My DND group is all men, because it’s just me. Someone please play with me.

Dunno, I just don’t believe my NixOS config files are particularly valuable. What is the benefit of sharing garbage code from a novice? I’d rather share things worth sharing, that could be useful to someone else.

I do the same thing. Anything I put on there isn’t something that I would share with the Internet anyway. If it was a serious project, sure. It’s just nice to have a personal git you can access over a VPN sometimes.

Ignorance of what? It seems that if you’re using a word the same way your sub culture uses a word, it’s correct. Or rather that words can only be used correctly within a context.

It’s crazy how you hurt less if you exercise all the time

It’s really the only answer, an no I don’t speak Cantonese. But I could make up fake translations for everything they say.

I have to practice pretty hard to do that, it’s much easier in a journal than in my head to dialogue. Do you find it helps being mindful?

Try eating some halmark greeting cards.

Mine don’t stop either, but it’s just constant words. Are your thoughts mostly images?

Some people also don’t have an internal monologue. I’m probably a 3 or 4, it takes significant effort to see something in my head. But my thoughts a words and they definitely have a voice.

I assume there is a scale for how well we can imagine every sense.

Meh, depends on the tourist, but yeah that’s how I look at hockey kids, the state I give hockey parents is even worse.

I did get to meet a sociopath once while working construction. Some of the guys at the company liked to go to music festivals, and you meet some odd folks there. Well one of the guys made friends with this dude who was down on his luck for some reason or another and he got hired on with us.

He was manipulative, but not very good at it. He would shower some people with compliments, like constantly and for pointless things. But if he didn’t think you were worth sucking up to he would absolutely refuse to do anything you asked (which he tried to do to the company second before he learned he owned part of the company). He would work slow, was on drugs frequently, and spent any money he got as soon as he could. Money he usually got a week early because he couldn’t afford food since he would spend all his money.

Anyway not long after we fired him we learned he had been in prison for sexually assulting a minor, and was back in jail for something else.

Thankfully I wasn’t important enough to get his attention, so I never got to interact with him directly.

Not just music and politics, it’s big into blue collar now too. Carpentry and building (non-union stuff like mansions), I know a lot of groomers (people who groom ski trails) on coke. Really any job that benefits from you working long hours. Sometimes it’s worth it for the overtime, or if you own the business then finishing the contract fast may have a bonus.

I’m about 200 pages in, it’s really good. But I wish there was a primer I could read about the themes, symbols, and historical context of the book. Just so I know what I’m looking out for. Searching for things on the Internet has gotten frustrating though. I did find the website that has notes about what all the words mean though.

I think they usually use several layers of thick glass for these floors, so even if you dropped a coffee mug on the glass and it broke, there should be several more layers under it that should still be plenty strong to support your weight. Also I don’t think glass experiences bending stress the same way metal does, where it gets most of its damage from impact fractures. Meaning you can bend glass a lot and it won’t change, but if you introduce micro fractures it can weaken considerably. So an engineer would probably consider the first sheet of glass as sacrificial.

Been a long time since I read about this stuff though, would love input from someone better read.

No such thing as a sunk cost, move onto something more enjoyable if you can.

As a manga reader, read one piece, it’s great starting from volume 1. But I can’t watch the anime, it’s too slow. I don’t like most anime though.

Edit: not really a fan of TV in general I guess

I think I started playing Warframe when it just came out, but only like 30 hours maybe, came back several years later and played 30 more. A couple years ago I played 30 more. I’ve always been so confused and it only gets worse every time I come back. But I like the bits where the ninja goes woosh and chop and bang, so that’s pretty cool.

I’m still not totally clear on where the line for plants is, what’s the deal with phytoplankton? Why isn’t brown algae a plant? What are archaea? Also wtf is a species? is there a point in learning biology where things start to make sense again or does in only get muddier from here

Probably not helpful but when I was roofing and at work for 11-12 hours a day, getting home and going for a short run really helped out (~4 miles). Something about that cardio gave me more energy and would guarantee I’d at least take a shower after. I think I was only running 3-4 days a week then.

It’s also a great time to decompress, just being alone with your thoughts a little. Then for a while after your heart rate is elevated and you’ve got some extra energy.
