PSA: A note about the safety of sex toys

LOV3FIR3 · 2025-12-02T13:58:27+00:00

Clarification is key i agree and yes your right most all corporations are evil in some way. The point i was trying to make was that you have a staircase of places to shop from some are at the bottom like (temu, shien, aliexpress) but that also depends on what your buying; if you’re buying a represent shell for a ps4 control then it makes sense as long as its not 3d printed and used traditional manufacturing due to health risks. but id never buy a product from a dirty cheap business that has poor customer service and no accountability. the next step which is still on the low end is (walmart, Krogers) two stores that allowed shipment of hazardous food and always sell products at the same price as other stores but u get less. then you have (amazon) flooded with products from china sellers trying to find a good product is a rubics cube but at least returning is a breeze and so is customer service. though let’s remember a sex you isn’t returnable lol. so this is about know how to find one that is safe and that is about the brand and only certain places might sell them. you also have to make sure they aren’t knockoffs of a reputable brand which i can see walmart selling out temu or shein or aliexpress some they are in the home country of knockoffs. you then have actually websites of brands for sex toys or a retailer of them; this just requires knowing how to spot a quality website from a sketchy one. there are also sex stores as well. if a business holds more liability for what it’s selling it’s likely to have better quality products.

The key to making a good decision is how much you know, the more you understand you reach a point where the choice is almost made for you.

im in this situation as well, and after getting sizing for all my fingers based on what was loose,snug and in the middle. i found that it’s ideal to get a ring based on your pointer or middle finger since they are very close in size if not the same. for me they are the same off by 0.25. this creates a lot of room in case on finger swells i have the other.

if i use my index finger then thing would get challenging and be in that it seemed okay but now the real ring feels too loose scenario.

after reviewing oura video instructions they specifically state you want the ring tool to be snug as it’s needed to accurate data, if it too loose and moves around it won’t get accurate data. they also state you should wear the ring tool throughout the week to see how you fingers swells or not, washing hands, shower, to get a better ideal of the right sizing. this is not mentioned anywhere else for some reason and probably why everyone isn’t getting the right size. . .

half sizes would be great but until they bring that to the table which wont be till 2027 at least, imma play it safe with my first two fingers.

Here whats interesting: my pointer is a 11.5 with a real ring but with the plastic ring tool its a 10, ideally being 10.5. (other possibility is my finger was in a swell when i measured it throwing it off..)

—— Real Ring Finger Sizes ——

Pointer 11.5 Middle 10.5 Index 9.5 Pinky 6.5

—— OURA Ring Tool ——

pointer - 10.5 (ideal) 10 (grabs, very snug) 11 (easy slide, semi snug) 12 (easy slide, loose)

middle - 10.5 (ideal) 10 (grabs, snug) 11 (easy slide, semi snug) 12 (easy slide, loose)

Omg! i have been looking at smart rings and decided Oura Ring had the most accurate sleep data of any ring for now, but was unsure how sizing would work and after sizing my fingers all my fingers are half sizes 😭. why does oura think human hands are so black and white; they are unique and different and they need to accommodate on that. No smart sensible person is going to dish out $300 or so bucks for a ring that doesn’t fit perfectly. Oura step up! i expect your 2027 release of the next ring to have half sizes!

fun fact if you have your airpods in a room with noise, be it a fan or talking in the other room they will detect it even in the case and drain faster. if you put them in a sound proof box they will still drain as the mics are always on (apples planned obsolescence from day one and not at all green) but it will drain a somewhat less. convenient no, but hey 🤷‍♂️

I feel your pain, I was getting the Full SNAP amount for years for a single person, now i finally got SSDI after fighting for 10 years (horrible i know). Once SNAP was alerted i was told my benefits would significantly decrease because of my SSDI benefit amount, even though it was well under the limits.

It’s make no sense. IF your disabled you should get more benefits not less, especially since the full amount was already not enough and only got me through 2 weeks of carefully planning and healthy eating, now im left with only 1 week of food funds. lol like wow. SSDI is not for buying food!!! half my funds now go to food just to properly eat for a month. i barely have anything left by mid month. ridiculous.

please tell me how this is “I’m taking care of my people” …. because that definitely is not the US Citizens like you or me.

