Wasp nest in wall, specialist comes out, sucks them all out, sprays commercial insecticide into wall cavity. Wasps that were out of nest at the time come back and get confused and piss off, couple days later they're back and have found new unbefore seen holes to fly into, specialist tells me to buy trap and fill with meat. Buy canned ham and dump in trap. All wasps that came back are now in trap. Thanks Ham.

I'm running Zen Optimized as my daily driver and quite like it, closing tabs was irritating at first but I figured out the shortcut and its been smooth sailing ever since

There was a linux version but it seems to have gone poof. For Windows users there's : https://yt-bat.github.io/

I've had many deathstars fail.

Old sysadmin trick I was taught was to freeze the drives overnight, have used this trick on multiple occasions, but once the drive heats back up it's really dead. But you've generally got ample time to backup the drive before it dies.

Bosch, love that intro. Too bad they didn't keep it for the spinoff

I have a friend in Portugal who uses semaglutide that's compounded by a local pharmacy for about 35euros a month. I, in Canada still pay $230/month for Ozempic. For $120/month I could take a 2.5mg dose similar to Wegovy which in Canada right now is $400ish

Its the same drug, just no prefilled pen. All these pharmacies that offer it in Europe aren't accessible from North America without a vpn, and then once accessible refuse to ship to Canada.

I'm very sorry about this. But every time I read "jorkin depeanus" a picture of the Swedish chef pops into my head

Ah my last reinstall was because of important news I didn't read.

Someone mentioned Zen on the endeavor forums the other day. I've switched to Zen Optimized as my daily driver and I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I like it. I'm not a keyboard shortcuts kinda guy but you do need to learn the tab manipulation shortcuts or it'll drain your sanity right clicking on the icons to close tabs.

I have Calm (https://naturalcalm.ca/) which is raspberry flavored magnesium citrate. Get it at Costco.

I did and he was completely useless, he prescribed me baclofen which I take like tictacs and they do jack shit. He was out of ideas so I googled it and found out about magnesium. Got some "Calm" which is magnesium citrate and no more insane pain.

I have really severe Charlie horses and started potassium when I heard this, it helped slightly but magnesium is what did the trick for me.

So lately I've been seeing shorts on YT about a D&D podcast that looks mildly interesting and I'm running out of good webnovels to listen to with TTS at work. So I thought I would give podcasts a shot...

They have instream ads... ~~And it's the same damn ad on repeat~~ Not the same ad, that was a Conan podcast I listened to in the past, but still it's like 4 ads in a row. Is there a tool to download these podcasts and strip their ads? I just read that there's a way to download them via rss so that's what I'm going to try now. But manual ad removal might get tedious over a hundred episodes.

I can't imagine with all the nerd centric podcasts that we wouldn't have automated a way to extract ads by this point.

Edit: At this point, trying a number of things. yt-dlp seems to be the best way to do it. If the podcast is available on YouTube someone most likely has already submitted SponsorBlock segments for it. You can then use yt-dlp to download the episode or the whole playlist using this command:


yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove all --ignore-errors --format bestaudio --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 192K --output "%(title)s.%(ext)s" --yes-playlist 'PLAYLIST URL'

You can even run it directly in Termux on your Android phone and skip sponsors on the go.
