So, I notice I cant attach any images. Been like that for a few days. New setting or Chrome option I have to toggle?

@firestormdangerdash I use firefox and have the same problem. I just upload to imgur or any other image hosting site and post the link.

@adiwan huh. Do you think its a coding website issue, or just how modern browsers edited the upload system?

@firestormdangerdash I think it's a server issue

So. I was in a very bad car crash a a few months ago. Hit from two sides. Highway speed. Now insurance and law are sniffing at me with hunger no doubt, and medical is listing me with a hundred and one reasons why I can't be a functional adult, but my lack of injuries and lack of symptoms are making it worse, since I can't safely get any kind of long term income cause im not injured but the medical file bars me from working or driving. My only hope is loopholes in laws and maybe some good graces of those that dont care to sign off on me for the odd thing. But I bananaed off a higher power.

@firestormdangerdash That's insane. Hopefully it will get better.
-
@adiwan Thank you. I never cared about life direction. But I knew how to handle my life. Now I was scared for a long time since I had rights and independence medically stripped from me on doctors orders. My future feels dead. My career probably is too. There is a slow path that might get my some rights back. But is that enough to be free? Idk. And easily undone if a doctor comes up with a new condition to give me. My only breaking point is just ignoring the medical and thus law to rebuild my life. Worst case I will lose what I already lost. Freedom.

Tying braces is trickier than anticipated. I worked up to a technique that is fine, especially handling the extra piece of string. Had it known that it would be such a hassle I'd take the ones with belts and buckles.
about 3 months ago from web-
@adiwan I found some one-handed shoe tying methods that might help, think it was actually on some disability-related site. I use one where you tie one end of the string to the uppermost eyehole so you just pull to tighten and kind of finagle it around at the wrist into a knot
-
-
I bought myself very cheap and simple black leather bracers (~15€), the type that tie only with a string. I intent to wear them next time the roads are slippery in order to prevent scratches on my arm, as my jacket didn't do anything to prevent that. These bracers slide constantly up and down as it is really difficult to put tension on the string and it is easy to overdo it for a comfortable and tight fit.
about 3 months ago from web-
@adiwan Research I should have done earlier say that is normal that they slide and don't fit right away. Either they have to be worn long enough that they mold to the arm shape and create more friction area, or some cloth or else is worn under the bracers, or the bracers are tied/sewn to the worn shirt.
-
@adiwan I got a pair of leather bracers for LARP, they definitely have seemed to fit better over time. I usually have the sleeves of my puffy shirt tucked into them, so that probably helps, too, but I also mostly only do it that way because the inner side of the eyehole brass thingies that you run the lace through are irritating directly on my arm
-
@scribus As a 100 % T-shirt wearer I feel that what you mean. Right now it's the rough side of the leather that feels a little scratchy as well as the stitching.

Dudes... An empty high caliber military ammunition box is cheaper than a flimsy tin box of similar size. I cannot comprehend.

Gonna assemble myself a first-aid box. I have the feeling that all the ready-to-go purchasable ones are lacking in material and actually useful bandages. Also the ones with any number of pieces in the title are even more scummy as they count every single safety pin and other useless small piece. I want middle to big band-aids. Furthermore I don't need a hard plastic case or yet another nylon zip bag. For my car I need one of those ready-to-go ones that are mandated but that is a different thing.

@scribus second this, I switched to them a while ago. I haven't really gotten a chance to use them aside from a few small cuts here and there (which is a positive I suppose) but my experience with them has been positive.

OK... The birthday present was a huge success. It was received very well. Too well... To my dismay I got a request to make Unown tiles (from the 3rd Pokemon movie) for their birthday.

It's weird when acronyms have overlapping meaning. For example POS. I read it as Point Of Sales but the Internet abbreviates Piece Of Fluffle Puff that way. When the cashier is an asshole both can be applied.

For a birthday gift for a friend, and a small pokemaniac, I crafted a Mew stone carving (from the first Pokemon movie) out of polymer clay. I used Adobe Illustrator to trace a screenshot and 3D-printed a cookie cutter and stamped it into the polymer clay and added additional stone texture with a ball of aluminium foil. After baking it at 130°C (266°F) for 40 minutes I used the crappiest acrylic paint I own. It did the job but the paint is darkening so much when dry that they turn almost black. With a liberal amount of white and other brighter paint (yellow, orange, red) I got to the end eventually. https://i.imgur.com/D7Nsjy5.jpg

I just ordered a pack of blank ID cards. i want to use them as mini dry erase whiteboards for notes inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5772876 However I want to put magnets on the back so I can place and reorganize these notes on my whiteboard. I could write directly on the whiteboard but I'm quickly annoyed on how any bigger change needs to redrawn and thus rarely used. This is an effort to get more organized.

