Omg this was basically my experience too. I was so mad when I broke out notepad to show my friends how awesome I was and they were like dude

In that case, the grammies are just a private back-patting club, nominations and winners are meaningless anyway and Minaj is a talentless lip syncing influencer. All of which is maybe a little bit true!

It’s pretty cool for an artist to be nominated for a grammy. I don’t know anything about this artist other than recognizing her name, but it’s legit to list those nominations in your credentials. It’s a real accomplishment.

It’s an immediate response to cold hands. Even handling refrigerated chicken, not just frozen stuff.

My hands and feet are nearly always cold. Maui, sunny day sitting on the beach, cold feet. My hands never look quite as radical as yours, but the dermatologist says it’s Raynaud. When I have to handle frozen food or whatever it literally hurts in my chest. Kind of a lot. Do you get that too? … Weird how I sometimes forget to ask the internet about this stuff but I just googled and apparently chest pain isn’t uncommon.

HDR makes stuff look really awesome. It’s super good for real.

Slackware. Installed from 3.5" floppy disk.

I want the physical book for the shelf but I read the ebook on my smartphone. Way more convenient for me.

We know each other?

Steam tells me about new releases that are in my area of interest. I’m mostly into multiplayer games so there are a few of us who keep an eye out and talk about upcoming games and stuff so it’s not just up to me.

You don’t crank up the clock speed for massively parallel workloads like rendering in blender. Higher clock speed is for single threaded workloads that need to go faster.

I can definitely Avalonia for cross platform UI. It’s amazing.

I don’t remember. Long ago. I’m sure much has changed.

I had low expectations for the show and was still disappointed. I really disliked it. Love the books though.

My issue with XMPP was the lack of synchronization between clients. If my mobile was offline while I was chatting on desktop, mobile client would never have the same chat history as desktop and my conversation history would be fragmented. When I asked about it on some developer forum, they basically just said that was out of scope for XMPP and should be implemented in client. Which sort of makes sense if the client is a web client hosted somewhere but I wanted a thin desktop client like pidgin.im

I liked my droid.

This is the worst. Thanks for sharing

It’s one of my favorites.

Honestly? I doubt anyone will think twice about it unless you talk about it a lot.

Regarding meds, the side effects are worse than I expected but the benefits are way better than I expected too. I wouldn’t hesitate to take your doctor’s advice in that area. Just having a baseline for how effortless it can be to handle complex tasks really puts into perspective how much more effort it takes for us. Your first few good days on Adderall or whatever will open your eyes. And if nothing else, you might learn to forgive yourself when you just can’t spare the effort for something in the future.

My wife once sat in the room for a very long time before someone came to prep the room for the next patient…
