What are best earplugs to use for working in a noisy environment? - Lemmy.World

I’m about to start a new job working in an arcade and diner and want to wear some earplugs for when I’m working in the noisiest parts on-site, partly to protect my hearing but also to make it easier to hear customers and colleagues over the noise. Do you guys have any recommendations for brands or particular earplugs types that would be good for this purpose?

What are the best e-mail providers out there? - Lemmy.World

I’ve got a couple of e-mail addresses with the main providers, but I’m looking to switch to an ad-free and more secure provider. I’ve been looking at ProtonMail, but what do you guys use or recommend?

Calls for Labour MP to lose whip over Kemi Badenoch ‘racism’ post - Lemmy.World

I thought we would eventually see this race-baiter come out, but I didn’t expect it to be even before the announcement of Badenoch’s election was made.

Are there any apps or sites that collate all the patch notes for games? - Lemmy.World

As the title says. PS5 is a pain in the arse for not putting patch notes on the console and I hate having to scour the internet to try and find what’s new in an update. Whether it be “join our Discord” or Facebook pages or hoping someone posts it in a subreddit. So are there any sites or apps that do this well?

How to answer "Tell me about yourself" in a job interview? - Lemmy.World

I’ve got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven’t had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues. One part of interviews I’ve always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they’d like me to actually say, whether it’s about me as a person or about my work history. So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

What pillows do the people of Lemmy recommend for combination sleepers? - Lemmy.World

I have an Emma Original Pillow that I’ve had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain. I’ve tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn’t have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward. I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it’s been so long since I’ve had a good night’s sleep, I’m willing to try anything.

What are the best e-readers on the market? - Lemmy.World

I’m a lover of physical books but I’m looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive. I’ve ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it’s usually poorly made. But I’m not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon’s ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look? So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

Has anyone here used CBD products for anxiety? Do they actually work or is it just a placebo? - Lemmy.World

I’ve suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don’t seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort. So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.
