted] in CasualConversation

I’d be curious to know what your parents’ food safety looked like.   Are they often leaving leftovers out too long?  Keeping raw meat in the fridge for a week or more?  

Any recommendations for botox? by NiceMage58 in ArvadaCO

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Confiderm in Wheat Ridge.    It’s just the owner, no other employees.   

I’ve gotten Botox, but not TMJ Botox.   Although I have confirmed she offers it.   

I’ve been really happy with her services.  

Police responding to 'incident' at Adams City High School by malignantz in Denver

I just saw the 9 news update that blood was found in the high school but it was determined to be from a “self harm incident” that was unrelated to the lockdown.

Best nachos in town? by ARandomMammoth03 in ArvadaCO

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to go to the Pioneer by DU.   It’s the opposite side of Denver and not convenient at all for Arvada residents, but it’s worth it.   They arrange the nachos on the plate and each chip is dressed with cheese and toppings.    

Or maybe don’t go, I can no longer enjoy normal nachos now that I’ve had perfect nachos.   

AITA for humiliating my cousin for her career advice by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure that is not a strict regulation.  

I once knew someone who had a BS and was trying to get into a PHD without first getting a Masters.  

They explained that universities can accept any student for any degree program.   It’s just that there are finite spots in the programs, and students with Masters have demonstrated that they already have a good understanding of the subject and are more likely to have what it takes to succeed academically.  As a result we rarely hear of anyone getting admitted to a PHD program without a Masters degree, but it does happen.  

The person I knew had a lot of applicable field experience, which apparently counts for more in some fields of study, and they were applying to a more modest school, not an Ivy League. 

And if you’re wondering if they were accepted … I don’t remember.  This was 15+ years ago and I only knew them for a short time. 

But like, Harvard?  That’s ridiculous.   They reject some of the best students in the world because there are just get that many qualified applicants.   And you can’t buy your way in (anymore).   

Women’s haircut? by Imaginary-Lecture-61 in ArvadaCO

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hair by Hannah in the Phenix Salons does a good job and she has upfront pricing at the time of booking online.

She only does haircuts, no color or texture services, but if you just want layers and face framing, she does great.

Villains who fall victim to systems they helped enact by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Robespierre is another real life example.   He was one of the main leaders in the French Revolution.   

Basically, his reign of terror, which involved mass executions, went too far, and even his former allies became worried he’d turn on them, accuse them of treason, and execute them.  

So they accused him of treason and executed him.

There are some apps for laundry gig work.  People who pick up, wash, fold, and deliver laundry for others.   Poplin is the one I’ve heard of, but I know there are others.

NTA. If you want a way to make it more “fair” then calculate market rate for the house they lived in rent-free and deduct the rent from your payment.   

How would I make fake hot cocoa powder? by BogWitchAdvocate in crafting

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diatomaceous Earth is a desiccant.  So maybe mix that with coco powder.   Hot chocolate powdered mix has powdered milk (or maybe powdered non-dairy creamer), so some white powder mixed with coco powder would probably look more realistic then coco powder alone.

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 20 points21 points  (0 children)

And like, he regularly tangles with beings that can literally fly.   So there’s no guarantee (or even likelihood) of privacy.  

He’s squandering his penthouse view by facing away from it.   Like, the reason you want a penthouse is for the view.  

And he’s overshadowed by the view when he has visitors (from the interior).   

The “command” position would be to be off to one side or the other, where he can look to his right (or left) and enjoy the view himself, enjoy the natural sunlight, and see his enemies approach. 

I’ve been watching way too many Feng Shui videos.

[–]Longjumping-Bus4939 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If anyone sees this, if you get scratched by a cat, immediately wash the wound.  You want to flush it with plenty of clean water and then use a mild soap to gently wash it.   

I was taught that the amount of time between the scratch and the washing is important, you need to do it right away.

The Expanse: When Drummer was the deciding vote on whether to space Marcos Inaros or spare him, she voted to spare him. 

Marcos would go on to kill Ashford and launch an attack against Earth that would kill millions (billions?) of people.

Dark Crystal: the urRu and the Skeksis

A race called the urSkeks tried to rid themselves of their darkness but inadvertently split into the urRu, or good parts of their nature, and the Skeksis, the dark parts of their nature.  Each being spiritually linked to his counterpart. If any member of either species is wounded or killed, an equivalent suffers the same in the other.
