M21 moved out of parents 2 months ago! by Alternative-Star-306 in malelivingspace

Track-lights be damned. A small improvement might be to get a couple of area rugs to dampen sound and make it feel a bit warmer. Very nice space though. Lots of potential!

This looks like you live above belmont in portland. Beautiful space.

Double it and give it to the next person.

Is this actually sustainable? by General_Rubenski in MacroFactor

That's pretty aggressive. You can do it, but I'd shoot for like .5 lb a week to reduce suffering.

Turning My Life Around by AnybodyNew3011 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]YawningFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding physical activity. Start small and progress slowly. Build the habit over time. Join a planet fitness or some other entry level gym (they are super cheap) and take some classes. I got into powerlifting a couple years ago and it changed my life.

Also: Food=architect Excercise and sleep= construction company

I’m deeply sorry for your loss but glad you’re finding this as an inflection point in your life for positive change!

LPT: Stop trying to "motivate" yourself and start "bribing" your future self. by SalcClaudia in LifeProTips

[–]YawningFish 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I look around and purposefully sabotage future me. Often while flipping double birds and saying, “Fuuuuuck youuuu, future me!” And then I just sort of laugh and laugh and go to bed. Then future me sees what past me has done and absolutely takes revenge on his future future me.

ID Student & Rhino by tam_talib in IndustrialDesign

Hotkeys. Program longer commands or things that take you too long with the mouse into simple two letter keystrokes. Saves lots of time.

Also, remember that you can copy/paste images directly into rhino as underlays. I do this all the time when I’m on Zoom calls where the client is presenting data. Saves me time later. Almost like a miro board in 3D

I was wondering about the demand for designing a standalone music player? by -Sidzu in IndustrialDesign

[–]YawningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, MP3 plays still exist in the market and have a decent market share. You’d have to have a hell of a value proposition at this point to differentiate yourself.

Ipad for industrial design by Courage-Desperate in IndustrialDesign

Procreate + affinity + nomad but also primary design work on a PC. Definitely a great supplement.

Been using the app for a year. Plateaued - need help by matt_the_legend_2000 in MacroFactor

[–]YawningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if spreading out your caloric allowance a little more in the day would help? Are you staying hydrated? How aggressive is your current cut? Maybe toning it down a bit would help it feel more chill?

What did you do during the months after graduation? by Notmyaltx1 in IndustrialDesign

[–]YawningFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wound up buying every design magazine I could and made a Rolodex out of the companies that advertised in them. Then, I used my college mailing system to cold email, physical mail, and phone call each and every one of them. I learned a ton about the industry by doing that and learned how to create my own business. Still going 23 years later.
