I was showing my teenager how to get blood out of clothing this morning when I realized the Oxi-Clean spray I use for laundry says it works on grout. Gave it a shot and it actually worked on some spots on my shower that I haven't been able to get clean with scrubbing.

I'm looking for truly well-written stories. I'm a sucker for past abuse, found family, pack dynamics, characters that escape abuse/ institutions through marriage, bonding, soul mates, lots of scenting, angst, hurt/comfort, all of it.

In the interest of sharing, this is one of my favorites from the Witcher fandom.

They tore it up! This was my third time seeing them and I can't wait for the fourth. Their music is just so tremendous live! I really hope they come back to The Jefferson. It's such a great size theatre. 🫶

A woman posted about how her boyfriend wants to know her body count and she doesn't want to tell. It's 6 months into their relationship and he's decided it's a deal breaker to not know.

The comments are overwhelmingly No Assholes Here, saying she's fine for refusing, but he's okay for asking. Over and over she's told that it's totally acceptable for him to want to know the number, and that every man would want to know, and that she must know that it's going to be an issue, and she needs to accept that men won't like her answer.

And that's it right there. The only reason to know numbers is to judge, and everyone has judged high numbers to be bad.

If he's concerned about STI, that's a test

I just heard BamBam's new song Last Parade and it uses a sample at the beginning that's almost identical to one used in Ateez' The King. Does anyone know where it's from? I tried Shazam but it wasn't helpful.

I have 2 balcony tickets for tonight, but ended up being out of town. Paid $65 each, make me an offer.

I know the ticket says 7:30, but in my experience bands usually start late. Those of you who have been to this tour, what time are they actually coming on stage to start?

I just popped on my first estradiol patch today, and was very pleasantly surprised! I last used a birth control patch about 20 years ago, so I was expecting a 2-inch square tan patch and was sort of worried about trying to find an inconspicuous spot on my butt that wouldn't "bother" my husband.

This thing is tiny! And clear! It's practically less obvious than an acne patch!

Change of plans means I can't make the C-ville show, so I'm hoping someone is looking for tickets. Section 301, row B, seats 7-8, basically 2nd row balcony. I'll eat the fees if someone will pay face value which is $65 each.

Extra ticket for tonight. Anyone need one?

Two PCs are both hard-wired to the same Nighthawk R8000P router and IP addresses are DHCP-assigned. PC1 is on all the time, PC2 gets turned on and off daily.

When PC2 is turned on and the wired adapter connects to the internet, PC1 loses its connection for 2-3 seconds. It comes back immediately, but that's long enough for the user to get booted from online game, discord, whatever they're in.

I've tried setting DHCP reserved addresses for one, and both, on the router but that didn't change anything.

If I unplug the ethernet cable from PC2 and let it use WiFi on startup, there's no problem. Only happens on wired connection.

PC1 is Windows 10 Home, PC2 is Windows 10 Pro.
