I’ve made a great draft and have to somehow remember it and rewrite it in test settings how can I do that?

This is the base of a four drawer dresser. Wondering if there’s anyway I can fix this or at least strengthen it.

I interview people for a living. Interviews last 30 minutes to 1 hours. Right now I scramble to types notes as they answer my questions. I then review these notes and dictate their statements in the correct report format. I then upload my dictation and have turbo scribe AI type it out for me into a report that I have to proofread and edit,

My goal: I’d like to eliminate all the other steps and have a complete report by the time the interview is done (of course I’d look over the report once to proofread). I’ll use whatever tools, programs, and devices necessary to make this happen.

If it can’t be done then I’m looking for a faster way overall to get the whole process done.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I have this spherical lip balm that is stuck closed. If you've never seen one, they have two plastic hemispheres which you rotate in opposite directions to open. This one is currently stuck shut and I don't know why. I’ve tried inserting a butter knife in between the two halves to give more separation, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Please don't judge the state of this shower. Just moved to my first apartment and this is how the last tenant left it, and sadly my landlord is 77 and wasn't able to clean it herself. The only downfall to this whole place is this god forsaken tub. I am getting the caulk removed and recaulked as the last tenant just caulked right over the old caulk without cleaning it, so no worries there as the contractor fixing my windows is going to deal with the caulk. I have zep mold and mildew remover, clorox bleach, all purpose cleaner. I've scrubbed at this thing to no avail. Is this stainage? Some serious advice would be really helpful because it seems like nothing is working, or I need something more heavy duty. Or something to soak it in? Any advice would be great. I want to get this shower to a point of comfort where I can move myself in fully and use it, and this bathroom is the only thing in my way currently.

My wife made a fancy Christmas decoration. It’s 12x96” , lightweight- it’s a bunch of red ornaments on chicken wire with lights behind . I am responsible for hanging it. Problem is I don’t want to damage the stucco. My plan was a couple finishing nails in the window frame and some wire but the white frame around window is metal.

Only thing I can think of is a couple small anchors into the stucco on the lip under window (A) or some adhesive suction cups.

Please give me your ideas. I need to get creative and my brain is tired.

Thanks and merry Christmas.🎄 🍻

Alright, so this is a rant about everything (mainly about school, I think, but there is a lot on my mind). Quick note: do NOT suggest anything requiring money because I cannot afford anything on my own and cannot ask my parents to buy me anything, thank you for your time and please help!

Growing up, I've gotten consistent straight As, but l've always been paprehensive abotu school and feared something bad would happen. Just last year, I finally came to the realization that it might be a problem when I got hit by the largest wave of "post-vacation blues" when I returned to school after Spring break. This may be because I'm just lazy, but I always try to make sure I spend enough time for school to get good grades and finish my work. Typing this, it's already a long time (which is stressing me already) because I accidently somehow erased the whole thing and couldn't find an undo button, so as you can tell, I'm clumsy and maybe, if you're generous, let me know if I can change that. So let's hurry up cause I have more work to do after this.

