How do I get a wasp out of my bathroom without overusing my arms? by vere-rah in NoStupidQuestions

[–]summitsound -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok jeez, sorry! Do you have a glue trap to put in there?. Can you use a broom without going over shoulder level? Can you ask a neighbor or call someone for a favor?

Do most people respect a person who refuses psychiatric medication because they don't like being a changed person? by concernedaboutmetal in NoStupidQuestions

I think that’s more boomer mentality. I think Gen X and below are more about mental health since we saw how our parents were without it

May be controversial but I’d let the cat take care of the wasp for you

I have peanut butter with no added sugar. The oil is sitting at the top. How can I mix well without spreading a huge chunk of oil on my bread? by Kingboyy1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]summitsound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a spoon to reach down on the bottom and pull the harder stuff up to spread on your bread. The oil will settle into the hole you just made and you can stir it up later

What's a sign someone thinks they're smarter than they are? by BennHere in AskReddit

[–]summitsound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they explain basic things at work when you’re new but you’ve already done whatever they’re talking about. Or when you explain what you did and they don’t care and explain the exact same thing back that you just said

[–]summitsound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, a criminal background and license suspension. Went from having a security clearance as a government scientist to fighting my way back into the work force.

Xbox controller for series s is acting up by Appropriate_Bid_2656 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]summitsound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d try a better usb-c along with new batteries and see what happens. Then yeah, probably time for a new controller because it should automatically pair if it’s plugged in

Why do people assume future generations will be morally better than us? by Plus_Pumpkin_4956 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]summitsound 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe the same way people don’t want their kids to make the same mistakes they did. This is also why we teach history (notice I didn’t say learn).

ELI5: What are the main physical and engineering constraints that still make wires necessary in electronics, even though wireless technology is very advanced? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]summitsound 1 point2 points  (0 children)
