I just spent a good hot minute or 10 looking for advice I posted months ago for you, and anyone else for that matter…

I had this happen to me a long time ago. I woke up hearing the thing scratching/chewing at my eardrum, and it’s extremely painful.

Cockroaches cannot walk backwards, so when in a confined space like that, they’ll naturally try to chew their way forward.

Advice, should this ever happen to anyone else, as long as you catch it early and don’t have a hole in your eardrum, is to pour rubbing alcohol in your ear, then of course go see a doctor.

Rubbing alcohol will like immediately kill the little demon, preventing any further chewing, but of course you’ll need to see a doctor to get it out.

I feel really bad for the woman though, sounds like she didn’t catch it early enough, as apparently more damages were done which prompted surgery. If you catch it early enough, it should be about as simple as killing it and removing it with tweezers.

Luckily I have absolutely no hearing loss after my experience, largely because I thought quick to kill it with rubbing alcohol.

I hope her landlord pays up, that’s really messed up.

You forgot the basement nerd that’s hung like a gnat and hasn’t touched grass since 1984.

That’s why I live on the second floor…

are?

Don’t you mean aren’t?

Sure, because screw artists with unique talent and style, let’s just have AI crank out the same style crap every day…

I’m rapidly getting tired of this new AI art era, looks like the same shit every day anymore.

Where’s the human factor anymore? Where’s the talent, where’s the skill?

We tried the Domino’s app once, because they had a ‘half off’ deal for a medium pizza if we used the app. Oh boy that was a load of shit, by the time we got there, they doubled the original price just because we used the app, then gave us half off the doubled price.

So it was basically a scam where they got our information, and we still ended up paying full price. SCREW THAT!

Thank you, very helpful 👍

Thank you very kindly 👍

Not entirely, not when the map site just kicks me back to Lemmy when I attempt to change ‘Style’

Indeed. Might be nice if OP suggested to change what they call ‘Style’ to Electrification when viewing their source link.

Also might be nice if the map site didn’t just kick me back to Lemmy when I attempt to change it.

If you check the link they shared, it’s practically all orange, so they did not share the default view, nor a color legend to go along with it.

Maybe if I understood their post in the first place. We got too many train derailments over here, they all scare the fuck out of me.

Thank you. However, I still cannot see the colored areas without at least a few hints on where to look.

And isn’t one of the points of Lemmy and the fediverse in general to help those with vision deficiencies?

Like, describe the image, offer a color guide, suggest zooming in?

I checked their link, all our tracks in the USA were orange. No reference to a color guide in their post.

You should declare that then, when practically the whole map is in grayscale. Some of us have piss poor vision, I’m at 20/500 vision myself, and my pupils are starting to solidify. Plus my glasses are tinted.

Also, why no actual color guide?

Not being negative, just telling you what I see. Also, you didn’t provide a color code, nor did you suggest phone users to zoom in.

Then you should clarify that people should check the link if they want to see the colored map.

Lemmy preview doesn’t care about that, you literally shared the grayscale version and called it colored.

I checked your provided link, practically all the lines in the USA were orange, not black.
