scytale,

My wife wants to try invisalign and we’re in our late 30s. She just wants to straighten her upper front teeth (slight overbite). Did your orthodontist say anything about expectations for adults and if there’s any difference?

scytale,

I think the creator of the second one you mentioned (alien.top) halted the project for the time being due to the extreme backlash they got from lemmy users about their methodology.

scytale,

I think they are fine for posts that don’t need engagement. The problem is, those bots also repost stuff of which comments need to be seen by the OP like AITA or posts asking for advice, things that the OP will never see if you comment here on lemmy. Those reposts are useless. Those bots should only be used for static content (pics, videos, etc.).

scytale,

Those were my favorite spiders when I was a kid. They weren’t scary and didn’t bite.

scytale,

The warm tone of an EP, mostly used in jazz and fusion. Second would be a distorted synth lead, like Derek Sherinian’s signature lead sound.

scytale,

You can start with a DNS blocker in the meantime. It’s just configuring your router to use an ad-blocking DNS server like Mullvad, Control D, or Aha for example. No additional hardware, tools, or setup required. Then when you’re ready, you can try setting up a pihole.

What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...

scytale,

You can absolutely configure the default search engine on your browser to a custom one in some cases. I use startpage and it isn’t in the default options, but it can be added.

scytale,

Yeah, I feel like hot tubs are great only if someone else is maintaining it for you. So either go somewhere and pay to use it, or own one and pay someone to keep it running well.

scytale,

Ramen. There are a lot of ways to do the broth faster, but nothing beats the real thing that needs to be boiled over several hours; and I don’t have the time to do that. I make a lot of other japanese dishes myself but ramen will always be eaten at a restaurant.

scytale,

On electric toothbrushes, my hygienist basically told me: Imagine how many times you go back and forth manually with your hand when brushing. Now compare that to how many times an electric toothbrush can do the same in the same time frame. So the latter is more effective.

I remember someone attempted to create an instance to centralize all content from nsfw instances so your All feed is explicitly nsfw and you don’t need to subscribe. Dunno what happened but I think the instance is gone now.

Does the old.reddit redirect work? I installed sinkit to try it out but it still loads the mobile interface even with redirect toggled on.

Edit: Nevermind, it worked after restarting. Thanks for the recommendation.

It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...

scytale,

Because the music in Joe Schmo’s video gets claimed by the artist’s label/distributor, and they get paid for it. I experienced this first hand when I uploaded a music video of my song on my youtube channel and my distributor claimed it. I had to go and prove to them that I’m the very same person and owner of the music before they released the copyright claim on my video.

scytale,

Not a student, but when I study for certification exams, I listen to movie soundtracks. Stuff from Johann Johannsson, Nick Cave, Bear McCreary, Thomas Newman, Max Richter, and some Hans Zimmer. No lyrics so it’s not hard to concentrate.

scytale,

Is it right that Apple is putting the responsibility of preventing it on app developers?

scytale,

Just searching Documentaries pulls up multiple communities where you can post this.

scytale,

Machete - versatile for protection, hunting, cooking

Water purifier - no explanation needed

Night vision goggles maybe? - more discrete than a flashlight

Jeep - but you know that thing will break down pretty quickly

scytale,

I misread the headline as “cinematography” and imagined they were watching a bunch of Roger Deakins films.

scytale,

Man, I don’t remember the exact model, but it was a newer black Nokia phone I think. I remember the one before it though, the OG Motorola Razr flip phone.

scytale,

Not sure if it’s your thing, but there’s a new True Detective season coming next month.

scytale,

I love how you can just randomly a join a watchparty at caracal even without an account. Thanks for the recommendation.

scytale,

This dude is crossing over to Korea.

scytale,

Listen to music. It’s something you can enjoy without using your eyes, so you can rest them especially if you work in front of a screen all day.

scytale,

Same as the California carcinogen warning on everything making it almost useless.
