The variants of Mr Self Destruction on Further Down the Spiral are even better all together.

But I have to disagree about Hurt, it is as good as they say it is. I play the NIN version on guitar and it gives me goosebumps.

My biggest beef with the Cash version is “crown of thorns”. It’s almost as bad as when Ceelo sang “all religions true”.

He was messed up but I don’t think he was a pedo. He loved kids but not in that way.

Suss out medical causes through blood work, sleep study, etc. Work with your Dr on this.

Also work on sleep hygiene. Strict routime (go to bed and wake up at the same time every day), comfortable bed, cool dark room, preparation (nothing exciting, no screen use, no caffeine leading up to bed time), and mindset (we sometimes use headspace to help with bed time anxiety). My anxious kid has a weighted blanket and that helped him a lot.

Exercise during the day helps a lot with sleep and general well-being. I feel better and sleep better when I avoid sugar.

I don’t know how to learn decisiveness but I believe it can be learned through practice and I believe that being decisive helps you sleep. You know you did what you thought was right, there is less worrying about your decisions afterwards. My other son and I are this way and we sleep like babies. Speculation, there is definitely a correlation there for us so maybe it is causal.

I have the titanium and love them. They are perfectly adequate for listening to audiobooks on runs. On the road bike it can get drowned out by wind noise so hard to hear spoken word but music is OK.

They really shine when doing construction. I can use earplugs and the sound is way better with them in.

Depending on your interpretation of the Drake equation, they are either impossible or inevitable.

I kept waiting for the part where he’s super religious, but was ultimately let down. I may have to read his book.

Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them?

Just so tired of almost every time a doctor submits stuff to insurance, we have to be the ones to make multiple phone calls to both the doctor’s office and insurance to iron everything out, figure out what the issue is (it’s always a different issue), and basically be the go-between for the office and insurance. What am I...

Capresso Infinity. It is an inexpensive conical burr grinder. I bought mine in 2012.

Mine lasted about 4 years before the thermister died. I replaced it with a 1Ω resistor and it works no problem. I’ve had to replace that resistor about every 4 years, three times so far, most recently a couple months ago. I would guess it is there to limit heat in the motor but the motor has not yet failed so 🤷.

I grind 60g of medium fine or 40g of coarse just about daily and it has otherwise held up fine. In the summer for the last few years I grind 120g of coarse every few days for cold brew, that is a longer grind and probably the most risk of overheating but hasn’t really affected the life AFAICT.

You may be able to spend more on a grinder that lasts more than 4 years, but this is a cheap and easy fix if you’re handy with a soldering iron.

My favorite class in grad school. I absolutely loved deriving the laws of thermodynamics from first principles based the random motion of atoms. It was beautiful.

Steel etching with Winsteard’s reagent. It is a bit dangerous because if done wrong it forms explosive dust. It was also long and tedious because the liquid must be near boiling and stirring so it evaporated quickly and has to be topped off and brought back to temperature often. The etch itself requires a long temper of a quenched sample and has an iterative process of etching and back-polishing to gradually remove surface roughness but leave the slightly deeper grain boundaries.

It took several hours of preparation and several hours of active work per sample and even then had a 50/50 success rate. I was professionally trained by a third party who learned this process from the person who perfected it, George Vander Voort.

That’s a phase diagram, there’s probably lots of cool things going on in the solid state below that line. Probably different ratio solids at each peak. 1:4 3:2 etc. The % are goofy because it is reported by weight but behaves based on count.

Depends on temperature and pressure. This diagram doesn’t go that low, but I would guess it’s a solid in the near vacuum of space based on what I know of space ice like Saturns rings and comet tails.

I should be able to do this but it isn’t working. Another commenter fixed.mr moskeeto but I found other problems after that like Madagascar.

You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

I’ve got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them....

StarCraft, warcraft 2, HL, Portal, doom 1-2, Simpsons doom, quake 1-2, command and conquer series, Dune, NES emulator and the full game library zip.

I probably don’t need that many but yeah.

Define your standard of clean. How much clutter do you want? How much dirt is OK?

Then break tasks up - decluttering, vacuuming, dusting, mopping, and schedule each as often as is needed.tp.mwet the above standards.

My personal standard is to do light vacuuming and decluttering every day. Dishes and cleaning kitchen +dining room at least daily, sometimes twice as needed. Bathroom cleaning and more extensive vacuuming every week. Dusting and mopping every couple weeks.

Most of my non-floor surface cleaning is done with method pink or 409 and microfiber cloths. A battery Dyson vacuum was a game changer and makes touch ups way easier; no wrangling with cords, just grab it off the wall charger and push it around for a few minutes hitting spots you can see dirt.

Nature’s miracle is great for pet or kid messes, I use both the hardwood and carpet formulas.

One of the local roasters sells whole bean at Costco so that is my go to. I occasionally splurge on local fresh roasted single origin, one in particular that is my favorite local bean.

I got a cheap conical burr grinder 16 years ago. I’ve had to replace a resistor 3 times but otherwise working great.

I love to use my stainless French press but most days brew a pot on the Keurig out of convenience. The wife doesn’t like the silt and it’s not worth brewing two batches different ways. If I am alone I’ll French press it.

News outlets made it worse. I read three articles and all three suggestively mentioned the Indian crew but none mentioned non-Indian captains.

They also mentioned the SOS call and power failure so I assumed it was a maintenance problem, not necessarily a people problem.

Do you have some kind of subconscious awareness of interests you already have or know you eventually will take deep dives into at some point in life?

I mean like awareness that, just under the surface, there are deep explorations waiting for the right time and place to emerge; things you’ve set aside or placed on the back burner but will tackle eventually/many you already have tackled....

Pulptastic ,

I identify interesting rabbit holes as I go, and I do eventually pursue some of them when the timing is right. It’s not really subconscious though, conscious me is making those decisions.

I personally would rather follow topics than people. I don’t know or care what the founder of Adobe had for breakfast. I like the idea of community aggregate voting to drive an interesting feed. Maybe Mastodon can do that better than I know because I only gave it a few days… but I was nowhere near what I wanted after a few days where Lemmy was good from day 0.

Too much delta t leads to too much delta T.

I wonder if the tater could be sous vide after slicing to perfect temp and then somehow flash crusted. Similar idea to twice cooked fries that are boiled, frozen, then fried.

Antibiotics May Soon Become Useless | The Walrus (thewalrus.ca)

What I love about my Garmin is it does all it does without a subscription. I’ve looked at oura, whoop, and withings and they all need a subscription for full functionality. It seems Garmin bakes that cost into the device price, so you pay more up front but also get what you pay for.

My Venu 2 is awesome. Sleep, stress, body battery, vO2max, and almost any activity I do including hike, bike, snowshoe, snowboard, paddle board, disc golf. The battery lasts 5-10 days depending on how much GPS I use.

It has a few smart features but the above is more important to me.

Is there any medicine that can give me happy hormones and does not need a doctor's prescription?

Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?

Exercise, sauna, and completing small projects can help.
