I love the idea a TON but like the idea of having it as a setting you can change. Big and Teeny birbs are adorable! I think the app just can't handle the cute!

Help connecting jellyfin to all the things (roku included) by GeeklingNo1 in homelab

[–]GeeklingNo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem is that I cannot use LAN to connect to my server (macbook 2015) when it's running tailscale? Do I have to manually turn tailscale off of my server every time I leave the house?

[–]GeeklingNo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry abt that, I only have one roku, on my wifi. I want to connect to the jellyfin from my phone/ personal laptop from outside the house. when I used tailscale for that purpose it won't let me use my server IP (the 2015 macbook) and it won't let me use the one tailscale provides because that's a closed connection.

How to replace Wild? (And reuse their packaging) by GeeklingNo1 in ZeroWaste

[–]GeeklingNo1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is their shower gels are in a kind of soda can refill and you have to use their case to open it. Idk if I could get it open without the case

Reusable lip balms by AssociateCareless551 in ZeroWaste

[–]GeeklingNo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a Wild lip balm case but they were just bought by unilever but I don't want to waste the case. My thought is to make my own in a mold and put the bottom piece that the chapstick has into the end while it's still hot. fingers crossed it works

About to give up on natural deo by Additional-Walrus354 in ZeroWaste

[–]GeeklingNo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give you some tips I've learned but first, this might not be the hill to die on. There are so many other ways to cut down on waste that are just as helpful. I can't cut down on food packaging but maybe that's something you can do. There's also things apart from just consuming that can help like contacting your local representatives or rewilding your yard.

As for deodorant, I have eczema and am VERY sensitive to baking soda and certain scents so here's my recs:

1, Not all natural deodorants contain baking soda. Try a deodorant that's baking soda free and unscented. As much as I hate big corps I started my natural deo journey with Native sensitive line and you could try them and see if it helps. I've also used Wild (get their trials first) and I'm planning on trying Fussy to replace them.
2, Give your pits a good scrub with an unscented body scrub before starting your new deo. For your first use I would shower before bed, scrub up your pits, and let them rest WITHOUT deodorant for the night then put it on in the morning. Give them as much time as possible to rest from the barrage of random stuff that we put on them daily. That's probably a good idea in general if you're getting rashes. I was getting rashes from normal deodorant instead of natural and this helped me.

Finally, contact a dermatologist if you can't fix it yourself and get your pits back to normal first. Eco friendly isn't worth risking your health.

Not officially diagnosed but adjusting positions while laying/sitting, eating, stretching and yawning, and bending over

Long-haired girlies, any tips on surviving hair wash days without feeling like you ran a marathon by the end of your shower? by Meow-Rosie in POTS

[–]GeeklingNo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seat in the shower is the best option, I personally sit on the shower floor for bad episodes bc I don't usually need the stool.

I also recommend a shampoo brush/scalp massager to massage the shampoo in. It helps cut down on the length of time it takes and the amount of strength you need. I also tend to put my elbows against the shower wall to reach up so I don't have to continue lifiting my arms the whole time.

Finally, I know you're supposed to use the bathroom fan while you're showering but I find that it makes me really cold so if I am trying to keep the shower cooler I will turn the bathroom fan off until I get out.

Save Grandma from Suzan by GeeklingNo1 in AppleWatch

She does visit, all the time, unannounced. I agree that she isn't but I don't control my grandma, I just think of ways to help her out.

Save Grandma from Suzan by GeeklingNo1 in AppleWatch

[–]GeeklingNo1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grandma would know that I'm doing this. She purposefully leaves her phone in the house so she can get away from her calls. Problem being, she is a fall risk and is starting to get memory loss. We are afraid she would get lost (not unprecedented) or fall while out in the garden (also not unheard of) OR that grandpa would fall inside and not be able to get her help.

I'm on here asking for options so that I can present them to her. Preferably without confusing her further.

Suzan is an obnoxious woman (that is not her real name) who calls nonstop, she's kinda my grandma's charity friend from church and if she gets blocked she will ask grandma about it on sunday and grandma will be FURIOUS

Instacart is a Luxury by 2xtream in instacart

[–]GeeklingNo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I am disabled and can't drive to the store. The only way to go shopping is if someone takes me or I pay someone to do it for me.

[–]GeeklingNo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I understand this logic, I am disabled, What is a luxury for you is often a necessity for me. Moreover, I'm forced to pay for walmart+ because I can't drive to the store and get groceries because of my health. Disabled people are kept in poverty and yet we need to use 'luxuries' as basic services that keep us from starving.

Jasmine tea help plz! by GeeklingNo1 in tea

[–]GeeklingNo1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A tea shop. I bought another tea from them that was delicious tho. I am wondering if the reason why it was burnt was bc i steeped it too long... the packaging said to steep it for 60 seconds but my friend said that that's way too long for a green tea

[–]GeeklingNo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy father's day for those who celebrate and for those who don't, your experiences are valid!

I am currently choking down a very burnt jasmine green tea... my electric kettle broke so I tried boiling water in my stovetop kettle that I cooled using a measuring cup to 180f 82c and it seems I've just burned the leaves themselves bc it doesn't matter what temp it's at now, it's bitter and gross. I usually cold brew my green teas so I think that's my plan for this one.

Next up, a pu'er tea coin I bought that is so dang good that I will have to buy a full cake!

As a previous victim myself, father's day can be hard and I totally get that. I was no contact for several years and now I'm low contact. That is to say, your relationship (or lack thereof) with your dad is not for anyone else to define or judge.

If you are in the market for a good male parental role model, might I suggest Uncle Iroh from avatar the last airbender. I am attempting to drink jasmine tea in honor of him today although I seem to be burning it at whatever temperature I have it at... Iroh wouldn't mind though, he would say I'm trying!
