    What keyboards are you currently using?

    Jump

  • GMMK Pro with Gateron black ink V2s for my home desktop, Keychron Q5 Pro with Gateron milky yellow pros for work

  • Pixel 7 Pro has worse battery life than S23 base

    Jump

  • P7Pro has a larger screen at a higher resolution which will consume significantly more power. I'm sure some part of it is also due to inefficiency of the Tensor processor

  • A toddler lost in the woods is found asleep using family dog as a pillow

    Jump

  • Cute and sweet and all, and I'm glad she's okay. Really. But I'm not sure that "we couldn't find our child for a few hours" is news-worthy.

  • Sufjan Stevens is relearning to walk after Guillain-Barre Syndrome left him immobile, hospitalized

    Jump

  • Glad to hear he's recovering well. People underestimate the degree of deconditioning that happens after just a few weeks of immobilization and hospitalization. Looking forward to more great music from him.

    But also... Tumblr?

  • Libyan city buries 700 people killed in devastating floods as 10,000 are reported missing

    Jump

  • If you're interested and able to donate, check out a few organizations that are providing aid. I donated to the International Medical Corps because a Libyan friend of mine has worked with them in the past and vouches for them.

  • Does anybody know of a credible organization to donate to that is providing aid for the victims?

  • I May Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, What Specialty Doctor Should I Consult With?

    Jump

  • Note: my experience is limited to the US medical system, so things may be different where you are. However, I definitely agree with getting wrist braces first while waiting for your appointment. Schedule an appointment with a primary care provider who can evaluate you and recommend either medications or refer you to a specialist. Often times carpal tunnel can be managed with over the counter medications, wrist braces, and avoiding the repetitive movements that exacerbate it (usually typing in today's world). If not, then the specialist of choice is often an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in wrist and hand surgery, though there are also plastic surgeons that specialize in hand surgery as well.

  • Oh, and for anyone interested, this was shot with my Sony a7iv, Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens, aperture f/7.1, 3.2 second exposure on a tripod. The relatively long exposure is what gives the water jets that soft, smooth look

    Treating Parkinson's with electronic signal to brain

    Jump

  • Not knocking the technology at all, it really can be life-changing for people with Parkinson's disease. But it's been around for a while, it was approved in the US by the FDA in the late 90s. A chip is not implanted, but rather electrodes in the brain that connect to the controller elsewhere.

  • This doctor said vaccines magnetize people. Ohio suspended her medical license.

  • Doctors of osteopathic medicine (DO) are legitimate doctors (at least from my experience in the US healthcare system). They function identically to doctors of allopathic medicine (MD) with the rare addition of osteopathic manipulation. But their standards of training and credentialing are essentially the same. You'll find crackpot DOs and MDs if you look for them.

  • [OC] Raised Bridges in Chicago

  • Yes it was. The city had a super eerie feel back then, didn't it?

  • [OC] Raised Bridges in Chicago

    Jump

  • Oh that's cool, I didn't know the raised oar salute was a thing, but that makes sense.

    They sometimes have boats too tall to pass through along the river, but they just raise one bridge at a time to minimize traffic disruptions. Kind of a fun spectacle to see if one hasn't seen it before
