@shoshin meditation and walking will only get you so far, but its something. Right now im planning a 3 - 6 month island vacation ont he beach. Im fortunate

@shoshin During my injury and for a good year after surgery there was a lot of pain. Ultimately as you suggest that was quite crushing for my morale. I havent had any noticable pain now in many months and that is wonderful and my mobility is close to where it was (though i need to strengthen it with exercise and that is challenging since i am very limited in that regard by the injury)... but no no pain anymore.

That said even though the pain is behind me the stress from that expeiernce certainly accumulated and since i have yet to have a vacation since the ordeal started it may just be that i havent really truly recovered from the mental fallout.

It is kinda like being tortured for 2 years (and having doctors calling you a drug addict for begging for pain pills they wont give you) and then even when the torture is gone your not going to instantly recover mentally.

A series connection of parallel cells would be prefered over a parallel connection of series cells. The reason being that the control circuitry on a balancing battery management system is much simpler. The downside is that if a battery goes int he form of a short (which is how these things die a lot of times) it will take its parallel buddy with it. So simplicity has its draw backs too but int he end simplicity ultimately wins out.

@hans_w people dont really inspire me much in general. Dont get me wrong there are some people i get excited to talk to about interesting topics. But they dont drive my excitement when I go back home really.

I have been trying a lot of new stuff and it helps, but its more than that. I think i just need a vacation to clear my head.

@bonifartius yea that helped for a bit, been playing with mostly new (to me) languages for over a year now. But even then its hard to muster the excitement and energy that I should have, and usuall have.

@shoshin not a rest so much as a vacation. Coronavirus along with my spinal injury has had me cooped up for way way too long and its starting to effect my mentality for sure.

@robryk

I actually had it backwards it is 4 in series and 2 in parallel. Parallel is matching positive to positive and negative to negative. It will increase the current output but the voltage will be unchanged. Series is end to end - paired to positive and will increase the voltage while keeping current the same.

So here we have 4 in series which is 3.7 * 4 voltage, and 2 of those in parallel giving it double the capacity it otherwise would at that voltage.

I have been really struggling to find the joy I used to find in coding lately and I'm not really sure why...

A consumer tablet designed and shipped to run linux... pretty sweet, might need to snatch one up.

@alienghic

It truly is. I often use it when im on debian or ubuntu when i dont need information that is terribly specific to the distro.

@cwebber

@mc This might be great for windows users who are reluctant to switch to linux. though honestly I think most linux users, even those who install on mac, are trying to get away from "polished" in one sense or another.

@icedquinn Seems we finally have an explanation for dark energy

Its amazing I have any friends on facebook at all honestly.

@icedquinn I have a feeling I'm now in for a week of comments of various people speculating on if I'm a top or a bottom and why :) this will be interesting lol.

@hans_w

Depends on who is doing the slapping. You'd be amazed how much boobs jiggle when a woman is trying to slap you. You'd also be amazed at how much I would find tolerable in the presence of said boob jiggle.

@icedquinn

@icedquinn hahaha, you would :)

@cwebber I have been wanting to try out a Guix install for some time now. It sounds really cool from what I've read. The idea of rollbacks is really sweet.

Only thing stopping me really is most howtos for obscure stuff doesnt have a guix writeup yet. The nice thing about Archlinux is that it is minimalist AND is so popular there is an explanation on how to fix or do almost anything.

Maybe ill try it out on one of my single board computers where having rollbacks would be really useful...
