CT Scan (for the ongoing ear issue) came back with everything absolutely normal, which frustrated me greatly until @IamMrsGeek reminded me that “no head trauma” isn’t generally considered a bad thing.

So I’ll probably end up with a hearing aid. Which — wait a second, if my hearing in one ear is dramatically lower for a certain range of frequencies I can medically use the line “I’m selectively hard of hearing.”

@cheribaker @IamMrsGeek It always works out best when I do exactly that!

@cheribaker though for right now @IamMrsGeek has to say it on my left side

@genehack I lack AirPods, but I did my own experiment using a bone conduction headset. IFF I press the right side speaker in a bit, I hear it quite well.
Regular headset does nothing, though. Something in the middle is in the way. They may do exploratory surgery later if I’m so inclined. If conduction hearing aid works, I won’t be so inclined.

@gizmomathboy @genehack my variety doesn’t do well with amplification alone, according to the hearing test. Do something loud and I’ll barely hear it, but my ear will still hurt. But we’ll see what they say at the fitting / consultation.
And yes for amplification-related hearing assistance it would be interesting to see what Apple could do!

@Macross @IamMrsGeek technically yes but I already ate lunch so the dog is safe

@gizmomathboy You’re not wrong.

Sometimes it’s the same company re-posting the same job. Sometimes it’s several recruiting companies posting the same job for the same client.
And sometimes it’s different companies posting different jobs but telling startups apart is like finding the right guy named Brian in a room of middle-aged white dudes.

“no no that’s Brian with a beard. You’re looking for Brian with a goatee.
“No, that’s Brian with a van Dyke. Learn your facial hair. It’s the only way to tell them apart!”

@bitprophet or authorize a follow you’d like to follow back, but forget to copy the profile URL, and due to interserver weirdness there’s no follow notification and now you gotta dig through by handle and oh screw it maybe they’ll turn up in a reply

@Wrewdison No we don’t talk about clean-shaven Brian. He had a breakdown, grew mutton chops, bought a goat farm, and moved to Ukiah.

Writing a cover letter at 10pm on a Friday is the most idiotic and / or brilliant idea I have ever had.
Well I tell you what if they read this they’re gonna remember it.
hackers.town: 2023-07-28 Fri 22:12
@Wrewdison yeah his infrastructure engineer’s a goat but not the GOAT if you get my meaning
hackers.town: 2023-07-28 Fri 22:22
@Wrewdison No, bald clean-shaven Brian

You want mentorship skills?
…using a soothing voice and encouraging demeanor to help interns, co-ops, junior devs, and the occasional manager realize they’re a lot smarter than they thought
I got mentorship skills coming out the ass.
No you misunderstand. I’ve been teaching HTML to a small donkey named Franco

@boris Oh good! I need to revisit my neighborhood listing at some point, and I’ll be happy to add any of your other feeds, because I’ll subscribe to them immediately _^
hackers.town: 2023-07-28 Fri 22:27
@Wrewdison No that’s Chris.
hackers.town: 2023-07-28 Fri 22:29
@boris absolutely!
I also need to revisit my Public Brain. Was using UUIDs but found out that each Logseq instance was using different UUIDs for the same page.
hackers.town: 2023-07-28 Fri 22:41
@genehack That’s the hope!
hackers.town: 2023-07-28 Fri 22:41
@Wrewdison Seven of them.
hackers.town: 2023-07-28 Fri 22:46
@Wrewdison at this point I no longer know. But if there’s a spot for it I’ll come up with something.
hackers.town: 2023-07-28 Fri 22:54
@Wrewdison seems appropriate
