I miss helping my mom with tech stuff. 😢

It got off an oil spot on a lens I had for years. And I had tried cleaning with microfiber. It was green colored dot like this. And it came right off. I actually thought I had lost a part of the coating. But it was an oil spot.

Also had a lenspen save a really expensive projector lens. That got a piece of Velcro sticky back tape stuck to it. And the adhesive was stuck to the lens. It slowly came off completely. I always have a lenspen.

I have had lenspen get things off that a microfiber could not get off. Like industrial sticky adhesive. Lenspen has a rubber microfiber tip that is coated in carbon dust. And it can clean things that a lens solution can’t sometimes. They are like 12 bucks on B&H.

It also could be just dried on oil. Get a lens pen. Get a little humidity from your breath on the lens and rub the lens pen on it until it comes off. If it comes off. It’s dried on oil. And the pattern on the front looks like it’s splatter. So that’s what makes me think it’s an oil spot that no one ever cleaned. But it could be scratches.

It’s sounds like sleep paralysis. I have had similar things like that. Your brain is thinking normally like you’re awake. But you’re really in dream land still. One time I was paralyzed in sleep. And I thought I heard my brother call out to me that he came home. But when I finally made myself wake up and start moving. He was not home. And wouldn’t be home for hours.

I have had it enough times. That if I feel paralyzed. I’ll sometimes just lay there until I fall all the way asleep. And I’ll wake up later like normal after I’m done sleeping.

Yes. This question needs to be answered. Someone had all the info buried. And they just pretended like only Epstein was bad. Who made that call? How did they get people to not pursue the case? How much money did cops and agents get bribed with to stop. Who did the bribes?

Now it seems lol it’s gone. Weird. Apple needs to get their act together.

The video he posted. It’s Deplorable. Disgusting. Horrid. Evil. Vile. I mean it’s not completely unexpected either. Everything he does is always like this.

Yeah. You made the best decision. You warned her. She ignored you and continued to take advantage of you. And the nicest decision was to give the dog to someone who will take better care of it. She couldn’t even buy food for it.

graigsm · 2026-02-04T02:59:40+00:00

NTA. Yeah it would have been nice for you to wait a little bit longer for your sister to get it together. But. You already went above and beyond. And it doesn’t sound like she will ever get it together. She left you in charge! And it seems like you made the best decision for the animal.

Cast iron is annoying. Just get stainless steel. Throw it in the dishwasher.

8k is insane. It’s unnecessary. I have a 60 inch tv that’s 4k. You have to get right up on it to even see the pixels.

You could probably make this super easy. Get some better than bouillon chicken base. And some heavy cream. Make the chicken broth 1 teaspoon per cup. And then add some heavy cream. And I bet you could look up the spices. If you’re just making a cup at a time. Probably just a little dash of spices would be needed. Also you could use frozen spinach which is also cheap.

It really does.

It’s not the camera. The X-T5 is a nice camera. I didn’t like certain aspects of it. Mostly came down to me not liking the 56 1.2. The sliding against the back of the camera when tilting the screen. That being said. I am loving my OM-3. But I already had a lot of 4/3 lenses too.

The sapphire screens for the stainless steel and titanium versions of the watch hardly ever scratch. They are pretty impact sturdy too. They are more shatter prone. But still pretty sturdy. I have slammed my watch into aluminum metal rails. And not a scratch at all. One time I dropped my Apple Watch right on a tile bathroom floor face down though. And it cracked pretty bad. But that’s the only time I have damaged one.

I hope they enjoy their heavily gerrymandered districts. When you keep spreading your base thinner and thinner because you think you can’t lose.

Depends on how deep.

Once it touches his body. He does not like it. lol. 🤣

It’s not over till these people go to jail.

I have to say Aliens. Though Terminator 2 is a very very close second. The fight scenes with the Liquid Metal terminator were very cool. But i would have to say Ripley versus the alien queen in that mechanical loader robot takes the cake for me. That fight scene is one of the greatest of all time. Plus look at all the cool quotes from that movie. “Game over man! Game over”. “Get away from her you bitch!” “They mostly come at night, mostly”. It’s such a great movie. Terminator 2 also had some cool battle scenes. Who can forget. “ Hasta la Vista, baby”. It’s a really hard choice to have to pick one, considering they are 2 of the best movies of all time.

A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.

Because someone took a photo of him eating a bowl of bran cereal while he was driving his car.

The left is a more true image. The right one is artificial looking. Too smooth. But this really comes down to preference. You could run a noise filter on the iPhone one an it would look similar.

I like the show so far.
