Will taking 3000 MG of vitamin c tablets daily be detrimental to my health? in c/[email protected]

As someone in dental, I'm crying about your teeth. That's a lot of acidity to be putting in your mouth.

I don't actually own any of their products but the bbq community generally speaks very highly of it. I figure whenever my current SV stick dies (not an ANOVA, it's a knockoff from Aldi lol), I need a backup so I've kept an eye on the market...

Ahaha that's real cool. I had ear moulds taken professionally and what you did is pretty dang close. Nice work!

When you say you printed IEMs and ear protection, are you able to elaborate?

In my case I've only just gotten into FDM, and I'm having a lot more fun with it than my resin printer, but I might have made enough things for the resin printer that might make that a lot less of a chore.

So far, the FDM has been handy with quite a few functional prints around the house (certainly not yet enough that I can say it's cheaper than just buying the items outright, but we're getting close!), and that's been an enjoyable process.

Not if it's like the chronic wasting disease in deer that they reckon is being transferred by prions taken up by plants.

Lions Mane doesn't ship very well for commercial purposes. You might find it at markets... But you're best off growing it yourself.

Depends, some of us happen to belong to minorities that the conservative right are actively working to oppress, and that's not really something one can tolerate.

It'd be one thing if it was a disagreement about what colour to paint the new children's hospital.

But when they want ethnics in shit jobs for shit pay, queers dead, and AFAB barefoot and pregnant - they can fuck right off.

What kind of lights should i get to make the insides of the houses light up in a semi-realistic (and configurable via computer) way. in c/[email protected]

The lighting systems for Lego kits use teeny tiny LEDs and use very thin cables. Perhaps there are generic options available?

I just googled miniatures LED and some leads popped up for me.

What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance and can't afford dental care? in c/[email protected]

Once you've spat out as much as possible, it's not a foaming mess, just a smear.

Many toothpastes don't foam either.

If you dislike not rinsing at all, my tip is to brush, rinse, then smear a very small amount of fresh toothpaste on.

Opening Garage Door Options (self.motorcycles)

I figure I might as well post some stuff to the Fediverse.

I have a Meross MSG100 to add "smart" connectivity to my otherwise dumb powered garage door. To my pleasant surprise, Meross can be hooked up to Samsung SmartThings, and you can set a routine for when you arrive within a certain radius of home (100m is the smallest), it can then open the garage door. It can even be set to note if you've been gone long enough (I have mine set to 10 minutes).

For more precise location detection, you have to do a little finangling to get it to be hooked up to the Modes and Routines app where you can then also set a location setting that includes connecting to your home wifi.

The finangling involves setting up a virtual switch in SmartThings (as garage door openers aren't "supported" by M&R, but a switch is), and having a routine in ST linking the switch's state to the garage door.

If you don't have ST Labs (only available in USA and KR), then you can make a virtual switch using Samsung's own web ui: https://my.smartthings.com/advanced/devices

Anyway, we tested it this afternoon and it worked fine.

For those without a Samsung phone, this will be a lot harder to set up (if not impossible).

My backup options were:

Getting my Cardo set up (whenever it arrives) and yelling Hey Google open the garage door, waiting for it to go 'sure, what's your pin', and yelling that at it... from like two roundabouts away from home.
Buying and installing a Riders Magic Touch
Buying and installing a Mo-Door
Buying and installing the Garage Door Opener from Vizi-Tec (hooks up to brake line), apparently you do a zip-zip-zip-braaake on your brake and it activates it?
Taking apart a garage remote and making my own version of any of the above, including like the FlashToPass/FlashToOpen (they don't exist anymore sadly) which activated when you flashed your high beams
Tucking a remote into my tank bag and smashing the shit out of it
Do what I've been doing which was stopping, glove off, open jacket pocket, fish out remote and press button, shove it back into pocket, glove back on, roll into garage

Anyone got any other unique ways of managing their garage door whilst on the motorcycle?

British anti-trans rights activist issues John Pesutto and leadership team with defamation concerns notices (www.abc.net.au)

The context:

The British activist, who also goes by pseudonym Posie Parker, spoke at a "Let Women Speak" event outside Victorian parliament in March that was gatecrashed by neo-Nazis, who joined the anti-trans rights demonstrators and repeatedly performed the Nazi salute.

MP Moira Deeming's involvement in the "Let Women Speak" rally led to her suspension and eventual expulsion from the Liberal party.
