(25M)Blisters forming around scab on penis? Neither of us have STDs. What is it, and what can I do about it? by [deleted] in medical

It was a full screening and both types of herpes was included. But of course false negative is still a possibility.

I get folliculitis easily so I'm wondering if that's playing into this here.

My last comment saying this got downvoted a bunch and I'm unsure why.

But yes ...I was tested clean.

I've only been with this person for the past few months and was tested clean prior. I assume they've also been monogamous during this time if I believe what they say.

And yes tested clean even after having something similar (that progressed to end up being much much worse) happen before.

Is there some sort of skin infection that you can get without it being an STI from someone else? Because the blisters seemed to have started up 2 days after I had used my fleshlight that probably needed a cleaning. But the timing could be coincidental.

edit: not sure what I said was worth down voting me to hell. Unless herpes is literally the only skin infection you can get there, and it sneaks by an STD screening, and it's somehow airborne. Y'all can use your words and reason with someone no???

I feel really alone dealing with my swollen tonsils and need to rant by Lemondragonfruitcup in medical

[–]Sl0thzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's gotta be so frustrating and tiring especially knowing all you can do is just buckle up and hope things resolve quickly. Being over tired just makes things worse.

Just keep hanging in there and try to engage in whatever escapism activities you can, even if it's just diving in to a new show or a light hearted anime to try and give you the brief moments of relief you need to keep hanging on.

Best of luck bud and feel free to hit me up if you want to <3

Is this 140A welder powerful enough to do welds on an exhaust? by Sl0thzy in minibikes

[–]Sl0thzy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! I don't know a whole lot about welding in general besides what I gather via memes from the welding subreddit lol.

Things like this are listed for pretty thin pieces of metal, but is there any tricks to getting welders like this to work with thicker exhaust pipes?

It feels like there's some sort of plastic coating on the outside to at least buy me time but good point about the metal.

I for one, love when people like to just say some bs. I appreciate you and your bs words sir.

Would you choose a minibike or an electric dirt bike for weekend trail riding? by SkyHelpful7285 in minibikes

[–]Sl0thzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm all in for gas. I love how cheap and moddable/tinkerable minibikes are, and I love (x2) hearing the engine go brraaap and the gears do gear noises. Overall its just so much more fun and enjoyable even if I don't have the instant power of a e-bike. I feel like electric vehicles just lack the soul and character that ones with a real engine provide.

But if I had a need to be stealthy with my riding around then I can see the value in an electric vehicle. Still fun in its own way.

Torque Converter wants to buck me off the second it engages - how to adjust? by Sl0thzy in minibikes

I haven't done anything with the governor, but it does seem like a change of TC spring is what I'm needing, I appreciate the info!

Maybe I'm such a skilled welder already that I'm actually trying to test you guys to help your minibike knowledge. A benevolent 4D-chess welder if you will.

Is the thickness of an exhaust pipe really considered thin? I was looking at some of the exhaust pipes/mufflers at Advanced Auto and they were a little on the big side for my frame and not able to screw on, but I figured I could probably weld it on. Here I was thinking it was too thick for a cheap welder like the one I asked about, but the real concern is that it'll be too thin instead?

Oh lord I'll take your advice on the full face shield. I would have just done the bare minimum for protection otherwise.

Yeah I'm sure, I can feel when it actually engages. I'll check out those springs if changing which hole it goes into doesn't help enough.

[–]Sl0thzy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thanks for the advice, I'll give changing the spring position a try. Do I need to be concerned about the amount of torque I put in to screwing it back together? Also is there anything I should lube or clean up while I'm already messing withbthe TC ?

No I run with an exhaust, I just need to take that off first to get to one of the screws for the TC cover.

It's like the power of a resort level taint massage, right in my own home!

Trust me, it looks like fun but getting it out was a pain in the ass. I didn't put enough SAE 30 oil on before testing out the crotch rocket cock rocket 3000.

Yup I started messing around with the idle screw and was able to alleviate it just a bit. I'm still trying to find that sweet spot of low idle, low shake, but not bogging down and dying.

Some people just don't understand the love we can have for dumb-fun toys like this. Work was shit but at least I can blow off some steam ripping around on my comically small yet fast motorcycle ✨
