Inceltown posted:Why are they charging you to swap phones, can't you just take your SIM out of one phone and put it in another? The carrier shouldn't have anything to do with this. Full disclosure I'm not from the USA and is how it would happen here. I think they have their phones locked to the carrier there. It's some bullshit.

I don't know, I don't have the tool to open up the iPhone and just swap the sim. They charged $20 just to switch from the iPhone to the Android. I assumed they would just charge another $20 to switch back to the iPhone which is bullshit enough on its own. I barely use voice, I don't really use text, and I can use wifi at home/work/most places I go. It's such bullshit.

I don't see that messages have been deleted in my server unless I'm using a third-party program, and even then it just says 'Deleted'. I definitely can't see user searches.

Can that foil that comes with burritos and shawarma be used to reheat in the oven? It's like aluminum on the outside, paper on the inside. I got a burrito last night but didn't eat it and stuck it in the fridge unwrapped.

A friend made a discord bot for her server that posts the text of the most recently deleted message, so that functionality exists somewhere in the Discord API even if there isn't a button for it in the UI.

Thirteen Orphans posted:I went to boot up a blu ray on my ancient laptop. It’s not connected to the internet because it has no antivirus as I only use it to watch DVDs and Blu Ray’s now. It says that it needs to update the software to play blu rays (it’s never done that before but I haven’t used this device in literal years). Two questions, if I plug in the internet just log enough to update will I be OK, and two I have a PS4 and am not planning on getting next gens as I moved strictly to PC gaming. I use my PS4 as my blu ray player in the den. Is it going to eventually have this problem, too, say, if Sony just stops supporting it? For what it's worth, the PS3 received a new firmware update in December of 2020 which included additional bluray software update to support newer movies. For reference, the PS3 first released in 2006, the PS4 released in late-2013, and the final PS3s were shipped in 2016 in North America and mid-2017 in Japan. So North American software update is still going strong more than four years after the product was discontinued here and at least five to six years after it was back-burnered by Sony. Throughout both of their lives, Playstation 3 and 4 have been really well supported with respect to blu-rays, which makes sense when you realize that they have a huge install base and a continued incentive for system software updates from the manufacturer. I'd wager that your PS4 will break before it stops playing newly-released blurays.

Poldarn posted:I got a lordship of Sealand as a christmas present and I enjoyed it immensely. If purchasing nobility is something your interested in, I'd recommending researching the philosophies of each organization. Sealand is pretty much thumbing their nose at English nobility, because if I can make titles, how legitimate are historical English titles? Someone had to make it all up at some point, why can't I? When I was a kid, we had an island that I declared myself the prince of. If I ever get another, I'd be the grand duke of it. Never wanted to be a king -- that title never appealed to me. An absolute waste of money that could go towards a better cause, I agree, but I waste money enough on garbage and this would fleetingly make me happy.

PersonFromPorlock posted:Yeah, that's the general idea. I'd like a county for fun -- not for any other reason -- and Sealand fascinates me for some bizarre reason. The Grand Duchy of Pomerania and Livonia is just so damned transparently fake, whereas Sealand seems to be something, even if that something is just a massive joke at the expense of the English. A county isn't much money -- $347.49, with all the trimmings. I could buy it now, or I could save up my mad money for two or three months and cover it then, feeling even less bad at the expense. It’s been empirically shown that experiences tend to cause greater fluctuations in happiness than things, so make it an experience. If you have friends and loved ones who are willing to play along, make a day of it (COVID restrictions permitting of course). Make yourself a wooden scepter and read out a proclamation of your ascension in a party or even just to a room full of stuffed animals, and wrap the day up with your favorite meal. Write down the date and be sure to do an anniversary celebration each year. Yes it’s a little frivolous but for example I didn’t need to buy that video game console either and that cost more than what you’re looking at spending. If you can afford this, and it is meaningful to you, then go for it.

I know when you go skiing and such you’re supposed to wear sunscreen and sunglasses because of the sunlight reflected off the snow. I live across the street from a big park, which gets covered with snow in the winter. Do I need to put UV filters on my windows or something for the sunlight reflected off the snow in the park? If it matters, my windows onto the park face north.

Also it's not just because the sun is reflected by the snow, but more importantly, that when you're skiing you're generally high up in the mountains so there's a lot less atmosphere between you and the sun. A lot more UV reaches you than it would at sea level.

Anodized aluminum is nice and lasts longer / doesn't deposit teflon in your stomach, I've enjoyed the basic calphalon ones Then of course there's cast iron, which takes some work to make / maintain non stickness but will last a lifetime

Quabzor posted:My wife has a couple of them and just washes them with towels/sheets and hers have stayed really soft. poo poo, it's probably the well water doing it, then. We have enough towels that we basically wash them all together in cold water every two weeks, no softeners or anything. I thought maybe there was something about makeup and jojoba oil making my fancy face towels go lovely super-fast. I kept seeing reviews from people who said they just toss theirs and buy new ones whenever they lose their softness and that felt super wasteful to me. I'll try an extended vinegar soak before their next wash, hopefully that'll do the trick.

Tinder isn't working out. What would be good alternatives to tinder if I can't get a match there without paying $70? There's an online dating thread over E/N if you need some pointers on creating a profile or a profile critique. I personally would just say gently caress it and not even bother with online dating, but I'm basically a bitter husk who's given up on finding love in my lifetime. We're a year almost a year deep into this loving pandemic and nobody is particularly thrilled about it in my experience. Do you really need a car/driver's license in your area? I haven't owned a car in 10 years and just ride my bike everywhere I need to go like the poor person I am. Just be honest, forthcoming, and try not to come across as desperate. "I NEED a date" is not a good look or endearing in my experience, so don't do that is my advice. The thread in E/N will probably be more helpful and insightful though.

You'll want to post in the dating thread because it will be helpful if you can post about what you are doing now and why you feel like you'll be SOL if you don't find a date soon, and then you can get more detailed feedback from the users there.

Tinder isn't working out. What would be good alternatives to tinder if I can't get a match there without paying $70? I'd say you're very much not hosed? Both in a literal and metaphorical sense. This is more of an E/N thing, but the short version is to not worry about it. Having dates is not essential for anything. Your best bet is inventing somewhere where you'll meet women, a hobby of some kind. Make sure it's something you want to do and preferably obsess a bit over, but it doesn't hurt to think of something other than wanky metal guitar where the odds of meeting women are low. My friend has super good experience with knitting, especially in public, but he's also kinda hot. Join some local communities on Facebook, that sort of stuff. What I'm also saying is, remember to be someone who someone else would want to date.
