  • Word of warning, DO NOT use regular Nair down there unless you are fine with potential chemical burns on your nuts for a week. It’s not fun, really really not fun. I’m not even sure I would use sensitive area Nair anymore, it just doesn’t seem designed for coarse pubic hair. I use a Philips Oneblade now with the body groom attachment, I’ve caught the skin once or twice but I’ve found it’s way better than any other electric razor I’ve tried in the past and does a good job. The gap inbetween the blade and stationary bit of the razor is smaller and harder to pinch your skin in.

    Canadian here moving back into his parents house next week after being away for 9 years because he can no longer afford to rent a property of any kind in this city. Or rather I should say I can, but combined with student loans, utilities becoming insanely priced, and an only okay paying job (still nearly $10 over min wage), it means I have nothing left over at the end of the month. I haven’t had savings in over a year and just don’t really do anything aside from work since I straight up can’t afford to. On one hand I’m lucky I found a good job near to my parents that uses the skills I currently use at my job and it even pays a bit more, but it feels like I’ve failed at being an adult the same time. At least I’ll be able to save some money and maybe actually enjoy life for once in a while.









  • I just went through this process when I got a Dreame D10 Plus which has an identical root process as the L10s a few weeks ago with the intent of putting Valetudo on it. I ended up trying but failing after one of the header pins I was trying to flash it with broke off in the machine. If you are brand new to this stuff, personally I wouldn’t recommend trying it. If you still want to try, do not update the robot once you get it and either buy one of the programming boards or at the very least have some 2mm pitch header pins around (standard in NA is 2.54mm). I really wanted to run mine locally as well (don’t like the idea of someone gaining access to a full lidar map and remote controlled camera in my house) and hope in the future an easier method is discovered. I don’t know about the base station for each floor thing, I do know that Valetudo only supports a single map. From what I understand that means you’ll have to re-map each floor before cleaning. If you only want Home Assistant intergration there is a HACS intergration for Dreame that allows for multiple maps. You used to have to jump thorough some hoops and use it with Xaomi cloud or something but the newest beta allows sign-in using the Dreame app credentials.


  • This is bait or a joke, right? What a stupid take, you don’t have to play devils advocate for everything… Just being alive isn’t the biggest carbon footprint you can have, you can massively reduce or increase your contribution based on your voluntary actions. A oil executive probably has a much higher impact on carbon emissions from their choices in business when compared to, say, a monk. “Just go die if you want to save the planet” is not a reasonable solution and these people’s deaths are a tragedy that I hope the future looks back in disgust on.


  • This happens far too often. Usually on a smaller scale that doesn’t get much media attention but oil and gas companies here seem to almost plan to eventually go bankrupt, abadon the wells and pipelines, and now it’s somebody elses problem to fix while they run off with a slap on the wrist compared to what they earned. There are over 80,000 abandoned wells and another 80,000 inactive (so likely to be abandoned eventually) in Alberta alone. The good news is they make oil & gas companies pay for the cleanup funding yearly but it’s not enough if you ask me.


  • I had 2 great finds so far:

    1: A David Clark noise cancelling aviation headset. It was used and a bit old but still worked perfectly. I was a student pilot at the time and was using the cheap headsets the school had so this was an awesome find. I think whoever put the pricing on it saw the weird plugs without knowing what it was and priced it at $5. I remember seeing them on ebay used for around $600.

    2: A old network drive full of pirated content and porn from the early 2000’s. I don’t know what the fuck teenage me was thinking hooking this up to my PC without any idea what was on it but it ended up being a hilarious find. I think it was shared between a bunch of roommates as each folder was named after someone. It was an IDE drive so I made a backup (for reasons), wiped it, and now use it in a PS2. Think that was around $5 also.



  • Roblox may not be hosting the gambling sites but they certainly don’t seem to be trying to stop them. I thought there would be a bunch of hoops you would need to jump through in order to deposit Robux into the gambling site but it just straight up removes it from your Roblox account balance. Is there any legitimate reason as to why that’s a feature? My old account got hacked like 10 years ago and they had more security in place for removing Robux than they do now, at least then they had to deposit all mine into a group and then cash it out, you couldn’t just have it removed.
