I gave up on thinking about it (at least, DC) as flow, and started thinking about it as pressure. It’s a small mental flip that made a bunch of things easier. I’ve also heard people talk about it as the movement of holes where electrons are not.

I feel you, friend. Similar situation here, possibly reversed. If I’m grumpy, or mad, or just having a rough day, I have to be exceptionally careful in bringing that to my partner. They deal with a lot, so when I add anything to that pile, it often explodes. So the pattern is me saying ‘Here’s something I am upset about. Please can I have five minutes of your time to listen to me.’, then two days of me comforting my partner because they somehow contributed to this and they hate themselves for it.

God damnit, three replies in this thread, and one of them is someone who beat me to the one I was going to say! Well played.

My second favourite, then-

Do you know the heading cause of dry skin?

If you’re looking for a job, trying to get into the daily grind, then getting a job should be your daily grind. If you are looking to get an 8hr a day job, 8 hours of your day should be spent tweaking your resume for the next application, hunting for jobs, doing short courses, etc.

You forgot the bit where they hold up a second mirror and you nod awkwardly, mumbling something that’s not quite ‘yep, that’s the back of my head, yep, I agree, you have cut my hair, thank you for showing me the proof’

Thingiverse is great, but the real benefit of a 3d printer for me is the super-custom stuff. The gap between my kitchen sink and wall is pretty small, so I designed and printed a sponge caddy that sits in there perfectly, and drains into the sink. My sunnies didn’t fit into the holder in my car, so I designed and printed a little clip with a holder on it that fits in really nicely.

You could also just shoo them outside. I’d prefer to not have fly guts all over my hands, and I don’t really have the need to kill every fly I see.

I love me some skiing and snowboarding and what not. But I’m so glad I live somewhere where I don’t have to clear the driveway.

I’ve heard it explained with the joystick controlling the head of the character.

Imagine a joystick sticking out of the back of their head. That’s your controller joystick.

Oi fark orf ya caaant, no ones farking getting off on dis shit ay.

I work in an environment that can have some tight timeline, high stress moments. People often deal with this with a kind of controlled panic- “Hi. This thing is not working.” “Fuck, this is not working, quick, try that thing! Argh! Not working either! Oh no, shits fucked. Shit… Ok, try the other thing! Fuck, call Gary, they might know what to do!”

Then I worked with a person who had this totally different approach. When shit hit the fan, they just super calmly looked around, and said “That’s a bit boring.” Just that phrase shifted my whole perspective on the industry. Just treat the problem as a minor annoyance, and you’ll see that it’s rarely worth getting panicked about.

The other thing they taught me- no matter how urgent it is, never run. Running makes it look like we fucked up. And we don’t fuck up, we just have the next thing that needs to be fixed.

It’s so good that it’s even in Coca Cola!

Since COVID, the use of that word has got unprecedented levels.

The weird part is the government are trying to get the children to stay away, rather than track down the pedophiles.

As in, three hours from crash landing to this station? Or, after unlocking the sector you flew for three hours? How does the whole unlocking thing work, anyway? Could I not just fly there as soon as I get to space?

I was entirely confused for a moment- I think you might be getting an echocardiogram, rather than an electrocardiogram. If you could hear an electrocardiogram, there would be something seriously wrong with their machine- It’s meant to be a passive electrical measurement. Echo on the other hand is exactly what you described, an ultrasound of the heart.

I was actually thinking you might have a strong interoception, which is when people have an awareness of their own heartbeat signals- super rare but super cool.

The two main differences in what I consider a MUD vs a Dwarf Fortress / Caves of Qud would be that the mud is first person and has a textual description, where DF is third person and uses ASCII to represent things in space. So to describe a Dwarf next to a Goblin in a small room, DF would display:

####
#D.#
#G.#
####

While a mud would display:

You are in a small room. A dwarf stands next to a goblin.

Try putting the egg in later, so it’s still soft after cooking.

You can buy crispy onion pretty cheaply, put it on at the end to give it a little texture.

Try it soupy, try it dry. Try draining it and adding the seasoning to the dry noodles.

Big spoonful of peanut butter / gochujang / miso / langaoma
