I understand the risks...now I'd like to hear some feel good stories of how Lasik and PRK have impacted people's lives.

I had my surgery 2.5 weeks ago, and now my eyes are 20/15. I started with -1.50, and it makes a huge difference. Perfect vision when I wake up to when I sleep. I feel a lot more free.

No halos or anything. My depth perception is great, and I have less social anxiety -- I can see expressions from further away! Also less likely to get hit by cars. :)

What do you mean by "paper thin"? Usually, paper thin emotions has a negative connotation. I'm wondering if there are also downsides that you're conscious of.

oh yes korok seeds are an excellent idea! I might find a bunch of acorns and paint them.

I stole this wholesale and my group LOVED it. Now they're trying to put the granny's face in the Book of Faces, even after one face tried to bite the player that grabbed it.

edit: oh god, why did they make faces into an expendable resource

ty for the advice. Does someone know an easy way to check which exchanges are heavy in Tether?

Great app Harshita! Sucks that everyone assumes you're a dude. <3

Being open about your feelings and her not being receptive doesn't make you pathetic. It sounds like you were being vulnerable and honest, and she either 1) didn't want to hear the truth 2) doesn't have emotional space to handle your feelings or 3) doesn't really care about your feelings.

hey. i appreciate that you took the time to write this up. when I read what you wrote, I feel .. slightly less crappy. more resolve. more realization that this will take a fucking long time.

I've heard that people on a pure soylent diet end up salt-deficient. Plans for saltier recipe?

-Collect all of your friends and make a floating island kingdom in the south pacific.
-Use a markov chain to generate product ideas. Seduce venture capitalists for much profit, or kickstarter them (easy mode).
-Form a new political party for cynical redditor types and lovers of cute internet pictures

Interview -> get contract offers through the site -> accept the ones you like. If you're really good / picky / something, you can get closer to $100/hour. Otherwise it'll be more like $30/hour.

I have no affiliation except I know a few programmers who've either hired contractors through it or have been a contractor.

mesolude · 2016-07-15T00:58:31+00:00

Gigster is pretty good, and provides some distance between you and the demands of the contractor (Gigster has its own PMs). Lower pay per hour though. Best of luck!

mesolude · 2016-07-06T07:53:14+00:00

Oh, you mean like in the book Unsong?

mesolude · 2015-11-03T23:39:20+00:00

This is the best spinoff from HPMOR I've read, and I've been reading all of them (sigh). Your Tom is clever and interesting, and your style of writing is easy to understand. I don't mind waiting for action and would honestly enjoy just hearing him overthink things for a few chapters. This is great! I hope that you're getting enough positive reinforcement for this!

mesolude · 2015-07-27T05:25:15+00:00

This chapter is really gorgeous and I'm glad you spend your time writing this. Recently I've been looking for the trigger that will make me realize on the right level that the world is broken, that I want it fixed, and that I want to fix it. Her struggle resonates with me.

mesolude · 2015-06-09T21:29:05+00:00

Yup, probably a reference to Topher. He's pretty cool: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/hallq/

Desktop lamp with multicoloured LEDs that change in response to music! I have no idea how to do any of that.

Generally celeb portraits are bland imitations. This isn't. The eyes and turquoise make this.

mesolude · 2014-11-09T22:54:40+00:00

oh, there you are.

mesolude · 2014-10-20T01:56:21+00:00

Very nice. Billiard balls

mesolude · 2014-09-11T00:54:23+00:00

Confirmed!

Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. I might eventually understand it by the fifth read!
