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

~~I didn't get a screenshot of the "statement" from town officials...which is somehow worse than the screenshot above.~~ Edit: found it, posted in comments

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.

edit: I am a fool! Just needed to disable chameleon. thanks!

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!

Hi my fellow Lemmings and friends!

I need to get a second number, and I would prefer not to use Google Voice. I have an Android phone and it needs to be a USA (+1) number.

What are the reputable, privacy friendly apps for this? It would be amazing if it was free but I will not hold my breath on that.

😸

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 fell a few months ago and landed on my head and spine (it was the corner of an object so I landed perfectly down the center from head to tailbone).

After a few weeks of head issues it all pretty much cleared up, until last week when I started having severe back pain to the point where I can't walk much. I feel like I'm going to pass out from the pain and my whole body feels like it's burning from the inside out.

There is nothing on imaging or labwork. Strong meds like oxy did not help much if at all. I am also overdo for arthritis medication so was fighting a ton of inflammation and pain already.

What can I do until a specialist sees me? I have to wait for insurance approval and then an appointment, which could take months since they are so busy.

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!
