Noted!

Yep. It sucks. My doc joked that we all have rocks in our heads, har har.

It can sometimes be treated with a simple technique (more info below, also mentioned in the article above). When it works, it brings amazing relief.

Unfortunately it doesn’t always work. An ENT specialist can help you with it.

Thank you for posting this! There is a local spices place I really like, but they have stopped producing almost everything. They’re down to a couple of blends.

Is there a go-to herb, spice, or blend from Penzeys you’d recommend for holiday gifts?

Much smaller user base, distributed servers, modern code (versus reddit’s ancient code), less enshittification in the code (reddit’s various manipulative algorithms).

And all things Meta.

Reads like some LinkedIn posts I’ve seen.

Focus on the lost revenue for small businesses owners. That’s all these shitfuck Republicans care about.

I prefer lemmys to lemmings, but I think we got out voted.

But did you know, that when it snows, my eyes become large and the light that you shine can’t be seen?

Sorry, couldn’t resist. I like him, too.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Sorry to hear this.

An internet forum like Lemmy is not the best place for medical advice. Most diseases can vary significantly from person to person. Lupus comes in multiple forms. The musician Seal has a form of lupus, and he’s 61. Autoimmune disorders are very complicated, because the immune system is very complicated.

Your doctor should be able to give you guidance and “what to expect” type information. If there is a patient portal or email you can use, be proactive and reach out to your doctor with your questions. If you’re in the USA, patients very much have to actively navigate this stuff, and advocate for themselves. Your doctor might give you a pamphlet or booklet. Read it.

I’ve never put much stock in the “we are living in a simulation” but stories like this make me wonder if one of the sim developer’s kids is in here doing stuff.

Too many variables. There’s two types of test, antigen and PCR. The chemical reactions in both can be impacted by ambient temperature and humidity, light exposure, air pressure (altitude), air quality (contaminants) and so on. At-home testing is far from lab conditions. False positives and false negatives are possible. I wouldn’t put any stock in the timing.

There are thousands of possible reasons and many of them won’t have anything to do with you. There are fake job postings. There are many jobs where the hiring manager already has someone in mind for the job (but they have to check the required boxes and pretend to open the position to any candidate). Another candidate may have gone to the same school or been in a frat with the hiring manager. The list goes on and on.

20 years ago I would have said invest regularly in an index fund.

Today I think you should learn all you can about DIY water filtration and growing edible mushrooms in caves.

Can you do trains instead? Having ridden thousands of miles in busses I can tell you it gets extremely cramped and uncomfortable, and this gets worse the longer you’re on it. Sleeper trains in the US and Canada are really nice. Not sure about Europe.

Varies a lot by brand. Some brands started whipping more air into the chemical slurry they call ice cream in order it to rip us off. You can tell by the weight. Try the heavier pints.

Humans love recognizable patterns and symmetry. Rhymes sound alike, and when coupled with meter, help make the words “stick” in our memory. We also like artificial things that are easily distinguishable from the chaos and entropy of the natural world. We enjoy our feeble attempts at imposing order.

I’ve occasionally seen the exclamation mark put inside of parentheses. I interpret it as the writer saying to the reader, “are you seeing this shit?”

Anyway, not sure if that’s what you’re going for here.

I get a creeper vibe off of him, but I don’t think he did anything artificial to his eyelashes. Some guys just look like that. Derek Carr. Néstor Carbonell.
