Diminishing returns like crazy though
This reminded me to call my bank, thank you
I’ve got good fine motor control, which means that I can sew, knit, roll a joint, braid hair, make a pastry, seal a dumpling, fold origami, draw, sculpt, paint nails, pick a lock, and most other fine dexterity tasks, excluding musical instruments.
This sounds like bragging, but I didn’t do anything to earn the ability to do this, I literally just do it and it works. I’m not proud of it (though I’m occasionally proud of the things I can craft) and I don’t think anyone else is unskilled because it doesn’t work when they do it.

4·8 days agoYeah, that’s why I changed it to “won’t sell many.” It’s possible to see snow, but I can’t imagine many people actually wanting/needing to purchase an ice scraper

15·8 days agoIt’s Southern California, I’m surprised they had them at all- they won’t be actually selling many of them no matter what. My BIL has only lived there and in Mexico and when he visited us in New England the first time, he was very confused at the heavy duty brush/scraper in my car.

3·18 days agoI finished! I was ~4 hours late, but it’s a Sunday and I think she’ll be lenient, plus I was done right in time for 04:20 🙃
When I finish nursing this j, I’m going to eat the cookie butter roll I smeared in anticipation of finishing and nearly caved on because it was fucking beautiful.
Sorry, these are some long comments- I guess I’m still in essay writing mode, lol. Now I’m worried that my uptick in posting and prolific comments are going to make it seem like I’m one of the recent ai trolls. I think I just need to eat and sleep for a while, lol.

3·18 days agoI planned to write a paper on my own research in roughly 20 hours (thankfully, the research was a group project and shame is an effective motivator for me, so that got done nearly on time, and the delay wasn’t my fault) and it took me about 60 all told. I got the first third done in a few hours, the next third about 15 hours later, and about 40 hours on the last third and formatting the attachments.
The most irritating thing is that I start to become gradually more and more fascinated and simultaneously hopeful and I’ll finish any moment now, every time I write a paper. I start to enjoy investigating the topic so much that I slow down and hyperfocus on details, sabotaging myself while wishing I had started earlier so I could really get into it. I cannot overstate that this happens every time I write a paper and yet I still always procrastinate starting.
I tried to analyze why I was procrastinating this time and the furthest I got was that I knew once I started, I’d fill the remaining time with it like a goldfish growing to fit its habitat, and I didn’t want to do that much work. But I knew that I would enjoy it once I started, so I couldn’t figure out why I was still avoiding it.
I made a partial breakthrough by writing a to do list for the paper and discussing in depth how one even writes a paper with my endlessly patient husband, but that only worked for the second burst.
Tbh, extra dry skin is the one skin condition I would have expected it to improve. That’s really good to know about the emotions. I’m probably an egg who’s very afraid of turning into a rage machine, but I’d much prefer occasional controllable anger to every intense emotion causing tears (which it currently does for me, even positive ones if they’re strong enough).
Other purported benefits include decreased fatty tissue, increased muscle mass and cognitive performance, and even better skin.
Emphasis mine, but that seems… unlikely

11·2 months agoIt’s almost certainly possible, but it might void your warranty/be illegal, depending on your jurisdiction (and qualifications- it’s probably not illegal if you’re a licensed mechanic, but might violate your employment contract). Even if it’s not illegal, it might affect your liability insurance coverage.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it, but make sure you know what the potential consequences are.
That’s the only one that actually contains fiber

solarpunk memes@slrpnk.net•Expecting heavy industry greenwashing of this
91·2 months agoI got a 2019 used nissan leaf in 2020 (the lessee didn’t like it), but it looked new. My coworkers tripped over themselves to tell me that the production of a vehicle is worse for the planet anyway. Then, when I explained that it was used, they all responded that the electricity was probably dirty anyway. I charged it at the company garage or at my town’s public spots, both of which were solar powered.




What?
