I’m not by any means a knife guy, but I read all your weird knife Wednesday reviews (and many of your other reviews) because they’re both entertaining and fascinating. The way your joyful reverence for the art and craft of knife design give your writing a kind of sincerity that is nearly extinct in modern social media (or anyway I’ve become cynical enough that it seems so). This Lemmy community (perhaps your work is available elsewhere, but I’ve only encountered it here) is an obscure pocket of intense, earnest, and skillfully delivered enthusiasm that feels like a secret garden or hidden library nook filled with nearly-overlooked pleasures.

You’re doing a great service to the community, is what I mean to say. And I could go no longer without expressing my gratitude. That’s all.

If you own a Tesla and you’re eating Chic-fil-a, it’s because you want to. If you sit in your 115–degree Tesla for 40 minutes and record it on Tiktok, it’s because you want to.

I write good code now.

I feel this. It’s exactly as condescending as “naive” and means basically the same thing.

While this was an interesting read over all, I suspect what I’ll remember most from it is the origin of the expression “a pig in a poke”.

Ah yes, businessinsider. My go-to site for information about astrophysics.

For me it feels like complete inability to focus on anything or to recall specific concepts (like not being able to think of a word).

This is a super interesting thread because I wonder if what I’m experiencing is even brain fog at all, or just ADHD. And I also wonder how other folks know when they’re feeling brain fog.

Like, do any of you have a test for yourself to know when you’re feeling brain fog (or inversely, a test to be sure you’re not)?

I’ve seen this pop-up before on my android phone. I think it’s something to do with your app (i’m not sure from your screenshot whether that’s a browser or a client app like Sync) not having permission to access your media files. You might be able to give that app media/file permissions in your phone’s settings and that will stop happening.
