i am trying to transfer my photos in icloud to google photos. there's a formal way to do this, detailed here: https://support.google.com/photos/answer/10502587?hl=en i can log on to apple's site fine. i can tell apple i want to transfer my photos and videos to google photos. my browser then opens up a new window, but it immediately closes. this window is a google login from the split second i can see it. how on earth do i get the window to stay open? i've tried opening it as a new tab rather than a window, but that closes immediately too, which i've never seen. any idea what's happening here?

Robins nest super early so if you wait until early spring you run the risk of the house being claimed already. Yngwie Mangosteen posted:Both of those lay fairly early, if you remove the nests before March you should be set for not disrupting eggs but you might mess with their cycle. The poster above talking about the fall is your safest best bet but mid summer is likely late enough too, birds like this fledge fairly quickly. Thanks! I don't think it's in such dire straights that it won't make it through summer, but maybe I'll put in a small support post or two to be sure. And I do have a regular seed-style feeder and a suet block holder for them. I don't get too much variety, mostly robins and small brown birds (again, I assume a chickadee or thrush of some kind? maybe finches?) But I do also see some blue jays and cardinals from time to time, and some yellow and black birds that may be a type of finch? I should get some sort o bird guide, but I'm ALREADY a guy in his 40's who's into a lot of odd hobbies, I can't afford to add birding to the list.

If you want a nice easy/casual way to tell them apart, you can download the Merlin bird app from the University of Cornell. It IDs birds based on sound. Hear your birds making noise? Take a recording and the app gives you an ID. I've learned a bunch of birds that live up here (Southern New England) by using that.

I have some pills that say to take them at the same time every day; the instructions say that if you forget you shouldn't take a double-dose the next day, just your regular dose. But what if I only forget for a couple of hours? If I normally take them at 13:00, is it fine to take them at 15:00? What about 20:00? What's the cut-off point for "skip today and carry on tomorrow"? Generally speaking, I mean; I realise that the answer could be different for different medications.

That sounds like a question for your doctor, not random idiots on the internet. The answer is gonna depend on the specific meds in question and your specific health situation, including any other meds you're taking and a bunch of other personal info that your doctor knows but we probably don't.

Most medications you would just take them late and it doesn't really matter. If they're meds with sleep interference (like ADHD meds or something) then you would skip the dose for the day usually. It depends on the specific medication though.

Tiggum posted:If it actually comes up I'll call nurse on call. As of now I'm just curious and don't want to waste their time with some hypothetical. I don't know how common this is internationally but if I have a non-urgent health question I can just login to the secure patient portal of my GP and drop a question there, and a nurse will reply whenever they have some time between tasks. Very nice low barrier way of asking stuff like this. Another thing you can do is ask your pharmacy next time you go pick up a new box of your prescription. They don't know your health context but they should know a lot of stuff about safe medicine usage.

Oh drat, yeah I should get that because there's these birds I always hear that have such a distinctive call, I want to know what they are. I've tried searching for it based on loose descriptions of their call, but to no avail. FTR, it really, REALLY sounds like the bird is saying: "Petticoat, petticoat, petticoat...tomato, tomato, tomato."

Weird question regarding plastic surgery, specifically nose jobs. I've noticed lately (well, lately being like the last 10-15 years) a lot of nose jobs I've seen where I can tell there's some work done (chief examples are a lot of women on those Real Housewives shows) where not only is the bridge of the nose shave/slimmed down ( I assume, I haven't seen the "before" on a lot of these women) but the end of the nose always ends up a little "upturned." Not QUITE a full on pig-nose (at least for most people,) but definitely noticeably more "up" than it was. The best example I can give off the top of my head, especially because there is plenty of before and after of her, is Erin Moriarty (Starlight from The Boys.) My actual question: Is the "upturned nose" part a DESIERABLE quality/sometimes the surgeon/patient WANT to do? Or is it more a "side effect"/unintended result that HAS to be there because the work that was done on the bridge of the nose resulted in the skin/bone/cartilage/whatever shortening up, or something, and pulling up on the end of the nose?

Huh, she had plastic surgery done? I wonder what you mean because she doesn't have that typical nose at all and she's really beautiful so that must've been a drat skilled plastic surgeon. *googles* Oh, she had work done since The Boys  Eta: I don't want this to come off as shaming her or anything. I'm just surprised someone would change their appearance that drastically in between seasons of of a show you're most known for now. Could also be the make up in the pictures I see of her and in reality and with the same make up for the show the difference is less stark, idk Taeke fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Jan 18, 2024 |

I just had a conversation with a very wealthy younger woman (Early 20's, family is huge in politics, had a dumb ammount of ranches/mines/farms etc all over the world) about her nose job. Everyone in her family has the same little upturned button nose, and all of them did it intentionally. Atleast in her family/friend group it's part of "the look". I do have to say I didn't realize she had work done on her nose until she brough it up. Maybe I'm bad at spotting platic surgery, or its just because I hadn't known her before hand. So yeah, I guess the upturned nose is a thing the kids are doing these days.

Not just kids. The first time I noticed it seemed to be a trend was noticing that about half the women on those Real Housewives shows have identical faces. Same three things: "Button" nose job (I guess that's the nicer way of putting it than pig noses, but it's clear to me they are NOT a "natural" button nose) Buccal fat removal Lip fillers I did some searching and sometimes it IS a side effect that wasn't necessarily part of the initial goal: https://www.drphilipmiller.com/upturned-piggy-nose/#:~:text=Some%20patients%20may%20notice%20they,should%20help%20resolve%20the%20issue.

So now I'm thinking it started as a unintended side effect but then became popular as a signifier for being wealthy enough to get your nose done and people started liking the look?

I looked up before and after of that lady and that's just a natural nose shape culturally associated with white femininity and youth. Beauty standards are still pretty strongly racialized and nose jobs are one of the classic ones that are super common among the class of Westerner who can afford that kind of thing. There are still a lot of families that get their daughters a nose job for their 16th birthday party, it's more common than you might think. Buccal fat removal is obviously just downstream from the ultra skinny post 90s beauty standards that hosed everyone up so bad. I feel like a lot of people who get that one really don't end up looking too good afterwards but I guess it's their face to do with at they please.

Does a nose job generally affect anything beyond appearance? I know it's usually done for cosmetic reasons, but I don't know if it would affect your nose breathing, or something like that. I'm also kind of wondering how much that hurts; they're basically slicing your face into shape, right?

I think the end result is perfectly functional with modern surgeries but the recovery period is kinda lovely. We've got painkillers for that though so it's hardly the limiting factor for anyone who thinks their nose needs to be cut into shape.
