    Space Heater

    Try a heated blanket. You can warm yourself directly, without having to heat the whole room.

  • Disposal of liquid nicotine questions - how to not kill birds/bees/fish and humans by disposing properly?
  • EmmaGoldman EmmaGoldman Now 100%

    If you're in the US, your local pharmacy likely hosts a drug take-back box. You can put it in there, and congratulations: Safe disposal is now the responsibility of the DEA. Yes, Nicotine is considered a drug for this purpose, so this is the correct place to dispose of the liquid. Remove any personally identifying information, because nobody wants the liability.

    As far as the flavorants go, those aren't a drug. If you're concerned about safe disposal and can't/don't want to research safe disposal of them, you can drop those off at your municipality's local Household Hazardous Waste Day (or Zero Waste Day) whenever that occurs for you.

    Between these two options, you can get rid of basically anything you can't figure out how to safely dispose of for free.

  • Cellphone questions
  • EmmaGoldman EmmaGoldman Now 100%

    Don't bother getting a new budget phone. Pick up a higher end used one and then just put your sim card into it. Sites like Swappa are a great place to get a legitimate used phone in good condition.

    Locked phones can ONLY be used on the carrier they're tied to. You cannot take a locked phone to another carrier, or to another country (other than with expensive international roaming plans on the original carrier). Depending on the carrier, they may be able to become "carrier unlockable" after some time period, but that's not always the case, and that doesn't entirely free you. Almost all locked phones (everything other than iPhones and Pixels) will also have their updates "certified" by the carrier, meaning that whichever carrier the phone was originally tied to will arbitrarily slow down or prevent your phone from being updated for months, years, or forever. People who hate updates might think this is a benefit. It is not. We're talking about security updates, not about when an app developer decides to randomly change everything for no reason. There is no legitimate reason for this, it's only done so that carriers can add bloatware, adware, and spyware to the OS updates.

    Budget phones like the A14 will often have promotions from carriers that reduce the retail price of the device. These are locked devices, and they will not unlock the device unless you're subscribed for a certain long period of time. If a phone's page on amazon lists any carrier name, it's locked to that carrier for 6-18 months. The unlocked version of the phone is almost always going to be on the high end of the price range, because it's not subsidized by you being stuck on a specific carrier's plan.

    You can get access to the primary carrier networks at cheaper rates using a plan from an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator). They utilize the exact same networks, but have negotiated cheaper rates with the main carrier networks. They pass the savings onto you (and cheap out on other stuff like not having physical locations or huge advertising budgets), so you can access that network more affordably. If T-Mobile has good coverage in your area, Mint Mobile might be a good choice, with an unlimited plan for $15/month. Visible uses Verizon's network and offers a similar unlimited plan for $25/month.

    It seems like they're all really expensive, with most halfway decent ones being over $1000. It also seems like they're really finicky and hard to get working consistently. Are there any 3d printers that are actually a refined product, something you can just get and start using? I don't want to spend most of my time fiddling with the settings and having to buy a ton of upgrades in the hopes of getting it to be a functional machine that can actually be used to print out parts. If there are any out there that are basically self-maintaining or highly automated in terms of configuring themselves correctly, is it only the really expensive ones, or are there more affordable sort of "get and forget" printers that you can just set up and start using?

    Looking for a matching set (brand/aesthetic wise) of a mechanical keyboard and mouse for gaming that: - Isn't super tacky or coated in branding - Has a detachable usb c cable (sick of mini-usb and I will never be okay with a fixed cable on a keyboard) - Has build quality that's actually halfway decent - Isn't ludicrously expensive - Is compatible with something like Artemis RGB or Aurora RGB for aRGB game integration (my little crow brain likes when the blinky gamer lights change colors when I reload and stuff in games) I don't know if I'm just bad at researching this sort of thing but it really seems like all the options out there only meet one or two of these requirements at best. Is this just the state of the market when it comes to these things? Do I need to build a custom keyboard?

    They're not even doing refunds or recalls, they're just giving people 2 free months of the subscription and telling them to only charge the device and the hotswap add-on batteries with the home charger. This piece of shit has a 4 hour standby time if you're not using the case to recharge the batteries. Literally unusable. ![peppino-ha](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/3333c970-18ad-45b0-b2aa-26d2efc0874a.png "emoji peppino-ha") techbros owned.

    Seriously, I've spent like an hour searching and there appear to be absolutely no used cars in the US or Canada priced at or under $500. In fact, they're not even really close. I can only find a handful of cars under $1000, and they all seem to be parts cars that have major issues that are insurmountable for all but experienced mechanics who happen to have a spare engine laying around. Am I just searching in the wrong places or what? Where have all the cheap-ass cars gone in this car-mandatory society?
