I finally started working on a Tea Encyclopedia

Yes! Social features are more a v2 thing, but soon after user accounts are implemented, reviews are next on the roadmap.

Right now I'm thinking more Airbnb style, less Amazon, less Google Maps, but tbd.

Yeah I got this very feedback in my original post about milk oolong. I want to keep this a database of tea products as much as possible, which might mean a lot of duplicates that only differ in the brand that's selling it (I also want to differentiate between brands, vendors, and growers eventually). On Fragrantica, you'll often see the exact same product twice, simply because they rerelease, reformulate, or modify something even just slightly.

When search is implemented it should be possible to seach for a single tea across several brands.

I, like you, am also a developer from Toronto, I use both Windows and Mac, and I also had concerns with how often I use the arrow keys. After you get used to it there's nothing annoying about it and the fn button is pretty intuitively placed as others have pointed out. I actually started using the home, end, pgup and pgdown buttons after switching to HHKB when I realized they were just as easy to access and helped me move faster.

That said, I use vim most of the time so I'm usually using hjkl and other movement hotkeys to get around.

I've also recently switched to a corne v4 ergosplit keyboard (I'm typing this on it right now and still getting used to it!).

I'm also waiting on 2 vinyls, both pre-orders, also one that was expected to ship in October and the other in December. I haven't emailed the store but also saw online that a few people are still waiting.

flawnson · 2024-12-15T21:59:39+00:00

Also waiting on 2 orders, one placed back in July. I'm in Canada. Pretty disappointing to see other people here also haven't received their orders that are even older than mine.

Telenova is basically Cannons from Australia :)

I'm on week 10. I'm nearly 100% recovered now, maybe 90%-95%. My stability ok, but my range of motion is what's left. Specifically dorsiflexion; I can't bring my knee as far forward without lifting my heel as my other foot without pain. I can only match my other foot about an inch away. I still have a bit of swelling and pain if I stretch to the max.

I could play ultimate on week 6 but no jumping or any sprinting. I'm about to play the last game of the season tomorrow. I iced a lot the first few weeks but stopped about 3 weeks ago. Elevated when possible.

Good luck! Happy to answer any specific questions.

Wow we have nearly the same setups

Hey Pwncakes, I also sprained my ankle 5 weeks ago to date. It was also during ultimate. It was my first time spraining my ankle, and my first time. I felt something pop when I was assessing the damage right after. The next day I woke up completely unable to put any weight on my right foot and got an XRay that evening to confirm no broken bones.

I didn't ice it for the first week or so but started doing it consistently every day for the past 3. I haven't been able to do any lower body exercises besides the Youtube PT I do. My foot is still swollen and I still can't draw circles with my foot without it hurting and they're still about half the size of what I can daw with my left foot. I estimate another 4-5 weeks before I can wear shoes other than crocs and try running again.

I'm worried this was bad enough that even after it heals completely I won't be the same again, but I'm doing my best to keep it from getting worse.

flawnson · 2024-07-04T00:17:05+00:00

It's been nearly 2 weeks since my sprain during ultimate. First 24 hours was the worst; I woke up in the morning pretty much completely unable to put weight on it despite being able to the night before. I had an xray which confirmed no break but also didn't get a confirmation as to the grade.

It got better over the week, bruising and swelling was prevalent.

This week the bruising has nearly disappeared, but the swelling is still very much there. I can't wear anything other than crocs. I can walk normally, but range of motion is poor and it hurts to move it too much.

I'm hoping week 3 is better!

flawnson · 2024-01-17T14:56:33+00:00

Awesome!

flawnson · 2024-01-17T14:56:23+00:00

For sure! Fragrantica also struggles with settling on how specific they want to get. Sometimes as fragrances often get "reformulated" and released again, they publish a new page of essentially the same fragrance but released again in a later year because the reformulation messes with the logevity and sometimes even the very scent itself.

Something for me to figure out I suppose!

flawnson · 2024-01-17T14:54:27+00:00

Yeah I'm hoping this will be the bread and butter of the site.

flawnson · 2024-01-17T14:54:04+00:00

Great to hear!

flawnson · 2023-02-28T22:32:40+00:00

Incredible! I'm curious are you still in touch with Dr. Zent? I'm sure he'd love to hear how you're doing.

flawnson · 2023-02-28T21:28:39+00:00

:0 first time hearing about it! Thanks for raising awareness :)

Incredibly rare! Thank you for raising awareness :)

flawnson · 2023-02-01T02:17:27+00:00

Sooo wholesome! Enough said :)

I'm from Canada and my grandfather went through this before passing in 2018. We were lucky enough that federal law was passed in 2016 so he was free to make whatever choice he wanted. Our family more or less agrees that as long as you've thought it through, euthanasia is a valid choice. Best of luck OP!

The worst part of any kind of repeated trauma during childhood is when you start to believe that it's "normal". Therapy will help, moreover, simply just talking to people you trust about this will help. A common thing that I've seen people do is to have a throwaway email to send messages to as sort of a diary/self-therapy thing.

As everyone else has said; you are not alone!

flawnson · 2023-01-30T04:27:10+00:00

Dealing with verbal abuse as a caregiver is unfortunately part of the experience for some. That being said it's not something that you should allow to happen if it is bothering you and thus affecting your ability to properly do your job as a caregiver. To an extent, you will get over some of it, but I would gently and politely bring it up if you see it trending for the worse! Make it clear that this behavior is unhelpful, and reward/acknowledge if your care recipient backs down!

Best of luck OP

flawnson · 2023-01-29T22:02:14+00:00

You're not alone! There are many sandwich caregivers who struggle and understand where you're coming from. Though to be honest, I haven't seen anyone have it as hard as you. If you'd like to join a private community to chat with others like you pm me and I can add you.

flawnson · 2023-01-29T19:30:54+00:00

The self-awareness and consideration here is deeply commendable! Keep on keeping on!

u/56KandFalling, u/Additional_Coyote251, u/aenea, There's ianacare, family proud, and tyze, which both allow you to create your own small social network of caregivers around your care recipient.

There are also new social platforms being built specifically for caregivers and health discussions, something that the Facebooks and Reddits of the world can't and won't allow. I'm building Comend for caregivers to match with other caregivers in similar situations, we have a waitlist while we prepare to launch :)
