  • Have 2 sets of goals, one set is measurable and achievable near term, this can be as simple as going to bed on time or doing one proper pushup or saving $5 this week. The other set of goals are for your dreams or ambitions, have something in mind worth fighting for, they don’t have a set timeline and you may not ever reach them but if you do you’ve accomplished your life goals or set up the future so someone else can get there. The important part is to have the goals and start to figure our what steps you need to get there.
    Don’t feel guilty about just enjoying life, if you enjoy getting your guilty pleasure just drop the guilt part, that’s not to say go ahead and spiral out of control but you are allowed to enjoy things that are within your reach.
    People will offer to help you with stuff. fucking let them help you, people like to feel needed and feel better when they get to help you, stop feeling guilty about accepting help. you are letting them help so that they feel good about themselves and you might accidentally form bonds with other humans.
    It is ok to be bored, healthy even. Do absolutely nothing once in a while, no music, no phone, no background noise. Just let your mind wander and decompress. I use my evening commute for this, except on science friday, imma learn about some shit on fridays, like how it is ok to be bored sometimes.











  • You skipped this part:

    Echoing a statement from the American College of Radiology after the study’s release, she stressed that the study’s projection of cancer diagnoses from CT scans was based on statistical modeling, not actual patient outcomes.

    There are no published studies directly linking CT scans to cancer, the statement says. “Americans should not forgo necessary, life-saving medical imaging and continue to discuss the benefits and risks of these exams with their healthcare providers,” it continues.

    You can tell whatever story you want from statistics, it could be that people that get CT scans have a higher chance of getting a cancer diagnosis because they are getting medical care and others just go undiagnosed.

    The point isn’t that CT scans cause cancer, that was always a risk with any ionizing radiation. The point is that radiation exposure from CT scans varies wildly based on the operator and you should do what you can to reduce your exposure, but don’t skip a CT because of a scary headline.





  • still playing kerbal space program, still tweaking steam input to handle all the keys I need to press. Feels like my steam input setup is as jank and hobbled together as my rockets, although I kinda feel like the original keyboard controls were already kinda jank.
    I’m getting ready to land on mun, I put a lander into orbit at kerbin because I was too wobbly with the whole ship in one go and I wanted to try docking. I get the command vessel to sync up with the lander and gently bump into it with my docking port, was super thrilled to learn that when I took the wobbly rocket apart to make 2 launches I must have removed the docking port on the lander so now it’s in orbit and slowly spinning after I bumped it. Now I need to do some extra missions to raise funds to try again.
    This game is awesome.

    LinkedIn lunatics can’t understand this. If your whole work culture revolves around who you network with and how your profile looks and not mutual respect then I am happy to work for someone else. Honestly the people that crave power the most are almost always the ones that should not be in charge of anything. I’m fortunate to have an awesome job and totally understand you might need to take a shit job just to get by but the lunatics don’t understand that it doesn’t have to be this way.
