Cooking

the availability of the internet and a young(er) brain has made learning to cook easier for me. Also I feel like diverse ingredients are easier to come by. They were cooking out of Betty Crocker and their parent’s index card collection.

Single ultrawide for everything. The ergonomics are superior.

I successfully made a checklist of work tasks, and checked several of them off

I have a different printer; it was a pretty involved process that required partial disassembly. I imagine this is very printer specific.

I was having this problem, combined with a confusing bed adhesion issue. My gantry needed to be releveled.

Nice!

I hear ya - I’m recommending 1440p ultrawide, so the scaling will be the same as the other displays you are seeking.

I was like you and didn’t like curved TVs… but I have ultra wide curved displays at home/work, and this use case is awesome! Every part of the screen is about the same distance from my eyes. A typical 34” (3440x1440) is about the same pixel count as 2.5 1080p displays, but with no bezels to split the screen… so it’s perfectly centered. With separate displays I need to center one and set one way off to the side, or center the bezel split and need to always turn my head one way or the other. Webcam is centered. Cable management is easier (one power, one signal). Brackets are less bulky. Desk is cleaner looking.

You’ll get a little less area than 2x 27” 1440p displays.

I don’t know how important HDR is to you. I’ve always had good luck with Dell ultrasharp longevity. They have a 34” for $350.

PS4 God of War

I’ve been Xbox, Nintendo, PC my whole life, and eventually borrowed a PlayStation during the pandemic to play through some exclusives. I barely got through the tutorial before putting it down for two years. Got a ps5 eventually and gave it another try… and loved it.

My ego is fine! Enjoy.

I said theoretically because I recall it not being proven, and it’s been a while since I read anything on the topic.

It’s mildly amusing that my statement suggested to you anything remotely close to “studied fact”. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? Enough water? There’s empirical evidence out there that those can help with constipation. Now that’s a studied fact! Be well! 😇

Aluminum sulfate has also been theoretically linked to Alzheimer’s.

Not very interesting story - in college, I was on the special events committee that brought talent to the campus for entertainment. Sometimes, I was able to meet the talent. We had the pop up video guys come do a talk, afterward they had dinner with the committee members. I ended up getting an invite to intern on the show… but totally blew it. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a total idiot, or just didn’t know how to interview yet. Probably a little of both!

Did op edit the post? He didn’t mention specific language at all from what I can see now. Or maybe he said so in a comment elsewhere?

Retirement… omg, retirement

Cold brew is less bitter in my experience. I’ve read that the compounds responsible for the bitter taste are less soluble at lower temperatures. Regardless of whether that’s true, cold brew is definitely less bitter, more sweet. It’s how I got out of the habit of adding sweetener.

I know you said hidden gems, but I’m fairly new, so I admittedly use more popular apps.

• arc browser changed my relationship with the web
• hand mirror for checking that I’m not a hot mess before my next meeting
• karabiner for keyboard tweaking
• tot - dead simple quick note app
• fucking keyboard maestro!!
