I learned about an expensive headset brand today. Their website was fun, their product is exactly what I want, and they have a 5-year warranty. The headsets come with spare ear pads. Never heard about them before today. I somehow trust they’re worth the price.
(Still ended up just buying new foam pads for my current $30 headset, but I was tempted.)
A bunny?
I’m in a disabilities chat group and we’re often surprised when we’re reminded that “0” is the “normal” level of pain you’re “supposed to have” day to day. Everyone’s baseline is different. Pain sucks. (Unsolicited fact: my back pain got much better after I started physical therapy for it. I’m glad my health insurance covered it. Next round of PT: my knees. Why they be like that? [it’s probably the EDS])
We gave away computer parts on Craigslist a few months ago. It was a no-stress transaction and the receiver was a sweet old-school computer person building a basic machine for his kids to play Minecraft. Would do again.
From a “giving tech support” POV, nano is the best editor. Have you ever tried walking a non-techie through editing a config file on the command line, over the phone, no screen share? Nano is your friend. (I swear, this very expensive software I used to support got its sysadmins by picking whoever was absent the day the the client site figured out someone had to do it.)
And if a character of childbearing age and physique is nauseous, they’re pregnant.
Shared with my Linux friend that is learning Spanish to better communicate with the almost-in-laws. They were amused.
update: so was their Windows boyfriend, who helped them with the “bless Gabe Newell” line.
I don’t sleep in my glasses and I don’t sleep in my shoes and coat in winter. I’ll have to get dressed anyway–possibly just in glasses, shoes, and long coat.
My bigger worry is that my dog isn’t currently wearing his harness and ID (he had a bath). I’d have to either toss him in a crate and carry him out, or get him dressed in his harness.
I use mine as my daily driver. It’s cute and sufficient. I still have a large smartphone at home for some things, but the Star is what I take into the world.
