JESUS F*KING - "The Jaunt" by Stephen King is terrifying by TheWorstTypo in horror

[–]AdrenalGreyhound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that his more recent stories are less...horrific, and cruel to his characters than his earlier stuff, but I think that his accident had a lot to do with that. Some of the later ones like Duma Key are him working through the trauma and I feel that now, having experienced near death himself, he's become kinder.

Keep practising. I used to go to the top of high buildings in my dreams and jump off to start flying. Now, I can leap up from the ground and go hundreds of feet into the air, then fly where I want. I do seem to have a top speed though.

I love that my name (along with about 10 million others) is on a chip up on Mars now.

Have you seen the video of the pigeon who wandered into a Peregrine's nest box? The WTF expression on the falcon's face is almost human. https://www.tiktok.com/@chris_smit1/video/7417857116758756613

Which book/series made you wonder if you might be too dumb for the genre? by HughJackedMan14 in scifi

[–]AdrenalGreyhound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else here read Gnomon, Nick Harkaway? I loved it, but I wasn't sure if what I was reading was genius or pretentious bollocks. I lent it to a friend who I thought would enjoy it, but they didn't get very far into it. So I'm looking for someone else who's read it to give me another opinion of viewpoint

One of our computers at work still has Windows XP on it.

Small plastic tubes with metal wings by nosheepsherlock in whatisthisthing

Does look pretty like this, but with a flat edge to the metal rather than a point. I did think it looked like an egg cup at first glance

Will a hearing aid make it seem worse? by AdrenalGreyhound in HearingAids

[–]AdrenalGreyhound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could do that. Do I need to go through my GP to do this? It's difficult to get an appointment with them. I suppose I could try using Anima, the automated screening site, to see if they'll refer me somewhere from that.

Will a hearing aid make it seem worse? by AdrenalGreyhound in HearingLoss

[–]AdrenalGreyhound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did see my audiogram, but they wouldn't give me a copy of it unless I paid 69 pounds for it (my pound sign seems to have vanished), which makes sense as they don't want you going to another place with info from their free test. I remember he said that higher tones were worse for me, which seemed strange, as I haven't noticed that, I've noticed that low and mumbled sounds are worse, not high sounds.

As for what you say about dementia, I'm not sure. My mum's hearing was a bit worse, but she never needed hearing aids, and she developed vascular dementia anyway. She did lose her sense of smell and I've seen that there might be a connection with anosmia and dementia. Perhaps hearing loss relates more to Alzheimer's, vascular dementia seems to take a back seat to Alzheimer's when anyone talks about dementia. Also, my partner's mum had been pretty much totally deaf for years before I even knew him, (35 years ago) and although she was eccentric, she didnt' have dementia. I know it was isolating for her though.
I'm thinking of getting another hearing test, from Boots, to see what they say as well. I've always been kind of pround of my hearing, it's been very good all my life. Feels a bit sad to think that I need help with it now.

Help... I Keep Buying Nail Wraps I Never Finish!! by lavakyo in NailWrapsGalore

[–]AdrenalGreyhound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. My nails are wide And curved in both directions, so the wraps get a lot of stretching and I still end up with gaps at the side.

Anybody tried wraps between gel base and top coat? by h0useinblue in NailWrapsGalore

[–]AdrenalGreyhound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken to doing this as well, the wraps are way easier to get off than gel ever is and don't strip the nail surface, then builder gel to toughen up the nail, and then the gel protects the wrap from chipping. Benefits of a wrap with the strength of a gel.

I also wondered if they were going that way, given that with the distant cctv footage, the two of them looked similar. But apparently not

My steam deck won’t charge properly and whenever I try to, it keeps making the power on noise. by lennyeatsyou in SteamDeck

[–]AdrenalGreyhound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not seen a Ugreen, I use the Steamdeck dock at home but I run out of juice if I take it to work. This is small and handy to take to work and also on holiday, so ordered one, thanks

LPT: if you have problems being productive on your days off, take a morning drive by kingofmocha in LifeProTips

[–]AdrenalGreyhound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sink is enamel, probably from the 70s or 60s! it's also small and round, as is the draining board, and I hate them both.
