I mean the least-harmful/added ingredients and scentfree preferably?

Currently I would guess Ivory...

Okay this feels like such a basic and dumb question but I cannot figure it out. I followed a link to a Mastodon post and saw a reply I wanted to make my own reply to. No problem, I figured I have a CherryPick account which federates with Mastodon so this should be a breeze. The problem is that post IDs are obviously different across instances so I can't simply modify the URL to find the post and it hasn't synced with my instance so I can't use search to find it either. Obviously I can't login to the Mastodon instance with my account either, sadly, as much as I would love that. So I manually looked up the user and found them on my instance, but despite showing more recent posts I can't find the one I want to reply to! The post they replied to is available on my instance, their account is available, why the heck is this one reply just not available! What do I do here, just give up?

I have been trying out various therapy services lately (they all suck and do nothing, but that's another topic). One of the things that the therapists always ask/say is if I do "self care" or tell me to do more "self care". They talk about all kinds of different things that range from eating right to eating something as a treat to exercising to going for a walk to finding a hobby to etc.

So it seems like "self care" is literally anything that benefits your existence. And I'm quite frankly confused. I live alone and have zero responsibilities outside of work. Isn't every moment of every day when I'm not working considered self care? When I go home at the end of the day, I have dinner and dick around on the internet. I don't have kids or pets so there's nothing else to worry about. I don't have any extra responsibilities. My continued existence is "self care". I don't get it.

What I would understand in all of this is if I had maybe like kids or a sick family member I had to take care of. Is that who "self care" is for? People that have extra responsibilities? Because for those of us loners, basically our entire existence is self care. So I'm confused at what any of that is supposed to accomplish. I already do everything for myself.

Drag knows that being a furry isn't all about sex. It's mostly about liking cartoon animals. But nonetheless, drag did have a preconception of the furry community being a generally sex-positive space due to all the queer floating around. Drag recently had a bizarre experience in which a community of furries was weirdly particular about a certain dirty joke, which had never been a problem in other online communities. Are furries really sex negative compared to most people?

Pure conjectural or anecdotal but it is my intuition that there is something to it

EDIT: My running theory is related to hormesis or tolerance where the body produces an opposite effect to the ligand to maintain homeostasis and there is not a sufficient dose of the exogenous drug taken to override the body's compensatory reaction

So even tho caffeine is a stimulant (adenosine antagonist) it actually causes the body to produce the opposite reaction, causing the reverse effect of making you sleepy

I know I can use an HDMI source like a Raspberry Pi and a small screen for HDMI and could twist copper cable together and measure continuity through them to narrow down which is which but I'm wondering if there is an easier way. Maybe something I connect to either end?

Hey all,

I’ve built an app, and I’m looking to make sure it’s fully secure before launching. I know the importance of running a solid pen test and I want to see how far someone can push it, really dig into every vulnerability, and exploit the system in ways that no one else could.

How do you make sure you’re really breaking through all the defenses without missing anything? What’s the best way to really tear apart a system and expose every last vulnerability? I don’t want a passive scan. I want to make sure my app gets the most thorough testing possible. A deep scanning, breaking through firewalls, and not just skimming the surface. What tools and methods do you recommend for ensuring you’re really getting inside everything, and not missing anything crucial?

Is this something I could take on by myself, or should I look into hiring a professional? I want someone who isn’t afraid to be aggressive with my app, someone who knows how to push past every layer of defense and really get to the core of what’s vulnerable. I’m ready for a deep, full on test that leaves no stone unturned, no access point unchecked. If there are weaknesses hiding anywhere, I want them exposed, exploited, and taken advantage of.

So, what’s the best way to really break in and make sure my app stands up to the most intense scrutiny? Any tools or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Like, if you can trap the heat in could it at least keep the water comfortably hot for an extended period of time, like say 8-16 hours?

A friend received a spam email from quickbooks@notification.intuit.com

Intuit is a real company, and intuit.com is their real domain. Looking online, a number of people received this scam email a few months ago, and then again over the last week.

If you came across this post from Google, this is why it reeks of a scam email:

  • 12 of other email addresses are listed in the to and cc fields
  • it says that a subscription is set to renew, "$399.99 will soon be taken out of your account" and that it will happen within the "next 24 hours". Classic sense of urgency
  • It includes an 888 phone number that does not come up as any legitimate number, and it includes a PDF which my friend did not download in case it is malicious

Does this mean that Intuit lost control of that subdomain, or is there another way that someone might be spoofing it? I can have my friend check any other metadata if it would be helpful.


If you came here from Google, welcome to the Fediverse :)

I think it's the same color as the color designation for:

Avg.: 72°F | 58°F

But I have no idea what the graph is showing if the blue line is showing the Temperature at that time of the day. All the values change with the vertical slider for to change the time of day.

I guess the process is probably similar in other countries but included my country anyway since I don't know enough about this stuff. Feel free to respond even if you're in another country!

I received injuries from using a product that is available internationally, but not sure how many or where they have actually sold. Later this week an investigator is going to come to my home to take pictures of the product. I feel like they must be doing something else too? Maybe an interview? It seems weird to come all the way out here for some photographs. If it matters, the manufacturer itself is located in a different country.

Thanks for any information provided!
