Like Trump says that the cartels have invaded Canada wouldn't they have to pass through the US, avoid checkpoint, border control on both sides and many other things? So Canada can only blame the US? in c/nostupidquestions

Not really. The reality is they could use planes, subs, boats. No need to go through or even over the US.

Apartment vs house; what do you prefer & why? in c/asklemmy
[–] andrewta 3 points 11 hours ago

House I don’t have to hear my neighbors. I don’t have to smell them when I walk out in the hallway.

I don’t have to hear their radios blaring at all hours. If something goes wrong in the house, it’s up to me to fix it. IfI’m in an apartment, the landlord may or may not fix anything. House values normally will go up. Which means at some point down the road I can actually sell it. Get some money out of it that increase in value will account for whatI had to put into the house to keep it running. In an apartment I have nothing. I’m just literally giving the money to someone .

How much do you tip at a restaurant? in c/[email protected]
[–] andrewta 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

20% for excellent service.

It goes down from there. Yes zero tip is acceptable if the service sucked. If I ordered medium rare steak and I get well done steak. I normally won’t deduct that from the tip since that is a hard one for the server to see. But if it’s something they could have seen and didn’t fix, yeah I’m probably reducing the tip.

The tip is for service above and beyond, not a required part of the bill.

What's the biggest red flag/warning sign you have seen at someone's wedding? in c/[email protected]

The the best advice I have for you is when your home is being broken into or you are being attacked, do not call the police. Just beg the criminal to stop.

So there is zero chance that he might be a good person? Zero chance that he might care about the law? That's a bit of a narrow minded view point.

How do you change the mouse over highlight color in windows 11? Where the mouse pointer is (Apps) in the photo it is easy to see what is highlighted. On the computer screen it's impossible to see (lemmy.world)
 

I finally got the bottom bar to be the color that I want instead of stupid gray. But whenever I’m moused over something in the system, it’s impossible to see what I’m really actually moused over. Is there a way to change that highlight color?

In the photo I’ve attached. It’s somewhat easy to see it, but in real life unless you’re sitting way off the side of the computer screen, you literally can’t see what is highlighted. It’s basically gray on gray. On a side note, I wanna meet the people who actually designed this interface give them a piece of my mind. But big question how do I change the highlight color of what I’m moused over.?

Why is it when I watch a movie at home? It seems like I have to go deaf just this way. I can hear the audio of somebody speaking compared to the explosions and other special effect sounds? (self.nostupidquestions)

OK, the title is poorly worded. Sorry. What I mean is I’m watching a movie right now. When they’re speaking, I have to turn the volume up,but as soon as there’s any sort of special effect sound I pretty much go deaf because it is so loud. For the record the movie I’m watching is beauty and the beast put out in 2017 with Emma Watson. Speaking I have to set the volume to approximately 45 out of 100 on my home theater. As soon as they start singing, it is so damn loud it’s insane. Why would they do this and how do I fix the problem?

I’m using a Roku for Disney plus and a Denon receiver AVR-E400. I’ve tried going into the settings for Audyssey and strong dynamic volume to medium but that only helps a little bit. Maximum is a possibility, but then the audio doesn’t even sound correct it’s like I don’t know how to explain it, but it sounds strange at that point.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem because the dynamic range that I’m having is insane. I’m glad I live in my own house an apartment otherwise the neighbors would be pissed off at me.

Edit: I have a 5.1 system

I'm trying to use Microsoft Excel 2019 and have Outlook as the default email program. Excel won't open outlook and I can't figure out why. (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I’m sure it’s a simple setting that I am missing, but I would really appreciate if somebody could help me out and walk me through thesteps. If this is not the correct community, please don’t just delete this post. Please let me know where to post it at and I will Make the change. I should ask is it even possible using Excel 2019 to have it use what I think is the newest version of outlook as the default email program on Windows 10?

I tried to go to the Phillips website then I went into the eye comfort section and clicked on shop all eye, comfort bulbs, and it saysI’m sorry there’s nothing available which I know is BS. The website is broken.

And I don’t even care if it’s Phillips or a different brand I need something that runs in the 3000 K range. I’d love 3500 but I don’t think I can get that. With flicker free ( and I have just spent the last 4 1/2 hours looking Online and I can’t come up with anything so does anybody have any ideas of what I can buy and please offer a link to a product.

I am now currently using the last of my incandescent bulbs. If one of them burns out I am out of luck my room will be dark.

Normal lightbulb. A19 type

Or am I just searching for something that literally doesn’t exist?

It shows fever is a symptom. Even if I ask the question of what is the most common symptoms it still shows fever. Did Covid mutate again and now fever is one of the most common symptoms?
