Ravings of an Undead Cheese Minion

Winter is basically 4 months of feeling freezing all the time, except you go into a building and are sweltering because the heat is always cranked too high and you're wearing like 20 layers of clothing. So it's 75% freezing and 25% boiling.  In summer, you go from a nice outdoors temp to a nice level of AC indoors. 0% freezing, 100% comfortable. 

now I have to try and remember the last 5 crappy apartments I lived in when I was in Provo lmao, plus the summers I went home and what exact dates those were plus I moved around within heritage halls and stuff...dude I cannot remember all of this also I could've sworn  I filled this form out already in August but apparently it never went through, so guess who gets to do it again

trying to finish this piece of code before sunset so I can take a walk, and -- -___-

"I can't get MathNet.Numerics working in Unity." "Oh that sucks. Have you tried using MathNet.Numerics?"  Seriously, this is irritating; I already wrote my math tests in pure C# for verification and porting them over to C# shouldn't take more than a few hours...but apparently Unity doesn't like MathNet at all. And I used a LOT of MathNet. I do not want to rewrite them in MathF.  Still better than looking up Houdini issues though. 

In lieu of my drawing warm-ups today, since I'm short on time and need to code, I'm doing some quick research on how to get the most bang for my buck in the Drawabox 250 Box Challenge .  I'm only about 35 boxes in, and I'm on the struggle bus. Recently, I have had a few questions about it.  What exactly is the full purpose  of drawing the colored lines on each finished page of boxes?  What is the benefit of avoiding any sort of parallel lines on my boxes, and moreover, how exactly do I even do that without completely distorting my boxes?  So I reread the article and did some speculating and thinking.  What I gathered: the goal of the colored line extensions is to have them eventually all meet at the same point . No crossing over each other, or spiraling out into weird directions. Even if you don't have enough room on your paper to measure this, it's what would happen if you  theoretically had unlimited paper . So you basically just have to visualize it.  For the

1. Summarize our goal in one sentence. 2. Outline the high-level process of coding/debugging our particular issue. 3. Gather all necessary background information. 4. Do a more in-depth outline, step-by-step. 5. Outline the exact details of the algorithm. 6. Use TDD to fix the issue.

It's incredibly annoying to me.  I've wasted hours pouring over various studies, articles, and YouTube videos. I've lost sleep and exercise time. I've been distracted at work and while studying. I'm exhausted. I feel horrible.  It's impossible to find information that isn't super biased. On Reddit and in general, there's an enormous  circlejerk over finasteride (I'm really starting to hate that word) and how it's the only thing that will work. You cannot find a thread about hair loss without someone preaching about it. Yet, even if there is only a 0.1% chance of sexual side effects (it's greater: I've heard anything from 2% to 15%, which is a wild range), it is not worth it. If the incidence of  those specific  side effects is any greater than the chance of getting them normally, it is not worth it, because it defeats the purpose of trying to regrow hair in the first place.  At that point, I would just go bald.  My dermatologist prescribe

Unintentional comedy. 

I'm inching through the 250-box challenge on Drawabox. While I hope to pick up the pace in the days, weeks, and months to come, I can't do that properly until I adjust my approach.  I've been using  this model on SketchFab  as a visualization, but I still struggle with making my lines not parallel, while still converging to the same vanishing point. I think I need to dedicate a day or two to looking at wireframe models and sketching out how exactly these vanishing point things work.  I'll reference the wireframe 3D models for most of the boxes. I feel like I'm playing a guessing game with how things work internally right now, and I don't necessarily think that's the best approach.  Continuing. 

I’d like to reduce or even reverse my hair loss this year. My genetics are not good in this regard, and the whole “maternal grandfather” thing is just complete crap. Fake science. My Lolo Bob always had a lot of hair. Guess who started losing it in his early 20s? Thanks, half-white genetics. My brother didn’t get it though, or maybe he just started rogaine early enough.  I’ve learned a lot from my years of rogaine use. It seemed to slow down my hair loss, and I’d get baby hairs growing. But, my hairline was still awful. It wasn’t enough. I recently switched from liquid to foam, becuase I would wipe away half the liquid before it got absorbed, because it kept running down my face (since I'm only losing hair up front). I’m also putting on more than before. This has helped a lot. It seems like I'm getting some legit normal length hairs returning. Though, maybe I just noticed tinier hairs that were always there lol.  I don't want to use finasteride. I'm sick of googling tha

That's what I'm heading into the new year with. My most recent credits were the Rattling Iron Coaster at Ricochet Canyon, Wonder Woman at SFMM, and El Loco at the Adventuredome. Prior to that, I got a bunch of credits in August at California's Great America, with Railblazer as my #100. Hoping to get even more this year.
