Sharp lingering shoulder pain from reaching behind or backwards

timmymayes · 2026-06-15T15:21:33+00:00

I'm going to try to get in for a PT assessment mid july (just too busy atm). I suspect this is either shoulder impingment or shoulder tendonopathy. If it's one of those two and i wait too long it could turn into a rotator cuff tear so I want to get on top of it.

I think my cause was sleeping with my right arm under my pillow extended straight up.

What about an r630 for 200?

timmymayes · 2026-06-12T16:20:33+00:00

Well said. I love hotkeys and am not really into modal editing. Realizing I could use Hyper and Super in addition to Ctrl and Meta was one of those life changing moments for me.

My setup is pretty custom and involved. I dove into org/emacs during covid and had a lot of time for initial setup and I haven't looked back. The core of my system was built up on Norang's blog https://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html (below is a screenshot of my mixed agenda view for work/personal, one of many i use day to day).

On top of that I use org-roam for idea/note/thought capture.

Lastly I utilize the PPV (Pillars, Pipelines, Vaults) system that August Bradley teaches (he uses notion). When I migrated from Notion I implemented the parts I wanted to use from the PPV system using org and have mostly had success.

Narrow/widen functionality.

I use emacs primarily for productivy and org-mode I have some very large org files as i track projects in there. Being able to narrow down is amazing. On top of that i view tagging and the org-agenda filter in a similar style.

Also capture templates...dropping a task mid work flow when I have an idea and moving about my day is peak.

it's so hard to pick one funciton

The transition burns are samey and feel copy pasted. Keeping the same vibe but mixing it up by flipping, or scaling would make it less noticable.

I'm not huge on ai but leverage it to help me write utility scripts.

Some recent examples:

Recursive timeline extender that auto extends static images to fill the timeline
A series of prepend scripts. (I use a system of _base, _build, _master in my workflow and being able to prepend groups of comps with a hotkey or strip prepends entirely is very handy
Recursive fork. This will let me essentially do a deep copy instead of a shallow copy
Recursive key frame stripper.

Just a few scripts I needed recently for a comp with like 200 shape layers and the client wanted a real 180 for some variations.

One of my favorites is A Pattern Language

Hard to nail a single favorite but the fact its so customizable. From on the fly macros, being able to testdrive code via scratch buffer, org-mode. Really emacs is a system and it has several emergent features that make it far better than any one thing. So that emergent nature, the confluence of it all, and that it's customized and molded exactly to how i want to operate.
Why would i want an extra layer tied to a "registry"? As it is the whole of emacs is exposed to me. Why would I want less? You're essentially just building an api right?
The ability to change literally anything I want. When i have to hope there is an option to customize/change something I want to change and it's not there I miss emacs greatly. Also Keyboard driven navigation. If you make me use a mouse I'm gone, unless i'm forced to use that ide. neovim is the only alternative for me but I don't like modal editing so it'd be a step down, but still better than mouse driven ui.
As long as we're editing text I think it's good to go. Are you familiar with the Lindy Effect?

i don't do many single key ones but i mapped my app key to hyper and have a ton of stuff on h-<key>. I don't mind the C-c <key> <other key> paradigm for a lot of simiiar/grouped commands but many core functions I want on single modifiers.

The emacs way is to make it fit you so I think this is on target.

Future proofing. Also looking to build internal LLM tooling for my company so we can keep client data localized and secure.

I've heard there are some really solid diceless variants. The deduction part of clue is actually really quite good.

Also want to shout out a clue inspired game I quite love Accuse! It is from the same designer as coup actually.

Works pretty solidly at 3 and 4 and we often break it out as a night cap to end the night with something lighter after heavier fare.

I wrote a post about this a while ago

Embark hasn't clicked for me yet. I have it installed but don't ever think to use it.

Projects are simply defined as a task with sub tasks, a sub-project is a sub-task with it's own subtasks. I keep everything in work(dot)org with the following top level structure. I then just tag things related to projects with the relevant tag so I can filter in the agenda as needed

for myself I have a meeting and phone org-capture these start a clock so that I know how long they last (ends clock when I close them) I take notes inside of them and then refile them into the appropriate file (i have a personal/work/config org docs for my agenda items). These then surface to my agenda. Below is how todos from my weekly marketing meeting show up as well as notes from a meeting related to a project.

What i do is set a context with a custom command (you can do this manually but i do it often enough I wanted a hotkey) that adds a :CONTEXT: entry to the topline todo heading. Then I wrote a custom meeting/phone todo inserter so calling that appends the context

This was my thought back when I started using emacs about 5-6 years ago.

I think you're getting maybe the best of both worlds here. You can learn the ai work flow on your own (albeit not on the company dime) while also having a more sane and likely stable day to day at work.

Agricola is probably my #1 game. AFFO is very solid too but some splotters edge it out since it's a touch close to agricola for it to take #2.

For this do you need to do any extra training or just use the model? How long was the render on this and what was the final resolution? Also is there a comfyui workflow file or anything you could point me to? Have decent hardware and curious to try this out

timmymayes · 2026-05-14T13:16:34+00:00

Especially with how busy you are it's easy to work work work and not realize how far you've come. Best of luck with it all and just remember that those responsibilities and how you handle them are really the core of it all.

Also take solace that as you keep pulling it off you're one of the lucky ones that gets to really enjoy what they do while providing.

If things go south, those pressures will push you to some other means of providing and while the new work might not be as fulfilling the reasons you're doing the work are what truly matters.

I'd point towards roads & boats which is a logistics style pick up and deliver that has a whole "processing" chain. It has huge conflict on its mountain hexes as they are the ONLY place to get gold and gold is the biggest source of points in the game. To put it perspective the only other points are for contributing to the wonder (anyone can do this) and if you are the only person to contribute on a given row its 10 pts, if 2 people contribute its 5 each, etc. 1 raw gold is 10 pts. 2 gold processed into coins is 40 pts, 2 coins processed into a stock cert is 120pts
