I’ve had good results managing it by planning my week very loosely: I write down 1-3 things I plan to do each day (including work, exercise, cleaning, leisure, seeing friends, appointments) and it’s just enough structure to keep me moving without being stifling.
My favorite thing about this meme is that whenever it gets posted we get to hear these stories. I’m glad it got better for you!
My company built a big lab with expensive equipment and then laid off the person who was an expert in using all of it.
Reminded me of Annihilation (the books go weird places)
If they’re consistently looking down and to the right (for most apps) and not scanning/reading, they’re probably looking at their own video. I’ve certainly noticed it.
Yep. Everybody does. Watch where their eyes are pointing, you can tell. I hide the window on apps that let me (or un-maximize the window and slide it off the screen a bit if I’m on one side).
It’s such a great game! The unlocks are paced really well, it always feels like you’re accomplishing something.
They wouldn’t be so popular if kids didn’t like them.
Thanks for posting this! I didn’t know about it and was just about to buy The Lost Cause.
Wheat has a lot of fructans, which ferment weird in lots of people’s digestive systems. I suspect a lot of people with a ‘gluten’ sensitivity actually have FODMAPs sensitivity, but either way if not eating wheat makes them feel better then great, they know their bodies better than I do. (I have to avoid a bunch of foods for these reasons, but fortunately wheat doesn’t seem to bother me. Beans, oats, grapes, and artificial sweeteners all give me horrible diarrhea and/or constipation though, even in small amounts.)
It’s not awesome to ask someone out when they’re working, but it’s not harassment unless it’s repeated.
The first time I joined a gym, they gave me a free orientation where one of the staff asked me what I was planning to do and showed me how to use the gym’s equipment to do that stuff. Results come from consistency, and consistency comes from goals, and even a short conversation can help set good goals that are achievable and that can support consistent behavior.
Lingo was amazing! My husband and I played through it together; he’s better at 3d navigation so he navigated, and I’m better at word games, and we had a blast. We should try some of the custom maps!
What do you mean? It’s still the owners’ decision whether to sell.
Maybe the owners care more about running a sustainable company that makes good games than they do about getting a bunch of money.
It’s a tough role to cast, since the books never describe what Murderbot looks like at all, beyond “has a face” and “has short hair but no body hair” and “some organic parts on arms but not on legs”. And Murderbot can pass as human if someone doesn’t know what SecUnits look like. No indication of height, build, complexion, features, nothing. So anyone they cast is going to look wrong to a bunch of readers because their mental pictures can vary so widely.
Mine is somewhere between Gwendolyn Christie and Robocop. But I like Alexander Skarsgard and I’ll definitely watch this. He has a good “I am 100% done with everyone’s nonsense” expression, which is vital.
Me too, but the stupid humans keep doing stupid stuff.
The article said 3 times that Murderbot is an android; Murderbot is not an android, it’s a cyborg or construct (with both organic and inorganic parts). Geez.
Or Wheel of Time, where people started being able to do magic at the end of the 1st age because an AI figured out how to genetically engineer humans to be able to do magic. (And then we didn’t need computers any more!)
From the video it looks like the plastic rings are casings and the wheels are inside them, and the wheels poke out at the bottom. Seems dumb to me.
You can kind of see it here but it looks like they’re intentionally hiding a good view of it with angles/lighting:
