I’m just surprised anyone uses steam forums for anything beside troubleshooting.

Thanks for the detailed response. I intentially dehumidify our living spaces so I don’t think I have a spot that would match your stated requirements for the time being. I will definitely bookmark your comment in case my dreams of installing a greenhouse come to fruition in the next couple years.

Could vanilla orchids do well as a houseplant? I’m zone 7b/8a so I’ve had success playing around with semi tropical plants, but I don’t have greenhouse space to overwinter frost intolerant plants.

Why would they bother making an xbox layout when they’ve already gone through the effort of making the xbox controllers compatible with games? What advantage would that have over just using an actual xbox controller or one of the numerous generics?

Not quite. Although the “losing bid” here was of a higher payment amount. However, the trustee chose the onion bid because the families who are owed assets out of the settlement were willing to forgo some of the payments they are owed to back the onion bid. That would lead to more being paid back to Jone’s creditors than with the straight cash bid.

So it is a bit of a unique situation and the court is right to verify that the trustee made the right call. Ultimately the onion bid should be the winner since bankruptcy proceedings should prioritize paying creditors.

While flossing and brushing are definitely best practice, they absolutely do not guarantee never getting cavities.

You might end up in a sticky situation.

Florida man and Texas Judge are the dynamic duo we didn’t really need.

Would he? I’m terrified of his ability to double down on obvious bullshit even when presented with facts directly countering his claims.

As bad as Trump is, I’m almost more concerned about the people who saw his first clown show and thought either “I have got to get in on this” or " I can use this to accomplish my goals. "

Do you want President Vance? This is how you get President Vance.

I think someone ran the image through an ai upscaler. The textures on the rails an stuff are too smooth and the edges are overly sharpened.

My samsung phone does this level of overprocessing when taking pictures and I wish I could figure out how to turn that off.

I think the second pinky is actually a white line in the rock.

Don’t victim blame. Godzilla didn’t cause the radiation, he suffered irreparable changes from it.

Isn’t that when student loans became bankruptcy proof and death or payoff became the only legal ways to be rid of them?

Nvm those changes occured in different phases from 1976 through 2005.

I’m not a meteorologist, but I do know a thing or two about plasma.

Plasma is very short lived. Think on the order of microseconds at atmospheric pressures. So unless there was a massive linear source of power along the whole length, this isn’t plasma.

The visual effects probably have to do with the fact that the sun was very low. I’m guessing the particle size distribution in that line is notably different from the size of particles in the clouds surrounding it, leading to much stronger reflection of evening light.

I am curious as to the meteoroligical explanation for the line though.

Did you measure voltage drop across the pump while it’s trying to start up? The voltage will only drop when there’s current being drawn. So with the pump off you would see full supply volts even on a highly resistive line. You could try lugging a battery down to the pump, and jump it to get it started, then remove the battery jumpers but keep the pump running on your main run, then measure the volts across the pump.

Or you could try to measure the resistance of your wiring with your meter. You would disconnect it from your 12v source, then short the pump side, then measure the ohms across the pair at the source side. Also measure the resistance across your pump windings when it is disconnected, but with the switch on.

I’ll throw out some example numbers. Say you have a pump that says it needs 6 Amps. Chances are the inrush current is more like 12A. If you measure across the terminals with the pump disconnected from power with the switch closed, you might measure around 1 Ohm. Now if you measure your very long supply line and get 2 Ohms. Then you would only get 12V/(1+2 )Ohms = 4 Amps through the whole system. With the pump drawing 4 Amps you would only see 4V at the pump terminals when it is already running.

Once you hit a high enough percentage of cayenne, then the chili itself becomes unprecedented.

Getting hit on at the polls is a great way to make voting even more uncomfortable.

Best to stick to polite chit chat, and otherwise avoid bothering people when they’re voting.

Those are good addendums, but I’ll add one more qualifier to your nasal rinse suggestion. Never use tap water. Use only distilled water or water that has been boiled. Pharmacies also sell aerosol cans with saline solution, which is what I use for the convenience factor. Then you don’t have to worry as much about sanitized water and mixing up a solution. Saline rinses should also have at least half an hour of being upright before laying down. Don’t do a rinse then immediately lay in bed.

If budget isn’t tight, all bedding including the allergy covers benefits from getting in duplicate so you can take your time with the laundry. I was a lot worse about washing bedding when remembering late in the day meant there wouldn’t be enough time to wash and dry before bedtime.

Sounds like you have already convinced yourself the answer is probably yes.

You could also have a high sensitivity to dust mites. Talking to an allergist could help you narrow down what specifically bothers you. Allergy tests aren’t that big of a deal to have done.

Before trying to rehome the dog, do your best to make your bedroom a dog free zone. Keep the door closed and don’t let her on your bed. Shower before bed and don’t touch your dog between showering and getting in bed. Wash your bedding often. Don’t ever sitnon or get in your bed in clothes that have been around your dog or on furniture your dog is allowed to lay on. An air filter can help, but is limited in what they can actually accomplish. Filters can help with dust that comes in through your hvac vents, but any sources of allergens in your room will easily produce irritants at a much greater rate than a filter can capture them.

I’ll avoid specific medical recommendations, but I will list a few things worth checking out. Non-steroidal nasal sprays could help your sleep. Nasacort was the one recommended to me by a doctor. One lesson I had to learn with that is to not use it right before laying down. You need to give it time to drain. It does bother my stomach a bit, so timing it with a meal or snack can help. Pataday and opcon-a drops have both been helpful for me. Opcon-a does cause a temporary burning sensation. I would recommend starting with lower dose twice a day variants The extra strength stuff also hurts my stomach. (your eyes and sinuses drain down your throat.) Eye drops and nasal sprays are more targeted than tablet antihistamines so they can be a little more effective.

You might want to ask your doctor about a sleep study. In my unprofessional opinion, I would suspect you are experiencing apnea.

If you have a polyfill pillow, try switching to foam, or better yet buckwheat. Polyfill is a dust sponge. Every time you toss and turn it will release a cloud of dust right by your face.

You’ve lived this long with your dog, so it’s worth trying to find ways of improving your sleep hygeine and symptom management before jumping straight to no dogs. Although, a no puppies after this dog rule could be warranted.

As far as not having some of the symptoms you think should be present, chronic exposure vs acute exposure can have different reactions. If you are always mildly reacting to your dog, then you won’t experience some of the acute responses. (Again, not a professional)

You’re only making money if you downsize, move somewhere cheaper, or switch back to renting. If you move and all the other houses have gone up, then you just end up having to sink any gained equity into affording your new place. Rising prices really only help developers, realtors, and REIT’s.
