Go for it if you want, especially if it’s (mostly) in-reply to my higher-level comment.

In hindsight I guess I should’ve depersonalized my comment more or just abstracted it completely (yeah that is the dream or something).

I do what I can, I have my ups and downs too. You did better, good for you… maybe if we swapped you could fix my life, or maybe it’s just an anecdote and there is no way to tell.

Yeah, I know I need a lot of things (including healthcare and therapy) but healthcare is a mess here especially rural and if I could use any programs now (especially with waiting lists etc) I expect said access will be cut before needed follow-ups are done.

You can pin the blame on mentality all you like, but it doesn’t make the country any less of multiple unmitigated disasters.

Ah yes, walk it off. Very helpful. Do you think real issues don’t exist? Especially in the US now?

“If you feel like shit, just grind bro”. Doing what, exactly? Lots of options are oversaturated or having layoffs. Rent is a racket and there are people who work full-time “essential” jobs (like professors and nurses) living in their car. I cannot even afford nor do I want a car, and if I was living outside where I’m at I’d be at risk for heat stroke because my body cannot sweat enough for even mild heat. Also, I am nearly nowhere.

I can prepare and sauté vegetables, sweep, carry things, do various computer things. Is that enough to live off of? Even at my best, probably not! Could I maybe work something out with people? I’m a shut-in with the social skills of a rock, so that’s not likely either. EDIT: forgot to say bike riding, but again that’s also difficult with heat

Have I already lost? Yeah maybe, but the issues (both internal and external) are more than excuses. It if got me out of here I’d be a shitty cook on a boat (I also probably can’t swim, no ID/passport) but it doesn’t work like that anymore. Solo projects and crowd-funding are just as delusional.

I don’t live in that world. I have too many issues for any of that to work, but even if that weren’t the case I probably couldn’t travel to wherever would be better for me.

but the ones I received said nothing about bone conduction so the ad was a flat out lie

I did the same thing, it wasn’t a lie but the effect did not work properly because they did not fit properly. Not sure if more expensive ones have some better system for contact/positioning, but I don’t want the cost especially as I want to keep it wired.

That sounds really boring.

It does however seem to be broken, as well as something from part of old YT. See wayback: 1 2.

EDIT: seems like the old style of account url, for instance https://www.youtube.com/vsauce works just fine.

Also https://www.youtube.com/@feed but that says it was created in 2016, so I’d guess that could cause some clash with the old feed (though in wayback it stopped working before that, so who knows).

There is nothing there for me.

Isn’t Luanti’s world height way bigger, though? ~62K vs MC’s ~400 are the numbers I see.

I mean I get that’s a different thing, but aside from exploration it determines build height. Also to me it’s a more visible limit, because falling made it obvious how short MC’s maps were.

The problem for me is that it repeats many of the issues I had with Minecraft, so I don’t really have a good base to start with. Not really interested in LUA either, so there is even less motivation for me to make something from the ground up (I should probably be doing something with Godot instead).

I imagine the benefit for Luanti would be if you want to make a simple grid-based game it should be easy to do so (similar-to-but-easier-than a MC mod for example). Trying different games though, it was hit-or-miss for me especially when it just spits you falling into an empty world (I assume that’s a known config-error or incompatibility).

Luanti (formerly Minetest) might be closer to what OP is looking for. Both because LUA and because it’s platform-like.

EDIT: Also I didn’t notice at first, but OP’s previous post was asking about Minecraft vs. Luanti

Side note: you might be better off using said sauces at the end of your fry when your dish is basically done, not to replace oil but just for flavor (and to cook some of the vinegar out of said sauce). I do that with some Japanese barbecue sauce when frying vegetables, but it’s also a thin/vinegary sauce (I wouldn’t try it with something made for dipping).

I looked at my closest library’s website, online-only lasts for 90 days. For a full card it states proof of residency or A form of identification that has your current , permanent address on it as a requirement (of which I don’t have the listed examples).

Although I also depend on the weather being nice (it has been hot lately) to ride my bike to the town the library is in, so not too keen on the idea of needing to return stuff anyway.

I don’t think I even have the right information they want unless they’re lenient (like accepting a very old school ID for photo ID).

They were askin’ if you were around… I told them you were: l i v i n '.

do you mind sharing the machine?

Atlas Orthogonal Percussion Instrument*. Basically it pushes the top vertebra back into alignment based on the precise angle needed.

For some background, the cause is I had whiplash many years ago. I also likely have EDS (a potential factor for the low-speed whiplash) so it’s possible even if this machine has some basis it might not be a reliable fix for me.

* often called just the first 2 words

That’s not a contradiction, the fact that it is the page you get from searching the term is exactly their point.

Looking at the page Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, it even seems to point to both having the same origin (1874 USA) and later changing:

Osteopathic medicine (as defined and regulated in the United States) emerged historically from the quasi-medical practice of osteopathy, but has become a distinct and proper medical profession.

Be it resolved, that the American Osteopathic Association institute a policy, both officially in our publications and individually on a conversational basis, to use the terms osteopathic medicine in place of the word osteopathy and osteopathic physician and surgeon in place of osteopath; the words osteopathy and osteopath being reserved for historical, sentimental, and informal discussions only

Though also…

DO schools provide an additional 300–500 hours in the study of hands-on manual medicine and the body’s musculoskeletal system, which is referred to as osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). Osteopathic manipulation is a pseudoscience.

and from the related sources:

Mark Crislip also pointed out that DOs are using less and less osteopathic manipulation in their practice. This is a good thing, and hopefully it will eventually completely fade away. Essentially we need to distinguish between osteopathic medicine, which is mostly equivalent to standard medicine, and osteopathic manipulation, which is pure pseudoscience akin to straight chiropractic.

EDIT: Also it really sucks that things are muddied like this, I have a neck problem and there’s a potential solution that uses a precision machine but I have no idea if it’s a real procedure or just more quackery. I’ve asked a few times and got no responses or just downvotes. Though I also don’t know if the chiro places near me have it or the needed x-ray capability.

A lot of issues like this are how things are designed. Taking a page from NotJustBikes (look them up if you haven’t heard of them), lots of things are car-centric (cities, housing, zoning, parking-lots, lack of public transportation) even when it comes as a detriment to everyone not in a car (and sometimes even those in large vehicles, because congestion).

It’s also another culture-war thing and not even just in the US, look how in Canada Doug Ford wants to remove even the painted bike lane.

I mean… they sometimes are (if the sidewalk is designed for it), look at multi-use trails. A city near me allows bikes (coming from the trail) on wide sidewalks to the main street.

It depends on the flow of pedestrians (too many people would be difficult to navigate with a bicycle anyway) and it can be a visibility issue with doors of storefronts (especially as people leaving likely aren’t expecting/looking-for someone passing on a bike).

It’s a lot less mass and speed (and thus momentum) and it also isn’t a room-sized suit-of-armor that can allow accidentally plowing through the brick wall of a store (unscathed) because they dropped their cellphone between the couch cushions.

Aside from lower lethality for pedestrians than vs cars (especially 30mph+, high hood height trucks, blind spots or malfunctions), a bike rider is at risk to injure themselves in any sort of adverse event (be it flipping over the handlebars, falls/skids, or something like a faulty bicycle frame/fork).

I did mean both… Newgrounds is known for animation, too. Have you never seen a flash animation?
