Think i discovered a trick to stop pets going under raised floors

Did this last week and so far they haven't gone underneath once, just make a grid of low walls beneath any raised floor.

Let me know if this works for you 🩷

22MTF UK (pre-everything) in need of a friend, partner, or just somebody to talk to

I've spent the past few weeks searching subreddits like this one in hopes of finding someone in the UK a bit like myself, but I'm not having much luck. I'm fairly quiet and reserved, and i don't like crowds, so i feel like this is my only way to find similar people.

I've known my body is wrong for a long time, probably 4-5 years, but due to financial constraints and fear of judgement I'm yet to do much except replace all my clothes, grow my hair, and shave all over constantly. I keep looking back on the past few years and regret not putting in more effort to figure out what must be done and get started with hormones, laser, etc.

I'm reaching a point now where I'm struggling to cope, and being alone in all this is just making it worse. In an ideal world I'd absolutely love to have someone to share the struggles with and lend shoulders to one another, but I'm losing hope.

In regards to gaming, I love playing coop games, especially open world games with good content, and i enjoy friendslop games too. I play exclusively on PC. I'm not overly fussed about creating a friendship purely over games though, i want a genuine connection with someone i can relate to and just enjoy talking to.

I'm very introverted and prefer to stay inside. The only exception is when driving my car, but i still like to be alone in the car. If i get to know someone well and we have a few common interests or just get along really well I can get attached quite easily because I'm so used to being ignored and forgotten.

I consider myself to be fairly basic and ordinary in the sense that i don't have any traits or interests often seen in trans communities, I'm just an ordinary girl stuck in the wrong body and i want out. I've already got my hair to a point I'm happy with but I despise my face. I've been shaving my entire body for years to make my skin feel a bit more like it belongs to me, but I'm getting really sick and tired of it now and am ready to get it all lasered off.

I don't involve myself in drinking, smoking, clubbing, weed, rallies, or anything of the sort, so if you do any of those it probably wouldn't work out. However, if you're like me and also have absolutely zero interest in any of those things then we might get along well.

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this, but I've already tried another sub and only weirdos reached out.

Anyway, I'll stop rambling now. If you think we might need able to share a connection and enjoy one another's company, feel free to reply here or send me a DM ❤️

Google photo picker shows no local image folders on several apps, including Vivaldi and Brave.

How do i fix this shit, it's really annoying. I'm tired of google gaining more and more control over what i can do on my phone.

Edit - Found a cause but no solution. It only happens in desktop mode, so i assume the shitty google media picker can't detect media requests when using a desktop user agent

i need a friend

i've been alone for too long now, and it's ruining me. i've barely spoken to anyone for years, and i'm losing my sense of self.

if there's anyone here, especially from the uk, who is in a similar situation to me and would just like someone to talk to, play a few games with, or just send a message when times are tough, please let me know.

i play on pc exclusively, so apologies if you have a console. also, bonus points if you like Japanese cars.

it's been 5 years since I gave myself PET by blowing my nose too hard when I had covid. i constantly just want to die every day.

is there anything I can do to get my life back? i've lost everything. i can't function and nobody can tell. i don't speak to my friends anymore, i haven't been able to sing for 5 years and i absolutely love singing, i've had to stop language learning, i can't blow my nose, i can't work more than 2-3 hours a day without my tubes opening from small talk. I CAN'T FUCKING STAND THIS SHIT ANYMORE.

Got a slightly different question

Hi all, looking for some advice.

This isn't exactly the right place to ask this, but I can't find any relevant answers elsewhere, so I thought I'd try anyway since I feel you guys will know more about hardwood sealers than people in DIY subreddits.

I'm making a garage workbench out of B/BB birch plywood, and I want to seal it with Bona Traffic GO, but I'm trying to find out if primer is necessary or not. The Bona website and many people on reddit talk about side bonding or uneven finish without primer, but that isn't a concern here since it's a simple plywood workbench.

Would I be alright skipping primer and just applying 3 coats of Traffic GO to the bench top?

Thanks in advance.

First tax return coming up. Help!

Hi all, I've got my first tax return coming up this year, since my etsy sales count as a side hustle (even though I barely make anything from it).

Can anyone tell me what figures I need to provide? I'm not really sure where to start, and I cannot afford an accountant.

I made over £1k last year, so I think I need to register as self employed but I'm not sure, all I've done so far is add my NIS.

Thanks.

How do you play Ride 5?

I bought this game a week ago and am loving it! ✨

I've never tried a game like this before so I'm finding it quite difficult. I was struggling to steer smoothly with my controller so I figured out how to use my wheel and pedals.

It took a lot of fiddling with input linearity, anti-deadzone thresholds, and wheel settings, but it feels really intuitive now. I've even got some basic FFB as you can see in the video, which is extrapolated from the game's controller rumble telemetry.

X8 Pro Max owners, do this!

Just got my X8 Pro Max a few days ago and I've been tweaking everything I possibly can. One of the BEST things I've done is adjust the speaker EQ.

I have previously done this on my old X6 Pro and it definitely improved its speakers, but the X8 Pro Max can sound almost as good as an F8 Ultra with a quick EQ tweak.

Go to Settings > Sound > Sound Effects - Select Dolby Atmos, then enter the Graphic Equalizer, and copy the screenshot in this post :)

The difference is astonishing. It genuinely almost sounds like a mini Bluetooth speaker, the bass is unreal from two small phone speakers.

Dolby did a terrible job with the X6 Pro speakers, enabling Dolby Atmos made that phone sound much worse, but on the X8 Pro Max they've absolutely nailed it.

Edit - To prevent this from affecting Bluetooth devices, all you need to do is connect a Bluetooth device, go back to the Sound Effects page, and change from Dolby Atmos to Original. Once you do this, it'll automatically disable Atmos when you connect any Bluetooth device.
