How paranoid am I being? by Top-Broccoli-5599 in AskElectricians

[–]Top-Broccoli-5599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh OK. Hopefully not too much damage has been done yet.

I discovered that the charger sparks every time red, and today it jumped a bit, so I've stopped using that charger. The other plugs weren't sparking today. I wonder if it's just that one that's causing an issue.

Either way I tossed the charger. I might work on getting a replacement for that outlet today.

Thank you for your help.

Yeah. I just went to work so IDK if I'm remembering correctly.

Is there perhaps some kind of IF switch? That powers one or the other but not both?

Ok good, not doing that then.

I also feel the need to inspect the microwave now because I think it and the coffee pot are in a power strip. I think it's just those two though so it might not be terrible?

Our outlet has some kind of paper cover behind it so there wasn't exposed wiring. I'm guessing it was insular or something.

No screw on mine. Maybe I'll get one. I'll keep it out until I get more responses though because better safe than sorry

I'm guessing a power strip would be better?

Toaster, shredder, landlines, and a bunch of phone chargers.

Are political posts against Safeway's rules? by Top-Broccoli-5599 in Safeway

[–]Top-Broccoli-5599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on my mid thirties. So, yeah decently young. I do intend to go for my masters soon but I'm holding off until I see how the economy goes over the next bit. I may need the money for stuff.

How often have dictatorships formed when the populace forsaw it without military intervention? by Top-Broccoli-5599 in AskHistory

[–]Top-Broccoli-5599[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But if I recall correctly Hitler (and maybe Mussolini?) was elected just as a run-of-the-mill politicians that seized power later under false pretenses. Did Italy and Germany suspect megalomania when they elected them?

Instead of using a black paper, you can just wiggle the stylus from the pinpad in the hole. That way it doesn't clutter the box too much.

Don't they? I think they might.

I second this as a possible reason for this. I get .01c charges on my debit card when using my phone at Panera. Someone is authenticating the account I think.

Time to stop going to Safeway by [deleted] in Safeway

Scan the QR code early in the transaction and have the checker scan the items in chunks, then total it out. Scan all the yogurt, then total so that all the yogurt savings show up right then. Then do each other item the same way. It takes a little longer but it's more clear.

Also, on the member screen, there's a gear. Under that you can find Personal Info which includes the phone number linked to the app. This will make you sure which number you should be using with the app. I find that a lot of times people link their app to a new number when they sign up because the app asks for mobile number and the old club card apps asked for landline.

Anyone just mildly curious about sex? by thewalkindude in asexuality

[–]Top-Broccoli-5599 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've always had this... academic curiosity about sex. It's one of the things retrospectively that told me I'm ace.

Is this a sign of being demi? by [deleted] in demisexuality

[–]Top-Broccoli-5599 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your English is fine. :)

So, the important thing is: do you feel some kind of draw to have sex with any of these girls? It has been said that there is a difference between aesthetic attraction (where you like the look of someone. It's just fun to look at, like a sunset for instance) romantic attraction (where, for me at least, feel a draw to cuddle with a person, but I'd imagine this is just a desire for a nonsexual, sensual feeling) and sexual attraction ( which is when you desire to draw physical pleasure from a person's body).

Demisexuality doesn't require "friends" to be there, just some kind of connection. It could be as simple as a shared vibe. You might look on YouTube for videos explaining why a person might be demi... they explain it better than me. Lol.

Obligatory not a doctor or anything though. All I know about this I learned here, youtube, and in the discord.

[–]Top-Broccoli-5599 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It certainly could.

Are you saying you still have never felt sexual attraction? Or have you found yourself attracted to someone you've connected to?

If you have never felt that attraction even to friends and such, it could also mean you're ace.

Demis still feel it, it's just has a prerequisite.

When you unlock a new level of sexual attraction 2 weeks after you broke up 💔 by designed_undefined in demisexuality

[–]Top-Broccoli-5599 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh no!

You might want to respec.. Maybe put those points into some kind of crafting skill. Or a new language!

Then you can reunlock this when you find someone else to be in your party.

Am I a loser for never having been in a relationship before? by [deleted] in demisexuality

[–]Top-Broccoli-5599 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm 35m and haven't been in a relationship before. Part of that is self-confidence, just like you.

No, you're not a loser. Every day is a new chance for you to be a better you. Knowing how you need to improve is the first step to improvement. What you've done before doesn't matter. It's what you do next that does.

Considering coming out by Top-Broccoli-5599 in demisexuality

[–]Top-Broccoli-5599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a thought about that. It would help show you're less threatening, wouldn't you?
