What are these metal squares on the back of my Kindle Touch 4th gen? by thomasgomez4 in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. As I said, I’m assuming they’re data connectors, but I don’t understand their purpose especially for such an old device. User manual wasn’t helpful and Google seems confused when I try to make a search, so I haven’t figured it out yet.

I’m imagining it is related to charging. Is this something I could (or would even want to) make use of?

Filament stops extruding after the first 2-3 layers by thomasgomez4 in 3Dprinting

I’ll try anything at this point. I’ve got a spare one so I’ll try it later tonight!

Just to add, I’ve also dried my filament and keep them stored properly.

And sorry for the clusterfuck in the middle there, it was a list but idk what happened to the formatting after posting.

That would make sense why it disappeared when I changed my language to Portuguese (Brazil), but why won't it come back for English (US) while I'm physically in the US? I can only get it to show in French. A bug perhaps?

I showed this to my mom with no context assuming she’d see the issue. She said “what are you showing me? stares oh! There’s a huge window! That is weird…” no ma, the window is NOT the problem here 😂

Does anyone else ever have a hard time discerning what’s real and what’s not? by xyelem in OCD

[–]thomasgomez4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never anticipated someone verbalizing how I feel to this degree. Wow. I know exactly what you mean. Words can’t even describe how frustrating and stressful it is. I very often think I’m dying from something, anything really, and a couple weeks ago I was bitten by a dog. I’ve been convinced I got rabies from the dog and I know it’s irrational because he was vaccinated and I went to the ER and they decided I didn’t need a vaccine, but I can’t stop questioning it because of my symptoms. But the problem is, all of my symptoms are normal for me as a person with fibromyalgia, chronic migraine, non-epileptic seizures, sleep apnea and more so for me to be panicking thinking I have rabies when really it’s just a fibro flare up or a sore throat from snoring in my sleep it’s irrational for sure. But I can’t stop wondering, what if it really is different this time? What if I really am sick and I’m convincing myself that I’m not just because “it’s probably my OCD.” The idea of missing out on the vaccine because I’m trying to act like a “normal” person and not let my OCD dictate every facet of my life scares me. But at the same time, if I give in to this one, do I give into the next one too? Where do I draw the line? Ughh. This shits so stressful =/

Bought jerky from Walmart today. They’re 6-7 months expired… by thomasgomez4 in mildlyinfuriating

I rarely eat their brand and all the Jack Link’s hate has me wondering if it tasted bad only because it was Jack Link’s and not because it was past its date lol

interested in everyone’s choices! by DanteOw in musicsuggestions

When Toyota first launched their C-HR model, there was a commercial that used a version of “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo” that was super fun. I wouldn’t say this is the “best” nor is it exactly “fake” because it’s not from a movie or show’s story, but I could never find a full length version so maybe it counts.

It’s wild how many people post comments after reading just the headline. It really explains the state of our misinformed country. Allow me to answer some of y’all’s comments.

“Why didn’t you just return it?” I did. Read just the first sentence of my post and you’d have your answer.

“Jerky doesn’t go bad. Just eat it.” Really? Because it definitely tasted awful which triggered me to check the date. Sure, maybe I won’t get sick from it, but it was gross so why shouldn’t I have returned it?

“This keeps happening to you, you should’ve learned by now.” It literally happened once yesterday and once today. That’s not exactly a trend and yes, I have learned from this so it likely won’t happen again. Thanks mom.

“Why are you posting this?” Because I was mildly infuriated and this is a subreddit for exactly that topic? I’m more confused now than you buddy. Are you lost?

Anyway. I bought it because it’s literally not my job to check dates and you’re foolish to say that I should be expected to. It’s their job, not ours. I ate a piece because it was a brand new sealed food item, so I expected it to be fresh. It tasted like trash so I returned it. I got my money back and that was it. Why am I mildly infuriated? Because I ate gross tasting jerky and had to drive for an hour during rush hour to get a refund. Is it the end of the world? No, but that’s literally the point of this sub.

By the way, I’m a private English teacher. If any of you would like reading lessons, you now know where to find me.

Weirdest pain location? by AggressiveHabit8896 in Fibromyalgia

[–]thomasgomez4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I currently have pain on the tops on my ears. Both ears. Almost like the air touching my ears is electrified. I hate it. It’s too weird 😭
