one of my old professors published a book of IBM corporate posters a couple years ago and they're pretty cool tho. There are a couple of Paul Rand designs in it iirc, but the vast majority is non-randian https://www.visualmemoranda.com/about

when i got real depressed during 2020, my husband started a habit of cajoling me into making the bed with him every night, and we've kept it up and it's been a nice little thing for us to do together  so idk, i recommend making it a thing if you have a partner

we launder sheets weekly, and it's also much much easier to change out a fitted sheet with two people!

is a duvet cover a replacement for the flat sheet or do you use both? we use a weird combo of flat sheet + weighted blanket + heated blanket on top. no duvet, although i have thought about getting one. i kinda miss having a big fluffy comforter, but a duvet cover would be easier to launder.

mystes posted:You don't have a cover on the weighted blanket? nah, the cover it came with made it too slippery on the top sheet, so we just ditched it. tbh i'd rather have a big fluffy comforter than a weighted blanket, but my husband likes the weighted more. maybe i should look for like, a twin xl-sized duvet just for myself. 🤔

my sister bought me a funko pop for my birthday or something like a decade ago but I didn't know you were supposed to just keep it in the box or whatever, so now it sits on a shelf and falls over if a light breeze passes by. gunplas are rad because the process of putting them together is soothing and fun. but i don't buy gunplas to speculate on their value increasing. idk, i can't make fun of funko pops that much because many years ago, i spent like $100 on two yuri on ice nendoroids and they make me happy whenever i see em.

i had big agoraphobia issues and dropped out in my mid teens, but my last ditch effort to stay in school was me trying to get approval to transfer to the "alternative school" which was basically just a GED pipeline for teen moms and kids who got caught with drugs. i got denied because of my truancy lol. it took three more years to get my GED. i get mad when i think about my public schooling experiences because it just feels like a cavalcade of failures from all adults around me. i also did AT/GT classes in elementary/middle school but i stopped having any interest it in once people stopped telling me i was smart for my age lol.

bob dobbs is dead posted:wasnt sam bankman fried, the ftx guy, famous for abusing some extremely hipster stim no, it was emsam (transdermal selegiline), which is an maoi that metabolizes into pretty minuscule amounts of amphetamine and methamphetamine alongside selegiline metabolites. because it's a fairly arousing/activating antidepressant, it can be used as a slightly effective treatment for adhd, sometimes, but it's main use is as an antidepressant. it's expensive as poo poo but it's a pretty effective antidepressant, and safer than past maois because it has less dietary restrictions for tyramine-containing foods.

re: adhd brains: this seems like a decent use of a chatbot: https://goblin.tools/ also putting in a real task that i need to get done, it actually did break it down into decent and realistic tasks (which can also be input and broken down further), which is like a good 80% of my issues with adhd, so that's kinda cool.

to be honest, i kind of like skyline chili and variants of cincinnati chili, but overall i just think chili on spaghetti is fuckin delicious, and that it's better done with better chili than skyline. similarly, i will also gladly eat a can of stagg chili from costco on some spaghetti plus some diced onions and cheddar and sour cream.

we always had a beer or drink or two at former company off-site lunches, and wine and beer was always served at any company functions (and a separate weekly friday afternoon beer'o'clock event staffed by employee bartenders), but i also live in ~wine country~ so booze is nbd. however i grew up in dry counties in the bible belt, so i am terminally uncomfortable with public drinking. i wasn't forced to have a beer or anything, but i kinda avoided going to events because it felt like drinking was compulsory lol

qirex posted:“full stack” generally means “the dev team plays hot potato with the ui development until the most junior person loses who then makes a Gordian knot of free react components and super brittle sass” question on this: i am working on learning ~programming~ because i'm kind of a mediocre designer over all, but i like UI design and had thought previously that i would maybe focus on visual UI design. however, i've been enjoying the programming learning, even though I'm kind of a dummy overall. is there work to be found if you like idk, enjoy making UI libraries and stuff?

qirex posted:visual design is all but dead as a career, but those skills are super useful to ahve because your average front end dev or ux designer knows basically nothgin yeah i was kinda surprised when i realized the UX engineers i worked with had basically zero training on visual design or aesthetics. and the developers couldn't see obvious things like needing to align text boxes or keep consistent padding or margins. it bugged the hell out of me. idk, i'm fine with low visibility work, i'm fine with boring companies overall, i just ya know, want a job that pays and that i'm not painfully mediocre at.

the best biscuits i've made at home have definitely been those weird bags of frozen biscuits, but i don't think i've seen them in california. also never order biscuits and gravy here, it's always terrible. i don't get it, sausage gravy isn't loving hard, but it's like they just make a lumpy roux and crack pepper over it for two seconds. disgusting

yeah exactly, it's sausage gravy, white roux w/ breakfast sausage. like there's variations and different places make them differently, but it shouldn't have a wildly different taste

mediaphage posted:smaller more focused communities can’t find people around the region duder let alone those around the world. niches within larger social media apps can collect the social long tail yeah, exactly. fun fact: a good 80% of my knowledge about trans surgery stuff is from a trail of facebook groups, in increasing niche-ness. From like, general ftm groups, medical-transition groups, specific-surgery groups, specific-surgery-plus-specific-surgery-techniques groups, specific-surgery-plus-specific-technique-PLUS-specific-surgeon groups. but without facebook, that group just straight up doesn't exist. maybe you have some people sharing info on tumblr or twitter or something, but at least the facebook group has means of filtering people out when they join lol. but it also still requires that kind of obscurity from needing to follow those trails to those more and more specific groups.

Eeyo posted:thanks for sharing, i would have naively thought facebook would be a terrible place for that kind of stuff. but i guess the ubiquity helps out here, when everyone has an account it's easier to network into the niche spaces. what sucks is that it's essentially the same system. the systems are used slightly differently, tho -- on the trans side, they're used to keep people out unless they're serious about it, or have proof that they have gone through the consultation process, proof of having seen a certain surgeon, etc. whereas the terf groups are (i assume??) used to keep people out until they reach a certain "level" of trust in the terfiness, i guess? but it's still levels of niche-ness, and when people advertise those more-niche facebook groups on the less-niche groups for surgical procedures, etc, they drive engagement in the same way.
