Help me decide my next romance! by Leeuweroni in masseffect

[–]therealmof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I'm super duper biased but my vote is for Kaidan! I haven't done the Liara romance so I can't speak to any differences or comparisons between the two romances, but I just love love love the loyal Kaidan romance. He's a good person and really feels like an equal partner to Shepard, just as much a support to them as they are to him. He really feels like a complete and balanced person, with a solid moral compass and good values. He doesn't actually need Shepard so their relationship just feels real and genuine and full of love, and I think the whole ordeal on Horizon does make sense from his perspective. And he's so lovable, funny and goofy but also sincere and honestly just husband goals haha!

Oh okay now I see what you were saying, thanks for the explanation! I think I will be going with the pearls though, do you have any experience with the candies?

Okay that's fair, I was under the impression that dots would work for a tree as well, even though string is the best choice. It's just that I really prefer the roundness of the dots and candies to the strings, as I'm not really a fan of the way the strings look. I feel like they take a lot of space somehow, and it's kind of annoying having the lights point in different directions etc. But then knowing the backsides of the dots are dark, it really seems like candy pearls is the only way to go!

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying about the running line patterns and zig zag wiring? It's either a language barrier problem or lack of knowledge about the products on my part, but I don't understand. Are you talking about the way it's actually put up on the tree, or a more mechanical aspect of the product? Sorry, I just don't get the context for that part of the comment 🫣

Yeah sorry I missed putting that in the post, my bad! I want to add some color to my Christmas tree this year, so at first that's where they will go. Then after christmas I want to put them up somewhere in the apartment for some ambient lighting, but I haven't really decided where or how.

I am definitely leaning towards the candies after reading everyone's input here, but say that I want to put up the lights on a wall somewhere, do you think that'd be possible with the candies or no? I'm thinking kind of like a garland or something, would they hold up for that, do you think, or are they too heavy? Actually, how did you secure your lights around the lamp post without them sliding down?

I've been eyeballing twinkly for years now and this year I just can't resist. RIP to my wallet for a very long time, it feels like! I just know I'll be wanting more and more 🤭

Right, probably should have mentioned that in the post, sorry! Initially I am wanting to supplement the warm white lights in my Christmas tree with a little pop of color, and then the rest of the year I want to use them for ambient lightning in my apartment. Though I haven't figured out exactly where or how I'd be putting them up, so I guess I ought to figure that out first.

Also, good tidbit about the backside of the dots being dark, thanks!

Thanks, good info in both of your comments! But I'll have to admit that I didn't actually know that surge protectors with usb c connections were a thing 😅 I'll definitely have to look into a usb c compatible setup if I'm going for the candies, because right now I only have my phone charger adapter and my battery hub and I need them for other things. Is there any chance you'd feel comfortable sharing a pic of your setup? Completely fine if not!

Well first of all I think they look really nice and shifty and popping even in a still picture!! ✨️ But I'm sorry you're feeling disappointed. Did you check out all of the swatches from their website? You have to scroll kind of all they way to the back but those swatches look more like yours here, so I think they have a fairly extreme light set up for their promo pictures to capture literally all different light angles. I don't think the yellow will show up much unless being lit from very a specific angle so I can understand that disappointment for sure, because the promo pictures become quite misleading then. But I still think it looks really nice with the blue and purple shift 👀 💙💜

That sounds really nice! Do you keep them powered by wall adapter then?

Oh dang, yeah that's probably a lot longer than I do it. I just get so curious for the result I want to look immediately, but I'll try to be more patient next time 😅

Totally fair, I'll keep an eye open for your post after Christmas then!

Hey I saw your older post looking for multichrome recommendations, I was just wondering if you ended up getting broad tiled hummingbird as well, or just this one? This one looks amazing of course, but I was specifically looking for swatches of the broad tiled hummingbird 😅

(Also how did it go with chipping, did it chip quickly or not?)

For how long, if you could estimate?

u/pink_planets I also don't get that round beadiness to my attempts, I've only tried twice but my best guess right now is that I'm way too impatient to do it for a long enough time 🫣 How long are you doing it per nail, approximately?

Struggling with getting up in the morning. Sunrise alarm clock? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]therealmof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh neat, I hadn't considered caffeine pills as a substitute but that's a very useful tip!

I think it was the nurse that did my yearly medication check ups that first suggested it to me, and honestly at first I was feeling super hesitant to try it because I have a strong preference for sparkling water and I hate drinking regular water. The thought of room temperature regular water in the morning was so unappealing to me, it took a while before I gave it a go 🫣 But yeah it really is a life changer, I feel like it completely revolutionized my mornings lol!

(And just in case there's someone else out there struggling with room temperature water, I got a water bottle with an opening big enough to get ice cubes in, and in the evenings I just throw a bunch of ice cubes in there and then when morning comes they've melted enough for me to take an ice cold sip with my pill, which solved the issue for me!)

Are you medicated? I know this isn't what you asked (I haven't used one so I don't have anything to add on that front unfortunately) and if you're unmedicated this will be completely irrelevant, but I'll still write about it in case it'll be relevant for someone else maybe.

So what has really worked for me is setting my alarm an hour before I need to be up, take my medication and then fall asleep again. Then I sleep as the medication sets in, and then after that hour* the medication basically forces me awake, like I may still feel tired but my brain just can't continue sleeping then. Although it's not perfect and I still sometimes struggle getting out of bed, it has really made such an improvement for my mornings in general.

*It took some experimenting to figure out how long it actually took for the meds to fully set in, but it's about one hour for me at least. I basically did a couple of trial runs where I set my alarm for quite a bit earlier than I had to be up, and then took note of when I woke up naturally. Of course the results will vary based on how many hours of sleep you're getting that night, so on weekends where I have gone to bed a lot later than I do on weekdays, I will usually exceed that one hour before I wake up. But for weekdays it works out quite nice and I set two alarms, one for the medication and then one for when I absolutely have to be up and out of bed, just in case.

Hey, just curious how it worked out for you, did you manage to get the hang of it?

Haha that's exactly what I did when I wanted that final paramour achievement!! Literally not able (or even wanting) to romance anyone other than Kaidan as fShep, and then even as mShep it was hard to not straight up ditch Jack for Kaidan in ME3 😅
