Toes, in Can anyone else feel sensations in their brain?

Maybe check your vitamin levels and make sure you’re drinking enough water. Sugar is dehydrating, a general rule I follow is drinking 2 cups of water for every cup of something else.

gandalf_der_12te,

just like you boil rice

jeanofthedead, in How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?

I hang all of mine from the walls and the ceiling in pretty macrame hangers.

Kouran,

I worry they will try to jump to anything hanging. Its not a big apartment so they have high furniture everywhere to jump to anything in the ceiling…

jeanofthedead,

Mine would try, too. But I have hung every plant in a spot that they can’t get to no matter how hard they try.

Kase, in How many tabs do you have open?

Zero. Maybe it’s the OCD, but I never ever leave open a tab I’m not actively using, even if it means I open and close the same few tabs every five minutes for 8 hours every day.

Yeah, probably the ocd lmao.

I organize my tabs by topic window (small project, chunk of work for a larger project, related idea) then kick them into onetab as a bundle with a short description when I’m done with whatever it is I needed them for.

I typically have 5-30 tabs open in topic windows at any time but I can open onetab and ctrl-f to find anything I’ve saved over the last 7 or 8 years. There must be 5000 tabs in there at this point.

You are the tab master. Thank you for describing your workflow!

jeffhykin, (edited ) in How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?

Fill up their water bowl with engine coolant and they’ll never eat a plant again 👌

\s

Synthead,

To those that didn’t read this as dark humor: coolant tastes sweet, and it’s poisonous. Your animals will want to drink it, and it will kill them.

jeffhykin,

Good disclaimer, maybe I should’ve had one

therealjcdenton, (edited ) in What companies have made your blacklist?

I think it’s easier to say which ones haven’t made my blacklist

Breezy, (edited ) in What companies have made your blacklist?

Burger king.a few years ago i went through the drive through to get my little sister a milkshake. Machine down, okay what about an ice cream? Oh thats down too. " i didnt know I came to McDonald’s" dude over the menu laughed… but then this big ole cunt of a manager comes yelling at me to leave their property! I dont remember what all was said but it ended with me yelling back at her “fuck you, you dont just come screaming at people over a joke. YOU FAT BITCH!” Then i went to a McDonald’s and told their drivethrough lady and got free ice cream while they laughed. And i havent been back since.

Jikiya,

I also won’t be going back to BK, but for a different reason. I last went there around 2015, and waited for 25 minutes for them to make me a whopper. The three previous visits to different locations all had me waiting more than 15 minutes for my order. Having worked at BK before, I know that it doesn’t take 25 minutes if you had put the frozen patty on the broiler 5 minutes after I had ordered it. I could have gone into the building, placed the order, made the order myself, and still have it be under 20, being unfamiliar with the building I was walking into.

It’s a terribly sad thing, as I actually prefer them to McD.

A_Random_Idiot, (edited )

I won’t go back to BK, because BK has gotten brain damage and thinks its fine dinning and that its okay to charge ridiculous sums of money for shitty burgers.

Shitty burgers that I was okay eating when they were 2 bucks, but I aint paying no 7+ dollars for that bullshit. Nah. Fuck you. Pull your heads out of your asses.

Also, in my experience, the ice cream/shake machines are never actually broken… They’re just a PITA to clean so no one wants to run them and have to clean them after shift.

@livus@kbin.social avatar

It's most probably feelings from your nerves, that you are re-interpreting as coming from inside your brain. Kind of like how headaches sometimes feel as if they are in the middle of your brain.

QuarterSwede, in Do you disable notifications for all your apps?
@QuarterSwede@lemmy.world avatar

It’s on for Messaging apps, email, and specific apps I with want or need notifications for. I don’t have it on for any social media apps, I check those on my own time when I please. All sounds are off thanks to my Apple Watch that vibrates.

radix, in American English slang question
@radix@lemmy.world avatar

Never heard it myself, but Urban Dictionary says it’s an actually amazing person.

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jay

cheese_greater,

Doesn’t it say that about every name?

FireTower,
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

Sometimes you see one written by someone who hates a person with that name.

B1naryB0t,

Whenever you look up names on urban dictionary you have to remember it’s mostly middle schoolers trying to boost their own ego or signal to others that they’re hot

Num10ck, in American English slang question

i would guess theres a boy at her school who fits into that picture for her.

sparky678348, (edited ) in American English slang question

Jay is a person, and the picture that was written on invokes the same feeling that this Jay does, the picture is Jay AF.

Why is your comment yellow for me? I’m using the browser.

TootSweet, (edited )

Maybe don’t use highlighter markers on your monitor?

(But seriously, it’s no different color than other comments in this thread for me. Maybe it was a “new” post for you when you wrote that and the rest weren’t?)

vlad76,
@vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

You’re probably right. I’ll stop coloring on my monitor.

user224,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Because it was a new comment then, so it got highlighted. As of Lemmy 0.19.0-rc.5 it’s orange. Or yellow. I don’t know what it really is.

vlad76,
@vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Thank you!

OceanSoap,

This is most likely the correct answer. Jay Is probably either a classmate she has a crush on, or a celebrity that she she has a crush on.

Crackhappy,
@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

I’m going to just assume it’s Jay Mohr. He’s dreamy.

intensely_human, in How many tabs do you have open?

:)

LeadSeason, in How many tabs do you have open?

5k tabs
SPd1wPOCpxgWVCF
At 1k tabs firefox was snappy and responsive, but at 5k tabs it was bad, very unstable, buggy and sluggish.
Firefox would crash often even doing simple tasks, some times it took 2 or 3 tries to open firefox. scrolling through all the tabs a couple of minutes.
But all good things must come to an end. Now I close any extra tabs, have 5 - 30 tabs open.

257m,

Who are you so wise in the ways of tabs?

ctag,
@ctag@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I am in awe.

Th4tGuyII, (edited )
@Th4tGuyII@kbin.social avatar

Legitimate question - just how do you accumulate 5K tabs? Did you just never close any tabs, like ever?

LeadSeason,

Something like that. At first I opened tabs for ”This sounds interesting I will read / watch it later” or ”I’ll probably need it later” This got me to ~300 - 800 tabs but then it became a joke, I just left tabs open knowing full well where not needed. Some times keeping all tabs open payed off like, using the search feature to find back to a project I left off. This happened very rarely.

intensely_human, in How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?

Buy some cat grass so they can eat that instead of your other plants.

Kouran,

I will try that! Anything to appease their sudden herbivorous appetite.
