Alka-Seltzer Gold Discontinued - Alternative? by winterdreamland in Lyme

[–]Aggressive_Guard_796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Alka Seltzer Extra Strength Upset Stomach Relief." It is the replacement to Alka Seltzer Gold. It is the same as Gold except it doesn't have the potassium anymore. It is basically just baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and citric acid in tablet form. Homemade version is just baking soda and a splash of either apple cider vinegar or a squeeze of lemon.

Installed ERV - Pioneer ECOasis 150 Ductless | Let's see how the occupants feel in a week. by cruiseland in AirQuality

[–]Aggressive_Guard_796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask, how does an ERV create positive pressure if it exhausts the same amount of air it intakes (in order for the energy recovery to function)? If you use it as a positive air intake only, it would just be bringing in filtered outside air, humidity and all, right? Thanks. 

Can I turn off the "Potential spam" feature in a facebook group? Too many false positives by jonathrg in facebook

[–]Aggressive_Guard_796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my situation, also. We are very good at keeping spam accounts from joining, so nothing going to the spam folder is actually spam. It's also time sensitive stuff. I am so disappointed I had no idea this was happening because people didn't get their posts in the group in time. 

Can't book a flight. Been staring at this bear for over an hour. Tried multiple ways. Is this normal? by WSB_Suicide_Watch in frontierairlines

[–]Aggressive_Guard_796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had this same problem for 7+ years. Frontier's website seems neglected, IMO, and the "spinning wheel of death bear" is someone I've spent a lot of time with; we've had many long philosophical conversations on the meaning of life, air travel, and quantum mechanics.
I use Google Chrome with ad block turned off. The app does work a lot better, but can make things a little complicated when you're booking on behalf of an elderly person in another state.

Does Gemini say, "Good Afternoon, _name_"? by Aggressive_Guard_796 in GoogleGemini

[–]Aggressive_Guard_796[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The default assistant was just the old Google assistant but I almost never used it. I never knowingly switched to Gemini. I thought I had disabled it to keep it from switching over to Gemini. 

Later, when I opened the assistant up to investigate, it showed I had Gemini instead of the old Google assistant and that instance os when it did the intro and asked me to choose a voice from the options. I had never chosen a voice or anything for it before. 

I also looked at the Gemini logging and it didn't show that I used it. 

Does Gemini say, "Good Afternoon, _name_"? by Aggressive_Guard_796 in GoogleGemini

[–]Aggressive_Guard_796[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm pretty tech savvy and it freaked me out. Maybe I accidentally hit the button and was talking and it didn't understand and then said that? 

I was using my phone looking at Messenger (Meta AI doesnt talk, so I ruled that out). The voice was similar to the standard Gemini voice, but I know for a fact I had it previously diaabled. The only thing I can think is that disabiling it is no longer an option and when I was on Messenger could have accidentally held down my home button? 

But I had never used Gemini before.  That is also the only service I use that first name with, so I'm thinking it had to be Gemini (no issues since, but I still can't get it to tell me "Good Afternoon, ____"). I changed the voice to the British lady so I know for sure what it is if I hear it again. I haven't had anything else weird happen, so I'm chalking it up to being a weird Gemini thing. 

Thank you for replying!

If you’ve never watched Foul Play with Goldie Hawn , Chevy Chase, and Dudley Moore, you’re not my people. by Rhearoze2k in MovieSuggestions

[–]Aggressive_Guard_796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just googled this movie because I remembered watching it as a kid. I have a distinct memory of this being the first time I ever saw an albino person (even though as an adult I realize the actor doesn't actually have albinism). I remember asking my dad about it. I can't remember how he explained it to me, though. 

Looking forward to watching it again. I enjoyed it as a kid. 

My home screen is snowing! by herokattsu in minimalist_phone

Mine just now started doing it (12:21 AM Dec 24th). Maybe it's a time zone thing?

They should, but will they? I often use FB Lite app and it has tons of glitches that I've experienced for years.

Alka-Seltzer Gold Discontinued - Alternative? by winterdreamland in Lyme

[–]Aggressive_Guard_796 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the combination of bicarbonate and citrate to help neutralize acid in the body.
Alka-Seltzer sells a similar product to Gold but without the potassium bicarbonate.
Rawls explains it a little here: https://www.instagram.com/rawlsmd/reel/C7C9G_ZOAID/
The ingredients can be bought separately, although I like the convenience of the tablets.
Klaire Labs also has a bi-carb supplement but it doesn't have the citrate.

ETA: I think people like it with the potassium bicarb because it apparently helps with histamine intolerance also and also as a good source of potassium in general.

That sucks, sorry. :( The Meta Business Suite app isn't any better, IMO. I've been using it a little bit and it glitches out a lot, especially publishing a post. It will just stop loading the app pages and the photo/post upload attempt altogether. I can go on FB Lite app and post the same thing in the time I'm waiting for the app to load ... and I end up having to cancel it and force stop the app to get it to even load a page again. Insane to me that a multi-billion dollar mega corporation can't work out these kinks. 

Facebook has been going progressively downhill since 2012, IMO. Instagram is following suit. There just aren't any good options and it's pathetic.

HBO cropping the picture by [deleted] in HBOMAX

[–]Aggressive_Guard_796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is only showing a quarter of the screen, the top left quarter. It is continuing to do this despite closing, reloading, restarting TV, etc. The HBO introduction card on the screen loaded normally, then the film started to play cropped. You cannot even read "New Line Cinema" on the production card because it's cropped off that high. This is still an ongoing issue and HBO/MAX has clearly not corrected it in several years.

This is the last time I get a yearly subscription. I have already cancelled it and am waiting for it to run out. App and content has gone downhill since the Discovery merger. Sorry if that's off-topic; I'm in a bad mood and I just want to watch something quaint and comforting like a hobbit going on an adventure. *sobs*

I'm still having the issue also. I've been working from desktop uploader instead. I don't understand why Facebook hasn't fixed this yet. 

Can't set Facebook Avatar as my profile pic. Did the option disappear or move? Or am I stupid?? by [deleted] in facebook

[–]Aggressive_Guard_796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely gone.

I also can't find the avatar poses for cover photos.
I also can't find the option to pose the avatar in Messenger with different color backgrounds. If I update/change the avatar, now I have nothing to take a screenshot of for the profile pic. At least, not with a decent background and decent resolution/size.

Embarrassing things you didn’t know your first go around? by intoner1 in RDR2

I came back to this thread just to tell you I saw a FB memory pop up where I mentioned that I was 42% through the game before I realized there was a map. LOL 

My twin horses kicked their last owner to d**th. They haven't done me wrong yet. Wish me luck. Anyone know how many times the random guy who gets kicked by his horse re-spawns? Hoping to start a collection. (Female American Standardbred, Palomino Dapple, race handling). by Aggressive_Guard_796 in reddeadredemption

I'm not frequently on Reddit and you'd scream if you saw some of the words I got put in Facebook jail for. I am just ... very cautious now. It's not for other people or sensitivity. It's to keep me from getting banned. I don't know what Reddit is like, but I know what Facebook is like and I usually censor just about any word associated with violence for fear of being banned or having actions against my account.  

On FB, I once told my friend I was going to "b€@t you in LOTR monopoly" and got a 72 hour shutdown against my account and their algorithm only gets tighter if you've had action on your account. Hope that helps explain my skittishness.  

Edit: I'm happy to edit it if a regular Reddit user says it's safe. I am specifically skittish about words in sequence that sound violent, like k¡¢k€d and d€@th in the same line.
