Not 100% sure, but these come to mind.
I hope it gets better for you.
A few more tips came to mind.
Flonase works better for me, but some people respond better to Nasonex.
Also, sometimes switching to Allegra instead of Claritin often helps me when the Claritin isn’t working. It costs more, so I always switch back.
I have allergies and they suck.
Most of the year, a daily dose of OTC Claritin takes care of it for me. But sometimes in the spring or fall, the pollen counts get too high and the Claritin isn’t enough. Doesn’t help that I’m allergic to multiple types of pollen. What helps me a lot is to start taking OTC Flonase. It makes a huge difference. The thing with allergies is, the medications work better if you get out in front of the allergic reactions. You can catch up after they start, but it takes longer.
One tip that helps some folks is to take a shower before you go to bed. This can reduce allergens building up on your pillowcase. Obviously, launder your linens regularly.
Also, vacuum the house (wearing a mask) and replace your HVAC filters frequently. Consider getting better filters that are good for allergies (but note they are expensive).
Don’t forget the cabin filter in your car.
Finally, the absolute best allergy therapy that I personally know of is immunotherapy AKA allergy injections. This regimen is a major PITA, but it works really well for some folks. It basically trains your immune system to stop freaking out and tolerate the allergens. I did it as a kid and it completely eliminated my allergies until adulthood when I developed new ones. I have considered doing it again, but I’m making do with the OTC regimen for now.
I hope this was at least a little helpful. You have my sympathy. Allergies are no joke, they can be miserable.
The DeDrm plugin and the most recent Calibre worked for me just yesterday on a brand new book. Something that’s easy to miss is that you need to put in the serial number of your kindle device and make sure you download the e-book for that same device. Otherwise the plugin won’t be able to decrypt it.
Similar observations here. I certainly haven’t seen everything, but what I have seen matches your description. I appreciate OP creating much-needed content.
You’re right. Here in 2024 your version is more likely than mine.
View source worked for me, but there’s a couple of tricks to it I think…maybe.
First I made sure I was on the channel’s main page and not one of the channel’s videos. Then I did right-click “view source”. The source is all smashed together (unformatted) of course. It’s annoying to search and read like that, so I copy-pasted the source into my favorite text editor and was able to find “channelid” it that way.
I would assume they were exaggerating and/or were a consultant at some point.
It’s a really nice app. Very customizable.
I’m glad you mentioned airplane mode. I noticed something interesting about my Kindle after I set up a Pi Hole on my home network. The kindle would constantly try to connect to the Amazon mothership. Because the Pi Hole was blocking it, it would try it over and over again and this quickly depleted the batteries (maybe trying to boost it’s WiFi signal? I’m not sure). Putting it into Airplane mode helps preserve battery life noticeably, back to what it was before I installed the Pi Hole.
Yup, making a DRM-free backup somewhere is the only way to protect the content you paid for from the whims of the overlords.
Happy Prime Day to the GROUND!
In addition to the daily dot arricle, Business Insider also has one:
If you want to read a court case in detail, that will take some work. Maybe someone on Lemmy has found one.
You could try court records in various states, but Florida has some of the most complete and easily accessible court records online. Try Miami-Dade or Orange county records and start searching.
There’s a hospital very close to my house. Less than 2 minutes away.
Twice we’ve driven there (the person driving did not have the issue in question). Both times it turned out ok, but everyone at the hospital felt the need to lecture us that we “really should have called for an ambulance”.
I said wow, you guys really want that $2,000 taxi fare for nothing.
There are definitely times when you should call for an ambulance. But it enrages me when you know it’s only about the fucking money, but they give you the concerned sanctimony attitude.
If you don’t have an emergency fund, I would put some or all of it into something like a money market account. It won’t grow very much, but it’s safe and is quick and easy to withdraw when needed.
Otherwise depends on your age and situation, but an index fund (S&P 500) is almost always the right choice. It’s flexible, doesn’t usually lock you in, and will generally do very well in the mid-to-long term. If we hit a recession you might get stuck holding the shares for several months to a few years. The last thing you want to do is panic sell in that situation.
If you have any debt, paying that down is a very smart move, especially if the debt is charging more interest than your investment can earn. Future you will thank you.
As much as I despise Scott Adams, I did think his thought experiment about a bored god blowing itself up to create the universe was kind of funny/clever. He probably stole it from some ancient mythos.
Space itself is 3-dimensional (or 4-d if you include time…and even higher dimensional orders if you want to get into deeper theories).
The reason almost all solar systems (including our own) are relatively flat, or disk-shaped, is because of the way solar systems are formed. Solar systems start as large clouds of gas and dust which coalesce into orbiting objects. The gas, dust, and objects “flatten out” as they spin around the central star because of the physics (conservation of angular momentum).
So even though the planets, asteroids, etc, in our solar system are all mostly moving along a relatively flat plane, the surrounding space is not 2-dimensional. Our planets also vary in how flat their orbits are. For example, Mercury’s orbit has a tilt of about 7 degrees from flat.
