My mum.
Z-Wave. I could never get it working quite right despite purchasing highly recommended Aeotec stuff.
The MultiSensor 7s and door sensors would always report a battery level of 100%, fall off the network, and do other crazy stuff. I spent a year with a Z-Stick 7 before finally bailing a buying a fifth generation stick.
Firmware updates would take weeks because they just wouldnβt install. Constantly factory resetting them never fixed anything either.
I really hate to say it, but Zigbee ended up working much better despite living in a 2.4GHz interference hell hole.
Corporate media
Burger King. They've messed up orders, burned food, and drowned stuff in mayonnaise too many times to tolerate.
Now I just cook frozen burger patties on the stove, and tell myself that their sides were never all that great anyway.
Caring about my life. Im going to let the rest of this one slip through my fingers like beach sand. No need to hold on tight anymore.
Just be aware enough to hold on whenever you encounter a nugget of beauty
Why not? Still so much good and beautiful left... Saying this as someone who has seen more than his fair share of dark underbelly of society.
Sometimes it's really a dark day but seriously, cheesy as it is to say, the next day will be brighter
Politics aint looking too bright in the US. π
Biological 'family'.
My therapist told me that family members can't be replaced. I disagree. They can be replaced. They only become titles but titles also can be ignored.
You don't have to associate with, acknowledge or interact with the biological family members if they've proven to have been a contractual mess of toxicity in your life.
I've replaced members of my 'real' family and I got better people. People who care and support. I recommend it, to anyone.
Yes, thankfully my therapist doesn't say that but she does seem to say it's all on me to deal with and change since I can't change them, which is fair.
Thankfully I have a few folks helping me escape them, but it's a slow process.
I finally blocked my mom's phone number earlier this month. It's only taken me 7 years since she blew up at me in a way she couldn't/wouldn't take back.
It can be a slow journey and you might question it as you go, but it's worthwhile. And more people than you might expect are estranged from their families. I used to worry that my IRL acquaintances and friends would judge me for it, but nope.
I think my brain shut off because I read this like βHas Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Likeβ
Those bosses in my game that I keep dying on
You just gotta clear the biter spawners around your factory so pollution doest trigger a ton of waves over and over.
Once you get a car drive really far in each direction because nest you have discovered don't evolve from time passing/pollution/killing spawners. Bring walls if you can and seal up choke points so you get peace of mind and can work on what's important.
Oh, and look into how to make a BUS. My first playthrough was full spaghetti. The BUS saved my life. There are guides on YouTube
Trains are the way to go
Goddam traffic in cities skylines
My willingness to creat things for other people.
Less depressingly: the local pizza shop fucked up my order 1 too many times. Faith in them has been destroyed, which sucks cuz they're a decently priced mom and pop kind of place, but I can only accept a wrong/missing item if I get a refund if it's not literally half or more of the time I go to your place of business!
Talk to them man. Faith needs propping up from both sides. So invest in it and say, ideally before your next order, what happened and if they please could try. It may seem as much but it may just make your experience better
I already tried that, thus my frustration. Only so many times you can have them respond in an annoyed manner with that "of course we won't fuck it up" attitude only for it to be messed up in the same way again
Try appletv, a pirate ship and plex
It worked well for me until at some point the audio in Plex was slightly off and there was no way to adjust anything in this damn app. I was not alone with this issue but they never did anything about it.
I hate how corporate Plex has become. Instead of making their apps better, now it's how many "free" services they can try and get you to use.
All I wanted was my hosted media. And to easily share that with family without having to manage user accounts.
I run jellyfin along side it, but Plex still gets the most use.
Trying to draw using vector programs such as Illustrator. Prior to settling on my beloved (Paint Tool SAI) I tried to use Illustrator, and despite the benefit of being able to blow up a drawing without losing quality, it just never sat right with me and always felt awkward.
Depends on the style, I think. If it requires any kind of gradient shading or texture, pixel editing software. If you can get away with just lines, colors, and solid shading, vector is good enough but it'll be easier on pixel editing software.
Nowadays I just work on massive files so that I can shrink them to size.
