The Kewpie Mayo Ad reminds me of the old Got Milk and Pork ads.

Like its just a generic ad for for the *concept* of kewpie mayo even if it is targeted at a specific brand.

Also I despise that the ad is SO LOUD compared to other ads. Its a great way to annoy me into never buying that mayo.

Anyway ads are good so all the coolzone staff can have health insurance, but this specific one grinds my gears.

Sudden Audio Performance Issues on Chrome? (Audio Stutter/Popping)

So for the past week or so I've been switching to watching streams on Chrome but literally today it's stuttering all to hell and the connection is spotty.

Not having this issue with Firefox.

Turning on GPU acceleration makes it 100x worse so I have it turned off right now.

Anyone else experiencing this recently?

All my drivers are up to date, newest version of chrome etc.

Water Based Lubricant Condoms - Do They Actually Exist?

So I've been trying to find condoms that come pre lubricated with a water based lubricant since I have a sensitivity to silicone oil based lubricants.

These things are impossible to find, especially in the US market.

The only other option is non lubricated condoms, but I seem to only be able to find those in latex, and not in other materials.

the holy grail would be water based lubricated polyurethrane condoms but I dont think those even exist.

I did find Durex Naturals and Durex Smooth Glide, but those only seem to exist in the Indian region?

Is this a liability thing? Or is it just that water based lubricant dries too quickly for both packaging and use?

[OFFER][STEAM][NA-US] Offering 3 Project Zomboid PC Keys

CLOSED

Steam Profile - https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197998954696/

Hello Folks!

Project Zomboid - https://store.steampowered.com/app/108600/Project_Zomboid/

Link to their newest Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjcSftgfjX8

Tomorrow, after probably 5 years of development and about 1.5 years of testing on the unstable branch, Build 42 is going live tomorrow! And with that, a price increase. We don't yet know what this increase will be, but it's currently $20. Odds are it will go up to $25 or slightly higher.

With that in mind, I wanted to pass on the Knox Virus to 3 willing participants!

Build 42 is going to be awesome! They've added farm animals (sheep, pigs, turkey, chicken and cows), they've completely revamped most of the towns except Louisville and Irvington, they've added proper blacksmithing and a bunch of new crafting skills, they've introduced really difficult custom modes as well as made Sprinters a thing that can easily be added to any custom game you're playing. For anyone that remembers B41, the game has COMPLETELY changed!

Tomorrow around 7AM PST they are likely releasing Build 42 Stable and replacing Build 41 as the default experience in the game.

I am looking for 3 people to give me their favorite interaction with zombie media. TV Show? Comic? Book? Movie? Video Game? Artwork? Music? Your best Halloween costume? etc etc etc

Region - North America - United States

I will pick the 3 stories that move me the most and then get in touch with you via steam to gift you a copy of Project Zomboid prior to it going up in cost tomorrow and updating to Build 42 Stable.

Deadline - 6 Hours, 10:00 PM PST - At the end of this time I will pick the top 3 and reply to each person that I'll be reaching out to. Please be online between 10 and 10:30 PM PST so I'm able to do the hand off.

Help Me Spread the Knox Virus on Steam Next Week! (PZ B42 Stable Celebration Gifting)

So I see the incredible amount of work that Indie Stone is doing on PZ, especially for build 42, and I was wondering if I could start a movement for us to get PZ into the hands of new gamers right before B42 drops onto stable.

It appears there are a few reddit communities that exist expressively for this purpose already.

r/RandomActsOfGaming

r/GiftofGames

I'm going to assume that giveaways here would be kind of pointless, like preaching to the choir (might also be against the rules too?)

Anyway, what do people think? I feel like I've gotten so much time for my money for PZ that it feels almost a BIFL product, like an old appliance from the 50s that's still working 70 years later.

ELI5 - Why are we not seeing contestants making Fire Pots/Cradles?

Fire pots/cradles have been around since man basically first learned to make fire and it's probably one of the only reasons we survived long enough to create civilization.

Is this incredibly hard to do in these climates or is this just something not worth it to do? Or are there some sort of regulations where they're not allowed to keep a fire going 24/7?

>!Mr Booth not even trying to keep that first fire going is wild to me, or even at least trying to save some coals to keep smouldering something.!< I feel like I've only ever seen a handful of contestants create a fire cradle of some design, and they usually end up being pretty successful outside of fire accidents here and there.

