I use the AR tool for sun positions every time I’m finding a tent spot or to watch a sunrise/set, and the bubble level is perfect for finding a tent spot that isn’t tilted 2 degrees towards your head so you wake up with a headache.

From my therapist: In the absence of a crystal ball the best predictor of someone’s future behavior is their past behavior.
It really depends on what I’m doing to elicit the comment - I’m often doing silly things, getting enthusiastic about stuff, exploring my environment and other things vaguely “childish” and so would consider cute to be a compliment.
Coming with no context it’s neutral, way better than being called sexy but generally my appearance doesnt need comment.
If I’m upset, or being professional, or an authority than being called cute is 100% and insult.
I pull my card out to tap, though it’s just habit from pre-tap and I probably wouldn’t need to. I leave NFC off on my phone or it tends to keep detecting my cc and chime.
Friends girlfriend lent me her hiking shoes when I picked him up to go hiking having forgotten mine.
Payment was down at a hardware store and the manager just let me walk out with the $7 of screws I needed to finish my project that day
My EDC is
A pixel phone with a case on it, in the case I tuck my driver’s licence and one credit card. I have a wallet app on the phone for all other cards I might need.
Keychain is a carabiner and short piece of webbing holding 2 house keys, car fob, mini knife and mini flashlight.
The keys clip onto bra strap and go inside my shirt and phone tucks into bra. Definitely not a fella :P
One that bugs me a lot that I noticed just in the last 5 years or so is over pronouncing the T in words like celebrity and community - yes it’s spelled with a T but it’s not fully voiced like you’re saying the word Tea. I noticed it first on YouTube and now in some audiobooks and even the occasional coworker.
“outlaws” also being a verb makes this title difficult to understand
I just finished reading “The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt on how hard it is for parents to police kids self-destructive phone use and tech companies aren’t willing to do anything to help because it’s so profitable to advertise to them and sell their data, this feels like another step down that road.
I work for a company that specializes in ergonomic work setups and the OTs recommend Ergocentric chairs at least 90% of the time.
They’re expensive, but if you are having health issues due to sitting then your employer has a “duty to accommodate” to get you a better setup.
We also often recommend sit-stand desks because too comfy of a chair can just cause different problems from lack of movement.
I get these often and I wouldn’t define them as third person but more “non-person”. To me first person dreams are where I’m watching it through my eyes and Thurs person would be watching myself as I do things (like third person video games). Not even being in the dream, just a mind movie as you called it, seems like another level removed.
I wonder how much the amount of movies and video games around these days has changed this - whether dreams in the past would have only been first person because that’s the only thing people had experienced.
Way back around 2000 there was a creator who did this and called them unfortunate animals, she liked to make like a 3 eyes teddy bear with a crocodile tail and 9 arms. I think she also combined stuffed animal chimeras and taxidermy.
It depends whether I can somehow go back to the body of a 20 year old but keep my current 40 year old brain. I’m not going to pretend the majority of my improvements in patience, empathy, humility, work ethic and dgaf-ness are me consciously maturing instead of improvements in brain chemistry.
ASL has very different structure to spoken/written English, so not everybody who signs is going to comprehend English grammar as fluently/easily or the nuance of all the words that don’t have a sign equivalent.
Additionally ASL communicated who is talking and the tone of their words, even when the speaker is off screen, which just can’t be captured by captioning. Closed captioning has just caught on to using slightly different colors to indicate the speaker, so you know who’s talking offscreen. I’ve only seen this in British panel shows so far but it’s helpful.
If you are in Canada or the US I can’t recommend the Libby app highly enough - books, audiobooks and magazines borrowed to your devices from your local Library. Looking at the last 5 years of borrowing it has saved me (pirating probably) thousands of dollars of audiobooks, and having an endless supply of audiobooks with zero cost really encourages reading.
Unfortunately only chrome has full support for Dragon professional, and Edge can be made to work. The dragon extension for Firefox stopped working and Microsoft, who now own dragon, doesn’t have any incentive to fix it.
The unofficial supper via the ClickbyVoice extension doesn’t have a Firefox version.
I would love to hear alternatives that support link numbering and voice commands :)
If sunrise and sunset is your thing then the website suncalc.net works great to find what places will have the best views for different times of year.
I go watch the sunset as part of my solstice and equinox adventures so finding new places with nice views is fun.
