I have a row of macro keys on my keyboard on the left side. I thought I’d be smart and add copy and paste macros (that were near mm’s away from Ctrl) and I never used them.

Muscle memory would always take over and I’d Ctrl+C Ctrl+V. I realized it would take more work to train myself to use the macro keys (and God forbid I used a different keyboard) than I was saving not having to press a key combination

Same on windows. Works in most applications except some Microsoft Office apps (like Excel and Word) that have a separate “past as text” option.

I can’t help but clean mine after every use. It’s like the first thing I do when I get home, right before a shower.

A lot of what you hear is overblown. I’m usually the one to take my kids to activities (karate, gymnastics, birthday parties, etc). I’m very much an extrovert so I’m usually the type to talk to the other parents, play with the kids, etc.

It’s all about the situation and your demeanor. I’m usually the first to stop a kid from walking out of a place, running into the street, etc. I’ve never had a response other than thank you. Most parents appreciate the help.

Sometimes you might find parents that are a bit colder, but that’s the exception, not the norm. As long as it doesn’t seem like you’re trying to lore the kids into your van with candy, you’re probably fine.

I’ll say it, Blue Chew. Never really had a problem getting hard but it takes my partner a lot longer to get off than me, so I wanted to make sure I could last long enough for them. No regrets, great decision.

Runner up is a Purple mattress. We tried soooo many mattresses and couldn’t find one we truly liked. My partner suggested trying Purple. I was first against it because I felt like it was just marketing but agreed because of their return policy and we’ve gone through sooo many mattresses at that point. It ended up being our favorite by far and kept it.

Complimenting another guy’s physique is a bit weird I think unless you’re trying to date them or are someone who works on their body as well.

As an older guy who recently got into shape (and am definitely not an introvert) it always comes across a bit weird to me when someone who is out of shape mentions it.

As a hetero male, of course I’m happy when any women mentions it, but it actually feels better when someone who is in better shape mentions it (probably because I’m married and a women’s comment, while nice, isn’t actionable but someone who is in better shape knows the work it took to get here).

I originally completely over engineered it by tracking the YTD humidity and adjusting for the difference between the current average and last year’s and then someone mentioned just putting a second humidity sensor outside the bathroom. So I just do that. If the bathroom humidity spikes about 10% over the humidity outside the bathroom, it turns on and then it turns off at a static number.

It sounds wasteful, but I already had a sensor in my primary bedroom, and the thermostat is right outside the kids bathroom so I didn’t have to install anything new.

I then added a cooldown to make sure it doesn’t end up in a loop where it keeps turning on and off (that’s never actually happened but it seemed like a good idea).

I also use it as a way to control the lights. I use motion detection to turn on the lights, but they used to turn off while someone was in the shower. Now it checks to see if the fan is on and if it is, resets the motion detection timer.

Bathroom fan connected to a humidity sensor is my (and my family’s )absolute favorite automation. I spent so much time on my system setting up sensors, configuring things, etc, but nothing gives me more delight than when I’m taking a shower, the fan kicks on automatically and then shuts off automatically.

I haven’t had to deal with foggy mirrors in years!

GoDaddy has always been pretty shitty.

I moved about half my domains (I have about roughly 30) to Cloudflare and then stopped as I started hitting caveats. For instance they considered some of my domains “premium” and wouldn’t take them. I was having problems using them with some hosted website providers, etc

I let the rest of my domains transfer to SquareSpace and it’s been mostly painless (besides Google Domains completely fucking up my email but that’s wasn’t SquareSpaces fault). I’ll probably run out the registration on all of them and make a decision on where I’m moving my domains next year. Probably won’t be Cloudflare though.

That said, Cloudflare definitely seems cheaper than SquareSpace.

Interesting read, thanks!

Wait, are we not supposed to tie $100 bills to our mortars?

My uncle came back from Vietnam with really bad PTSD (among other problems like alcoholism). Every fourth he would spend the whole day/night in the basement with the curtains drawn (to block out the flashes) and headphones on with the sound turned all the way up (to block out the sounds).

He would also take my cousins to buy fireworks every year.

I don’t mean to minimize your struggle, I just thought the juxtaposition was interesting.

I hope you could work through your struggles. I’m happy to say he was able to. He was able to quit drinking and minimize the effects of his PTSD. By the end of his life he was out there watching us shoot off the fireworks.

The tl;dr of that article isn’t even “no”. It provides both sides of the accounts and references academics that argue both ways.

I read it to make the same argument you did, but ended up considering it a surprisingly well written article.

Dancesafe.org was it! I’m going back over 20 years to the late 90’s early 2000’s. I can’t comment on the state of ecstasy today, I haven’t rolled in over 20 years.

Worse than that, that one website dance something that would test pills found that a huge percentage of the “ecstasy” people took didn’t contain MDMA. A surprising amount didn’t even contain illegal drugs. Just over the counter speed.

When it comes to martial arts, skill does though. That’s why I got my ass handed to me by a 16 y/o girl who is much smaller than me.

Same boat. My partner’s grandfather had a bunch of WW2 memorabilia that their parents passed down to us. Among it are the papers of some Nazis he took off their bodies as well as other odds and ends.

It just sits in a box in our closet. It’s interesting history, but definitely not something I have any interest in displaying.

But this is a different situation. Would you tell an amputee to break a leg? Or ask a blind person if they “see what I’m saying”. I’m sure you could see how calling a single conjoined twin a “half” could be offensive.

Colloquials like that are a great way to make communication more colorful and informal, but sometimes you need to be a bit more sensitive with what you say.
