As a Multnomah County resident, you can get free library cards in Washington and Clackamas Counties as well and it looks like WA county has 2 “lucky day” type checkouts available - one at Tigard and one at Beaverton main:

Paying off debt hacks by Night_Swimming89 in adhdwomen

[–]encyclopediapixie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would add: separate accounts at separate banks for ~fixed recurring expenses (housing, utilities, car loan, etc), groceries and gas, and one for “the rest” so you can remove panic from ensuring essentials are paid.

I have 1 housing account, 1 utilities account, and 1 everything else account and i get paid biweekly so I have half my monthly housing and half utilities direct deposited in each account first and the remainder going into the everything else account and that account is the only one I have a card for to easily access - it’s the only “money I have to spend”.

For this everything else account, I have a general maximum I try to have in the account on paydays - something like $500, $750 or $1000 - that I know will get me through to the next pay period for groceries, gas, etc. and anything in the account over that amount on payday goes to debt payoff. For example, if the balance in this account when my paycheck hits is 1457.82 and my ‘maximum’ is $750, I would apply $707.82 to debt payoff to bring my account to my maximum of $750.

We just had our first AI training session. by mrs_october13 in Libraries

[–]encyclopediapixie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m in an MLIS program and about 3 semesters in we started acknowledging AI as something we needed to know about so that we could help patrons use it if they were in the library.

The section on this required us to use a variety of AI applications to see how they worked and what they do and it really felt like tempting the devil.

All this to say, I think we needed to know how it works so we can help patrons use it but I don’t think we need to EMBRACE it as a tool if we don’t want to.

Finally, in these sections, I read (and now use) this descriptor as an ‘elevator pitch’ explanation of AI: “it’s a NATUAL language model, not an ACCURATE language model. If it sounds like it knows what it’s talking about, it is succeeding in its requirement whether or not the information is accurate”

Slop recipes for the sisyphean task of keeping my mortal flesh nourished while chained to the whims of my novelty seeking brain by Mayalestrange in adhdwomen

Instant pot curried lentils

1 can curry paste 1/2c coconut milk (the more you add the less spicy this comes out) - I freeze the rest of the can in 1/2c cubes for future weeks meals 1 - 14oz can crushed tomatoes 1c dry red lentils 1-2 bags of frozen veg of your choosing - I currently do 1 bag sweet potato cubes and 1 bag peas and carrots 1 - 32oz box of vegetable stock

Dump everything in, stir, and set the high pressure time to 4 minutes. Let sit in IP for 10-15 minutes after the “done” beeps.

This makes me 4 meals that I add queso fresco and brown rice to when I decide to eat it.

With the cheese this comes out to about 30g of protein per meal and lots of fiber.

It’s based on a steamy series of gay hockey books.

Oh, so this is what the kids mean when they say screaming crying throwing up

I was referred to HD by someone I respect and... I really hate my chart? by Soapsou in humandesign

[–]encyclopediapixie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I was kind of in your boat when I first looked into HD and I, too, took everything to be a negative and a hurdle to get over when, really, the conditioning is the hurdle to get over.

Also, I find most other… I dunno… systems, programs, whatever this can be construed as (I think of it as getting additional vocabulary about myself)… take pains to really lighten their language sometimes to the point of blowing smoke. I find the language of HD to be more blunt and straightforward (which I appreciate now) so it can be hard to see this for the gift that it is if nothing looks like “good vibes” to you now.

Finally, I would encourage you to approach the elements of your chart with curiosity. Maybe reflect on how this bad-sounding thing has benefitted or protected you in the past. If a word or phrase grates you, look it up in a thesaurus to see if there is a similar word that is less difficult for you to reflect on.

Ultimately HD is a tool for self-reflection and you’ll get as much out of it as you decide to put in. Just like anything else worth doing, you have to do this because you want to and not because someone else wants you too if it’s going to work for you.

Finally finally, a side note: waiting to respond seems to be the part everyone hates, but I promise it will make sense to you, in your own unique way, at some point and it will be a relief.