Im a freshman in high school right now, yes, high school. I don't know if this is normal or if I'm using "comparative thinking"—basically", I'm comparing my situation to others (in this case, other people that I have seen stress about school are the upperclassmen or are in college/uni) - so that makes me feel horrible about stressing at an easier year. If anyone can reassure me or help me over come my negative feelings over this situation, please, I encourage you to help me in any way. Right now I take 2 APs, Psychology and Human Geography. Regarding Psych, I need help with answering the test questions. The concepts seem mildly hard to understand, not too easy and not too hard, but it's the questions I'm worried about. I've always sucked at reading and comprehension (if you have any help with this, please let me know) and so if y'all know anything to help me with understanding these AP questions, please notify me. Also, in psychology, on tests, I constantly see questions about "what change would make this experiment/study better?" and let's take reliability for example (what would make it more reliable). I would say "operational definitions/make sure you have consistent results," but that's not always an answer, so I struggle trying to figure out the answer. Sometimes I'm lucky and sometimes, not so much. SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEE help me in ANY way you can. Now, for Human Geography, there are A LOT of vocab and notes (idk if it's supposed to be like this) but I like the class. It's pretty interesting and I'm kind of behind in notes and it takes me FOREVER to take notes, especially in Human Geography. I'm very appreciative of my nice teacher, but I need some extra help with this class (I watch Mr. Sinn, a human geography educator I found on Youtube, so if you have ANY other form of help you can recommend, PLEASE let me know). Again, for these questions, i feel underprepared, not sure why. Before, I would feel confident, but just getting to the test, is already anxious, but to add on to it, I feel like I don't know everything I'm supposed to. ESPECIALLY because I'm HORRIBLE with Geography and not actually sure where each place is which and why it's important, so if you're an AP Human Geography expert, please send ANY help you can regarding the subject, maybe even if you can explain each part of the world, you WILL BE APPRECIATEDDD. However, this is the part where I'm most stressed about school. I have a test and 2 projects this week, all of which I feel like I can do. However.. this class (Principles of Health Science).. LORD.. it's not like it's hard, I just dislike the teacher. I just don't feel the vibes she gives and we're not compatible. However, she does prepare us well for the tests she gives, so I will give her that. HOWEVER.. before my Thanksgiving Break (last week), there were these two packets I received, both at different times, and they are late. One of them, I submitted yesterday and it counted for 2 grades, one being major (60%) another being a minor (40%). Both of which I got 70. My grade is a 79. For some, this might seem okay, I'm passing, almost a B, but I can't tell you why, but I always feel so stressed over grades and get REALLY scared over tests and getting something wrong, I might just have horrible test taking skills or "Atychiphobia" (fear of failing, I just googled it), which hopefully I dont have, and if you guys have any advice to over come this, please let me know, thank you! Now... regarding the other packet I didn't turn in.. it was due A LONG TIME AGO, and EVERYBODY else turned it in, so I must have been distracted last month becuase I never heard her say to turn either packet in, so I will admit, this was on me, not her. Today (Tuesday 12/3 in case you are reading this on another day), I turned it in and she said she probably wasn't going to grade it.. so it might go in as a 0, which will drop my 79 EVEN LOWER. THIS IS THE MAIN REASON I'M SENDING THIS, I'M STRESSING SO HARD OVER THIS AND I NEED GENUINE HELP TO STOP STRESSING OVER BAD GRADES. The only positive I have in that class is a test tomorrow (Wednesday 12/4), which idk if I've already mentioned, but she does a good job at preparing us, and I think I'm going to ace it. But I'm not sure where I'll sit, and I know I shouldn't aim to high to say an "A," because it's unlikely and I'm probably going to end up with a B when graidng period is over, and I need help coming over this as I planned to work hard this year too and get As, but honestly I wnat to convince myself a B is not bad, but I can't shake the feeling of stress and trying to get my grade higher. Additionally, every Wednesday (so tomorrow too) she allows us to wear scrubs and get 10 extra credit for it (major or minor, I'm not sure) and one time, during this grading period, I wore scrubs, but she still hasn't put in the grade for it yet, so I'm thinking of talking to her about it if nothing happens by the end of the week (should I do this? please help). Also, during school season overall, I feel REALLY guilty if I play videogames during free-time instead of studying. Right now, I can already feel the guilt creeping up on me, and I've read other posts, and Idk, none of it sticks to me, I might (probably) just be lazy so I need A LOT OF HELP to overcome this and stop stressing during my free-time because I really want to be able to enjoy myself without the worry over school. To make matters worse, I am TERRIBLY shy. I have no close friends, and that is just SO sad. I've always never been able to socialize with others, and i don't plan to because everyone already has established friend groups and I saw people to say, "just start small convos, or go up to people who are alone," and I've tried but my shyness makes me feel this certain feeling of idk what, maybe anxiety, being judged (I am self-conscious and feel like I'm constantly being judged and I need hlep getting over it), and i want it to stop. In 7th grade, i did have a friend, but he's a better friend out of one of my other friends. this friend I've known since 4th grade, and we can talk to each other fine, but we don't have any classes together and we don't really talk thru msgs, but when we're face to face, we talk. However, i've never spoken anything deep to him and I desparately want somebody who I relate to (sadly, me and my friend don't have much in common) to talk to. The main thing I really like is this show and movie. "Doctor Who" and "The Intouchables." However, I don't know how to find out if anyone in my school actually likes these and I haven't got the time for any clubs. Also, the reason I'm spilling my guts on Reddit is because, like I said, I dont have anyone/any friends to talk to about this and I've seen some people get the help they needed through this platform, so I pray this works. Now, I have tried talking to my dad about my constant anxiety (because even a month before school started, i already started stressing on how hard this year would be), and he tells me the same thing "if you fucked up, you fucked up, get up and try again" and honestly, I'm trying to do that right now but it hasn't helped lower my stress significantly, I'm still feel overwhelmed. I've tried deep breathing (4 in, 4 out, is that it?) and meditating, which I do by sitting down and deep breathing, but it helps me for a little while, but then i get abck to stressing. I started this a few days ago, so I might just be inexperienced or doing this wrong. Not only that, whenever I see a group of friends, I get really envious (I don't hate them or anything, I jsut really wished I could have a small group of friends too). I know this is probably sounding so "loner"-coded or laughable or childish, but it's become a really big problem, and I need helppp.. PLEASE. Also, I was going to type this all out yesterday, but it was getting late (~11:30 p.m.) and I wake up SUPER tired during a school day if I go to sleep at around 11-12, so that wasn't helping. Also, I really need help finding a way to sleep faster. It takese me awhile (not hours thankfully), but a few moments to sleep and i alwyas get uncomfortbale and twist and turn and need any help I can get to sleep faster and more comfortably. Please don't say "just clear your mind" because I just cannot do that, there's always a thought buzzing in my head.

