  • I switched to standing-only for my work desk about 12 years ago. The first 3 weeks were agony; my hips hurt so much. I stretched a lot, which helped some. Then suddenly it was easy, and ever since I can stand for hours, no problem.

    A squishy mat is a must-have, and I also have a footrest to be able to change up my posture through the day.

  • They did a good job covering that in The Last of Us (season one, episode...4 or 5?): 20ish years post-apocalypse, someone very prepared has kept battery cells in a refrigerator (in acid maybe?) and they have to rebuild the battery before they can use the car, but the battery works.

  • The Kindle app for Android has an option for continuous scroll instead of page turn.

  • Yeah, though clues are few and far between; the

    museum in Tanchico with the Mercedes hood ornament

    is the biggest clue. From Jordan's other writings, the

    First age was our time, then humans created an AI powerful enough to genetically engineer humans to be able to do magic,

    and that led to the Age of Legends.

  • Losing consciousness for any reason = ER. A friend passed out during dinner and we weren't sure what to do, so we called the triage nurse and they were like "ER now!" (He was fine, they never figured out what happened and it's never happened again, but it's definitely stayed with me.)

  • Great criteria. Another "straight to the ER" one is loss of consciousness; people get knocked out in movies all the time so it's easy to assume it's fine, but it's not.

  • To get a baby costs a moment of pleasure, but to get a horse costs money.

  • And they put the operating rooms on the top floor so nearby pedestrians wouldn't hear the screaming so loudly.

  • I thought it meant that all the icons/interfaces for AI seem to have a graphical gradient between colors, usually cool colors like blue/purple/pink. (Like the face in the meme)

  • I got 2 bags of sparkly, brightly-colored art batts (wool, silk, and angelina) at a fiber festival at the beginning of June, and I just finished spinning all of them today (it doesn't take months to do, but I cut my finger in mid-June and had to take a break from fiber arts for a while). Now the singles need to rest, then I can ply them, then they'll be yarn! And then I can knit something very happy with them and maybe have it done in time for winter.

  • It tends to break chat bots because those are mostly pre-written prompts sent to ChatGPT along with the query, so this wipes out the pre-written prompt. It's anarchic because this prompt can get the chat bot to do things contrary to the goals of whoever set it up.

  • That might be the same story? I don't remember well enough; I should hunt it down and reread it :D

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Is there a good "random acts of kindness" community in the fediverse?
