I do, but admittedly just with q-tips. quote:I have moderate hearing loss and got fitted for new in-ear hearing aides a few years ago, and when the tech filled my ear canal with goop for a mold, it compacted a bunch of earwax in one of my ears just right, so that a few hours later after I left, I rubbed my ear just right and knocked something loose and it 100% blocked off my ear canal with wax and I couldn’t hear a single thing out of that ear. The day and a half or so until I could get to a clinic was miserable, but when they sucked that poo poo out of my ear, it was drat near eargasmic. quote:Now I clean my ears regularly with one of those soft rubber/silicone ear wax removal loop tools.

Decided I'd try Cyperpunk 2077 on my ancient PC. It... runs it shockingly well, though I have to keep the graphics settings on low. Definitely feels like it's the video card (GTX 960) holding it back, though jeeeeeeeeesus the heat pouring out of the PC case was like a space heater.

Earwax: I use a combo of the drops and q tips - only when I feel it backed up is when I break out the drops.. Politics: is this over yet? Random thoughts: My buddy is renting a house a few blocks from mine, my wife and I actually found him the house after attending an estate sale there and talking to the owner - the house nextdoor to it is owned by the same landlord and has been undergoing a restoration (its a 20's craftsman house thats been owned by the same family for nearly 100 years) - the house has a lot of land and a bunch of quirky old outbuildings but is located on a main street... well... the house is vacant and they are having a hard time finding a new tenant because of covid, and the fact that its kinda a quirky old house - aaaaaaaand you can guess what happened, the tweakers broke locks and took up residence in the garage and a few of the out buildings. The landlord has become close with my friend and I over the time that he's been there. My friend has known that there was a tweaker living in a car on the street next to the house, but he did not know that there was such an infestation, combined with the fact that he has not stopped working - he just didn't know - Today the gardeners at the property tipped off the land lord who subsequently called me and asked if me and my friend wanted to go over there tonight and crack some skulls. Needless to say I didn't exactly jump at the chance... with all of the changes going on here in LA, trespassing, drugs and other things that homeless people do have now somewhat become legal... We spoke to a police officer friend of ours that basically said they can escort them off the property, but they cannot take them in to custody or stick around to make sure they dont just walk right back in. What loving planet are we living on? anyone up on squatters rights?

LobsterboyX posted:Earwax: I use a combo of the drops and q tips - only when I feel it backed up is when I break out the drops.. Might be a silly question, but if they cannot arrest for trespassing, is that due to it not being occupied? Maybe get landlord to rent it to your friend for $1 or something and then call cops on them for tresspassing.

Yeah there's not poo poo you can do outside of throw their poo poo away while they're gone to make it un-palatable for them. Do not engage people high on meth. They will gently caress your poo poo up. There was a dude living in my backyard part of this year, using my grill, doing whatever the gently caress out back with a blowtorch. he'd leave for a day and i'd throw his poo poo away. Over and over for a week or two. Started locking the side gate to the backyard, so he took up using the sidewalk to the backyard as his personal latrine, phone out and all. (I had cameras everywhere.) It's not their fault our society does fuckall to help people like this in clear need of help. Though when they're making GBS threads the place up, it becomes a "what the gently caress do you do man?"

Fever is under 100. No symptoms. Going to say it’s just a cold bug until that changes. Unrelated. Fellow DSLR goons, what’s a decent aluminum tripod. Looking in the $40-60 range.

LobsterboyX posted:Earwax: I use a combo of the drops and q tips - only when I feel it backed up is when I break out the drops.. So occupancy doesn't matter for burglary in CA, other than degrees. Like breaking into a house with people in it is worse. The problem with burglary is that it requires either entry for either theft or a felony (any theft is burg with the entry, but other crimes need to be felonies). That said, for arrest, the evidence doesn't need to be beyond a reasonable doubt. They absolutely can arrest people for trespassing. The problem is, what with covid, is the jails will release them on misdos. But the cops can drive them to men's central to get them away, but they won't. While this sucks, it's basically necessary as the jails have all imposed population caps to make covid spread less fast. FWIW, if we'd passed the no bail proposition, this would have helped a lot because it would have given guidance on whether people should be released rather than just saying "no jail for misdos and minor felonies."

nm posted:They absolutely can arrest people for trespassing. Can they make an arrest the first time? In Florida you have to have a person trespassed first, like officially by police (it's a process), and then they will only get arrested if they come back and the police see them with their own eyes back on the property. It doesn't matter if they came and left and a hundred people saw it, the cops have to see it or it didn't happen. When I was doing security it was a pain in my rear end because trespassing was probably my biggest problem other than drunk idiots.

For places open to the public (stores, bars, malls, etc), you do need to notify them, but a property closed to the public is different. Though even for that, a simple request is enough to make it a trespass.

Yeah, if the property owner wants to "crack some skulls" let him do it on his own and don't get involved. It's situations like that that turn out way worse than you thought it would, and next thing you know you're in jail for having a hand in someone getting seriously hurt or killed. Not worth it in the slightest.

It runs well enough on my Xbox One S - I've not experienced some of the more egregious render issues that have been reported, but it's definitely not optimized for last-gen. It did freeze and crash 3 times on Sunday. I think I may set it aside until they patch it, or until you can actually buy an Xbox Series X first party. Rhyno posted:Bill Barr just quit.

It's still dripping (the seals I had on hand may have been used. I'm not sure, so I'll go buy some new ones and try again.) And the cold water valve is now leaking slowly under the sink. Dammit.

NFS Heat lives up to its name and hammers my PC even harder (CPU sits pegged at nearly 100%, CPU and case fans start yelling - on Cyberpunk the CPU was usually hovering around 40-50%). Very playable though, so long as I turn the graphics down a bit. Xbox Ultimate Pass was $1 for 3 months too, I guess we'll see what this ancient rig is capable of.

So my 3 year old nephew broke his arm yesterday being a stuntman at daycare. drat the kid is TOUGH. No one thought his arm was broken because he was just not that upset. When he got to the hospital the doctors could not believe how calm he was, even when they had to re-set the bone. Apparently he was politely asking them to stop! Poor kiddo, broken arm right at the start of summer! Gonna be a tough one.

My kid was the same way when she broke her arm. Didn't need to be re-set, thankfully. No real crying, just sort of tender and nervous about it. But when they *offered* her some ibuprofen to deal with the pain? There's the screaming.
