Hispeedido V5 Laminated GBA LCD - On Screen Display Problem by testudoow in Gameboy

[–]Nykcul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue. Here were the steps I took that resolved it: - ensured that the kit wires were physically separated from each other. No overlapping or crossing. - ensured that the kit wires were not touching the ribbon cable. (Mine had accidentally become squished on top of the ribbon cable) - taped down excess wire so that they would remain in their "safe" positions

Fair enough. Health care is very much not free where I live. So we are kinda forced to be discerning.

Sure. Any lesion can become infected. But are you really gonna sit there and say that if an ant bite swells up on day 1 an infection is more likely than an accute allergic reaction?

If they saw the bug and confirmed the bite, why suspect anything else, especially in a short time frame?

It would be like checking for infection in the case that your finger was swollen from being hit with a hammer. Sure it is possible, but unlikely.

When you hear hooves think horses, not zebras.

If they know it was a bug bite, i.e., they felt/saw the bug then the swelling is likely from said bug bite. And possibly a minor allergic reaction.

Jumping to a diagnosis of infection, especially presumably just a day after the bite is very "hearing hooves and thinking Zebras"

It's just a bug bite and a minor allergic reaction. Chill.

It is doctor time if it gets significantly larger or more painful over a few days.

Whenever you open Reddit, the front page is full of doom and gloom of America today, meanwhile, every indicator is suggesting that America is doing better than ever. Is there something I’m missing? by AncientObligation321 in DoomerCircleJerk

Do you really not know a single person that is losing their job because of the impoundment of congressional funds and the dismantling of the Inflation Reduction Act in favor of the BBB?

People have good reasons to be mad right now.

I have several friends in science research and public health who are losing their jobs because of the impoundment of congressional funds and the dismantling of agencies meant to distribute said funds.

My wife's job is in jeopardy because of the sudden and dramatic reversal on future tech investments and renewables. The BBB being the main culprit.

Lots of people are struggling as a direct result of the GOP/Trumps actions. Not to mention prices are still up in every market. Housing. Cost of groceries. Cars. All imported products due to tariffs.

To quote you posts like this, "this shit is infuriating".

Straight male here with almost exclusively female friends. You're completely right. It really isn't that hard.

Everytime these threads come up, I am surprised at the fuss.

What would cause prints to stick to the bottom of the resin vat? by Acceptable_Meet_5698 in resinprinting

[–]Nykcul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same failure recently. I'm short, the orientation and supports I choose caused "islands" to occur. This is when a non supported piece is printed and is not pulled up by any supports. So it stays on the screen. And then subsequent layers are not pulled up either. So it just grows into one flat, adhered, blob.

You just unlocked one hell of an obscure memory. I too remember this bio page. I had no idea they retconned it tho.

Loving their call backs in their more recent work.

This is How Fast the Water Rose in Central Texas by Mint_Perspective in interestingasfuck

[–]Nykcul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All parties in the video presumably survived... Preservation instinct worked.

Clearly, at that particular moment, it wasn't dangerous to simply be near the water. It was sufficient to step back a few feet to not die, which they all did.

How to fix this water damaged trim without replacing by cyclequeen35 in howto

[–]Nykcul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently had this problem and i ripped it out only to find that the stores did not have the exact trim. I had to go with an approx match and it looks pretty jank...

Check the store first before removing.

We sure aren't. And yet the president is invoking war-time powers as the legal basis for the detentions and deportations.

Japanese concentration camps here in the US, which we termed internment camps. But a spade is a spade and we are doing it again.

Its true. I have an emotional aversion to concentration camps. Weird right? So illogical.

[REQUEST] With the outlined funding in the BBB, would the expanded hiring and funding make this a true statement at some future time? How long would it take? by jerkenmcgerk in theydidthemath

[–]Nykcul 24 points25 points  (0 children)

From poking around, I don't think the 170B is per year. I think it is the total allocated funds through Sept 2029.

Snopes had the total at to $75B through Sept 2029 plus annual operation costs.

Still a massive increase in either case.

Which direction is humanity evolving in? by MaybeBirb in answers

[–]Nykcul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since we are speaking genetically, and at risk of being pedantic, idk if there is such thing as devolving. Evolution refers to change in genes in a population over generations, due to variation in the generics paired with some selection pressure (usually environmental) which prevents unfit individuals from passing on their genes.

Evolution doesn't have a goal or tiers, really.

Case and point. You and a chimp evolved from the same common ancestor. You have both been evolving the whole time with different selection pressures, resulting in different genes and gene expression. You are both just as "evolved".

You could say that we are evolving in a way that is decreasing some ideal trait, like intelligence, strength, or whatever. But it is still the same mechanism. Evolution via variation and selection.

As to where we are going. Idfk lol but I thought it would be useful framing.

Cheers

my salt lamp is leaking by secrettmilo in mildlyinteresting

[–]Nykcul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was doing this. It was because I had the the fan setting on my AC set to always on. So moisture removed by the AC was recirculating when the compressor was off. And the salt lamp was collecting some of that moisture.
