I'm going to be treating my clothes with permethrin tomorrow and have a few questions.

Is it safe/good to use on things like socks and hats?

How saturated is saturated enough?

Any other general tips?

Edit: To people saying to just read the label, labels don't say which items to use it on. I wouldn't have thought about spraying my shoes without making this post. I'm not looking for advice that's on the label like spray outside and keep away from cats.

Does anyone know of a breathable hinged knee brace? Something either mostly cotton or mesh?

I need to wear them when walking, but I can't stand the plastic foam and trapped moisture feeling

Last year I rented my downstairs unit to a couple. A few months later one of them moved out into a section 8 voucher apartment. It's time to decide on renewing and they are requesting to both be on the lease again.

A Google search leans towards a section 8 tenant not being permitted to have a second lease, but the closest thing I could find for a HUD source on the topic was more about occupancy than the lease itself (one said "only residence" another said "primary residence" another just said you have to live there full time)

Can someone using a section 8 housing voucher for one apartment be on a second lease elsewhere?

I'm a co- author on a paper being submitted today. I was the last to get a chance to review it and was added at the start of year 2 of the 2 year paper, meaning I'm not a major contributor, but I definitely contributed-- and there wasn't much time for my concerns to be discussed.

The problem is that women and "other" genders are combined for analysis without explanation. This was decided early on and without my input. I don't necessarily have a problem with combining them, but I think it is wrong and transphobic to combine them without providing a reason why they are combined.

When I saw this in the draft I told the lead author that I'm not comfortable with this unless there is at least a sentence saying why the genders were combined. The lead assured me that it would be addressed.

It wasn't really addressed. (Originally quoted the paper here, but now deleted to avoid easy direct identification)

They didn't give a reason for combining them, they basically just said that we did combine them and the number of non- binary respondents is too low to analyze at this time.

I'm thinking of withdrawing my name as a co- author and need to decide like right this moment. I'm on a second paper this summer and a third very soon, so losing this one wouldn't matter too much. I'm just worried that I'm over reacting to this.

I'm not sure what to do

Edit: I've decided that since this is the conference version of the paper and I'm a grad student I'm not going to rock the boat by withdrawing now. I will make sure that it is fully addressed before the journal version is finalized, and withdrawal if it's not appropriately addressed.

I've previously had a laparoscopic endometrioma removal, then a year later endometrioma and ovary removal. I had really easy recoveries both time.

I'm scheduled for a hysterectomy in a few months. It should be just a simple laparoscopic partial hysterectomy removing the uterus and leaving the cervical cuff.

For people who've had different types of laparoscopic gyno surgeries, how have your recoveries compared?

Does anyone have a good guide for differentiating young creeping bellflower and white snakeroot? I'm asking here because creeping bellflower is edible but snakeroot is definitely not.

I know my yard is full of bellflower, and I want to start tackling that problem, but I also have white snakeroot. I thought I could forage a little while beginning the eradication, but the toxic look alike is a concern. I also don't want to pull up all the native snakeroot while trying to get rid of the bellflower.

Should I just ignore them until they're blooming?

I swear someone asks about leggings every single day. Maybe a pinned thread would be useful.

I have a duplex and live on the second floor. All of my kitchen, the basement lights, half the dining room/ office, and half the living room are all on the same circuit. This means needing to go flip the switch almost daily (basically any time someone is using the tv room and a kitchen appliance at the same time).

What could be the expected cost range to split that circuit and add an additional outlet in the kitchen? I'm in a medium sized rust belt city. Like, is this in the <$1000 range, $1000-$3000, over $5000?
