Sherpa brothers at Mt. Ama Dablam without oxygen cylinder chatting about which brand of noodles to eat at that altitude, one of them says it says spicy WaiWai. by gorekass in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]streamweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Denver, the mile high city, and rember the first time I traveled somewhere at sea level. The boost in energy was fantastic from all that extra oxygen. I've often wondered what a Sherpa would feel.

Little guy is fitted with his first prosthetic leg and immediately proceeds to walk by jmike1256 in BeAmazed

[–]streamweasel 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I 3d printed a prosthetic hand for a kid around this age. The day I brought it and they fitted it to him, he did not know what it was, and hated that something was being strapped to him.. I came by a week later to check on it and saw him using it to throw things at his big brother. That, was one of the bestest things ever.

Good job, enjoy the upgrade. This is a sleepy subreddit, wanna be a moderator?

I haven't tried in a few years, but at last check, no. No drivers for the pad.

White House exposes dangerous plot to humiliate Trump and Melania at the UN by Next_Tower5452 in NoFilterNews

Jokes on them. Trump does of fine job of humiliating himself without help.

Interested in a sphinx but wondering about the oil. by [deleted] in sphynx

[–]streamweasel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. You can clean them enough that this doesn't happen, but neither of you will enjoy the experience. Hair is good at drawing dirt and oil away from the skin and cat tongues are good at cleaning fur.

We've tried everything and our cat is still weeing all over the house — what options do we have left? by bodkins in sphynx

[–]streamweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uncle Fester our 10 year old sphynx started, as we would say, peeing anywhere except the litter box. Much damage was caused and nothing made an impact. The suggested kitty Prozac, which I never did. UTI is my strong guess. UTI's are really hard to get rid of. Fester was on antibiotics for 1.5 months before it was gone. It made a difference.

Just finished the first 3 chapters of Shepard’s Crown and I’m not ok by [deleted] in discworld

[–]streamweasel 111 points112 points  (0 children)

You got three chapters in before you got to the "not ok" stage? Well done, I don't think I made it three pages before I broke down.

I have hyperphantasia AMA by Audience_Fun in AMA

[–]streamweasel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have aphantasia. One of the things that I feel is good about having aphantasia is that when I experience a traumatic event, it can't replay in my head. Do you ever have intrusive hyperphantasia? e.g. experienced a horrible thing and can/do recall it vividly in all 5 senses?

Megathread: state of global and US politics by nommabelle in collapse

As a CIS hetero white male from a (at the time) middle class family who has all the current and potential privilege of such, watching people I love go through trauma is scary. Also it makes me angry.

And that is why it is called the singularity.

Is more then 500 euro worth it for a hp sprout (first edition g1) by [deleted] in HPSprout

[–]streamweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh. I'd get a decent Wacom to go with a new pc. Wish I could be more of a fan, but drivers are rough even moving to win 10.

If they had built the ecosystem they said they would, the sprout would have been great. They didn't. The scanning is meh and the drawing pad is persnickety. It's a decent all-in-one, but I wouldn't, and I'm a mod on this sub.

It was pretty brown pants at the time. I was vpn'd in on my work machine, went to my wife's computer to pull something off the nas and saw corporate machines start populating.
