What is a product that didn't live up to its advertised claims?
  • I got an uncomfortable cooling sensation that couldn't be wiped off. It made the headache worse.

  • At what hour you go to sleep?
  • 12 hour night shift 7-7... 8 am on work days 6am on weekends

  • What are some other series that give the same kind of cosy, daily life than Harry Potter?
  • I'm pretty sure they mean The Magicians by Lev Grossman

  • Can't make account, I tried and failed with two emails, and it says password doesn't match
  • Exactly. It's not really different from a disposable address.

  • hmmm
  • On top of the idiocy of staring at the sun, I really wonder how this vague search is supposed to help anyone figure out their problem. Unless the results are contextual to there being a recent eclipse

  • thinking of trying linux,
  • I'm imagining that same instance still stuck open for years until you found out.

  • Neil deGrasse Tyson Complains That “Dune 2” Isn’t a Shining Beacon of Scientific Accuracy
  • This doesn't mention anything about it working with any kind of large impact, though. It's all about higher frequency vibrations from layers of sand moving around. It's an interesting phenomenon, but jot what is being talked about.

  • I hate to say it but I haven't been very active on lemmy, but I want to be
  • I've noticed that a lot of the negative news posts are all posted by a few users. I usually check their profile, and if I see that is the type of content they almost exclusively post, I block them.

    I'm generally pretty informed, like you said, so I don't feel like it's being willfully ignorant. A good amount of it is pretty biased as well. So I don't feel like it's the best way to be informed.

  • Grammatically correct "Everyone else is walking around," but I feel like it should be "Everyone else ARE walking around," because everyone implies many people. Plural.
  • I'm not an expert here, but I think it's because these words aren't exactly plural. They are terms for groups of things, and in the way used here, they are referring to a singular group, so they are used the same as other singular nouns.

  • FBI informant charged with lying about Biden family's ties to Ukrainian business
  • I could see people reading this title and taking the complete opposite idea away than what it actually means

  • What happens if you put a black hole into the sun?
  • The PBS spacetime youtube channel posted a video on this a few weeks ago. https://youtu.be/Q6kJaMf3Lgo

  • alright alright I hear you
  • This is why I switched to feeding before going to bed

  • Vivek Ramaswamy suspends his 2024 Republican presidential bid and endorses rival Donald Trump
  • Wow, I'm shocked. Who could have seen this coming. Surely, he won't get his own show or some other media position to make money off of.

  • Colt ACR
  • I'm not a gun expert, but I presume it's because pistols are mostly reciever, which is the core part of guns that houses the trigger and firing mechanism. It has a pretty similar shape among a lot of firearms. Someone more knowledgeable could correct me if I'm wrong.

  • New Steam Beta update allows you to purchase games privately
  • If you read the page linked, it tells you

  • [GPU] ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Overclocked 6GB 1845 MHz Boost ($449.88 - $250 = $199.88) (Clearance) [CanadaComputers.ca]
  • This is an incredibly bad deal, lmao. A 1660 for $200 in 2023. Hell it's almost 2024.

  • Bargain
  • How is it tensegrity with rigid bottles used as support?

  • People of Lemmy! How to get fit?
  • This may be obvious, but I want to add that you should skip if you are injured. Noting that being sore from a previous workout is not the same as an injury. Also, if you are significantly sleep deprived it may be worth skipping, since you won't be adequately recovered and that could also lead to injury. You will miss more days if you make an injury worse than if you play it safe and take time to heal. A day or two missed won't ruin all your progress. Just don't make up excuses.

  • Andy Stott - Posers : Dark and brooding industrial techno

    Andy Stott has a sound unlike any artist I've heard before. Really stretching what can be called techno, in my opinion. Most of his work has this very dark and brooding industrial sound to it with a bit of dub thrown in.

    Talking while performing another task is quite challenging. Do you feel similarly?

    I'm not the best communicator while not distracted to begin with. Often struggling to verbalize a thought or find a word I can't remember for some reason. If I am focused on talking, though, I can usually get by well enough and even be a bit witty, especially if its not face-to-face communication. However, if I'm doing something else, like doing something with my hands at work, and someone tries to talk to me, I stumble over what I'm saying quite a lot. Banter is nearly impossible. I can normally have a bit of back and forth with someone and throw some funny quips in, but in these situations I just end up saying something stupid and often taking things too literally, only to immediately internally regret my choice of words as I properly process the conversation in the next moment.

    I think it's because conversation takes a good bit of processing power for me to have flow "naturally". Any sort of distraction diverts some of that processing power and impedes my conversational ability. It can be pretty frustrating since everyone seems to want to talk while working and it just doesn't work for me.

    Do any of you share a similar experience? If so, how do you deal with it?
