but the real question is who was so motivated as to make it happen

Well there are 330+ million people on the United States so…

Navage sorta makes what you are describing. It’s a neti pot of a device that has 2 tanks. One that will hold a saline solution and one for the ‘waste’ water.

You insert the nozzles into both nostrils and push the button and one pushes water into one nostril while the other has a light suction that pulls the water out the other and into the waste tank.

I’ve used one for a couple years and it legit works. Great for allergies and sinus issues. Just google it or look it up on Youtube.

Being a kid of the 80s and living on the tail end of the Cold War this is just so weird.

The Republicans then, under Reagan, really viewed the Russians with disdain. We were constantly told - both by them, school, and the media, how Russia and Communism was the greatest evil on this planet.

Now all I see every time I turn on the news is some shadow of a Republican, gargling the balls of a Russian leader or representative.

It’s WEIRD I tell you, it’s like that movie The Manchurian Candidate is playing out only they’ve replaced the whole party.

Maybe they need to charge users a monthly fee and add blue check marks. Lol

A quick Google search on the AG fighting Dunn’s release gives more light to this case.

It turns out Andrew Bailey is in fact a total cockbag, not a partial cockbag but complete and total one. A line from his Wiki:

During his tenure as attorney general, Bailey has adopted hardline conservative positions. He has refused to release prisoners after overturned convictions, attempted unsuccessfully to restrict gender-affirming care, battled initiatives to restore access to abortion in Missouri, and staunchly defended former President Donald Trump over his legal problems.

He appears to just take any hardline right, douchebag, position he can and then almost troll with it.

It’s amazing how the US has allowed so many of these assholes to get into power.

Hello all - new Steamdeck owner here. I also own a PS5 and had been wanting to stream to my deck.

I learned about Chiaki4deck and did the install this weekend and was up and running playing games within a few minutes. However, I am still having a few issues getting the Touchpad on my PS5 controller to work right.

The controller works fine with that one exception.

I have a few games that really utilize the pad - is there something that can be done on the Deck side help with compatibility?

Edit: just resolved the issue thanks to @PlasticExistence@lemmy.world: the firmware on the controller I was trying to use had not been updated. Once I did the issue resolved itself.

Thanks all for the suggestions and help

So I’m a huge Diablo fan. Played 1-3 religiously (no pun intended). I had intended on getting the fourth when it came out but a couple people told me they were a little unhappy with the initial release.

I remember the same thing happened with D3 when it was released but after a few patches it really turned into a great game IMO.

I was just wondering how the current play was on the PS5? What’s everyone’s take on it currently?

Like the title says. Looking for suggestions for multiplayer (LOCAL) family games.

I think Monopoly is available on Plus and am gonna download that to try it but am wanting suggestions for other games you guys have played with your family and kids in the living room setting.

Specifically looking for 3-4 player local multiplayer type games.

Thanks!

I recently got the new MK1 title (digital) and just finished the main story. A couple days ago (I think) this patch came out and I have been trying apply it - or my system has tried downloading it and it cannot. Rather it keeps giving me an error that it cannot install and says ‘Something went wrong’ with the error code of CE-100095-5.

I looked up the error online and found the results of that code was:

There was an issue when starting the application. Highlight the application, press the options button, and select Delete. Reinstall the application. Keep the console powered on while the installation is running.

So does this mean I need to delete the whole MK1 game and reinstall??? It seems like it took me forever to download it the first time. Just wanting to get some input if that is the case.

Hello all. I got some cash from family while visiting for the holidays and was thinking about getting one of the PS Plus plans but wanted to ask some advice here.

They say they are all currently on sale but I know everything seems to always be perpetually on sale at the PS store so I wanted to check and see if right now was the best time to buy or wait?

Also, is it really worth the difference between the Extra and the Premium?

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys - my wife bought me this knowing I was a fan of the Alien films. However, I don’t have PlayStation plus. Is there any single player function in this at all or it is solely multiplayer online?

I promised CosmicSploogeDrizzle I would add a little more info about this game tonight. Apologies in advance, I don't do reviews so if this sucks, well it's my first.

I got this thinking it was going to be a full on VR game - it sorta said that in the title, well it isn't (buyer beware there).

The game looks to have three modes, Campaign Mode, Frontline-59 Campaign mode, and Conquest Mode (see the title pic).