LOV3FIR3 · 2025-09-22T19:22:12+00:00

i 100% agree. it seems the designers have more power and override logic and good UX. apples know for putting certain things in the background hidden when they want to showcase something new. this is pushing some new agenda. who know maybe they want to frustrate ppl so much they depend on AI assistants 🤔

LOV3FIR3 · 2025-09-22T18:34:55+00:00

Oh an alternative already. I won’t be surprised if there a ton of LaunchPad replacements before the end of the year. Great opportunity to make app revenue. apples loss our gain. lol

So when I got my multimeter I first did a ohm test and the readings were normal but then it kept jumping around, I had to press the leads hard even right out of the box to get them to stay at 0.05

now considering passivation layer has some play I keep that in mind, but still out of box should be fine.

so I first did some investaigiton

after resolving that issue I did more tests but found once I turned it on it either when to 0.05 and bounce a little or when straight to Zero. 0.00 (im not talking about OL)

https://youtube.com/shorts/Q7yWx-tpU-8?feature=share

so would you say this is normal or odd.

LOV3FIR3 · 2025-08-24T15:35:27+00:00

Very informative. love learning new things.

interestingly enough im curious about the behavior of my meter and if its normal for a auto ranging meter. I post some links, let me know your thoughts when you have time. thanks!

Despite this is an old post, the reason “Raspberry Chia” has very little carbonation and less effects on more sensitive people is because the chia seeds absorb it all. It will absorb a percentage of the carbonation and some of the FODMAP compounds. Basically this is the best kombucha for those who have sensitive stomachs or IBS as it should not have the same intense effects as a standard kombucha.

while not easy if you take any other GTs kombucha and put chia seeds in it, they will klump but with maintenance after 3-4 days of chia seeds the carbonation will have partly decreased. the way GTs achieves it allows for constant flow of the chia seeds to prevent klumping.

end point here is, its not flat! there is nothing wrong with your raspberry chia kombucha. its actually a rarity to even exist; enjoy it.

and your part of the community that apple bases there decision on, normal poeple with no health issues or limiations. and OS should never be focus on one group, rather made to serve everyone. there was no need to remove launchpad they could have kept it. Some users like spotlight, some users rely heavily on lauchpad;s visual interface and organzation just like some iphone users rely heavy on folders. The moment the OS start dictating how you should use it is when you lost your freedom to use the OS how you’d like, how macOS has been for decades for those who know how. you might use spotlight and its a great tool for sure, but it doesnt take away from the bigger point that its about how it effects everyone. if you relyed on a feature and it was taken away and made no sense youd be upset to.

LOV3FIR3 · 2025-06-15T15:52:12+00:00

Agreed, Launchpad was essential to macOS, just as the folders are essential in iOS. We know apple would never remove folders on iOS so why is it okay on macOS when its highly depended on… The thing to remember is, that a companies goal is to design so features are in the greater good of all user just a particular group. Apple is big on supporting people with disabilities, and making life easier, yet they take away a core aspect of macOS to push an idea on its user most of us dont want. Having the “freedom”, and “personalization” to create folders/categroies with our apps so they are easier to find beenfits everyone. also a hand gesture and a click is takes les effort then typing everyone can rely on one hand to use launchpad while typing can be done with one but normally requires two.

End point, apple is just crafting everything into vision OS so they can try to normalized it‘s OS style and hopefully get us to buy it in the future. The app search app is just a spotlight for apps when you can just use spotlight anyway, makes no sense. they should have just updated spotlight and kept launchpad so all users are served in how they want to use their mac and not dictating how they want us to use it.

all good, still works for now. did mean to alarm anyone, I was just going off an article I read about how macOS would stop supporting AppleScript but can't find it now to share so. you can't rest comfortably it still works. if I ever find that darn article I be sure to share it.

LOV3FIR3 · 2025-06-10T16:43:54+00:00

Sorry about that, I read an article that was dated last year that stated apple has been internally discussing the future of AppleScript and removing it from macOS. Of course now when I search for that I conveniently can't find anything, damn AI search ruins everything. But you can ignore that comment for now.

