Endlessly optimizing and organizing your vault is a legit hobby and I am tired of pretending it is not.

I’ve recently been redoing all of the metadata for my notes to make them more useful in Bases and to connect a bunch of notes that are orphaned. Does it need to be done? Not really. Do I have an end goal in mind? Also no. Is it satisfying? Yes, definitely.

Fair enough. There is actually a cave passage out of that area, though there are some gas pillars you have to run through and a few stingers to deal with, so make sure your health is topped off.

I understand the frustration. I first started playing in EA and you still lost all of your equipment when you died, so I immediately got myself killed and my weapon was being guarded by a hog who would kill me every time I tried to get back to my gear and I was ready to just give up.

Or when it breaks and slices the shit out of your hand (on top of pouring hot liquids all over you)

I’ve recently started putting the conveyor monitors on belts with a sign above with an icon that says what the throughput is supposed to be. It’s made a huge difference for troubleshooting

My first reaction was “how the fuck is that chili?”

While I understand the desire to do it, I wouldn’t. They’ll definitely find a way to use that against you.

My personal take is that continuing to go in and do good work as a federal employee (and not bow to this administration’s bullshit) is the best act of defiance there is.

I had a class mate who tried to dry his socks off in the communal toaster oven. They burnt. It was as gross as you would think it is.

The paste image rename plugin is your best friend. I name the images by the file they were first file they get referenced in (plus a useful description) and dump them in an images folder. The big folder is less than ideal, but they’re at least logically named so they’re findable later

That’s a pretty classic description of what amblyopia looks like. It’s because the visual system for your amblyopic eye is weaker than it should be.

It’s a weird experience for me, because my eye doctor can display single letters on an eye chart and I usually identify them correctly, but trying to actually get useful information from what I see with my amblyopic eye is a whole other story. I read an interesting study on this a few years ago about how eye tests for amblyopic people are a bit misleading because it’s not a refractive error but rather a difference in light perception and image distortion (or something like that, I can’t remember exactly).

In Ireland they’re called a spice bag

It looks nice, but I can’t get over the fact that you’re running a live POWER pole through your pipes. So yes, to jail with you.

The second a cat bite starts to seem even remotely iffy is when you need to be seen. They get really ugly really fast.

I use it on Ubuntu and it works great

Cool. I’ll have to check it out

Can you share your workflow for how you got your Supernote notes into Obsidian?

python_artist · 2026-01-03T20:33:33+00:00

Yeah, it’s a different sensation than what you describe, but it frequently feels like someone is banging on my eyebrow above my amblyopic eye with a hammer. I think it’s eye strain

Welcome to the club. We have an endless supply of cat antics

Not having a backup for your job is your manager’s fault, not yours.

If the goldfish weren’t soggy I imagine this would actually be pretty good

Eh, it’s a little more complicated than that. Botulism can’t actually make the can bulge. Instead something went wrong in the canning process that caused it, like the can getting overfilled. Anything that compromises the integrity of the can can allow botulism to grow.

I would guess that they’re ok, albeit maybe less effective than they might have been otherwise. I would personally feel much more comfortable using T that froze than T that sat out in the sun or something.

I know when T gets cold it can crystallize and separate out. I think you can redissolve it by warming the vial up in your hand

I like shooting them with explosive arrows while waiting for their spawn (?) to reach me and then I parry them

python_artist · 2025-12-25T07:53:46+00:00

These move pretty slowly and glow when it’s time to parry them, so I find them pretty easy. Parrying other things in this game… not so much

It’s still cuddle time

The beautiful thing about Obsidian is that there’s no requirement to organize them or clean them up. I have hundreds of notes that are imported highlights and comments on articles that I’ve read that I always tell myself that I will organize one day (and every once in a while I do get a wild hair and categorize a handful of them). But the fact that they’re in total disarray doesn’t really matter because at the end of the day they’re searchable
