Yep. ThermoWorks is the brand I have.

Haha, sorry, just a reference to this scene: https://youtu.be/QkEBvqaXXHc?t=26s

They are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

Genshin Impact does make my phone toasty.

Good choice? They keep bait and switching their own features, and their QC is garbage. Take Elon out of the equation and I still won’t buy their early access version of a car. I’m tired of companies treating end consumers as their play testers.

Yeah, this would be great to have. Always good to have options.

I’m so done with them. Primary all of them.

Eh you’re right, they would monetize the shit out of it and make it pay to win like everything else.

I wonder if there is a fragment of a good idea in there. Maybe a dating app that like queues up men and doesn’t let the next one out of the queue until the active person gets matched to someone.

Though that sounds pretty slow and not enough dopamine in using the app to keep people on it.

Maybe not a single man, but some small amount so it is known that you can’t just screen for the 1% of dream guys. Like if you only get 5 swipes, maybe you won’t be as ready to dismiss everyone immediately.

Whatever, I’m sure there are teams of psychologists working for all those companies that have all this crap dialed in for max profit and engagement.

Compartmentalization is an important skill. Apparently Einstein was a terrible husband. One can be smart in an area and stupid in many other areas, for life is a complex amalgam of microscopic acts in a macroscopic universe.

That’s just self sabotage talking. Knowing about a problem is step one and it’s what gets you in the door.

Just because you know you’ve got a broken pipe doesn’t mean you don’t need a plumber, just because you know your car is broken doesn’t mean you don’t need a mechanic, etc. There’s nothing wrong with someone helping you being a job. That doesn’t mean they won’t do that job.

The main point of therapy is to get you to look at your circumstances in different ways and provide you with coping skills you may not necessarily have developed. You may even be unaware of whatever current maladaptive coping mechanisms you’ve built up over years of just trying to survive. This is where outside professional perspective comes in handy.

However! That’s not to say therapy is a bulletproof process or that all therapists are good or that every therapist is a good fit for every person. I would liken it to finding your preferred barber or massage therapist or something. Sometimes you just got to try options till something works.

I imagine things move slowly on global scales. Next quarter will probably be really bad.

2024 election was second highest turnout in 20 years wasn’t it?

Fascinating!

I think it’s the time dilation and spaghetti. And they can be damn difficult to spot. Or it may just be pure irrationality.

Black holes fill me with a sense of doom.

Yeah I believe tape is still king there. LTO is working on some 500+ TB tape for the future IIRC.

Notepad++ is good.

I’m curious as to your thought process. Why does you working in retail mean it’s bullshit?

I dunno, boobs are more pleasant to look at than other crap I see on vehicles.
