I’ve had tinnitus for probably close to 15 years at this point. I definitely tune it out most of the time. For a little while I was wearing ear plugs to bed, and the ringing was actually somewhat calming, kinda like my own personal noise machine. It can certainly flare up (gets louder and kinda painful) from time to time though, and the trick with covering your ears and thumping the back of your head helps when that happens, at least for me.

Just keep in mind, you can totally still live a normal life with tinnitus. There are services that can edit music for you to remove the exact frequency of your tinnitus from the audio, so that when you listen to it your body fills in the missing pieces and helps you ignore it. I haven’t used them though, so I can’t attest to their efficacy.

This is missing a few things. It also needs to be toothpaste and a laxative.

I went to the midnight release for Portal 2. My GameStop had more people there for Mortal Kombat though. And by more I mean I was the only one there for Portal 2 and all 7 other guys were there for MK.

Hell yeah. I wasn’t expecting a third game, and this is a more than welcome surprise.

FreeCAD. I have a 3D printer and it’s nice to make my own models for things. I learned a bit of Blender, but have found that’s a lot better for me just to edit existing STLs I find online. For making things from scratch FreeCAD gives me better tooling to make changes and iterate design, while also being a lot more easy to stay precise with measurements.

I had 5 finch babies on my porch last month. I set up a camera to watch them. They were a few days away from their maiden flights when a cat jumped up and got to them all at like midnight one night. The video is kinda traumatizing. My wife refuses to watch it, for good reason…

In a world where everyone’s shoving AI down our throats, a President who makes things up on the fly and says untrue shit just fits in too well.

Thanks for this. That site’s dope.

Which trick is this? Haven’t heard of that.

The server is the black box on top of the rack. In the rack it’s networking and UPSs for both the server and my computer on the desk.

Get some Nair. Just rub it on all the places with hair, avoid the tip. Wait 10 minutes, then rub the hair off with a wash cloth in the shower. Way smoother of a shave than I’ve ever gotten with a razor, and soooo much easier and more comfortable to do.
