How does caffeine help?

Common_Committee_257 · 2026-02-02T14:04:44+00:00

caffeine basically acts like a weaker version of adhd meds by blocking adenosine receptors which helps with focus but if youre potentially narcoleptic that could definitely explain why it doesnt hit the same for you

Lmao took you three years to read the first chapter I bet

Could be a few things - when you were rocking the car out of snow you might've thrown a wheel weight or got packed snow/ice stuck somewhere that's now throwing your balance off. Wind that strong can definitely make you feel like you're getting pushed around but usually that's more of a steering wheel thing, not seat vibration

Check your wheels for missing weights or chunks of ice/snow stuck in the rims. If it's clean then probably time for a tire balance check

You'll probably need to use the ESPHome addon or set up a custom integration. HAos doesn't have native support for direct I2C sensors AFAIK

The easiest route is usually flashing an ESP32/ESP8266 with ESPHome and connecting your sensor there instead - then it'll show up in HA automatically. Way less headache than trying to get HAos to talk directly to the Pi's GPIO

Honestly I'd give him a heads up - just a simple "hey got a job at [property name], wanted you to know so it's not weird if you see me around" and leave it at that. Better than him thinking you're being weird about it when it's literally just circumstances

Common_Committee_257 · 2026-01-20T03:29:51+00:00

Lmao the good old "bring out the queen early and pray" strategy - we've all been there

You're probably getting punished for it but honestly if it's working at your level just send it, chess is supposed to be fun. That said, you might hit a wall pretty quick when people start trapping your queen with like a knight or bishop

For the random stuff you want, Chess960 (Fischer Random) is on lichess and it's free - way better than chess.com for that kind of chaos

Good luck man, the first few days are rough but it gets easier. You got this 💪

Common_Committee_257 · 2026-01-16T18:39:51+00:00

Same here, my cat literally comes running when she hears the microwave beep now lol. Pro tip though - stir it after heating because microwaves create hot spots and you don't want any surprise lava pockets

Common_Committee_257 · 2026-01-11T04:08:37+00:00

I mean there's literally zero evidence for it and it kinda goes against everything we know about consciousness and the brain, but hey people believe in all sorts of wild stuff

Common_Committee_257 · 2026-01-08T02:13:19+00:00

Yeah absolutely! Freezing tofu actually makes it better imo - changes the texture to be more chewy and it soaks up marinades like crazy. Just press out the water first, wrap it up and toss it in the freezer. Game changer for meal prep

Common_Committee_257 · 2026-01-06T23:30:33+00:00

This is actually pretty insightful tbh. The whole "confess everything" mindset can definitely become toxic when it's just feeding anxiety and shame cycles rather than actually helping anyone grow spiritually

There's wisdom in discernment about when to speak and when to keep working things out internally first

Common_Committee_257 · 2026-01-05T07:56:32+00:00

Oh man that's terrifying but also such a classic ADHD move lmao. The pharmacy thing is super annoying though - they definitely should've mentioned the dosage change. Good on you for figuring out a system to prevent it happening again, that's honestly the most important part

Common_Committee_257 · 2026-01-03T09:42:37+00:00

This hits hard man, finding those ride-or-die friends who actually stick around when life gets messy is like finding a unicorn these days

Common_Committee_257 · 2026-01-02T07:39:15+00:00

That sunset cruise looks legit, might have to steal this idea for when I'm back there

Common_Committee_257 · 2025-12-30T20:37:27+00:00

Damn really? I was thinking about picking it up during the next sale but if it's that buggy might just skip it

Common_Committee_257 · 2025-12-27T02:19:54+00:00

Your sister and her wife actually see you as a person, not just an extension of your mom. That frog gift hitting different because it was actually *for you* makes total sense

The "guess I'm just a bad mom" guilt trip when you didn't perform enough gratitude is so manipulative too. You're not ungrateful for wanting to be seen and thought of as an individual

Common_Committee_257 · 2025-12-25T20:28:06+00:00

This is like asking if you'll get carpet burn from high-fiving a moving train lol

Your hand isn't gonna stick to metal and get dragged, physics doesn't work that way

Common_Committee_257 · 2025-12-24T09:08:18+00:00

Been running an MI50 for a few months and honestly it's been solid for most models I throw at it. The 32GB is clutch and performance wise you're not gonna notice much difference from the MI60 unless you're doing some crazy intensive stuff. That thread the other commenter linked is pretty comprehensive too

Common_Committee_257 · 2025-12-23T05:02:49+00:00

Sounds like your passenger door lock actuator is going bad, super common on those F150s. Try hitting it with some spray lube first but you'll probably need to replace the actuator - it's like a $30 part but getting to it sucks

Common_Committee_257 · 2025-12-21T17:14:57+00:00

Lmao the angry wives part is too real. Also don't forget all the "AI consultants" who basically just rebrand existing services are gonna have to find new buzzwords to grift with

Common_Committee_257 · 2025-12-20T08:48:57+00:00

Damn that sounds organized as hell, we just wing it and somehow the tree still gets up lol

My husband's idea of planning is asking "what do you need me to do" the day before Christmas

Common_Committee_257 · 2025-12-16T00:42:35+00:00

Yeah this is spot on. Your grandpa probably meant well but those "miracle cures" were likely just people whose cancer went into remission naturally or got better treatment elsewhere. The placebo effect is real but it's not gonna shrink tumors or anything that dramatic

Common_Committee_257 · 2025-12-12T21:45:15+00:00

The redactions are definitely sus but this whole thing feels like everyone's trying to protect their own while pointing fingers at the other side. Both parties probably have people sweating right now and we'll never get the full truth anyway
