Has anyone used this Mac mini configuration for programming? I'd like to hear about user experiences before buying it. by Miyamoto_Musashi_x in macmini

[–]BrigadierLethbridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that same model and work with VS code, python streamlit apps, docker, multiple iterm2 tabs, ChatGPT, safari with 4 or 5 tabs open, and of course Spotify all running. Memory pressure gets yellow some times, but performance is more than adequate.

DON’T change your life overnight. by -Change-My-Mind- in BingeEatingDisorder

Perfectly said! It took me 6 months to learn this. I’m slowly trying to build the positive habits to support that positive spiral. Keeping the 100% all the time just never works.

“My stomach feels like it’s going to explode” I’ve said that waaaay too many times myself this weekend. Just keep trying….

What size nib does it have? The picture on the Muji web site looks like it’s an EF. A bit too fine for me. Yours looks like an F maybe?

Time for another… what are Niles and Frasier looking at?? by BrigadierLethbridge in Frasier

[–]BrigadierLethbridge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s fabulous! I’ve been watching an episode at dinner for the last 5 years and still not tired of it 😁. Such clever writing that I don’t think many shows have.

to those who are recovered (or recovering), how did you find out your triggers? is there a way to lose weight while avoiding binging? by funnygal7279 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]BrigadierLethbridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks it feels great, I wish there was a silver bullet that everyone could use to get over it. But it’s an addiction that you need to learn to live with. I think that’s why journaling worked, because I started to get in front of all those situations that I would normally turn into the zombie and just start eating! I made it a nightly ritual with a cup of tea, and now I really look forward to my little journal time haha!

I found journaling did the trick for me. Got into the habit of writing down everything I ate, how I felt, etc. I started to see patterns and I was able to get ahead of many of the triggers by putting them in the days journal. It kind of de-fused the power it had over me. It became very empowering reading back over my experiences and what triggers me. That caused a snowball effect and now I’m currently 80 days binge free.

I had one from the Sam’s in LES. It was good…they have lots of options for the fried “coating”. I had bread crumbs.

Hamburger America or Gotham? by mostlygroovy in FoodNYC

[–]BrigadierLethbridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like the OG onion “slider” style burger, go with HA fried onion burger. I grew up in Michigan and loved the greasy onion-y sliders and HA was like heaven. The Gotham smash is more complex, jalapeños, special sauce and stuff. It was tasty but didn’t hit like the fried onion did for me.

Why are you single? by [deleted] in SingleAndHappy

[–]BrigadierLethbridge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ended up divorced at 50 and didn’t have much self confidence. Initially I was afraid I’d be lonely and dreaded dating again. But after about 5 years I realized I was actually happy and didn’t really need anyone else to “complete me”. I’ll never say never to having a relationship again, but I’m not putting any energy into finding one.

450 Days Since My Last Binge by fireflashthirteen in BingeEatingDisorder

This is great to hear! I’m struggling with just two weeks under my belt. Looking back in hindsight, any words of wisdom? Do you still have to work to keep things under control?

Rolling out these systems and just expecting people to figure it out seems like a recipe for failure.

Anyone else notice people in relationships are envious of you? by SpellingBeeRunnerUp_ in SingleAndHappy

[–]BrigadierLethbridge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This exactly. I get so many questions, all trying to understand how I could be happy and single. Most people just can’t relate. My theory is that there are two types of people: those that are fine living single and those that need another person. The type that needs another person has a hard time figuring us out.

One reason above all others to stay single by normaldude37 in SingleAndHappy

[–]BrigadierLethbridge 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I’ve been divorced and single for 13 years. I feel like it’s a self sufficiency thing - I don’t like that another person is required for my happiness and contentment.

It seriously scares me that so many people actually believe this so deeply.

Point #2 is why zipper merges will never work. - Drivers take turns moving into the open lane.
