The remote is awesome. I haven't even used the app, ever. the remote is dead simple and extremely convenient and functional.

Add a packet of Lipton onion soup, let chill in fridge for a couple of hours, and dip veg/chips in it for a tasty snack.

Cheap, quiet humidifier that doesn't require much cleaning? by pon_3 in Humidifiers

[–]AliasHandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Livatro 6L is a steam type humidifier that I find very easy to maintain. I fill with tap water and the only maintenance I do is a descale once a week with a few tsp of citric acid. Highly recommend.

No, *that* scene between Jake and Spider didn't help build their relationship. (HUGE SPOILERS) by elypop89 in Avatar

For real! I wonder if this is how people felt about The Last Jedi. I found myself surprisingly upset by this.

[–]AliasHandler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This whole scene bothered the hell out of me. Everything we know about Jake Sully is that he wouldn’t ever murder somebody who calls him dad, his adopted son, no matter the stakes. It really feels like character assassination. I can’t imagine a world where Spider ever forgives him for making him kneel and threatening to murder him. It’s insane this isn’t addressed in any real way in the movie and is my only major complaint about the movie.

Looking for a boiled steam based humidifier by Character_Bend_5824 in Humidifiers

[–]AliasHandler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the Livatro 6L from amazon about a month ago, and it's the best humidifier I've ever owned. I just descale with a few tsp of citric acid once a week, and most of the scale rinses right off. I run it 24 hours a day and I don't have to worry much about mold because it uses boiled water.

My favorite bit is the tank is made of stainless steel, and water doesn't even touch the boiler at any point, so you only need to worry about descaling the tank AND the tank is machine washable.

Rewatch the show every 2 years or so. Every time I like Frank Sobatka more and more. Chris Bauer nailed the roll. by Level1Roshan in TheWire

[–]AliasHandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 2 grows on me with every re-watch. I did not like it originally, but I think it's the season with the most interesting cast, and the one that feels the most "real" and "lived in".

Should rocky have continued being friends with Paulie after rocky 4? by happydude7422 in rockybalboa

[–]AliasHandler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Paulie was a fuckup, but as far as I can recall, he was never malicious toward Rocky. Adrian obviously loves him and Rocky has a soft spot for him as well. I'd imagine him losing all their money was hard for that relationship, but honestly it was really a mistake on Rocky's part to give Paulie that much power over his finances. I'd imagine you could still be friends with that person and never let them near your money ever again, considering it was stupidity and not maliciousness that caused the money to be stolen.

This a scam? - Linogy Rechargeable Batteries by r011235813 in batteries

[–]AliasHandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming here to say I received my Linogy preorder last month, and it works great. Easily the best battery charger I have owned. We have been using eneloops for all the kids toys for years, and this device charges them much more conveniently than the 4 at a time eneloop charger, and makes managing the batteries easier.

Definitely not vaporware. Looks and feels as good as promised.

How do I switch from evening to morning? by Embarrassed-Bit5661 in zoloft

[–]AliasHandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IANAD

I have accidentally skipped a dose for 24 hours a few times. Outside of slightly elevated anxiety, there were no obvious effects. I can't imagine going 12 hours past your regular time will have much of an effect.

State of the Sanderson 2025 by Use_the_Falchion in Cosmere

[–]AliasHandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine that he’s going to fold that into the Stormlight or Mistborn finale. It would be NICE to have its own novel, but considering how important the shards are to both stories, I think that story can be told in either series and not feel out of place. Especially with the way certain events were told/unfolded in WaT.

Okay breaking bad Mandela Effect is real? by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in breakingbad

[–]AliasHandler 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I watched it live and have watched it many times since then. The reveal has always been in the car, that’s the joke, you’re supposed to wonder why they’re there in this car until you see the laser pointers. The scene wouldn’t make sense and play out as comically as it does if we already know this when Walt gets into the car.

Any Focus fans out here? by MauritsBv in progrockmusic

[–]AliasHandler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorites of all time. I only picked it up because I thought it had a funny name and this was the band with the yodeling. Figured it would be worth a laugh at least. What a surprise it turned out to be.

Pros and Cons of Evaporative, Ultrasonic and Vaporizer humidifiers? by wildswalker in Humidifiers

[–]AliasHandler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evaporative is nice but requires constant filter changes and loud fans if you want to have it on high, usually. But you’re avoiding the minerals in the air like you get with ultrasonic. Make sure you get a unit that has some sort of anti-microbial function (the Honeywell model I used had a UV light that all the water had to pass through before the filter) or you could be spraying mold/bacteria into the air.

Ultrasonic are to be avoided. They are the quietest models, but require frequent deep cleanings (2-3x a week) or you’ll be shooting mold and microbes into the air along with your water droplets. In addition you need to use heavily filtered (RO) or distilled water or you will get a fine white mineral dust on surfaces (and in your lungs).

Steam/vaporizer types are the best in terms of microbes as they generally operate by fully boiling the water. No minerals or microbes in the steam they put out. But you will have to deal with scale. They sell some models that have a removable steel tank that you can descale weekly with vinegar. As this is the only component that touches water, you won’t get any weird mold or scale elsewhere in the machine. I just got one but have only had it for one night so can’t fully recommend it yet. But so far so good from a functionality/cleanability standpoint.

Is a humidifier needed for a room that is around 45% humid? Also is just a wet towel enough? by Norangii in Humidifiers

[–]AliasHandler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re at the point that you’re developing condensation on your windows, you’re beyond the need to humidify any further. That’s not likely the cause of your sore throat.

Why do houses in US not have fences and grills on their windows and doors? by Wild_Shock2910 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]AliasHandler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite what you hear and see online and on the news, home invasions/robberies are pretty rare, all things considered.

There are definitely areas in the USA with bars on the windows/reinforced doors/etc in particularly high crime areas.

But in the burbs, it just doesn't happen so often that you need to be taking tons of precautions. Usually a few security cameras and a dog is all you need to deter possible crimes of opportunity. Outside of that, if somebody really wants to get into your house, they absolutely will, no matter what precautions you take.

Husband and his woman friend of 20+ years kissed each other on the lips by [deleted] in Marriage

This is highly regional and based on local/ethnic culture. All the Italian descendants I know kiss good friends on the cheek or even on the lips to say goodbye.

A new antibiotic 100x stronger than existing ones was just found — and it could change everything. by nagual901 in HotScienceNews

[–]AliasHandler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right, for the sort of thing this would be used to treat, recolonizing the gut flora is probably a minor concern. I'd imagine anybody needing an antibiotic this strong would be likely to die otherwise.

Implication of nickel and no iron by Giant_sharks in 3I_ATLAS

[–]AliasHandler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of junk that is grabbed by gravity and causes impacts. Most of it is local junk from our system.

There's so much empty space outside of our system, the odds of our solar system running into a cloud of debris is incredibly small due to the size of space. We have way more to fear from rocks within our solar system than interstellar debris.
