Cover designers that work with AI drafts as a concept?

I spent a lot of time in Gemini describing a cover concept for my work in progress and have something pretty close to what I want. I don't want an AI generated cover, I want a true professional one but this draft lays out pretty much what I want it to look like as a professional cover.

Can anyone recommend an artist to make it real (without just re-doing it in another AI tool)?

Can't add 2nd Yubikey due to windows hello pin popup

I was able to add my first yubikey but when I try to add the second one a windows hello box pops up and wants my pin, which interferes with bitwarden being able to read the key. I think it was happening on the first key but somehow I got around it, but can't with key 2. Windows 11. How can I get this second key registered?

Help, lost collection?

I had the free plan and built a collection and organization (me and my wife) and sent her the invite (she didn't act on it yet). Then I tried to configure my yubikey and found out I have to pay. So I paid for the family plan.

Now it seems I have a whole new thing, my collection I spent a lot of time building is gone, new fingerprint passphrase, etc. All my work is gone. How can I recover that collection and organization I created??

Prompted to save password when I choose a saved one?

I just switched to Bitwarden and also from chrome to firefox for my browser (Windows 11). Firefox recognizes that Bitwarden is in charge in the settings. But when I get to a userid/password field and choose a saved one, I still get prompted to save the password. That comes out of the Firefox address field at the top, without any identification of whether firefox is doing that or Bitwarden. How can I make that stop, since I haven't changed anything thus don't need to save it?

How easy is the switch and life thereafter?

I'm so disgusted with Google for immediately changing maps to reflect "Lake America" I'm looking to switch fully away from the google infrastructure. I bought in back in the old days of "Do no evil" which are gone.

Question is, how hard is the switch? Will calendar invites work as I always see "Add to google calendar" on meeting invites etc? A big spooked by the proton outage recently as well. Is there a browser alternative coming and when? Does proton password management import passwords stored in Google password manager?

Rocker panel replacement

We have a 2021 Miata Club and the rocker panel on the driver side got pulled off on a curb. Looks like tabs are shot. Any recs on how to replace it via parts websites etc? I think a new one can be popped on, not sure if they are painted, not at the car right now.

Thanks in advance for any help. We are in Bethlehem PA.

Water Testing?

Has anyone had our water tested at Bethlehem Twp or specifically Madison Farms apartment complex by Tap Score or another legit tester (if so can we get the scores)? We sometimes have an onion smell and/or is discolored/yellowish. We had maintenance check things, it comes and goes.

It's Bethlehem city tap water which scores pretty high and we don't detect this when we're dining out around the area (perhaps restaurants filter or something). Asking MF if they have any additional filtering/processing on site that could be a factor.

I know occasionally the hydrants are flushed and a lot happens between the processing plant in Lehigh Twp and when it comes out of our tap. We see the water lines being replaced all up and down William Penn but not in our immediate area.

We're getting an AquaTru after doing a bunch of reseach, and also the concern about the recent hacks of water systems all over the country, but still would like to know if anyone has recent real data.

Disability Services Coordinators?

There are these services that help people with disabilities and low/no income, on Medicaid, get things they need like medic alert devices, wheelchairs, things like that. Some of them can be scammy, they just want the government funding and don't care so much abou the clients. Can anyone recommend one that they've used?

Effort Garage in Effort, PA Monroe County?

Does anyone have any info about this business (now closed)? I'm trying to help a former mechanic there who needs his work history from that time (2012-2021). Trying to figure out who owned it and how I can reach them. Thanks in advance for any help.

Disappointed in Stephanie this morning

So disappointed in Stephanie Ruhl's new show this morning. Finely coiffed Morning Joe regular Donny Doisch slamming democratic socialism with LIES that the CO candidate said we had 9/11 coming to us. Why not ask why the Scandinavian countries are the happiest in the world?

Have we not proven that pushing centrist Democrat candidates does not work? That cozying up to the corporations that are killing us like the Clintons did doesn't work? Then the other guy says we need a message about sharing the new tech wealth. Socialism! Good Lord, Stephanie. c'mon man

What a mess

We've had our Tile wallet and keys trackers for years. Works well, easy peasy. The batteries were dying so we got replacements and I guess Life360 bought Tile or something so we have to use Life360? We added the replacements we ordered to the Life360 app after installing it.

  1. It is insisting we turn on physical activity. We are two grown *ss adults and don't want our physical activity tracked. We just want our keys and wallets to be locatable if we lose them. This constant, persistent nag has us wanting to return them today.

  2. It also imported the old key and wallet tracker from the Tile account, can't find any way to remove them. Ok I guess you do a factory reset. Not very intuitive.

Dollar general hiring

A few folks posted recently about wanting something anything to make a few bucks. We were in the dollar general today off freemansburg Ave and 33, Birkland shopping center, and all the shelves were pretty empty. They said they have stock piled up and need people asap to stick shelves. Lanta buses run right to there.

Can't Get Status?

I received my AOR on May 29, 2026 but I'm unable to get any status on the site using my UCI or application number. The UCI on my AOR is in a format of xx-xxxx-xxxx but the help page says the format should be xxxx-xxxx so I left off the first three and tried it with and without the hypen. Maddening they don't have a 'show' to see what I entere but being careful 😄 I sent in a web form to ask for help. Is there a trick to this? Should I call the Toronto Airport number posted by others? I know it's early times but just want to make sure the status thing works for later and nothing is wrong (as it seems to be). Thanks for any help.

I placed an order for a walking stick from Cold Steel and it arrived but was too large/heavy so I put in for a return. They processed it and said I'd receive a mailing label to send it back. This was months ago and I've been emailing them ever since with no response. Sounds like they might be going down the tubes, so I'd avoid ordering anything from them.

My wife and I have tmobile cell service (magenta) on Samsung S24+ phones so not ancient. When I just called someone for example, they were in a quiet room, good service, no tv on or anything, same with me. The last one said wifi call, not sure if all were. I have two sims in my phone.

When I talk on the call, it's followed by a bunch of noise that seems to be what I said but all garbled. The person on the other end hears me clearly, they don't hear the noise. This is happening a lot. I tried 611 but got some AI text that resulted in a system error.

Nothing is connected to bluetooth, wifi is at 6, if I turn that off I have 5Guc. I guess I'll experiment with turning wifi and then bluetooth off next time but has anyone experience this and have a solution?
