  It’s been a while since I saw it, but I remember most people thought something was wrong with the experiment setup or equipment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Control for me! It was mind blowing for me. Not a difficult game but it really improved my ability to enjoy the game at some points.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s pvp then sure it’s cheating but why would it be cheating for a single player game? Is the point not to have fun?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve come to firmly believe that all games should have an invulnerability setting for the sake of accessibility. It’s probably one of the easier settings to implement for most games and it would have the most impact for the wide range of accessibility needs out there.

  Too much butter and maybe an earthquake.

  Is your condition stable, slowly worsening, or critical?

  Before you do anything, talk to your doctor. They might be able to recommend a specialist in-state or closer than NY. They may even be able to work with a doctor in another hospital. If you want to go to NY, talk to the hospital directly (not through your cousin) and buy the ticket as close as possible. Unless your condition is severe and worsening, they may not be able to take you in immediately. Look at the hospital online and see if they have telemedicine services. You might be able to make an appointment through that.

  Lastly, for the incoming medical bills my advice is this:

  • See if you qualify for financial aid through the hospital.
  • Get an itemized bill and ask if there’s anything that can be reduced.
  • Get the lowest payment plan that you can. Never miss a payment. After some time you might be able to pay it off a reduced bill or it may even be forgiven.

  One technique to become lucid in dreams is to look at your hands (in the dream). Hands usually look a bit off - think AI hands. Then you can do whatever you want. In theory if you make it a habit to look at your hands during the day, you’ll do it while dreaming too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do i pick out a good avocado⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Two things your restaurant might be doing that you don’t at home:

  • Spritzing a little lemon on the avocado to keep it looking fresh.
  • Salt.

  Maybe these will make a difference for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chevy Chase Bashes ‘Community’: “The Show Wasn’t Funny Enough”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This explains why I didn’t get it. I thought Community was ok but never understood why it was so popular. To be honest, I didn’t think it was funny. Guess I just don’t get pop culture references. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I practice being more emotionally available as a man?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t speak for everyone, but asking myself “why” has helped me introspect. If I have a bad reaction to something or don’t when I should, I ask myself why. After a couple rounds of “why” it usually comes down to childhood experiences or social expectations. At least for me. Eventually it gets easier and being able to figure out the source helps figuring out how to take positive steps to correct it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is my printer ticking?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Fantastic, glad you figured it out. Thanks for updating us!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is my printer ticking?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Basic trouble shooting cause this is weird and I have no idea:

  1. If you disconnect the Ethernet, does it still tick?

  2. Does restarting the printer help?

  3. Can you turn the printers wi-fi off?

  My wildest guesses are it could be trying to print off a test page, receiving a signal to print but no info, or maybe it’s switching between checking WiFi and Ethernet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I May Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, What Specialty Doctor Should I Consult With?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’d be a orthopedic physician. If you have insurance then you may need to see your primary care physician first and get a referral so the insurance will cover it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I tame my frustration toward my aging parents?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Get help when you can, remember to fill your cup before others, and try to make peace with the fact that you will have very little control over their older years.

  I was a caretaker to my grandmother for a while and now am approaching a similar stage with my mother. This is pretty cynical, but at a certain point everything’s a downward slope. Sometimes gentle, sometimes steep, and punctuated by good days but the overall course doesn’t change. Accepting how little control I have and acknowledging the downward slope has helped in some ways. It’s an absolutely brutal journey, but it’s like a rip current. You can fight and swim against it, or you can swim parallel to shore. You might end up further out in the end but you’ll at least have the energy to make it back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are these floating on the surface⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, completely normal. I have hard water and my kettles get calcium buildup after a handful of uses. Soak with white vinegar to remove the buildup. Or if you’re like me and forget until last second, boil 50/50 vinegar/water and deal with the vinegar smell, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do Multivitamins actually do anything?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I find they take the edge off my food cravings. But if you have a balanced diet with no natural deficiencies then you’re probably fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What UPS does to cookies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Even for the most gentle shipment service, this doesn’t look like enough packaging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the Best Non-Alcoholic Alternative to an Ice Cold Beer at the End of the Day?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. There should be a couple where you normally buy alcohol. Check out middle eastern grocery stores too. Mine has a wide range of NA beers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh Goddes, rips yes.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What is Rips?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the current "favorite" show?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Both are fantastic and what lead me to the librarians. Maybe it’s time for a rewatch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the current "favorite" show?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Just finished The Librarians and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Onto Good Omens but have no idea how to follow this trio.
