All of these large spots are in between the two panes of glass. Is there anything I can do about it?

I know this is a long shot, but I gotta ask. I'm in an apartment so taking the whole window out is not an option lol. The wood accent is easily removable, though, so at least there's that

Trouble bookmarking characters on the switch

Hello!! At one point the game told me how to place bookmarks, but I don't remember, and I can't find that function in the settings. Everything on google is just telling me why I should want to use them, not what buttons to hit. What fucking buttons do I need to hit to bookmark someone????? I'm losing my mind

Trying to tell if my shoulder was subluxated or dislocated. Opinions?

Twice now, I've had moments in my sleep where I change position and my shoulder pops out.

The first time: I accidentally fell asleep on my stomach with my arm over my head (bad, I know). My ex yelled in a night terror, and when I startled awake I moved my arm and my shoulder popped out behind me. My panicked movements popped it back in. I had lasting neck pain and limited mobility for several weeks. My memory is poor so I don't know if I had lasting instability or not.

The second time, this morning: I literally was just rolling from my side to my back and my shoulder popped forwards. I woke up instantly, my arm was hanging unnaturally and immobile in front of me, I panicked because I live alone (I actually yelled, which is extremely rare for me), and then I jerked it back into place. It was so fucking painful, and for the next hour I had pain radiating through my entire arm, with the worst points at my shoulder and elbow. After an hour and a half of laying still, sleep finally stole me (I had only slept for three hours before that point). The arm pain is gone and I have no ambient shoulder pain, but my joint feels incredibly unstable. I'll be doing nothing, not moving, and abruptly it will painfully shift and pop and i'll reflexively jerk it back (though not a full pop like when I was sleeping; a mini pop?). Moving my arm out to the side or backwards is painful at the shoulder, and most movements, or any time I try to engage the surrounding muscles, cause instability that either feels like the joint shifting or tendons moving improperly. This is painful. It has really thrown a wrench into my day as I can't do anything I was planning on doing anymore.

Outside of these events, I can move my shoulders in such a way that feels like I've shifted the joint out of place and locked it up on purpose, but it's not painful. I don't know what that is or how it compares.

On top of it all, I squeezed my eyes shut in my panic and started an episode of corneal erosion, because I also have dry eye disorder. I couldn't open my eyes for an hour 😭

What does this sound like to you guys? I really don't know where the line is between subluxation and dislocation. I know dislocation is supposed to be "obvious", but I'm autistic and a ginger and a woman and I've always struggled with knowing what the normal amount of pain for an injury is supposed to be. Whenever I see dislocation on TV they're always yelling and someone else has to shove the joint back in place, but I've also seen articles saying that it CAN pop back on its own if your joint tissue is already stretched out.

Hi yall. I do micro chainmail. I'm trying to make rings that have an ID of 1mm with 26awg stainless steel wire.

My regular micro shear flush cutters seem to have an absolute minimum needed ID of 1.1mm. Also, they're not meant for stainless so I have to replace them after so many rings.

I've tried cutting with an 8/0 saw blade and it's just so incredibly slow and tiring. And I don't have a good way to hold the coil while trying to cut. I would LOVE fully flush saw cut instead of a pinched end from shears, but every time I try it just doesn't feel worth it in terms of the time needed to saw. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or does stainless just naturally suck to hand saw?

I'm using stainless because I can't afford a welder yet, and with 26awg wire I worry softer metals would just pull apart too easy.

Any ideas? Are there ultra thin rotary saw blades? Or very very tapered flush cutters that would work? Even the super expensive tronex ones don't seem to be recommended for 26 gauge steel. Should I just give up on this size? lol
