3Camels was, maybe still is, fully dependent on the Amazon affiliate program. A program that was reduced at one point, killed off 3Camels competitors, but not 3Camels. Then Amazon asked them to stop tracking during Covid for a time which they did.

This is around the time that I heard about Keepa which has a different model, not solely Amazon but other stores too, and not paid via affiliates program.

Also it’s just faster. 3Cs was getting super slow to notify. You’d get an email, click and surprise, that sale was over yesterday.

I probably heard about the controversy on Reddit at the time but there’s a chance I found this site here which covers some of my recollections.

There’s Instapaper and once upon a time they even gave you an email address to send links into. Maybe they still do that.

Keepa is better, and depending on whether you’re conspiratorial, not compromised as 3Camels was accused of some years ago.

Their email and even their “Plex: Free vs Paid” page is confusing. However, the “Requirements for Remote Playback of Personal Media“ is more clear.

I do not have a Plex Pass, but I stream remotely from a Plex Media Server

To stream video remotely from a Plex Media Server, you will need either a Remote Watch Pass or Plex Pass subscription on your account or the admin of the Plex Media Server from which you stream will need a Plex Pass subscription on their account.

Always assumed it was grape juice, specifically Welch’s which was a popular item in the 80s/90s.

Oh god, me too. Fixing that and how having it connected to my TV disrupts every other device connected to it for some reason (HDMI-CEC problems maybe).

Yes, you can wash sneakers in the washer. Delicate, cold, small amount of detergent, laces out (Dan!) and in a laundry bag or the pair entirely in a bag laundry bag.

You can wash with other sneakers but I wouldn’t wash with clothes.

Consider getting a boot/mitt/hat dryer (like the ones at Costco). Very handy for quick drying and no mold, bacteria, fungi stink. I use mine all year round for this and weather related needs.

Note that the fabric on the soles might let go over time. The glue isn’t so strong.

An AI-powered Clippy… have we learned nothing from Star Trek Lower Decks about what can go wrong with this??

This is great! Thank you so much for giving me some direction here.

I’m going to give this a whirl on one of the units and see how it goes.

Thanks, that’s very kind of you to offer.

I’ve got quite a few older machines. I’m pretty keen to figure out the top four, at least.

Any advice on the following and/or on the method of identifying viable distros and versions in general is very appreciated.

• MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53 GHz, Mid 2009)
• iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
• Mac mini Server (Mid 2010)
• MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013)
• MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)
• iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
• Mac mini 2018

Question for you guys.

How do you know which version to install relative to the hardware? Is it just trial and error?

I have some 13 year old Macs but I’m not sure which distro and version to go with and I’m not keen on spending days figuring it out.

I recall reading another post from some guy who went through like six installs with various problems. Didn’t seem encouraging.

Sounds like asthma or walking pneumonia even, but I’m no doctor. I recommend getting checked out.

You can self-host Feedbin or you can get a paid account for $30 USD.

Lots of great functionality built-in. I use Unread app for iOS as the front-end instead of Feedbin’s web app. A paid Unread account would also give you RSS feed hosting, but less feature rich.

Yes exactly, a game changer for me as well.

I used to use tap water too. I have to highlight why distilled or boiled water is important though. Tap water isn’t sterile and there have been cases of microbes creating infections when used with Neti pots.

Naegleria fowleri is a brain-eating amoeba that has been linked to tap water usage in Neti pots, among other scenarios.

These cases are rare, to be fair, but still worth avoiding with distilled or boiled water. There could be other less fatal microbes junking things up, after all.

I gotta clarify, boiled but then cooled water for use in your Neti pots!

I have nasal congestion due to allergies every morning so here’s some advice that might help you.

You can try a Neti pot morning and night. The NeilMed ones at Costco pharmacies are good.

Use distilled water or boil your own for 1-3 minutes depending on the elevation in the area.

Once the packets run out you can measure 1/8 tsp baking soda, 1/8 to 1/4 tsp non-iodized salt (e.g. sea salt).

For prescriptions, Omnaris might work for you too. Gets things moving and doesn’t have the congestive rebound effect that over-the-counter nasal decongestants do.

All the other advice about controlling allergens is on point too. You can try an anti-histamine (e.g. Aerius) for a week to see if your congestion goes away but allergy meds dry you out a bit by design and gum you up so maybe this won’t have the effect you’re seeking.

You can get a sleep study for apnea but I’d say only if you’ve had actual fatigue related symptoms, not just what you’ve described here.

You could get a breath test for your lungs. Maybe there’s mold at your place. That tightness should be enough reason to get checked out, tbh.

Best of luck!

And she’s in the Spanish original as well, I believe.

Tenet. I’ve watched it probably four times. Got my sister onto it and I think she’s seen it like seven times now.

Very rewatchable. It can make sense but I’d say it takes you at least two viewings to follow along. Probably three.

I wish there was a sequel but I don’t think that’s Christopher Nolan’s style.

I see other Nolan movies listed here. There’s definitely a theme in them with time, story order and apparently, dead wives?

Just watched this tonight for my 12 year old son, coincidentally. He loved the twist!
