- Comment on my back hurts so bad 1 day ago:
Back pain can lead to depression and suicide so don’t let it get out of control if possible.
I keep a stash of drugs that escalate. Tylenol/advil for minimal pain. I’ll go to 400mg advil without much thought.
After that I have some Rx strength naproxen that usually does the trick. After a few days of that, it’s onto my last stash of muscle relaxers and a tele-health call. I’ve only had to get opioids once or twice and I try to avoid them due to how they mess with my guts.
Also be aware that it could be a kidney infection. Usually that pain will be on a single side.

- Comment on Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world? 1 week ago:
Deserts aren’t barren. They have plants and animals that are already in a delicate state. Even foot prints can cause significant disruption.

In Outlook it’s called the .pst file.
In thunderbird I think it’s an mbox file.
Not a lot of mail apps out there. I’d go with thunderbird mbox.
- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 1 week ago:
If it’s going to be a glorified display then simply get a non-smart tv designed for marketing.
- Comment on how are you able to care more about your job itself than the people at your job? 2 weeks ago:
You’re only wrong because your job has poor management and you should be finding a new one.

I think the packaging also leads to better audio quality due to inherently lower emi.

mITX is more expensive but is smaller and has some other advantages.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 2 weeks ago:
You can do better. I’d get a miniITX form factor of your choice that supports a video card, but omit the card for now.
An amd with igpu might be decent for your needs today and slap a dgpu in later if your needs change.

- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 4 weeks ago:
It’s not enforceable. Contract law understands that sometimes contracts are garbage.
- Comment on How do I beat the roaches in this house? 5 weeks ago:
Get that bait gel. They eat it then die back in the walls where others eat it and die.
Glue traps.
Seal up everything. Foam for the larger gaps, caulk for everything else. All baseboards.

Look up reiserfs.
You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
- Comment on what's the best material for wiping out a cast iron skillet? 1 month ago:
Modern soaps lack the phosphates that really mess with cast iron. I typically do this.
Little bit of water, heat on high until it boils most things off the pan.
Scrape with metal spatula and stick items.
Hit it lightly with soap and sponge.
Dry with paper towel.
Spray with oil.
Wipe oil all sides.

Friend of a friend used dating apps to find places to sleep while traveling, and couch surfing apps to find hookups.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yeah, heat pumps use a lot of energy when running. They are the most efficient way to cool your home though.
Only an electric water heater or clothes dryer compares to the amount of electricity they use.
You can improve your homes insulation or set your thermostat higher if you want to reduce the amount used.
- Comment on Are the research projects for long-term storage already deployed? 1 month ago:
Silica is expected to survive for thousands of years in nearly any temperature, humidity, and chemical environment
Thousands of years is very different than 1 million years.
- Comment on Are the research projects for long-term storage already deployed? 1 month ago:
Even things that seem like they won’t ever change don’t last. Erosion, tectonic plate movement, natural decay of atoms.
Even giant letters written inside of a mountain won’t last.
Best you can do is create a simple structure that takes intelligence to create with the only purpose being to show that you once existed.

There nothing that can stick around 1 million years.
The 3rd installment of the 3 body problem touches on this subject.
