One of my children is heavily autistic and nonverbal at 6. He had constipation issues before which made him fearful of going #2. He trained himself to just never have a bowel movement, so he soils his diapers all day (his bowls are full and it's the natural progression out). It concerns me because he's continuously backed up and that's not good for his long term health.

Doctors have been little help. The gastro put him in the hospital with a drip to essentially clear him out completely but a week after we were back in the same boat. Our pediatrician has us giving him laxatives daily, and even though we do, this doesn't change the situation. The ABA school he goes to takes him to the bathroom very routinely but this also seems to be ineffective. I've tried putting him on the toilet after meals (he's cooperative to sit there), but he seems to still hold back.

Is there some place we can go to for help?

I'm not sure if this is a Lemmy.world issue or a Connect issue. Any time there's a refresh of any kind, I see a lot of these errors. Sometimes the majority of pictures not displaying.

I have a 1920's roll-top desk that is in okay condition but needs restoration.

I got it off the side of a driveway thinking I would restore it but I just have too many projects.

At this point I would like to give it to anyone who would want it. Anyone have any ideas? I don't really want to do craigslist or anything like that because I don't want a bunch of random folks coming to my house.

Our solar system mostly revolves around the sun on the same axis (apart from Pluto). Our galaxy does the same (along with other galaxies). Why? Gravity is linear?

Would it matter if we tried to escape the sun's gravity by going "up?"

I've seen many tests (we're talking the average retail 4-drop kits) come up with varying degrees of positivity as a person goes through a bout with COVID.

Once they test positive, it's usually coming up with that T indicator long before the C shows to.

However, I've noticed that even that length of time for the T to show can vary. Sometimes it starts faded and fills in but sometimes the line can go full color as soon as the liquid hits it. Other times it may take a while and come up after the C (once closer to getting over it).

My thought here is the virus particles per million in a person's mucus are fluctuating during the course of their sickness and the more virus particles, the faster that bar is going to pop on the COVID test.

So then, is it stupid to think the faster the T shows up, the more infectious a person is with their coughing/sneezing?

I'm further along in the game and have an outpost set up where I can easily dump resources, along with production from other places providing all kinds of resources.

Thing is, what was I supposed to do with it all? I started making quite the tower of solid storage along with a good amount of resources, but 6 stories later, I shut down my mine and disabled the resources coming in from other planets because I got tired of trying to keep up with the intake. I still have more than I know what to do with and even if I start automated production of components, what do I do with that?

Am I missing something?

I mainly just want to dump all the resources from my ship and have most of the stuff when I'm building something (which I do).

Resource drop-off had been sketchy lately. It works sometimes, sometimes not (stuck in the output hopper). Any advice on that would be fantastic.

So I stole 2 ships yesterday and find it to be lots of fun.

I learned some important things and thought I'd share.

• When you steal a ship, you have to register it which costs about 9.6k. Apparently you can't sell the ships for much more than that, but I haven't tried yet.

• If you sit in the pilot seat of the ship, you'll see a message about potentially making it your home ship if you take off. If you do not take off in it and just leave, it does not become one of your ships and will disappear if you leave the planet.

• if there are ecliptic mercs nearby, attempt to steal the ship before killing them. Sometimes you can, sometimes you cannot. If you kill the mercs, the ship takes off.

• If the ship is sitting there, it may be empty and ripe for the taking. If there's a crew aboard, there may be something you can do (chat with the captain and get something), but most likely you'll piss off your companion if you just "take care" of them.

I don't think there's anything that counts as spoilers here.

Those bricks take time.

Would it be possible to make the NSFW blur customizable? The big red box stands out like a sore thumb and there doesn't seem to be a way to make it a different color or use a graphic or something.
