3 AnswersFast Food1 month agohow to dispose of near-full expanding spray foam can?
we didn't know that these expanding foam spray cans have a tendency to seal themselves and are thus meant to be used all at once, so my husband used a very small amount recently and now it is too clogged and slow draining to be useful.
from what i've read, the can needs to be empty to throw away safely, but it's practically full and we can't use it normally anymore. normally i just take an axe to spray cans to make sure they are empty, but with expanding foam that seems like a REALLY bad idea.
what should we do to dispose of this thing safely?
16 AnswersDo It Yourself (DIY)4 months agowhat are the squareish holes in the bottom of my water heater?
our very very old water heater is leaking, but we can't find from where. while feeling around the bottom, i found very deliberate squareish holes on its underside, where it's raised off the attic floor and sitting in a pan. what are these holes for, and could they be the problem? they are not rusted. i was going to just ducttape the whole underside of the tank while we wait 2 days for the replacement tank to arrive, but these holes feel deliberate so i'm guessing that would be a bad idea. i want to know what they are but can't find anything on google.

1 AnswerZoology5 months agohow to restore steel utensils?
some of our stainless steel utensils have begun to rust. (in particular the lid of our parmesan shaker, but also some forks and knives) i've read that the thing that makes stainless steel 'stainless' is just a simple coating on top of the metal that wears off over time. what is this coating? can't i just remove the rust and then reapply the coating, instead of having to buy all new utensils?
8 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs5 months agohow to change zoom shortcut in sai2?
i was using sai and sai2 side by side (i liked brushes in 1 that i couldn't replicate in 2, but sometimes i need 2's larger memory) and it was fine, however, i just got a new pc and a fresh install of sai2, and i found that the scroll wheel zoom is inverted from sai 1. of course i went into the shortcut settings to change it, but it doesn't seem to see what i've done. no matter what i set 'page up' and 'page down' too, scrolling is always inverted zoom, and i can't find any other options that might be the scroll wheel. what am i doing wrong?

i'm in agonizing pain if i'm not swishing cold water in my mouth. so every five minutes i have to change out the water to keep it cold and keep the pain at manageable levels. i was told the pain is from sore nerves in my two front teeth, from grinding or clenching my teeth at night. dentist said there's really nothing they can do except wait for the nerves to heal, and wear a mouth guard at night from now on. but the pain is unbearable, and i can't sleep if i have to get up every 5 minutes to get more water. please help.
1 AnswerDental2 years agowhy do doctors always ask when my last period was?
i don't keep track of my menstrual cycle because it's extremely regular and i am not sexually active. like there's absolutely no chance in hell i could be pregnant, so why's it matter? went to the doctor for knee pain and they ask me that. why should i have to chart this **** out for a mundane doctor visit? it's stupid and annoying. can i just straight up tell them 'there's no chance i'm pregnant' when they ask about my period, cuz i really can't be bothered to track it every single month just on the off-chance i might get a cold and want to see a doc.
15 AnswersWomen's Health2 years agois there an alternative explanation for my rape-trauma-like symptoms?
i have androphbia(fear of men) and haphephobia(fear of being touched), and anything having to do with my vagina makes me extremely uncomfortable. it's been suggested to me by psychs and friends who have been abused that maybe i was raped or molested as a child and have repressed the memories of said event. no matter how much i think about it though, or who i ask in my family, there aren't any hints that something like that happened to me, other than the aforementioned issues, and my dad being a sociopathic asshole. i've never even bit hit on, and i'm 25 years old.
i'd really like to know what messed me up so much.
5 AnswersMental Health3 years agoNon-Prescription Hypoallergenic Dry Cat Food?
My cat Luna has a protein allergy, so she tends to vomit regularly for any dry food we've tried to give her. We just got a prescription for science diet, but WOW is it expensive. 3 times as much as any other food we've given her. I love her so I'll get it if it's our only option, but are there really no non-prescription dry cat foods we can get her instead?
3 AnswersCats4 years agoPunishment for Bestiality/Zoophilia?
My friend just told me that she knew someone who had gotten caught having sexual relations with their dog and as punishment the state euthanized the dog(in addition to jailing the person). I can't believe that this is true. How can any state condone the murder of an innocent animal as punishment for its owner showing it carnal affection? Jail time, fines, seizing the animal all make sense, but KILLING IT?! This can't be right. Right?
Please tell me that my friend has to be confused.
8 AnswersLaw & Ethics5 years agoWhy does my husband get frustrated so easily?
My husband is a super sweet guy, very generous, and kind of a doormat. He's always polite to strangers and you can get just about anything from him just by asking. If you met him, you'd never think that he would even be capable of getting angry, let alone throw and punch objects in rage, or yell at me, his wife, over small inconveniences.
However, living at home with him, just the two of us, I've noticed and unfortunately experience his frustration first hand. We'll be playing a game together on the computer or working on dinner or a home improvement project and he'll slowly start to become more and more snappy, and by the end of it, he'll be shouting and slamming doors over nothing at all. We've talked about it a lot and he honestly can't tell me why he's so upset most of the time. When he can find a reason, it's always something small and insignificant and that knowledge tends to upset him more.
We both agree that his anger isn't right, that it isn't him or who he wants to be, and that something needs to be done about it. Being in the military however, he's had bad experiences with psychs not being very helpful, and also is afraid that if he is prescribed certain drugs he'll be kicked out altogether. Suffering from severe depression and anxiety myself, I know that psychs CAN be life savers, but I understand his concern and I don't want him to lose his job.

