I want my pain to be inflicted on others.

They don’t necessarily lower their standards. Sometimes, they simply “pay” by other means.

I want to chime in with two recommendations that stray a bit from the beaten path:

• SOMA
• Pathologic or Pathologic 2

They’re absolutely right, that is the cause 85% of the time. Make sure to get a non-conductive pick made out of plastic or wood (e. g. literally a toothpick) and remove the dust by circling around the little protrusion, then clean the rounded corners with a little hooking motion.

That’s not what this is about, i. e. it’s not about retracing your steps. That’s common for everyone.

It’s about remembering the feeling you had when you stashed the item away, often knowing, at that moment, that the place you picked is woefully inadequate for storing this particular object, all while being fully aware that your mind will not be able to make the connection later on and you will end up searching for the object, with none of your usual coping mechanisms suitable to guide you.

That particular feeling is then recalled later in a moment of despair, often when the need to retrieve the item is greatest, and accompanied by a certain, ironic amusement looking at the events that led you there, with no one to blame but yourself.

The plant itself is not poisonous to humans or pets:

I checked a reliable German source as well, since I happen to speak that, and it’s definitely not poisonous:

(Gruenlilie is the common German name of the plant, ungiftig simply means not poisonous)

Also, here is a study researching the nutritional values of the plant (among others):

You will also find social media posts of people having tasted the roots / leaves. I won’t include those, but I’d conclude that while you can eat the plant, it probably won’t be a culinary revelation.

Thanks, I knew the art, but never bothered to make a note of the artist.

Thanks for making that comment. I recently thought the exact same thing, started a post but then deleted it, because “the internet” and all.

But the feeling was just about the same: I wanted to start a conversation with people that care about similar things as I do. It’s good to see that it happens.

Regarding scroll saws: I recently found a Proxxon DS230 on a thrift haul. Don’t bother with that model, it sucks. Now I’m in that weird spot where a potential new activity / “fab method” might have been ruined by a shoddy tool.

Hey you, just came by to say I applaud that approach. Verbosity and transparency is where it’s at when it comes to moderation.

When asked what location fans wanted as a fighting stage, one very popular answer was Waffle House. Context: if you crash at WH after a long night out, you’re guaranteed to witness some drunken fighting.

Man, I’d love a Waffle House stage.

Why is Color of Night 2.5 hours?

“Bro gotta go” should work

Why did you post this exact, inane comment in two threads?

Yes, same here. As I said, it was quite interesting and I did it for the same reason, to combine interests.

Sure. It’s just that I determined the same effect could be achieved by a preprogrammed cycle of ventilation and misting - no closed loop needed, as the conditions in the cultivation chamber do not vary enough to warrant the setup.

Funny enough, I also used Sensirion sensors for mushroom cultivation, even had a mobile dashboard using MQTT dash.

After a couple of years, I went back to basic “gardening” to focus on the essentials, but it was interesting for a while. Unless going commercial, I do not consider the sensors to have added significant value beyond providing an interesting side project.

It might also be the other way around. There are plenty of people who are really introverted, so social engagement still drains their energy, but while it’s happening, they can be/appear extroverted, charming, outgoing, sometimes at exponential extra cost.

The difference between intro- and extraversion is not simply the ability of a person to talk to others, their (perceived) “shyness” etc., but also encompasses how they regenerate, what and how much stimulation they prefer and what kind of company they need and enjoy.

For comparison, an American store brand toast:

No, it’s not. This refers to pre-packaged bread, e. g. white bread, toast etc. - the stuff you find in a supermarket shelf, full of preservatives and other additives.

She could also have been the mechanic for e. g. a university racing team, plenty of those around. Doesn’t mean knowing anyone certified to do the job.
