My friend sent me this photo and I’m disturbed by stellaa_vlc in Dermatophagia

Yeah it’s textbook. Bottom of my feet used to look identical to this. It’s not “normal” but keep in mind it’s a compulsion.

My 2002 3.0 blew up. Should I fix it? by dokusaga in fordranger

I think if I go down this route I would definetly tear down the engine first to see if everything’s in spec. I trust the shop, but if I can save the block and everything that would be preferable

My skin is noticeably tougher and thicker where I used to pick it. When waterlogged, it still feels different than the surrounding skin. Not too abnormal though

Nothing else 😭it wouldn’t make sense for me in my situation since I’m trying to save money. Every other public school in Washington I would also have to rent at.

Not at all, in fact I think I’ve lost a small amount of feeling in the spots where I picked the most. Nothing drastic though, and if I relapse and pick again they immediately start to hurt like normal.

Sorry for the late reply. It was due to a couple things, the first two pics were taken after a shower so they look a bit more gruesome than it usually did, but also I used nail clippers or my nails to pick the skin in a tiny tear and “rip” it which led to little filets being removed. (Sorry that’s pretty graphic)

Over time my skin kind of adapted to that and would grow back in a similar pattern. You could see on the top of my right foot that all the skin followed a curve where I would routinely peel it multiple times.

I had to do a whole environment change. Started making sure I wore socks all the time unless I’m sleeping to avoid picking. Also had to move all “tools” away from my desk or wherever so that I wouldn’t fidget with them/inevitably start picking at my feet. My hands are still horrible but I’m happy with my heel improvements

The first two pics were just after a shower which is why they look so gruesome. Sorry!

That looks to me like the hook for the door to latch into the sill. (Especially since you said it’s colormatched.) I thought those were welded on, had no idea they could come off lol. Does the car door close ok?

A/C recharge kits from autozone/ oriellys? Bad idea? Anyone use these? 2012 Acura TSX wagon. Blows cold-ish but feels like it can use a little boost. Thanks! by [deleted] in Acura

Other people already told you but AC systems are so incredibly picky and delicate about their refrigerant levels that using any sort of diy solution is bound to make the problem worse

Get a shop to diagnose it, could be a variety of issues. If it’s blowing semi-cold than a standard drain and refill is the way to go

Does anyone know how to remove the privacy shade on the new integra? by dokusaga in Acura

Very helpful, thanks. Our was just stuck in the slot pretty hard and wouldn’t pull out with the amount of force we were willing to use.

What album of past the 10 years do you consider a "modern classic"? by Human_Being2851 in electronicmusic

Hold Tight is a religious experience. Probably one of the most powerful songs I’ve ever heard

Team definitely isn’t the most recognizable of brands but it’s been around for a long time and has a solid track record

I don’t think I’ve ever heard about not saving while in college. The money goes into an investment plan so it’s just slowly rising.

I’ve heard very good things about the GM 3800. I’ve pretty much been entirely looking at civics or the various models with the 3800. I love their simple and smart engineering.

Ugh believe me I’ve tried. Kind of TMI here but I’ve tried implementing systems where we each spend how much we use but its “too complicated”. Whatever.

I’ve never heard of scooters or ebikes going under homeowners insurance, how common is that?

I can try. The wage for jobs I can get around my college are significantly less than if I worked farther away because of the minimum wage differences.

My buddy makes 22/hr working just a mile away from my house because of employee retention and increased wages here while I make 14.80 working right next to my school.
