In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is described as the mental disturbance people feel when they realize their cognitions and actions are inconsistent or contradictory. This may ultimately result in some change in their cognitions or actions to cause greater alignment between them so as to reduce this dissonance.

I dunno, this might actually activate a brain cell or three in the government. I'm not holding my breath, but...

That would seem to be a failure of your client's or instance's Markdown parsing. The link works correctly from Mbin.

You can't enjoy anything but accumulating more money by the time you get to that point I think

I get a bit of this too on items that are flat enough to pool water on the top. I think placing things on the rack so they're at a slight angle is supposed to be the solution but it can be tough

I realize this is a meme sub, but for anyone who needs to hear this:

If you have a modern dishwasher, you probably don't need to do any washing yourself aside from scraping leftover food into your trash can or garbage disposal (where appropriate). Technology Connections has an excellent video going into detail. In short, make sure the water is hot just before starting the cycle, and don't neglect pre-wash detergent.

FFS. If this kind of thing keeps up I am not gonna be surprised if some sort of 'rapid response' ends up being a thing where the caller gets a visit from law enforcement "just in case"

This is not the poop knife I was expecting

Touch typing. Like I said I cannot find any reputable statistics. touchtypeit.co.uk claims "according to research" it's less than 20%, but does not actually link any specific research. There are some other sites like it that are trying to sell you a product and list a low percentage, but I can't find any actual studies or statistics

There is an issue on the Mbin repo asking for that as an option if you are or know a developer with free time

From the article:

Your eyes are your mouse when using the Vision Pro. When typing, you look at a virtual keyboard that hovers around, and can be moved and resized. When you’re looking at the right letter, tapping two fingers together works as a click.

So they were working backwards to determine the inputs based off of the observed eye motion.

I have a much less modern VR headset and you can definitely still type on a regular keyboard while you're wearing it. You can't see the keyboard though, so you need to be skilled enough to touch type. I can't find any reliable-looking statistics on it with a quick search, but it seems like that is not a very common skill

 

Title. I found out recently that I need some major dental work in the near future and I don't have a damn clue how I am going to raise the extra money. I want to explore any realistic options for increasing my earnings before I have to resort to taking on debt, and I suspect that soliciting ideas in a semi-public place like this will turn up a lot of ideas I would never have considered myself.

I'm not very physically fit, but I am pretty good with computers generally, and I've picked up a little bit of programming in my free time this year, though I wouldn't sell myself as a freelancer in that department or anything. I am also pretty good at proofreading / nitpicking things, my regular job is in QA.

Thank you in advance for any input.
