    As a web dev I hate the trend of websites relying on chromium-specific quirks, there are a handful of sites I need to use which refuse to work in any non-chromium browser, and customer support will always tell you to just use chrome as if you’re not a normal person for using Firefox. So yeah what’s wrong with chromium to me is that it’s the new internet explorer when it comes to web standards. Websites and large businesses can afford to just not care if they are following web standards as long as it works in chrome, and if you have a problem it’s your fault for not using chrome.



  • This is where I got it down to, mainly optimizing for paying for single sided assembly because I don’t like surface mount soldering:

    Each extended component incurs a $3 fee when doing assembly, and I think I found 5 equivalently specced basic components which shaves $15 off. I also found alternate sources for a lot of the extra accessories, tens pads, cables, needles. Everything included with all shipping, taxes, fees, a batch of 5 costs $61 and you only have to solder a few through hole components, assuming I didn’t break anything in the design. I think if I returned the design to everything on 1 side, if that doesn’t make the board too much larger it could maybe save $15 total (LCSC charges $30 for shipping, but if you move those parts to the front to be assembled too, for $15 in extended component fees and probably a comparable amount for the parts, you can eliminate the LCSC order).

    Not that this really matters that much because I don’t think I can get it low enough for my unemployed-ass to feel comfortable buying. But maybe it’ll help someone else who wants to make them know how low you can reasonably go if you shop around and tweak the design. Working on this is just my hyperfixation for the week driven by my dysphoria tbh




  • I’m sure coffee enthusiasts would accuse me of not liking the taste of coffee either lmao, I drink my espresso in a ratio of ~30% espresso 70% half and half. I do like the taste of coffee but especially so in combination with lots of cream and sugar, or ice cream. I’m very sensitive to caffeine though and even with decaf I can feel the remaining few percent of caffeine which still ruins my sleep if I have it after noon and it still makes me a tad bit jittery. Nowhere near as bad as full caf though.


  • I had similar effects from adderall, which is similar to coffee for me (jitters, feeling wired, sweating / clammy). I drink decaf a lot more to avoid that, and switching from Adderall to concerta (now I’m on 36mg concerta) which also helped eliminate jittery side effects. If it’s not caffeine withdrawal, maybe trying a different add medication is a good path. I would ask your doctor about adjusting dosage or trying a different option, since everyone’s a little different and what works for me seems to not be working for you 😅
