  • Light pollution is so bad people are unaccustomed to seeing lights in the skies

  • Sometimes what causes your feet to get cold is that they were warm in the first place, so they sweated. Now you are walking around in damp cold socks. There are a couple things you can try to mitigate this:

    • Wool is warmer when wet than Cotton. Wool socks can come in a variety of cushion/warmth levels, so you can pick what works for you.
    • Sock liners are a thin sock to wear under your normal socks. They are usually made of synthetic fabrics that wick the sweat away from your feet to the outer sock so your feet don’t feel wet. They can also help with chafing and are usually used for outdoorsing or sports.
    • Wear breathable shoes as long as you aren’t walking somewhere too cold and wet. When your socks can dry out your feet will feel warmer
    • Wearing slippers alone can end up both sweaty and drafty. Wearing socks with your slippers can keep your ankles warm and reduce how drafty they feel, but the draftiness of the slipper can also help to keep your socks dry.
    • Take off your shoes or slippers periodically to let your socks dry out.
    • Feel free to change your socks whenever you want. There is no rule that says you have to wear the same pair all day.

    This may also sound counterintuitive, but put on a sweater or vest. When your core is more exposed, your body will reduce circulation to your extremities to keep the heat in your core. If you insulate your core, your body will increase circulation to push the heat to your extremities to keep your core cool.

    Lastly, get a good night’s rest. Thermoregulation is one of the things that will suffer for lack of sleep.

  • Most damage comes from heat, and rough handling, so I sort by structure/weight, and wash almost everything on cold, and tumble dry on low, auto-sense.

    The only color I wash separate is white so it can run hot and with bleach.

    I also presort, by weight into 4 bins heavyweight, middleweight, lightweight/dress-shirts, and finally undergarments/delicates/socks

    We might go a 2-3 weeks between a running a particular bin so we can separate things out just because there is enough to fill out it’s own load.

    Undergarments and deli sites go together, might add leggings or lightweight tops to fill out a load

    Socks are separate merely because we like fluffy wool socks and they will fill their own load, and it’s easier to pair them when they all come out together. Otherwise they’d be with undergarments. Might run on warm if the foot stank is real bad.

    Sturdy fabrics like denim and duck all go together in a denim cycle it’s just cold/cold with a heavy spin

    Sweats and other heavy bulkys go together so they don’t twist up lighter clothes. Might run these with denim or towels

    Lightweight tops and button down shirts go together. Lightweight sweaters might be get mixed in too.

    Then general laundry is middleweight fabrics: t-shirts, slacks leggings, etc.

    If there’s enough for their own load, towels get a hot cycle to get cut down on microbial growth. Otherwise they go with denim and/or sweats. NEVER USE FABRIC SOFTENER/DRYER SHEETS ON TOWELS. It makes things softer by adding oils THAT prevent them from absorbing water, which is the whole point of towels.

    Sheets and pillowcases might get a warm cycle and pre wash to help cut through accumulated body grease, etc.

  • TBF, doing the same thing a second time but better is not Nintendo’s MO. Theres usually either a new gimmick or form factor, or it’s just a refresh of equivalent hardware. The New 3DS was an outlier in that respect.

  • These kind of misfires are known to happen (Warning: fictional blood and gore). The right impact can either simulate a trigger pull, directly strike the firing pin itself, or otherwise jostle the firing pin free; especially in older firearms, whether due to design or wear. This is why some places mandate that new firearms sold have a drop safety mechanism.

    It would likely have to have been stowed loaded and cocked. If it was in the tackle box, other objects in the box could have disengaged the manual safety (if it was even engaged in the first place) and bumped the trigger.

  • I have never made that sort of connection. Fictional kings? IRL kings? Sacramento Kings?Can you give some examples?

  • They are referencing the “coincidental” Boeing whistleblower deaths this year. If a whistleblower was made CEO and subsequently murdered, then being the CEO of a hated corporation is now a plausible reason that could mask that of being a whistleblower.

  • Trouble? No, but they’ll raise the compensation to compensate for risk, which will only attract greedier more sadistic candidates.

    Or…

    They’ll hire a woman to clean up the mess (possibly at reduced compensation), because that’s the virtue signaling what corporations do when they are in a tight spot. Then, once she has turned things back around, they’ll swap a man back in and give him a bonus for all her hard work.
