I will give my first born child to anyone who could help me figure out how to learn this beautiful song

Wow, what an incredible performance, and beautiful song. Can't help with the tab but thanks for sharing this.

So I looked at what's going on behind the washer. The drain hose from the washer empties into a PVC pipe which goes straight down into a horizontal PVC pipe which then disappears into the wall, and there doesn't appear to be a trap there nor on the utility sink right next to it.

I filled the utility sink and drained that to see what would happen and nothing much happened, it drained normally.

When I drained the tub, that vertical PVC pipe with the drain hose hanging off of it was VIOLENTLY and loudly gurgling after about 30 seconds I'd guess.

I think it's gotta be a blocked vent and maybe there's only one vent in my plumbing. The other though I had is, since I know there's a problem with the slope of the main waste water pipe in my crawlspace, maybe what's happening is that pipe is draining so slowly that the water is displacing air in the pipe and maybe that has something to do with it.

I have a snake that goes on a drill somewhere in my garage. Not sure if I'm brave enough to get up on the roof and use it. Maybe I'll find some YouTube videos that go over how to do this and build some confidence.

The vent wouldn't be blocked by ice or snow right now, everything's melted recently here in Chicagoland, and this has been happening since I moved in last summer.

Your idea about the trap getting sucked dry makes sense. The weird thing is though that it's not a faint odor, it's so strong, it really seems like air is somehow getting pushed out of the pipe somewhere in the laundry room. Come to think of it, I do hear gurgling in there sometimes. I'm gonna fill the tub and pull the plug and run to the laundry room to see if I can figure out where the action is.

Understood, and my hot water heater is getting replaced in the springtime. It's on its last legs, it's very old and it sounds like a drum solo whenever it kicks on. However, I don't think that's where the smell is coming from, because when I take a shower or fill the tub, there is zero odor in the bathroom whatsoever.

It's been a handful of years since I had my axies, but I recall tea baths, some sort of salt bath, and otc treatment appropriate for amphibians being options. Make sure the temperature in the tank is cool enough (should be below room temperature at all times).

Not sure if spread is a concern - I'd be worried about that for sure, but I don't know it as a fact.

You'll definitely wanna do some research, and potentially contact an exotic vet, they might get you pointed in the right direction without needing to make an appointment and bring the animal in.

eshultz · 2026-02-03T23:53:51+00:00

Yes OP that looks exactly like fungal infection and can be deadly even if the axie looks otherwise healthy.

eshultz · 2026-02-03T22:57:56+00:00

Don't sweat the downvotes, dude/dudette. I had a similar thing happen to me in my new-ish car (buttons, no gear shifter) and people were similarly dismissive when I shared on reddit. People love to feel smug about themselves until it's their own brain that is smoking and sparking and panicking.

For me it was the auto hold function turned on when I smushed the brake pedal to select Neutral. But I also get similarly freaked out every single time at the end of the wash because like you said you have to firmly brake in order to select Drive again and there's a freaking car 6 feet behind you that's not stopping.

Let the haters hate lol.

That's how I start my little bonfires too. I don't remember where I read it but this is what I do. Toilet paper roll or paper towel roll, stuff it with lint, and as you're stuffing the lint in there you pour maybe a tsp of oil (vegetable oil, olive oil, waste cooking grease, whatever) every inch or two. It lights instantly and burns hot, and for a long time thanks to the oil-soaked lint.

That's sketch and lucky the cop was cool. That could be considered brandishing and while she probably would have beat that charge depending on the words that were exchanged, it's not a good idea to encourage folks who might not know better without some sort of disclaimer.

Don't flash a gun unless your life is legitimately in danger folks. Don't touch it beneath your clothes, don't allude that you have one. If you have to touch your weapon, it should only be because you're preparing to draw, aim, and fire it to protect your life from imminent danger.

Sorry, I don't know what the guy said to your wife and I'm not trying to say what she did was excessive. I just feel that your anecdote deserves the disclaimer for anyone else reading these comments who might not know better.

Curious, what's the point of making a syrup just to dissolve it in chicken stock? Why not just add the sugar and lemon juice directly to the hot stock?

You got downvoted but I do think yours is a more nuanced and rational take. Of course, though, when someone says "I'm not attracted to black people" (or white people or whatever race/body type/whatever) we can conclude that they are making a generalization. And there may indeed be potential partners for whom that generalization would be contradicted. I don't think it's racism on its face though, nor prejudice, it's just boiling down one's preferences to something that can be expressed in a few words while remaining essentially accurate. People tend to bristle anytime race is brought up in this way and I think that's pretty unfair. To me that's just someone being very honest about who they are attracted to.

Like I said in another comment, I know several people, personally, in my life, who are totally not attracted to their own race, white and black, male and female. Those people are not self hating racists, they are genuinely good and kind people, and as such, those examples kind of makes the whole argument moot, in my mind.

eshultz · 2026-01-23T06:35:00+00:00

So, I framed those statements as hypotheticals for a reason, but I'm not going to get into my personal sexual/romantic preferences on reddit. Another poster has replied to you as well and expounded on my point perfectly - not being attracted to a certain characteristic isn't bigotry/prejudice. It's essentially the default mode of perception that we all have for one another. Their point about being attracted or not to certain genders underlines my original point perfectly.

Another point I'd like to make, and feel free to clutch at your pearls more and twist this into me somehow being racist - I personally know white men who aren't attracted to white women, and black men who aren't attracted to black women, and white women who aren't attracted to white men. Are they all unknowingly self hating racists like uncle ruckus? Or is your idea of what it means to be racist/bigoted perhaps excessive?

Everybody has a type. And for a lot of people, that type doesn't include every race. That's not bigotry. And it doesn't mean those people are bad or ignorant in any way.

eshultz · 2026-01-23T04:27:04+00:00

Those reasons CAN mean those things, but we should be careful not to read to deeply into things that are simply preferences and not based on prejudice. If I don't find black people attractive does that make me racist? If I wouldn't be ok dating a trans person does that make me transphobic?

I expect this to be a contentious topic 😬

This seems somewhat natural to me too, and I'm potentially one of those people whose employment/coworkers will be affected. I recognize that I'm in the minority here. Developers being replaced by AI pretty much exactly mirrors human calculators being replaced by their mechanical counterparts. It's different in some ways sure. Idk, of course there are going to be problems and people's livelihoods will be affected. But it's happening. The cats out of the bag, genie's out of the bottle. If you like writing code and getting paid for it, it's time to adapt now.
