You might be able to clear (or at least relieve) some of the pressure by doing a Eustachian Tube Massage
Apply pressure to the area below the ear and just behind the jaw bone, then follow the jawline down to the neck (I’m not sure if you go under the jaw or straight down the neck. I do both)
Obviously, if this causes pain, don’t continue
(I am not a doctor)
It might be your phone getting a notification, and sending that to the BT speaker, which then takes precedent over the laptop
I usually just disable BT on my phone when stuff like that happens (on android, you can change the playback device without disconnecting, and that should also prevent the phone from stealing your headphones)
This smells of bot/troll account
Maybe some reddit mod or admin taking the piss?
To be fair, i think making an effort to de-radicalize and deescalate american politics would go a long way
I don’t watch Mr Beast, nor do i know anything about him, but my gut says he’s not a good fit for this purpose
I don’t know, i just wish politics wasn’t such a cult-of-personality, us-vs-them scream fest. I just can’t be bothered to care when everyone is at each other’s throats over everything
I like Reddit / Lemmy’s system best
Auto up vote your own stuff (or just don’t allow self voting, same difference), and being able to see both up and down votes separately
Although i think the latter isn’t a thing on Reddit
That’s the whole point if Federated servers
I would like to know

+1 for syncthing
I use it for synching my Obsidian notes folder between my phone and PC
(and git for versioning and backups)
NSFL (Not Safe For Life) typically means stuff like gruesome injuries, blood and gore, or possibly fatalities
Which is different from NSFW, because sometimes you want to hear a dirty joke, bit you could do without seeing the aftermath of a Meat Crayon
I haven’t used Windows in a few years (and never used OneDrive), so pinch of salt time, but…
I don’t like the idea of M$ having direct access to all of my files and personal data
That and, there have been mishaps with OD deleting files
Also, i personally don’t like software automagic, especially when i don’t understand what is going on under the hood
Is OD just a folder? Where are my documents actually stored? What happens if my internet goes out? How much do i trust M$ to not bungle something or sell or leak my files?
This one’s a bit of a c/noContext moment
Be calm, gentle, but firm. No build up, no “I’m sorry kitty, don’t be mad” and try not to be tense. Just do it. (If you’re tense, they’re tense)
Use a treat or food to distract the cat, and hold them firmly (preferably, have a second pair of hands, but I manage just fine on my own)
Proceed with the processes, even if the cat complains, or gets a little feisty (back off if they’re ballistic). Let them know (with your body language) that you’re not stopping because they’re unhappy
Also, make sure they have a good footing. Cats get uneasy if they don’t have their feet on something, or if the ground is slippery (like a bathtub)
Put a towel in the bottom of the tub to give them better footing (not the best solution, but it works)
Try one of these: https://a.co/d/08I5FYeD
Cats really only like to scratch on tall and sturdy things like trees or heavy couches
If their post isn’t tall enough, they can’t get a good stretch out of it
If the post tips over easily, they just won’t want to use it (you can also use a heavy weight to keep the base steady, but I find that solution rather cumbersome )
I’ve done this by accident a few times while reading a really good book
The following day sucks big time, especially if you have to go to work
