But my job is awesome and I really enjoy it and I’d do it for free if I didn’t have to worry about money. I just want to share the fun fulfilling stuff I did with my friends :(
Luckily we’re all autistic enough to tell me off if they don’t want to hear about it.
kagi at least tries to remove ai slop and gives you the means to report it.
What I don’t understand is YouTube showing me constant ads for something I’ve already bought and like. I’m not buying more earplugs, compression socks, and sports shorts any time soon.
Article from 2014 says it was a factory accident to an 18 year old worker. CW: pictures of his hands post-repair but still bloody.
first link is my attempt to keep the preview from coming up, which didn’t work on my app. :(
ooh, ooh! Ace here. I went through a period where sex was my special interest. I went deep down the research rabbit hole, learned all about sex toys and methods and safer sex techniques. Had willing partners.
At the end of the day, sex is boring and no one is hot/of an attracting gender. I guess it’s like if you were a super straight man and everyone else was men? I don’t know.
Now I’m into knitting and kumihimo.
/me laughs in POTS. I had four 30 oz tumblers of electrolyte water before noon today. (0.94 gallons aka 3.5 liters) And yes, I pee constantly.
I think folks just don’t read them. I use Connect and it shows usernames.
Yep, no shade on you, I just didn’t want the other person to think they’d heard back from the other other person.
Yes, how dare someone want to buy dog food without asking for help.
(the account you just replied to isn’t the account with the blind wife who uses prosthetics)
Yes, and anyone that buys these glasses to increase their independence is a predator, like the parent poster says. /s
The glasses seem like a better form factor than a hand-held phone, for the use case where you’re out and about and your hands are full, managing a service dog harness and/or cane, and trying to shop.
So, I guess you could mount your special phone for the blind on your chest or waist and have it talk to bone conductive headphones you’re wearing. And pick up whatever you’d like described and hold it in front of your chest/waist.
(There’s other options, the glasses just seem more convenient because they’re on your face.)
TBH, I’m also not sure what they meant. The only visual prostheses I know of are things like glass eyes. Maybe “prosthesis” is their term for eyeglasses or contact lenses?
edit: or there are neat things that integrate into your brain to give you sight. So maybe one of those?
I’ve heard those sorts of glasses can be handy if you’re visually impaired and, say, clothes shopping. You can ask the glasses “hey, do these items match?”
Still creepy in the wild, but there are some valid use cases.
edit to add examples:
Yes, and then the good stuff is more likely to survive through the ages and be shown off. I think that’s what parent poster meant.
I hated that box. It was red and we’d just slump down in our chairs to look under it.
The thing that really helped my touch typing was playing MUDS: nothing like a textual goblin attacking you to encourage you to quickly type “kill goblin”.
We give our dog “red pill” (mostly potassium citrate) to make his urine more acidic, so he doesn’t get bladder stones. Sounds right to me.
tbh, I doubt any of that would get through and it would just prolong an unhealthy relationship.
It’s best to cut ties and move on if possible.
Source: my mom sucks and nothing is ever her fault. The exception to the rule was when she got wicked drunk at my dad’s memorial service and kept shouting that she’d killed him. She only stopped once a couple people stepped in to try and reassure her that she hadn’t, which brought the focus back on her. (Spoiler alert: she did. Without her actions he’d still be alive.)
I’m not sure there’s enough space in the dice bubble for the die to roll well.
It’s been a while since I read that classic of heat transfer Hot Air Rises and Heat Sinks, but I’d worry about pockets of air getting stuck around important computer components. Like, sure there’s a lot of air going past things on average, but not necessarily around the things that get the hottest.
