Ask Lemmy

Alternate history is one of my favorite topics, and I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

I am moving home today and it is too late for proactive harm reduction like "get plenty of sleep in the days before the all nighter". I tried to look for advice online, but just found loads of articles telling me how harmful and unproductive it is to go without sleep. I get it, I'm fucked. I'm not in this situation by choice though, so now I just want to get through the day as well as I can. I have plenty of help, so I don't need to do much physical exertion, but I will need to direct people and organise the last packing stages. Fortunately I don't need to drive anywhere, but I do somehow need to survive this. By the end, I'll have been up for around 48 straight hours, and I was pretty tired even before then (so tired that my R regular ADHD meds barely woke me up)

So I was wondering if anyone had tips that helps them when they're exhausted beyond belief but still need to function. When you're in a situation where you know it's unhealthy to push through, but it's too late to change that, is there anything that you find lessens the blow of the combo exhaustion at the end of it all? Staying hydrated is already on my list, as is getting some rest if you can (because even if you don't sleep, some shut eye rest can be good); I'm getting an hourish rest after posting this question. I'm typically not someone who naps, because I wake up even groggier afterwards. I know I'm foolish for hoping for some neat trick or tip to make today magically tolerable, but I figured it was worth asking.

I'm just asking if there's a Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed community (or any federated community/forum) that's dedicated to MicroNations here ?

I now do some work with computers that involves making graphics cards do computational work on a headless server. The computational work it does has nothing to do with graphics.

The name is more for consumers based off the most common use for graphics cards and why they were first made in the 90s but now they're used for all sorts of computational workloads. So what are some more fitting names for the part?

I now think of them as 'computation engines' analagous to a old car engine. Its where the computational horsepower is really generated. But how would ram make sense in this analogy?

Taking a cue from a graphic novel and the subsequent movie, is there any law in the United States preventing common citizens from dressing in a ball cap, face covering, cap, and sunglasses when traveling in public? Add a vest, and I'd say you've nailed that fashion trend?

I'd like to show them to people later.

This is a judgement-free zone, please be nice 🙃

Famous and infamous question. How do you cope with Mondays? Like really. Never happened to you that.... Mondays are just dreadful? Like today for me. I am usually positive but human after so, sometimes, it hits...

Scenario: this island is cut off from the rest of humanity (magic, war, space alien zoo, etc)

Which island is in the best position to maintain its civilization? Industry? Technology?

I'd probaby cry and find poison to use as food replacement 🙃

A ton people here posted in another thread that they were banned from Reddit and that's why they Lemmy....

You dudes do realize its possible to make another account right?

I feel like we're living in a Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire song ~~2.0~~ (Fall Out Boy did a 2.0 version of the song where they used more recent events.) 3.0 and the events in the song are happening at 1.25 times the speed of the original.

I think art deco is one of my favorites. It still has a clean, modern look that ages surprisingly well, even a century later.

Is anyone here so hardcore that they don't even bother with mainstream social media? If its not on Lemmy or Mastodon it must not be important? Anyone that hardcore?

Sort of relaxed, slow-paced, not a ton of plot.

I have lots of shortcuts i make on my phone and I have one i love that detects when bluetooth accidentally or purposefully disconnects from my speaker and reconnects it and fixes a playback glitch so its back to playing properly
