Has anyone seen a sterling silver-plated heart with a copper base that says "I hate you" with a heart for an "a" in "hate"? It has a sterling silver chain link band

I lost it, maybe when we moved with a moving company (potentially along with my sibling's step father's (and a beloved cat's) ashes in 2024-2025. If anyone sees a bracelet like that, it is unlikely to be a mass produced bracelet, as it was part of a pair that was bought from a store when my best friend and I were hanging out, and it still had a black band at the time. These bracelets were inexpensive, and I had mine electroplated in sterling silver when it became worn and the band broke. I figured I would ask here, just in case, as it had just occurred to me that Reddit might be able to help. I thought it was somewhere in storage, but I didn't see it the last time I (and my family) went through it

I have seen electric cooling plates - very small, of course attached to a wire. I'm not sure what property they use, but I think they directly use electricity to cool things

Does anyone know what they're called? I think it starts with a "p", and I'm not sure if it's "piezo" or something else. I have heard that they're not very effective - I just like the idea

LG Monitor "Out of Range", problem went away, then scrolling down the screen caused the monitor to oscillate between black (pixels off) and light grey

My monitor is an LG 27MQ44B - B. The refresh rate is set to 60 (default), and the screen size is the recommended default. When I googled the "out of range" problem, it said that that was commonly when the refresh rate was set wrong, and to set it to 60. This is not the case. Unplugging the monitor from its power source causes the correct display to appear, but, say, scrolling down a Chrome web page will cause it to start oscillating. I am unsure of how to fix this

Edit: Google also said it might be signal <rate?>

Unable to sleep without quetiapine, but was able to sleep just fine before I started taking it

So, a while ago, I started taking quetiapine. Prior to taking it, I could sleep just fine. It made me very tired within 45 minutes of taking my daily dose. However, now that I'm not longer taking it, I can no longer sleep. I noticed this when I would run out of pills too. I would be unable to sleep, the longest time I was without quetiapine, I think, was 2 (two) or so days. I slept neither of those days. I was not able to sleep until I took my next dose. Has anyone else experienced these problems, and were they ever resolved? I took sleeping medication a few times tonight, and have had no luck actually getting to sleep, despite being close for a while

What is everyone's preferred "computer" "drawing / painting program"? (Air quotes for concept seperation)

I want to learn how to draw on the computer, and I know that everyone *loathes* Adobe, for good reasons. Are there free drawing / painting programs that people like, that are intuitive / user friendly?

Edit: Woof. I was expecting to have, like, one or two recommendations prefered by everyone, and I shouldn't be surprised that I got a variety of responses for a variety of interests. Thank you! I'll check out the recommendations!

Edit 2: The collection is as follows:

  1. Krita

  2. FireAlpaca / Gimp

  3. Inkscape

  4. MyPaint

  5. Paint.Net

  6. Affinity

  7. OpenToonz

Evolutionary benefits of cellulite

I am not asking for medical advice.

I am sure I have seen something in the past that talked about the *good things* that cellulite does. Something about the webbed structure and distribution of fat resulting in the area being more sturdy than in people that didn't have cellulite, which is about 10-20 (ten to twenty) percent of people who have estrogen-primary puberty and body structures. Which is to say, 80-90 (eighty to ninety)% of people with estrogen-primary body structures have cellulite. What I saw labeled it as a secondary sex characteristic, like breasts, Adam's apples, and beards (not necessarily all-inclusive).

However, when I look it up, what I see is mainly about treatments - not because it's harmful or painful, but because of psychosocial distress caused by the ever-pervasive western beauty standards. For aesthetic reasons. Even medical journals talk about treatments, and it seems as if the benefits of cellulite are barely known, or at least not publicized on the first page of Google.

How much energy is in 1km cubed of "empty" space?

I think I remember hearing a while back that 1km^3 of "empty" space had about 1 atom's worth (I forget which one - maybe hydrogen, maybe helium) of energy. Is that accurate?

That is, more accurately, could 1 hydrogen (or helium) atom be used to expand space 1km^3? Were it to be converted into whatever is powering the expansion of our universe?

(I know it's called "dark energy", but my understanding is that the name is a placeholder for something we don't understand)

Is it possible to make a kettle with a mechanical adjuster, that would allow you to set a temperature at which the pressure of the steam (at that temperature) would open the part that whistles?

I know the difference between mechanical and electrical, and I do mean mechanical. I understand that as temperature rises, pressure increases because higher energy means more atomic movement. So I'm asking if there could be a mechanism with numbers on it - a dial - that would increase the pressure required for the lid to open and release the steam

Item frames that use the "player holding" sprite for items

Is there a mod that treats the item frames it adds as a player holding a weapon/tool? I knwo there's mannequins, though I didn't think about that when making this post. That's still not what I want, though - item frames that are preferable invisible, or are capable of becoming invisible

Terraria mod request - Guide to Environmental Preservation doesn't include pots

A frustrating aspect of the GEP is that it includes pots, but not spider webs. I believe there are other materials that it also ignores, but I was told that a mod for this likely didn't exist, and I also didn't find it when searching, granted - I didn't search very hard. I was told, however, that it sounded like an easy mod to make, and so I was wondering if someone who knew how to do that would mind making a mod for that, or if someone could tell me how I could make a mod for that

Why doesn't this squid always do this?

If it has the ability to become transparent, why not do that all the time? Is there an advantage to mimicking the background that being transparent doesn't provide?

San Antonio, Texas

I know the photos aren't great - I was trying to zoom in on them without getting close enough to make them angry. I saw few of them. They look like wasps/hornets, and they're very blue

Why melanin? From a technical standpoint, I can understand that blending in with shadows is good, and a reflective approach to radiation shielding would make you a target, but...

Wouldn't absorbing more heat be a problem? I know some animals, such as cats, use the heat from sunlight to save fuel. But in a savanna, wouldn't heat be the enemy? Tigers have orange and black fur because their prey are generally orange-green colorblind. But they *have* fur. And I'm pretty sure they also pant to vent heat, or swim in the water. So fur is a decent approach to radiation shielding - even colorful fur.

Please understand that I am asking from a technical standpoint, not from any other, especially more harmful standpoints

Shill

Did the word "shill" come from the currency "shillings"? In case there's more than one meaning to the word, I mean someone who influences people to buy products on behalf of a corporation, with the person influencing others *not* being part of the corporation/company, but being paid for the influence. Like modern influencers
