whynotzoidberg,

Came here to say this. If you do a 360, you turned around twice.

whynotzoidberg,

I have a Soda Stream and use powders. The trick is to turn your powder into a “syrup” first.

Mix your powder with 1-2 oz of water, stir it well (I use a hand held milk frother), and then put that into your bubbly water.

If you take care of your parents or other elderly, how are you preparing to age gracefully?

Experiencing firsthand how difficult an aging alcoholic, quadriplegic, post stroke, narcissistic, demented or simply ‘nothing’s wrong with me, I can drive, I don’t need those meds, I don’t need to go to a nursing facility’ kinda parent surely gives you some insight on what to do, what not to do and how to prepare for...

whynotzoidberg,

I think you hit the nail on the head.

Where you live is one thing, but how you face the world is another. As we age, it seems that we have increased challenges in the areas you note.

Trust becomes harder. Acknowledging our own faults and cognitive degradations becomes harder. Making decisions becomes harder. And desire to remain autonomous becomes stronger. Those things don’t jive too well.

One more thing to add: maintain a community of similarly-aged peers. Otherwise, one might feel like they are on an island.

This is based on my experience caring for an elderly family member.

whynotzoidberg,

Maybe it’s just important to stay generally social with folks of all types, as perspectives and conversations keep us young? Is that a good maxim?

whynotzoidberg,

They might miss out on the convenience of AirPlay, though. AFAIK you cant do DLNA streaming to the Apple TV.

AirPlay really bridges the gaps for me, wrt having any app available on my tv at any time.

Combined with steam connect, it’s a decent multi use box with solid, non-intrusive updates. Just wish the garden wasn’t so unnecessarily walled.

whynotzoidberg,

I’ve just started a Zulip POC and it’s been decent so far. Definitely resembles Discord.

whynotzoidberg,

‘Well done or none’ is the general rule.

Not in Wisconsin

whynotzoidberg,

Mobile is great for consuming. It’s not as great for creating.

More consuming and less creating sounds like a good way to slow progress.

The obvious next leap is full-on Idiocracy.

whynotzoidberg,

Maybe my stainless is just seasoned well… no significant taste changes to me whether I load up anything from an Americano to instant decaf.

The vibe is nicer from ceramic, though. Especially if it’s the old, diner style ceramic. I’m a bit of a sentimentalist, I guess.

whynotzoidberg,

Nah, it’s actually pretty dope. Scrub daddy, scrub mommy, and the scrub wand — I’m all in, baby.

Legit, the scrub daddy franchise is a lesson in great “KISS” product design.

whynotzoidberg,

What was it that clicked?

whynotzoidberg, (edited )

Gah, I miss those days. I had a personal video on YouTube from the early days. Something or another flagged it — probably the audio I used for the cheap “credits” I put in — and the video went away.

More recently, grandmas birthday video. It got taken down a year later, likely because I had short, edited clips of Peanuts included. 🙄

Oh, and you mean Justin.tv.

whynotzoidberg,

It’s fast food. Not wait-for-surge-pricing-to-come-down food.

whynotzoidberg,

Same reason a remote control is handy for a TV — convenience.

Motion or presence sensing. Timers. Virtual buttons. Physical buttons in places I wouldn’t normally have them. Garage door opening automagically when I pull in the driveway with a specific vehicle. Etc.

Plus I get to check in on my kitty from far away.

whynotzoidberg,

OP — Plex is a step easier, as Plex brokers the connection. No reverse proxy. The same plus in this case can also be seen as a minus.

I’m still on the Plex bus, and it’s good for me and friends. Jellyfin will get there one day, but right now it’s just not quite feature complete enough for my use cases.

whynotzoidberg,

This echo chamber gets LOUD, too!

whynotzoidberg,

When I read this, I feel like I’m reading my grandfather’s email forwards from the early 00’s.

whynotzoidberg,

For example, a big glob of hot glue in and around the affected area.

Glue will insulate and help mitigate more breakage.

I usually just use good electrical tape. Sometimes I splint broken cables with a couple plastic floss sticks, too.

whynotzoidberg,

Everything in moderation.

whynotzoidberg,

Well, yeah, I did say everything ;-)

whynotzoidberg,

Similar boat. I’m still on the Plex train, but otherwise I share the same story and recommendation.

whynotzoidberg,

And a smaller volume capacity. I finally grabbed an air fryer and we use it most days. I didn’t expect to like or use it so much.

whynotzoidberg,

It’s not an easy bake oven. Try one out. It also does vegetables and chicken, if you’re not just into eating brown.

Ours is medium sized and is great for dinner-for-2.

whynotzoidberg,

You ever suck dick for nicotine?

whynotzoidberg,

Imagine it? Living it.
