Yeah, I’ve had the same issue with with a couple different brands similar to the Earpeace ones. They also felt like they were more plugging rather than filtering when fully inserted.

With Earasers, their shape helps them latch into place pretty well, even while eating or talking. If I go into a quieter area and want to hear better I can even pull them slightly out and they’ll stay in place.

I don’t remember how the versions are different from each other but I have the -26dB and -31dB ones in their music category. The -26dB ones work for most things and I can use the higher one when I expect it to be really loud. Their ‘starter kit’ in is a good idea if you are unsure of what size you need, you can get the ‘pro kit’ later if you want to try a third size and the other two NRR levels.

Those are my preferred ones. I see them as halfway between generic and custom-molded, with different sizes and sound filter options to fit your needs.

I’ve been right next to one of the loudspeaker during a Meshuggah show (got a nice full-body massage from the bass) and could still hear a pin drop when I got home because of them.

Another time, at an Eagles show, I could pick out two of three people starting a encore chant from 40-50ft (~12-15m) away, despite all the cheering and applause.

I brought it inside, but now it’s going crazy and jumping all over the furniture; even on my lap when I least expect it.

Here’s a picture of it in the act.

You never know unless you ask. And if no one ever helps, look for new friends/family.

I went through it a few months ago and for California, at least, the only restrictions were a 2-year limit to be on it, you have to check in weekly to attest to regularly searching/applying, and that you were ‘let go’ through no fault of your own. (i.e. quit or fired)

To add, they will generally set up an eligibility interview over the phone with a social worker before any decisions are made.

I would also suggest to apply for health insurance through the ACA’s website as it takes a bit of time and you don’t want to be stuck without and get injured or with a penalty. (if mandated by your state) It’s generally at no cost if you don’t have an income and can be canceled when you do.

It’s easier to change a system from the inside, possibly with a union, rather than by protesting by yourself

I’m assuming they’re more referring to something closer or related to a manufacturing engineering position as opposed to an assembly worker, both of which are normally stationed on the same floor.

Some positions do require industry (like semiconductor, medical, green, etc…) experience/knowledge, which isn’t uncommon for people just entering into to take a lesser role while getting acquainted, certified, or whatever.

32°F is freezing. 0°F (-18C) happens, but isn’t too common in most of the US.

No worries as long as the intent wasn’t to be mean. The thought patterns of what goes on in a person with ADHD, ASD, BPD, ect… can be really hard to follow, even for us.

A lot of the memes here are what we go through every day. They’re just tempered with a bit of cynical humor. It also tends to be an avenue for us to vent about the highlighted issues, of which most neurotypical brains don’t usually have trouble with.

I guess the best way I can think of to describe the idea the comic is parodying on is that we (people with ADHD) go around life with a microscope stuck to our eyes. In that we can focus extremely painstakingly well on one subject, but as soon as we shift focus or get distracted, we tend to lose our place, sorta like flicking a slide with your finger at 1000x mag and losing that one bacterial cell.

After years of dealing with this, we tend to subconsciously build very detailed models of how things work or how someone achieved an end-result. This skill gives the appearance that we are gifted at something we just picked up when, in fact, we are just using a model we already built and adapting it to the new thing.

For the comic, we tend to not absorb a cooking time very well unless we know why it’s at that specific interval -and- what is going on (at a granular level) before it’s reached, along with what will happen after.

I just make sure the instructions are facing up when they go in the bin. Just needs a quick glance without any extra steps to distract and make you forget. (I got rid of the bin lids as my trash/recycle is usually dry and doesn’t smell)

You seen Hoarders, right?

Is this from that one about that lunch thing where people ignored when told to only reply to that one guy. It gave me a bit of enjoyment this week.

Yeah, there’s a 3rd-party driver called Spacenav that works pretty well. I haven’t gotten the two side buttons on my mini wireless one though.

(I wouldn’t bother with the driver from 3DConnexion as it hasn’t been touched in 10 years old)

ETA: The settings for it in FreeCAD is at Tools>Customize>Spaceball Motion/Buttons

I remember (from somewhere…) someone once said their name was pronounced as say-on. Sorta like how séance is pronounced.
