Ravings of an Undead Cheese Minion

If the Reddit app forces your music to stop playing whenever you go to browse it, and you already have autoplay off, you need to close the Reddit app and re-open it, while keeping music playing. For whatever reason, if the music app is opened before  Reddit, then it takes precedence and the app won't pause your music. 

I've gotten burned out from my workload before. It seems as though I need to exercise regularly, give myself creative time, sleep at least 7-8 hours a night, and give myself both indoor and  outdoor recreation time, if I'm going to avoid burnout.  So assuming that's under control and I still  get that advice, I do the following: Ignore it Do whatever I was going to do anyway.  When people see your results, suddenly you did a great job and they will have supported you the entire time (from their POV). This is also why I've gradually stopped sharing most of my goals with anyone, including family. No matter how well-intentioned, others will always try to discourage you. Remember, the majority of people are just going to spend their entire lives doing basically nothing other than the bare minimum to get by. So yeah, doing art for only 1-2 hours a day instead of 6-8 isn't ideal, but the majority of people who want to be artists are not going to put forth much, if any, ef

I spent probably 60 minutes this morning, after vacation, trying to figure out why my external HP monitor wasn't connecting to my laptop after having been disconnected for about a week. The cable is DP (DisplayPort) and nothing seemed wrong with it.  The dock appeared  fine because my ThinkPad laptop was charging through it, and my keyboard and mouse were working.  After extensive troubleshooting, including a restart of the graphics drivers, multiple dock/monitor/laptop restarts, a zillion power cycles, switching the DisplayPort version from the monitor itself, and an unsuccessful (read: permission denied on company machines) attempt to update my NVIDIA drivers, I finally realized that the issue was not  with the DP cable, or the drivers for that matter. My Nintendo Switch HDMI worked when plugged directly into my laptop and monitor, but not when connecting from my monitor to my dock. The DP cable looked totally fine and I cleaned the ports with compressed air for good measure.  Fo

This looks horrendous.  I am not using Google Images. Therefore, I should not be seeing tiled images.  Naturally, the feedback button is broken. 

I’m a summer guy at my core, and I'm bound and determined to make the most of the plentiful summer that is remaining -- but of course I also love dark and spooky things. Thus I thoroughly enjoy the first part of fall, basically through Halloween, before the weather gets super gross. September and October. Once November hits, I hate everything. That's basically winter anyway.  This may be my final full fall in Utah. I expect to leave by November 2024, though I might get cold feet again (all my friends are here).  Here's the outlook:  I will be emphasizing rapid improvement in all areas  so that I can fully enjoy next summer. I will be recomping (well, likely maingaining since I won't be in a deficit) and lifting, as well as keeping running mileage around 35-40 miles per week. No bulking yet because I basically want to do that from 10% to 13% body fat, which I'm not at yet. I'll maybe do a small cut in March. I will finish my review of CS and CG fundamentals, comp
