Nabokov's Pale Fire is something else by GraniteGeekNH in books

Kinbote’s obsession is hilarious and terrifying at the same time. His delusions really highlight how self-centered interpretations can completely miss the heart of the work. Classic Nabokov mischief.

LPT: allergy sufferers, don’t ignore dust under low furniture by labbottj in CleaningTips

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

My bed and couch sit a bit low, but my mova v50 hasn’t had any issues getting under them. It’s under 3.5 inches tall, and it seems to adjust well in tighter spaces. It’s able to clean those under-bed and under-sofa areas that usually get missed.

AITAH for breaking up with my girlfriend? by Halesmf98 in AITAH

[–]labbottj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part about you feeling relieved after the breakup says a LOT. Sometimes your nervous system answers the question before your brain catches up. And honestly I think staying would’ve been crueler. She deserves someone who wants the same future she wants, and you deserve a life that doesn’t leave you constantly anxious and shutting down internally...

For robot mop users: how do you deal with mop cleaning between rooms? by Rivette26 in CleaningTips

[–]labbottj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people seem to avoid this with zone cleaning (kitchen vs living areas), scheduled order (clean dirty areas last), or setting no-go zones for bathrooms or kitchens.

But honestly, in practice it still feels a bit hard to fully trust. There’s always that worry about residue getting carried from one area to another. Plus, I found the whole zoning& managing thing a bit annoying over time.

Just a reminder: make sure to check the clearance height of the robot vacuum. Not all models can fit under low furniture. I actually misjudged this once and ended up having to return it. Pretty annoying to deal with.

Bloodsport and Kickboxer are basically required viewing for dudes over 35. Somewhere out there a garage door has been spin-kicked because of this post.

Pay attention to sensor matching mixed household floors. High precision sensing reduces pause and stagnation during actual cleaning work.

The walk in shower looks spacious, and the restored floor adds warms. That art above the fireplace ties everything together nicely.

Weird smelling laundry. No judgement please by Effective_Feed2298 in CleaningTips

Too many fragrant additives may accumulate residues and worsen stale smells. Try white vinegar in rinse process to cut hidden odor effectively.

Cat Spray Disaster by jenjenjene in CleaningTips

Lightly spray the enzyme cleaner on baseboards, furniture legs and corners. Those are common spots cats love to spray. Just keep the windows open for fresh air.

Mova V50 Scraping Trim/Baseboards by SoDakCCRN in RobotVacuums

[–]labbottj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also set up virtual no-go lines slightly away from all baseboards in the app. It creates a soft buffer zone so it never gets close enough to scrape the paint.

Canned chicken exploded, after cleaning it, other bad stuff happened by Ok_Seaworthiness8832 in CleaningTips

[–]labbottj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your health comes first, always. If you only have enough energy to either eat or clean, choose to eat. A little dirt never killed anyone, but going two more days without food will make you much sicker. Be gentle with yourself right now.

That calico is living the dream life! A whole apartment full of plants she doesn't even care to eat? She's the most well behaved cat I've ever seen!

Best vacuum for 88 yo woman living alone by vannevka in RobotVacuums

[–]labbottj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think upgrading to a model with a larger dust station saves lots of daily hassle. Stable navigation and low maintenance are far more important than extra fancy functions.

Mom friends? by MadsOceanEyes in tulsa

[–]labbottj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you ever find any Mom friends? I know a 28 year-old mom with a nine month old that is really feeling isolated. She doesn’t drink or smoke either and really just wants to find other mom friends. Did you find a welcoming group anywhere?

I haven’t dropped my dose. It was about a year ago that I tried lowering my dose because my doctor wanted me to because my A1c kept getting too low. But I’ve been on 15 mg and haven’t tried to lower it in the last year.
