  • What if I can alternate between both?

    Edit: I’ve looked at it a bit more:

    • I can make the black circles into “windows” that show a red circle behind a white wall.

    • I can also overlay the red circle as a mask in front of the black parts, so that only the black parts make the red circle visible (like in a shader program or when masking parts of an image in a photo editor).

    • Then I can also envision a red hue along the white parts of the image that follows the silhouette of the red circle.

    • And then I can “deactivate” the silhouette again, so that the red parts are simply drawn on top of the black circles, with no relation to each other.

    I think this is just a test to see if you have experienced a certain effect before.

    I’m still amazed that people just accept this.

    What happens, if you are ill for a longer? You can’t just work ethic an illness away.

    And it’s also stupid from the company’s perspective. If someone has the flu and you have them come in - well - everyone will be sick and everyones performance will suffer.

    Who thought this is acceptable, let alone a good idea?


  • I have “the aura”. And although I don’t know what that means, I’ve started asking anyone who asks me if I’m actually gay, what leads them to that assumption.

    The current top picks are:

    I look put together, I care about hygene, I clean my home, I’m usually friendly, I look happy.

    Like… their assumption is correct. But when did caring for oneself become a sign of the big gay? What are straight people doing?!

    Not even fully boiling. To quote Wikipedia, because I’m lazy:

    The liquid moves in a controlled, continuous flow while subjected to temperatures of 71.5 °C (160 °F) to 74 °C (165 °F), for about 15 to 30 seconds, followed by rapid cooling to between 4 °C (39.2 °F) and 5.5 °C (42 °F).

    Literally 30 seconds of “pretty hot”. And people are risking serious illness, even death, over some mythical beliefs about how nutrition works.


  • If you have south or west facing windows:

    Metallized privacy films have made a big difference in my home. For heat protection, they should be the weather resistant kind and applied to the outside of the window. (They should be removable without leaving any residue)

    If you want to try this method out first: Stick a few space blankets in front of the windows. Looks like shit, but it’s a cheap way to test whether this method might work for you.


  • Why is everyone in this thread Richard Byrd?

    Most people I know wear t-shirts at home in winter and heat up the house to compensate, wasting energy. This meme is clearly aimed at them.

    If you live in arctic conditions, then you probably already wear more than a shirt, even at home. If not, then feel adressed as well.

    And to the many people who are currently raising their babies at home: Scandinavian practices be damned. I understand that it’s not too practical to regularly wrap up your baby so that they can withstand freezing conditions. Fine. Turn up the damn thermostat. You already have a screaming infant at your hands.

    Everyone else: stfu.
