People always focus on the “Lady jerks off dolphin”, part of the story, not the ‘Noted Psychoanalyist and developer of the first sensory deprivation chamber has employee jerk off dolphin as part of a research programme that was funded to see if human-dolphin communication was possible, whilst high on LSD’
John C Lilly really fuckin liked dolphins😅
I’m really trying to remember what I did, but I got steam playing ball with my NTFS drives without issue…
Both on steamdeck using an SD card formatted to NTFS, and on a manjaro/windows dual boot with an NTFS shared drive…
Genuinely don’t remember how I did it… I want to say something to do with symlinks…
I assume you’ve come across and tried this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows
If you can pee on that without spilling then you have much greater control than I, haha
This guy gets why I was initially misunderstanding
Lmao, the false outrage over me not knowing that they use the same form factor for more than one test…
I’d only ever come across it for COVID tests, the only pregnancy tests I’ve interacted with/seen advertised have been the stick versions.
The UK COVID test were all using this plastic moulding (minus the embossed letters) and I’ve never seen a pregnancy test that wasn’t a stick that you pee on?
And if you’re aware that it says hCG (which I admittedly missed before commenting), then I think you answered your own question…
If this isn’t a joke; this looks like a COVID test to me…
Edit: TIL they use that form factor for other tests/and that not all modern pregnancy tests are sticks that you pee on…
This definitely sounds like a “You can’t logic someone out of a position they didn’t logic themselves into”
Silly suggestion, and no idea if it will work, but it’s an easy one to test;
Get some cooking/vegetable oil, and see if it will help dissolve the residue by putting a bit on some kitchen towel and either scrubbing with the oiled paper towel or leaving that towel on the residue for 10 mins and seeing if the grease has softened.
If the oil does seem to dissolve/soften the grease residue then you can add some bicarb/salt to act as gentle abrasive as it won’t dissolve in the oil as it would do in water
I’ve used cooking oil to dissolve tar/bitumen paint from my skin and clothes before and you can then use soap to clear the dissolved tar in oil.
Otherwise use a kitchen degreaser like you’d clean a traditional oven with.
I imagine what’s happening with the oil is something akin to polymerization, so you either need to break the polymers bonds or dissolve in a suitable solvent
This should really be the canary in the coal mine for just how bad things are going to get.
Outta curiosity what is a Keto cough drop?
I mean I don’t think there are any high protein cough drops, but I’m pretty sure you can get sugar free cough drops… You can atleast definitely get sugar free boiled sweets, a couple of type 1 diabetics I know have them, and you get them at the checkouts here as shops aren’t allowed to put sugary snacks at the checkouts.
And in regards to getting proteins that are atleast in stock, lentils and peas/beans are pretty good sources of proteins, I’ve seen people make some good looking keto friendly naan breads/flat breads using pea protein (IIRC), have you tried anything like that?
You’d be able to, but you would need to either insulate the interior with PIR, or clad the exterior with PIR insulation.
Admittedly my property is a 1960’s brick build with wall cavities, but we’re build on the side of a hill with soil retaining walls so we aren’t the most efficient property, though overboarding the walls has made a big difference. There is a lot of improvements people could do even remaining on a gas boiler.
IMHO, exterior cladding and insulation seems to be the best option for actually making the properties warmer with minimal disruption to living in them, alongside upgrading fibreglass insulation in the loft spaces.
We have gotten a heat pump installed and it’s doing a good job so far, and that’s without a lot of the main upgrades to the insulation don’t, unfortunately the installers have been a pain in the ass.
Occult Rock; it’s the transition somewhere between psychedelic rock and heavy metal.
Relatively unknown nowadays but it you like psych or heavy metal you’ll probably enjoy it.
Lots of powerful, bluesy, female vocals.

Not excusing anyone here, but I’m curious where you got the 1.5million dead from?
Wikipedia seems to suggest that combined total losses from the (edit) first Gulf war and the uprising following to be about 500,000 casualties, from all sides, including civilians and combatants.
And to put into perspective, Saddamn killed/massacred/genocided between ~155,000 and ~480,000, many of whom were killed by the use of chemical weapons during this period. Entire villages of Kurds were genocided.
Hmm, that’s interesting but IIRC Tyrosine itself isn’t all that sour when tasted, nor are really any other amino acids I can think of aside from possibly Taurine, I assumed it was a small amount of hydrolysis of the acetyl group was occurring to enable the taste difference, but if you’ve got some more context I’d love to hear it
Get some malic acid if you want it to be a different type of sour, or tartaric acid if you want it to be more tart.
Oh actually other suggestions; buy some N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (Often called NALT), it’s incredibly sour and slightly sweet, once again different from from the fruit acids (malic, citric, tartaric). NALT is a precursor to Tyrosine an amino acid. You need only the tiniest amount on the tongue to get the affect. The sourness is from the acetyl group, and I think the slight sweetness is from the tyrosine/or the complete structure, as related compounds are used as artificial sweeteners.
Huh, I’ve got a collection of not necessarily dangerous, but hard to find chemicals. DCM (methylene chloride) is still something I’ve been unable to find. It’s an incredibly useful solvent especially for adhering bitumen felt to itself.
Never been too concerned with fumes at typical temperatures (higher temperatures required for PETG and the effect of those temps on PTFE bowdern tubes are a different box of frogs), but stringing getting pulled into the extruder fans scares the crap out of me as it basically becomes an ultra fine dust that builds up in the air and eventually settles waiting to be disturbed.
I’ve run into this problem also with both a 2.4Ghz mouse and a 2.4Ghz mouse and keyboard combo, never really quite realised that it was to do with the hub, but had clocked that an extension lead corrects it for some reason!
Thank for pointing this out as it means I actually know to put the dongles on extension leads, I always thought it was something to do with a weird grounding issue on a cheap hub or something
