Today was the second time this year I’d thrown out my back. The back muscle spasms are so bad it puts me in entirely different state of mind. It’s due to the amount of brain piercing bursts of pains I experience. Transferring from the floor to the couch almost had me black out. It only takes the slightest move to trigger the...
Doctor will give you a prescription of CYCLOBENZAPRINE. That will help you in the moment, so you can maybe use the toilet and whatnot. But the only cure here is prevention. Once you’re better you need to strengthen your back and change the way you move. For that you should see a physical therapist if you can. Or practice in front of a mirror a lot. Maybe both.
I can fall asleep almost anywhere. I routinely fall asleep in the break room at work. Once, I was helping a friend fix his car, and I fell asleep on his garage floor when he went inside to get water....
Sometimes I can, other times I can’t. Same as in a bed.
But seriously did a lot of night time car trips when I was a kid. I think I was conditioned for car-colepsy. Oddest chair I fell asleep in was during a dental filling.
I make pizza quite often with 12 oz (340 g) dough balls. When I cut the pizza it’s usually 10 slices (5 cuts). 8 slices they’re too wide and need folding. 12 slices is too narrow. 10 is best. I usually eat 4 though, not 2.
I’m looking for a suggestion for compact-ish NAS cases. I only have a few drives, 4 at the moment, so I don’t need a ton of space. But I’d like to downsize without getting a brand new motherboard and PSU it possible (both are ATX at the moment)....
The 8 ounce and 12 ounce children’s Cupkin double-walled stainless steel cups were the subject of a July 20 recall, the company said. “After recently receiving feedback from consumer advocates and additional follow-up testing, we discovered that the double walled vacuum 8oz and 12oz cups may pose an unacceptable exposure to...
As an owner of these and other double wall stainless cups made in China, I wanted more information than this paywalled article. Somebody should start a lemmy instance that bans all paywall links.
Anyway the company was very diligent at preventing this but it still happened. See here:
For anyone interested in facts and not headlines, the lead is on the exterior of the cup, in the bottom under the powder coated paint. It’s a seal disc in the bottom. Lead poses a threat to health only if ingested. For this lead to be ingested you’d basically have to destroy the cup.
This part was interesting:
tested the top selling household kids cup brands and found lead under the stainless steel discs for every single kids cup brand.
I think it would be safe to assume you’ll find lead in the seal disc on the bottom of any double wall stainless made in China.
Older isn’t always better. Pewter for instance was used in the kitchen and often contained lead.
I’ve been pretty happy with my GIR spatulas.
For measuring cups and spoons, any stainless should be safe and durable. This lead was found in the seal disc under the paint which only pertains to double wall stainless. If you want dance USA made set look at All-Clad.
I own two of them. They’ve been dropped many times. There are a few chips of paint off the bottom but none exposing the center plug. Lead isn’t radioactive. It’s perfectly safe as long as you don’t ingest it. I’m not happy there’s lead in the cups. But they’re still usable.
It’s a whole systemic breakdown. The maker knew of the potential for lead - ordered them without lead from the manufacturer, and had them tested by two independent labs. Christ sake what the hell else should they do? By the way before choosing a manufacturer in China this guy tried to find one in the US. Guess what? We don’t make double wall stainless in the US.
There seems to be a sub-group of salty dogs that sail without protection. They are often US saying they get lots of letters from ISP but nothing comes of it, lately. I’m one to hedge on the side of caution and will be continuing to use VPN but just wondering how much this is just a loud minority and how much truth is to it?
In a private tracker, I assume there are no narcs. If there was one they’d have to get a list of IP addresses for their intellectual property, then track down dozens of different ISPs to send them notices. If get a notice, I will delete the media, my account, etc. In court, the only proof they have is that my IP downloaded content. I will show them my public unprotected guest network, letting them know it was probably one of my neighbors. Unless they can find a copy, there’s not much more they can do. This is not legal advice. For actual legal advice see EFF.org.
edit: thank you for all the great comments! It’s going to take a while to chew through the suggestions. I just started testing picoshare which is already looking both easy and useful....
I am running jellyfin in LAN on a Synology. I/O from harddisk shouldn’t be a problem being SSD on the same NAS. And WiFi should sustain a 4K stream. I have tried only web clients. How can I optimize the stream for such large file? Or how can I debug the bottleneck?
on my question about torrentleech they seem to open their doors quiet frequently so yeah I am planning to enter the next time they do my question is what are the rules actually...
You can get an Odroid HC4 for about $100. Use it as a NAS and run qbittorrent on that. Then your media can be immediately hosted once complete. You can also run Emby or Jellyfin to host media to your TV or other devices.
I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.
yt-dlp works great with Tubi. Some great shows on there like How It’s Made can be archived and viewed ad-free. The movies however are encrypted streams.
It is only immoral to steal and reproduce a work for profit. Actually I believe it is unethical to try to sell something for more than you paid for it, unless you’ve added value to it with labor. Ticket scalpers and medical supply hoarders for instance are scum.
Imagine if the Mona Lisa had such immense copyright protection that few have ever seen it. Well then I guess it wouldn’t be that famous would it. An artist or record label doesn’t own the recording any more than the sound engineer or instrument maker does.
The problem with digital piracy being considered stealing is that it’s based on a corrupt system to begin with: capitalism. The people who funded the movie didn’t MAKE the movie, the people in the credits did. Once it’s already made a fair profit in the cinema, the VFX artists who worked hundreds of OT hours don’t see another dime from your streaming subscription or digital download. And yeah capital is necessary to make films, but are we to judge the full legality and ethics of how that capital was attained in the first place? Remember, there’s no way to earn a billion dollars. You must take it.

I'd probably have to go with Audiobookshelf and Kavita. Behind those would be Invidous and Immich.
Thought experiment for piracy
Imagine a cinema has a peeping view from the outside. Is it immoral to peek through the view? I.e: is it considered stealing to do that?...
