My partner is also allergic to mosquito bites and he got a HeatIt and it was life-changing. He previously had to stay home and permanently ice his bites to not get blood poisoning and was in huge pain, but now since it’s always with him on his keychain, he can treat the stings right away before they get too bad and can go out and do pretty much everything now. He still needs to treat the stings regularly, but it’s so much more portable and accessible than the ice packs he used before.
Compared to the larger devices like BiteAway, it performs a bit worse and it’s a bit pricey and the durability is kinda shit, but the fact that it’s always on him and ready to use (as long as you bring your keys and phone), he can treat the bites right away on the go, which makes a huge difference in effectiveness.

I asked AI to decipher your message:

The text you provided seems to be a series of sounds or vocalizations, rather than actual words or a coded message. Here’s my interpretation of what those sounds could represent:

“Hsssssssss” - This elongated hissing sound is often associated with snakes or cats when they feel threatened or agitated.

“Grrrrrrr” - A deep, guttural growling noise, typically made by dogs, lions, bears, or other animals when they are angry, aggressive, or warning others.

“tsk tsk tsk” - The “tsk” sound is a tongue-click often used to express disapproval, disappointment, or mild admonishment.

“Eeeeeee!” - A high-pitched, prolonged squeal or shriek, which could indicate excitement, fear, or surprise.

“Chh! Chh!” - A shorter version of the hissing sound, similar to the “Hsssssssss” but more abrupt.

“Ch-ch-ch-ch” - This staccato sound could represent chattering teeth, perhaps due to cold or fear.

Overall, the combination of these sounds paints a picture of an agitated, aggressive, or alarmed creature or situation. It could be interpreted as a warning or expression of hostility, potentially from an animal or someone mimicking animal sounds.

Without more context, it’s difficult to provide a more specific interpretation, but the vocalizations seem to convey a sense of tension, threat, or unease.

They’re putting anticheat in everything these days

Sun jackets ftw

Sad to see us bisexual women got cropped out 😔

Maybe it’s for the same reason Moscow Mules are served in copper mugs. The container conducts heat well and therefore feels very cold to the touch when you put your lips on it, which enhances the feeling of it being refreshing.

If you’re afraid of falling, wear protectors and just deliberately fall a couple of times to test the level of protection and practice falling to build confidence.
I’m bad at sports and use skating to exercise, so I suck and regularly fall ~3 times per hour, but it’s not a big deal at all and rarely hurts. And over time you really learn how to fall in a more controlled fashion, which is a useful skill to have by itself - it’s prevented me from getting injured when I tripped and fell on a hike.

This reminds me of the time someone posted some meme referencing Ea-Nasir in here, a scummy copper ingot merchant from mesopotamia. Makes me wonder if anybody knew these references because they’re actually so famous and I’m just uncultured, or if they only know them because some history nerd started making memes and they somehow caught on and now everyone learned them through some explanations in the comments like I just did.

These days I’m mostly playing rhythm games and for those I much prefer the trackpads. Less finger strain, I can tap faster, less wear and tear for the buttons, less noise for my surroundings. And in other games with toolbars, even if they have console support, you usually have to sift through shoulder buttons to switch between your items. With the trackpads you can have a tiny macro pad right underneath your thumbs.

As someone with tiny hands who usually uses an extra small xbox controller, I still find myself loving the deck controls more, simply because there is more stuff to configure to my liking. Yes, I have some trouble reaching the shoulder buttons when my thumbs are on the pads, but so far that’s been less of a problem in the games I play.

Not every day, every living minute, but quite regularly and throughout the year, the first 4 beats of “Deck the Halls” on infinite loop in a 6/4 beat so after the 4 beats there’s 2 beats silence before it begins all over again. Weirdest thing is after all these years I don’t even know the text, just the melody.

The game doesn’t support the touch screen :( but will look for plugins in that direction, thanks

Guess we just know different people then

I see the image must have been cropped off to the right

Woah it’s all white :O
Was it a set or did you have to get custom case, buttons and pads separately? Wanted to do something similar as well in the beginning but I’ve never taken electronics apart before so when I read that it’s not that easy and there are risky steps, I bailed and got a skin instead haha

It’s metallic blue when you look directly at it and turns more purple as you look more from the side

I don’t care about data privacy. I care about consent and freedom of choice, so I care if someone else cares about privacy for whatever reason and cannot get it, but me personally, I care very little if at all. I personally do not feel a sense of “creepiness” or whatever from knowing that companies or the state know stuff about me. So I don’t see much value in my personal privacy. On the other hand, we’re barring ourselves from great technical advancements. I’m saying this because it feels like Germany is 10y behind other countries in digitization solely because regulators think I’m too stupid to give me the agency to opt in to sell my soul to our digital overlords.

Out of interest, why? Shouldn’t it be the other way around, that bi is a subset of pan?
