Comment on Popcorn! What's the best way to make it? in ~food
Bonooru Link ParentI have good luck with stovetop popcorn if I do three kernels first and once they've popped add the rest. This lets things preheat and prevents some hot spotsI have good luck with stovetop popcorn if I do three kernels first and once they've popped add the rest.

If I need to check what's open, I tend to cmd+tab, and if I need to open something, I use Alfred, so the dock doesn't get that much use.

- Timeout is my stretch reminder to help prevent RSIs
- Alfred is what spotlight wants to be. It's a shortcut that will let me easily launch apps, run scripts, search my file system, and a bunch of other utilities
- Amphetamine lets me easily keep my computer from sleeping during meetings and such
- Stats tells me interesting things about the state of my system. Mostly this is essential for the battery display and nice for things like cpu and memory

Bonooru Link ParentThe "solution" that I'm aware of is to have an external battery pack and stick it in a pocket/fanny pack.The "solution" that I'm aware of is to have an external battery pack and stick it in a pocket/fanny pack.

That being said, the decision to give up any equipment that is essential to making a hobby work can be a hard decision. It doesn't surprise me that you're having trouble doing it even though you haven't enjoyed it in a long time. It is only going to be harder when you've invested time painting them, since it feels like you're throwing away that time and effort as well.
I've been in a similar position with respect to skiing. It took several years and an embarrassing number of trips before I was ready to acknowledge that it wasn't a thing I was up to anymore (and that I was unwilling to put the effort into getting my body to the point where it might be up for it again). Definitely a different situation, but the sunk cost vibe feels like a similar thing.
It sounds to me like you're looking for someone to give you final permission to do the thing that you've already decided that you need to do and so let me be the first to say that you should do it. It isn't a thing that you're enjoying anymore and that's ok. Moving on is allowed.

It is less clear than it ought to be in the episode, but on the podcast Tom makes a point of saying that he was fine for the rest of the trip and has made a full recovery. The only change that ends up being made is that no one runs for the rest of the season. -

I started mine last week. I figure that will give me enough time to sit for a bit before the DLC comes out but not so long that I forget the controls.
