I’m saying this based on personal experience, having gone through a really bad hygiene phase when I was extremely depressed.

It took me a long time to figure out why the stink was not coming out of my clothes despite repeated washings, vinegar/borax/alcohol/etc treatments, everything I could think of.

I ended up using cheap pet odor enzyme spray. Have since learned there are other more expensive enzymes, but I’m happy with the pet spray cuz it works.

I just have to jump in here.

The lingering B.O. in clothes is dead bacteria which still stink - you need enzymes to actually accomplish anything.

Vodka and vinegar are useless except for certain applications and for “fresh” sweat.

To cure hiccups:

Hyperventilate for about 30 seconds; breathe out until your lungs feel like they’re going to implode; Without intaking breath, smoothly chug a 12oz glass of water.

It will “reset” your spasming diaphragm and stop the hiccups.

My buddy called-in Sportchek when they were advertising skis for like $900 but “marked down” to 200! They had to stop that practice as a result of his report.

Welcome to the block list, child

I managed buildings. There is no scenario anywhere where anybody would be allowed to linger in a common area

Disengage.

The amount of doomer shit you intake is directly proportional to time spent online listening to the opinions of imbeciles.

So basically walk away.

For me personally, until a month ago I had no idea why people would prefer to watch at faster speed.

Then I was assigned 10 hours of training at work, and it was all the worst fucking videos you’ve ever seen, no editing for clarity or brevity, points being repeated ad nausea. Repeating footage. And it’s not like I could skip vast portions of it, I never knew when a little piece of key information would be snuck in which was in the knowledge test.

Finally said to myself fuck this and I put it on 2x. I found it kind of life-changing in that moment and I’m going to consider using faster watch speeds from now on.

I saw a commercial in the 70’s for Starburst. All of them were the same pattern: Person pops candy into their mouth, next scene is them taking off hang-gliding.

I thought if I ate a Starburst I’d get sent flying off a mountain like the hang gliders. Not in a fun way… eat this candy and you’re getting flung to your death off the top of a mountain. (I didn’t understand what a hang glider was either)

Frying is the transference of heat through oil or fat. Air “frying” is just heating.

Agreed, and this article is written backwards.

Problem: Audio is a low power (relatively low data) signal that goes over wire. Audio data (not audio) sent via USB needs decoding into audio before it gets sent down the headphone wire. Implementation fails due to insufficient bandwidth. Graphs and textual details go into details about the bottlenecks.

Thank you

Are we in the same reality? No, because the question is what do we need to do to make the Fediverse better.

You being here isn’t one of those things apparently.

The influx of new users in the last 4 months has shown me there needs to be some disincentive for posting the same regurgitated sentiment-based shit that you see every time you log in. Regurgitated sentiments and memes represent 95% of the content… yes AI bad… Israel bad… Cheese powder face man bad… I feel depressed… I can’t afford a house… robots took my job. How many times can we as a community re-state what we already know to be true.

This is Reddit 2.0 let’s not kid ourselves.

I know it’s not implausible, but the fabrication about contacting the company that had the contract to make the signs blew it all apart, the fonts are heavily controlled and copyrighted and they would lose the city contract if they got caught, no sign printing company is going to go out of business to make six bucks off some random dude.

This is a lie.
