It won't let me upload a picture but I will try adding it to the comments.

But I have an HP Envy x360 and did a cheap/sloppy "repair" of the left hinge (cold welded it). When I was putting the screen back on, I ended up shattering a place which fell out, about 2 inches x 0.5 inches (5 cm x 1.27 cm) near the right hinge, and then a smaller area on the left hinge which has stayed in place. The screen itself is fine - it's below the screen where the hp logo is that is broken.

Is there anything (cheap) I can put on it to keep from breaking further, like electrical tape or something else?

I can't afford to buy a new screen (or hinges) which is why I cold welded it in the first place.

Thanks for your help

So we posted in our neighborhood group. "To ANY one that thinks this is funny.. You have an issue, SHOW your face. Come talk to me. Threaterning a COMBAT VETERAN & a family with young children? Absolutely DISGUSTING. And I thought being called a Nazi by our neighbor was bad. HA! Funny how it's anonymous."

I lost my hearing aid today.

I looked for it for 10 minutes.

I enlisted the help of strangers.

...

It was on my ear.

The End.

It was working fine a few weeks ago, then randomly stopped detecting mic/camera. Did Google get tired of me not using Chrome? Lol

I have an old HP envy 360 (internal camera and mic) Fedora 41 with KDE Plasma Firefox browser

Zoom (app), Updox (browser), and a few others still work fine. I set it to always allow camera & mic but no dice.

Old forum posts sadly did not fix it either :(

I certainly did.

I was taking a wooden box apart and realized I grabbed the wrong bit. Rather than go get the correct one I used my extremely hard head and decided to make the wrong bit work. The screws were not fooled.

On the bright side, I successfully turned a <5 minute activity into a 2+ hour project. Go me!

You helped me a lot with my move! I appreciate it.

The forecast for my area next week has temps as low as -20F (-28C), with a lower windchill (I think around -30F/-34C). We will have snow on the ground but I don't believe it is expected to snow on the coldest days. Side note - we are around 4500ft/1372m above sea level.

So far the winter has been pretty mild and hasn't gone below 0F/-17C at all. Snow has also been sparse with I think less than 2 inches (5cm) each time, quickly melting. So I haven't gotten a chance to really get used to such cold temps. We can get some pretty fast winds. I think it mostly sticks between 20-25 mph (32-40 kph). Also a very arid climate. I have a hard time getting my home above 30% humidity. Not sure on the outdoor numbers.

Is there anything different I should be doing for myself and for my dogs? I feel like these temps are dangerous for exposed skin? Not sure.

One of my dogs has medium length hair and the other one is short hair.

For me I have stuff like longjohns, thicker sweatpants, sweatshirts, windbreaker, I also have a wool coat. Then like thicker socks and some fur lined boots. - I'm thinking I need to add a scarf or something for my face and then also make myself wear gloves? I have some sheepskin gloves so I was thinking of putting on like regular winter gloves and then the sheepskin over it?

For the dogs they have a wind resistant fur lined coat and then some winter shoes. So I'm guessing they need something for their head - I have a soft head covering for them but it is slightly too big and keeps falling over their eyes when we practice wearing it. Do I need to get them something that covers their legs and belly better as well?

I was also wondering if I should even be taking them out at all when it's that cold. I mean I know it is that cold often elsewhere but they are used to the dry heat of the south of the US and I don't want them to end up not wanting to go outside ever again haha.

I still feel very unprepared for winter weather so I hope my fellow Lemmings can help!

In the USA. Would be great if the calculator also had a state version but it's ok if not.

I was awarded SSDI this year and am currently withdrawing money from my IRA to stay afloat.

I found the IRS forms - mainly in publication 915 - to calculate my tax burden, but because I also got a lump some from SSDI backpay this year it feels too complicated.

Basically I am trying to see if it makes sense from a tax perspective to withdraw more from my IRA before the end of the year or to wait til next year, and if so, how much more.

I am single and only ever do the standard deduction. I don't think I qualify for the earned income credit or any other credits that I'm aware of. I'm not in a state with the new IRS direct file program unfortunately.

So does anyone know of a basic calculator I can run different amounts through?

Thanks

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!

I can and do eat cheese. I just am tired of having it be a major part of everything I eat.

Tonight I made some angel hair pasta, which was delicious. Cheese was involved of course!

I get wrong numbers all the time in other languages. I only speak English fluently. The languages I studied previously were mainly in writing so speaking other languages is quite intimidating for me.

Top languages in my area: Spanish (mainly Mexico and Puerto Rico), Vietnamese, Korean, and Russian. I've also encountered Igbo, Yoruba, Arabic, and Haitian Creole.

Learning how to say something like "I only speak English" would be helpful as well.

I did find this website but I have no way of knowing how accurate it is:

Comments on a Facebook post. The original post is not shown. The first comment, which 6 people liked, reads, "Everyone has prejudice. It's normal. Every single person on the planet. It is a conditioned response to your environment." The OP replies, "that doesn't make it ok." The commenter responds, "you are mistaking prejudice with racism. They are not the same.Prejudice is earned. It's learned. Life experience plays a big role. Racism is just treating or hating someone for racial reasons. Big differences. Yes racism is wrong." Four people liked that comment. The OP then says, "prejudice is an umbrella term and I'mnot only talking aboutracism, which is why I used it."

A continuation of the same comment chain described in the previous image. Part of the OP's last comment is visible at the top. The final comment from the commenter says, "sorry you are wrong. Sad."

I'm sorry I didn't use different colors when I marked the names out. These comments are between the same two people. It was in a neighborhood group discussing a recent neighborhood-wide survey.

Nobody ever liked the OP's comments by the way, so I guess the whole area agrees with these enlightening definitions of racism and prejudice.

If they even would have charged him. They took my abuser to dinner instead.

Stardew Valley and Terraria may both fit your list, although Terraria stresses me out a bit.

Instead, Bonevac writes, because pregnancy is the result of "voluntary and consensual sexual intercourse,"

So apparently you can't get pregnant when you're raped. That's great to know /s

I wonder if the case worker survived the lack of oxygen from laughing so hard at that

You'd be surprised what people will tell you. Although usually it's the customer and not the employee

Can Maury reveal it as well?? I would actually watch it then!

I tell every doctor "a few weeks ago" and then when they suggest a date I say yes. So every doctor has a different day lol. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me

Description: Facebook comment which says "I charge $100 parking in property otherwise street parking. A lot of people would rather walk lol Some come with one parking included (driveway) but for them to park inside $200-$250/mo. More is not a bad price. Be sure to put in contract about leaking vehicles there will be a cleaning fee and be sure to put something about no sub leasing that garage and you should be good."

Description: A second Facebook comment which says, "Depends on geo: college towns tend to have a premium on parking. Years back hadn't heard of pet rent. Try it and report back?"

Edited descriptions for spelling
