Maybe it was a purchase, maybe an experience? What did you treat yourself to?
Just this morning, took my time poopin a poop
My bröther in beans, you’re gonna give yourself a hemorrhoid if you sit on the bowl too long.
I appreciate the PSA. I might add:
To avoid developing hemorrhoids while seated, minimize pressure on the anorectal vasculature by limiting toilet time to less than 5-10 minutes and avoiding straining with defecation. Prolonged sitting increases intra-abdominal and rectal venous pressure, leading to vessel engorgement and possible displacement of the anal cushions. Additionally, adopting a supported-squat posture (knees elevated above hips with a footstool) can straighten the anorectal angle, reducing the physiological “kink” created by the puborectalis muscle and facilitating easier, less strained evacuation.
To put it in layman’s terms. And totally not AI.
I was Bad and bought a couple hundred dollars of stuff for my painting hobby
Sometimes being bad feels so good though lol
I hope your new supplies aid in painting something cool!
I got my nails done. I’ve only had fake nails once, but I went to a wedding and I wanted to look nice. I got gel nails in dark blue with a cat eye finish. The ladies at the salon were super helpful and picked out a good color that matched my dress. It was awesome, but I don’t regularly pay $85+ for something that only lasts 2 weeks. I’ll get them removed in a week and get a basic manicure to help my nails recover.
They do look pretty fabulous though 💅
Ordered some nice handmade leatherworking knives.
The irony of it is that I accidentally sliced off a sliver of fingertip the other day with my current one. Damn things are like miniature guillotines, but if nothing else, it’s a testament to my ability to sharpen a round knife
I’m slowly allowing myself to eat more after a long history of dealing with an ED :)
What’s ED?
Eating Disorder
Nice! ED’s are rough, I wish you the best in your recovery.
You can’t fool me. You’re just trying to offload your pancake surplus! (I’ll take three stacks please…)
I bought a plasma cutter and a GPU. In the past I would get used GPU from eBay because it’s cheaper but the demand for them has made the market a little crazy and there’s very little price difference new vs used (UK). The price performance sweet spot seems to be AMD 9070xt (£550, ouch).
The plasma cutter is an old three phase machine that no one wanted because it’s 400V. However, looking at the circuit diagram there’s very little difference between single and 3-phase configuration so the plan is to convert it to a domestic supply or cannibalise the internals and torch assembly.
Lunch.
As in: You cooked lunch or got take out? For me either could apply.
I bought a slice of buffalo chicken pizza.
Upgraded my pc that had been running with the same specs since 2013 (except a 2016 GPU), and bought oblivion remastered. Any recommendations for the first playthrough? (No spoilers please)
There’s a special house (anvil), you should try and finish that quest early for an epic payoff :). Have fun, hero of Kvatch!
ICECREAM. the answer is always icecream with me
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 bundle for the Switch 2. Partly a treat for me, partly for my kids. I want them to play it like I did when I was a kid. 😊 Although the games look so much better on a 65" OLED than they did on my thicc TV back in the day. But that’s okay. I’m enjoying the updated graphics too. It doesn’t take away from the experience.
I’ve been desiring to get back into videography as a hobby for a few years now. And after I upgraded my smartphone to a Galaxy S23+, which has greater camera sensors than my previous Pixel 2, I knew it was time to get myself a phone gimbal. I chose to go with the Hohem iSteady M7. It’s got a learning curve to it that I wasn’t expecting, really. So I’m still better learning and remembering how to use it still. Should be fun though, in a month from now.
Some new records, including this gorgeous translucent green 12"…
A tuna hoagie and some chips.
A 36€ m710q Thinkcentre tiny.
You know, as a backup for my m710q Thinkcentre tiny.
Why do I search for that and only find it between $200 and $1000? Granted it’s AUD but still, where do you find this for less than a rpi?
On ebay.fr, no power block but otherwise complete. Mostly they go for more like 60-70€ shipping included, but sometimes you get lucky!
Ah, the ol’ “buy two of them” strat for backup and repair planning.
Comic-Con. Had a blast.
