  • Risks for repeated light switch flicking?

    I have a sister who has a problem with fidgeting. At some times she would continuously turn on and off a light switch. We tell her to stop, but she wont. At one point, I would hear a small electric buzz when I slowly move the switch up. I’m not sure if it means there is a small electrical problem happening due to my sister’s frequent light switch flickering. Is there is a risk if she continues doing this? Like a spark which could cause a fire, or something that could cut the power, or something similar to that?

  • Return to normality?

    Is there a chance the world or parts of the world may go back to the way they were? With different vaccines being distributed, it seems like covid will be gone mid 2021. Hoping I could have an opportunity to go to France this summer

  • Can I trust the Phizer/Moderna vaccine?

    So some of us may have heard of a doctor in Florida who died a week after getting the Phizer vaccine. I still cannot seem to find if the doc’s death was linked to the vaccine. Anyways, my mom’s job is offering vaccines to all employees and family. I of course am skeptical on getting it after hearing about the doctor. So is the vaccine safe? Can i trust the vaccine is harmless, and will not torture me or kill me?

  • Someone who hasnt paid back someone?

    March 2020, my coworker loaned $500 to another coworker for an emergency. She promised to pay her back, but to this day she still has not. My coworker tells me that she receives texts from her saying she will pay her back next week or next month, but she does not. Now she says she will pay her back this coming week. If she still does not, can my coworker file a police report on her? Or is there any legal action she can take on her?

  • Flat tire light?

    My car is a 2013 Honda Accord. The flat tire light came on a couple days ago, so i assumed my tires just needed air. Once I filled all 4 to the appropriate pressure, the light still stays on. Anyone know what it means? There is no signs of air leaking, or any damage. My father says, it just means it is time to replace the tires, but my tires still look alright; no wears in the treads, no dents, no signs of the tires already used up. So what does it mean if the flat tire light remains on even when there is plenty of air in all 4 tires?

  • Relatives who never met previous relatives?

    My grandfather died in 2002, my sister who was 2 years old at that time never knew him. Is he considered an ancestor to my sister? She never knew or met him. Same with my great grandmother. My little cousin who is 1 year old was just a new born infant when my great grandmother died. So is she also considered an ancestor to my little cousin? Or are they just considered grandparents?

  • Bowel movement after meals?

    Again this is another embarrassing topic, but does the amount of stools i drop depend on how much i eat? For example, i eat a mcchicken and a small fry. I should expect drop a small amount, at least 1 or 2 pieces. And if i eat a big meal like at an all you can eat buffet, i should drop a huge amount like 5 or 6 pieces, right? Or does it not matter? Like if i eat a huge meal, and i drop 1 or 2 pieces in the toilet the next day, is that normal? If the pieces were smaller, is it still normal regardless if i ate a huge meal? This is what sort of is going on to me now. I fear that if i keep eating huge amounts, all the contents will be lined up in my colon, and be released one at a time on different days. This is sort of holding me back from having snacks.

  • Taking laxatives?

    Is it ok to take ExLax chocolate laxatives when im not constipated? I feel like im not emptying myself completely. I still feel like i have something release, but at the same time i cant, and i strain. I dont have the urge to use the toilet, but i do feel like i do have something to drop. And whenever i do, they come out in little pieces and sink to the bottom, and they sometimes mush together. Not sure if this is just a small change or if I M constipated

  • Taking laxatives when not constipated?

    This is embarrassing for me to be asking, but whats the worse that can happen if i took laxatives when im not really constipated? Im asking because i feel like im not emptying my bowels completely. I have small urges to empty them, but i feel like i cant. So what if im not constipated and i still take laxatives? Will i still release something? [predigested food, digestive juices, etc??] Or will nothing happen?

  • Losing belly fat?

    I use to be skinny to point where you can feel and see my ribs, and my joints. Now i appear to be gaining belly fat. It’s becoming a bit noticeable by my friends and coworkers. I’ve been jogging, planking, and doing cardio exercises for some time, and i still look the same. I don’t know what else to do. With the gyms closed, i don’t know how much more belly fat i may gain. If i stop eating for 3 days, and only eat pieces of bread, will it make a difference? Or is there some kind of supplement? Im just trying to lose this belly fat, to make it less noticeable

  • Can the virus spread through an argument?

    Me and my supervisor got into a heated argument with a customer. The customer bitched at us, and we all know when people yell or scream, specks of spit tend to fly out of their mouths. Me and my supervisor were wearing masks, I also had a face shield on, but the customer did not; her mask was under her chin. The counter was the only thing that separated us from the customer. We did not get in physical contact with her. Once it was over, my supervisor is worried the customer may have the virus, but i assured her she may be safe, because she had her mask on, and specks of spit wont fly that far compared to how far spit goes when someone sneezes or coughs. Any opinions? Is she safe?

  • Bank account of a deceased person?

    My coworker died from the virus, he lived alone in the country, and all his family is in Guatemala. His family are desperate to have his body/ashes sent to them, but the problem is there is no family here to claim his body. Plus they are trying to figure out what will happen to his bank account. My coworker didnt set a will to anyone to collect what he has on it. Surely there must be some way. Any advice? I cant help out more, because i reached my limits

  • Smart sink/faucet?

    I M looking for either a smart sink or faucet I can install on the kitchen and bathroom sink. My stupid sister would always spend 5-10 min rinsing her hands, plate, and spoon.She does not use soap to clean her hands or plate, she just rinses and rinses. I would like a faucet that i can link to my phone. Where I can turn the water off and on with my phone, and perhaps have a timer set to turn off the water. This is making the water bill go high

  • Virus transmit through humidity?

    With the pandemic continuing to spread, Im now seeing that the gyms can be a high risk. I see that the virus cannot spread through sweat, but what about the body heat we release? Can the virus be transmitted through the humidity or heat we release while we work out? Please do not try to be funny by giving me a false answer.

  • Treatment for belching?

    My cousin is having a problem with frequent belching. Every minute he feels an amount of air rising up his throat and belches. He as well feels a small burn feeling on his throat, which i assume may be a bit of his stomach acid as his belching may be pumping some acid in his throat. Sometimes bits of his acid would reach to his nostrils and mouth, which he quickly swallows back and cant spit it out. Is this like a heartburn or something? How can he get it to stop or reduce it? Some kind of medication?

  • Attacks in France?

    Sooo ever since those terrorist attacks in Charlie Hebdo happened in 2015, i had a couple questions that to this day i have no answers to. Im sure we've all seen those videos online of the 2 suspects killing a police officer, and then shooting at a police car blocking their path. My questions are: Was that police officer alone trying to stop them? Where were the other cops when that police car showed up alone? Why did it take so long for other cops to show up? What ever happened to those 2 suspects? Were they killed, were they captured?

  • car start problems?

    I have a 2013 Honda Accord. For sometime and reason, whenever i push the ignition button, all i hear is just a click from the hood. The dashboard does turn on. But sometimes i have to push and push the ignition button over and over again, but all i hear is just a click from the hood. I keep on pushing the button until the engine does turn on. What does this mean? My dad says its because the battery on my key is dying, but i dont know. Plus, what does it mean when the engine light turns on?
