Hehe, honestly, I kind of enjoy the forced introspective time. Forced is a harsh word, but introspectiveness is kind of nice. I don’t really fight it all that hard, hehe. I do conserve water if we are in tough water times locally, but otherwise, I just make sure I have an hour free before I go in.

Hypersensory Autism, in my case. But both are relatively common, so could be what it is in many peoples cases here. For me a shower is so much sensory input, I am basically forced introspective. Takes alot of willpower to keep awareness and move to the next thing on the checklist.

Unless the water at the bottom of your shower is several feet deep, the water pressure in a shower is gonna be nearly 0. You can leave the phone off most of the time, just have it there to jot something down. Ideally, you want it as unobtrusive as possible anyway since the whole point of thinking well in the shower is not having distractions.

Mine just sits there on the checklist 99% of the time, and I just made the checklist in the same notes app, so I don’t even have to leave the app to write stuff down.

So many suggestions for putting your phone near the shower but outside of it… phones are waterproof now. I just bring my phone with me in the shower now, and use my notes app to write down anything I don’t want to forget. I was already using it for a shower checklist, since I find it pretty hard to function in the shower. Also doubles as a way to consistently clean my phone, which is a nice plus, I likely wouldn’t remember to specifically clean it very often otherwise.

If your phone has a charge port plug, make sure to keep that in during the shower, if it doesn’t have a plug, keep the port oriented down, or you may have to wait a couple hours to be able to charge after. I’ve had my last couple phones in the shower hundreds of times now over the past 10 years, only had it happen twice where the charge port got too wet and had to dry before I could charge it, and neither time was when the battery was low enough for it to matter.

Yeah.

They were elected long before they were considered terrorists. If trumps maga is eventually labelled terrorists, does that extend to all previous conservatives?

So, any country that has at least one terrorist organization in it is forfeit? Is there any country in the world with 0 terrorists? Even limiting it to only internationally recognized terrorists?

You can either embrace the ADHD, or fight it. Ultimately which you prefer is up to you and your individual situation. The downside of embracing it is for sure gonna be financial, the downside of fighting it is gonna be emotional/mental anguish.

Having a new hobby every month can be fine if you know it’s gonna be the thing. Don’t invest too heavily even if it “really feels like this is finally the one”. Or, you can focus on a hobby that does constantly change, videogaming is of course one example. The other thing is, you may develop the ability to steer your interest back to previous hobbies. Just know that there is a bit of a wall to climb to get back into a hobby you dropped, it’s gonna feel a whole lot taller of a wall than it really is but a little push can be enough to clear it without burning out.

Edit: joining a social community for each hobby is a good way to naturally swing your interest back to it every now and then.

Entertainment is valuable, it’s what helps us get through the stuff we don’t want to do. Looking forward to, or fondly remembering back on, the stuff we did/do for fun.

Budget for it. If what you want fits in that budget, and there is no other downside preventing you, then go for it.

I just grab an app that lets it increment by amounts other than 10%. Not as good, but doesn’t need root. If I gotta change the volume by alot, I drag the bar. Otherwise I just leave the button at 1% increments. Cuz yeah, my volume is like 1% to 5% most of the time, until I need to watch a youtube video, then it’s like 70%… then the next thing I do on my phone after the youtube video renders me temporarily deaf and everyone within a mile glares at me… and I turn my volume back down to 5% or less again.

Not sure why every single other thing on the phone uses a different standard for volume than video does… just a new loudness war I guess.

Yeah, I use Virtual Desktop, there are other options, but from my experience, there really isn’t… hehe.

When not playing on it, it’s usually a browser window. When playing on it, I use it for 120hz, cuz my physical monitor/TV is only 60hz.

I game on one virtual representation of my real monitor at 4k60hz, and one entirely virtual monitor at 4k120hz. When I am playing a game my sister wants to watch, I play it on the screen that also exists in real life. When I am playing just for me, I play it on the 120hz screen. They are one on top of each other, at the touch of a button they swap exact places with each other. I put the one I’m playing on currently at the bottom.

The main reason I do top/bottom is because the screens are quite large. About the equivalent of sitting a foot away from my real 55 inch TV, but the screens are 20 feet away for eye comfort. So I can effectively only see one screen at a time as they each nearly fill my vision. As big as they can be without having to turn my neck to see parts of them. The top monitor is tilted down towards me, and basically on the roof. Oh, I should mention I generally play from a recliner when playing desktop games, so even the lower monitor is tilted down to face me.

When I want to play something in ultra-wide, the virtual screen can be set to 5740x1080 at 120hz(equal to 3 1080p screens side by side, but as one screen, flat or curved to any degree you want), but for the most part anything that works in ultra-wide works in VR, and full VR is likely gonna be the better option.

Although most of the time I’m playing full VR games and standing to play them. No apparent screens there, just living in the game.

Possibly, I’d have to see if they can be taken apart. From memory, I don’t recall exactly what the handle fastener looked like, but it seemed like an unadjustable system.

That doesn’t look like a safety can opener, the ones that cut the side of the rim? Looks like the old style, like a swingline or something.

Thank you, hopefully it won’t be a long wait after.

I don’t know where the line is from, but gonna guess from context it’s “fuck a stranger in the ass”.

Umm, is it possible you might be taking this personally? Your response seems super unnecessarily aggressive.

Ah sorry, guess I should have tagged it as sarcastic.

The microsoft store sells games? I thought that was only used to occasionally update your xbox for pc controllers by grabbing the xbox accessories app. Never seen the microsoft store otherwise.
