My mother gave me some skirts she doesn’t wear anymore, and a couple of them are pretty cute. The problem is they are too big for me. So how do I make them not too big?
The Biden administration is proposing a ban on TCE, a highly toxic chemical commonly used in stain removers, adhesives and degreasers, and which had been found to be contaminating drinking water on a wide scale across the US.
More people should be taking care of their vitamin D levels. It’s a really common deficiency.
Getting enough fat is easy, but my vegan recipes are the only ones that I intentionally add extra oil to fix the macros. It’s just easier to eat a reasonable amount of fat on a vegan diet compared to a constant excess in a non vegan diet.
I’m thinking of ending things (rottentomatoes.com/…/im_thinking_of_ending_things), 82% critic score, 49% audience score. This movie takes “it makes you think” to a whole new dimension. It’s two hours and fourteen minutes of melancholic confusion, wondering if you missed something important, then it’s over without ever really resolving anything. You’re on your own to connect the dots and make sense of the movie, or more likely you’ll have to do additional research to figure out what the plot actually was. I don’t regret watching it, but I also can’t recommend it.
Red Notice (www.rottentomatoes.com/m/red_notice), 39% critic score, 92% audience score. Bland, forgettable plot with cool effects. Explosions, The Rock, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds. A fun, enjoyable movie to stream on a weeknight, but not something I would have paid to see in theaters.
Are those the coils that cause an inflammatory response to block the fallopian tubes? There are some horror stories about the reactions they can cause in some people.
Drank 3 beers and 1 shot of whiskey last night like a law abiding citizen instead of smoking weed. Holy fucking shit hangovers are worse than I remember. Fuck everyone fighting to keep weed illegal. They’re all subhuman trash.
I absolutely agree. I liked a lot about this game, but not enough to actually finish it. Combat was just frustrating, especially going from feeling powerful to powerless seemingly at random.
I think I got this game for around half price. Despite my criticisms, I still feel like I got my money’s worth out of it. Definitely recommended at $10.

I’ve been using my coffee syphon for a year+ now. It became a ritual for me and it makes a good cup. The past month or so I’ve run into a problem that I can’t find any answers to, hoping someone here has seen this....
What you describe sounds exactly like a partially clogged filter. If you’re using a metal screen filter, try giving it a thorough scrub and wash with dish soap.
Note that stirring can actually make the “grinds blocking” effect worse rather than better in some setups.
I appreciate seeing games referred to as soulslike. Immediate hard pass. The genre has a lot to offer and I see why so many people like the games, but for some reason I just really don’t ever want my own skills as a player to determine the outcome of combat.

The article mentions some concerns about still allowing HOAs to require homeowners to submit plans for approval, but in my experience just mentioning the state law is enough to get any denial overturned.
Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.
Some android messaging apps have the ability to interpret emoji reactions and display them correctly. The issue with photo and video quality is infuriating, though.

Sounds bad to be so judgemental, but day after day at the park, the most misbehaved dogs tend to be owned by those who sit at dog parks and chat, smoke, bring random lawn chairs etc…...
Owners that are sitting are giving their dog a space to be territorial over. If they’re standing and walking, the dog will be on guard for their owner, but not necessarily territorial. I haven’t noticed any correlation with breed, but the ones you mentioned are definitely some of the repeat offenders.
Without looking at your links, there is no reason any new laptop wouldn’t be able to run any distro. If it’s capable of running windows, it will absolutely be capable of running Linux. The only hardware-ish issue I can think of that would impact that is how the HDD/SSD is formatted, but getting the file system correct is a routine step of any OS install.
Are there any specific hardware concerns you have about the laptop?
I’m out of room for breakers in my main breaker box, so would like to add 6-breaker sub-panel to install mini-splits, an outdoor electrical outlet, lighting, etc. What’s the correct way to mount an exterior sub-panel on a house with lapped hardie-board siding?...
Your first idea is correct. You’ll likely need spacers to allow the screws for the box to tighten properly. I installed a heavy hose reel on similar siding using that method.
Personally I would consult with an electrician for a job like this, but I’m also not comfortable doing any electrical work more serious than hanging a ceiling fan.
New to plants and moved some to my office. I just noticed these things that look like bug eggs. What are they? Should I remove them?.https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/fc6aaf6d-1472-487c-a1b1-1bdbd50bd5c5.jpeg

Last Epoch is in a pretty great place currently if you like the ARPG genre. It’s still in beta/early access, but it should have its full 1.0 launch within the next year. For me, it’s the perfect middle ground of complexity between D3/4 and PoE.

You could also compare the number of insurrectionists per capita to the expected number. For example, state x has 4% of the country’s population but 6% of the insurrectionists.
Solarizing is the easiest way to do this, but it takes a lot of patience. Depending on your area you may need to start now to have your site ready for spring planting. Search for a guide on exactly how to do it, but basically you cover the grass in clear plastic to create a greenhouse effect that will kill the grass and any seeds. You water before putting down the plastic to encourage seeds to germinate. Once you’re done (four weeks minimum, more is better) you remove the plastic and plant your plants.
Depending on the type of grass you have, tilling may not be effective. It also may be very difficult if your area is as rocky as you say it is.
Another option is to use a shovel to dig up strips of sod and flip them over. This should be almost as effective as solarizing, but it’s much faster (no waiting) and much harder work.
If you have the time to do it, it’s absolutely the best and easiest way. It’s hard to postpone landscape projects, but doing them in the right season is setting up your project for success. Good luck, and don’t forget to take progress pictures!
