  1. #heatwave tip for sleeping a bit better

    An old one, but one I swear by. Fill an old hot water bottle with water + #ice cubes, or fill 3/4 with tap water and freeze fully. Wrap in t-shirt or cover (to avoid freezer burns) and use it like a conventional hot water bottle at night. Great for cooling sheets, pillows, body, I just tend to have it next to me or on my chest for a bit. Don't use it again for hot water in winter. Risk of perishing. Get a new one for that!

  9. Spotted elsewhere, but worth a toot. #LifeHacks #2025 edition:
    * If #PeterThiel is involved, avoid it
    * If it's #opt_in , it'll be #mandatory soon
    * If #AI is involved, it is #profiling you
    * If #BigTech says it's for safety, it isn't
    * If it demands a #facialscan walk away
    * If it's "for your safety", it likely won't end well for you

  10. CW: Kill #Capitalism ? (But we are Capitalism now we are born into over the generations)

    @GryphonSK
    I realise this response is not exactly for the picture in your post (which I agree with) but basically this post shows how WE are capitalists also... so even if I needed to make a more extreme example, the principles are all the same...

    Basically we became #Capitalism (from born into over the generations)

    We are #Capitalists most of us (enough of us) now we are born into over the generations and can make a #change - and do have a say EVEN IF it's just between #ourselves.

    So as much as we hate it want to #kill it - this actually means killing ourselves - so better to think of reducing it WHILE testing new ways of #humanity....

    But this isn't as easy an idea as kill capitalism or even the weak forms without again finding ways to support and even talk to each other #DAILY and know it will get us anywhere we like that way! (Nope!.... for some people it's capitalism and not them forgetting to do the #human work). #TOPTIPS *wink*

    #FreeSchool

    P.S
    It's true Capitalists and ownership (Even of people by employment) is very pervasive and exist - but still we a mini-capitalist that could all do the similar ways, but for sharing or at least positive spreading. No more spreading #Trump and #Elon news please - you're doing #free work for them and not free stuff for us / me / yourself !

    Use a potato ricer or passetout.
    Use only good butter...no milk or cream.

  30. My #septum #piercing was at 6mm
    Years ago I got a double flared 6mm - internal - plug in there.

    The ‘flare' means that the ends are wider than the middle.

    Some years later I tried to remove it

    While the internal diameter was 6mm, the piercing had shrunk to just that.
    The double flare was a problem. A very #painful #problem.

    In the end, it took #pain, #emla, a whole evening, pain, watery eyes, pain to get it out.

    Never EVER put a double flared plug into a #septum

    1. For a networked printer, allocate a static IP address.

    2. Remove every trace of the manufacturer’s software, especially if you’re running Windows 10/11.

    3. Make yourself a nice ☕️ and have a slice of 🍰

    The Windows print controller is perfectly capable of controlling printing and will try to override the manufacturer’s software anyway and you can’t remove the Windows software 🤷
