How would you rank the early KMFDM albums pre-Angst but including Opium?

Some of the early albums are good but go on so long that it can feel like an endurance test to finish them at times. As such, they become less of my go-to albums. It may also just be my ADHD, but it made me curious to know how others would rank their early works - including Opium (in case someone didn't consider that an early release, even though it was).

Best Hanzel Und Gretyl album post Transmissions...?

I love the first 2 HUG albums. Über Alles was just ok to me. I love metal, but I liked their more industrial sound on the first 2 albums. I'm listening to Scheissmessiah now and it's not bad, but what would you say is their best after Transmissions? Also, did Oz Faktor ever get leaked?

Do the ring-spun LIGHTWEIGHT shirts hold up over time?

The breathability sounds great but I worry they will be thin and get thinner with each wash.

Is Metropolis Records having a sale this weekend?

I'm not on their mailing list, but I know some places are having sales and I need some items and money is tight. Does anyone know if there's a sale, or have any discount codes?

Large reusable pads for between the mattress and the mattress cover?

Is there a recommended pad or something that is breathable and large to go between the mattress and a mattress cover so perimenopause heavy flows at night don't cause accidents to ruin the mattress? Tried old towels but they shift around too much. I have a new mattress topper but am hesitant to put it on until I can solve this issue. Any recommendations?

A leg band question

I have watched all of the videos online (especially the best guy with the warm water technique and such) and tried different leg bands and what I can't figure out is how, even with Brotu v2 and using floss to help string it through, you are supposed to get that wide mushroom end of the band through that tiny area where there is a flat plastic divider and the hole is above it. Why the hell is the hole above a divider? It doesn't fit in there no matter how much I try to jam it in with screwdrivers, pull with the floss, etc. It's just too small of a hole for that wide of an end considering there is still the middle bar attached to the bottom of the mushroom tip. Thus far, the only thing I found to work is when that flat plastic divider accidentally broke. It was still difficult to get the band through, but it at least worked. Without making about immature jokes about the words I used above, did any of you manage to get it through without breaking the divider, or did you resort to breaking it too? None of the videos I saw broke it, but I have spent so many hours trying not to break it and just nothing works. It will not go through.

Zoom won't do 100%?

I set the preferences for measurement to MM, and it shows MM, but when I use the zoom it is showing "Zoom pixel to pixel 100%" instead of just doing 100% like normal. I am using the same computer and monitor I always use and nothing has changed. I can usually zoom to 100% for an item I own and hold it up to the screen and it will match. I properly adjusted the picture to the exact size but it's not working. Even when zoomed out so it says 100% in the bottom left, if I hold up a ruler to the ruler guides in photopea, it's off by about 20mm. My browser and OS are not zoomed in. What is causing this?

Images compressing beyond limit?

I had my MMS limit set to "carrier has no limit" and it compressed a 3.37mb Image down to 486kb. I then changed it to 2mb limit and it still compressed it to 486kb. Why is it compressing beyond what I set the settings? If it's a 3.37mb Image and I sent the limit to 2mb then it should compress it down to 2mb.

Question about Life

What happens if you land on a "congratulations! You're a grandparent" tile but you didn't land on any of the babies tiles before then - meaning you do not have any babies when you are declared a grandparent. How would you proceed?

Brain is breaking - please help convert colors

I used to know how to do this and now I just can't remember. I have a full color image with the background in different spots removed. Everything showing I want to convert to white. I know I can do a new adjustment layer > hue > increase lightness. But from there I want to change the white to a specific hex code and I can't find a way to do it without using paintbucket. And if I try to copy the hue adjusted layer (even after merging), the pasted layer is blank. How can I convert everything to white in a layer that I can further adjust the color or copy and paste from there?

Need diode switching help

I haven't built a pedal in years and I'm a bit rusty. I'm also not great at reading schematics. Here is the schematic for one I'm going to build, along with a picture of the PCB. I want to try a different diode for the gain stage but but I'm not sure I want to commit to the new sound, so I may want an internal switch to change between the two. Can you help with the following questions?

If I were to add a switch, where would I wire it on the board?

Which diodes are used for the gain stage (D1 and D2?)?

If I add an internal switch would I wire the original diodes in parallel off board, or is there a better way to do it? One concern I have is wiring them in the wrong direction.

Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.

Medication recommendations for depression, anxiety, and ADHD? A few haven't worked. See below.

I recently tried Nortriptyline (Pamelor) but it gave me suicidal thoughts and just made me nihilistic. It also made me wear out faster physically and made me sleep more. I also tried Wellbutrin in the past, and it made me happy for the first month and seemed to be going well, then for some dumb reason my dr. doubled the dosage the second month and it stopped working. He lowered it back down to the original dosage but it never worked again, so after a several months I stopped taking it.

B/c the Nortriptyline didn't work, my dr is now recommending either Buspar (buspirone), which works quickly but apparently some people say it doesn't work well and you also need to take it 2-3x a day, or an SSRI like Zoloft, but he said those take about 6 weeks to work. I have had these issues all my life and they have gotten much worse for the past year, which it why I'm seeking medication again, but 6+ weeks is a long time to wait to see if it works or not, and 2-3x a day is a lot for something that may not be enough. My doctor is pretty open to ideas, and I know anti-depressants are not one-size-fits-all and a bit of a trial and error to find what works, but are there any recommendations in either direction based on your own experience? Please make sure to explain why so I have context to help guide my decision rather than just saying "Try \[X\]". TYIA.

Good lock - can the Theme Park keyboard work with anything else besides the google/Samsung keyboard? [Discussion]

I love the extreme customization for the keyboard in Theme Park but I was really disappointed after taking the time to create one when it said it will only work with the google/Samsung keyboard. Are there any others (possible through f-droid) that this can work with? I don't like the google/Samsung keyboard bc it doesn't auto-cap "I", its auto predict and auto correct are absolutely terrible, you have to go back and fix capitalization/spelling/spacing issues CONSTANTLY, it sends data to google, and all around it's much worse compared to others, like SwiftKey. Ideally, I would love it if this could work with a private keyboard, like Heliboard. Does anyone know if it can?
