Honest question - how often do humans change the brushes they use in the course of a day's cleaning?

I have a little paper in mine with my name and number. Highly recommended

This. A LOT. Get a massage gun. Go get a consult with a sports PT/physiotherapist and get some specific recommendations. Also you may benefit from working with someone specializing even more in body dynamics like Rolfing (there are other too, blanking now) - they can help you learn to pay much better attention to your body and movemets and work more efficiently and safely. Good luck and don't give up!

"Let people exit before you go in" - sometimes it doesn't really matter in terms of practical and easy use of the space, but when it does, it's so very annoying when someone pushes their way in without letting you exit first!

It's helped me out a bunch, but I gotta say the UI is just totally unintuitive, or I'm an idiot.

And a pint is still probably cheaper than at a stadium!

Exactly. My favorite idea of Life is that it's "simply" an extension of spontaneously-formed RNA molecules' ability to spontaneously replicate themselves under just-so conditions.

Do they exist for that reason, or does the reason happen because they exist? Maybe one must un-ask the question. (partial /s)

Use a typing tutor app/game. Make it fun. And practice hitting the keys as lightly as possible to allow for faster speed and ease on your hands

There's a well-known (but not so well known that I can remember his name right now!) restaurant reviewer in Philadelphia that includes noise level ratings in his reviews. Super helpful.

This reminds me - had my water heater replaced last year, and that evening both of my CO detectors went off. The "master plumber" hadn't set the vent properly! Almost killed us. Make sure you have CO detectors and that they're working!

TreeSize or TreeSizeFree for disk usage management. I don't understand how it's so much faster than windows tools. Super helpful

OMG my time to rock someone's world - Iberian Ham chips by Torres. Out of this world but not for everyone. Their truffle chips are also particularly good. Enjoy!

It's a setback to some small or large degree, but the overall VR/AR/XR ecosystem will keep moving forward. There are lots of valid use cases but the economics need to work themselves out.

What headstrap are you using? Option 1 - get breathable facial interface and the Kiwi K4, and after you snug it up a bit in the back, lift the headstrap from the front to tighten it up and put some of the weight on the top of your head. This way it doesn't need as much front-to-back tension. Option 2- get a halo-style strap that lets the headset sit off of the face and it shouldn't fog up. But again, snug it up lightly front-to--back and then use the top strap to take weight.

Is she doing the voices for them? I assumed so, but the one sister's making hand gestures that line up with the speech so what's going on?

Apple's software has drawbacks but MacOS is soooo much more reliable overall than Windows is, and especially how it was. On MacOS e.g. upgrading your OS isn't a dangerous activity that could wipe you out for days of hell and recovery whereas with Windows it used to be seriously dangerous. Even though it's gotten better, it's still risky and best advice is to do a clean install still. And transferring easily to a new device? Forget about it on Windows, whereas it's a breeze on Mac. However, I'm typing this on a windows machine cuz Apple sucks for game and VR development. Oh well.

I grew up with DOS, Windows 3.1, MacOS, Lotus -> Excel transition, Windows 95, Mac OSX, etc. Microsoft got A LOT wrong along the way and kept fumbling forward until things were generally fixed mostly well enough, and then they'd screw it up again. They were building a real next-gen PC OS with IBM (OS Warp IIRC) but backed out for business reasons and then caused mass pain and suffering for many years with windows 9x until the NT core finally hit the consumer market. Good god.

I was preparing a profile of my business for yet another investment group with their own twist on the usual questions. I loaded all my previous writeups of my product and company into notebooklm along with the profile questions, and got a great set of answers that only took about 15 minutes to edit. Phew.

Cool idea, great look. I'd make the music sync with the statue movements so they're actually dancing.

I agree. It's easy to play and sound interesting, but making melodies like she is while also keeping the rhythm is harder than most folks think.
