i've thought about this long and hard and i have decided on a way to improve the world: all cafes should serve their hot drinks in proper mugs instead of those squat little teacups. more space to hold the receptacle and more coffee per serving, sounds like a win-win situation to me

#look those cups are just so HEAVY #for the amount of drink they contain #they're made of like 3cm of porcelain thick or something #the handles are not ergonomic #it's a disaster #this is what i am spending my time thinking about yes #anyway i'm gonna make a petition and hand-deliver it to my local cafes #an extremely useful way to spend my time #you all know i'm right #my post

Look, she's paralysed and won't really get in the way of Mechi's work around the colony. Mechi gets a psylink neuroformer, and Angst gets to spend nineteen days facing a bleak white wall in the corner of the laboratory. Win-win!

A distress signal? How curious. Archotechnology is always tempting...

Mechi went to investigate with Chief of Security Ratchet and Deputy Rocket, only to discover the place was crawling with gross flesh. They left with zero archotechnology and a renewed disgust for all things biological.

Finally, everyone meet Hummel, the newest wild man on the map. He looks like the world's most irate, washed-up foxboy. I love him.

things i have learned in the last 24 hours:

i love crutches so much. i haven't felt freedom like this since the 3 hour ramble hike I did last year, the week before I stopped being able to walk

I am as short as the short motherfucker in tom cardy's perception check song (154cm)

nice (here meaning: non-medical looking) crutches are expensive

non-medical appearance crutches that actually have the 29inch/74 cm height that I use, may simply not exist.

a set of non-medical looking crutches with shock absorb ferrule and ergonomic grip that can sit at my precise 29in/74cm are my moby dick now

captain ahab I understand you on a visceral level once again

#me meta #the saga of finding a mobility aid that doesn't immediately make people infantalise or ignore me continues #i love my van gogh cane so much. because its dignified.#sorry for saying the quiet part out loud for a second #but i used a medical looking cane for a few weeks and got treated like dirt. the rage was nearly too much for my 5ft frame.#i am in so much solidarity with everyone who cannot afford or cannot find a mobility aid that gives them basic human dignity.#anyway im now going to spend a month looking for my white whale ergonomic handle crutches in a nice mature colour that fits my height #and it would be nice if theyre under £100 but i don't have hope for that #also i got my van gogh sunflower crutch at walkingsticks(.)co(.)uk also remember to check for vat exemption #i have more to say but i am once again too tired to type. beyond wild illness i have.

caved in and bought a cane because i just have to accept the fact that standing and walking feel Very Not Good For Me so i'm gonna want one for my upcoming trip.

cons: makes me feel miserable about my declining health, don't like the undue attention it public it might draw

pros: i bought a cute one at least

#it doesnt have an ergonomic handle but im planning to only use it incidentally #so i figured the emotional comfort of one that wasnt ugly was worth a slight decrease in comfort

finally decided my pains bad enough that im "allowed" to get forearm crutches 😭

theres definitely a learning curve for using them efficiently and not accidentally hitting things with them, but i can tell theyll be way better for my pain in the long run! i can put way much more weight on them than my cane, even when im using only one! (i also like the flexibility of being able to use just one on normal days but use 2 on bad pain days)

#the handles have a left and a right which was a little disappointing bc i like to switch the sides one my cane throughout the day #but honestly the way im finding it easiest to hold them the ergonomic of lect or right doesnt really affect it

of course they brought me the yarn when i decided it's time to focus on studying lol

#also i bought a couple of hooks cause i didn't want to pay shipping just for one skein of yarn #i got one 3.5mm one cause i either lost mine or i just have convinced myself that i had one when i never did #and i bought a 2.5mm one cause i wanted one and i had chosen the one with the ergonomic handle but they brought me the regular one #im not mad about it #they did steal like 1.3€ from me lol but whatever #my problem is that its too thin and it makes me forget how im supposed to hold it #however i dont have a problem crocheting with the 3mm one so i think im gonna be fine #anyway now time to study cause i need to pass an exam tomorrow #jo says stuff #personal ramblings

i like knitting way more than crocheting and yet i own way more crochet hooks. fascinating.

#i think i keep hoping the next ones will make me like crocheting more #and they never do.#actually i know exactly why i bought all of them and none of it was for that reason.#my initial batch was from the dollar tree just to try out crochet and see if i could get into it #(actually i needed them for a provisional cast on for a hat i still havent knit)#(but i figured whilei had em i might as well try crochet)#then i got into tunisian crochet and i got a set of plastic tunisian crochet hooks #which i lost somehow???#so i bought another set (first one was a gift at least so i didnt buy the same thing twice with my own money)#and those are great i still love them #but i needed smaller sizes cuz they only go down to like 3.75 mm #and i needed like ~2mm sizes with more ergonomic handles #so i could do finer work #so i bought a CHEAP set of bamboo hooks that came with metal hooks in very small sizes #(and they were so cheap i had to go over all of them with sandpaper to even make them usable)#and i got a set of the susan bates twist and lock because i prefer metal and i didn't have any metal bates-style hook heads #but i wish they came in more sizes :( i like the handle for the most part #and the yarn cutter #but they ALSO only go down to like 3.75 mm #and now im waiting on a set of METAL interchangeable tunisian hooks #because i prefer metal and i LOVE tunisian crochet #so it should be nice to finally have metal hooks i can use for that #i had a bamboo hook my dad made for me that i learned tunisian crochet on #and it was AWFUL!!!#it was SO sticky. not like‚ to the touch‚ but like.#the yarn stuck to it so bad. the friction. YUCK!!#and i like the plastic ones alright. but they're no metal.#like i cant express to you the difference because its mostly just the feel.#but i prefer the feel of metal tools all the way. all the way.#i love the glide

listening to this lady talk about crochet stuff, halfway zoned out, and she suddenly said "I'd like to be firmly stuffed"

the way my ears just perked up

i had to rewind and see what she meant, but I kinda prefer this statement without context.

