Can you explain why?

Glad to hear! :)

If you're in the US, how are you preparing for the election and dealing with the stress? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Honestly, other than voting and trying to get those around me to actually give a shit, I'm not. Like in the past two elections, I'm having trouble grasping the fact that half of the (voting) country wants to elect a fascist. My mother told me over the phone that one of her neighbors is voting for Trump because "his wife is absolutely gorgeous". Like, how do you even respond to that, especially in any calm way?

Oh, and someone here reminded me: cannabis. Lots and lots of it.

Too real.

RLS sucks, gabapentin seems to help in larger doses but I still get the urge to ~~punch my thighs off and~~ do cardio at 3am.

Washington state has property tax. We do not, however, have income tax.

how can i self host my music? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 15 points 2 months ago (3 children)

There are many different ways, but personally (and hopefully I don't get crucified for saying this) I use Plex and Plexamp. Plexamp has got to be the best music app I've ever used. I even tied it into Last.fm to get recommendations for new music based on my listening.

You'd need to set up Plex media server to go this route: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200264746-quick-start-step-by-step-guides/

Personally I host via Docker.

It might be a little overkill if you don't have other media, though, and it's not fully open source.

I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Paper towels are able to absorb water because of cellulose's natural gaps and spaces:

Most bacteria are about 1 micron, and these gaps range from around 1-10 microns.

Especially if damp, it can be argued that they don't stop the transfer of bacteria. It's possible that your bacteria transfers through it and vice versa. This is all before the fact that paper towels can already harbor bacteria on their own.

That being said, paper towels do block some. You just shouldn't think of them as sterile or a magic blocker for bacteria.

Kamala Harris told me not to vote for her, so I’m not going to (and why that isn’t just a protest vote). in c/politics@lemmy.world

It's the definition of a protest vote.

I have bad news, most (?) paper towels, toilet paper, and even the toilet seat covers are microscopically transparent, meaning there are plenty of gaps for microbes to get through.
