  • Given grocery stores tend to use the currency corresponding to their government’s authorized legal tender for use in payment of debts: a lot of small things. A select number of stores in different regions accept bitcoin one way or another, word-of-mouth to support purchasing with Monero through similar systems can encourage practical consideration of it. It will take the slow expansion of Bitcoin-accepting businesses to also accept Monero as value that can benefit the business. In general, I don’t know of any specific grocery store in my region that accepts crypto, Monero has an uphill battle to see grocery deployment.


  • Probably not… I’ve always heard people get 8 hours of sleep when it’s dark, but my whole life I’ve always had broken sleep that doesn’t return to sleep after waking back up, and after years of being unable to sleep consistently at some point I changed approach and just sleep whatever time I get tired. It slightly improved my physical and mental health at the time but my overall tiredness never really reduced, I just don’t stare at the ceiling waiting for sleep anymore. The times I get the longest sleep tend to be when the sun is up, which is a disaster for being on-call during daylight business hours.


  • Yeah, falling asleep while working at a desk for long hours straight. Not suddenly, but just overall unable to stay awake for major portions of the usual workday. The full-time position before the one I’m in now, I was at the office and would sometimes fall asleep during processing, or do orders on a sleepwalk autopilot, waking up after a few were submitted. It didn’t seem to really affect my accuracy, but it was jarring when I snapped back to. Thanks for the great advice! Probably should lower my morning caffeine, drink more water, and time my breaks instead of take them when I’m already burnt out… 300mg+ of coffee a morning without water might be too much too quickly. Limiting size of lunch isn’t an issue for me, I sometimes forget to take lunch entirely.






  • This is the first era in humanity’s existence where screaming into the vast abyss will get you a few digital screams of reassurance echoed back at you, sometimes hundreds. Historically there is no precedence for this, nor evolutionarily, and people are not developed catered to this modern existence. It is truly wonderful to get to exist in this moment in human history where not only can we shoot satellites into space but we can also instant message poo emojis to someone on the other side of the planet, and get their response poo emojis instantly, without having to wait for it to be carried on boats, on the backs of horseback postmen and on pidgeons.




  • Isopropyl alcohol (99% is the good stuff), maybe 2-4 cotton swabs, air dry. Dip swab, rub contacts softly, flip sides of cart, rub, cycle swab, repeat. I had no idea for so many years I was actually damaging the cartridges by blowing into them which just put hot air and moisture on dust. If you have any Switch cartridges or older, and haven’t done a proper cleaning, it’s amazing how shiny and vibrant the contacts will end up looking, along with the cartridge working more stably.




  • I was given SSRIs and after those caused explosive reactions later rediagnosed Bipolar Type 1 and prescribed mood stabilizers. The SSRI put me in an odd haze and stunted my emotional abilities to look more naive/childlike, with rare outbursts of emotion loosely connected to anything rational, ending in me taking midnight walks in bad places sobbing and manic the whole time. When I was prescribed Lamictal as mood stabilizer, it did work bit but I started to notice a split-brain where my thoughts and external body were disconnected and I felt trapped unable to actually express what I feel in my mind. Then those made my eyes bleed and got The Rash so I quit and gave up and stopped all mental health care, then later moved. The best thing I got out of it was all the eye-opening therapy and counseling. Things have gotten better since then, unmedicated, but keeping calm and meditating inward is still sometimes tough.



  • All of the games in the Tribes series, my personal favorites being Tribes Ascend and Aerial Assault. Tribes had a play style similar to Halo but with a movement more like Unreal along with a touch of ‘surfing’ over land and some jetpacks. They’re all great fun and still fun for me to play today. IIRC, the last game’s official online servers are no longer active, but there is a community following for Tribes Ascend that helps keep the game alive and updated, look up TribesLauncherSharp and TAMods for more info if interested. I backed up the disc I have for Tribes Aerial Assault to an ISO and it works great in PCSX2. With 1080p/4K rendering, extra graphics options, wide-screen patches, and controller customization it’s way easier to play than originally on composite CRT with a Dualshock.


  • The great part of federation is that users who want to use Threads still can, and instances who don’t want to federate with Meta don’t have to. People who want to double-dip can sign up for their favorite instance(s) of choice, as well as with Threads. Neither one has to have any app shut down and everyone still gets to make a choice as an end-user rather than be decided upon by an unmovable authority. Win win!
