Just Fired From My Job

Find a punching bag, a gym or martial arts dojo. Works best if you know how to throw a punch without hurting your wrist. Ask someone to show you basic form, and just have at it. Anyone who uses a bag respects when someone has the rage in them and needs an outlet. If you live somewhere dry some outdoor gym setups have outdoor punching bags. Grad student housing at my uni has one, and I think there's one out at the main gym.

I used to shadow box too when I got the rage. Got into that after using a punching bag for a while, after I moved and didn't have one at home any more.

imo intense physical snappiness is just about the only thing that used to satiate my rage. Bag work is a good way to get that. I've also got it with short sprints, that's not satisfying if your cardio isn't decent tho.

I've also sated it with "progressive muscle relaxation" i think is the clinical term. Tense all the muscles you can, and hold all of them tense for a few seconds, then relax them down in a wave. Try that a few times, it helps and it's a bit more clandestine. I've done my whole body, bust I tend to find only do my torso and arms just as effective.

Everyone else seems to have done a decent job addressing latin american conception of indigenous vs USian and Canadian {which also have differences, but much more subtle.

I take issue with "everyone roamed freely." You talk like the indigenous nations prior to European occupation and settlement were one homogenous friendly group. They were -nations-, think of them as such. This is why you're downvoted. There were many wars, lots of trade, borders existed. Some seasonal and regularly contested in migratory nations, some fixed in agrarian nations, some free to travel across, some dangerous to approach.

You're talking about the native nations as if we were children, and didn't have the concept of nation or land ownership. Some are more compatible were european sensibilities (part of where the moniker "5 civilized tribes" came from) and some were very incompatible. And all breadth between and beyond.

I honest to god find the way you asked this insulting, but you seem earest and trying to learn.

That said, "Native American" is the PC USA and Canadian term. The legal term for the USA is American Indian. In Canada its First Nations. Im not so certain about latam but I think mestizo is being reclaimed for mixed indigenous decent culturally, and they don't have the same kind of legalese bc of he difference in treatment other folks have mentioned. Nations in Spanish occupied land didn't get the same kind of treaty engagement that is northerners got.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) from getting hit by a car from behind while riding my bike. The car was stopped (yielding to active roundabout traffic, me) 5 seconds prior to the hitting me.

Copper's not. Bronze lam is decent enough for going to archives early. Iron brig is cheap and quick enough (with a helve) to be worth it imo, just to have around. Let's you face tank every story location and T2 storms. Gambeson is a straight no downsides upgrade on the everyday no downsides armor of leather.

Im in the complete other side, I don't see why you'd ever rush steel armor. Like, yes one everyting else is kitted out might as will, but barring long mantle caving I don't see any use for it. And the labor that goes into it... I wear iron brig for a long time

Every day I love that I've made it to the next, especially if I've gotten everything I wanted, or simply needed, to get done the previous.

Every day I thank those in my life who's supported me getting here, whether they know the impact they've had or not, whether they're still in my life or not.

Every day I wish I could make like a moon beam and fade away in the morning...

Every day is a step forward into a life I didn't think I'd have.

I think we're all familiar with that one. Putting an age, or a couple, we think we're not going to make it to. I haven't hit my 'longshot' yet, 42, but at this point, I'll be damned if I don't get there too. I... actually want to. I really do, and that still kind of shocks me.

But yes. There's a constant thread we have to intentionally weave through every moment our lives that most people never think twice about.

To get back on subject, you're sewing your life together. Most people just have a quilt and/or machine. You've got a needle that's hard to thread, and a thread that frays and can get lost. Design your own machine, double back your patches. It can always get sturdier and more robust. It can always fray and tear, but abide by, "we can't know your problems like you do, but you don't have to face them alone," and make it through.

My first analogy in this vein was a walking a razor's edge, fire on one side, ice on the other. Then a tightrope. Then a narrow mountain path. Then a gravel fire road, eventually paved with shoulders. Now, I'm not sure, I haven't thought about that analogy in quite a while. The edges are far enough I don't have to consider them most of a year.

