Public health recommendations aren’t medical advice though. The advice agencies give is given to everyone and so has to take things like supply chains and the economy into consideration before making recommendations.


I haven’t done it myself but I’ve heard of people harvesting LiDAR units from their old/broken robot vacuums.


Fewer crimes are committed when the weather is bad since criminals avoid going out like everyone else.


Even if they don’t share a computer you can still set up their own computers in a shared space. We don’t put tvs in bedrooms either just to keep those rooms for reading/sleeping. Added bonus of keeping computers in common spaces is that your kids won’t disappear into their rooms one day and never come back out.


Dollar Tree regular items aren’t all $1.25 anymore. Maybe half of what I’ve purchased there recently (mostly craft/gift wrap/party supplies) have changed to $1.50 or $1.75. If you grab multiple of the same item each one can ring up a different price.


In the US you can buy 100+ tests from Quest Labs directly, the price even includes a discussion with MD about the results.


I hate ads and avoid them, but haven’t had to install an ad blocker yet. I only really notice them when searching for recipes, and if I had to go through that multiple times a day I probably would get an ad blocker. I do pay for YouTube to avoid ads, and don’t watch much user generated content because it’s too ad-like imo. I quit podcasts 3 years ago, because those ads made them become unlistenable just like terrestrial radio and I just can’t go back to that kind of listening experience. I started listening to audiobooks instead and don’t miss podcasts at all.


The amount of aluminum in a satellite matters because of the effect it has on the atmosphere when it burns up during reentry.


Just to point that we don't actually know how important it is.

It can be completely irrelevant, or it can be something that must be regulated ASAP. Nobody has any idea.

(Well, we have an upper bond in that current numbers are still not an immediate problem.)


You should try diatomaceous earth, it gets rid of anything with an exoskeleton and is even food safe. Just don’t breathe it in or get it in your eyes. It takes a while to settle from the air if you use a bellows type applicator.


Thanks. This is the next step, but I was told not to use it indoors. Maybe that isn't correct.


I love this app, but after going back to review some of the rare birds I’ve noticed that many of my saved recordings have inexplicably disappeared.

I do wish it could also identify other insects/animals. I originally got the app to identify whatever bird sounded like a squeaky door or wooden swing, and eventually saw that it was a squirrel.
