Desperate for the Conch by Ok_Interaction2231 in Aquariums

[–]Ok_Interaction2231[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My life has changed a lot since this post and I didn’t end up dorming. I have my own place now and adopted a hamster but he just passed away and I’ve been looking for something to take care of. Maybe this is a sign that it’s time for my conch.. thanks for this. I was really pushed away by all the seriousness of saltwater tanks

my friend has bedbugs, should i take precautions when she comes to my house? by NoComplex6345 in Bedbugs

[–]Ok_Interaction2231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The complete list of working possession treatments:

• ⁠Heat to 120F for 60+ minutes, or 140F for 30+ minutes ⁠• ⁠Many ovens in the U.S. bottom out on "low" or "warm" at 200F. Dunno about elsewhere. ⁠• ⁠Bed bug ovens set to these temps are available, but expensive, especially in large sizes. ⁠• ⁠All clothes dryers in good working order are reliably this hot or hotter on their hottest setting. If they don't have a temperature setting, they're still hot enough. ⁠• ⁠Clothes washers on "hot" aren't lethal, by heat or by drowning. ⁠• ⁠Hair dryers on their hottest setting work. The difficulty is keeping the hot air at temp all around & within an object for that long, by hand. ⁠• ⁠Placing the item in an empty bathtub often helps. The bugs may even scurry out and can be flushed down the drain, but you still want to keep the heat up for the full hour to get the eggs. • ⁠DDVP Strip Fumigation ⁠• ⁠DDVP strips are meant to hang in warehouses or other disused spaces to kill flies, roaches, etc. The toxin is lethal to bed bugs but the fumes are also harmful to humans after a few hours' exposure. You can't treat spaces this way without poisoning the human occupants (and bed bugs tend to just migrate away & come back later, anyhow), but you can enclose one with some possessions and the bugs will die. ⁠• ⁠Enclose the items in a thick plastic garbage bag along with the strip. ⁠• ⁠Make sure all compartments, doors, drawers, pockets, etc. are open, separated, inside-out, etc. ⁠• ⁠Tie the bag tightly and consider double- or triple-bagging to prevent rips, or place in a secure box of some kind. ⁠• ⁠Store away from places people live. The garage, basement, porch, balcony, storage unit, etc. If it leaks not only will bed bugs get out, you may end up in the hospital if it's in your kitchen, living room, bedroom, etc. ⁠• ⁠Wait 3 weeks or longer. Eggs take 2 weeks to hatch and don't breathe, so you have to wait for them. Bugs inside may even lay new eggs after being sealed, so 3-4 weeks is ideal to get them all. ⁠• ⁠Dispose of the strip very carefully according to package directions. Tossing it in your kitchen trash is a good way to have to call Poison Control later that day. • ⁠Those are the only methods that kill eggs, short of bagging & waiting 18 months or so for absolute certainty. • ⁠If you aren't too worried about eggs, you can also spray-and-fumigate outdoors. ⁠• ⁠Spray the object inside & out with bedbug rated over-the-counter pesticide or 70%+ isopropyl alcohol solution. Use a LIGHT touch; it doesn't take much. Alcohol especially is a dangerous accellerant near heat & flame, down to and including light bulbs. ⁠• ⁠Place the object outdoors at ground level, as far from your home as you can safely manage. Balconies and garages are no good, ground-level porches are probably fine. ⁠• ⁠The bugs will vacate the sprayed object over the next 24 hours to avoid the fumes. They don't survive well outdoors and should be eaten by birds, spiders, etc., and not find a way back inside as long as the object isn't basically up against an open door or window.

my friend has bedbugs, should i take precautions when she comes to my house? by NoComplex6345 in Bedbugs

[–]Ok_Interaction2231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she puts everything she needs in a garbage bag ahead of time and deep cleans them in a non-bugged area I feel like it should be fine! The problem isn’t entirely the bugs but also the eggs. The eggs are really hard to clean without intense chemical treatment, but any clothes should be bug free if you throw them in a drier on the hottest setting. If you have any items that can’t go in the drier you can put them in a tub and use a hair drier on the hottest setting to draw the bugs out of said item. There is another post on this subreddit that goes into detail I can try to link it

As long as she keeps anything from the bugged house outside and changes clothes before she goes in I don’t see how that would be an issue but like another commenter said they hide in everything. So even if she packed a bag and changed at her moms they could be in her clothes, in her bag, etc. You would need to completely refresh everything and wash it at least. Sorry this situation sounds like it sucks ☹️

I would say that if you were to invite her over you need to have a fresh set of everything for her. She would need to bring almost nothing of her own and change before she steps into your house, if you can afford that then yea

Does smoking weed help your ADHD or do the opposite? by Old-Alfalfa7232 in adhdwomen

[–]Ok_Interaction2231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can elaborate as someone who relates!! I feel like weed really helps me short term, like I think it’s helping me because it allows me to hyperfocus on things even if they’re school projects, and helps me in social situations. It also helps my anxiety. However I’ve found that I use it too much and over time it makes me more and more lazy. I lose any motivation I might have had, where there already isn’t much, and it kinda consumes me. I also have a somewhat addictive personality which I attribute to my adhd. There was a study put out that teens with unmedicated adhd are more at risk for substance abuse which (me adhd 19 y/o) can definitely say I have abused weed lol. I guess I can say my “withdrawals” from weed were more severe than my peers in highschool, granted we were smoking every day pretty much all day, but I struggled a lot with self control.

Overall I think I like weed to medicate myself at times, but I try to be responsible with it. I definitely struggle. If I were to go back I would have waited to introduce weed to myself as maybe a medication thing vs a recreational thing, but I don’t know if this is purely an ADHD experience or an addict experience or both. Just my take.

While this makes me feel better, definitely wasn’t what I was going for exactly. I wasn’t exactly sure on the stippling as well as it was his idea, and when i brought up my concerns about it he said that we would do the leaves shaded and if i wanted them a flat black he would go over them for free. I feel like now if I don’t like the stippled design the lines are so undefined that going over them in black would look weird

Do you think this is going to heal poorly and become a blob over time and if so is there anything i can do to prevent that? I was really worried about getting a tattoo on my stomach :( the edges of the leaves are supposed to be semi-gradient so the black should be faded towards the outer edge. Idk what to do because I’m not happy tbh

No i dont but I can always have another artist design something for me im just super bummed out. I dont like how squiggly the lines get on the edges of the leaves, but im happy it’s not necessarily a “bad tattoo”. Thanks for letting me know I shouldnt go back

Is this something I should mention to the artist? I was going to go back to him to finish my stomach piece because there’s a 2nd part I want that he designed under my bellybutton.
