  • I also had this happen and ended up using a combination of Picard and Winyl to get everything sorted back out. Took way too long though, considering that I also had them immaculately cataloged before giving them to Google Music. Makes me super nervous about my Photos.

  • Calling it Lemonade might prove to be a problem because there's an understood meaning for the word lemonade that doesn't involve caffeine. They could have marketed it as lemon-flavored but calling it lemonade and putting it next to the regular lemonade could be construed as them trying to hide the caffeine content from consumers.

  • I've got 3 Kobos in my house and we love them. I got one of my best friends to switch to Kobo after her final Nook died. If a Kindle doesn't appeal to you, a Kobo might be exactly what you want. And they have a huge variety of models to choose from.

  • If you're trying to replace your Pure Beech Jersey I can recommend Sheets and Giggles as a suitable replacement. They aren't jersey but they are just as soft. My husband loved Pure Beech and replacing them was a huge problem for us. Sheets and Giggles is around twice as expensive and made from bamboo modal instead of beech but they are the closest we've come so far.

  • ADHD makes you work 2-3x as hard all the time about everything you care about so when compared to a regular person we are fucking superstars at working our asses off just to get along.

    Unfortunately nothing is measured in effort and caring alone. So until you also get good at whatever it is you're doing, you don't get any notice. So we appear from the outside to go from okay to amazing at things pretty quickly and faster than other people, but it's really because we're either working 200% or not at all.

    Don't sweat the grade. You've now burned into your memory this failure and you will have an easier time remembering to stop and check your files for that kind of error before submitting. I've been in the workplace 20 years now and I have 1000 past disasters whispering in my ear every time I do something so my work is exemplary compared to my coworkers and I look like I have a superpower. I just have a lot of experience failing first.

  • I'm not convinced this wasn't a planned strategy to get OpenAI back in the headlines for a week.

    I didn't think so at first but now that it looks like everything will go back to "normal" before the US Thanksgiving Weekend, I feel like maybe this was a "Chinese Firedrill" to get attention for something other than their training data and legal problems.

  • Get checked out for sleep apnea! Being bored at work is normal but not being able to stay awake for an 8 hour shift means you are absolutely not getting proper rest when you are sleeping.

    While you wait for your appointment, you can try resetting your sleep pattern by taking a solid 5mg dose of melatonin 60 minutes before bedtime for a week and ensuring you have 9-10 hours before you need to be up. I was in bed for 8 hours every night and got a rude surprise when I got a Fitbit for sleep tracking and found out I was only getting 6 hours of sleep in those 8 hours after you subtracted all the time it took me to fall asleep and any night-time wakings. Turns out I wake up 4-5 times a night and don't remember it in the morning. Rolling bedtime back 90 minutes felt like a chore but it was worth it to feel good every day.

    Working full days does suck so I tend to try to give myself 2-3 things to look forward to during my shift to split it into 3-4 time blocks. Sometimes they are little candies like Lifesavers or Jolly Ranchers, or 10 min bathroom break with phone game, reading something interesting in Lemmy, taking a walk down to say Hi to someone elsewhere in the building, any little activity that feels like something I want to do, that's not strictly in my job description. Depending on your job you can even plan 6 of them and give yourself something for every hour that not first and last.

  • High street is an alternative term for Market and used in towns where Market Street is not used. None of them are really the highest street in town, at least not in the US East Coast. The actual elevated places are usually called -view.

  • Guaranteed the top 1% of Kenyans produce more emissions than the bottom 60% of Kenyans and the bottom 60% of Americans. One super rich person with a jet can produce literally tons more emissions than a normal person without one. Kenyan elite aren't somehow less wasteful emitters because their country has overall less emissions.

  • A lot like Vampire Survivor, the hook is that it starts pretty simple and it ramps the difficulty every minute that passes but you're constantly able to buy more items with powerful effects. By 15 minutes in it's a starting to be overwhelming and by 30 minutes in you are doing a LOT of clicking and there's countless hordes of enemies but because of the particular combination of items you've picked up, you're still alive and every shot causes a chain reaction of other effects. Or you get a combination of items that doesn't mesh terribly well and something gets a lucky shot in and you're dead at minute 22 with no warning.

    Also the items are mysterious and you're always finding totally new ones you've never seen before and their powers are wildly different. The story of the game is more told in the item descriptions you can only read in the loading menu than any other single place. I've played 1000s of hours and still refer to the wiki before trying to tell the "story" of the game.

    The intricate level designs, complex item interactions, and the rocking soundtrack are also worth mentioning because they are substantially above average for a game of this type.
