I’ve barely started S6E9 (literally; just past the opening credits) and I already want to turn off the episode and delete it permanently from my collection.

Hm? Hm? Hm?

I am watching this episode and I noticed what looks like something on the camera lens; I say that because the artifacts move with the camera in the bottom left. I was hoping someone here could confirm it’s officially a part of the series or if it’s just my video from where ever I sourced it.

Edit: it also appears again at 27:53.

I have disabled my VPN, and the image I'm upoading is a photo taken with my iPhone of a Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card. I would post the iCloud link but it has my name in it.

I appreciate that you're trying to prevent spam, but if it's at the cost of normal users not being able to do normal things, then you've lost the battle (and will lose users) and the spammers/scammers have won. Thank you.

Full disclosure: I had to quit my meds earlier this week because of side effects (tachycardia).

So I am raw dogging my emotions right now, and to put it simply: I am just so damned angry. I genuinely want to break everything around me; except… I can’t. I can’t do a goddamned thing because … responsibilities.

I feel so overwhelmed by everything, and I have absolutely no one to turn to; no one who will listen. I have no friends, and aside of my children, I have no family. My dog doesn’t even want to be around me when I’m sad or upset.

How the fuck do people do this?

I spent last night pulling fiberglass insulation from under my house, and this afternoon bagging it; I’d have bagged it last night but I damn near passed out from heat and being out of breath. In all, I bagged 10x 40 gallon bags.

Tomorrow I go and clean up mold. And some time after Monday (when the plumber fixes my leaky water heater), I will add vapor barrier and new insulation. 😅

That shit is/was no joke. I had a head-to-toe tyvek suit, nitrile gloves, safety glasses, and an n95 mask. I’m in love with the tyvek suit for future dirty jobs, but in all it was super hot and difficult to breathe. I couldn’t have done the job without them though.

Anyway, my point is that for those of you who do this day in and day out, you all rock! I have always appreciated those who do the dirty jobs, but now I revere you too.

Thank you for all that you do!

Yeah, the title is clickbaity. I did that on purpose.

Anyway, so I had a one year introductory offer with Spectrum for my Internet, and it expired this month. I like to save money, so I was going to research other service providers in my area, and found one that is offering 1gb fiber with some nifty discounts - in the end, I’ll be getting more than twice the speed for much less than Spectrum.

Fast forward to today, the installation date, and the service guy peeks his head through my back door (so not to track dirt into the house) and says, “you’ve got to see this.” I knew something was wrong. Before he showed me the problem, he said he was a volunteer firefighter and a vet, and not even he would work under my house.

At that point I knew exactly what the problem could be: mold. Apparently somewhere up the line from my water heater is a significant leak. This was obvious because the amount of water pouring off the end of the pipe. Also notable was the water drops across the insulation and joists. Looking a little deeper, and there is a shit ton of mold.

So I turned my water off, and now I’m waiting for a mold remediation company to come out and a) dry out my crawl space and 2) get rid of the mold, so that I can get a plumber in to find and fix the leak, and I can then get my new internet installed.

The really weird part is that my water bill has been unaffected by the leak.

So how’s y’all’s week going so far? 🥺

Where I’m at, the temps flip-flop day to day, even hour to hour. In the morning it’s 35° outside, and by evening it’s 79°. I gave up keeping up with the temps and shut my unit off for the time being.

My question is why can’t HVAC units be programmed to say that if the outside temp reaches n° and the inside temp reaches m° cold, turn on the heat; conversely, if the outside temp rises to n° and the inside temp reaches m°, then turn on the AC?

My thermostat already knows the outside and inside temp, but I still have to manually switch it back and forth. I want a system that I can just set it and forget it all year round.

In S4E9, at 9’55”, Sisko is using it on various parts of his face. It almost looks like a shaver of some sort.
