How to get cigarette smell out of my apartment?

So my roommate is a habitual cigarette smoker. He doesn’t smoke indoors (thankfully) but he does smoke about every other night outdoors. I don’t think he realizes that when he’s done smoking the smell sort of… lingers on him and his clothes. Last night after he was done he was in the kitchen for a bit cooking. I came in...

Sharpiemarker ,

If by smoking jacket you mean a space suit that he can smoke inside, then I agree with you.

Sharpiemarker ,

I get that, but smoke being a vapor, is not subject to the whims of fabric. For the same reason we don’t make balloons out of smoking jackets.

    Hunter Biden’s lawsuit is not news, nor is it politics. He’s a private citizen, not an elected official.

    So let’s not let right-wing nutjobs dictate the conversation.

    And yet, there are people like this who enjoy sniffing Billionaire farts.

    I had a similar coffee table. The shin-breaker-5000.

    In short, he became angry because he was used to theater acting and tried to hold a tv production to theater’s standards.

    It seems like a perfectly human mistake and an experience from which he learned.

    Right there with you, friend. Hope things get better for you. Thankfully you’ll find no shortage of Star Trek episodes to give you hope for the future.

    If it’s laughs you’re after, I’d just binge some Lower Decks and bust a gut.

    [News] Prosecutors: 'No valid basis' for Trump election interference judge to recuse herself - UPI.com ( www.upi.com )

    Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Prosecutors countered a request by former President Donald Trump to get the judge presiding over his upcoming federal election interference trial to recuse herself, saying there were no grounds for her to step aside....

    Star Trek TNG Singing Bar Scene

    For many years now I’ve had in my memory this scene from star trek tng where, for whatever reason, a group of British officers and Irish officers led by O’Brien start getting nationalistic and sing their respective national songs at each other. I remember the British were singing “Rule Britannia” but I don’t recall the...

    I feel like it’s a DS9 episode but I can’t recall.

    Is this your card?

    Bodycam video shows Ohio police fatally shooting pregnant black woman ( www.bbc.com )

    Less than one minute. The police weren’t even called there for her, they were in the parking lot for an “unrelated call.” And why was an officer standing in front of her car leaning on the hood holding a gun in her face in the first place? There are so many things wrong with this.

    Sharpiemarker ,

    The question for me is, is a couple hundred Dollars of alcohol or groceries worth someone’s life? Why not let her go and pursue charges against her rather than executing her in the parking lot?

    Anti-Abortion Centers Spent Over $600M in One Year. That's the Tip of the Iceberg. ( rewirenewsgroup.com )

    “Crisis pregnancy centers,” or anti-abortion centers, are known for deceiving and manipulating people seeking information about abortion. They often pose as legitimate abortion clinics, intentionally obscuring their real purpose. They promote dangerous medical misinformation such as abortion pill “reversal.” They also...

    Ooo this is an easy one, best explained by The Alt-Right Playbook in their video Always a bigger fish

    Yep Bernie is right, 100%.

    Except that one time he ran against the Democrat and got a wannabe dictator elected President. Aside from that.

    Sharpiemarker ,

    Absolutely. Sound waves are vibrations. Vibrations can be transmitted to other materials. Like electrical conductors, some materials conduct sound better than others. The amount of energy in sound is pretty low, so it’s not going to create a lot of heat or light, unless we’re talking about sound levels that would be dangerous to not only hearing but would cause death.

    Brilliant! I can’t wait to see him cocaine sweating.

    Bit of a personal question don’t you think?

    Sharpiemarker ,

    As comfortable as I’d be with a woman taking contraceptives. None are completely safe and there haven’t been nearly enough studies on their effects (particularly the mental health implications).

    Just because there hasn’t been enough study on men’s birth control, doesn’t mean we put the burden of contraceptives on women alone.

    Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?

    Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this....

    downside is that employers will start looking at employees in lower paying countries as well).

    Tale as old as time

    I Would Rather See My Books Get Pirated Than This (Or: Why Goodreads and Amazon Are Becoming Dumpster Fires) | Jane Friedman ( janefriedman.com )

    tl;dr Books, most likely generated by an LLM, were being sold on Amazon under Jane Friedman’s name. The same books were added to her Goodreads profile. Amazon initially refused to remove the books. If it’s happening to her, it’s definitely happening to other authors.

    I’m no scientist but I’m going to say no.

    If oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc can pass through the fabric, so can carbon monoxide.

    The masks are used for screening particulates out that contain pathogens like viruses/bacteria. Those are much larger than gasses.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong about any of that.

    Sharpiemarker ,

    I agree with you about the surgical masks but I’m not sure that the risks of carbon monoxide can be overstated.

    There have been a number of families recently in the US that have died of CO poisoning due to the lack of CO alarms. If you have natural gas appliances, definitely keep CO alarms around the house.

    A few years ago we were looking at putting in a whole house fan, and one of the risks is, if you don’t have proper ventilation set up, you can pull CO into the house instead of it ventilating like it’s supposed to.

    There are definitely risks but you can mitigate them with CO detectors/alarms.

    Lol thank fuck someone said it.

    As someone who has never voted for a Republican and never will, I can honestly say the Democratic party doesn’t trick anyone into anything. That’s some next-level political strategy and we don’t even do basic strategy, like focusing on our brand/image/messaging/consistency/opposition research/etc.

    Unfortunately the Democratic party has become the Mayo party; it’s inoffensive and you can put it on anything. We’re the margarine party. People vote for Democrats because the alternative is Fascism.

    Sharpiemarker ,

    Lol that’s accurate

    Be conservative is not the Expanding Foam Insulation motto.

    No it’s all planned. Take it to the supreme court and, well, you know how it’ll go from there.

    Hi, can someone explain to my small brain what reaction this is or what happened? ( imgur.com )

    When I was cleaning a heatsink from an older laptop, the aluminum, and I think also a bit of copper, started to disintegrate very quickly and sometimes violently. I used a cleaning solution that was made for removing thermal paste and cleaning CPUs and PCBs. After some time, the only thing left of the heatsink was some grey...

    Copper metal "dissolves" in nitric acid (HNO3). Actually, the nitrate ion oxidizes the copper metal to copper (II) ion while itself being transformed to NO2 gas in the process; the copper (II) ion then binds to six water molecules.

    How do you ruin something that has already been ruined?

    I’m hoping we’ll get a DIYaudio in the Lemmy community. Your craftsmanship looks great!