Each of the three don't appear to require you play the other; however, the game does seem to have a credit system (for us new to the series). I didn't play the previous version but I believe I read that you would earn credits and prestige which in turn would be used toward earning you new planes/upgrades.

In the first Campaign Mode you start with a couple plane options along with a few load outs. You are given specific missions, etc.

Downside of this - is the mode is not in VR. It is completely in flat screen from the load out thru the campaign. You fly, change views, etc all on a flat screen. Switching views is done by using the controller. Here is a short clip, apologies in advance if it is jerky.

Campaign mode short video clip here

The Frontline 59 Campaign is quite a bit different. It fully uses the PSVR2 capabilities. You pick your plane, go through the load out and then hit the missions. From my understanding though there are only 6 of these 'set' missions. Am not sure what the free fly option is yet since it was locked but would assume it just lets you explore the area in VR once you progress past a certain point.
While it was sorta cool to use VR to look around while in the plane, it was a little disappointing as to how the graphics looked. The ground (trees, scenery, etc) just seemed to pop into existence at a set distance and was very ragged and pixelated. So were clouds and smoke trails. You guys can decide for yourself, here is a short clip:

Frontline 59 Video clip here

The third mode is Conquest mode which I haven't messed with aside from checking out the missions so I am not going to comment a whole lot on this one. It is played the same as the first mode.

You are given a map of the territories and missions to try but I get the impression this is the challenge mode of the three.

I got my PSVR2 and love it so far but the earbuds that come with it will not stay in my ears. No matter what adjustments I make to them they fall out within a few minutes of play.

Am looking for some advice as to what you guys are doing or if you have found some sort of ear hook to help hold them in place better.

I know for my AirPods, when I am running or exercising I have these things I put on them that do an awesome job. I can do a backflip and they won’t come off:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09HQ2P7M2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Only issue is that the earbuds with the PSVR2 are wired, which creates an issue with getting them on. I had searched through Amazon and I cannot seem to find anything that will work that is similar due to the cord/wire getting in the way.

Anyone got any suggestions or has anyone had this same issue and found a workaround?

Grow Light Question (lemmy.world)

Greetings all. I hope this is the appropriate place to post this if not please let me know.

Me and the Mrs. Have a few plants that we are wanting to move indoors this fall that we’re needing more than the usual window light.

We had tried sprouting a few avocados to see what would happen and now have three small trees in pots out near our garden that are growing pretty well. Our porch is not enclosed so the next thought was our garage (it can get too cold outside where we are at).

We were looking at some lighting recommendations. Amazon seems to have almost too much and I was not sure what would be best for the trees when it came to color, etc. I didn’t know if they had to have A LOT of light (I have seen some people say 5 hrs some say 12) and if it mattered as to the type or style of the grow lights.

Well I for one am glad this came out.

This cleared up any doubts I had in my mind when it came for voting for this guy for president. Yessiree, I absolutely am not gonna vote for Hunter Biden in 2024.

Just got a new PSVR2 yesterday and am loving it! However as luck would have it, first time putting it on I smeared my greasy forehead across the lenses (nice!!)

So I looked up about cleaning and first thing I see is not to use the usual glass cleaners. The PlayStation site says to just use your typical lens cloth only but that is only going to smear the grease. As a person who wears glasses I have plenty of experience with that daily.

So what experience does everyone else out there have with this and what do you guys use? I know with my LCD TVs I have found a mixture of vinegar and water and a microfiber cloth works to remove greasy finger prints but didn’t know if that was safe for the lenses.

Was hired at a company as a designer. Went to the production meeting and sat down beside another designer (introduced myself and we started chatting). In comes everyone else and sits down. We all start chatting and do introductions.

Five minutes into the meeting the company owner comes in, chatting with a salesman. He glances around the room, then his face freezes on me - he then looks at the guy beside me and keeps looking back and forth. He finally motions for me to come outside the conference room. I walk out and he asks me what I was doing there. I tell him ‘remember, you hired me and my start day was today??’

He turned pale and just said ‘oh yeah I forgot’. He let me go back in the room but then I heard him call the guy beside me out.

The guy never came back. Apparently he had intended on firing him and forgot.

Needless to say I didn’t stay long before I found another job. The place was complete chaos.
