I also cut out more scraps for my EPP project, I'm at 180 hexagons prepared now!
I bought black cotton fabric for my halloween costume. I'm going to be Hecate, so I'm going to baste the fabric together to make a makeshift Grecian dress and a black veil/hood. If I feel too lazy, I will just wear my black cloak on top of the gown I make.

I would rather just bring a smaller reusable water bottle with me than my usual one and deal with that.

Habituallytired LinkI would rather there be fraud and everyone gets their claims approved/gets the treatment they need without going broke. That is what government and social safety nets are for.I would rather there be fraud and everyone gets their claims approved/gets the treatment they need without going broke.

Not because the medicines interact, but because it's going to drive me crazy that I didn't take my medicine the "right" way. It goes Capsules, large pills, dissolvables, small pills, ibuprofen (as needed). This order includes any medicines and supplements I need to take on a daily basis. Currently I take 6 capsules, 4 dissolvables, 1 large tablet, and 5 small tablets.

The first book was a great setup, beautifully written and the world that was built was realistic enough. It's the best-written, messy, horny, queer YA series I've ever read and I love it. I highly recommend if you love dark fantasy of any type.
I'm also still reading the Haunting Danielle series which is just a fun light romp, it's got 36 books in it, and they're all fairly similar, but at least they're entertaining enough to me. I'm on book 8 now. I have one more book to borrow for the month on hoopla, and I'll use it for book 9, and then go back to Libby and read what I have borrowed there. Mostly horror and paranormal books, though I am trying to collect all the challenges on Goodreads this year. For this quarter, two of the challenges are not my thing at all: literary fiction and memoirs. I try not to read nonfiction unless it's about food or sewing/fiber arts because they're boring to me, and I just didn't vibe with any of the choices for literary fiction, but I did manage to pick one from each section I'm going to slog through to complete all the challenges for this year. I probably won't actively do it again, but it's been a fun adventure reading so many new types of books this year and really honing in on what I really love to read.

Not every night is the same, especially for AFAB people whose hormones fluctuate throughout the day, let alone nightly or daily. What part of a cycle you're on can drastically change how your sleep is.
I took two at home sleep studies 4 years apart with the exact same equipment and got drastically different results. The only differences between the two times were 1. me (I am female, and aged 4 years from that point) and 2. I added a few more medications to my nightly list, none of which should disrupt sleep or change my sleep patterns. Neither test was really conclusive either, and my doctors essentially threw out the results of both tests.
I know my own data is anecdotal. I still firmly believe it, unless someone can show me data to disprove it.

Make them "ask to use" or whatever the setting is because otherwise you will always be using location, and it will drain your battery.
Adjust brightness settings on your TV based on the time of day you're watching. Nice sunny morning news? Put it on brighter, late at night watching a movie? Put on movie mode. Your eyes will thank you for not blinding yourself and/or for being able to see what is being shown during the day without squinting too hard.

I'm just incensed that these therapists seem to be using these tools DURING the session without letting their patients know implicitly, or (the better option imo) asking permission to use them in the first place during the session.
I agree ,I'm so tired of everyine who is outsourcing their brains to LLMs. It's something I talk about a lot at work because I'm one of the few holdouts that refuses to use any AI tools available to me for my work.

I think that's the correct use of AI in medicine, but using GPT to ask it how to comfort someone when they lose a pet if they've never had one seems lazy. How can you not think to say, "I'm sorry for your loss. It must be difficult not having your buddy by your side," on your own?
Therapists using GPT like google to ask it how to handle patient situations is insane to me. They might as well just quit and set you up with GPT before they go.
It's not so much what's under the hood that's the issue, it's the end-user portion that's the problem for most people. They're either used to how windows works or they're Mac users. Setting up something that isn't out of the box ready for the average person isn't going to be easy, and that's what they want. The easiest setup and least amount of hassle, privacy be damned.
