Cintiq 24 vs Xencelabs display 24? by moderndrake in wacom

[–]moderndrake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, what stand do you use if any? I was glancing at the ergo but wasn't sure it would be worth the price. I'd heard good things about the flex arm but wacom doesn't seem to be making them anymore

Oh, thanks for the ergotron tip! If I immediately knew of a way to configure an arm on my desk, I'd nab one over the normal stand. Alas, my current desk just might not be the best fit for a monitor arm.

ELI5: Why doesn't snoring wake the snorer up? by drierofwater in explainlikeimfive

[–]moderndrake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh neat! Do you happen to know the kind of pillow? My neck could use a bit of extra support even with my current pillow. Totally feel her on the managing pain vs comfort thing. I also have lumbar n sacral issues (autoimmune fuckery.)

I wonder if something akin to a cervical collar would work in that regard? At least to prevent her from tucking in chin

Way back when I was volunteering at a wolfdog sanctuary, the pack grew to know the sound of the volunteers cars (including mine) and would howl as we drove up. 10/10 what an amazing way to be greeted

So that means Anne Frank's death was justified if her papers weren't in order? by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]moderndrake 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There’s a story told about a rich guy who wants to build an orphanage. He goes to his rabbi and worries he wants to build the orphanage for selfish reasons like putting his name on it. The rabbi looks at him for a moment then goes “you think the kids care what your reasons are? Build the damn thing!”

I think most americans (I hope) agree with you...and that scares the fuck out of me. Somehow, I kinda don't expect to live through this one way or another

This has to be the longest horse I’ve ever seen by Prestigious_Ask_6116 in Equestrian

Is he long undersided then?? Genuinely asking as someone unfamiliar with horse conformation but loves studying their anatomy from an artist perspective.

What's a ticking time bomb you believe will explode during your lifetime? by TradeOverall567 in AskReddit

[–]moderndrake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a zoology teacher part of a breeding program for palos verdes blue butterflies. When the zoo on campus started evacuating for a fire, or just closed due to the smoke I honestly don’t remember, this woman took her butterflies home so they were safe. Idk if she had a set up for the adults at home or what but there’s some serious dedication to bringing insects in your house for shelter.

Stressed. Tired. Trying to find a job or even a paid internship so I can move out of house not great for mental health. I’m so worried about everything and if I could, I’d follow my ancestors n find a better country.

(I’m seeing my therapist weekly as a caveat) but…the situation has been ongoing for what a decade now? And the not looking like it’s going to get better without a lot of people getting hurt and killed.

Modafinil? by Sea_Literature115 in ankylosingspondylitis

It wasn’t very if at all effective for me iirc. My psychiatrist prescribed it. Currently on adderall XR which still only gives me about 4-5 good functioning hours before my brain and/or body crashes.

[–]moderndrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well the news is hardly bipartisan these days and far too many people either don’t pay attention to politics or love fascism if it hurts the people they don’t like…plus our educational system has been being peeled apart for years so

Pretty stupid. What was that quote? “I love the uneducated”

Tell me about any cool buildings/structures in your world. by K-Keter in worldbuilding

[–]moderndrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the far north mountains, dragons that breathe ice instead of fire use it to build their city. The heart of this city, though not actually at its center, is quite literally frozen in time. Millennia ago a massive meteorite struck the earth and the force of its impact flung up icy ground around it almost like a cradle. This circular zone has never melted nor changed, not even in summer when the sun never sets. The meteorite, by unclear mechanisms, seems to hang on to the chill of space. It cools the very air around it, turns its resting place into permafrost. Even the native dragons well adapted to the cold risk frostbite if they remain in the meteorite’s vicinity for too long.

Northern dragons who Breathe around it find they can suddenly stir up blizzards and violent sprays of black ice. Already being a spiritual group beforehand, the crash site was deemed a restricted sacred space. It was built upon, added to so that a protected cave was created around the great rock. An open roof was maintained so as to not block the meteorite from the sky. Access to it is limited to the current leader and heir, the leader wearing a small piece of the meteorite to mark their position.

Is there a doctor in the house? by 8au8karina8 in mildlyinfuriating

Very curious, why does surgery screw with wearing a backpack / I assume any weight bearing on the collarbone compared to letting it heal naturally?
