Cross-instance linking is a mess. You linked to an ad for your mobile app, which links to a kbin instance, which links back to lemmy.world… The app page devotes most of its space to download links while kbin demands the viewer log in before it will show them anything.

Technology Connections are great, but this doesn’t feel very connected.

The only real impacts it has had are making me pay more attention to how I feel and more intentional about how I eat. I’m not going back for seconds just because they are there since I consciously decided that my initial portion was a good amount. I’m also not going a day without eating since it didn’t cross my mind because I can see that little line slowly go down and it reminds me that food is good.

Modern tech is amazing. The management of T1D has been reduced to a glance at my phone every once in a while and a couple keystrokes when I eat something.

I was talking to someone recently who was diagnosed as a little kid and the stuff that they went through sounded awful. Their adult management of it is no better than mine is for having gone through that.

Sounds similar to the months before my T1 diagnosis at 27. More and more thirsty, less and less hungry. Water would fly through me too, making me suddenly have to pee not long after drinking.

Amazon is doing some markup, but there’s also been a bunch of price increases. 5gal BIBs are over $100 now.

It’s still pretty cheap when you consider that that BIB produces 35 gallons of soda.

That series has a good progression too. It starts limited by light speed, then gets FTL communication, and finally FTL travel.

There is a lovely Skyrim Tarot deck. A bit outside your range there, but I saw it lower elsewhere.

My earliest remembered favorite is The Little Red Car by Bernice Orawski. Cute little kids book with lovely illustrations about a car having the worst day of its life.

I’m a bit over halfway through the series right now, burning through them at a book every week or two.

The series suffers from sprawl. There are 3-4 ‘a-plots’ at any one time, which can be a bit frustrating. I’m loving them though.

One of my earliest favorites too.

I’ve got a weird one. Saints Row 4, near the end. Such a strange, unexpectedly emotional experience.

A split combo of the two is pretty common.

Receiver

So good. The slight differences between weapons means that the muscle memory you’ve built up ends up tripping you on the next run.

My first thought too.

It’s sort of like the dual pronunciation of the word ‘a’ in English. While that has more distinct rules, it’s still mostly which one feels nicer.

Don’t use a mist humidifier. They suck. Use an evaporative one and add bacteriostat to the water.

Mine is a tub of water with a wick in it. It has a fan that blows air across the wick. That’s it.

Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus - Incredible cast, strange film. Very enjoyable.

Mario AI

One of the things Notch (of Minecraft fame) was known for before MC was a Mario remake that infinitely generated levels and had API hooks for quantifying progress. This was used in AI competitions.

Similarly, one of the old Trackmania games has been modified to output position and track info around the player along with fitness measures, allowing someone to train AIs.

Your description of Taco Time captures it perfectly. It should be their slogan.

TACO TIME

Not Mexican Food

They are very high on my list of things I miss from Washington.

Adding to this, some of the AIRCARE humidifiers are just a plastic tub, a wick that sits in it, and a lid with a fan. You’d have to break the tub to leak water.
