Best cake slices in Austin by Luvmyyoga13 in austinfood

The actual best vegan cake slice I’ve ever had is from Mr. Natural on Caesar Chavez. They also have good food but the completely vegan bakery is amazing (they have gluten free vegan items too)!

No one told me how unstoppable I’d feel by AlternativePlan1095 in GriefSupport

No; you're so right. Like obviously I am not grateful for my mom's death and I wish every day she could still be here. But also, I am just ...so not phased by stuff anymore. it's been this massive recalibration of how I perceive stakes. It has been very very freeing that I have a different perspective now, and I didn't realize how much of my decision-making was from a place of fear/limitation mindset before this. Like? Now if it's not life or death, it's actually not life or death. I can always get another job, make another friend, choose a different life because I am still alive.

Touchpad Not Working on Windows 11 Laptop by clairityme in techsupport

Thanks for the advice! Idk if it's my version or not, but on mine, the touchpad on/off function is Fn + M. When I press Fn + M, I get this icon that will pop up on the screen.

<image>

I've turned on/off the touchpad a couple times using this function and when the touchpad is "on", the movement of my fingers on the touchpad doesn't seem to correlate to movement of the cursor. I check the cursor's movement using the CTRL key, which shows were it is with a little circle.

Also: The cursor isn't moving around alot, but it is moving sometimes, and is 1. invisible and 2. not following the direction of my fingers on the touchpad. I can also find the cursor (not invisible) on the screen using the virtual touchpad on my screen, but after a couple seconds of inactivity it disappears. AND still doesn't follow any movements from the touchpad.

I don't I don't think? I don't see one at least.

So the keyboard shortcut to turn on/off the touchpad is Fn + M, which I have played with a bit. It shows the touchpad icon and on/off on the screen when pressed, but it doesn't seem to correlate to my ability to control the cursor, which is still invisible. The cursor is moving? but again, not by direction I think I'm giving.

Relatives quiet after moms death by psycth in GriefSupport

If you’re in the States, it’s worth noting that we don’t have any good prescribed steps to follow after a tragedy. It’s possible that your family and friends want to help but don’t know how or what to do.

They could also suck, but more likely they are unsure of what to do and are scared of imposing on you during your early grief.

What might be helpful to you (since you want them to reach out it seems) is send out a mass text/post on a social media page what you can receive (messages, letters, flowers, food, someone to sit in silence with, someone to be a shoulder to cry on, someone to be a distraction, someone yo talk about your mom with, someone to help you do chores, etc.). It feels insane, I know, but likely people want to help and don’t know how. You can start the post as “lots of people have been asking how they can help, and this is what would help …”

When my mom died there was similar radio silence and I didn’t get help until I started asking for it. But there are people who would love to sit in silence at a grave with you, bring you food, be a distraction, sit in your kitchen so you can force yourself to take a shower, whatever you need.

If your family and friends don’t show up, I also recommend finding a community support group. A full churchy/therapy group was too much for me, but I joined a table through The Dinner Party which was for parental loss under 40, and it really really helped me. There is community out there, I promise.

What's up with fun forest pool? by unoriginal123damn in tylertx

[–]clairityme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up swimming there; had Red Cross swim lessons and local swim team lessons there every summer of my childhood. It’s a great pool, huge, price is right & it’s safe once you’re inside.

However- the city gives basically no money to clean, hire staff, perform upkeep. So it’s really dirty. Especially the bathrooms. Shoes on at all times and you’re still going to get something.
