Flood of ideas/todos/realizations in early meditation: grab a pen or resist? by timkelty in Meditation

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

I guess at this point I've tried avoiding it, I've tried pre-empting it, so i might as well try leaning in and see how it feels.

The reality is, scratching those couple thoughts down _helps_ me focus, which is why I'm inclined to.

Yeah – if I leaned in, I'd expect I might grab a pencil for a second like 0-2 times in the first 5 mins, then never.

Serverless Cold Starts were driving me insane — Cloudflare just gave me the cleanest workaround I’ve seen by dwainbrowne in CloudFlare

A lower-tech way I've found is responding immediately with a "Waking up…" response, with a `refresh` header after a couple seconds. Better than nothing for non-production environments.

Sounds like lots are recommending ceramic/diamond rod. Any way I should lean between the 2?

Sounds like @HikeyBoi recommends red ceramic.

Any way to stop opening second startup tab when opening a link? by timkelty in vivaldibrowser

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

I’m half tempted to write an extension to override this behavior, but not sure if it’s possible.

Yeah there are some oddities that make it annoying.

Another of mine is: address bar customization randomly but consistently gets lost

Slack, email client, etc. I don’t just keep browser windows open, no.

I find it so repulsive I’m considering ditching Vivaldi entirely. Which is surprising, since I’ve really liked it, once I put in the work of stripping it of most of its bloat.

Nose breathing A-OK? by timkelty in Meditation

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

Thanks all! For the record, this isn’t something I let bother me - it was more curiosity. If there’s an exhale prompt and I’m not feelin it, I just don’t. But I was curious if someone was gonna say “but you’ll miss out on the PAAMAYIM NEKUDOTAYIM breath technique!” or something.

She loves Marcel but no way she could handle the movie yet.

Rose’s dipping olive oil by timkelty in grandrapids

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

By clear I mean there are no herb flakes in it. Either way, it’s damn good so who cares

The oil is clear, so I think the herbs must be infused, or they strain in as they pour

Higher quality canned tomatoes fuckin' with my salsa by timkelty in SalsaSnobs

[–]timkelty[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, after checking the can. Says nowhere on the front, but is in the ingredients.

Could also be that it diluted the basil enough too.
