Okay but no joke some of the best fries in my area are from teriyaki places. They know how to fry food well and the fries aren't ordered enough to be hot held so they're always cooked on ordering

How the fuck does it get into bone marrow of all places?

Also I was told that when we started to add artificial stuff to ourselves it would be things like cool robot arms and brain computers to let me hallucinate online, not that I'd be half plastic slushie

Depends on the person and what they were acclimated to as the norm in an area. I start to get increasingly disfunctional starting at about 75f, once it gets to 80f it is difficult for me to focus on tasks that aren't directly related to cooling myself down, and 85f+ my day is a wash

Bouldering gyms are like this too. The best climbers are the ones stopping what they're doing to cheer for and hype up the beginners. Mostly very wholesome group

I understand the time sync now. It takes me about 90 minutes from when the alarm goes off to when I'm done and I've got help from my mom doing things like getting me a hot water bottle and making sure I'm stocked on everything before she leaves me to my business. It would definitely be more like 2 or more hours plus a lot more exhaustion doing this by myself. My sleep schedule is completely fucked right now with everything other than dilating being in 4hr blocks

I'm still having the occasional bladder spasms but yeah it's not "20 straight hours of pain med ignoring spasms"! Got to say I think I understand the appeal of sounding even less than I did before. And yeah doctors have been all positive news so far and from what I'm seeing personally I haven't noticed really anything of concern. I do keep feeling like I'm falling behind like I shouldn't be so exhausted anymore or getting out of bed should be easier. Keep having to remind myself it's been like 8 days since surgery

Damn no wonder I hear so many stories of people falling behind on dilating that all sounds really extensive. I've got really good starting depth (like "don't put the dilator in further you won't be able to get it back out") and expected starting girth so I don't want to fuck this up

What was your dilation schedule like? Did you do equal times through the day or was it like split through your average active times and pause for sleep?

My first couple months is going to include finalizing my divorce, and in the last eight or so months my polycule has completely collapsed so I'm just by myself now, so I'm pretty worried about my mental health at that time. I'm doing everything I can though

I'm normally very physically active, walk everywhere, go rock climbing, so I think I'll be able to bounce back relatively quickly. Even at the hospital when I was drugged out my gourd I was trying to walk around because being bed locked drives me so batty

I hear people talking about how dilation becomes your entire life basically. Is that just because of how regularly it has to happen? It doesn't seem like that big of a time sync to me, am I missing something?

 

This is on my calf. I'm excited to have one that I can actually see without having to contort myself in front of a mirror, and I can show off to people without getting half undressed

(Reuters) - Videogame software provider Unity Software will target laying off approximately 25% of its workforce, or 1,800 jobs, the company said in a regulatory filing and internal company memo on Monday.

This is the San Francisco-based company’s largest layoff ever, with completion expected by the end of March, the company said. While Unity is not widely recognized outside the gaming industry, over 1.1 million game creators rely on its software toolkit each month, including the maker of the popular “Pokemon Go,” “Beat Saber” and “Hearthstone” games.

Monday’s deep job cut will affect all teams, regions and areas of the business, the company told Reuters.

The layoffs come shortly after interim CEO Jim Whitehurst announced a “company reset” in November.

“We are … reducing the number of things we are doing in order to focus on our core business and drive our long-term success and profitability,” Whitehurst wrote in the memo to all Unity employees on Monday.

While Whitehurst provided no specifics on structural changes to come, a company spokesperson confirmed there will be additional changes coming. This is the fourth round of layoffs the company has conducted within the last year.

The layoffs and company reset follow a tumultuous period for Unity.

In September last year, the company tried to impose a new “runtime fee” pricing policy, which charged new fees to its game developers if certain revenue and install thresholds were met. Following a developer revolt and a steep dropoff in share price, the company revamped the new fees.

Following the controversy, then-Unity CEO John Riccitiello retired, and the company appointed former IBM president Whitehurst as interim CEO and president and Sequoia Capital partner Roelof Botha as board chairman.

In November, Whitehurst announced the first part of the company reset, which included terminating an agreement with a visual effects company founded by the “Lord of the Rings” director, closing offices and no longer mandating employees work from offices. Monday’s layoff is the second part of the company reset.

Unity was founded nearly two decades ago by three Danish engineers, and gained popularity among game developers for its “game engine” that makes it simpler to develop and publish games across different platforms, such as via mobile or virtual reality.

It is also used in other industries like film and automotive for 3D visualization and virtual reality. After its IPO in 2020, Unity's stock reached a peak of around $200 in November 2021, but subsequently fell below $30 last year.

Shares have risen since Whitehurst announced the company reset.
