  • Basic trouble shooting cause this is weird and I have no idea:

    1. If you disconnect the Ethernet, does it still tick?
    2. Does restarting the printer help?
    3. Can you turn the printers wi-fi off?

    My wildest guesses are it could be trying to print off a test page, receiving a signal to print but no info, or maybe it's switching between checking WiFi and Ethernet.

  • That's awesome! Would you mind walking me through locking/banning? I thought I explored all the options but this is my first time being a mod and using Sync so it's been a ton of information.

    Edit: Is there a FAQ or documentation I can read? Sorry for all the noob questions.

  • To be honest, I'm really not sure what mod powers I even have on Lemmy. The things that stick out to me are:

    • Edit sub 'about' page
    • Lock threads
    • Ban users, also view banned users and un-ban

    Thank you for making Sync + Lemmy and thank you for working so hard to make it user/mod friendly!

  • Absolutely true. Aspartame is generally regarded as safe under 40mg/kg and still researching long term effects doesn't mean it's dangerous, just that there may be more to discover. To be fair, science is constantly evolving and new discoveries are being made every day for... well, everything. Still, if you want to find the "healthiest" way to get your daily caffeine, there are options out there with minimal additives. Black coffee, tea, seltzers, even pills.

  • Black coffee and tea are considered the healthiest options because no sugar, no sugar substitutes, no preservatives or other additives, and they've been used long enough that the health implications are well researched.

    Diet sodas have ingredients that are considered safe in moderation by the FDA, but we are still learning about the long term effects of artificial sugars and different additives. There are caffeinated seltzers out there with just natural flavoring and caffeine. That would probably be a better comparison to black coffee and tea.

  • Yes and diet soda isn't a perfect alternative. We're still learning about the long term effects of artificial sweeteners. It's a headache trying to navigate the options.

    There are seltzer waters that have caffeine. I would guess those are comparable to black coffee in terms of healthiness.

  • Get help when you can, remember to fill your cup before others, and try to make peace with the fact that you will have very little control over their older years.

    I was a caretaker to my grandmother for a while and now am approaching a similar stage with my mother. This is pretty cynical, but at a certain point everything's a downward slope. Sometimes gentle, sometimes steep, and punctuated by good days but the overall course doesn't change. Accepting how little control I have and acknowledging the downward slope has helped in some ways. It's an absolutely brutal journey, but it's like a rip current. You can fight and swim against it or you can swim parallel to shore. You might end up further out in the end but you'll at least have the energy to make it back.

  • Yup, completely normal. I have hard water and my kettles get calcium buildup after a handful of uses. Soak with white vinegar to remove the buildup. Or if you're like me and forget until last second, boil 50/50 vinegar/water and deal with the vinegar smell, lol.

  • Go exploring. Walk the airport and go to other wings if it's a large airport. You might be able to find a luggage locker so you can walk without carrying anything.

    In the same line, there are a lot of games that gamify walking. One. Two. The goal here is to exhaust your body a bit better for the 13 hr flight.

    Learn something. A new language, maybe. A skill. Learn braille and go around the airport decoding the braille signs.

    Do an airport scavenger hunt. Can you find yarn and maybe practice finger knitting? Maybe a deck of cards and learn some card tricks?

    Talk to people. Honestly I'm an introvert so I rarely do this but it can be fun.

  • Yes. For many companies, a 4-yr degree is a non-negotiable requirement. Any 4 year degree just to be considered. If you manage to get a good job without a degree, you will still be categorized by HR as a degree holder or not. This doesn't always factor into raises, promotions, layoffs, but it can.

  • 'R' for 500

  • If I remember correctly at the end he actually sees five lights but still says four. Fantastic way to show that Picard is human and fallible, but his spirit is stronger.
