@cheese_greater@lemmy.world’s thought process seems perfectly rational. Contrary, your continued belittling of and attempts to force OP into the role of a mentally ill person appears almost like a superiority complex or obsession, uncannily so.
You’re likely a wonderful person who just formulated yourself in a very unlucky way, but OP would surely have spoken up if they needed help.
Thank you, but I already know that study.
My problem is, that while it makes a satisfying click noise and temporarily feels good, it also sometimes becomes itchy or perhaps slightly painful afterwards, and I just don’t like that feeling.
Your idea makes perfect sense, though I think it’s not only embedded in culture (parenting), but also in our nature as humans.
I’m tempted to say that humans are born curious, and by extension, most humans like to share their knowledge or more often their opinions. I know I do.
Yes, but I’m trying to wean myself off of it. Partly because it feels like destructive behavior, and partly because it must be annoying for others to constantly listen to me cracking my knuckles.
And most important, don’t look at your phone or have the TV or computer running in the background. They take focus away from doing nothing.
Going for frequent walks might also work if sitting still is not your thing.
Hell, if the Amaricans and Vietnamese can call a girl “Kim”, then we can call a boy “Jennifer” and say we got inspired.
But it should be.
Better technology and more storage should never excuse a lack of optimization.
I’m not up to speed on the optimization levels of mobile Web browsers, but these days you rarely see properly optimized consumer software. Games and websites tend to be the worst offenders, and many mobile apps appear 10x the size you would expect them to be.
As a side note, if you for some reason turn off the central heating entirely and just use space heaters, then the failsafe will do no good.
Most central heating solutions waste some energy when idling, so one might be tempted to turn them off. Please be careful when doing this.
No no, they’re on to something.
Be carefully you don’t loose your consciousness in the process.
Dictionaries or lexicons. Who reads those from start to finish?
Wanted to be an inventor since I can remember, kinda like George Gearloose.
Managed to set fire to my dad’s Lego train by bypassing the controller and sticking the rails directly into the wall socket at age 4. Told ya fuckers that the cable for the radio matched the cable for the rails! But would you listen? Oooh no, you wouldn’t. Had to wait all the loooong time for mom to go to the toilet to try out my idea. And yes, I did cry a lot afterwards.
Currently I’m an engineer on master level working with startups, but haven’t gotten around to get a doctors/PHD yet, if I ever choose to attempt one.
Now, my sister was different, didn’t have any real idea what she wanted to do, probably something with art? So back when I just started learning about C I made a simple project with her, where I did the programming, and she decided on the user interface and did some simple copy pasting. Contrary to me, she very much likes making and solving patterns, such as sodoku, and since has become a frontend engineer, combining work with people, arts and design, and programming.
What I’m trying to say is, that you might find your interests reflected in unlikely places. It can be hard to find them, but keep looking until you find something that catches your fancy. And don’t expect this choice to always be sunny and fun. Even those who have their work laid out for them at birth struggle and question themselves every now and again. :)
Yamato is pretty nice, very unique and playfully design.
I’d also like to add The Mothership from Homeworld. Also awesome story, and the game had revolutionary gameplay for it’s time.
It/that - coincidally also the pronouns I go by when in groblin mode.
“would it like a glass of chocomuh?” - yes, it always wants a glass of chocomuh.
This is likely the viewpoint if the wast majority.
If it’s hard to get through legal means, and comparatively easy to acquire through alternate means? Whelp, guess what is gonna happen…
If I remember correct, then we saw a decline in piracy when Netflix became big, but now that they have become just as convoluted and bugged down as everybody else, I’ve personally started seeing more interest in piracy on the internet again.
Nisser, the Danish, or rather Scandinavian, small and cute gods of protection. As far as I know, the nisse can form when an old farmer dies and is buried on their farm. The nisse will then henceforth protect the farm and it’s inhabitants.
Now, while considered fun and cute in modern times, the gårdsnisser (contrary to the more feral and much more dangerous skovnisser/forest nisser) are very gullable with a strong sense of guilt, and they are hotheaded and intractable/stubborn to an unreasonable degree. They will protect you and give good luck if treated well, but will be intolerable if they feel inconvenienced or not properly cared for, to the point where they might directly or indirectly kill everyone on the farm out of spite.
Sometimes they cause atrocities because of misunderstandings, and when finding out that it was a misunderstanding on their part will cause harm to others to make up to their own farm, such as stealing cattle from neighboring farms to make up for the cows they killed earlier.
Now, the possibly worst thing you can do is to try and force a nisse to show itself to you. The small creatures accept indirect gifts, but don’t like direct contact and have a cursing bite, and will most definitely bite if cornered, such as by a nosy and persistent child. This curse makes one fall sick, loosing health and strenght until one perishes in a matter of months/years. As far as I’m aware, there is no cure for the curse, and regarding the nissers tendency to be fooled or act before thinking, well…
Having a nisse on your farm can be a great blessing, but one is also constantly in danger of having their whole family killed over a minor misunderstanding or mood swing. So it is heavily recommended not to acquire any farms where a nisse might reside.
To expand on your comment:
It’s only as good as the total loss and delay for any given route. One weak connection does not define the speed and delay, instead, the accumulative weakness of all used mesh units, from the modem to your computer, does.
Therefore, you usually want to minimize the number of mesh units the connection has to go through, like making a cabled star or mesh topology instead of a wireless linear topology.
Might not be relevant for op, but playing games or using VNC or other time sensitive tasks can become really tough.
Ayy shit, I come from a island hamlet where we catched live hares and sold them off. The islanders often told outsiders that “To catch a hare, one must sneak up behind it and stray some salt on its tail, after which one can simply grab it”.
I guess it makes sense to see this joke in the wild, but it never occurred to me that we weren’t the only ones using it.
Probably the same reason people keep posting the same questions in tech subs over and over and over again.
There are a lot of people who need help/need to tell the world about something great to them, but few people are capable of or care to search previous posts.
Moderators removing duplicates often results in a bad user experience, especially so for new users who haven’t seen that post tens of times, so it’s often allowed to a certain degree.
Gel, shampoo, balsam, shaving foam/cream, and roll-on deo from Neutral/Minirisk. Simple, cheap, safe. And the best thing? It doesn’t trigger any allergies.
Though, I do use aftershave from Matas, and oil from ecooking.
I think that covers most of my self-care products.
