I adore this poem -- it's been a bit of a guiding light 🌟 for me. It's been pinned to my browser tabs for weeks, and when I feel down I pick a stanza to read.

Verrry anxious about this trip, but I have my noise-cancelling headphones & fox-friend plushie 🦊 💜

reinterpretation of economy of scale

Economy of scale is usually known as the trick where you make a TON of something in order to make the per-unit cost lower.

But there are other types:

1. Designing an object so that it can be efficiency shared among many people. (scaling on humans instead of units produced)

2. Designing an object so that it is simple enough for others to reproduce in a decentralized fashion /wo highly specialized tools. (also scaling on units produced)

Recomendations for durable earphones?
It turns out i treat my headphones super roughly. And ive broken the last two pairs ive had.
Anyone got recs for durable ones? Im willing to spend a bit more for something that will last
I tend to use wired earbuds, but im open to wireless ones as well

I use a trick though, where I interleave 15 minute segments of something fun / exciting to me between tasks, so it doesn't feel like an endless pile of work.

"romance"

I feel like an alien on a peculiar, unknown planet. :/

"romance"

I don't think I understand what "romance" is.

My best explanation has always been "the re-enactment of tropes from media that are socially coded as romantic". Buying flowers, doing the Lady & the Tramp pasta thing, etc. But it's just.. mimicry! Interested in others' hopefully more nuanced thoughts on this.
