I use it all the time. I’m an engineer though so it doesn’t really counteract what you’re saying.

I drive a 750cc bike and own a 2015 Prius. The bike gets better mileage.

I built a computer and didn’t have high speed Internet about 18 years ago. Couldn’t get Windows activated so a friend gave me a (Debian?) CD so I could get something going. Been keeping old machines alive with it ever since.

I beat that game at 10 years old with only my starter. Like I knew in concept you should train other Pokemon but I just had a level 86 Blastoise by the end of the game.

After years of dominating everyone at my high school in LAN parties, we finally got the Internet at my house and I played my first few online games.

I got my shit wrecked 10x in a row. Haven’t played SC online since lol

Same with the Xbox version of ninja gaiden

Yeah I can see how this is complicated.

I don’t see why you don’t share that you got the job offer and then tell your kids that you’ll have to work out custody arrangements with their mother. And then share with the kids how those discussions go. I think they’re old enough (as teens) to have a say in those discussions, as well as be privy to how they go.

There’s no reason they shouldn’t see it unfold in front of them; just make sure that you’re never the one to specifically say “your mother won’t work anything out with me so moving overseas with me would mean I never see you again”

This is what I did. I archived about 200 hours of home videos for my mom and grandmother. I tried to do it for my mother in law but her tapes had been stored improperly and they all crumbled as soon as I put the cassettes in the player.

Any independent jeweler can help you out.

I will say one practical consideration is that diamonds are really hard and don’t get scratched. You may want to consider hardness for any replacement gemstone (rubies and sapphires are the next hardest).

If God hadn’t meant for men to fuck each other, he wouldn’t have put a g-spot up their ass.

I literally just bought Shokz (apparently the ones I bought are called OpenRun Pro- as I was looking up the model that I got, I learned that apparently I could have got some truly waterproof ones which I kind of regret not getting now, but these were already at the far edge of what I’m willing to spend) and have basically not taken them off in the 3 days I’ve had them. I couldn’t give you a recommendation one way or the other on the specific brand, but they seem serviceable enough. I’m really more enamored with the technology itself rather than the brand.

I originally bought them because I had a hearing test done long ago, and as part of it they use bone conduction headphones to test your inner ear separate from your middle ear and outer ear. After that part of the test, my tinnitus was completely gone. It crept back in over the course of a few hours, but only in one ear. It returned to stereo tinnitus about 3 days later. I wanted to figure out the specific frequencies I needed to play via bone conduction to make that happen again. it was one of the first times I’d experienced true silence in my life, and and I haven’t forgotten it.

One of the biggest annoyances I have with traditional headphones is how big of a deal it is when you get interrupted when you have them on. With the bone conduction stuff, your ear canals are never blocked so any interruption is handled just by hitting the play / pause button. This eliminates one of the main reasons I just straight up don’t wear headphones unless I’m in an office environment and trying to be antisocial.

I also have a huge problem with sweat management. I’m a sweaty guy. I haven’t done any kind of strenuous activity yet with these on, but they purportedly handle sweat like a champ, and I’m not running the risk of giving myself an ear infection by keeping them on for hours and hours at a time.

The only real complaints I have with these particular ones are that 1) they’re awkward to wear with glasses, 2) It’s basically impossible to get really nice-feeling bass with them, and 3) they put pressure in a weird spot on my head, so adjusting to them has been a weird sensory experience. I’m still not quite used to them.

(2) really isn’t that much of a complaint because I really shouldn’t be damaging my hearing that way, but (1) might end up being a deal breaker. I don’t know. I hope that’s not the case.

With rain gear link l like this: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/spidi-touring-two-piece-rain-suit

Tbh I live in an incredibly dry area and work from home; I’ve been commuting places I need to go exclusively via motorcycle for 2 years and I’ve been caught in the rain twice. I’ve had to Uber instead of ride my bike once.

Same here. The commute doesn’t seem quite as long vs. when I’m in a car.

How is this not an S-tier power? Did you forget that lungs are inflatable?

Life became a lot kinkier when I learned knots.

Besides getting medicated, I started using this website called goblin.tools - it uses chat GPT to break down tasks into tiny steps. You can do each step recursively, until it’s something you can finally make your brain do. That way it gets rid of the executive function planning step so that you’re not exhausted by the time you start whatever you’re doing.

Have a global setting for not sharing the post title by default when I want to directly share an image from the app. It’s come unstuck and turned back on for me a couple times.

I also wanted to say the only reason I’m using lemmy at all is because of your app; I’m a big fan. As soon as your app turned off for Reddit, I quit using Reddit. I’m glad that you turned to this community, and I’ll support you here too :)

Side note: I’m a software developer, so if you ever want an enhancement in an open-source library, maybe reach out and I can take a crack at it. I’m mostly familiar with Python and C# but I’m always willing to learn new things!

I’d still be a programmer. I’d work on open source projects 100% of the time. It’s something I love to do.

Man’s got to eat though. I still work in an area that makes the world slightly less shitty though, so it’s not all bad.
