I'm sick of hustling to get paid.  The biggest downside of being self-employed is when your good customers fall behind a bit on their bills.  Four weeks behind.... I need $$$

[ttzhou]

I keep waking up after 4 hours of sleep, can't fall back asleep, and need to drink coffee during the day to stay awake at work, and the coffee for some reason perpetuates the cycle. I'm in zombie mode right now.

Do you look at some electronic device (smart phone, tablet, PC) just before going to bed?

If so, the blueish light emitted from them tricks your brain into waking up.

I suffered from this too, except after only 1-2 hours sleep.

I switched to reading a paper book by a low wattage bulb before sleeping, now I can sleep for hours before waking.

I've been doing that for like, 15 years of my life. Why did it have to start sucking now... lol.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. It'll be hard though!

Being forced out of my house because my room-mate wants to live with his gf, dude didn't even have the balls to approach me about it and I heard of his plans through mutual friends. So now I somehow need to come up with 6 weeks rent to move into my own place, no more keyboard purchases for me any time soon

It will work out much better for me in the long run but **** that guy for the way he's handled this ****.

I hope you don't live near a mining area, I lived in a less than standard area once but the mines nearby put the rent through the roof.

Attempted to buy my first clack. Next day ensues. Seller, apparently, was running late and somehow drops the clack. The clack apparently sustained so many injuries, he no longer could sell it.

I have the feeling I was lied to. Stranger things have happened. At least I got my payment back in full immediately.

Just odd.

Luckily the vacancy rate has been on the increase lately, it should be much cheaper and easier to move than if I had moved last year. Still a pain in the ass, I've been diligently saving up for a car the last few months and this will totally wipe me out. **** happens I guess.

In all the scenarios I've come up with, it doesn't really make sense. A single drop, from average person height, on any surface (excluding hot lava), won't hurt the keycap.

Let's just move on and not make sense of it lol

My internet is now too slow for Speedtest.net to even load, which makes it worse than this morning... and this morning I was getting 0.01mb/s

I'm having to steal a neighbors internet simply to reply to the moronic support emails I'm getting from BT...

a certain friend of mine on geekhack is again uncontactable... and he owes me a lot of stuff

I'm intensely frustrated but don't feel like I can do anything.

V1's were known to be kinda flimsy, I know I've seen a couple of broken ones before. A Clack though? Very doubtful IMO.

[demik]

Maybe the person got a better offer and couldn't find a way to tell you he doesn't want to sell it to you.

Or maybe they are telling the truth. We will never know.

Wowza. At least you got a good anecdote that includes a picture lol.

True. I'd prefer the honesty in the situation though. I could at least understand that, instead of trying to make sense of some weird excuse after they took my money. We shall never know indeed.  :))

[demik]

Yeah, that would be nice.

But you'll come to find out there is a lot of *****-ass ness on GH and surrounding artisan caps, sadly.

Either way, good luck on getting your first clack.

wow that's a sad sight.... I have always wondered how durable these artisans are (and of course it varies from cap to cap). That's awesome that he didn't just send you the broken cap Punks and claim it broke en route! Gentleman indeed!

Use your tears.



But seriously, I hear good things about some of the hemp based lotions.  And, oddly, the Purell aloe vera hand sanitizer that work gives us seems to actually moisturize and soften my hands somehow.

[demik]

Get too many cuts at work for hand sanitizer.

Learned that the hard way. Hemp you say ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[tp4tissue]

This is an old trick I learned from the Pr0z

Skin doesn't actually like all the complicated humectants..  It likes WATER and OIL

So what you do is, 

Soak your hands in warm water for 5 minutes,  massage it.

Then rub OIL, mineral/olive/vegetable (doesn't really matter),  into the skin.

THEN,  wash just the PALM side of your hand with soap..  if you don't rub the back hand side, the oil will resist the water and stay on your skin.

[demik]

Read that as pr0nz

Was about to say.. Not going to rub lube on my hands

[fohat.digs]

Weather is making my hands uncomfortably dry.

My skin gets much worse during cold weather.

Anyway, any sturdy lotion will make your hands feel greasy for a few minutes, but if you allow it to settle in, you will be fine after 5-10.
That watery crap seems to go away quickly, but that is because it actually really goes away.

Here is what I have found to be best:

I'll give it a try. Thanks

evangelion ending. finally got off my ass and finished it.

characters are good. on this merit alone I can see why it is liked by many.

everything else........... that's what bothers me. mostly pseudo-psychological BS that has no actual scientific basis. and the physics... eugh.

but hey, what can I expect from a cartoon with teenage protagonists.
