Clove oil. You can get it in a tiny vial at the chemist. You pick off small bits of cotton, roll them into little balls, and dip into the clove oil. Wring out most of it against the side of the bottle, then place directly on the site of pain and bite.
In your case you might want to make strips of cotton or something.
It tastes absolutely horrible and will make your whole mouth numb, but it is antiseptic and will give you enough relief to sleep.
It definitely is, but these recent years have seen more and more unfinished games pushed to the finish line with game breaking bugs and missing content, all while charging AAA prices.
Capitalism is what it is, a metric for “success” cannot just mean you are profitable, you must be more profitable each year. Thus the enshitification of everything continues.
It is becoming difficult to “pay more for quality” as the quality of every publicly traded brand is the first thing that suffers when they are pushed to make more profits each year.
Good! Delay it til 2030! I am tired of unfinished games being released leaving angry gamers to abuse the devs who put their heart and soul into it. The only ones who win are the studios.
I missed the discussion on voting the other day it seems, but for what it’s worth, I like the voting system. In real life discussions happen in open air, and don’t hang there in posterity for people to stumble upon after. When we come to a consensus in conversation it is then left at that and we move on.
When online, these discussions stay as they are, and I think voting gives a way of people to come to a consensus, to leave a mark upon the conversation such that the people who come behind understand how everyone felt about it.
This is helpful I think, because it does not hide the down votes on nasty comments or ideas that hurt others.
One of the most interesting and horrible things about the internet is that every village has a “crazy Bob” but because they were the minority the good of the people outnumbered their outlandish or hateful ideas.
Now they can and do find each other online, forming a vocal and damaging minority. Without the majority able to show their dislike, human nature means more will fall in line with them and their ideals.
For gaming, I highly recommend a trackball mouse since it requires so little movement, and depending on the model the buttons don’t require a lot of force to be pressed.
A quick google shows me that these work even on an xbox.
I would suggest a fingertip trackball, and one with the largest ball diameter you can find. The larger the ball the more accurate and less movement needed.

^ This is my daily driver, but it is better suited to someone with small hands.
https://www.amazon.com.au/KENSINGTON-K72359WW-Kensington-Wireless-Trackball/dp/B00009KH63/
^ This is the easiest to use, most comfortable for almost anyone with larger bands, and requires little force to click.

^ This is another smaller contender that may be easier on his hand, as it is more rounded. Some people need flat, some need round.
Put a washcloth under the left side of whichever one he chooses so he can adjust the tilt so his wrist won’t hurt.

^ Something like this would be good for the first little while, he can drive with the trackball and use his feet to click. There are lots of these at different price points.
For comfort, things to ease the itch and miserableness of the casts that will come. It keeps you up at night.

^ Very cool product I wish was around when I had a cast. Seems well reviewed.

^ These to scratch itches down the cast. He should put nothing else down the cast, and don’t put it so far down that you lose it. The skin under the cast will become very thin and fragile, anything put down it with a sharp edge could scratch and the warm moist environment could breed infection.
Regarding toilet time, if the bidet you got does not have a dryer function he may need to dry his booty when he’s done. Many homes that have bidets everyone has their own little towel they use. He could move a stool or something in the bathroom and put a specified towel over it to sit on to dry himself.
My condolences to your friend, really glad he has a friend to help him.
Which Lenovo laptop, if you don’t mind me asking? I know there are Lenovo laptops with Linux support, but I am on a Lenovo Legion Slim 5, and I have heard there are quite a few issues that would need to be sorted.
The key chain magnet rated for 60 lbs was $54.95 AUD and the larger one rated for 165 lbs was $119.95 AUD.
The Australia tax is real, I imagine that little key chain is like $20 in the States.
I was talking to my husband who has been traveling for work to an industrial site, and he sent me a picture that included a “permanent magnetic lifter”.
They look like this: https://www.magnet-sdm.com/wp-content/uploads/Permanent-magnetic-lifter.jpg
I had never heard of these and wondered how they worked - how is it possible to “turn off” a magnet without electricity??
I found a video where someone explains how this is possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMma3OJUHhs
I got one of the smallest of these as a gift for my husband. This tiny thing is strong enough to lift 68kg. It’s strong enough to lift me!

Honestly, the rules and laws on divorce are so wild across the country. I was married in California but my husband left after 6 months. I hadn’t see him in 9 or 10 years, had no idea where he was.
Because I was in the state of Kentucky when I filed, I had to go to a church run “divorce education class” on how to save my marriage and complete a little workbook.
Completely insane class, I stayed in the back and tried to stay silent, but the teacher forced me to participate and asked some leading question about how I could communicate better with my spouse to prevent a divorce or some shit.
Told her I had no idea where my spouse was, that he had left after 6 months and that I had to hire a private investigator (and a police officer!) to serve my divorce papers. The whole thing was nuts.
We have a Samsung Powerbot (The VR9300, an upgrade from the 7xxx we had for four years before it.) for a few reasons. It was the only one with a proper vacuum roller brush and motor, and whilst it has a camera on it, it is not internet connected. It uses the camera to map the ceiling and vacuums back and forth like a person instead of bouncing around in a random pattern.
I am very interested in the newer Samsung vacuums, which have a charging base that also empties the dust bin on it. These newer ones have of course lots of internet connected features like the ability to tell the vacuum not to do a room, but I contacted support who said they will work just fine without being connected.
We love our Powerbot, he has googly eyes and we named it Troll.
Same, everything we have purchased from them has been high quality.
To add simple storage you could go with something like this: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BQ6SHNP1?
I was blown away at the cool design (the case and cover are the heatsink, you install it with a thermal paste pad inside - how cool is that?!) and how inexpensive 1TB m2 cards are now.
If you want expandable storage, then maybe a NAS?
Husband set up one a year or so ago and it has been really cool. Easy to back up and access anything on it.
I have had three moles removed from my face by a regular gp here in Australia. Not a plastic surgeon, just a good gp I trust.
They have all healed beautifully, with invisible scarring.
I tend to keloid on my arms and trunk, so I was very careful with healing. As soon as the stitches came out I put silicone tape over it and kept it taped over a few months.
If it started to feel itchy (a sign of keiloid forming) I would apply a steroid cream.
During the day when I was out and about I used skin coloured silicone scar tape cut to fit, these tapes are very expensive though.
When I was at home or sleeping I used “Fixomul Sensitive” which uses a silicone adhesive and is very inexpensive for a whole roll.
Once they had healed enough that they were flat and white (not the pink or red of a healing scar) I stopped with the tape and was very careful to apply good sunscreen for the rest of a year.
You cannot tell I had anything done, at all.
Be careful with healing and you will be fine! <3
No one likes gate keeping. Ideally Linux would be easy for people at any level to switch to.
Whoah, thanks for that. I rarely use fb and while I knew that they collected and connected information anywhere they could, but I had only ever seen the main fb settings and turned those off as much as possible.
This is wild.
