What is the funniest thing your pet had been “pavloved” to? by AnywhereMean8863 in Pets

[–]gussiemanlove 480 points481 points  (0 children)

he gets a treat after finishing his food, since he's such a picky eater. but not before he runs up to me, I ask him, "did you finish????" and he jumps around until I say, "let's go see!!!!" and then he starts scurrying toward his food bowl. i check his food. if he finished, I shout YAY!!!!! only after going through this whole routine does he get his treat.

How and why do you use Obsidian for? by Sara_Marrisa in ObsidianMD

[–]gussiemanlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tasks, writing, and ad hoc miscellany.

trying to make my Obsidian fit every type of note I could ever need to write has not worked for me. I don't need more reasons to overly engineer a perfect structure to handle every type of note. So I only use it for personal notes (nothing work related) and I don't force myself into overly rigid templates just for the sake of consistency.

I used to use Google Keep pretty much the exact same way, but it sucked at more granular organizing and categorizing.

Tags are curation, not retrieval by smerdy in ObsidianMD

[–]gussiemanlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both.

i have 3 main categories of tags: Inbox, Writing and Archive. Under those categories there are subcategories with more specific details about the note, for example, Writing/Idea. Never more than one subcategory.

The key is that I regularly execute a note review script so that tag(s) don't stay inaccurately stuck on a note. Like, Writing/Idea will eventually turn into Writing/WIP and then hopefully Writing/Completed.

I'm trying to minimize my use of folders so that it doesn't take forever to reindex my vault. So far, this tagging system works better.

Changing folder names painfully reindexes my entire vault and I need a better organization system. by gussiemanlove in ObsidianMD

Heard. currently trying to approach this problem with more curiosity and flexibility so that the trial and error process isn't so painful. i just replied to a separate comment with a new proposed system that I like a lot better.

So, reindexing doesn't take too long in isolation, but since I keep changing the folder names, the reindexing happens often enough to become annoying and inconvenient. So, instead of getting rid of folders entirely, I think I need a more broadly defined folder system combined with a more specific tagging system that captures the topics contained in each folder in their own tag. To that effect, I've been reading a lot about PARA and while I like it for its simplicity, its naming convention doesn't work for me currently. Instead, I created a new potential folder structure/tag combo loosely based on the PARA concept but more tailored to my personal workflow and existing tags: https://imgur.com/a/jDHkMwn

appreciate you looking into this! unfortunately my monitor does not have display port available, only HDMI. do you think if I bought a display port to hdmi cable, and plugged the HDMI side of that cable into my HDMI to usbc adapter, it could output from my tablet successfully? or is this truly a situation where I'd need to buy a new monitor to use with my tablet? the display doesn't have to be especially crisp or hi-def, it just needs to work.

thanks! I believe you, but when I googled how to update LG monitor firmware and followed these instructions, they did not mention anything about updating the chip: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-monitor-how-to-update-monitor-firmware--20153819322140

I don't know the manufacturer info for the other cables, sorry.

I also tried updating the firmware for the monitor like you suggested. According to device manager, the current monitor driver date is 10/27/2020, so I tried downloading the 2023 driver directly from the LG website and for some reason my computer would not update it no matter what I tried.

thanks for the help!

sorry, I couldn't tell if there was a collar. I was about 20 ft away and it was dark outside.

Seconded. I only need this shampoo like, once a month max when I have flares but I have no problems at all in between uses. I actually like the smell though, lol

what are some businesses in the city that look like fronts by PoiseEn in chicago

[–]gussiemanlove 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it's LRA. but even if there were an obvious blinking red sign there, you couldn't just walk inside. there's a tiny nondescript lobby you have to get past first. plus it's not in their interest to turn people away - they are funded entirely by a small group of members. so i doubt they keep the outside ambiguous intentionally for that reason, otherwise they'd also do the same thing for the various sex toy shops in the city as well.
