Thanks.
I do eat fruit. Freaking love it. At least 1 apple a day, they are my fav, and often more. I try to eat veggies as much as possible and skip meat when possible. Fiber hasn’t been a huge focus for me, but it’s worth a shot. I’ve got a refried beans recipe I freaking love. I wish my kids liked it. My veggie chili is also great, but, you know, kids.
They need cooking classes, and education around how to properly estimate calories.
Nope. I count every calorie. I’m shooting for 2300 but struggle to hit that. I usually end up at 2600 or more. I cook 80% of my own food. I bake my own bread. I make my own snacks. I know exactly why I’m fat. I can’t stop being hungry. I feel full around 800-900 calories, no matter what I’m eating. (pizza is an exception, because I feel full around 1200 calories, so I avoid it.)
Imagine walking, chest deep, against a slow moving river, every second of the day. You can push against it and it works, but it’s hard. One slip up and you’re floating backwards. You know how to make progress, but it’s takes a shit load of effort and one mistake and you just. Fucking. Can’t. Today.
Add that into everything else wrong with my life. I only have energy for so many things. I have to triage. Kids, wife, bills, personal happiness, other responsibilities. Can’t do them all.
Trust me, I hate myself with every bite, but it’s the only way to shut up that hungry voice.
The UI of Prusa slicer is hot garbage though.
I’m comparing cura and prusa, so prusa wins by a lot. What are you comparing prusa to? Orca?
Fork of a fork of a fork.
Can someone give me a brief intro to orca slicer? Who is it made by and what’s it’s quirk?
For example prusa slicer, made by prusa, prioritizes user interface and has powerful almost modeling features (text, cutting etc)
Polite company: peace, rest, calm, something like that.
Honestly: people to leave me the fuck alone and stop asking me to solve their problems and take care of everything. I’m burned out on being responsible for other people.
I vote it’s anime.
Eh, I’ve gone to extract to drop samples or secure the site. There are valid reasons to head early.
I vote we launch the children as weapons.
I’ve only managed that once.
One of my favorite games. Still play it. I have the soundtrack on vinyl, it’s so good.
Yeah, I think I had the power too high. It’s a new-to-me system and is stronger than my previous (heat stick and a big pot). Lesson learned.
What does this have to do with games? Please remove.
I did end up dumping the whole kettle thru a funnel. Didn’t want the hop debris but oh well. I’ll rack to 2ndary and it’ll be fine.
Just wait until you get to nuclear chemistry/physics. We use invisible rays, which can kill you, to turn one rock into a different rock, which possibly can kill you. Only if you have studied for many years are you allowed to wield the magic transmutation beams. We create elements not likely seen in nature (possible, but unconfirmed because of their short lives). We create temperatures colder than anywhere else in the universe. We peer at the fundamental forces of nature and then fuck with them.
As a former Texas resident: The Texas government can fuck alllllll the way off with that. Design a city that doesn’t need cars and people won’t need to use them. Residents HAVE to use cars because the place is so fucking unfriendly to pedestrians.
Literally the last screen shot, lol.

Is somebody ever completely demotivated with everything?
Yep, that’s called depression.
How do you deal with it?
Medication. Time. Continued effort. IMO, success in life isn’t measured by completion. It’s measured by getting back up after you fall. Amount of progress isn’t the most important thing. Any progress, at all, is infinitely better than none.
Occasionally I have these days where I don’t feel like doing work or chores. So I’m thinking, why not just enjoy myself, do something that interests me?
Yep, have those all the time. I wait for them to pass and then when my energy comes back, I do all the things. It’s frustrating because I’m waiting on some unknown energy to decide to make my brain work today.
Typically I would then waste time browsing or watching videos, but that seems to make it worse. How to snap out of this?
Yep. Same feeling. I like a few videos here and there, mostly sciency ones, but when I start mindless scrolling, it makes me feel worse and I stop. I usually do something light activity, small task, to get the ball rolling. Clean for 5 minutes. Only 5. Set a timer. I can stop after that. If I want, I can keep going, but stopping is fine.
All of my recipes are physical. I find them online, digitally edit, then print and put in my recipe binder. I will not use screens in the kitchen… It makes them dirty and I can’t make notes easily.
There’s abotu 5 seconds of “mecha” in the trailer. Looks awesome, but that is sooooo brief.
