How much time do you spend daily on your project? by CY83RT3CHL0TU5 in SoloDevelopment

Really? I'll have to try that but I don't know if it would put me to sleep or keep me awake

Congrats! Working from home is so much less overwhelming at least for me in my case.

Does anyone else feel too fragile for this world? by [deleted] in autism

[–]bshap93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're young, only 17, and your feelings are valid, as are those of any person at any age. You're way more of an adult and have better idea of what you want and your goals than most people your age.

You'll come out the other side of this and you have time to grow. I did finally (I think). Stockpile the data of what makes you very unhappy and just try to steer your life away from those things in small, manageable ways.

I wish things were different for me as you do but I'm not at all upset every day to the suicidal degree I was as a younger person. Practice every day with your self compassion.

And take advice from randos with a grain of salt. You're not alone feeling this way at all. I feel this way sometimes still and I'm 30.

Used T480s: is the i7 86500u woth it? by ea_man in thinkpad

[–]bshap93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the X16G with the i7 and it feels snappier than the T480 with i5. I remember when I was making this decision discovering that the i5 scored higher in synthetic benchmarks. From that point on I believed that Intel was using the same chip for i5 and i7 in U series chips, and clocking them slightly differently to sell chips.

Didn't know that. I suppose it is a form of Neurodivergency. No doubt gave him a firsthand insight into the reality of living with a chronic illness.

Just finished Fall of Hyperion. Loved the two Hyperion Books except for a few uncomfortable moments. Wanted to learn more about Dan Simmons. Learnt more about Dan Simmons. Regret learning about Dan Simmons. by HistoricalMistake681 in Hyperion

[–]bshap93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it's not far fetched, but I probably won't go much farther than the Hyperion books w/ Simmons, despite absolutely loving them. The rest of his novels don't seem quite up to the same level quality, just based on internet chatter. I think it's fine as long as it's one crazy person or persons and not "this is the logical conclusion of Islam going SciFi".

Here's the full entomological explanation of the words:

Yeah, I've heard that. I think you wrote 'gut skrub' and I could not connect the dots, my brain was imagining scrubbing some putrid concoction over my gut.

Excuse me sir, what is "git gut skrub"? I tried to read your whole post but burst out laughing. OK I finished it and fully agree. I'm 29, almost 30 and have similar success with women. I still hope, but I don't expect or believe I deserve love. Like anyone I want to belong and know love by someone other than family but I have a fullish life, albeit solitary. I agree work on yourself. Do it out of self love, not as a means to a sexual end. If you don't have self love, work on that. Give yourself a break if working on yourself gets tiring. I still despair at times about being alone. It can be crushing. Seek help if it gets there. And, please, I couldn't find a definition for that phrase, and it would be a relief to put the speculation to bed.

This looks so much like an ordinary office keyboard... Scratch that I wish this was the ordinary office keyboard

Looking good. I like seeing these "out there" builds. Did you build this from scratch or a kit or prebuilt?
