I saw that in my googling as well. I'm going to try it when I get home.
Well yeah. But do you have actual advice lmao. I'm epileptic and the computers are the only thing in game that bother me lol.
Steamdeck - computers in game have flickering screens
Unsure of what settings to adjust to fix it. It's bothering my eyes pretty bad. Also, people on screens in game are moving in slow motion, but that's not an issue for my eyes. Got the Steamdeck 2 days ago, so it's brand new.
Horses as transportation.
Today's On-Hold Doodle
Spent so long waiting for end-users to be ready for me to fix their shit lmao
I really like basic vanilla cake with buttercream frosting.
This hits so hard rn. Woke up and immediately started puking everywhere. Called off work and went to go get light food and locked myself out of the house. Currently sitting in the shade wait for my mom to show up with the spare key. Fml
No problem! There's a LOT of coal mining and steel mills and other industrial stuff in this area and it pollutes everything. The Mon river is a lot cleaner than it was when my parents were kids (they're approaching 50). There's a creek by me that I kayak in sometimes that I won't eat anything out of. The water failed numerous tests over the years and most people tell you to not eat the fish lol.
People out here just winging shit like the future of the country doesn't matter
The Monongahela River is pretty calm in rural parts. Local creeks can also be good after it rains but can have some rapids. I look for rougher waters because I enjoy the thrill. I also own a racing kayak that's meant for stuff like that lol. My stepfather has a sit inside fishing kayak and it does okay in shallower waters, but I always scout ahead to warm him of obstacles lol. Ohiopyle is also an insanely popular spot to kayak and has all levels of difficulty. Can't really say more without doxxing my location lmao.
As for fishing, I don't take part in it, but big catfish are very very common. Relatives regularly catch 1-3 ft fish. They like cicadas if you can get some when they're out. I've also seen people use chicken livers. A lot of people make their own bait concoctions as well. There are also loads of carp that eat the same stuff as catfish. Bluegill are common but aren't big enough to eat. I recommend being careful with where you catch your fish if you intend to eat them. Researching the history of the waterways to see their pollution history is very helpful when determining if a fish is safe to eat imo.
You also gotta be careful of water moccasins. They like to swim around. See at least one every time I kayak (which isn't as often as I would like. It's been a few years because my stepfather and I have been dealing with health issues and all the bullshit that comes with home ownership. Adult life, amirite. T_T)
Welcome to the area. I'm also in a place like you described. I hope you enjoy it. This part of Pa is absolutely beautiful, but you really gotta watch out for the crazies and drug addicts.
Because the call started off with him talking normally. I've spoken to him a bunch before today.
I work in IT and had a dude use the UwU accent with me on a call today while I was trying to fix his email. Made me wanna barf.
I do the same with my ducks. I have to make sure their pool gets cleaned and filled in both the mornings and evenings on hot days and it's killing me. My one duck is disabled and she has trouble cleaning herself all the way, so she gets sprayed off with the hose once a day. The birds are doing really well in the heat, which has been a relief. My dogs have been just as miserable as I have been. My cats seem fine.
Dealing with a heatwave in PA rn and I've been so sick from it. I'm very sensitive to heat. I've been doing all I can to cool off, but most days I just can't regulate my body temperature naturally* . Almost passed out today when I was catching one of my ducks that escaped the pen. I've been getting my shirts wet and just wearing them like that and sleeping with ice packs in my bed. I have a chain of box fans that are my attempt to get the flow of air from the air conditioner around the house. My house holds heat in very well, but is hard AF to cool off and keep it cool.
My mom spent 6 months giving her mother around the clock care before my grandmother died. Afterwards, my mom told me to put her ass in a care facility if she ever needed care like that. I said okay, but didn't tell her that I had already planned on doing that.
I do not take people who use corporate and "boss" jargon seriously at all. Like, ever. Just talk to me like a goddamn person please.
Can't forget Squonk. The gross pig thing that is so ugly it cries constantly. It can dissolve itself with its tears at will.
What is an easy instrument to learn?
My hand joints are getting better finally and I wanna learn an instrument. The thing is, I'm dumb and have struggled really badly with reading music in the past.
Radar was looking forward to our weekly post-work nap all day
Every Friday, I work from home. Immediately after clocking out, my dogs and I take a nap. Radar was looking forward to it the most lol
Was unenthused at work again. Stuck on hold with a client for 45 mins. [OC]
Like last time, constructive criticism is welcome!