4 AnswersMental Health5 years agoNew Graphics card runs smoother but randomly crashes?
Playing ark: survival evolved and my old graphics card just couldn't handle it so i got a new one, along with a new power supply, since mine was over 10 years old. New card is an AMD Radeon (TM) R9 380, with 4 gigs of memory on board in addition to my 4 gigs of additional ram. Old card was an AMD Radeon HD 6800. I've updated drivers both manually and with auto-detect, tried running the game with different settings, to no avail. Runs smoother but crashes and recovers to desktop with no warning regularly enough to make the game unplayable. I just bought this freakin' card and I'm not made of money so this is very frustrating. What can I do to stop the crashes?
2 AnswersAdd-ons6 years agoHow to turn broken, frizzy hair into thick, smooth hair?
My hair has always been thin, dry, and full of split-ends. When I say thin, I don't mean my hair is falling out or there isn't much of it, on the contrary, I have a LOT of hair, it's just that each strand is very thin and easily frayed and/or broken. This means my hair is very light-weight and thus flies all over the place constantly, Super frizzy and awful. I want hair that is heavy and smooth, like a lot of indian girls have.
I also don't have a big budget or a lot of time to do my hair each day. I never wear my hair in a complex style, I just keep it straight and long. Sometimes I straighten it with a flat iron just to make the fly-aways less noticeable and keep it from getting as tangled.
I've heard that leave-in conditioner is good, and to avoid any shampoo with sodium laurel sulfate in it. I've been fond of treseme lately because it seems to undo the damage of the chlorine in the tap water, but I just read that it has that SLS chemical in it.
here's the kind of hair i want: http://www.hairfrizzcontrol.com/blog/wp-content/up...
and below is a picture of my actual hair, immediately after having it washed, dried, and cut.

1 AnswerPhysics6 years agoHow should I go about designing/purchasing my wedding rings?
My husband I had a private courthouse wedding. No fuss, no muss. At the time we wore chain rings that I had made for us, looking similar to this https://mjtrim.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/silvers... but the over-the-back-of-the-hand design makes it so that my spouse can't wear his to work, and the chain-link clasp tends to catch on various fabrics around the house as well, so I'd like to get us some real wedding rings. Something simple and affordable would be best, we had a private wedding to begin with because we aren't rich. We want matching rings, each under 500$ if possible. I was thinking tungsten carbide for durability, with a plain black finish, maybe no gems at all, but I really want our rings to be unique somehow, not just black bands. i just don't know how to keep it simple while adding a unique touch, nor do I know how to go about ordering a custom ring like that. And if I get tungston, will the black color fade over time?
3 AnswersWeddings6 years agoWhat is the best kind/brand of cheese for making cheese straws?
Trying to replicate the awesome intense cheesey flavor of Betsy's original cheese straws for when I don't want to wait for them to come in the mail. I -think- that extra sharp cheddar is what I need to get that flavor, but with some brands it just isn't intense enough and others have this terrible bitterness that ruins the cheesey goodness. I don't like bitter or sour or mild, I just want the purest most powerful distinct CHEESE flavor.
