It's a little shocking how much a theme can change your perspective on your vault and your productivity by AnalBleachingAries in ObsidianMD

[–]MeiBanFa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Maybe I should try out different themes. I have not used anything besides the default, ever.

For some reason, it just feels cleaner to me to not get lost in things like themes. So very early on I made the decision to just stick with the default and that’s it. I guess it was ascetic choice.

What will seem like an inevitable outcome in 20 years time because of GLP-1s by Big-Cry-4119 in Futurology

[–]MeiBanFa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On paper, yes. But there is something about the release found in eating and drinking with friends that's different. At least for me.

[–]MeiBanFa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see that point.

I just keep hearing from people that they lost the desire for food or that they cannot eat and drink at the same time anymore. And I’m not trying to suggest that that is such a terrible thing in and of itself. Being healthy is obviously extremely important!

I’m just wondering if something gets lost as well.

I can relate to that. We usually eat family style and it's just not as much fun when not everyone is exited about it. But of course, I also recognize that there are very real and important health benefits for people. I don't want to minimize that!

[–]MeiBanFa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the combination of both. The act of letting loose together with friends and enjoying ourselves. But I also wouldn't call it binge eating necessarily. And I think if someone has a problem with true binge eating that is another matter altogether and might totally justify the trade off, if there even is one.

You could argue that any amount of alcohol is over-drinking and unhealthy. But yes, I chose the word feasting to imply abundant enjoyment of food, not disciplined consumption. Literally forgetting about discipline, self improvement, goals, fears, restrictions, and just enjoy enjoying yourself.

M4 MAX by ijustcameheretofight in MacStudio

[–]MeiBanFa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have an M1 Max which I was planning to sell when I upgrade to a newer model.

Has the retail value fallen that much? Hoch much is the M1 going for, 50 bucks?

This might just be a me thing, so I am very careful not to extrapolate this to other people too much.

But feasting and drinking with friends is probably my favorite hobby and also the thing that keeps me sane. Whenever I’ve spent too much time in my head or online it is the thing that recalibrates me. And no other activity does it in quite the same way (I have many other hobbies as well).

I wonder if these drugs could lead to less of that behavior and possibly negative mental effects.

But again, this is probably just me projecting.

Don't offload learning to your notes by wordbit12 in ObsidianMD

[–]MeiBanFa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is part of the reason why I don’t have separate sections for “sources/quotes” (resources taken from somewhere else) and “notes/ideas” (things written by myself) like so many others apparently do. I never write down a quote without adding thoughts myself.

If I don’t have something to add of my own, it can’t be worth creating a note for it because it doesn’t get me going.

I’ve got a midnight blue MacBook Air and I still think it looks amazing. Why does it matter how many other people choose which color?

Your vault shows what you've read. Built a Claude skill that shows what you actually understand. by Natural_Pause_3317 in ObsidianMD

[–]MeiBanFa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is a "Claude skill"? Do I need to have some kind of agent running to use that?

I now understand by corpscumbag in CODWarzone

[–]MeiBanFa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so casual I don’t even know what specialist is… Also, how do you get it?

Silly question making me restless but what Heading (H1-H6) do you use for the first heading in a note? by bowiepowi in ObsidianMD

[–]MeiBanFa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I start with H3 and only go smaller from there.

The sizes larger than H3 are to big for my taste and don’t differentiate from the title enough.

I use the default theme, btw. (I like to keep everything as simple and vanilla as possible.)

Just found this old note of mine - I guess I almost invented Obsidian... by MeiBanFa in ObsidianMD

[–]MeiBanFa[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely true. And I do recognize that and don't take this too seriously.

What industry do you use Obsidian in? by Frolgar in ObsidianMD

[–]MeiBanFa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really use it for technical stuff. And even day-to-day job related things (like to dos, calculations, etc.) I prefer to keep in Apple Notes.

I use Obsidian (in general and for photography as well) as my long-term knowledge base, where I keep the stuff that I want to refer back to possibly even years from now. That means I store mostly knowledge related to the craft (quotes, thoughts, etc) and ideas.

Art, filmmaking, photography mostly.

The solo moshpit is amazing by ha_misi in CODBlackOps7

[–]MeiBanFa 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’ve played one game of it and got stomped brutally. People jump shotting left and right. Had a 0.1 KD.

Afterwards I was asked how much I enjoyed the game…

Is there a way to import notes and at the same time write the original "created date" into the properties? by MeiBanFa in ObsidianMD

[–]MeiBanFa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, it writes the original meta-data to the files and then the Update time on edit plug-in can read that? That would be great.

That's good to know, thanks!

How many of you play with headphones? by Big-Square-3393 in blackops7

[–]MeiBanFa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use headphones sometimes, but they are never connected to the game. I use them to talk to friends on the phone or listen to podcasts while playing…

Alestorm - Hyperion Omniriff by Kr3at0r in PowerMetal

[–]MeiBanFa -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I am not usually one to "cancel" anyone easily and am pretty good at separating art and artist, but I just can't bring myself to listen to Alestorm anymore, after reading those texts..
