[Image: Caption at the top reads, "My cat does NOT want me to read this book..." Pictured in the photo is a brown tabby with a white bib and toes lounging atop a book with a red cover. Closer inspection of the book's spine reveals the title to be: "How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You".]

Okay, so, looks like Google Docs might actually start implementing their rule about not sharing explicit content. (This includes writing.) How in the ever loving fuck am I supposed to back up 1,000+ stories that equate to 3 million+ words into fucking Microsoft Word????? And efficiently, for that matter?! HELP.

Sorry to bother you, but do you have any updates to your August 2023 post about good laptops to look for? I need a new laptop for work (data analysis), but I’m scared to pick one since I’m not too certain.
Hey there! I actually now have a website where I've got resources like this up in a more orderly fashion than tumblr; here's the link to the early 2024 guide to laptop specs. This is for standard use office laptops; if you're throwing a heavy-duty statistics program at your data analysis you may want something with a bit more oomph and a lot more RAM (in that case you'd definitely want a minimum of an i7 processor and absolute minimum 16GB RAM). If you're using office-suite type software then the specs on this page should be fine for your needs.

eclipse glasses: NASA safety
from mhoye @[email protected]
Practical safety advisory: Given the stakes, I wondered if there was a way to independently validate that the "eclipse glasses" we're buying actually do a damn thing. There is, and NASA has got us: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14395

Listen, puffs is good because they are fluffy and might get even moreso, but nibs is excellent because then you can call the individual kittens "nibbles" or "niblets".
Edit: It may be redundant, but they could be Coco Beans!

So! NerdyKeppie is working on a test program to permit exchanges of our clothing for size/fit purposes. This will be a little long, so bear with me.
As most of you know, our clothing is produced to order. This approach is part of what permits us to offer most of our patterns in over a dozen different flags as a matter of course (currently: Ace, Aro, Bear, Bi, Genderfluid, Genderqueer, Gilbert Baker/8-Stripe, Lesbian, MLM/Gay Men, Non-Binary, Pan, Progress, Rainbow, Trans). If we had to carry stock, we would have to restrict ourselves to The Big Flags, simply as a matter of practicality. So, as long as we've been in operation, we haven't been able to offer exchanges as a matter of practicality. We had nowhere to store the returned items, and we didn't carry stock or have the ability to sell those returns.
But on the other side of practicality is the reality of shopping on the internet. While we do our best to provide sizing charts and good images, shopping online has a certain amount of risk to it, and that risk centers a lot on whether or not something fits.
We are looking at instituting the following change to our return/exchange policy:
Customer's first item exchange: NerdyKeppie pays return postage on your first item exchanged, and we'll file the replacement order with our manufacturer as soon as the exchange is confirmed. You must still return the item & may be charged if it isn't returned in resaleable condition. Exchanges must be requested within 15 calendar days of item delivery.
Customer's subsequent exchanges: On subsequent items, the customer pays the return postage to NerdyKeppie, and the replacement order will be filed when the item is received in resaleable condition. Exchanges must be requested within 15 calendar days of item delivery.
1. What happens if NK gets the item back and it isn't in resaleable condition (odor, stains/wear, shoes worn outside)?
You can pay to get it back from us if you'd like, but we can't exchange what you didn't return to us in good condition. If this is your first return, and we've already shipped your replacement, you may be liable for the cost of the 2nd item.
2. Can I return things and get my money back if they don't fit?
We'll be happy to help you with an exchange to find the right fit for you.
3. Can I exchange for a different item?
We may permit this in the future if this policy works out, but we need to start with exchanging only for size so we can see if this works, first. Too many variables make it harder to assess for us.
This policy is not yet in place; we are finalizing some logistics bits. :) Once it goes live, we will announce the length of the test period as well.

Powdered sugar is sweeter. I'm about 99.9% sure it's a surface area thing, but it's too sweet for me.
(For anyone unfamiliar with the terminology: Powdered sugar is also known as confectioner's sugar.)
As customary, please reblog for more opinions.

There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

Good luck! I hope this method makes things easier for you 😊
A Secret Fifth Method (that maybe shouldn't be secret)
That poll on taking pills and such from the other day has got people comparing notes, and apparently the information I got isn't common knowledge or whatever?
See, my mom taught me that solid pills and tablets, you tilt your head back to swallow for best results; capsules, meanwhile, float, so when you take them with a drink, you tilt your head forwards to swallow them. From my understanding, the goal is to get them as close as you can to the back of your mouth for better swallowing.
So because the two different types of meds have different swallowing methods, and I take both, I don't take all of them in one go. (I mean, I don't even take all of my solid pills together, but I used to get heartburn from taking my meds the wrong way, so I'm inclined to take it easy with them when I can.)
Anyway, it probably doesn't work for everyone, but if you have trouble with pills and the like, it might be worth a shot.
