Repetitive strain injuries, yeah. Bad wrist/finger technique isn't just a problem for typists. Learn the right tech up front and save yourself pain later, trust me on this.

I don't think you can go wrong either way, but based on what you've shared, my rec is piano/keys. Consider picking up a cheap MIDI keyboard with USB MIDI out so you can plug it into a PC or smartphone. From there you're limited only by your skills and imagination, assuming your gear is in good working order. There's a lot of good free virtual instrument options out there which should let you get your feet wet enough to decide whether you wanna jump in all the way. I know of Surge XT and Vital for synthesizer instruments, I'm not sure what all's out there for orchestral/acoustic sample packs, sorry.

If you wanna get serious with any instrument and you can afford it, consider taking lessons as well so you learn proper form and techniques to reduce the chance of injuring yourself.

Godspeed, comrade!

Open with a joke, even if it's corny. Tell a story from when you first met your bro's partner. Keep it short, sweet, and heartfelt and everyone will appreciate it. It really helps if you can point to a time when you knew they were right for each other.

But don't overdo it, you probably only need to fill a couple of minutes at most. Close with an invitation for everyone to share in the love they (hopefully) feel for each other and some statement welcoming the two families in joining together.

Good luck and congrats!

Every time I read stuff like this I think about the infomercial where the guy's carrying 50 pounds of food and trying to sit down on his couch. He's stumbling, food is flying everywhere, his task is obviously impossible because he's chosen to carry all this shit. The clear solution is to stop carrying so much, but that can't be the answer because he's entitled to all his treats!

Wait, do they want to stop it?

Whether you get a medicated cream/spray or not, be sure to keep yourself clean and DRY to make yourself less hospitable to the fun guys. Good luck

How can you expect a poster of Elon's voluminous prolific (dare I say: virile??) profile to spend time Grok-ing every Xeet? He's saving the world with posting!

I'm so stoked to try it. I've had well made chocolate babka before and it was transcendent. Ready to put my skills to the test peppino-square-up

All-timer post, thanks for sharing. Want to make this soon.

 

Me: Daughter, isn't it weird how every Guild member, when they get the upper hand on a member of the Port Mafia or Agency, they remark how they're only fighting because it's a job, and without their job they'd be dead or on the streets? It's very similar to how in the real world, people take on and stay at unfulfilling jobs, or even jobs that are detrimental to society as a whole, instead of doing what they really want to do. People are forced into these situations and they can find themselves performing morally questionable deeds because the alternative means losing their job, losing the means to support themselves, and could even lead to them losing their lives.

The Guild characters in part represent the modern alienated worker, and in this way offer a critique of the western capitalist mode of production, namely its reliance and insistence on worker alienation and precarity...

Her: Hey Dad, aren't Chuuya and Dazai so cute and gay together?

Me: Yes.

The show really has something for everyone.

 

I spun up an instance of paperless-ngx on my Docker host a couple days ago, and just yesterday got my document scanner configured to send things to its Consume folder. So far I'm beyond impressed and I wish I'd learned about it much sooner! I run a FreeNAS server which has collected a lot of important documents in its 10 years of life... all of them arranged in folders as best as I could. Fuck folders, tags are the way.

It was easier than I expected to get the container running and tell it to watch a folder on the FreeNAS share. So I have a decade of pseudo-organized archives to import? Click and drag the folder, and it's done. Amazing.

The automatic tagging seems OK so far. If I'm working on several documents of a similar provenance it starts suggesting appropriate tags after I manually tag about 10 or so. I'll be interested to see how it does as I train it more.

I was never going to pay for a service like this, even though I really needed it. Finding out about paperless has been a revelation for me, haha. And on top of that it's the most "just works" of anything I've tried self-hosting so far. Easy to set up, and it seems feature-rich with a good UI. What's not to love? penguin-love

Anyone else out there using paperless-ngx and have any tips or tricks to share? Things you wish you knew before?

got to hear this at one of Simon's DJ sets in the early '00s and it's been one of my favorites ever since
