I’ve heard great things about these self-help tools from the Australian Centre for Clinical Interventions: https://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/Resources/Looking-After-Yourself/Social-Anxiety

Luden’s cherry cough drops for me. I can eat them like candy, and honestly they probably are.

I brought you into this world, so I can take you out of it! GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH!

I had a friend in high school who had an amazing sound system. He was deaf.

I asked him and he explained that he could feel many of the sounds. So while he couldn’t hear the finest details, there was a lot he could make out.

Join Toastmasters and they will (quite kindly) help you rid yourself of this in a few weeks.

I’ve been there a few times over the past decade. It’s a major metro city with substantial tourism. The people there are just like people anywhere else in the world in that if you treat them with respect, they will reflect that; and if you treat them like smug shit, they will also treat you like smug shit.

The semi-popular reputation Paris has is unearned and based in prejudice.

Check out a book called House of Leaves by Danielewski. You pretty much have to have an actual copy.

I have traveled extensively, and use this to generate my routes. You can restrict toll road usage, it can automatically plan your gas stops and suggest night stops. You can specify day start and end times, restrict the number of driving hours, and can even include brief stops (like for sightseeing) and it will automatically adjust your entire itinerary. You can specify your planned driving in speed in absolute terms, or in relative terms (as a percentage of the expected speed limit), and if you add or remove a point, it will automatically place it into a point in your itinerary which makes the most sense.

It’s amazing.

I also say “your phone is going off” as it can refer to either the alarm, incoming call, or other notifications. It’s definitely an accepted alternative meaning for the phrase.

I used an LLM to write some code I knew I could write, but was a little lazy to do. Coding is not my trade, but I did learn Python during the pandemic. Had I not known to code, I would not have been able to direct the LLM to make the required corrections.

In the end, I got decent code that worked for the purpose I needed.

I still didn’t write any docstrings or comments.

Made my day. Prime copypasta right here

Nothing is wrong with you. Flying sucks.

Choose an aisle or window seat to your preference, bearing in mind that one of the solutions to body soreness when airplane traveling is standing up for 10 mins every 30-40 mins.

If you can swing it, fly first class, since the seats are wider and you can more easily shift your body weight.