AI image generation is dangerously addicting. It's like a loot box where one hope to get a good image or the perfect image. I've spent too much time yesterday generating portrait images for preparing to my D&D adventure. Also Bing's Dall-E has a content filter that makes it a little bit more tricky to make grotesque images. For example I wanted to create a fleshy and bloody amalgam of unicorn body parts that assemble into one giant and colossal unicorn. The background is that the heroes have defeated the wizard that used unicorns and their blood to fuse animals together. However the remnants of that magic and unicorn blood and the disposed bodies were tossed into the sewers and spread through the rivers. Now they have to "clean up" the whole mess and be some kind of Ghostbusters but with bloody unicorn blobs with veiny tendrils instead of ghosts.
about 4 months ago from web-
@scribus Of course. The sewers will have gelatinous cubes with unicorn giblets and ordinary slimes. I also take a monster called "Malleable" from Tome of Beasts 2 from Kobold Press. This monster is somewhat a slime but it can merge from smaller parts to a bigger and more powerful monster. The smaller ones will foreshadow the gigantic one. It is also psychic has the urge to grow bigger and merge with other flesh. It'll be a good challenge for my hyper-efficient D&D group.
-
@adiwan Oh heck, you always see the slime that divides when attacked; not sure how often I've seen slimes combine!
-
@scribus Yeah. That's why I immediately gravitated towards that. I wanted to use them in my last adventure but my players avoided getting into the sewers. The Malleables can also be split voluntarily or upon receiving 20hp of damage from a single attack. https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/malleable-moderate/ https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/malleable-major/ https://www.5esrd.com/database/creature/malleable-minor/

Also Unreal Engine 4 irks me a lot, especially loading scenes. There is so much texture loading delay that I'm not used to with the Dragon Engine. Also animations on load behave weirdly: A sitting person stands for a frame and snaps into a sitting position with physics-driven secondary animation wiggling wildly. In rarer occasions distant scenery also flash white.

@adiwan It seems to actually be the Yakuza 5/0/Kiwami engine with an Unreal Engine wrapper over top which i think is part of why the game is so jank. Not sure what the game played like in Japan originally, but I imagine it wasn't very different.
-
@zeldatra Makes sense that it is based on 5, as I found out that quite a few characters were in the original Japanese version. In the Unreal Engine remaster they were replaced by from 7. It's strange but I get it that Zhao is more popular than Baba.

I think I unwrapped my blood donation bandage at least an hour too soon O_O
about 4 months ago from web-
@adiwan Maybe you could organize a blood drive at work? I've had a couple of jobs where they had them fairly regularly.
-
@scribus There is no need to. There are basically weekly blood donations all around town. The thing is that I'm always too tired to get to them.
-
@adiwan Yeah, that's why I was thinking of integrating it into the regular day like that.

Hot baths (above body temperature) feel good when sitting inside the bathtub but feel awful when getting out of the tub. My whole circulation system of my body is then out of whack and I feel sickly numb and real sweaty. I get it that it's a very fever-like reaction but damn it is not on my mind when sitting relaxed in the tub.

GTA 6... I wonder if there are realistic effects like someone's pee-pee and balls shrinking in the cold.
As expected I was not impressed by anything in the trailer, especially when the release date will be in 2025. It's a nothing burger.about 4 months ago from web-
@adiwan as somebody who spent the first several years of my life in Florida, my big takeaway is that it’s really cool that Rockstar is depicting what seems to be a fully realized version of South and Central Florida instead of just showing us pictures of Miami they got off of Google Images like they did with Los Santos and Liberty City. I’m excited for it.

My final boss in Lost Judgment is Poker. I'm in a chain of side missions that need me to win in Poker (Texas Holdem). Sad thing is that I get always the worst cards and have not even got a dumb pair in 20 games.

@adiwan good that I had only to win once. Poker sucks so much. I swear I will throw the towel if I have to play a game of Shogi or Mahjong in a side story.

@scribus AFAIK there is no Go in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series. There are other equally unappealing games like Koi-Koi, Oicho-Kabu, and Hanafuda.

Car explodes at US-Canada border. All major media reports that it was a Palestinian terrorist. FBI investigates. No explosives, no terrorists, not even a Palestinian guy, just some dude that lost control of his car and burst into flames on impact. Only text retractions on the original articles, no on-air retractions. Love the media in this country.

Today was the day of the bomb disarming. They found a second bomb nearby and disarmed it as well. Nothing happened except for stupid people who were entering the evacuation zone. It happened a few times and delayed the whole operation. People who are caught in the evacuation zone (also in their apartments hiding) get a fine of up to 5000€.
about 5 months ago from web-
@adiwan Looks like you've had more practice cleaning up your post-war cities. Or maybe it's just the legendary German efficiency.
-
@scribus It took about 4 hours to evacuate about 5000 people out of the area. Then it took another 3 hours to get rid of the bombs including interruptions.
The legendary German efficiency is more a legend now. Living here you'll see that there is a lot left on the table when it comes to efficiency. The biggest and most visible joke are the trains that are always late or don't work when there is any kind of weather.

I’m about to be the only member of my family left in Virginia so I’d been looking into finally making the move to LA. Then I saw that an interstate over there had to close indefinitely because the ground caught on fire and all ten lanes were unusable. California is really trying its best to seem unlivable.
