  • Everything going on has got me down, I need a break. What's something good that's happened in your life recently?

    Jump

  • You can 3D print containers that fit all kind of juice/pop/milk lids. They can be any height, but my favorite are the ones that nest almost perfectly inside giving you one bottlecap worth of storage (perfect for pills or sim/sd cards).

    I've had my printer for 6 months and still get a kick out of this.

  • Star Wars Outlaws' $110 and $130 editions prompt a collective sigh from potential players tired of season passes and ill-advised early access periods

    Jump

  • "outlaws" also being a verb makes this title difficult to understand

  • Android 15's Private Space is getting more features to hide your apps and notifications

    Jump

  • I just finished reading "The Anxious Generation" by Jonathan Haidt on how hard it is for parents to police kids self-destructive phone use and tech companies aren't willing to do anything to help because it's so profitable to advertise to them and sell their data, this feels like another step down that road.

  • Do you sit at a desk and keyboard for multiple hours? If yes, please recommend a good chair.

    Jump

  • I work for a company that specializes in ergonomic work setups and the OTs recommend Ergocentric chairs at least 90% of the time.

    They're expensive, but if you are having health issues due to sitting then your employer has a "duty to accommodate" to get you a better setup.

    We also often recommend sit-stand desks because too comfy of a chair can just cause different problems from lack of movement.

  • Do you dream in first or third person?

    Jump

  • I get these often and I wouldn't define them as third person but more "non-person". To me first person dreams are where I'm watching it through my eyes and Thurs person would be watching myself as I do things (like third person video games). Not even being in the dream, just a mind movie as you called it, seems like another level removed.

    I wonder how much the amount of movies and video games around these days has changed this - whether dreams in the past would have only been first person because that's the only thing people had experienced.

  • Giant insects and way more fires! It's happened a few times in the history of our planet.

  • You have a magic pill, which de-ages you by 20 years. You can take it once in your life only, so long as you are at least 20. What age — past, current or future — do you reckon is best to take it?

    Jump

  • It depends whether I can somehow go back to the body of a 20 year old but keep my current 40 year old brain. I'm not going to pretend the majority of my improvements in patience, empathy, humility, work ethic and dgaf-ness are me consciously maturing instead of improvements in brain chemistry.

  • Why do some TV broadcasts show a person translating it to sign language instead of using subtitles?

    Jump

  • ASL has very different structure to spoken/written English, so not everybody who signs is going to comprehend English grammar as fluently/easily or the nuance of all the words that don't have a sign equivalent.

    Additionally ASL communicated who is talking and the tone of their words, even when the speaker is off screen, which just can't be captured by captioning. Closed captioning has just caught on to using slightly different colors to indicate the speaker, so you know who's talking offscreen. I've only seen this in British panel shows so far but it's helpful.

  • what are your fun, low stakes new year resolutions?

    Jump

  • If you are in Canada or the US I can't recommend the Libby app highly enough - books, audiobooks and magazines borrowed to your devices from your local Library. Looking at the last 5 years of borrowing it has saved me (pirating probably) thousands of dollars of audiobooks, and having an endless supply of audiobooks with zero cost really encourages reading.

    Will ublock Origin be blocked on chrome soon?💀💀💀

    Jump

  • Unfortunately only chrome has full support for Dragon professional, and Edge can be made to work. The dragon extension for Firefox stopped working and Microsoft, who now own dragon, doesn't have any incentive to fix it.

    The unofficial supper via the ClickbyVoice extension doesn't have a Firefox version.

    I would love to hear alternatives that support link numbering and voice commands :)
