  • I got to try haptic headphones recently. Gimmicky but made me smile when the bass kicked in and I could feel it through the haptic feedback. It seemed louder without making the rest muddy and without making me yell WHAT? after a couple songs.

    Not audiophile quality, it was immersive at least. I want to try them with a movie.


  • The best advice I got related to this is that “it’s not a competition.”

    I kept putting off taking care of my health because I wasn’t as burnt out/sick/tired/as much pain as someone else. So if they were still moving forward I should be too, right?

    No. I didn’t need to wait until my chest cold was pneumonia because the chemo was worse for my friend. Or my limp wasn’t as bad as their constant pain. Or I wasn’t as bone-tired as them, I’ll just chug some caffeine.

    If you are breaking down, you are breaking down.

    We don’t expect a wooden bridge to hold under the same daily stresses as the Golden Gate. We fix them both as they meed repair. We don’t wait until the Golden Gate needs repair to fix all the other ones.



  • I watched a guest on The Bulwark say it’s a single cell parasite and almost impossible to wash off anything that’s not smooth. It really hides in the nooks and crannies.

    So it’d be impossible to really clean something like a raspberry. You might could carefully remove and dispose of the outer leaves of a head of iceburg lettuce and be safe.

    And that if it’s in a water supply that’s coating the crops we are really in for a shitshow.
