I don't think someone else's death is ever a good thing to hope for

I strongly disagree. There are many times where someone else’s death is something to hope for. I think if you try you can think of a few relatively easily.

Yeah, if DayQuil doesn’t work for you and NyQuil does, then it’s the antihistamine.

Use Sudafed or it’s generic during the day, that shit’s amazing.

USB-C ports are especially prone to dust/lint buildup that can prevent the plugs from seating properly in the ports. Worth trying to scrape them out if they stop working right. I like to use a staple that I’ve unbent, but it has been pointed out this probably isn’t the safest tool. Just avoid the contacts and only scrape the bottom and sides of the port. It’s amazing how much crap comes out if you’ve been using the device for a while.

Wasn't that the entire point of the "U" in "USB"?

Nah, the point of the “U” in “USB” is so that devices communicate in a standardized way through a standardized bus. The port itself doesn’t need to be universal—after all, USB-C is I believe the first time that the host port and the device port are the same, previously there was always an A for host and B for device, even with mini-USB and micro-USB.

Toothpicks aren’t usually thin enough in my experience, and I’m more worried about the tongue getting bent by the toothpick than I am about the bottom of the port getting scratched by a staple. But I agree a staple isn’t ideal, it’s just the common item I’ve found that works best. I’m sure there are better tools.

Is it the jack itself that’s wiggling, or the plug won’t stay in the socket and wiggles too much?

If it’s the latter, take a staple and bend it straight, and VERY GENTLY drag it round inside the port, avoiding contacts, scraping out the lint and dust that has almost certainly become impacted at the base of it over time. I do this whenever cables don’t want to stay in anymore and it’s amazing how much of a difference it makes.

I have had one example of the port itself becoming loose, but mostly I’ve run into the lint/dust problem.

Yeah Lightning was really nice. I was surprised how much I liked it after switching from Android to iOS. If only it weren’t proprietary and had too few pins to be very useful outside of charging.

I still hated that my phone didn’t use USB-C though, since everything else I own does. Glad the new iPhones do.

That’s probably the doxylamine succinate, which is an antihistamine and also relieves congestion.

As I understand it, studies have shown phenylephrine simply doesn’t do anything at the oral doses we get. It’s in there because pseudoephedrine got moved behind the counter because meth production can use it, but it’s essentially useless.

If what you’re really after is a decongestant, go to the counter and ask for Sudafed (or generic pseudoephedrine). They’ll probably ask for your ID because meth, but that shit works. I get the 12-hour kind, personally.

(Just know that it might keep you awake.)

Maybe I’ve seen far too many cases of people uninvolved in atrocities being blamed for them. Even in just the last few years. Even in this very conflict.

But whatever, you do you and I’ll do me.

fuck off lmao

How was I supposed to know that? lol

Yeah if true then fuck those guys.

If true, the yeah, fuck those guys.

Because they understand the spoiler effect.
