TvHQ needs a new printer. Must also be able to scan and do printing via USB in addition to wireless. Where should I be looking/what should I be looking for?

Human sacrifices? No I donāt think so. The Blood God demands his tribute.
What kind of stuff do I need to think about for web hosting? Iām really more of just a programmer, but for this new gig I also need to think about some of those IT things. I think Iām going to just prototype things initially on a single virtual machine, but eventually the stack would have a couple layers to it.
Front-end web interface.
Back-end api server.
Database server and whatever other resources.
Possibly spinning up a virtual machine just to do heavy processing when necessary.
Production and development of each, and in an ideal world each of these are unique per customer and weāre automatically setting them up/tearing them down.
Should I be looking at Amazon? OVH? Rack space in a data-center? A lot of this wonāt really matter for a long while, but I at least want to start thinking about it. At some point weād actually have an IT person or maybe one of the developers will take up that role more, but right now itās pretty much just the elephant in the room. As Rym joked in an episode recently, people say āthe cloudā and really all theyāre saying is āsomeone elseās machineā but they seem to think theyāre saying something way more profound than that. I can write code all day, but Iāve always just been handed the server situation (which was usually pretty nasty honestly) in the past.
Use Amazon or Google. Actually keeping track/maintenance of physical machines is more annoying and less reliable and itās worth paying to just not think about hardware.

I have this pot that confounds me. Its a fairly deep steel sauce pot with a copper bottom like you get in a cheap set from a department store. It does not boil water unless you put a tight lid on it. I could put it over the biggest burner on full blast and it will just reach a simmer. I think it is haunted or something. Anyone have a physics explanation for this?
I would like to see a video of this pot that never boils. Any chance of that happening?

The pot may be allowing the water to evaporate enough to cool itself so that it never reaches a high enough temperature to achieve a full boil unless the pot is covered. Just a guess.
Iām new to makeup. Femme people of the Forum, which brands should I avoid and which should I prefer? Also, do we have a beauty thread? I thought we did but I couldnāt find it.
How do people clean their ears?
My doctor is constantly telling me that Q-Tips are terrible evil things that I shouldnāt use, and that opinion seems to be held by doctors in general. But I hate having a lot of wax build-up in my ears. I think itās gross and especially when Iām out in public, I can get self-conscious about ear wax.
What do other people do to get rid of wax build-up?
Apparently youāre supposed to use ear cleaner thatās basically hydrogen peroxide if I remember right. It goes in your ear and you let it foam up and dissolve the wax then let it drain out and the dissolved wax goes with.

Canāt say this works for everyone since people have different levels of wax, so on and so forthā¦ But what I do is after I shower I just take a piece of toilet paper and dig it out with my index finger. It doesnāt actually get out any of the wax in the ear, which is fine because youāre not supposed to remove it, but it removes most of the visible wax.
Another option, though Iāve never done it, is use earplugs to kind of scrape it out. Similar to a Q-Tip but safer since they canāt go that far in.

Warm water is all I use typically. Ear wax loosens up at a relatively low temperature.

I tried switching over from Q-Tips to just using a tissue or a piece of toilet paper and my finger, but it seems like that second method isnāt nearly as effective.
I might have to try the hydrogen peroxide method. Iāve never heard of that before.
In general, I hate the feeling of water in my ears, so Iām reluctant to put liquid in my ears.
Iām the same, I hate water in my ears because they donāt drain very well so it tends to get stuck for hours. Also not sure if you should use straight peroxide so check up on that, but there are products specifically for this.

If foam earplugs donāt stick way into your ear youāre using them wrong. That said they really do get all kinds of nasty gunk out.
I donāt do anything at all. Ears just always stay clean on their own.
