anakin78z @lemmy.world I make things with computers. Preferably artsy things, but I also like to work on random scripts and pipelines. I like D&D & video games, but don't always have time to play them. I like pet chicken. I watch soccer, especially NWSL & USWNT, as well as some WSL and whatever happens to be on.
Probably because there isn't a giant mini blind lobby, and people plastering stickers all over their pickup trucks yelling about their mini blind rights.
At this point the screenshot thing needs it's own sub
I think that if you're comfortable doing it, go for it. If you didn't have any experience, and are lucky enough to live near an avian vet, maybe it'd be good to have them do it once while you observe and can ask questions, but it sounds like you'd do fine as is.
Thank you, I really appreciate the info. I talked to my psychiatrist and she said generics can vary 10 to 20% in potency, and some people are sensitive to that, so that's likely causing the change in side effects for me.
Change in Latuda/Lurasidone 20mg pills?
I just noticed the pills changed a bit, and instead of a 20 printed on one side, it's now a 25. I called the pharmacist and they said that it was changed and they don't know why.
Much more worryingly, I seem to be experiencing increased side effects since I started taking it a few days ago.
I'm curious if anyone else is taking these pills, and if you're noticing anything different?
I've actually been shocked by how little production drops during winter. For example, we Feb & March, our coldest months this year, we produced 1.75 MWh/month, which actually beats every summer month before it, and is only beaten by this August, which was our highest producing month ever at 2.04MWh. Most summer months before that were closer to 1.5. Only thing I need to do is clear the panels after it snows.
App wise I recommend just using the progressive web app (install website as app). It works very well, and you always get the latest updates.
For the server, find one that targets one of your interests.
Oil demand deceleration is up in country where demand for non battery vehicles is down. China.
Yes, it's the embarrassment that's really important here. 🙄
New plan: become an elite athlete, take advantage of free healthcare every 4 years. It's honestly a better plan than my current one, which is to pay 16k every year for healthcare, only to be too scared of extra fees to use it.
I was thinking more of an open API of how the game interacts with multiplayer services, so that in theory anyone could setup a server, or server services. In practice I completely agree with you though. Nobody wants to do the whole "Oh wait, you're on that server? I have an account with that other server" thing. Steam, or some other party, would just become the defacto place.
Oh, it would be super fun if you're into the game, as long as it doesn't become a job, which it might.
I could see this leading to standardizing and outsourcing multiplayer services, which would be interesting.
That being said, before that happens, as a developer I'd be like: here's a zip file with all of our proprietary stuff ripped out. Have fun spending the next few months getting it to work well. Congratulations, you're now supporting a game that did poorly enough for us to drop it.
But seriously, go sign it. Long term it should be a good thing.
That's such a capitalist way of thinking. "The daycare down the street is never going to compete with ABC Baby Slaughter as long as their rates are higher!"
Non EV owners can't grok how convenient home charging is, and the reality that station charging is a general rarity.
I actually don't think it is a deal breaker. How many 300+mi road trips does a person take? So what if it takes longer a few days out of the year?
And you can always prioritize fast charging when shopping EVs, if that's important. We knew full well we weren't getting the fastest charging EV when we bought ours. But, like I said, it was fine on our big trip, and really we didn't stop more often than we usually do, even if our stops were a bit linger, and it didn't have a negative impact.
EV owner in the US with home charger. It's the best. The convenience of never having to go to a gas station is huge. I was so worried about range and charging speed before I got the car, but it's all bullshit. The reality is that I wake up in the morning and I'm ready to go wherever I want to go. I take a few longer trips a year, and I'm always able to find a charging station along the way. The apps make it pretty easy to know where to go. I have a CCS plug, and we're supposed to get the Tesla adapter sometime this year. But even without it, we just took an 800 mile road trip, and there's a CCS fast charging station at least every 80 miles, so it's not like we were ever in danger of not making it. The only thing I don't like about the CCS plug is that they're so damn heavy. The Tesla ones are supposed to be nicer, so there's that to look forward to.
Went on vacation. Felt like I wasn't really able to enjoy it. Decided to go off my meds and had a good day. Came back and immediately went depressive. Back on my meds now. 🤷
Yea, that sounds like it sucked. Glad it didn't happen to me.
MB : Charles Wysocki's Americana : 1000 pieces
Honestly, I kind of hated this one. The bottom 2/3rds were fine, but doing the trees was no fun, and took forever.
Return of the Jedi, Buffalo, 500
This was harder than expected. A lot of easy to sort sections, but not a lot of details within them.
Starting Quetiapine
Day one I pretty much slept all day. Day 2 I'm just irrationally fucking angry.
What will day 3 bring?
Why do modern strategy games hate the grid?
OK, I finally took the plunge on Baldur's Gate 3, and, coming from playing several hundreds of hours of Solasta recently, the first thing I noticed is the lack of a combat grid.
Going back a bit further, my son and I spent a ridiculous amount of time playing Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. We were super pumped for the sequel, but when it finally came out, it kind of fell flat for both of us. Whether or not it's down to this, I don't know, but they also removed the grid.
That game, of course, was an XCom-like. XCom used a grid, but a more recent Firaxis game, Marvel's Midnight Suns, got rid of the grid as well.
To me, all these gridless iterations of classic strategy games just aren't as engaging. I guess they're going for a more immersive rpg type of feel? But to me it seems to sacrifice the strategy aspect, and ultimately, judging based on my hours played, that always ends up being too great a sacrifice. My play time on Marvel's Midnight Suns is less than 10% of Xcom 2, and the same is true for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope.
I'm sure BG3 is a great game, and I'm sure I'll enjoy the campaign, but so far it's not giving me the 'feels'.
Do you miss grids? Or did they only slow you down?
Lauren James out for 2 games following red card
England midfielder Lauren James has been handed a two-match ban following her sending-off against Nigeria in the round of 16 at the Women’s World Cup.
Trying not to implode my life.
BP2. I've been in a depressive episode for almost 2 weeks now and I just can't fucking deal right now. I run my own business and I'm ready to fire one client and to tell another to take their project elsewhere. I know, I KNOW I should not be making decisions like this in this state, but I just can't handle it anymore. I basically quit in the middle of a meeting this morning because I couldn't handle another pedantic fucking conversation, and now everyone is messaging me asking if I'm OK, and I'm not. And there's really fun work that I should be focusing on, but I'm too preoccupied with the crap stuff, and I only have like 1/10th of the energy I should have, anyway, so I can barely muster the energy to just exist.
Thanks for reading. Maybe tell me to not screw up my life right now. Or tell me to go for it. I'm good either way.
TIL about squash vine borers & had to perform surgery on my plants
Are your squash plants suddenly struggling? It could be the work of a squash vine borer. Here are tips on how to identify, control, and get rid of the squash vine borer!
After having a fantastic squash harvest 2 years ago, last year kind of sucked, and we never figured out why. This year things started great, but then started going south, with plants yellowing and squash wilting. Well apparently there's these asshole moths who lay eggs on the stem, which then produce these little effers that bore into the stem itself and eat the plant from the inside. Cutting into the stems I was able to find and remove a bunch of them. Cutting the stems didn't feel great... I tried to cut along the grain, but had to pretty much cut a chunk out of every plant just so I could even see inside and prod enough to find the squiggly things.
Hoping the plants survive and thrive 🤞. Apparently next year I should get a syringe and inject them with something called BT. I had no idea raising squash required a medical degree 🩺
