So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

In my head the character doing that is always transformed into Bette Davis.
One of the things that cracks me up about TV and Movies is when someone walks into a room and says, THIS PLACE IS A MESS, and there's a shirt on the floor, and three dishes in the sink.

I can break down the word monotropism, but I don't know what it's referring to. Whatever it is, I apparently have it.
Monotropism Score: 190 / 235
Average: 4.04
I did the Online Monotropism Questionnaire survey and my results are:
Monotropism Score: 222 / 235
Average: 4.72
This score means that you are more Monotropic than about 95% of autistic people and about 100% of allistic people.

I was given 3 1mg pills. I took one an hour ago, another a half hour ago, and just took the third. I'm feeling nicely weightless and worry free. And they've got what might be the reboot of Tron playing in the waiting room, while I'm reading a Scalzi book about collapsing empires and foul-mouthed Emperoxes. I think I'll be all right.
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Hoping the Ativan provides you some relief this time or that they have another great drug that helps you. I had an MRI years ago and I have absolutely no idea how I managed it.

The first one I hit the panic button after 20 seconds, and they documented that I was non-compliant and refused medical procedure. The second one they gave me Ativan - don't know how much - and when it did nothing gave me Versed. It's an amnesiac, so I remember nothing of the second, but I'm told I was very cooperative. Versed isn't an option this time, so it's just Ativan - but more of it.
I'm front-loading my stress meltdown for my upcoming MRI. I have 3mg of Ativan to take for it, but there's a voice in my head that keeps telling me I don't react like other people to tranquilizers. I never have. And I'm flashing back to my first one (without medication) and the feeling of that restraint pressing on my chest, and the tube wall 4" in front of my face, and the noise...
I wish this was over. I wish I could stop thinking about it.

Shame on the Israeli Parliament for passing laws stripping their courts of power to block government decisions. This anti-democratic action sends the country down a dark path, indeed.
girl are you the Barbie Movie because wow a lot of men are angry that you werenβt specifically created to appeal to them
And since I never tweeted or Teslad, my response to anything Elon is Zzzzzzz.

With practice, you can also use "OK" to be "You're completely full of shit, but I'm not going to argue with you." Leslie Jordan perfected it in the movie Sordid Lives.
Also, I can scale the intonation of the "ok" to fit how truthful I feel comfortable being.
"ok."
"ok..."
"ok!"
@justyourluck Really sorry to hear this. Sounds like folks there haven't experienced very high temperatures before.
Tips from an Australian:
- stay indoors
- if you must go outside, carry a spray bottle of tap water and spritz yourself frequently
- apply 30+ UV cream to all exposed skin
- walk on the shaded side of the street
- shade yourself with an umbrella
- wear a broad-brimmed hat
- do not get into a car that's been parked in the sun
- drink a LOT of water, around 2- 3 pints in 8 hours
- if you stop sweating, it's a medical emergency.
- if there's no aircon, drape wet towels over yourself
- to get more from your aircon, limit the amount of space it has to cool by turning off some rooms/ shutting doors
- if the aircon is not enough, turn on a fan as well
Stay safe, people.π
It's considered a safety setting. I also changed the setting the first time I had a power outage in the middle of the night.
The downside is that turning the wall switch off and on won't affect the lights, if they're not responding to signals from the hub. Like when your wifi goes down.
