Especially since you are going to experience an infinity of time either way, so time dilation doesn’t really matter in any appreciable way. If that’s the big corruption, that’s totally workable. One would also assume you aren’t entirely alone there, if it’s a facility.

Any garment can have a pocket if you sew some cool fabric to the outside!

As long as I don’t turn into some tiny prey lizard, sure. I wanna still be able to play video games.

I think it’s mostly an optical illusion? I could be wrong, but it looks like a plump and stubby lil thing to me.

Even their animated stuff is superb, getting both right at the same time is huge. I hate Apple, but credit where due.

I’m fascinated by a brain that goes to eel living out of water before snake. Do you live somewhere that snakes really aren’t a thing?

I’ve never actually done one of these before, so that’s fun

Not a dick move making someone experience the other option if they can’t appreciate the service you were willing to provide for them out of the kindness of your heart and presumably asking nothing, or very little, in return.

I recently had someone mention that I’m not updating my self-hosted stuff frequently enough (by their entirely arbitrary personal metric), and had the pleasure of writing out some… not overly nice messages about how I’m being selfless and generous sharing my very time consuming hobby with them and asking absolutely nothing in return, and if they want more they can pay for it from someone else or learn to do it themselves. If you make my hobby feel like work, I’m not going to treat it like a job, I’m just going to stop sharing it with you.

I can be asleep at AN 8-o’clock, but will be neither falling asleep nor waking within at least an hour of either of them.

If you learn to read while paying attention to your peripheral vision, you don’t even have to sit to do it, you can go for a nice walk and enjoy the day, while still mostly ignoring reality!

Being that that’s largely legible, how much of that is actually Dutch? I assume the first bit isn’t, but the second bit… genuine tossup how much of that is, for someone entirely unfamiliar with the language.

My man’s definitely got one of these bad boys clipped to his belt. (Yes, the blades fold up)

It’s so cute! I want one here! We’d for sure use it frequently, but more importantly it would mean we have trams!

I stopped years ago. Everyone else needs to get their shit together and hurry up cuz idk how much longer this can last…

Not technically, but they got expelled for it, so yes.

As someone who wore nothing but superhero flip-flops through the entirety of high school in the Great Lakes region, yeah it was neither practical nor particularly socially acceptable. But they flashed lights when I walked. I never had light-up shoes as a little kid, and these were marketed for “kids at heart” so, tradeoff. 🤷🏻

I don’t know about this device specifically, since it seems a bit too specialized for plausible deniability and I’m not really sure what the regulations surrounding this specific market are, but a lot of times not being available through insurance is actually an effort to keep costs down for the uninsured and underinsured, as medical devices are regulated much more strictly than things which can be purchased by anyone who wants one, and meeting those regulations and undergoing testing and whatever else is super expensive.

All those weird “as seen on tv” gadgets are that sort of thing, where you go “who is that even for?” because they show able-bodied people using them so as not to imply the thing is a disability aid.

How awkward are they to use?

I tried to get security to approve using that or something similar for work, but nope. Too sensitive of a job to allow that much access, I guess.

I tried messing with the flags in chrome to allow dark mode default natively as well, but that broke a bunch of stuff, instead.

I do use that stuff on my own devices though :)

Very possibly. It doesn’t even necessarily have to be always, like there are medications that cause sensitivity to light as a side effect.

There isn’t really much to be done about it, unfortunately, other than learning to recognize what triggers it and doing your best to avoid or reduce exposure to those environments. But even that can make a huge difference. I try not to drive at night for the same reasons you do.

Maybe pay attention to the actual light levels from the window and see if brighter days are more headache inducing. In office buildings it could also be from fluorescent lights, those are horrible, especially if you can see the flicker.
