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.

@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

My first aid boxes https://i.imgur.com/E7NbRPI.jpg Ammo boxes with appropriate stickers on both sides. I like that they have rubber seals, have a carrying handle and the lid cannot be misplaced.

Bracers are fashionable but it's sad that they clash hard with nerdy T-shirts.

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.

@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.

AGDQ starts today and the first game is TUNIC. The amount of games is staggering. They have even the Kaito Files DLC for Lost Judgment on the schedule.

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.

I hammered the bell to an acceptable and functional state. It was not much but the slight oval shape and tilt dampened the tone a lot.
Also the bell was painted black and that paint was heavily scratched. So I had to "fix" it by using sandpaper and elbow grease which resulted into transforming a black bell to a brass bell that has still noticeable scratches but became less of an eye sore.Thursday, 11-Jan-24 20:01:55 UTC from web -
Sub-freezing temperatures, rain, icy layer on road, bicycle, slick tyres, curve, moderate tempo, falling. I was already somewhat careful and yet it wasn't enough to prevent injuring myself. Nothing major, just some abrasion of the skin on my left arm. The biggest damage was the bell on my bike (made out of brass) as it deformed so that it won't ring anymore or loud enough after trying to bend it back. The bell was sub-par anyway. I liked the tone but it wasn't reliable enough.

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.
