To use a neti pot you use a saline solution. If you don't trust the water you got at home (boiled first, naturally, both to sterilize and allow for easier dissolution of the salt), you can just buy a bag of NaCl solution in any pharmacy instead.

Just put the sealed bag into a pot of warm water first to bring it up to room temperature or slightly above. Flushing your sinuses with cold water ain't fun.

He banned people from Somalia, Eritrea, Venezuela, Myanmar, etc. - not exactly known to be prolific travelers. So I doubt that has an impact in itself.

His border controls, detention of random tourists from first world countries and general unpleasantness will be a much greater deterrent.

In my friend circle, nobody will set foot into the US while the orange overlord is in charge, and we've all been quite fond of our trips to the States.

Only works on Pixels, and I'd rather not give Google any money.

In Germany it was pretty unusual to eat in school at all, you had breakfast at home (7AM-ish), school starts at 8 and finished at 2PM latest, usually 1.15PM. We all went home for lunch afterwards, and that was that.

With a VPN. They might know you are using one, but everything you do remains obscured.

At that point I'd just get a dumb phone for calls and a tablet with data only SIM for the rest.

Thanks for that! Yeah we tried promoting the community, but it never really got traction. With lemm.ee shutting down, it was either let it die or start over elsewhere, so I don't mind having someone else try :-)

Is there a single instance that allows using apps, other than the api test instance? PieFed is a good idea for desktop, but the mobile website is cumbersome to use.

I signed up with piefed.au several months ago now, but every time I try, I'm getting error 400 "alpha api not enabled".

Das liest sich wie Werbung. Und die Suchmaschine läuft auf Bing mit ein bisschen prioritärem Zeug. Ich verzichte.
