You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Cookout at a park? Reserve a space that has a roof and grill, and everyone else can bring sides?

No. I have doubts that it actually happens except in extremely rare instances. I wonder if some women blame a lack of attraction on height because saying other things gets an ever worse reaction?

I disagree with the person you’re replying to - romantic partners and friends have a lot in common but they are not the same thing. And just because you were romantically interested in someone doesn’t mean you owe them friendship. These things are difficult and if you don’t want to keep being a friend for whatever reason that’s fine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinusitis - see the illustration from that article.

I’ve never found a diagram that gives a great idea of how the sinuses work, but between the various sinuses in your head there’s a surprising amount of space. So all that space for holding mucus + constantly making more = a surprisingly large amount of mucus.

Also, since mucus is gross I think we overestimate the actual volume because even a few mLs seems like a lot. If you started blowing your nose into a measuring cup it would take longer than you think to fill it up. Please conduct this experiment and report back with pictures.

I take my canoe out on a lake that’s 8 minutes from my house. Relaxing, and the exercise is a side effect.

I’m also delusional enough to think I can box so I hit the punching bag for 40 minutes some days. It’s a joke but makes me feel badass.

This happens to me every once in a while, not sure why. Resizing the split screen so one side is 3/4 of the screen then putting it back to 50/50 often fixes it.

You and me both, I didn’t get it at all.

I feel like all file-like UIs suck. I hate Windows Explorer, Mac Finder, Nautilus Google Drive, OneDrive (yes I’m talking about both local and native file UIs but I dislike them all). Are there any that you consider good? Because I’d like to try it.

I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened.

Not exactly obsolete, but there’s no reason for anyone to memorize that many digits of Pi except for trivia. Number of times it has come up in trivia: 0.

This post is a little too vague to give real advice. You don’t tell us what industry you’re in. You don’t tell us if the engineers are the end users of the software or processes you’re working on, or if they will implement the software or processes you’re working on.

If they’re the end users, they might be concerned that the changes you’re designing are going to make their jobs harder. A lot of changes in the past couple decades aimed at “efficiency” have involved making people take on more work for no additional pay, then firing the administrative staff or other engineers who used to do that work. Even if that isn’t the sort of project you’re working on they are reasonably wary based on past experience. Or maybe it’s not clear to you how this will make their life harder but management will find a way.

If the engineers are writing the software that you are helping design, how are you helping to make their jobs easier and more fulfilling? It’s an unfortunate fact that software engineers are sometimes treated like misbehaving vending machines that will produce software if you force them to. If they are writing the code, there’s a very good chance that they know more about this process than anyone else in the room, but are they treated like they know more than anyone else in the room? Is their expertise valued or are they treated like roadblocks when they give their expert opinions?

Mastodon, Lemmy, and Bluesky all provide RSS feeds for some of their pages, so you can sort of do this with just an RSS aggregator. It wouldn’t do everything you asked for but it would be a start. I follow some Mastodon users and some Bluesky users’ RSS feeds, unsure if you could also get a RSS feed of a Bluesky feed.

I use Miniflux: https://miniflux.app/. It’s web based so you can access it on any device. It’s open source so you could run your own instance, but they also have a paid version which is just $15/year. It works great and the price is super cheap so that’s what I use.

“We don’t care when or how you work, just get your work done and be available for calls when needed.”

Easier said than done but there are a few positions where this sort of thing is possible.

When I got banned I tried to create a new account several times and used up several clever usernames which were immediately banned. So I gave up on having a Reddit account. Several months later I decided to try again, this time with a username that was just a random string of digits and using a brand-new browser. I think I was on a cellular connection instead of my home internet when I created the new account. For whatever reason it worked that time. Maybe the fingerprinting isn’t as effective if you haven’t logged into Reddit for several months?

I assume this was a grift — they “found” some bodies and declared them Arthur and Guinevere, and suddenly the site became a pilgrimage destination and lots of money started flowing in from the pilgrims.
