“Invitation to Love”, the soap opera within the show “Twin Peaks”.

I have nasal congestion due to allergies every morning so here’s some advice that might help you.

You can try a Neti pot morning and night. The NeilMed ones at Costco pharmacies are good.

Use distilled water or boil your own for 1-3 minutes depending on the elevation in the area.

Once the packets run out you can measure 1/8 tsp baking soda, 1/8 to 1/4 tsp non-iodized salt (e.g. sea salt).

For prescriptions, Omnaris might work for you too. Gets things moving and doesn’t have the congestive rebound effect that over-the-counter nasal decongestants do.

All the other advice about controlling allergens is on point too. You can try an anti-histamine (e.g. Aerius) for a week to see if your congestion goes away but allergy meds dry you out a bit by design and gum you up so maybe this won’t have the effect you’re seeking.

You can get a sleep study for apnea but I’d say only if you’ve had actual fatigue related symptoms, not just what you’ve described here.

You could get a breath test for your lungs. Maybe there’s mold at your place. That tightness should be enough reason to get checked out, tbh.

Best of luck!

Tenet. I’ve watched it probably four times. Got my sister onto it and I think she’s seen it like seven times now.

Very rewatchable. It can make sense but I’d say it takes you at least two viewings to follow along. Probably three.

I wish there was a sequel but I don’t think that’s Christopher Nolan’s style.

I see other Nolan movies listed here. There’s definitely a theme in them with time, story order and apparently, dead wives?

“Dudes and dudettes” seems more on the level.

This isn’t the first time he’s been attacked.

Yes exactly, a game changer for me as well.

I used to use tap water too. I have to highlight why distilled or boiled water is important though. Tap water isn’t sterile and there have been cases of microbes creating infections when used with Neti pots.

Naegleria fowleri is a brain-eating amoeba that has been linked to tap water usage in Neti pots, among other scenarios.

These cases are rare, to be fair, but still worth avoiding with distilled or boiled water. There could be other less fatal microbes junking things up, after all.

I gotta clarify, boiled but then cooled water for use in your Neti pots!

I’ve noticed a black screen after exiting a game lately but just thought it was a problem with the specific game. I have to press the back button to get out of it and back to where you’d normally land after exiting a game, the game selection page/menu from the library in steam (there’s probably a better name for it).

Is that what you mean?

To try and thwart malicious scripted login attempts, some sites expect a manual keyboard action on the username and/or password fields.

You can use your password manager to populate the fields but then click each and add then remove a character. That usually handles it.

Just the concept of a plan?

An AI-powered Clippy… have we learned nothing from Star Trek Lower Decks about what can go wrong with this??

Yes, you can wash sneakers in the washer. Delicate, cold, small amount of detergent, laces out (Dan!) and in a laundry bag or the pair entirely in a bag laundry bag.

You can wash with other sneakers but I wouldn’t wash with clothes.

Consider getting a boot/mitt/hat dryer (like the ones at Costco). Very handy for quick drying and no mold, bacteria, fungi stink. I use mine all year round for this and weather related needs.

Note that the fabric on the soles might let go over time. The glue isn’t so strong.

Yes this is the same issue I’ve noticed. I’ve been playing Vampire Survivor exclusively for some time so I’m not sure if the problem is game specific or SteamOS. Probably the latter. I can run a different game later and see or maybe you can let me know.

Just watched this tonight for my 12 year old son, coincidentally. He loved the twist!

Thanks, that’s very kind of you to offer.

I’ve got quite a few older machines. I’m pretty keen to figure out the top four, at least.

Any advice on the following and/or on the method of identifying viable distros and versions in general is very appreciated.

• MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53 GHz, Mid 2009)
• iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
• Mac mini Server (Mid 2010)
• MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013)
• MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)
• iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
• Mac mini 2018

This is great! Thank you so much for giving me some direction here.

I’m going to give this a whirl on one of the units and see how it goes.

I used to use Out-Run. v1.2 in the change log notes that the app is open source.

It looks like it hasn’t been updated in some time though.

https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/out-run/id1477511092

It was harder than it should have been to find the GitHub page but here it is. I linked to the issues list. Seems like it’s got a quite a few. Maybe somebody will pick the project up.

A colleague of mine just pointed this app out. I love that this exists.

But make sure to dig into the additional info and draw your own conclusions.

For instance, it ranked Pure Life water (a typical bottle of water) at 65/100 because it contained sodium bicarbonate. This is something in the category of emulsifiers, a category that one study related to breast cancer, a preliminary study noted to have discrepancies. That’s a few leaps of correlation via a single one-time study with documented issues.

Anyway, I’d say the app is still worthwhile then having no easy guidance on product health and safety.

Here’s the iOS link: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/yuka-food-cosmetic-scanner/id1092799236

And she’s in the Spanish original as well, I believe.

Came here for this!

Sounds like asthma or walking pneumonia even, but I’m no doctor. I recommend getting checked out.

Oh man, I hadn’t heard that song in years. Thank you!

You can self-host Feedbin or you can get a paid account for $30 USD.

Lots of great functionality built-in. I use Unread app for iOS as the front-end instead of Feedbin’s web app. A paid Unread account would also give you RSS feed hosting, but less feature rich.

Thanks for that!

For whatever reason, the interface was difficult to navigate, jumping up and down, but once I got it on the Quick Settings I was able to rearrange the controllers.

Question for you guys.

How do you know which version to install relative to the hardware? Is it just trial and error?

I have some 13 year old Macs but I’m not sure which distro and version to go with and I’m not keen on spending days figuring it out.

I recall reading another post from some guy who went through like six installs with various problems. Didn’t seem encouraging.