yeah, I mean.... me too girl, sure

#just as i zoned back out she also went on to say “I like a chunky boy”#and i'm like...... yeah me too babe but i doubt we're thinking about the same thing #hold on let me rewind you again #(it was a craft handle)#(like an ergonomic thing you can put on your crochet hook so it's girthier and so it's more comfortable to hold)#(one might say the shape fits)#squirrel speaks #i feel so immature but i'm in tears laughing

Final builds of demo are exported. I am so tired. Tomorrow I finish the trailer and Sunday I finish the final presentation of the steam page and press submit. Everything going well the demo releases in a week..............

#I have also fucked over my wrists again #going to take a while to recover from this just like when I had to take all those extensions for my finals in grad school #it was mostly a couple days ago I did a long tablet drawing session in really bad ergonomic posture #and after weeks and weeks of working on drying and also at the computer basically non-stop that was just the icing on the cake #I also haven't had the time to practice cello as much and since cello helps build my muscles and gives me some relief thats making it worse #anyway I have my wrist braces on tonight and I'm going to take a ton of breaks tomorrow including cello breaks #and then after it's all done on Sunday I am going to R E S T for A THOUSAND YEARS #like I'm actually using my tablet pen on my phone right now because my hands don't want to hold and type it #good thing I already have all the tools I need to handle my carpal tunnel when it's at its worst though #better to be prepared than not #anyway. regardless of my arms. I have made a thing and I am so excited to unleash it upon the world

We had guests actively choose the air mattress and sofa over our Berlin-Wall era, cheap, folding couch in the guest room, so we figured that particular hole-riddled tetanus vector full of rusty staples had lived its best life and was ready for recycling. We looked at Ikea beds we liked, and then went online to find a used one. Wife liked Brimnes.

Now, we have owned this bed's big brother. We left it at our last apartment because assembling it damn near made my FIL cut ties with us, three pages into the manual. The handles have ripped open my shins many, many times. They don't just peel the skin off, they bruise while they do so. Being aware of the fact that it happens changes NOTHING to your chance of injury. Assembling the handles upside down, ditto. If there's one series I could purge from Ikea's product line, it would be Brimnes.

But I love my wife more than I hate Brimnes handles. And this one is way easier to assemble than the double-size one. So we both put on our big girl panties, and compromised. We would look for a Brimnes bed, on purpose. And we were doing literally anything else then putting the original handles on.

Within a month, she found a Ye Olde Craigslist seller who agreed to sell us a third-hand bed with two minor blemishes for €279 off its minimum €329-without-shipping-it-home in-store price. With the slightly better mattress option that costs €70 more. And with 3 sets of fitted sheets for the mattresses included. (Disney princesses summon songbirds, mine summons affordable used furniture.) Our fate sealed, I went online, and before looking to spend more money, checked if anyone had perhaps designed an alternate handle to be 3D printed.

Dear reader, if you look for Brimnes on thangs.com today, you find 2 absolute terrors who recreated the OG handles, though one of them says it's for a different piece of furniture than the bed and might be unaware of the danger they're in. You also get 1 person who designed a cover for the handles, to be printed in the softest TPU money can buy. And you get 3 people actively damning the bed's murder handles in their model descriptions and offering a completely different, non-gouging design to attach with the original holes and screws provided. (We went with Aldan4uk's.)

when i'm empress of the universe, all powered hand tools (drills, angle grinders, etc) will have two parallel flat sides so you can easily clamp them in a vice. and when you set a drill down or hold it against a square or wall or w/e, the spindle will be parallel with the work surface

#personal #keeping it fun and funky fresh #this drives me Fucking Nuts man #sick of all these curved non-parallel non-square surfaces #like obvs the handles need to be ergonomic but why is EVERYTHING all swoopy #it's for aesthetics obvs & also bc curved shapes are self-bracing so the manufacturer can use less material #but Come On #this is such an obvious functionality upgrade!!#tools

Today was kind of singularly awful in some really trying ways.

I had a solid screw knocked loose by the end of it I swear

#speculation nation #first hour or so. the internet was down :)#which meant we had to take payments offline & delivery drivers would come in and we'd have to Start the orders then #bc we straight up couldnt receive orders bc we had no fucking internet #we got it online. but the label printer wasnt working still. which SUCKS.#& i went another 2 hours dealing with this shit. straight up had to get support to call about it #& they took remote control of the system to do a reconnection. so after 3 hours we finally had a label printer #but NOT IN TIME for the fucking. 10 drink order i had to make.#3 guys came in and ordered on the kiosk and i went to check the tablet (bc it didnt print labels so i just had to go off that)#and saw 10 fucking 'error: printer disconnected' warnings. & i was just like 'say sike Right Now'#opened it up and sure enough there were 10 fucking drinks there. UGH.#they were nice at least and tipped $5 in cash. so like. it couldve been worse.#i straight up skipped my class man i could NOT have handled that #i did a little reorganizing of the front bar ice bin area. so it's much more ergonomic. im very proud of it.#and here i am at home. probably gonna go to bed soon bc i nearly lost my mind today. lol.