Treatment 20 Years Too Late. [OC]
No longer told I'm young
Not told that it's my weight
Not told that it's my mental health
She acknowledges my miserable state
Giving so many vials of blood
I hope to find a cure
Or at least some sort of treatment
For the hell that I endure
Waiting waiting waiting
For the next appointment date
Anxious for a diagnosis
To learn about my fate
The doctor could not tell me
What she thinks is wrong
She started me on medicine anyway
My heart sang a joyous song
More tests need done for a diagnosis
But that's not the most important part
Being given something to make me feel better...
I've waited so long to start.
My whole life has been pain
And suffering and woe
I never thought I'd be taken seriously
And misery is all I'd know
But now I have hope
To be free from this strife
To take my freedom for myself
To be able to have a life
My poetry is hella shitty, but I wanted to post this anyway because I'm really happy that my new rheumatologist is taking me seriously and I need everyone to know lol. I'm finally getting treatment for how shitty I feel after trying to get taken seriously for 20 goddamn years. Hoping the treatment works. :)
Does anyone here have any tips for making cross stitching easier on hand joints?
I have very painful joints and expect to get formally diagnosed with arthritis tomorrow. I love cross stitching, but my god does it make my hands hurt. I also work in IT, so my hands are in use all day for my job. I want to be able to craft after work to relax, but my hands just hurt and cramp immediately when I try to work on a project.
Do you like olives?
I need to settle an argument I started. My argument: olives are gross.
I will die on this hill.
Rosie after the vet gave her a cookie on Thursday
Then she got an exam and her smile went away. She doesn't like the vet touching her. It makes her nervous.
She also has allergies and was put on allergy meds. She's thrilled because she gets pill pockets every day now. I'm not thrilled because her medicine is $130/month
Work has me very unenthused. Decided to doodle about it because I have nothing else to do rn lol
Constructive criticism welcome. :)
Does anyone else crave fruit juice when it's hot?
I've been drinking so much coconut water (with pulp) this week. I've been craving it like crazy and realized that it's straight up my drink of choice when the temp is 75F and over.
How do I tell my neighbors that they need to stay off my property and not let their kids trespass. Joke answers only.
People and their kids like to come over unannounced, and without permission, to look at my ducks like it's the fuckin zoo or some shit.
Need some humor for this situation to ease my frustration
What is a command you accidentally taught your pet?
My goldendoodle puppy doesn't ever want to come back inside. I told my beagle "go get your sister" as I tried rounding up the puppy. Now when I say "go get your sister" the beagle runs to the puppy and baits her into chasing him into the house.
My dog gets upset when I play Minecraft. How do I make him see that Minecraft is great.
He's a beagle, if that helps. He gets upset when I play and just yells.
Got a bucket of babies to give to my broody duck. Their names are Salt and Pepper.
Mama Duck is interested in them, but not enough to leave her nest. She doesn't attack me on sight anymore though lol
how should I tell my new trashy neighbors to keep their puppy off my property
They let their new puppy outside without a leash and it just comes over to my property and gets into my things that aren't confined to my fence and scares my ducks. This puppy is a pit and is going to get huge. I'm afraid it'll get to my birds or dogs.
How do I tell the super trashy people that own the dog to tie it tf up? I don't want to make enemies with these people, but they need to get their shit together.
They're the only people on the street who don't have their dog fenced in or on a time-out/leash. The road is incredibly busy so the dog is liable to get hit really quick if it decides to run into the street.
how serious is a slightly chipped front tooth?
I bit down wrong on a piece of chicken and smashed my bottom and top teeth together. One of my top front teeth chipped. It hurts at first and I have a mild headache. It mostly just feels weird and gritty against my tongue. It isn't a big chip. It looks like a tiny slice was taken off the bottom of the tooth aside from the corner that touches my other front tooth.
Should I find an emergency dentist, or will waiting until Monday to call my dentist be okay?
I have a huge fear of my teeth getting fucked because I watched my biodad's teeth rot in his mouth and fall out, and my stepfather has constant tooth infections that could totally spread to his brain and kill him because of the severity.
I brush my teeth daily and the last time I went to the dentist, my teeth were complimented several times, so I don't have a personal history of tooth problems.
