The key chain magnet rated for 60 lbs was $54.95 AUD and the larger one rated for 165 lbs was $119.95 AUD.

The Australia tax is real, I imagine that little key chain is like $20 in the States.

I was talking to my husband who has been traveling for work to an industrial site, and he sent me a picture that included a “permanent magnetic lifter”.

They look like this: https://www.magnet-sdm.com/wp-content/uploads/Permanent-magnetic-lifter.jpg

I had never heard of these and wondered how they worked - how is it possible to “turn off” a magnet without electricity??

I found a video where someone explains how this is possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMma3OJUHhs

I got one of the smallest of these as a gift for my husband. This tiny thing is strong enough to lift 68kg. It’s strong enough to lift me!

I am using vger right now, in firefox. I also use the web app without a download on my phone, as does my husband. Voyager is amazing.

Elaborate?

I know all the words, and yet they make no sense. Are you being snarky? I am new here and trying to learn, and happened to have an experience relevant to the conversation this morning.

I just set up a brand new Lenovo laptop today, that came with Win11. I quickly decided Win11 was hot garbage, and installed Win10, removing all partitions and wiping all drives. I never signed into a Microsoft acct on the machine, created only a local acct in Win11 and again in Win10.

When I installed 10, it never asked me for a product key, which had me scratching my head, until I googled and found that it had already activated Win10 home and how I could activate pro.

Long story short, it does appear that newer laptops have the key in their hardware somehow.

Anyway, the writing is on the wall - I can’t keep going with Windows. Which led me to lurking here.

Agree wholeheartedly.

Same, everything we have purchased from them has been high quality.

I am sorry that your work has been ruined. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in, these instances are what makes lemmy a unique place to be. I hope in the future when lemmy has grown up a bit there will be tools so people like you with a passion for creating a community can do so without this sort of strife. <3

To add simple storage you could go with something like this: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BQ6SHNP1?

I was blown away at the cool design (the case and cover are the heatsink, you install it with a thermal paste pad inside - how cool is that?!) and how inexpensive 1TB m2 cards are now.

If you want expandable storage, then maybe a NAS?

Husband set up one a year or so ago and it has been really cool. Easy to back up and access anything on it.

I have had three moles removed from my face by a regular gp here in Australia. Not a plastic surgeon, just a good gp I trust.

They have all healed beautifully, with invisible scarring.

I tend to keloid on my arms and trunk, so I was very careful with healing. As soon as the stitches came out I put silicone tape over it and kept it taped over a few months.

If it started to feel itchy (a sign of keiloid forming) I would apply a steroid cream.

During the day when I was out and about I used skin coloured silicone scar tape cut to fit, these tapes are very expensive though.

When I was at home or sleeping I used “Fixomul Sensitive” which uses a silicone adhesive and is very inexpensive for a whole roll.

Once they had healed enough that they were flat and white (not the pink or red of a healing scar) I stopped with the tape and was very careful to apply good sunscreen for the rest of a year.

You cannot tell I had anything done, at all.

Be careful with healing and you will be fine! <3

I have google home to control everything, but I still have to set them up using the original apps. I haven’t checked out Tuya, I’ll have a google thanks.

This looks awesome, I would love if there was an android app for smart bulbs, outlets, etc. I hate having to install a new app for each brand.

No one likes gate keeping. Ideally Linux would be easy for people at any level to switch to.

No, but I did once read that the length of human intestines can vary anywhere from 3-7 meters, so it stands to reason that some people are just slower to process things.

This whole thread is hilarious, especially because I regularly go 5-7 days. Longer if I am traveling. I even take fiber!

I recently had to do the bowel screen and because I go so long between samples I had to get special forms and submit each sample individually, lol.
