Vertical mice are fantastic at fixing this, and seriously helped alleviate my wrist pain. It's the same basic idea, just that your hand is in a permanent "handshake" position; I found it much easier to adjust to than some of the other ergo mice solutions.

(the customize tab is not there, though it is on my other hard drives) but I could do it to all the subfolders by selecting them all. Thanks. I didn't think that as an added bonus my stuff might load faster now, too. Hey, I have another question! EDIT: No I don't, I'm dumb, the answer was right in front of me all along. credburn fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Aug 18, 2020 |

I have a guess, which is that the person on top (hehe) has more background noise, or a shittier mic that pics up more background noise. That's why it never relaxes down to a skinny line.

My couch set won't arrive for another month. What are some good seating options for the living room, short of stacking up on blankets and living like squatters?

Chairs. Kitchen chairs if you already have them, or cheap lawn chairs for something more comfy (that you can also use for their intended purpose after the couch comes). Or you can just learn to sit on the floor, I appreciate a good couch but floor sitting isn't that bad. We did it for a whole month recently after shipping our couch away in a pod.

Is there a good way to sit on the floor without getting back pain at some point? I always experience that and it's annoying as it then lasts for like a day or two with an uncomfortable around the sacral bone. Is that something you can train?

For me sitting on the floor in most cases leads to my butt/legs falling asleep. I guess it's different if you're at home and can move around, but this was always in the context of a bunch of people all on the floor at once so you're constrained by how much you can wriggle.

My car got bumped in the parking garage at work. Broken taillight and a scuffed bumper. I've heard that body shops will report all damage as just a generic "this vehicle has been in a collision" regardless of the extent. Is that at all accurate?

I'm getting old and part of that is completely crashing around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. I get so tired, like full on sleepy. Taking a walk helps for around half an hour, then it's back to sleepytown. Anyone got any hot tips to avoid this? Caffeine doesn't seem to help and google just tried to sell me poo poo when I look for answers there.

Taking a walk helps for around half an hour, then it's back to sleepytown. How much sleep do you get on an average night? More sleep at night (going to bed earlier) can help with feeling tired mid day. If you are getting a good amount, is it solid sleep, or do you wake up often? I found I have sleep apnea and getting a CPAP really helped me both stay asleep and not feel tired. ED: Yeah, sleep apnea is usually going to be something that someone living with you would notice. Do you eat a big lunch typically? Eating a big meal at lunch can bring on lethargy and make you feel groggy. Are you at work or at home? If you are at work, walking around, taking a few laps around the building/floor can help a little bit. Take a smoke break outside, even if you don't smoke. If you are at home, you might be getting bored/distracted. I know that if I zone out in my office at home, I'll fall asleep in my chair sometimes. Do something to keep yourself occupied.

Yeah I am huge glutton and lunch is my biggest meal by far, maybe I need to dial that back a little. I'm hoping that's it. I'll do a little more walking during the day too. I'd like to get more sleep, but I literally can't. I get seven hours and that's that. If I go to bed at nine, I wake up at four and can't fall back asleep. If I stay up till one in the morning, I'm up at eight.

Hey gang, I'm producing an audio drama based on the Dungeons and Dragons setting, Dark Sun. Specifically the old CRPG. The game has these big frog dudes called daggorans. I can't find anywhere a place where this is spoken aloud or its pronunciation discussed. So I guess I'd like some opinions from you fine educated folk how it might be said. I was sort of pronouncing it almost like "DAG-er-ahns."

Is it safe to soak a plastic faucet in vinegar to clean out the mineral water build up? Also, once you've washed something with bleach, how long must you wait before you can use vinegar to clean it?

Most every plastic is fine with vinegar if it’s not heated, extremely concentrated, or in contact for long periods of time.

Bleach though may ruin some chrome or nickel finishes on plastics. So be sure not to leave that on to long.

This and also the groups involved have internalized competing narratives (largely thanks to the imperialist meddling previously mentioned) so everybody has a different definition of what "peace" would look like.