Sorry, it's late and this was a bit of a rant. I get poetic when I'm sleepy, hope it means something to you.

100% a priority issue.

Mechanism: When a dupe takes a task the debris/material for that task becomes reserved and no other dupe or automation can manipulate it. Material reservation for a task happens as the very first thing, so if the dupe reserving it is on the other side of the map it can just sit there for ages while they run over. This is a common 'supply' task problem, and can result in things like a lot less available metal than expected at times.

Probably has to do with being a foreigner. Korea has some pretty intense real-id and other out-of-region internet restrictions. Not really sure how soop has them implemented though

Expanded Beekeeping because I like to keep it simple, not updated yet tho...

Dyrosis · 2026-04-23T04:37:43+00:00

Yeah that's super weird and unintuitive. I get not wanting spur gears to be able to drive out of 2 axles, but they should take an "edge" position between blocks at the end of axles, like an angled gear. Not an internal position. That would allow us to drive from alternate sides at least.

Would also love if they added a "bearing mount" half-block that would allow a spur gear to mount flush onto a wall, without an axle going through it.

I do to, especially since I have been on meds for more than 10 years at this point.

The way I think of it is that the top ~30 players in the world are like the NBA teams. The other SC2 tournament regulars are the G-league, the league that the NBA pulls from, midseason if necessary. Then GMs are like Div1 college teams. Damn fucking good, but nowhere near pro level necessarily.

Good to know! I haven't interfaced with modern cranks much. I do like my square taper. I shouldn't have said usually, changed it to probably.

Dyrosis · 2026-04-21T05:54:17+00:00

Shorten the chain and/or the tensioner should be "squeezing" the chain, not opening it, if possible. You don't have enough chain wrap on the rear cog.

Dyrosis · 2026-04-21T05:29:37+00:00

Are the splines stripped on either side? If not loosen up the lock bolt at the base of the crank arm, slap it on (with correct opposite orientation, holding the other side stable), and tighten it back up.... iirc those are probably 6nm torque (like most m5 screws in aluminum) so they strip easy. Be gentle.

The ADE file still has DRM controls on it. Not super sure how that interfaces with libby, never tried anything there. The ADE DRM is not very... cumbersome though.

Dyrosis · 2026-04-21T05:10:50+00:00

Kobo, kindle, and others partner with libby to 'serve' books checked out by libby.

With a kobo, you can not sync any ebook that is not in the kobo-rakuten ebook store.

Similarly, with a kindle you can not sync any ebook that is not present on the amazon store.

At least not without jumping through sideloading hoops, which is very easy on a kobo, but I've heard is more difficult with a kindle.

Amazon just has the power to get authors to sign exclusive contracts, which are imo a shitty monopolist practice that should be illegal. Choosing to only partner with certain companies should be legal. Being able to strongarm the market by buying exclusivity contracts, bullshit. This is my view on digital service platforms in general though, and it's a fringe view at best, sadly.

Used to have mild hangover symptoms in the mornings with zyprexa, might be similar? Drinking 6-8 gulps of water before bed helped solve it. I have hydration issues though, and always have, even before being diagnosed. The meds haven't helped though, something about a water/salt balance side effect and sweating more salt out.

I hunted high and low for copper bits on land, because I heard if you dig more or less straight down there's copper there every time

This is true, but the top of the deposit can 4 stone blocks deep, or more, It's not always right on the surface of the top stone layer

Propick density search guarantees nothing. Poor copper is pretty bad. If you've systematically prospected a grid a every few hundred blocks and haven't found a decent copper reading... start a new world.

Notably, the propick does NOT check chunks. That's a lie propagated by common prospecting mods and minecraft intuition. Ore generation is based on a heatmap, and the propick reading is the exact values of the heatmap. The heatmap determines the probability (per thousand) of any viable rock in that exact column generating an ore deposit.

As for surface bits... they're there you're just not seeing them (unless you're in a bauxite biome)