For anyone not familiar with the concept, fire pots/cradles are basically devices of early man used to keep low temperature slow burning fires/embers/coals in crude containers made from fire blackened wood or earthen containers so they could basically have portable fire.

Finnally Woke Up With Mask On!!!

I have been absolutely struggling for MONTHS to actually be able to sleep with my cpap on. I get like, 1-2 hours until it gets too uncomfortable and take it off, sometimes subconsciously.

&#x200B;

I didnt sleep for that long, 5.5 hours, but the mask was on the whole time! Here is to hoping I can continue the trend going forward.

&#x200B;

Mask seal and humidifier were both happy faces, EPH was 2.7 and total time 5:26.

&#x200B;

Any tips to keep the streak going?

What is the current A1/Orcaslicer Situation?

So, last night I tried to setup my A1 with Orcaslicer and nothing is working now. It recognizes and finds the printer, but trying to connect just instantly fails.

Lan Only Mode/Developer Mode, still wouldn't connect. I tried 2.32, 2.40, I even tried all the different connect versions you can use in Orca, nothing worked.

My A1 unfortunately is on most recent firmware, and I know that's part of the problem since bambu is specifically trying to block 3rd parties from even accessing the printers.

Is this new? I saw another post in here about 8 days ago saying they suddenly also couldn't even use Lan mode anymore.

What is the current solution? Bambu slicer sucks for my A1 especially with the types of filaments I've been suing, and I've noticed my print quality suffers GREATLY when trying to use bambulabs slicer instead.

Has anyone had luck using that orcaslicer software that louis rossman hosted? I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work on my machine.

EDIT: I was able to get it working and wanted to share my solution with other people.

While it may seem counterintuitive, upgrade the A1 firmware to latest from Bambu.
After that, install the version of Orca listed here: https://github.com/FULU-Foundation/OrcaSlicer-bambulab/issues/24

Follow the instructions that Tyler posted for version 2.4 and then just log into your Bambu account like normal and connect the printer the way you normally would, no Lan Only mode required.

This is actually the fix that Bambu initially sued over but then was boosted by GamersNexus and Louis Rossmann since Bambu was clearly just trying to intimidate but was in the wrong.

I was able to connect and then print without issue! I don't how how you would go about updating your Orcaslicer after this however.

What is the deadest mall in the bay area that has a movie theater so I can get the right ambience to watch The Backrooms in an early morning weekday viewing?

Kinda joking but not joking! I read someone else do the same thing and it seemed like the best way to watch it.

Edit 1: Looks like a tossup between Tanforan and Newpark. Newpark has that traditional 80s/90s mall layout but Tanforan opens earlier.

Edit 2: Newpark Mall it is! It's closer to me and it has more of a traditional mall layout than Tanforan. But I will think about Tanforan in the future for more matinee showings of films that have been out for a while and are unlikely to be too packed.

Thanks for all the recommendations!

Ordered Antenna Build, Thoughts?

https://a.co/d/0bgRhCUu - Bingfu FM Radio Dipole Antenna &#x200B;

https://a.co/d/0gd4zinG - Coaxial Cable 35FT,RG6 Coaxial Cable with Weatherproof Rubber Boot,Direct Burial 75 Ohm &#x200B;

https://a.co/d/06o9y5cu - RG6 F-Type Gold Plated Adapter Female to Female Coax Cable Extender &#x200B;

https://a.co/d/03dXNavZ - F Type Female to 1/8" 3.5mm Male Mono Plug Jack Adapter Coupler Converter Connector for Coax Coaxial Cable Cord Antenna &#x200B;

https://a.co/d/04759hf6 - RF (F81) and RCA Coaxial Adapter - RCA Male to Female F81 (F-Pin) Connector &#x200B;

Plan to mount the dipole outside on roof then connect to RG6 that will run from roof to indoors and then terminate at either my Midland WR-400 or Sangean 909x/XHData D109WB. Probably Midland for overnight weather reports/alerts and then either the Sangean/XHData for leisure use. &#x200B;

Will this work better than my whip antennas that are inside the house? &#x200B;

Far as I can tell, the RG6 and Dipole are both 75 ohm, and from what I read, that should be fine for listening only, no transmitting.

