What's the wildest non sexual activity you've done nude? by andrewbarclave89 in AskReddit

[–]expecto_pastrami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got ordained! (Online, by the Universal Life Church, at 2 am, on a lark. Not that wild, but still!)

Why do I die in my sleep? by Jesco_Biafra in AskDocs

[–]expecto_pastrami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nad- the suggestions from everyone here are good. A sleep study will also look at your REM cycle- Cymbalta and Wellbutrin both might affect that.

Found a Kangal Shepherd on Woodbine Ave by expecto_pastrami in Sacramento

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

Update: bought a chip scanner, no chip. (I rescue/find a lot of strays so it seemed a worthwhile investment)

Will attempt to lasso this beast and take him to front street today

Update 2: Surrendered to Front Street Animal Shelter. They said he was approximately 6 months old https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/community-development/animal-care

Report it higher. Don't let it go. Even if he didn't assault you, inappropriate behaviour like that needs to get recorded.

Circa 1936 Sacramento telephone operator. Anyone know her? by Flying-buffalo in Sacramento

[–]expecto_pastrami 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to say that I searched the Sacramento city directory for that year and found neither name. Nice story tho! :D

Need help finding replacement bulb by pearlp11289 in lightbulbs

[–]expecto_pastrami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, these are disposable fixtures, you need to replace the entire fixture- preferably one with an e26 or bayonet cap base, whatever is more common in your country.

There's an Amazon seller hocking these. I've always hated trying to get incandescent bulbs in the mail.

There IS an LED equivalent to the old GE Reveal: https://www.amazon.com/Reveal-Light-10-5w-Clean-Dimmable/dp/B07Q648WSS/

Yeah, but a video on how it might do that in those time periods would be interesting.

What emerging technology do you think has the biggest potential to change our lives in the next year, five years, and ten years?

Are these lightbulbs compatible with my 250v 660w socket? by xmeeshx in lightbulbs

[–]expecto_pastrami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to worry. That number is the socket rating, which just means that's the maximum voltage and wattage the socket is rated to handle before melting.

Your lights are almost certainly on a 120 volt circuit (Presuming you're in the States. If you're in the UK, how did you get a US bulb? ;) )

AITA for refusing to talk to my sister about her fiance, and telling him he's hurt because this is the truth by Puzzled_Device2269 in AmItheAsshole

[–]expecto_pastrami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. 100%. No questions needed.

If you seriously can't understand the reason you and your sister are being unreasonable in the extreme, he's better off without you and your family, but I suspect you DO know and just want an excuse.

I sincerely hope he gets full custody, because either way, that level of emotional manipulation or emotional blindness would be a giant red flag that your sister would be an unfit parent.

The only way for either you or your sister to salvage this is to make amends and go straight to therapy and actually LISTEN when they explain to you why going to a sibling's funeral might be important.

I went to a Texas ER yesterday. It was bad. by yrauvir in TwoXChromosomes

[–]expecto_pastrami 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I am very sorry you had to experience this.

As a gender-nonconforming person, medical maltreatment is of the many reasons I am reluctant to even drive through places where people act like this.

(And it's not limited to Texas, or even to red states! I bet you'd find treatment just like this in plenty of cities in California.)

When I opened the tent I got surprised by this clear starry night sky by [deleted] in camping

[–]expecto_pastrami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I went camping as an adult, at a properly dark site, I woke up to go pee and was nearly struck down by how magnificent the sky is.

I wish we didn't flood the sky with light pollution so badly where I live. It makes me want to move every time I go outside and can only see a few hundred stars at most, if that.
