What's the consensus on an electric trimmer that can handle both men's scruff (from 0.1 to 1.0 mm) as well as mowin' the lawn down there, if you know what I mean. I see the Phillips OneBlade which I've heard goons rave about in terms of clean shaves, but I keep a small amount of scruff year-round.

Mrs. Pointer has sent me goonward for recommendations on scents to cover up the smell of our dogs in the room they hang out in, during the day. In the main living space, I have a pretty massive BlueAir air purifier that runs at turbo speed overnight and at medium speed during the day. I suggested getting something smaller for the library, where the doggles hang out in the daytime, but she's saying she wants to do something less expensive and visually obtrusive (the BlueAir is pretty large, admittedly), and go with some sort of scent. The problem is that I am highly sensitive to strong smells; I've made her throw away numerous kinds of dry shampoo, hidden away vaporizers for essential oils, and covered up scented candles. So my hopes of this working out are not high, but, hey -- here I am. Anyone with pets discovered anything for odor control that doesn't involve making the house smell like a boudoir?

El Mero Mero posted:Smells often hang around in fabrics most strongly, so take a look at what the dogs are lying on in that room. You can replace any of the fabrics or dog beds with things that are more easily washed or which resist smell impregnation. Excellent advice. This is what I'm going to be pursuing. Thank you!

Well, normally I would have said "are you trying to kill me and my family?" with the ozone machine suggestions, but last night my wife decided to set a bag of microwave popcorn on fire, and the smell is still lingering. Maybe an ozone generator is in my future after all.

Looking for a remote outlet switch that is "programmable" in the sense that I can have multiple plugs being activated/deactivated by a single button. Everything I've seen, so far, has a separate button for each outlet, and I'm looking to have multiple lamps turn on with a single push.

Unfortunately, the plugs that I want to trigger are in opposite corners of the room, so short of getting multiple long extension cords, plugging them into a single power strip, and then plugging that into a remote plug, that won't work.

My Frigidaire dishwasher, which has not been the most reliable for years, appears to be finally on its way out. Is there a solid middle of the road option that is generally agreed to be solid?

The Sawtooth with medium-high arch inserts are pretty much the perfect shoe, for me. I think I'm on my 3rd or 4th pair. I recommend trying inserts, if you're noticing some weirdness edit: just saw that you said the crease was pressing down onto your toes, which implies that you have large toes, and you might need something with a larger toe box.

Harriet Carker posted:Can anyone recommend a light therapy lamp? It seems like from some brief research I just need anything with a full spectrum bulb? A light therapy lamp is one thing I would not cheap out on. You need to be getting a very precise amount of light, at a very precise distance, and it generally needs to be angled down (something about where the light receptors are in your eye). I went ham and got this one. It's big, it's stupid, it's kind of creaky and not super sturdy, but I have absolutely zero complaints about the brightness and color of the light: Carex Day-Light Classic Plus Bright Light Therapy Lamp - 10,000 LUX At 12 Inches - LED Sun Lamp Mood Light and Sunlight Lamp https://a.co/d/7TaUwxV

Oh, absolutely. My reticence to go cheap is because light therapy lamps are not regulated. You can put up "10,000 lux!" on Amazon, with no consequences. I bought a reputable brand, recommended by several publications, in the hopes that my money was buying quality (and actually 10,000 lux). That 19.99 therapy box that you're getting at Walmart? Probably isn't doing it. Caveat emptor as always.

In short, yes. There's a bunch of articles on NIH / PubMed, that support bright light therapy as being a first line treatment for seasonal affective disorder. This isn't like blue light filters, or other stuff like that. As always, your mileage may vary, and placebo effects are real. But it's generally the first thing a doctor will do when you notice that you're getting depressed or anxious in the winter.

My daughter's trying to learn to play Terraria with a mouse and keyboard, but she's having problems with the mouse. I think it's just too large, so she has to use her big muscle groups in her arm to haul the thing around. I was wondering if maybe she had something smaller where her fingers touch could the desk, she could use the smaller muscles in her hand. Basically, what I'm asking is, does anybody have a recommendation for a tiny mouse that's good for a 6-year-old?

Thank you for all of the suggestions for mice - I ended up grabbing two travel mice off of Amazon and will see which one works. I also like the idea of dropping the sensitivity down and giving her lots of space to actually use big arm movements. Good idea, that. New request. I have an Ikea Knappstad mattress that's been slowly sagging, for years. I picked up a mattress reinforcement pad but it's actually too much reinforcement. I wake up as if I was sleeping on the floor. Is there a way to prop up the mattress a little without going whole hog?

For the love of Christ, someone please recommend me a pixel 6 pro screen protector. I was using the white stone dome protector, and while it was really good once you got it installed, getting there is an enormous pain in the rear end. I've installed it three times, with each package having two protectors in it. The first two boxes, the first protector was always sacrificial, because either dust got on the screen before I got the protector on, the adhesive didn't distribute correctly, there wasn't enough adhesive to distribute across the entire screen, bubbles on the edges never disappeared, or whatnot. This most recent time, both of the protectors in the package didn't install correctly. I haven't been fist-clenchingly frustrated in years, and it was because of this stupid thing. I tried to use some random company's zero-effort screen protector that I got out of Amazon, but it's garbage. No sensitivity, you can literally see the different thickness glass where the fingerprint detector goes, just garbage. Is there anything out there which has sensitivity and durability, while not looking like trash and also not requiring the hands of an explosive ordinance disposal specialist?

I ended up getting the Caseology Vault, which feels good in my hand. Reasonably solid and nicely textured. Thank you for the recommendations!
