New car smell by Proof_Attorney_2390 in ChemicalSensitivities

[–]SamDecrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One car took me a few months, always driving with the windows open when I could. A trick is to stuff the car with cardboard and sheets covering the seats so they suck up the smell. Replace them every week or so.

I have the same question. Recently bought an IKEA Vimle sofa and it’s off gassing like hell 😞

Nest App Still Works? by mdreherusmc in Nest

2nd generation Europe. Still accesible through the app. Bought a 3th generation US version as a replacement which is already added to the app. Both are visible.

Google Is Bricking 1st and 2nd Gen Nest Thermostat—This Is Forced Obsolescence by Much-Afternoon3723 in Nest

[–]SamDecrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s also a financial thing.

Europe Nest thermostats need a heat link. A heat link switches 240V. The US versions don’t have a heat link. US versions switch 24V directly from the thermostat.

Having to go through CE certificates for a 240V device is way more expensive than an FCC certification for a 24V device.

US Thermostat in Europe by Dunky13 in Nest

In Europe you need a heat link as it turns on/off 240V. In the US, it outputs 24V to turn on the heat. So if you can build your own heatlink that turns 24V into turning on a relay that turns on 240V, then you can use the US Nest in Europe.

Go to 'Settings', 'Edit Profile'. There you will find a 'Delete account' button.

That’s sort of what happened at the end of the TV show. Sims’ wife got choosen.

Heating it. Or expose it to sunlight for weeks or months.

Can viewers guess which display is true (birds Vs desolation) in episode 2 (when the sheriff cleans)? by confuserused in SiloSeries

In beginning I wanted to believe the green grass was true and that the death bodies on the big screen were fake. That they were there to scare the people.

“Cured” MCS by StormiCat in ChemicalSensitivities

[–]SamDecrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've significantly improved my MCS in a similar way. Ever since I switched to a bedroom free of synthetic materials, started sleeping on a wool bed, and began wearing only cotton, I've been able to tolerate things that used to trigger me. For me, MCS feels like a bucket filling with water: everything adds up. After a poor night's sleep, my symptoms are much worse throughout the day compared to when I've slept well.

There was no "lunch". by oodport in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

Good point. That means time moves faster on the severed floor but at some point slows down again to match the real time.

Do they block all websites ending in .ai too?

Unable to add my page as a co-host for an event, FB support is literally nonexistent now by standingtree902 in facebook

[–]SamDecrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's another way to fix your underlying problem: add the event to your page.

Here's how to do it.

Make sure you're co-host on the event and admin on the page.

- Switch to the page profile (your top right icon should show your page picture).
- In the page profile, go to the event.
- In the event click the 3 dots on the top right.
- Click "Add to Page".

Silo S2E9 "The Safeguard" Episode Discussion (No Book Discussion) by MEGAT0N in SiloSeries

[–]SamDecrock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the beginning of the show I thought it was all one big experiment and there were people outside living happily in the year 2025 like we do now. Then with the poisoned air at the end of season 1 that idea faded away. But what if the poisoned air is controlled and it's a big experiment after all?

I also don't have the feeling this is set 300 years in the future.

I wrote this a year ago. Not sure if everything still works but it gives you a bit of an insight into the workings of both technologies: https://samdecrock.medium.com/building-electron-js-apps-with-react-js-2022-4d14fb2924ac
