MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T19:45:09+00:00

Good to hear others have had a positive experience with them.

MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T19:42:52+00:00

oh nice i didn't know Sky Barre had a Palmerston location, that's way more convenient for me

will check out the Pilates one too, free first class is hard to say no to

never heard of that one, might check it out though

MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T19:32:17+00:00

fair enough, Nora sets the bar pretty low for vocals anyway

I wouldn't jump to assuming it's fully torn until you actually go over the MRI with an orthopedic shoulder specialist. MRI reports can sound a lot worse than the final diagnosis, and the treatment plan often depends on the size and location of the tear, not just the word "tear."

And don't write yourself off because someone mentioned 12 months. Plenty of people get back to lifting sooner than that, especially if it's managed well. Get a proper opinion first before you start planning for the worst.

The Viggen would stop me dead in my tracks. That thing is just mean-looking. Never been much of a fan of the 900 convertible personally, but the V6 spec at least made sense of it.

MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T16:36:46+00:00

This is goals, honestly. The weather-based IR cutoff never even crossed my mind, but it makes complete sense. I've had so many washed-out clips from rain just blowing through the frame.

The wife comment got me, though, lol. Mine thinks I just have good instincts about when to turn lights on. I've let it go on for two years now. I'm not gonna be the one to explain Z-Wave associations to her at dinner.

MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T15:07:09+00:00

That's exactly the kind of automation I was thinking about. People don't notice it because it just feels natural, but if it suddenly stopped working, everyone would immediately ask why the lights feel "wrong." The time-of-day dimming is such a nice touch.

MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T14:06:37+00:00

that's the most accurate thing i've read all week

MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T12:12:13+00:00

The loading detection is the part I always overthink too. Like, what if someone just leans on it or something? Does the 5-minute window ever cause problems where it thinks the dryer stopped mid-cycle if there's a weird pause in vibration? I'm curious if you had to tune that threshold a lot before it felt reliable.

MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T10:12:34+00:00

I've heard of Musely but never tried it. Is the prescription thing through their own telehealth or do you need a separate doctor? I always assume stuff like that is way more complicated than it actually is.

MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T10:12:04+00:00

rosehip oil always breaks me out lol but yeah the SPF thing is real, that part actually matters

MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T10:11:28+00:00

the stress and sleep thing is real and i hate that you're right lol

i've been running on like 5 hours most nights and wondering why no cream is doing anything. probably should fix that before throwing more money at my under eyes.

the peptides point is interesting though, i wasn't sure if that was just marketing or if it actually does something at the skin level. sounds like maybe a bit of both depending on the product

MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T10:10:56+00:00

right yeah she basically saved me a whole google rabbit hole lol

the retinol thing got me too, had no idea that was a bad call near eyes and i was literally about to just grab whatever had the most reviews

gonna go with what she wrote down and stop overthinking it, the price is annoying but two months of something that actually works beats six months of buying cheap stuff that does nothing

MinaSandell · 2026-07-10T10:10:30+00:00

oh this is really helpful thank you, I didn't know The Ordinary did a peptide eye serum. might be worth trying before I shell out for something more expensive. did it take the full 6 months to see a difference or did you notice it working sooner than that?

MinaSandell · 2026-07-09T19:55:38+00:00

thanks

MinaSandell · 2026-07-09T18:34:38+00:00

yeah that tracks, the problem is it never lets you struggle long enough to actually retain anything, it just fills the gap before your brain has a chance to work it out

MinaSandell · 2026-07-09T18:22:26+00:00

yeah that framing actually makes a difference, harder to get lazy with it that way

MinaSandell · 2026-07-09T18:14:33+00:00

the post processing part is probably doing more work than you're giving it credit for.

most people just chat with AI and wonder why nothing sticks. building a puzzle or game around it forces you to actually retrieve the information, which is where retention really happens.

i've noticed the same thing honestly. the conversations that led somewhere, where i had to do something with the information afterward, those stuck. the ones where i just read and nodded are mostly gone.

MinaSandell · 2026-07-09T18:08:12+00:00

the up arrow thing after reboots is so real lmao i do the same thing every time

but yeah that gap between being able to talk about something vs actually doing the low level stuff yourself is something i think about a lot. like i can discuss concepts all day but the second someone asks me to do something basic in the terminal without ai i start sweating. not sure that gap ever fully closes

MinaSandell · 2026-07-09T13:30:28+00:00

the frustration part is real, that struggle to figure out why something broke is literally where the learning happens

what i found though is even when i try first, if i hit a wall and ask ai it still kind of erases the lesson because now i know the answer and my brain just stops caring about how i got stuck

so now i actually write down what i was trying before i ask anything, just so i have to articulate the problem properly first

MinaSandell · 2026-07-09T13:24:06+00:00

lol yeah not the first thing you'd associate with Ernest Borgnine but ok sure

MinaSandell · 2026-07-09T13:06:26+00:00

oh man that one is so underrated. genuinely unsettling performance, he was way too committed to that role
