I've been pouring my time and effort into an indie comic project, the Wiley Mouse Project, but the realities of making a living from this are challenging. Advertising hasn’t yielded the backers I’d hoped for, and I’m starting to question if sustainable careers in indie comics are possible nowadays. If anyone here has cracked the code on making a living in comics, I’d love to hear about your journey. Here’s my current project, if you’re curious: Wiley Mouse IndieGoGo link in my profile

I'm trying to wrap my brain around this one. Obviously we can't stop time but if it could be where would we land once we resume?

I am a 33yo female, and a new mom to a 3 month old. I have been drawn to the natural lifestyle for years now, but recently realized how many toxins we eat, drink, put on our skin, and breath in. I do not have the funds to start eating everything perfectly and throw everything with chemicals in my home away, but how do I begin this journey of a healthier lifestyle without the overwhelm? Where can I purchase safer items/food when it comes time to replace them? And how do I go about creating a better low tox life for my family? I love the idea of yoga, I do meditate, and have tried other natural options for birth control and medication. Any reddit users been in my shoes at one point, and find a way to a healthy medium?

A while ago I bought a plethysmometer to monitor my blood pressure. The device manufacturer provides an app that will record and track your data, find trend lines, etc. However, the app requires that you register an account with the device manufacturer and store your data with them.

Just a few days ago, I bought a bathroom scale (different manufacturer). I just bought it to weigh myself (and it was on sale), but the scale can measure, in addition to weight, BMI, body fat rate, and eight other values. However, in order to get any measurements other than weight, you must use their app, and once again, it requires registering an account with the manufacturer and storing your data with them.

I don’t want to share my PHI with the manufacturers. It’s none of their business; they’re not healthcare providers and not bound by HIPAA; and even if they were so bound they’re not the kind of companies I would trust to keep user data safe.

My question about this practice is… why?

Clearly there’s no technical reason the app couldn’t work with locally stored data. But I don’t understand why these companies want users’ PHI so badly that they would so drastically limit the functionality of their products for users who won’t share. I’m also curious how they can get away with advertising these features and not disclosing that they’re only available to users willing to give the manufacturers their PHI.

Make sense out of this for me?

Sorry I didn't know what to ask in the title exactly. Let me expand on my question. In my younger years while me and friend were drinking cheap vodka from a glass bottle(1/5 gal). After a few shots maybe 4-5, had been drank from said bottle, I took my lighter and touch the flame to the top of the open bottle. When I done this the flame caught on the inside of the top of the bottle and started moving down. My friend seen this and quickly put his hand over the opening, smothering the flame, and putting it out before it reach the remaining alcohol. He said if he didn't do this it would've started basically shooting out fireballs, or something to that effect. Can some one tell me what would've happened? Would it have just caught fire like it would've in a shot glass? Or did he prevent me from being down my parents home?

Skip over to 2:17 in the song. It has been digging at me forever https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=6yzz0YjUVzE&si=cvp6zTYbj5_F1Nii

I have both games purchased and downloaded on my iPhone from my account. My son recently received an Android phone. After I setting up his phone I wanted to download both Minecraft app game & PoppyPlaytime app for him to have on his phone. The playstore only seems to give me the option to repurchase both of these. Is it possible to not have to repurchase them? I’m thinking I probably have to since the purchase was through Apple App Store. I’m hoping someone here may know a way around it.

Thanks for any help

All of the answers that I search for say they "exist" simultaneously. That is not what I am asking. What I'm asking is if they are actually happening at the same time, like three TVs playing the same movie, but one is playing the start of the movie, the second one is playing the middle of the movie, and the third one is playing the ending.

Poured a cup of iced tea earlier and it smelled like eggs, but the tea tasted fine. Asked 5 people and 3 said they could smell it and 2 said they couldn't. Googled it and only bad tea came up but this tea was just opened, and by just opened I mean this is the first cup. We think it might be the ice but not sure.

In most cases, it only goes back 3 years. It would be nice to see overall performance to track progress.

I looked it up on Google, and supposedly (according to Google's generative AI and a source or two it used) the term was first used in Stephen King's novel The Stand. I'm not completely sure if that's correct, but I don't know.

Is there filters or can you boil it?

A while back my mom came home with 2 phones she said she found in a garbage can on her walk home and she wanted to see if they worked. One is a Motorola phone and it works just fine. I charged it up and opened it and there's a pin. I factory reset the phone and everything was completely wiped, though when I start to set the phone up again, at the end it says "your phone was reset to factory settings. To use this phone, enter your previous PIN". There is also an option to "use my google account instead" but obviously it's not my google account so I can't do that. I thought factory resetting erased EVERYTHING but I guess not. Is there any way around this so I can use the phone?

A lot of pop stars perform "live" by miming to a backing track and while i generally joke about it being no different to listening to the CD at home i assume that it is the studio master being played not a CD..

However do they play the studio mix or do they have each instrument on their own channel like a live band does?

If 1D is a dot(or a line?) and can be shown in a 2D plane like a square easy
And all 2D stuff plane square triangles etc figures can be easy shown and 3rd is world.
We can also show a 3D object on a 2D medium, drawing photo video and can recreate it

Can we show a 2D figure on 1D medium? and how or why?

Apologies if it's a stupid question but like, there's not much money at the start. No money to lend out, and no money to pay the interests of the ones that deposit their money. How do a bank grow and expand from that? Or do you indeed need a lot of cash laying around to be able to start a bank?

I grab say 10 folders to copy from A->B

They start copying in the window.

I grab 50 more folders to copy from x->y (or A->B) or any other combination. They start copying as well.

I can pause the second set, or let them run in parallel, but how to make it so the second set starts to copy after the first set finishes without any user input.

This doesn't seem to be too difficult but I can't find any answers.

EDIT Great answers I failed to mention this is a work computer fairly locked down. Is there a native way to do this on windows.

Just curious

Edit: thanks all keep em coming, tbh can not believe the number of creative responses lol

They have to have two sets of shirts/newspaper/hats for each team, so what happens to the stuff for the losing team? Can you find it somewhere?

I have a car with folding rear view wing mirrors (a Nissan X Trail to be exact).

Y'know, fold em in when you park the vehicle, avoids damage.

I'm just wondering if I fold them in when driving at highway speeds whether it would make any noticeable difference to the drag coefficient?

Would the vehicle be more aerodynamic with the mirrors folded?

I was listening to Jack U and Justin Beiber's "Where Are U Now" and I was intrigued by this specific vocal effect, which it combines the low voice with the normal voice: as seen in timestamps 0:44 and 0:58 to 1:03 respectively of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ek2pU4m6Js

I was wondering what the name of this vocal effect is called?

I am catholic and is it allowed to believe in Christian religion catholic is just a branch of Christianity right?

Personally, I don't watch football, and I have few acquaintances who do, but people in Latin America live it with a passion that gives me goosebumps. Is it possible that in other countries the passion is felt more?

When I mix up a liter of ORS (electrolytes) when my baby is sick, the package says to discard it after 24 hours, even if refrigerated.

Why? It is just salts mixed with water? Why does it expire so quickly?

Transportation question.
