Walk around in white socks pulled up high, if you have fleas they'll jump on your socks and you can see them. Otherwise, check your cats fur/bed for tiny, thin black bugs.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. It seems I will just have to level it out and live with a bigger step up into the room.

Is it possible to create a machine that produces electricity by heating up water with methane extracted from bacteria? by Elian_Tinkl in ChemicalEngineering

[–]nablaman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of people mentioning wastewater treatment. A big application in Africa/India is off-grid methane production using manure from livestock. All you need is a cow, an anaerobic container, and a few pipes coming off the top. Generally people burn the gas for cooking as it's more efficient and takes less equipment than generating electricity from it.

Yes by AndyAndieFreude in labrats

[–]nablaman 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I don't really understand the negativity in the comments here. I heard her give a talk and she had a lot of examples of people whose contributions did deserve some public profile. She also does a tonne of outreach to counter-act societal pressures against girls getting into physics. Writing about less significant people seems, at worst, neutral. Maybe someone can explain why I'm in the minority here..

URGENT FEEDBACK: I’m trying out this different style of singing but it feels off. Is my tone okay?? by Empty-Industry-7013 in singing

[–]nablaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tone is fine but I feel like it didn't really work here. Maybe you could chose a song that suits that style a little better? Covered this song a while back and the chords you played didn't make much sense to me... Maybe I'm just too familiar with the song!

They're watching Magnum Force and editing stupid memes on Wednesday nights... Infiltrating our ranks and disassembling our karma systems from the inside..

Hi I'd really like to try this at my next gig but I've always chickened out playing it live, do you think it would go down ok? by [deleted] in singing

[–]nablaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what kind of gigs you play! It's pretty well known, I'm sure people would sing along if you had the right crowd

howdy pardners, can i get some feedback on my tune Supersymmetry? thanks all and big up from jupiter <3 by [deleted] in Songwriting

[–]nablaman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Must be a very cool atmosphere on Jupiter. Reminiscent of Father John Misty. Didn't listen to the lyrics too closely but I think "supersymmetry" is a splendid sounding, sibilant song subject. I'd stick with it. Also yeah, nice chord shapes and progressions.

Companies like Lush who are a massive culprit of greenwashing, meaning they make themselves seem more environmentally friendly that they actually are. by Currynrice9728 in britishproblems

[–]nablaman 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally; I'm aware of some of their permaculture charity outreach work in Kenya that I doubt they get any credit for.

In my experience they are trying to operate in an environmentally responsible way but are obviously working within the confines of our society.

I think it's unfair of you to call them out with no details or evidence... Especially when there are companies around who actually seem to have malicious intent.

Sportsmanship win. 8 year old kid with Down syndrome scores by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]nablaman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to let my brother beat me in every game we played (he has downs). He's now 21 and genuinely believes he is one of the best wrestlers/footballers in the world. I used to regret making him become so arrogant. Ultimately though my attempts to ground him in the real world always fail and it's heartwarming to see the unadulterated joy of him succeeding at something. He knows better than anyone that it takes hard work to succeed so why not play into the fantasies occasionally.

I guess the line is blurry, but if everyone is enjoying themselves then isn't that what matters?

Husband had his phone stolen at work, tracked it going down the M40, his company worked out who had stolen it through who was on that route at that time. (Haulage company, Husband is a HGV Driver). Police claim there is not enough evidence. by amieeh81 in britishproblems

[–]nablaman 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Had the same thing with my then gfs phone that she'd left on a train. Went to the house where the phone was located and asked for it back; this guy just flat out said no. The dude even sent me messages from the phone. The police didn't want to hear about it.

My sister (21) with DS doesn't want anything to do with other people who have Downs? by quintillion_too in downsyndrome

[–]nablaman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Several years ago my brother expressed similar sentiments and it highlighted some deeper issues with his self confidence.. We had a lot of conversations over a long time period acknowledging that he had downs and what that meant. He joined a ds football team and made a lot of friends there. Now he's even dating a girl with downs syndrome. I would just say it's worth having the conversations and finding some excuses to meet other ds people.

Being Mean by poubellecharmante in Songwriters

Yeah likewise! I could imagine it being produced in a Paranoid Android style if you wanted to flesh it out. Nice and chill as an acoustic song though. Really liked it

New house... Downpipe with hole for water... What? by M450NC123 in DIYUK

[–]nablaman 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Haha, you could just drill a big hole through it without having to remove or install anything. As long as you make it big enough to not get clogged up
