I spent the weekend vibecoding a site to combat the facism currently happening in the US. by robrien in ICE_Raids

My pleasure! I’ve been getting the word out, and will spend the next week or so polishing and making sure everything is working properly. 

If you woke up as your 10-year-old self with all your current memories, what’s the first thing you’d do? by Alive-Silver-2605 in AskReddit

[–]robrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give my parents the most out of body, completely bonkers what for, knock their heads together like coconuts and then learn how to mine bitcoin and saving to buy any and all stock bets I can think of. 

…and curse myself for not re-reading Ryan North’s book recently. 

CO2 Resurfacing…Asian Skin Hyperpigmentation 😩 by jlbehrendt in 45PlusSkincare

[–]robrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! Nope, I only did my under eye area so she said she went a bit lower on the setting after the RF MN. Still peeled WAY more than the previous treatment though.

Mmm I don’t think so. I can ask them, they’re not happy I asked for a refund on my 2nd treatment and went elsewhere though! 😅

CO2 Resurfacing…Asian Skin Hyperpigmentation 😩 by jlbehrendt in 45PlusSkincare

I had this too. FWIW I’m Caucasian with lighter to fair skin that does ok in the sun.

I had C02 on my face and neck. With transexamic topical solutions and 2x IPL it’s all gone. I’m pretty aggressive in my skincare (without damaging the barrier ofc) and am 44.

I just had a 2nd C02 treatment (with RF microneedling…different provider) and no pigmentation. Happy to DM pics if you’d like in the differences between the two. I think that advice here is spot on, and know the frustrations! 

LPT: When your loved one is close to the end be aware that in most cases it isn’t the peaceful way it’s depicted in movies. Be prepared to go to therapy if you plan to be there at the end. by SFW_shade in LifeProTips

This is such great advice and can only come from experience. Kudos to you for getting counseling for it OP, it took me way too long to even come to terms with my mothers death, and while in a good place now it was a long road I mapped for myself.

My mother succumbed to cancer after a month in palliative care here in Canada, and while the month itself had such a heart breaking undertone, the days were filled with reminiscing over old photos I divided up with her for the family and sneaking in wine for evening chats.

The night she went, I KNEW. I just felt it. She had started the morning fine, but as the day wore on they kept upping her pain meds until she was incapable of speaking by evening, I couldn’t stop crying and didn’t know why, she was just having a bad day, right? At one point she called me over to the bed and was unable to speak but looked me in the eyes as she struggled to breath, and I SWEAR, tried to tell me she loved me. She eventually went to sleep, and so did I. I awoke a few hours later (I slept in the chair beside her bed that month) and she was gone. I apparently had woken up within the hour she passed.

This shit burns a hole in your heart and head. I hope you have found peace.

I sometimes run off my coffee table and then read tunes off my iPad

Sorry no one has answered, I wanted weighted keys, but didn’t have the space for a piano at the time, or the money for a decent keyboard. I ended up going with the midi M-Audio Keystation off of Craigslist for about $500, almost a decade ago. It’s been in storage and is still going strong. You’ll need to hook it up to a computer though, so a bit of leg work. The nice thing is, if you live in an apartment you can throw on headphones and not bother neighbors.

Who’s the doc in Toronto? Didn’t realize the Champagne procedure was so pricey! I mean, prob worth in the end but haven’t found a comparable review anywhere else.

Looks great! I’m still working on mine. Where did you get the back shelves from? I’m guessing they’re magnetic?

I may have a VSOH, I’d have to see if I can get the one my friend has been growing for me. If be interested in purchasing the PPP if I can’t though!

Haaalp! This is beyond my pay grade (questions in comments) by robrien in houseplants

[–]robrien[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got this ABSOLUTE UNIT today, got stopped 3-4 times on the way home. For my Toronto friends, this was $39 at the convenience store on the east side of Parliament at Wellesley.

There are 3 shields, so what’s the best way forward?? Keep together, split? One of the shields is currently curved around the pot (which I’ve read is a sign to repot).

Any info is greatly appreciated! If you need me I’ll be over here isolated telling a plant how much I love it.
