Yes, especially with a standing desk. When standing, you’ll need the monitors much higher off the desk than when you’re sitting.

I recently got a Therapod chair and it’s the greatest thing I’ve ever sat in. It has adjustable tension straps built in so you can make the lumbar support exactly where you need it.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the concise reply!

-Streaming quality is set to original on every device I use to access Plex.

-I still get confused about open ports, but I’ll check again and make sure it’s not running through relay.

-I believe the hardware should be fast enough to transcode at least a couple streams, but I’ll check again.

Remote access is enabled but whether I’m actually able to access the server or library remotely is intermittent. Plex says I may be double-natted but I was pretty sure I’m not. I’ll have to investigate again.

Ah, Plex suggested I might be double-natted. Since fiber doesn’t need a modem (from my understanding) I have: fiber cable to box, box Ethernet to router, router ethernet to NAS. Maybe it would be better if I did box directly to NAS? Or would that put it on a separate network? I’ll look into your double-nat solution. Thank you.

Ah shit. The faucet is stainless but the counter around the sink is some kind of wood composite. Guess I’ll put a bandaid on it and plan to replace the counter.

If anyone’s looking for brand names… Loops have spent a lot on marketing the last few years. I’ve worn them a few times and they’re good, but I think Flare Earshades are just one level above. I can’t believe how good they sound.

I love that you love Giordano’s. I live by one and I’ve eaten there twice and it was underwhelming for me. The pizza takes like an hour to bake, and it’s just too much crust. I liked the chewy stringy cheese and the soupy sauce on top, but the vehicle just didn’t work for me.

From the article:

The pilot program targeted people with simple tax returns based on W-2 forms. In her remarks today Yellen said that over the next few years they will expand Direct File to support more situations.

A friend who worked at Meta said pretty concisely, “You get rewarded for coming up with something new, not improving something old.”

I got a set of metal picks from Harbor Freight for like 3 bucks. They’re similar to the pick tool that a dental hygienist uses. I use these things nearly every day to scrape stuff out of a crevice, retrieve something out of a narrow hole, pull stuff out of a tube or straw, precision clean corners of things, etc. I love them.

I’m upvoting you not because I’m a fan of Huberman. I listened to half an episode and it didn’t grab me. I’m upvoting because you’re asking sincere questions and so far (only 2 responses) you haven’t gotten an answer.

Talk to a stranger. At the park, at the bus stop, at the dog park. Doesn’t matter what we talk about, it just feels good to connect and it takes my mind off my own bullshit.

Delete this. Albanese are too soft. Haribo perfected the chewiness.

I’m surprised about Indiana Jones. It was my favorite of all the movies. Back to OG story with Greek history, Nazis, and a little supernatural stuff. I watched it twice.

Probably an attachment style test. Attachment theory is empirically valid, and knowing your attachment style can help you understand relationship patterns: communication, behaviors, emotional needs, etc.

After that, the love languages are a good start to a conversation. Essentially they can help you figure out how you prefer to be cared for, and how you tend to show that you care. The categories themselves are arbitrary, and they’re based on observations by a baptist minister who offered relationship counseling. He’s not a licensed mental health professional, and the love languages aren’t empirically based. One issue I have with his book is that he claims that men tend to have “physical touch” as their love language, and that women should have more sex with their husbands to help them feel loved.

The Big Five personality traits are the most valid of the popular personality tests, but I didn’t feel like they helped me understand myself more.

A few years back Dana White said he was going to crack down on illegal UFC streams. Then one night at a press conference he announced, “You guys remember the guy I was talking about who was doing the illegal streams? WE GOT HIM. He apologized and promised he’ll never do it again.” These losers are completely out of touch.

Yes, I also think it could have been worded a little more clearly. But definitely not Glazer’s fault that he was misrepresented.
