    There was a feature I had on android several years ago where you could limit notification sounds by time. You could pick from 1 to like 10 minutes. The first one would ping you and the rest for that timeframe would be silent notifications until the timeframe ended and treated the next one like normal.

    Edit: still a feature on the texting app I use, Textra. I like their features so much I paid for it and keep reverting back when trying stock or anything else. I’m sure there’s some big flaw I don’t know about since it’s an old SMS app though.




  • If I miss a part on commentary, I lose out on the video explanation. If I miss part of the movie, why the hell are these people trying to kill each other. Different levels of impact where rewinding just a few minutes and not going back to the beginning for exposition and reparsing it all back together.


  • As one of the “young” people at least when it comes to the Beatles, I don’t hate the Beatles but I absolutely don’t get the hype living decades after their big run. A few songs are annoying because of overplaying. That colors the band to a lot of people my age. I find them mostly boring and seeing the hype at the time is wild, but so will the people 20 years from now for my music. When people feel like it’s over hyped then they “hate” it. I find most of the Beatles music as inoffensive and a little boring. Don’t hate it but don’t care for it. I think most haters probably feel similar but being controversial makes the conversation more interesting.







  • In college I had support to do something very similar to engineers without borders just under a different name but in conjunction with the program. They required a certain donation level to ensure that the work we did had the needed materials paid for and could compensate the local workers involved. That’s what I was told. I wasn’t auditing anything but it seemed above board. I was able to engage with doctors without borders members while there. All were committed to the cause. Many were from the same part of the world if not “state/province” and giving back after they were able to make more money elsewhere. Just about all were hardcore. We have 5000 to treat in 7 days type of hardcore. Bedside manner wasn’t what you’d expect in the US, but it was about helping as many people as you could as effectively as you could. Truly eye opening though. I can’t say anything about the organization, but the people who were first hand there either gathered the donations or donated themselves and went there to make a difference. I respect the hell out of those people.




  • My SO upgraded to a Ryzen 5600 and 6600 GPU from a 1050TI and some integrated old CPU and saw massive improvements for BG3. I don’t know the integrated CPU but I think that made the difference for this game. Loading in went from crashes or naked people to no issue at all.

    I gifted that card to my SO mid scalping days to relieve their integrated CPU some work and it held the entire time (3 years). They got a great deal on a CPU and GPU and accessories for like 400 USD this year. Ryzen 5600 and the AMD equivalent of a 3060 (6600?) and with some PC building tools on top of it. BG3 went from a mess at act 3 to buttery smooth. i think it went from low to high settings as well. Great card all in all. The CPU made the difference in this case (I think).