CPAP while stationary exercising? (bike/treadmill/under desk pedals/strength exercises)

Has anyone done this before? Has anyone specifically done this to try and get used to wearing their CPAP at night?

Is there any reason to believe this would be less than beneficial or even harmful? Most all NIH studies I could find either find a benefit to exercising with CPAP actively running as well as exercise capacity increasing with longterm CPAP use.

Own ASangean 909x but want Weather Stations - Suggestions?

909x is in perfect condition, nothing wrong with it, but with weather becoming more violent these days I also want to have access to weather stations.

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

Should I just get a standalone weather radio or might it make sense to upgrade to a C Crane 2E or 3? Any other suggestions perhaps?

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

Budget is anywhere from 50-100 for a dedicated weather/emergency radio but open to suggestions outside of that budget.

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

Could I even make my own DIY weather radio? I own a 3D printer and know the basics around soldering/breadboards.

Well, I tried.

First Day, chest pain and tightness induced panic attack, went to the ER, chest xray, bloodwork and ct scan later, released with no issue.

Second Day, mild chest pain and tightness, felt okay, but woke up this morning (didnt sleep really) with a jolt, HR to 120, with hot flash cold and clammy then proceeded go into a weird shaking/poor temp regulation etc. at one point muscle tightness, but it went away eventually.

Called nurses line and I seem to have recovered, I feel the right amount of chill with windows open, no more shaking or weird HR.

A doctor on the nurse line told me to stop taking cymbalta.

Unlikely to get withdrawls after only 2 doses right?

Doctor prescribed it for chronic pain/migraines.

I guess cymbalta isnt right for me! I actually tried going into it really positively too! Because I saw some success stories and wanted that for me too.

[US-CA] Design And Print - Cosplay Mask Attachment Adapter for 3M 6800 for Immunocompromised User

Hello!

Because of some serious health conditions/disabilities I'd rather not disclose, I am especially compromised against respiratory and airborne illnesses and extremely sensitive to airborne allergens.

But my problem is that I love hockey and comic conventions and haven't been to a live game or convention since 2019.

I use a Medium 3M 6800 Full Facemask for medical appointments and crowded costco trips and as you can imagine it's quite alarming for regular joes to encounter in public. I want to be able to add themed outer masks to it to make it more fun and less alarming to the general public.

Because of that, I'd love to be able to attach 3D printed cosplay style attachments to it magnetically, but I would need someone to design the base attachment system.

I don't know of any technical design documents with precise measurements for the 3M 6800, so what I would have to do is send you a full mask with some filters on it already so it's easier for you to get precise measurements to better design the system.

Requirements:

  • You are based out of the US, preferably California.
  • Cosplay helmet/mask design experience is a bonus, I imagine someone already used to making non filtering/functioning masks will excel at a design challenge like this.
  • Can accept shipment of a mask to use for easier design of said system. I will pay for shipping both ways. Just ship the mask back with the prints. I'm buying a used mask specifically for this purpose.
  • 3D Print Files
    • Base attachment system, and dummy outer mask that other designers or myself can use as a base for future mask designs.
    • I will provide the dummy outer mask concept.
  • Print is friction + magnet fit so its easy to attach to and remove from 3M 6800 mask, and easy for outside masks to be added on top of it without falling off the mask.
  • 3D Prints
    • Base attachment system and dummy mask.

I know this is a lot to ask for, but I'd really love to go to hockey games and conventions again and not feel self conscious the entire time I'm there. I want folks to point and smile or laugh, and not point and scowl or laugh (derogatory).

Recently been having some digestion issues and blood testing today has my glucose over 100, some recent imaging of liver shows some "mild fatty changes in your liver".

I dont have a reading of my A1C yet. Am I destined for type 2 or have folks been able to reverse at this stage?

Im male, 43, 5'7" and around 205lbs. I know I can lose some weight and start slowly increasing my activity levels and my eating habits. I also suffer from migraines and mild muscular dystrophy.

Has anyone been in a similar state to me and been able to turn things around? My doctor hasnt commented on the blood tests yet and Ill be talking to them soon, but I wanted to hear some tough talk and stories from folks in here before hand so I can mentally prepare myself for a likely diagnosis.

Edit: Fasting Glucose is 105, not 107, messed up the title.
