I can’t remember what canon is like (and there’s so many different versions of canon anyways) but there’s a lot of Spiderman fics where he’s talking to someone he knows as both Peter Parker and Spiderman but they don’t know his secret and there’ll be this lil convo where they’re like “oh did you talk to [his other identity] about that?”
And a good majority of the time he’ll say yes instead of pretending like the two identities just never interact
And I just really really want to know how people think those convos go, like do they think they’re friendly to each other? do they think Peter harasses Spiderman like the paparazzi harass stars? do they think Peter’s just trying to get a couple of pics and Spidey traps him to have someone to tell all his jokes to?
How do people imagine those conversations going???

Buying a printer is truly the symbol of late stage capitalism. Every review is like:
"It refuses to scan if your ink has run out"
"It's cheaper to buy a new printer than to replace the cartridges."
"I tried to use a 3rd party cartridge and it pulled out a gun and shot my wife and my dog."

I HATE it when I ask questions like "Where can I get a good [product] for [this budget]?" and the only answers I get are "here's how to make one yourself :)) !" and the materials cost more than the product I wanted
(See my continually fruitless search in finding a decent light tracing box bc the only reblogs I got on the post asking for recommendations were for the instructions on how to make one myself out of "objects you already have on hand!" none of which these objects I owned and the cost of buying it all would have been more than the light boxes I was looking at)

ok bad pic but here’s what i got done. got about ~14 “acceptable” vines plus words out of ~23 prints so better than half but not by much 😪 did some 8x10s too but didn’t look too close at those. i had TWO vines on this fancy confetti washi & those both came out ok thank god. did some plain with just text & then since i had the red out & wanted to print something that actually looked nice remembered i had this cute cute heart stamp i wanted to experiment with printing like a block (cause like why not) that i took from work & printed up a batch of those. i’m gonna carve something to put in the middle of them but not sure yet. so i printed about one million prints today but really mixed bag on success rate

Y'all I'm so pleased with myself.
My partner's nephrologist said they need to restrict sodium intake due to their kidney condition, so we're now logging our food in an app to make sure we're doing our best. The app allows us to scan product barcodes which has made the process super easy in most cases.
But we have some food items that are very annoying to remember to scan. These items are typically (1) items bought in bulk and decanted into non-original containers for daily use, such as Costco Olive oil; (2) items that are refrigerated - I hate holding open the fridge door to find and scan items; or (3) items that require additonal prep steps, so we often throw away the packaging long before we remember it needs to be scanned.
I made note over the past few weeks which items we used often but forgot to scan, and decided to put my niche skills to use.
BEHOLD!
A barcode cheat sheet for the fridge door! All it took was copying the originating barcode numbers and creating identical digital version with a free UPC barcode generator tool. And because I'm always a little ✨ extra ✨ I included photographs of each thing to make it visually easy to match what I want to scan. 😊
I also measured the volume that our cups and ladles hold so we can cook and portion easier in the moment, then use the reference sheet later for logging.
It's always such a good feeling to banish small annoyances. 😁

really glad we have such a fancy high-tech wifi printer that makes things so much faster and more convenient
like, you know those old things? where you had to go to a document, click on "print" get your quick settings window, and then it would print? a loud af chonker that potentially shook whatever surface it was on? and you'd sit at your pc waiting for it to get done, only really having to worry that it'd run out of paper or ink was too low? yeah, sounds like hell, right?
surely you'd much prefer a printer that you have to walk to and manually turn on, then go back to your pc to click print etc, then go back to the printer (that, at this point, hopefully actually jas started and isn't still powering up or doing maintenance checks) in case it has some issue with the paper and asks you to confirm to print, and then have to decide whether you want to go back to wait at your pc or stick around in case there's a problem. also, better hope you don't have too many pages to print because even just one (1) might take over a minute.
