I usually go with the light switch/outlet screw but you said those are covered. There must be grounded metal somewhere in your house. The microwave body, a pipe or faucet, you could even get one of those grounding wrist straps that plug into the ground port on your wall socket.

Demonstrating that the bottom 99% has had wages increase 50% since 1979 while inflation has decreased the value of the same currency by 320% is damning. There’s no good defense for capitalism here.
It does match exactly what’s happening though. Others have mentioned housing cost which is a clear example, but you can also look at income inequality. Here’s an article which cites data from the congressional budget office https://inequality.org/facts/income-inequality/
It shows up to 500% growth since 1979 in the earnings of the .01% while the 99% of earners are only making about 50% more than in 1979. That data makes it clear that wealth is being concentrated, and that people at the bottom are going with less. Especially considering inflation since 1979 has been 320% (source)
local_taxi_fix@lemmy.oneto Science@lemmy.ml•Wildfire smoke and haze in the Eastern United States should peak this week3·2 years agoI was surprised to see the smogginess in DC last night. It’s gotten even worse today.
From the satellite images it looks like they’re seeing the smoke as far south as North Carolina.

local_taxi_fix@lemmy.oneto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Will you upgrade your PC now that you have a steam deck?2·2 years agoI’m using the steam service, even for emulated games. I’ve just added the exe for yuzu (or whatever else I want to stream) as a non-steam game. Sometimes it does just work but the majority of the time I have to fiddle to get it going. It’s definitely better than the steam link days though so hopefully it’ll keep getting smoother over time.
local_taxi_fix@lemmy.oneto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Will you upgrade your PC now that you have a steam deck?2·2 years agoI do this a lot too, have a steam link I used to use all the time before my deck. The latency is not noticable on the same network but there’s a lot of little things that taint the streaming experience for me, never seems to go smoothly. I’m curious if others have that same experience.
I’ve mainly had issues with either the controls not getting passed through, or an issue where the frame rate jumps really high (like 2500) then drops and gets stuck around 20 until I force the deck to update the display’s framerate.
Once I’m in game things are usually fine but getting it goong can be a headache.

If it’s attached to the wall theres probably bare metal on the bottom, and if not there’s definitely some on the inside when you open the door. Just any bare metal on it.
