My partner is also allergic to mosquito bites and he got a HeatIt and it was life-changing. He previously had to stay home and permanently ice his bites to not get blood poisoning and was in huge pain, but now since it's always with him on his keychain, he can treat the stings right away before they get too bad and can go out and do pretty much everything now. He still needs to treat the stings regularly, but it's so much more portable and accessible than the ice packs he used before.
Compared to the larger devices like BiteAway, it performs a bit worse and it's a bit pricey and the durability is kinda shit, but the fact that it's always on him and ready to use (as long as you bring your keys and phone), he can treat the bites right away on the go, which makes a huge difference in effectiveness.

Maybe it's for the same reason Moscow Mules are served in copper mugs. The container conducts heat well and therefore feels very cold to the touch when you put your lips on it, which enhances the feeling of it being refreshing.

If you're afraid of falling, wear protectors and just deliberately fall a couple of times to test the level of protection and practice falling to build confidence.
I'm bad at sports and use skating to exercise, so I suck and regularly fall ~3 times per hour, but it's not a big deal at all and rarely hurts. And over time you really learn how to fall in a more controlled fashion, which is a useful skill to have by itself - it's prevented me from getting injured when I tripped and fell on a hike.

This reminds me of the time someone posted some meme referencing Ea-Nasir in here, a scummy copper ingot merchant from mesopotamia. Makes me wonder if anybody knew these references because they're actually so famous and I'm just uncultured, or if they only know them because some history nerd started making memes and they somehow caught on and now everyone learned them through some explanations in the comments like I just did.

Not every day, every living minute, but quite regularly and throughout the year, the first 4 beats of "Deck the Halls" on infinite loop in a 6/4 beat so after the 4 beats there's 2 beats silence before it begins all over again. Weirdest thing is after all these years I don't even know the text, just the melody.

 

Does anyone know if the touchpads of the SD (OLED if it matters) have proper multi-touch? As in, you can map two buttons there and both can be pressed completely independently (i.e. hold one while tapping the other)?
It's niche but I lay my Deck down on my lap and drum on the pads with 2 fingers per pad to play a Rhythm game and haven't found the right settings yet. I've found so far that with Steam Input configs, the only way to somewhat get two button presses at once is with the 8 way overlap, but I'm pretty sure that even then, it only interpolates the two touches and sends the input of wherever the interpolated input ends up. So if it happens to land in the overlap area, you get two different button presses as expected, but if you're off by a little, you get two presses of the same button instead. This also means that if you make the overlap area too large, it's also too easy to tap on that with one finger and unintentionally fat-finger.

So I wanted to know if I'm missing the correct settings in Steam Input? Or is there some plugin for this? Or does the hardware not support multi-touch at all and I'm out of luck?

"Save the Lemmyverse" - a game where you are a lemming and each level is one Lemmy community, with insider memes and problems unique to that community which you need to fix. It has dialogue-based sequences where you need to investigate what's wrong with the community, and then a random minigame to finish each level.

There are shops where you can spend upvotes to buy stuff.

There are collectible memes scattered around the game and you can post them to c/196 to gain upvote currency.
If you accidentally visit without posting anything new, you lose currency.

I could go on and on with this :D
