I don't mind the USB flashlights since I am always carrying around a back-up power bank with swappable USB cables in both my car and my bag.
I'll have to check out the silicon diffusor I never thought of using one on any flashlight.. I'm sure there are some that work on any flashlight (sized to fit or not).
Yeah I definitely think it could work if it's done the right way There are some much needed functionalities that Lemmy has yet to offer that will make it easier to stand up instances like this (easier customization, better cross-posting, better admin/mod tools, and clearer documentation). But the idea is great and it could work with some patience and hard work across various different players in the lemmy game.
Great idea! Will be checking it out soon. A few communities I am moderating on lemmy.world are:
Would be interested to see how crossover might work between instances.
Ah! But then you need a dedicated hat. 😆 Definitely an additional +1 to any kit.
Also, what's this second flashlight with a silicone diffusor? Got a model/name for it?
Yeah I don't know if I could handle the crash and other side-effects. I already have so many other health things I am trying to manage and understand I feel like this would be another wrench thrown into the proverbial machine.
I did get a chance to meet with the therapist and she immediately was like "you have ADHD". All it took was mentioning my unending fidgeting and constant need to rush things and she already knew where it was going. I wonder if a therapist has the ability to administer any tests even if they aren't for the purpose of medication - more as a clinical confirmation of diagnosis I guess?
Thanks for your ADHD story btw!
I started adding an additional headlamp flashlight to my bags - in an emergency I may need my hands available. Has been the better choice when there's something I need to fix or work on at night.
Yeah, dang - thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it.
If I could add you myself I would. I'll check back in a couple days to remind you. Every vote for seltzer counts.
I tried to use Habitica but it always felt over-complicated, due to shoehorning each set of habits into the gaming format, for simple tracking software. If you can get over the extra upkeep I'm sure it's both fun and worth it.
Not me but my wife. If she is having trouble falling asleep I always remind her to play Futurama on her phone then she is out like a light in ~10 minutes.
I think from a business perspective a third-party app is still competition only in the sense that they are pulling away "numbers" from their own app, views, analytics, marketers. Even if they aren't direct competition it's something that they are competing against in a different sense. But your point is still correct - these apps are participating and aiding in a beneficial way even if it can't be quantified by their financial / marketing / product departments.
I appreciate that perspective. They aren't bad habits, they are different habits... and they work better in certain scenarios too. Convert those mannerisms to superpowers I say.
