I inherited a lovely bureau that's in pristine condition except for this top surface. What's on it appears to be accumulated drippings from oil based cosmetic products. It's both flaky and gooey.
Hi all!
I'm in the process of removing my flooring for a fresh laminate installment, and have come across a section that has about 3 layers of peel and stick flooring that is very stubborn to come off.
I was hoping for some tips to make the job easier. Many thanks!
My wife bought this while thrifting yesterday and I thought I be sweet and clean it up for her, I used a sponge and soap but all these scratches came up. I googled tooth paste might work but I need some help
I need help she comes home in 3 hrs
I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'm just now realizing that I don't know how to breathe properly. I've had severe OCD my whole life, and I've only learned recently that it's inadvertendly structured the way I breathe. I've gotten my OCD under control over decades, but my doctor said he could tell from years of low CO2 levels that I'm not breathing correctly. He said it could actually be contributing more to my body's stress because to the brain, shallow breathing = danger = more adrenaline and stress. So recently, I've been trying to take full deep breaths, and it just feels...wrong. Like my stomach distends and is uncomfortable. It's also a chore. I feel like I've gone too far the opposite way.
What's an appropriate breath? How much time does it take you guys to complete a breath (one inhale + one exhale)? Does your stomach come out all the way? How "full" do you fill your lungs before releasing? Should I just split the difference between full and shallow? Or is an appropriate breath different for everyone? I also find I hold my breath a lot accidentally. I realize and have to manually release. If anyone here has that habit, how do they learn to undo it?
Please be kind, I feel stupid asking for advice here, but I can't find answers online. I just keep getting referred to breathing exercises. I'm aware this isn't medical advice: I just want to know what's normal for everyone else.
I was doing some pull ups at home using a pull up bar but after I removed it, I found this on the wall
Pls, help me before the landlord comes in
The dust is so gross but it’s all I have, the room I rent doesn’t have a ceiling fan
I’ve tried twisting it and it’s not working, at all.
Hi guys, I bought a two pack of battery powered camping LEDs that are self contained. My 8 yo opened the charge port cover then pulled it out. 😑 I’ve tried using a straightened paper clip, tweezers, and other pokey things. I’ve tried to push and twist it back into place and just can’t quite get it back into place.
Any suggestions? TIA!
UPDATE: I fixed it! I put it in the freezer to see if it would firm up but it didn’t in any useful way. But that reminded me that I have a can of “topical cold spray”. So using needle nose pliers I froze the end and jammed and twisted it into the hole. It only partially made it in so I used a paper clip to gently push the rest of it in. And it’s back to its mostly original condition. Thanks Reddit!
Hi all, the details are not important but I got sharpie on my new comfrt hoodie :((( They are about 50/50 cotton/polyester I believe. I tried to use alcohol and it didn’t do a ton, maybe I did it wrong idk. Then I used oxi clean stain remover and washed it on cold and it faded a bit. Any advice?? 🙏 Maybe hairspray? The one I have doesn’t have alcohol if that would impact it? Thank you!!!
The water bottle (1 Liter) is from a vacation but has wax stuck to the bottom of the bottle and a smell inseparable from the cap and water bottle. I have tried using boiling water and it removed some of the wax but not all of it and I have washed it with water a ton. I don’t want to ruin the water bottle with some chemical taste so I could use some tips please and thank you.
I have this metal bowl that has been painted with something and the paint has started to come off after years of use and from being washed in the dishwasher. Any ideas how I could remove the rest of the paint? It has peeled off in the bottom but is still solid on the sides.
Trying to get the plate off to unscrew but can't figure out how to do it. I tried poking a pen into each of the round holes and also a flat screwdriver into that slit on the right side, but nothing seems to be doing the trick... Do I need a smaller or longer tool?

Attempting to try on a cosplay but I can’t figure out how to snap these two pieces together. Anyone know the name of the piece so I can do some research?
TIA!
the seller said this was an issue so they tried to use alcohol or oil, apparently it came from an ink of a pen. Is there any way I can clean the dry ink away? thanks