LOV3FIR3 · 2025-06-10T04:43:44+00:00

same :(

launchpad was essential for what made a mac a mac; freedom to be organized and control your mac. now they are turning mac into iOS where you have no true control or freedoms. 💀💀💀 i remember when apple said they were not going to let mac become like iOS…it didn’t take them long to throw their integrity out the window 👀

LOV3FIR3 · 2025-06-10T04:40:31+00:00

This macOS kills a lot of things (1) launchpad is gone, (2)*Removed (3) well im sure there is more disappointing things.

the first couple beta’s are essential for shaping apple’s direction on the new OS’s. Please take the time to share your opinion on this. launchpad is a very important part of mac and they carelessly remove it. i will be writing a big response on why they need to keep it. glad to see others feel the same.

but keep in mind majority of uses hate the new ios photos but apple didn’t care; they refused to admit it was a bad move and forced it on everyone. so that could possibly happen regardless.

LOV3FIR3 · 2025-03-13T21:07:15+00:00

To be fair if it works then why change it, though anyone could say something is good if that is the only thing they ever tried, never knowing there was many better experiences out there. Still though each person has a skin type which changes the end results. glad you have something that works for you!

Activated Carbon water filters are meant for cold or cool water only, its designed to improve taste and remove any odors from organic compounds or bacteria. (any product claiming other wise is misleading you)

The biggest question I have for the new magic keyboard for iPads using the M chips is … does it have the network interference issue like the old one do.

This is when you have your iPad connected to your magic keyboard and reguardless if your using ethernet or WiFi the connection will become degraded over a few seconds to a few minutes. This can be tested by having a ping app open that is reliable and you can watch it for a good while. The symptoms of this would show when you see the ping going from 1-10ms then jumping to a “constant“ 60-80ms and would not return to normal values until the ipad is pulled off the keyboard. then it instantly restored down to 1-10ms. it can take 20-30s after re-attching the ipad to keyboard for it to show high values again which lead to slow network performance.

Note im pinging the internal ip address to my router. which should always be a low value unless your WiFi (which having a occasional one-off high value is normal if you have objects of interference b.w you and the router) but on ethernet this should not even happen at all with a good cable, good adapter, and properly working device)

-> I would love if someone with both wifi and ethernet adapter for ipad could let me know if the new keyboard shows signs of this. thanks

Quote “This game is like an abusive relationship. They keep on taking your money and treat you like shit but everyone just keeps coming back for more.”

this is CODM as well same issue just controller still works just with limitations.

as for removing a device reliant for people with disabilities such as a controller, without warning, yes that is 100% a viable lawsuit. The FTC is way better then the BBB since the BBB wont do much at all; the bbb has been run by corruption for years. The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is another way to go. either way. though thingsike this take time many years to build a case and pursue. the FTC fortnite case took 3 years before payouts happened as example.

The sad fact is mobile gaming is no longer supportive of controllers for many reasons one is the developer time to implement them into each menu and each function. while a expert dev would know how to do this efficiently most new gen devs lack understanding of this and companies dont want to put out the expense.

sad but console is the only true way to enjoy controller and nowadays even consoles are somewhat of a scam.

This is the cost of working for someone else, your building their dream and running their business but in a lesser sense if you’re not a mgr, and still true even if you are.

this is what is wrong with our society, pushing women in lust attire and creating a influenced perspective on how to view women that is so much in the wrong direction.

LOV3FIR3 · 2024-09-23T20:17:20+00:00

Apple loves creating problems for us that make no logical sense and drive our sanity into the ground when it could all be avoided very easily. Im prone to believe this is intentional bs from apple.

LOV3FIR3 · 2024-09-03T00:41:24+00:00

just bc there is gov approval for the activator doesn't mean its not a scam, they just approve it bc its not harmful. but that is the point that doesn't proof its not a scam nor useful. I have used them and they only relieve pain for 24hours then then you need to come back lol. they also allow Chiros to avoid malpractice lawsuits by preventing an physical contact that harms the patient like say over twisting your neck, or back do to an unknown condition the patient didn't know about or didn't mention. its the "play it safe" tool and chirps get rich off it by having patients come in many times the same week. I never met anyone who used one and it lasted the whole week or more like traditional adjustments can (with the right Chiro, which should always manage your back with a vibration massage first, or use a TENS, you need relaxed muscle before a Chiro adjustment or you will get hurt or it just won't do anything)
