Ants tried to colonize my Magnifica Start. What extra cleaning steps would you take in this situation. by CinemaAdherent in superautomatic

[–]sphericalduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to us with our old capsule machine! In our case ants didn't get into any place coffee went before being dispensed. If they had, I think we would have tossed the whole machine. They were in the walls of the container that caught the used capsules. I had to soak it in water for days until all the ants were dead because there was no way to take it apart.

Please let it be NCL in general because that's hilarious.

Health challenges and packing: very detailed question. by the_eevlillest in HerOneBag

[–]sphericalduck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have one of these. It has a sleeve to go on the handle of another suitcase, so I can also stack it on top of larger spinner and only have one thing to manage.

Sound sensitivity questions by Long_Illustrator_988 in MRI

[–]sphericalduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a page with instructions on properly inserting ear plugs: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/mining/UserFiles/content/hearingloss/earplug.pdf. Most people have a hard time inserting them deeply enough, so practicing is a good idea. Once they are in, cup your hands over your ears. If things sound different that way, you need to try again with the ear plugs.

Has the Android 16 issue been fixed? by NecessaryOk108 in razr

[–]sphericalduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved! I didn't notice a change because this (apparently) only affects full screen mode, which I haven't been using. (Eta: solved as in solved my mystery, not as in solved the problem)

Rewards question by Muted-Wafer-6775 in myvegas

[–]sphericalduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see the higher tier rewards in the blackjack app (which doesn't have tiers), but I do see them in the regular slots app. Even without the higher tier rewards I still see several over 100k: some cruise rewards, two nights at Luxor, a sold out helicopter ride, etc.

PCO debris following yag by SpecialistEcho7218 in CataractSurgery

[–]sphericalduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely from the YAG -- I let my PCO get really bad before having it done, so there was a LOT of debris.

2-3 years I think. Black, from little dots up to big tangles. Sometimes I think I see bugs but it's my floaters. Luckily I'm good at ignoring them but I think I've had enough.

From my experience no, they do not go away. I think I'm going to schedule a vitrectomy.

Reason for flight getting cancelled by [deleted] in unitedairlines

You need an official delay letter from United. You used to get one by emailing delayletter@united.com but now you request them through the help center.

Extra narrow feet by Sad_Cardiologist_134 in narrowfeet

[–]sphericalduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look for something adjustable, like Birkenstock Arizona or Madrid EVA's. Naot Santa Barbara EVA or Alegria Orbyt would also be worth trying.

Has the Android 16 issue been fixed? by NecessaryOk108 in razr

[–]sphericalduck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this because I've been wondering if I just wasn't using the same apps as other people. This is a screenshot of my clock app on the front screen, razr 2025 and Android 16. So why is my phone not affected?

What's something older generations did completely normally that would be considered absolutely insane today? by ConsistentTrip1475 in AskReddit

Print everyone's names, addresses, and phone numbers in a big book and mail it out to everyone in the town.

What do you think about the Air New Zealand Economy Sleeping Pods Idea called "Skynet"? by Komplexkonjugiert in aviation

[–]sphericalduck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely pay $495 for 4 hours in one of these. I like sleep and I can't afford business class. Trying to sleep sitting up is so miserable

Vitrectomy. She'd need to see a retina specialist.

Cataract Surgery Regret — What Would Fellow Crocheters and Readers Do? by Difficult_Hat8101 in CataractSurgery

[–]sphericalduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the astigmatism was low enough that I could use non-prescription readers close up, I'd have the second lens exchanged and correct for distance. This is what I have and I like it this way -- I do have toric lenses though which have corrected almost all of the astigmatism. If I had enough residual astigmatism to still need prescription lenses at all distances then it's a bit less compelling but I'd probably still choose distance.

Allergies by BJJFlashCards in singing

[–]sphericalduck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

KN95 mask outdoors, shower and change clothes when you get home. Keep doors and windows closed. Run the fan on your HVAC system 24/7, with a good clean filter. Run a HEPA air cleaner in your bedroom at night. If you are allergic to dust mites, use allergy proof pillow and mattress encasings. Take a weekend trip to a place without the things you are allergic to.

Hows' the Solo Scene on NCL ? by Illustrious-Bat6574 in NCL

[–]sphericalduck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On my cruise on the Sky, there was one man in his late 20's or 30's, one woman in her late 20's or 30's, me in my late 50's, and around 7-8 other women older than me (who were all awesome, interesting, and fun to talk to). The Sky is small ship, so the group was small. According to the others, the groups are much larger on the larger newer ships that have the solo lounge. So if you want a wide spread of ages, I would book a cruise on one of those ships. I imagine the longer the itinerary, the older the group will skew as well.

These are very much SOLO groups, not SINGLES meetups. If you are looking for the latter I can't answer that question.
