  • Let’s not forget that the point of Proton’s services is encryption. The more points you want it to go through (Proton to Cal{SVC} to Android calendar app to watch), the more you have to relinquish that security if they aren’t cooperative/companion apps.

    For example, I use Proton on the web (through Tor, actually) because I get the security. If I used the Bridge, I’d be decrypting a layer just so I could use a favored email application.










  • I have worked extra hours on salary, because on salary I’m being paid for the work, not the time. If I didn’t complete the work, I need to keep working. But that’s the fault of my own time management or inability to foresee the complexity of the task or estimate it’s workload properly.

    Hourly gigs for me are always time constrained. You tell me my weekly shift before I sign and I tell you under what circumstances I’ll work OT (including rate, advanced notice, etc.) otherwise we have no deal.

    I understand that not everyone is presented with the same choice or available opportunities, and my heart goes out to them.







  • Wow, lots of comments.

    Before having read any replies, I’d already scheduled a doctor visit. Tinnitus being my first guess. Still, it’s limited to specific circumstances, and I have near-perfect pitch, so I thought maybe my mind was simply consuming/interpreting additional data. Still, it will be investigated.

    I found the Schizophrenia comments… interesting, because it does run in the family. I will make sure the physician is thorough and considers all possibilities.




  • It’s super easy to just collect then when you see them (even at craft stores and plant shops) and then it ends up kinda encouraging you to think up adventures so you can fill them.

    I’ve got some with sand, dirt, ocean/lake water, gravel, some with just air (captured a cloud/fog while high atop a mountain), tears, paper, burnt campfire wood, etc.

    My secret sauce is that I don’t label them so I have to try to call up the origin story in memory and I get an excuse to tell a tale whenever someone asks me about one.
