Step 1: clean out the lint from the charging port

Step 2: make sure you actually got all the lint out and there isn’t any hiding to the side.

The sim ejector pin that used to come with phones can sometimes just barely fit between the center blade and connector housing. Otherwise a paperclip with a slight hook bent into the end can work well. Flosspicks work well to dig out the lint.

Also consider getting a wireless charger for nightly charging if your phone supports it.

The whole point of captchas is to train bots. Did you think they were all road object and optical character recognition based because those are the categories humans really excel at?

Won’t someone think of the tech companies in these unprecedented times.

The focus should be on the widespread devastation to peoples lives. Who cares if the semiconductor industry has to deal with worse yields and higher prices? That’s not what matters right now.

That area has never had that level of flooding since it was settled. Sure, everyone knows floods are dangerous, but not even the meteorologists were expecting the extent of flooding they actually got.

Have some humility and realize that you have access to knowledge now that would have sounded crazy before the events.

It’s not a rescue mission. It was an already scheduled mission which is why it’s 6 months long. Two of the originally scheduled crew got their seats bumped so the boeing capsule test asteonauts would have seats for a normal return. Wilmore and Wiliams could have returned in the other spacex capsule that was already up there in case of emergency. They were never stranded.

The bad flooding is because of how steep those areas are. Down in Florida, water takes a while to make its way into the creeks, streams, and rivers. The areas with the most extreme flooding is because entire mountainsides worth of rainfall drains in the span of a couple days.

Eastern TN and western NC also had a ton of rainfall from thunderstorms just before Helene so the ground was already saturated. For reference check out this rain gauge in Asheville.

The rain from Helene didn’t really get to Western NC until the early hours of Friday the 27th. That gauge was already at 10 inches by that time. So really the storm before Helene brought more rain than Helene did. Either the thunderstorm or Helene alone would have been moderate, but manageable flash floods, but the two back to back was insane.

Blowing up beached whales disperses the problem, but does not solve it.

A smart tv without an internet connection is usually close enough to a dumb TV. It’s not like your TV needs regular security updates so leaving it off your home network is fine.

Likely unrelated, but after I’ve cut raw garlic cloves everything feels weird, almost sticky, no matter how much I wash my hands.

My favorite resource for info on tropical storms is tropicaltidbits.com. It’s definitely worth checking out if you aren’t already familiar.

Revenge of the Titanic.

Or get a $25 digital multimeter that can be used for a wide variety of diagnostic purposes.

Corn has very shallow roots and aggressively pulls nitrogen out of the soil. Prairie plants are much more diverse than just grasses and many have very deep root networks extending down 6+ ft. Corn fields are nothing like a prairie habitat.

He was planning to retire 6 months ago, but the market hasn’t been doing great and his brother in law had to borrow some money to deal with gambling debts.

You never point a gun at something you don’t intend to shoot. There has to be a whole chain of wrong decisions for an accidental discharge to hit someone. If he had accidentally shot the ground, this wouldn’t have made national news.

Some alien intern got confused and thought drawing crop circles was supposed to be done on the crops rather than in the fields of crops.

As the current owner of a 1930’s era property with tons of glass and rubble in the ground, please don’t. We have landfills so that individual properties don’t get filled with trash.

The aluminum version would be preferred, but what you linked will do just fine. I can’t find a small tin of the aluminum version on Amazon, so don’t bother overspending on a large container.

If you are going up a thread size, make sure you get the appropriate drill bit. You need to drill out the hole before tapping. M5 usually calls for a 4.2mm predrill.

Imo for a single job, I’d prioritize getting some tap magic over worrying about tap quality. For aluminum, tap magic makes a big difference.
