Golbez posted:I have a nascent ear infection coming on that I've been trying to stave off. I've been popping sugar-free cough drops like tic-tacs the last two days, mostly for comfort but also to cut down on coughing. I went through a whole bag of 25 in one day. Could having this much mentholyptus (and whatever else) in my system potentially be bad? I doubt it, but honestly I don't know the answer to that question. The bag would have some sort of warning if there were a chance of O.D., I'd assume. What I wanted to say was I think you should get some sudafed (or similar stuff) and use that, not cough drops.

If I had a belt saw, I'd be using that instead of a hacksaw, which is probably going to be beat to poo poo by the time I get through this thing. How about a dremel and a cutting wheel?

A few years ago I had a stopped up feeling ear that I just ignored for a week or two and it ended up bursting my ear drum.  The Doc told me I was prone to ear infections and should use sudafed when there was an issue, so I thought I should pass it along. Bursting ear drums are not a pleasant feeling.

Before moving to Iowa in 2007, I'd had one ear infection ever. Since then, I've had at least five, two of which were among the most painful experiences in my life. It was only after the fourth that I discovered that civilian Sudafed is absolutely useless, and since then I only use the stuff you have to sign for. My 'goal' is to get two ear infections in one month such that I hit the legal limit for buying meth-grade Sudafed. I wonder if opening my mouth and showing them my throat would count as a waiver. ... then again, I'm sure there'd be some freaks who would keep themselves sick deliberately just to score more cooking materials.

It's possible that the aggravation of pollen and whatnot could be contributing to ear infection. Also, try afrin if you get stopped up. It is perfectly safe when used as directed (i.e. don't use it for more than three days or whatever the box says).

I suppose I should start taking allergy medication just as a precaution. It's like it attacks my ear first, skipping my nose. I woke up Saturday morning with a sore throat and a mostly clear nose. In fact, my ear infections almost always manifest only as an intensely sore throat, and then progressing to nasal stuff, etc., with me feeling an urge to pop my ears, but the actual symptoms are centered in my throat.

I had ear pain and it made my ear hurt even after it got better, for a couple years then once a day pain twinges for another year or two. I waited a couple days before I went and got it checked, it was really bad. Seconding the 'get it checked asap'. Also, a friend of mine's dad is an ENT, and he said to me once: when you have an ear problem, don't gently caress around, go to an ENT immediately.

If it's to the point where he can barely hear, the OTC stuff isn't gonna work well. He's gonna have to get a good flushing at the doctor's. The hearing sensations you get after the wax washes off is incredible; enjoy it.

Kharmakazy posted:May as well replace that copper piping anyhow... isnt there something newere than pvc they are using now... I'll pick up a handman book and see how bad I can gently caress it up until I need a plumber. Go for it; it's rewarding. So much of plumbing is really just having the right tool and a very small amount of knowledge. I'm loving useless, mechanically, and I've replaced sections of copper pipe All By Myself -after doing it with someone else a couple times. The keys are absolute dryness (blowtorch and the right angle), flux, a circular pipe cutter ($3-4), solder (that's the daunting-sounding part; it ain't) , and the fittings. Old plumber's trick: jam some crust-free Wonder Bread™ up in the pipe to sponge up water that is trickling down to destroy your soldering job. It will just dissolve and disappear eventually. ^As you say though, that stuff has all been obviated, mostly. Just use some PVC; it will be even easier -just less interesting. Also, there is someone at your local hardware store (not the big box) that would love to tell you all about it. Q: 2D Bar codes: If I want to make a 2d bar code that will take a phone from a poster to a URL of mine, how do I do that? Googling is turning up all kinds of conflicting stuff. Is there some kind of ICANN type of registrar that databases the info or is it purely mathematical or what?

I had really good luck with store-brand Oxyclean. I had all of my clothes go through the dryer with an exploded pen, and I managed to salvage most of them by dumping a whole bunch of Oxyclean in the washer and running them through with that. I wasn't able to save everything, though, so YMMV.

There's a very high chance it's just ear wax buildup. Even if you're sure your ears are clean. Get an ear syringe, fill it with warm water and go nuts squirting it in your ear over and over. There's a good chance that will clear it up.

Thanks guys, I found that very same site with some better googlings and it works like a charm. I guess I was thinking that it was more like UCPs that had to be registered to work, rather than just that simple data like a URL can all be contained in that graphic. Reality is loving easily mediated these days. It probably seems like old hat to many, but it's kind of mind-blowing to me.

I need to do some tagging of mp3s in OS X. I got spoiled by the auto lookup feature in Tag&Rename, and I cannot get my PC online; only my Mac. Are there any taggers for OS X that actually lookup up the info on the internet? I do not want to hand enter tag info, I want the tagger to enter the info for me. (Every time I ask this in the Mac Software thread, a bunch of people suggest a bunch of programs that are not taggers, but ID3 editors only.

Nuclear Spoon posted:http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Picard I appreciate the suggestion, but.. Tag&rename works by hooking into Amazon (and FreeDB if they are still around) and recognizes the CD without fail. For foreign language CDs you can choose which country's Amazon to use so you get the titles in the native language if you can read it, or in a romanized form if you do not. What Tag&Rename is so completely effective it seems a shame that no one has written a program that does this for the Mac. I have Tag&Rename but I do not have a Japanese capable windows computer to use it on. (All my BootCamp installs are corrupted, and other peoples computers are not set up to rad Japanese..) I tired Picard but it still tries to recognize each individual song, rather than the album as a whole, and apparently knows none of the music I am trying to tag.

What's better for your credit, in terms of a charge card for a store that you haven't shopped at in years? Leave it active, close it, or does it matter? Obviously don't open cards you don't plan to use just because your friend is an employee there and he bugged you to get it, but uh, what now? (Clarification to save face: This is not me/my card)

Google's URL shortener http://goo.gl can create QR codes as well. Just create your goog.gl URL, then append .qr to the end for the QR code. So if your code is goo.gl/abcd, just enter in goog.gl/abcd.qr and you'll get a QR code for your URL. What's nice about Google URL shortener is that is tracks click and scans, so you can see who is using your code in real time.

Ask your doctor if either of those might work for you. Flonase is available in generic and is thus probably going to be cheaper.

So I discovered an HDMI port on the back of my computer. My first thought was "oh man, I could hook this the hell up to my gigantic TV then play games with style". Then I inspected my TV and saw no HDMI port of it's own. What sort of sorcery am I going to have to accomplish to achieve this incredibly stupid dream? Google suggests a simple hdmi-to-svideo/composite doesn't exist (at least, what I could find). Am I going to need a converter box?
