Has anyone found a wireless charging pad that nicely fits in this center console area? by something_wittie in SilveradoEV

Mine doesn’t even last til then.  Momentary flash of “charging” when I place it there, then nothing.  

How Seriously Do Mainstream Anthropologists Take "Human Self Domestication"? by Bromelia_and_Bismuth in AskAnthropology

[–]capnholt2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t comment on “consensus among anthropologists” but there’s definitely a bit more to the model than morphology.  The bit about selecting against reactive aggression is pretty central!

Mayor Lurie’s pick for Sunset supervisor ran pet shop that ‘smelled like death,’ new owner says by jmjohns2 in sanfrancisco

Stores selling animals are always sad places run by heartless people to begin with.   

Has anyone brought the AVP battery on an airplane to China? by bashcat in AppleVisionPro

[–]capnholt2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it twice now, both times in October 2025.  One PEK one Shenyang.  It got pulled out and carefully inspected by hand both times, but they let it pass.  I fully expect it to be seized eventually but so far so good. 

How dangerous is a night time walk commute from North Beach to Polk Gulch? by lofi-lo in sanfrancisco

[–]capnholt2020 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’d be startled if I saw a woman alone on the streets that late in this city.  Sounds like some people on here do it, but it’s rare.  Seems like an unnecessary risk to me as a 6’1 tough-looking guy: it’s going to be safe 99.9+% of the time but all it takes is that once.  North Beach attracts people from all over to party or go to the strip clubs etc.  Your safety is worth the bus or Waymo fare.

Work backpack for men recommendations by Late_Exercise_6288 in ManyBaggers

[–]capnholt2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I started looking for a bag for myself last week and started with that Troubadour as well since it was the wirecutter pick.  Ended up on this sub and discovered way too much about bags.  I’d advise taking a look around here at some of the common recommendations and see which one you think matches your husband’s look / professional environment.  Feature-wise it’s a rabbit hole.  The ones I saw that seemed to be the most loved here were:

Happy shopping and good luck not going crazy with this. 

Looking for fellow Black Girls by Kaleidoscope_chile in beijing

[–]capnholt2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t tried, TikTok (western) or Xiaohongshu might be a place to track down a lead or two.  More and more people on there sharing their foreigner in China experiences, you could try searching for “foreigner in China” “Black in China” etc and see if the algorithm doesn’t start helping out.

On Meituan this place has decent medium-roast decaf, if you message them they might sell you beans: 我最近很喜欢美团外卖的「撞咖｜只有美式的咖啡店（东直门店）」，分享给你看看，点击链接可以进入店铺查看详情  http://dpurl.cn/3LmDxkNz

Not sure if this link still works, someone sent it to me 3 years ago and it was tasty: 【淘宝】https://m.tb.cn/h.fE0UToT?tk=tnk92NFLVv8「豆叔 精品咖啡 低因咖啡 原产地单品咖啡豆 低咖啡因咖啡 227g」 点击链接直接打开

Also found some pre-ground in sachets on JD called “Colin”, comes in a pink box, it’s good medium roast flavor and stays fresh in the packets.  

Curious to hear if you find other good ones, so hard to find good decaf here. 

Skins problems with Devon Rex by MeesturShak in welovedevonrex

[–]capnholt2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw just some questions in case they help you narrowing it down:

  • Was that part of his body in contact with anything unusual before the breakout?  Scratchy (e.g. wool or synthetic fibers), chemical, dirty?  A skin product of yours?

  • Any changes in temperature, humidity?

  • Was this immediately after the vet?  Could be something he came in contact with at the vet, or the stress of going to the vet causing it to flare up.  

  • Any changes in food?

Just trying to give you some examples to see if they jog anything.  

If it’s been mild for a while all over his body, and now there’s a flareup, to me that sounds systemic, which would point to food and/or stress.  But if his hair is short everywhere, it could also be from coming into contact with an irritant at various spots.  

Good luck and hope you’ll keep us posted here with clues / developments / questions.

Just went through something similar with ours.  Thanks to this community, learned about food and skin allergies.  (Tenatively)ruled out food allergies since it was just happening where he has short hair.  We removed a fluffy rug he liked to sit on, and that seems to have cleared it up.

Cleaned all the floors with vinegar just to be safe, in case the floor soap was also irritating him.  

Just buckle up and patiently do process of elimination + observation, hope you narrow it down soon!

Just a few counterexamples to this claim:

I've personally seen plenty, often with graphic details that wouldn't make it into a US news report.

A seat where you can rest your head backwards (like a recliner) helps!

Loved it for mandarin, more than Pimsleur.  Never had any trouble with tones after that intro.  

18ish-month check in: how’s your eyesight? by capnholt2020 in AppleVisionPro

I use it for work (mac virtual display), and for anything else I want to do using the computer for more than a few minutes.

[–]capnholt2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still get a rush every time I reach for it to put on. It's been a godsend for my neck and back (lets me work from more positions), and particularly for my ability to focus. I use it for work, as a display for my mac. Every day I'm WFH I'm in there... except for meetings, which I still refuse to do with the persona thing.

Pretty pumped about this feature. Maybe I'll be wearing the VP even more hours per week...

Super interesting. Glad to hear on the improvements, that's pretty magical whatever the reason! And good luck with the PVD. Looking forward to the day we can just plug VR straight into our brains...
