My partner is also allergic to mosquito bites and he got a HeatIt and it was life-changing. He previously had to stay home and permanently ice his bites to not get blood poisoning and was in huge pain, but now since it's always with him on his keychain, he can treat the stings right away before they get too bad and can go out and do pretty much everything now. He still needs to treat the stings regularly, but it's so much more portable and accessible than the ice packs he used before.
Compared to the larger devices like BiteAway, it performs a bit worse and it's a bit pricey and the durability is kinda shit, but the fact that it's always on him and ready to use (as long as you bring your keys and phone), he can treat the bites right away on the go, which makes a huge difference in effectiveness.

Maybe it's for the same reason Moscow Mules are served in copper mugs. The container conducts heat well and therefore feels very cold to the touch when you put your lips on it, which enhances the feeling of it being refreshing.

It's metallic blue when you look directly at it and turns more purple as you look more from the side

You may want to check out isthereanydeal.com to build your wishlist. It allows you to set the price thresholds at which you want to be notified and also supports other fully-legitimate (as in devs actively collaborate with them and get paid) stores than just Steam. Many of which sell Steam keys which are codes you can redeem in Steam to activate the game there.
You have all the benefits of Steam games such as no to little extra fiddling to play games on Linux, library and cloud save sync, Steam community and workshop content, playtime tracking etc.
The only real downside is that you're not covered by Steam's super lenient refund policy, which is actually quite good to have, since not all games run perfectly on Deck yet. If you buy from other stores, it's usually hard to refund games that you've already redeemed. But if you're fairly confident that it will run and you won't refund it, you can sometimes find really good sales "off-season" this way.
Hope that helps :)

I can't access the link 😭 Does anyone have an alternative source for me? The preview looks fun

Not sure about white and male without people talking about it, but tech nerds for sure. Saying this as a non-white non-male tech nerd myself.

It does get a bit monotonous in here…

The quality of the wings vs the body vs the legs of the bumble bee reminds me of this

I switched from Yt Music to Tidal because of audio quality and it's audible. But the difference between Spotify highest quality and Tidal is truly minimal. I did the tests and I couldn't hear it. I kinda prefer the UI and generally like supporting market alternatives if they're good and if they pay artists better, then that's even better. I don't listen to podcasts either, so those are my personal reasons for choosing Tidal over Spotify.

I have never really used Spotify, but my partner insists that the recommendations on Tidal are actually better. I also think the recommendations are great, but work best for genres that Tidal is strong at. Of the genres I listen to, I've had really good experiences with the genres hip hop, rap, lofi, misc. electronic music, western pop, and less good experiences with classical music, soundtracks and more niche genres like J-Pop, African Pop and random trash (on Spotify, our we used to like to prank our friends by adding stuff like gangster's paradise kids bop version or "female orgasm sounds" to their playlists. I haven't really found prank-worthy stuff on Tidal yet).

So it's really a personal decision and tbh, I think Spotify is the better choice for most people.

Out of interest, why? Shouldn't it be the other way around, that bi is a subset of pan?

I use a Planck keyboard which weighs just under 300g with Kailh box switches and XDA keycaps. It's labeled as a 40% keyboard so I was reluctant at first, coming from 65% myself. But since the keys are smaller, especially the space bar, it still has a relatively high number of total keys given the small form factor (there's even space for arrow keys!) and having your layer switch keys right next to the space bar for your thumbs is very comfy IMO. I ended up liking it so much that I use it daily and now I'm wondering what to do with my main keeb. If you're up to trying something new, you can have a look at some layouts. The keyboard looks inconveniently small but once you see the layer layouts, you'll see it makes a lot of sense actually!
