  • If it were me, I’d fix it the lazy man’s way - clean out the slot and the glass very well. I’d then dry it out with rubbing alcohol and paper towels.

    Then I’d squirt some Goop adhesive in there, and push it back in place (also consider clear silicone). I like Goop because it sticks to almost everything, cures quickly, holds incredibly well, yet is easy to cleanup (or remove when you need to).

    You want enough adhesive in there so just a little oozes out, to ensure it’s made good contact.

    Your family isn’t dumber than average.

    Uu tech folks tend to forget/overlook that most people are clueless as to how mobile devices work. I have IT friends who know practically nothing about the Android file system, or how apps store (but don’t sync) data, for example. And these are people designing/implementing/supporting complex systems.

    Most people can’t be bothered if there’s more than one or two steps. I can’t walk my “70 year old uncle” through configuring an app on his phone, over the phone. The stuff he says he sees make no sense at all. I’m like “no, that’s not what you should see, what did you click on”?.






  • There are a range of tachycardia/arrythmia that you can have since birth that may not show up until you’re older, or get triggered by certain meds or nutrient deficiencies (things like potassium).

    I wouldn’t ignore this for a minute longer. Maybe just walk into urgent care and ask if they’re equipped to check it out (basically EKG). I know my urgent care is.

    If they aren’t equipped, then go to ER.

    But please don’t sit on this any longer. Some arrythmias are fairly benign, but if it’s happening repeatedly, it will eventually cause tissue damage that you don’t really fully recover from. Plus you don’t know if yours is benign (and most docs would say arrythmia is never benign, even if it isn’t killing you in the moment).


  • Stitches don’t necessarily mean ER.

    Guess it really depends on your urgent care.

    For the most part, I’ll go to my urgent care unless I know damn sure ER is needed (the urgent care is in my network). It’s no farther away, (ER is a couple blocks away), and urgent care is less out of pocket. If they determine ER is required, they’ll say so (and recommend ambulance if they feel it’s necessary).

    Basically the triage nurse will assess and make a determination.

    I’ve had family go there for cardiovascular issues (and be treated and sent home). They’re fully equipped to stabilize someone if they need to go elsewhere. They have a full complement of equipment, including radiology (everything but CAT).


  • Keeping in mind the object with the larger mass will (over those millions of years) pull the smaller object closer in all dimensions/planes

    It’s still hard for me to get my head around, it would be great to see an animation showing this with perhaps 3 or 4 objects. It’s especially hard for me to visualize the gas cloud around a star coelescing into a plane, even before the more solid objects form.

    Is this because of rotational mechanics around the star?
