I’m sure I have seen it before, but I can’t think of a single game that lets you pause during a cutscene. It really sucks for turn-based games where you need to watch whats happening when it’s not your turn in order to respond correctly.
I remember a game I used to play years ago that had no ability to pause, so what i would do is alt+tab to the task manager and suspend the process, and then resume it later. Obviously that’s way more clunky than just hitting a pause button.
I think one of the biggest things that they don’t really teach you is that most jobs end up having only a small percentage of your time spent doing the unique element of that job.
It’s import because a lot of people get scared away from careers that they think involve a lot of math, which they think they don’t like. In reality, even in math heavy professions, math is only a small part of what they do, and the parts they do are so routine that they aren’t hard.
Anyone replying “stretching” is basing their response on grade school gym class, not science.
Studies have not shown that stretching has a positive impact on injury prevention, and this has been widely known in the literature for over 20 years. Stretching can improve performance in some sports like gymnastics where increased flexibility is needed, but that is unrelated to injury.
Stretching has a negative effect on performance in other cases because it actually decreases muscle force generation.
Think about it, would you think that loosening all the belts on a machine would automatically make it less likely to break down?
So what does prevent injury?
If you like the style of running shoes, but for just walking, and you want something wide, I’d go for altra LP alpine. I mainly like altra cause they don’t squeeze my feet like hokas (and practically every other brand) do.
Lone peak is altra’s top selling trail running/hiking shoe, but they made a hemp/suede casual version that should be pretty durable.
Altra also has the a version of the Torin (a road running shoe) for casual wear that’s all leather, so it’s probably pretty durable, but it’s a little narrower, and i don’t like the styling as much.
Ive never been a “running shoe for casual wear”-person, though, so i haven’t worn either of those.
For slightly nicer looking (or cold weather) casual wear, I have Jim Green boots. They are very comfortable and basically the only boot company that actually makes something that doesn’t squeeze your toes. If you don’t like what they have, look for other boots/shoes made with stitchdown construction. Most nicer boots/shoes use a Goodyear (or similar) welt, which wraps the upper under your foot, making it more narrow. Stitchdown has the upper flip outwards at the midsole, making it wider.
For more casual wear, I have Bedrock clogs. Also super durable/resolable and nice and wide. It doesn’t have any foam underfoot, which i like, but isnt for everyone.
For whatever reason, wikipedia seems to have been really pushed down the page on search engines specifically for medical information. It’s a shame because I can acquire the surface level of information (which is all i really ever need) way faster from wikipedia than the other sites that come to the top of the list (mayo clinic, John’s Hopkins, Cleveland clinic, govt sites).
I really shouldn’t complain about it too much, cause they could be pushing pseudoscience blogs.
Just found uBlacklist.
Now to find something for whitelist searches (basically I only ever want recipes or medical information from a small list of sites).
Edit: duckduckgo has the capability built in, too
BinaryEye (for scanning qr codes)
Do you have a recommendation for generating QR codes? I basically want to be able to make qr codes that link to notes so I can see what’s in boxes without having to pull them out of hard to reach spots. I see a couple options on fdroid (QRshare and ShareAsQR), but I’m sure there are desktop applications, too.
Yeah, definitely. I would argue that “nutritious” should mean “can I live off of this?”. From that context, you need high calorie, balanced macros, and no glaringly missing micronutrients.
I wonder if anyone’s made the soup version of completefoods.co (which is like a DIY soylent-making site).
Depends on your definition of nutrition. 100 g of kale only has 28 calories, so if your definition of nutrition is “can I live off of this?” the answer is no. If it’s more of a “is this good for me?”, the answer would be yes.
You just need to temper the egg. Scramble in a separate bowl, and slowly drizzle in hot broth until you’ve added like 5x the volume of the egg yolks while whisking. After that, you can just pour into the pot. It’s how you do it for ice cream and other custards, too.
Everyone who joins the military ends up with like 6 sets they don’t need, and they end up donating them. Usually you find stuff used, but there’s a decent amount of stuff that ends up sitting on storeroom shelves for a decade before being sold to the civilian population.
Here’s a decent place to buy in the US.

And here’s a spot in the EU.
If you are looking for cargo pants as work pants, military surplus is a good way to go. The US military (and i assume this trickles down to other countries) spends a lot of money developing uniform fabrics that are abrasion resistant, puncture resistant, etc. They also have reinforced knees. I’m sure there is a range of quality depending on what manufacturer produced what lot, but they all have to meet good standards, and all US uniforms will be made in the US.
Great comment, and I’ll add that police, by the nature of their jobs, have to deal with a lot of things that people would (and should) find traumatic: grisly accidents, homicides, overdoses, etc. Obviously, EMTs have to deal with that kind of thing, too, but at least they usually have a partner they can talk to. Despite TV always doing the buddy cop thing, cops usually work alone.
Everyone knows it’s a problem, but the main solution has been absolutely shoveling money at grifters like Dave Grossman to give seminars and write books on “killology” (wish I was making that up). The guy’s highest level of schooling is a masters in education in counseling, but he disguises that to try to make you think he’s a proper psychologist or psychiatrist. Once you know his hypotheses, which are pulled out of thin air and unsupported by data, you see them absolutely everywhere steeped into the culture of cops and military in the US.
It’s like a corollary to the saying “there can be no ethical consumption under capitalism”.
No matter who you work for (even if you are self employed), some evil will result. I’m not going to sit on a high tower judging someone working in an Amazon warehouse just because that’s the way they are able to keep food on their table.
Like you said, it’s best to judge those who working on concentrated evil. If someone’s working on the AGM-114R-9X Hellfire Sword Missile, they really should be asking themselves if they are the baddies.
Unfortunately, our society does a really good job of minimizing the quantity of evil people needed to do evil aims. According to the US national park service, 500,000 people worked on the Manhattan project. It’s probably a fraction of a percent of those people who even had a clue they were working on a weapon. It’s probably a fraction of a percent of those people who actually knew what caliber of a weapon they were working on, and many of those people probably assumed such a destructive weapon would never need to be used (also what Gatling and Nobel told themselves).
Newegg really went full Amazon in a bad way. Microcenter is also still good as far as I can tell.
I never understood audible. You pay $15 a month to be able to listen to 1 book per month?
Shout out to librivox, if you haven’t heard of it. It’s audiobooks recorded by volunteers reading public domain books. Obviously hit or miss on the quality of the reader, but it’s free, so you can’t complain.
Also, obviously, the humble local library and libby. (P.s., if you can get a few cards to different library systems, it’s really easy to get books).
Ah, I wonder if it was new enough to not be dead simple, but not new enough to not have any documentation or spare parts?
I didn’t even know what a zipper foot is, but it turns out I have one, lol. That shows what I know.
What was your hand-me-down? I’m working with a 1950s machine, and it seems to work great for me, but i have to admit I haven’t used a machine built in the past 20 years, so idk what I’m missing.
Yeah, I’m probably what you’d call a patient gamer. Usually not playing anything more recent than 5 years old, and often way older.
