This is my experience -- your foot gets in the door to get an interview easier though.

Some other games with similar vibes to Obra Dinn: The recently released Echo Beach.. "As a clerk at the Ministry, your job is to hunt down the remaining musicians in their place of last refuge - The Musicnet." https://

I agree it's pretty grindy, but there was a free DLC that introduced "workers" (zombies) and that cut down on a lot of the grind.

I'd love to watch something while rowing but inevitably I start to lose form while distracted.

The tweet that got the account locked was a reply to the first one presented: "@craigmod There may be a video on how to cut off your leg"

I've heard that Pringles tubes (foil lined cardboard with plastic lids) are a bit of a recycling nightmare for that reason.

Surprised the heck out of me too, I would have intensely weird and disturbing dreams if I took a whole melatonin tablet (around 3-5mg). Slept a lot better once I started dividing them into quarters.

Have you ever tried engineering paper? :) Might save you the step of taping grid paper! The grid only exists on one side, but essentially disappears when scanned. https://www.staples.com/TOPS-Engineering-Computation-Pad-Gum.

78 at my thermostat can easily mean 85+ on the upper floor. (No it's not a very efficient house)

As an adult I love recognizing the patterns and anticipating what's coming next! The only difference is the patterns get more complex :)

Hah I hope not. I'm 31 and just starting my time as a stay at home dad. I sure hope the tech jobs are around for me when I make it out the other side :)

Hah yes, inspectors try to be as minimally liable as possible. Ours went to great lengths to get us to have someone come out and check the "stains" underneath a bathroom sink without actually saying the m-word that rhymes with col

Does it not have a spin cycle? After that runs on mine there's nothing left to drain. Edit: oh no apparently it's a questionably maintained communal laundry room unit, I'm so sorry

"A Tour of C++" is only 256 pages and the 1st edition is what I used to get into modern C++ in the workplace years after a strange mix of C/C++ labs in college.

You're only a few years into your career, not saddled with an oversized tuition from a prestigious university, and already making $200k with a sizable net worth. In my books that's absolutely a path to wealth!

The deskcycle has a port for its own odometer that's just connected with a regular 3.5mm audio cable. I don't remember 100% what the app does. I think I got as far as translating pulses to the same "speed" measurement as

One pet peeve of mine with the button-ish links is that sometimes they only work if I click on the text itself .

Great writeup! I did something similar for the (much dumber) DeskCycle which has a simple odometer. Conveniently I was just able to plug it into Aux In and track pulses. https://github.com/lfowles/deskcycle

I'm not sure how treatment plans vary, but I'm required to have medication checkups with a doctor every 3 months and a yearly EKG & blood panel.

It's so weird to keep hearing that prescription doses of these drugs are addictive. I regularly forget to take them until it's too late in the day and if I took them I would have trouble sleeping... :/

I've heard there are some drugs that impair executive function enough to simulate bad ADHD, it's too bad they're probably not legal to for people to take to gain a sense of empathy :)

This was a major symptom that led me to seek a diagnosis. I was never diagnosed/medicated for ADHD until I was 25.

One of the actual bullshit things about ADHD is that I often can't focus even on things I do like . Absolutely nothing convenient about that.

On the other hand if you're stopping there for a charge, you'll be spending longer and have more time to consider just popping in for a snack.

Isn't the danger now that someone could call into your bank and say "I forgot them exactly, but the answers are just random strings"
