Here’s my small collection lol, I use all of them at the same time every day cause I have very little access to sunlight and theyre used to treat my sleep disorder. Behind the smaller lamps is also a pair of light therapy glasses

Some things worth knowing: they can trigger manic episodes in folks with bipolar disorder, and won’t produce vitamin d like the sun, as they shouldn’t emit any UV, so if you have a vitamin D deficiency you’ll still need a supplement or sunlight. And you need to sit within the correct distance from them for them to work properly, it will vary depending on the lamp and a decent lamp should tell you that distance in the user guide/manual

Try not to use them too late in the day, as that can screw with your sleep- if you dont have my sleep disorder you should be okay to just go by when the sun is up or has set, as a guideline for it being too late

Carex makes the nicest ones I’ve used by far (thats what the big one in my pic is, though an older model, they have nicer ones out now). There are some other brands that make less expensive ones, but they may not be as bright or have as ideal of a light spectrum. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I’m not an expert but my condition has necessitated learning a lot about these things

Wow, thats some really nice looking work! It looks nicer than something that’d cone with a barbie from the factory, that’s kinda incredible to me

That was fucking fantastic, what a fun way to hear a familiar song with new ears

Thanks for sharing!

Man, in the thumbnail he looks a whole lot like Robbin Williams

Frogs be looking mighty polite out here

Ahh, okay thanks for filling me in

Thats super interesting context, thanks for expanding on what they said!

Eughh 😬

I feel like that should probably be in a museum if its gonna continue to exist… It being part of a private collection and being sold feels kinda gross…

How is that not assault with a deadly weapon?

What does make big rocks into little rocks mean?

Is this actually shitpost? (I dont know anything about curling or what’s happening in the Olympics 😅 did Canada actually cheat or is it a joke?)

Forgot to reply lol. The local kink community has social events often on a schedule I can participate in, and its mostly just queer neurodivergent nerdy folks, so thats been my big community connection so far, and has been really good for me.

I just recently started going to my normal event again after a weird stint on a daytime schedule. It was lovely to see and catch up with folks again, and I ended up making plans to go work on a car with a friend I sometimes see at that event. It was a blast and we replaced a starter motor which was super cool ☺️

I’d really like to have more opportunities to engage with community though, so I’m hoping to find more ways to feel connected :)

Thats so cool, thanks for the plant milk history lesson!!

Sorry, I probably could have specified it was a clone and saved you the down votes 😅. I only recognized it cause I was chatting with someone in another thread on this comm and they told me about it, and I noticed the icon on the top of the click wheel being difference from the iPod (I’m a ui nerd so I like really enjoy interfaces, hardware or software)

Anyway, hope you have a lovely day :)

I’ve heard amazing things about Rumble if competitive PvP earth bending in vr appeals to you

I gotta give plasma another try now that we’re on 6.x, I keep hearing good things. I think I’ll probably still be a gnome person but if kde was in a better place than last time I used it that’d be rad. I don’t always love the way gnome is run as a project 😅

Knockoff toys specifically is such a fun premise for a wiki

Is it a known thing that they were dishonest about speaking to a lawyer with that situation?

I’ve been meaning to change instances and find a new home, if it’s known that they lied or mislead their users thats something I’d love to know more about

I think someone told me about those devices, can’t remember what it’s called- how do you like it? Love the yellow color, looks super pretty

I mean, I’m not a big fan of the carsal justice system, I don’t think sending this 80 year old woman to die in prison will somehow bring back the dead, but not taking away her license is kinda unreal

A no contest rather than guilty pleas and moving assets feel like they may be things she was advised to do by her lawyer but do feel additionally gross.

The culmination of it all definitely does not feel like justice. Though people in the comments here calling for her to die in prison probably ought to do some self reflection on how much they’ve bought into the notion that harming those who have done wrong somehow makes society or victims better off. Our criminal justice system sucks ass, institutional retribution has never been “justice” either.

What a fucking depressing story and miscarriage of justice.