This next part I'm going to say is religious (Christianity), so if you are not religious or uncomfrotable with religion, I advise you to move on from this part (no offense intended): I've never really been a good Christian, I can barely pay attention during mass, and my family doesnt even own a bible. I tell myself I should just find an online bible, but I've been terribly lazy and I've been fearful about my spiritual future, will I get to go to Heaven? Hopefully, but I maybe not, it's not my decision, so I also need help to become better with myself and to feel more motivated to do this.

I think I've mostly said everything, so thank you so much for your time and any help will be DEEPLY appreciated. I'm sorry if I've sounded like a horrible person in any way, I apologize in advance, and I'm sorry if I've made no sense, I kind of just rambled through this hold thing.

Honestly, typing this out makes me feel a tad bit better.

SORRY THIS IS SO LONG!!

it's winter and we had a huge snow. i have a humble sedan and tho i have been trying to stay off the roads, the little amount of driving i did (and mostly getting stuck in my parking lot where i live) messed my car up some.

i know i need an alignment bc this exact thing happened two years ago. except it was worse last time and i drove like that for too long and in turn got a flat tire (you live and you learn. plz don't be mean to me).

i am very busy this week. i have 2 important friend's birthdays i am celebrating. how fast can i get tires and an alignment? can i call around tomorrow and could anyone schedule me that day? or is that unrealistic?

i called somewhere today and they said they don't have my tires in stock. could i get an alignment this week and get new tires within the next couple of weeks bc i want to figure out where to go and i don't have any time this week? or is that stupid

What kind of machine could do this? Not sure about the type of material. Any practically minded men who could help would be appreciated thanks.

Is this the worst paper towel dispenser ever developed? It rarely works. How do you get it to work when placing your hands underneath does not activate the mechanical reel?

A/C repair man said when they installed the system, they didn’t replace the original electrical conduit, so it left this on the roof. Said that water could leak into it when it rains. Is this something I can fill in/fix easily, or is it better to pay him to do it?

any suggestions?

I’m making my son a race car bed with (hopefully) functioning headlights/tail lights. I have the woodworking part down but I don’t know a thing about electrical.

I’m envisioning four small (4x6inch or smaller) LED panels all tied to a single toggle switch which I would mount somewhere in the bed frame. Two white lights recessed into the grille and two red lights mounted on the rear. I would like all of this to be powered via a standard 3-prong wall plug.

I am separately adding RGB strips around the trim of the car as an underglow effect. This is just going to be the basic HD strip light kit with a remote. I only bring this up in case there’s a way to merge power sources.

Tittle explains everything. I have these old shoes that I tried to wear to completion. The soles are almost completely useless and they have little support and grip now. I've also gone through all my other shoes, so I'm looking to buy new ones. Finding good, vegan, water-proof, sustainable shoes is very difficult though, so I started wondering how much trouble it would be to squeeze another few years out of these old shoes? They ain't vegan, but using what you already had is always most sustainable :)

Looking forward to any advice or step-plans. Also wondering what it would cost me to replace the soles. Thanks!

This is a new build, and it’s settling a bit, causing some wood to shift. I’m not sure what caused the dent, but I’d like to fix it. Should I apply a coat of paint as is, or should I use a little wood filler or putty first?

As described in the title, we had a new microwave mounted recently. When mounting the microwave we didn't consider that the laundry shoot was in the wall that the microwave was being mounted to. Now, 2 screws poke out into the laundry shoot and catch clothing that are placed in the shoot. The only access to the shoot is either from the top on the 2nd floor, or through the drop out in the basement. The screws are located on the first floor, about 10 feet from either access point.

How could I go about fixing this? Would prefer not to open up a wall or un-mount the microwave or this would already be fixed. If that is the only thing we can come up with then I'll go that rout.

Please reference quickly made diagram.

Looking to purchase a new car next year sometime. I (34f) have never done it before and I want to make sure I’m doing it right. (I’ve only driven hand-me-downs.) I can’t pay for it outright so I’m assuming I’ll need a car loan. But beyond that, I’m fuzzy on the how-to of it all.

Any suggestions?

May sound basic, but I feel like my clothes are being damaged each time I wash them, and it got to a point where I try not to wash them until really necessary (smell or stain).

I thought washing clothes was easy: put them in the washing machine with a bit of washing liquid, some softener, run the machine, then hang out the clothes until they're dry, iron if necessary, fold and pit away, all done.

But then:

• my bra underwriting would come out of my bra after a round in the washing machine. Even if I used a net. I spent so much time repairing my bra, sewing them back in...only for them to come out again one or two wash after that. I finally switched for non-wired bras.
• all of my "soft" clothes would come out...not soft anymore. Think, soft warm sock or sweater, things like that.
• normal clothes are damaged: over stretched, fabric become finer until a fine polo sweater actually becomes see-through.

When my clothes comes out of the machine they're all tangled together; I don't remember that it was tangled like that when I was a kid with my mom machine. So I thought that maybe my washing machine is like...too strong? Or I don't fill it enough? I've bought it brand new 5 years prior, tried different detergents too, nothing changed. I could try another washing machine, but I'll have to sell this one to buy a new one, would probably lose money over it and won't do it unless I'm sure it'll solve the problem.

So, what am I doing wrong? Any advice?
