It’s such a shame there was an accident on one of the shadow fleet ships. Hope nothing comes of the others when they come to port. /s

flyingjake@lemmy.oneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I have a huge bump/whitehead on nose bridge, is it safe to lance it or what is the best way to erradicate that?5·5 months agoI would say it depends and could be one of those questions you don’t trust the Internet to answer. With the caveat I’ll happily add my bit of wisdom. If it’s filled with white and relatively new, sure try to relieve it.
- try to see if there’s a pore clogged, do some gentle squeezing around it and see if you can find the offending pore. Also note if the bump is squishy or hard. If it’s full of fluid it might squirt right out along with a hair follicle or solidified oil
- If you find a pore but can’t squeeze anything out, sterilize a needle (wipe with rubbing alcohol and let it air dry) and try to clean out the pore if you can
- If you’re really stuck you could try to puncture the skin with the needle, but draining a cyst this way will likely only help temporarily and it will grow back
- If it’s too large and/or full of “hard cheese” you may need to surgically remove it, meaning cut it open with a scalpel, drain the cyst, remove the sac, and close it back up. I would not advise doing this on your own, particularly on your face/nose and if you try this and fail to remove the sac it will potentially get infected and likely grow back soon anyway
Also, I am not a doctor and this is my opinion
flyingjake@lemmy.oneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome?12·5 months agoIt’s often not so simple as a person making a choice and knowing the outcome. There are often many tragic factors that contribute to the situation that resulted in the overdose. One common situation is someone is injured and prescribed opioids by their doctor, perhaps having been influenced by drug companies like Purdue pharma. As they take it they become addicted, eventually the doctor cuts them off and they go to other doctors, then they may find it easier to buy from a dealer, then they may find it more affordable to buy fentanyl, and then maybe they take too much or get a bad batch and od.
They didn’t start taking drugs knowing it was going to be a bad path, they started because their doctor prescribed it and by the time they figured out they were addicted they were no longer in control and may not have had the resources to get out. It’s often not just a question of willpower but one of support and resources to help you up.
There are many other scenarios, but it’s rarely a simple result of a few conscious choices and almost always a result of people suffering in bad situations and it’s ok to feel compassion and empathy even if they weren’t completely innocent in it all.

They also have a robust and well supported set of communities for other distros and often have their support engineers participate there.
flyingjake@lemmy.oneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating?11·6 months agoWatts are part of the electrical properties along with volts and amps. Laptop chargers have the same watts and volts but more amps.
This is incorrect, Watts (power) is the product of amps * volts. The formula is P = IV. Anything with the same power and voltage will have the same amps.
The volume of power consumed would be Watts * time and gets you to capacity and usage units like watt-hours.

Weight is my go to for any measurement I want to be reasonably precise, solids or liquids. my kitchen scale gets a lot of use.
that said, if this is a baked good like a cookie or brownie where you enjoy biting into the existing texture, I’d probably go with less precise and just cutting it by eye in whatever way seems less destructive. 1/5ths is a little tough though. I’d tend to go for 1/4 or 1/6 and feel better about the precision to cut something in half and then half again or in thirds and then half again.
