Oh that one is a good one, it's very busy. Using the first method the trees are on the 'bottom' and everything progressively pops out with the fish/turtle on 'top'.

The other way is reverse, the trees are on the 'top' and the fish are on the 'bottom' (like I'm looking in that 'box'). It's also really hard to see the whole picture this way, but that's just me.

Also, 'In a Box' might not be the best analogy, you can make one that intentionally feels like you're looking inside something -- it's just that most of these are made to pop out at you.

The way this works is that the image is designed to appear 'beyond' the surface it is printed on. It's much easier to relax your eyes and pretend you're looking at what's 'behind' the paper. Kind of like 3d chalk art on the road in a way.

The other way of crossing your eyes works because you're swapping the left and right eye, which gives a different, inverted appearance. Instead of a foreground image popping out of the background, it looks like the other way. Like looking in a box, kinda.

I can do both, but the latter is more difficult, sometimes requires a specific distance, and can be painful if you force it. If the image is too big, you may only be able to see a part of it. I think the first method is easier to do and to learn/train. Either way, you aren't looking at what's 'on the surface'.

...

The best way I can explain is: pretend you're sitting on the toilet, really tired and you have nothing to look at so you just lose focus and gaze at random stuff. When the tiles or cracks start to make pictures that aren't there, that's kind of the effect you want.

Are we all just going to gloss over the fact that you're not supposed to stick your duck in that?

I feel that a lot of discussion is by people who have never taken ozempic or have and are successful with its treatment. For what it's worth, I'd like to give some insight to my own experience with it and why I'm not on it.

I won't talk about all my medical issues, but to make it very broad - I have type 2 and a genetic disorder regarding my ability to metabolize. I was put on a trial of ozempic because of its apparent effectiveness.

While on it, one of the first things I noticed that no one seems to talk about (so I don't know if it's just me or not): the feeling of being sated and hungry are two different feelings. It was weird being hungry and full all the time. A bit torturous, but something I felt was manageable.

Unfortunately, even on the lowest dosage, the sated feeling was so strong I felt nauseous all the time. It eventually became a problem when I started becoming dehydrated because I couldn't even keep a glass of water down.

I was removed from the medication and I had persistent side-effects afterwards. It's been years now and while the side effects have diminished, I still get random bouts of nausea for no apparent reason. It's unrelated to when I eat or drink, but it's something I've never experienced prior to being on ozempic.

As weird as it sounds, there are some days I wish I could go back on ozempic. It is effective, but now doctors know I retained some side effects, they won't let me try it ever again.

And I guess that's it. Nothing too horrible I guess, but even miracle drugs have side effects. Everyone is built differently, so there will always be outliers.

No. But I do sing the victory fanfare tune from final fantasy every time I do some small thing. Wash dishes? Victory! Laundry? Victory! Cook dinner? Victory! Take a shit? Victory!

We need to know your personal grooming metrics, you can opt out if you create an account.

This is just my opinion, and there are always legitimate use cases for wired or wireless. Losing connection at the worst time is the main reason. I play online, so it's a complete and absolute, non-negotiable dealbraker to me. Every other benefit wireless gives and every other negative wired gives is trumped by this singular requirement.

I won't go into every situation, but almost every minor issue in wireless results in disconnects. This ends up with me using wired anyways, which leads to the problem in my previous post: worn out USB ports. Wired by comparison has far less disconnects.

On a side note: I also wanted to add (but didn't feel it was worth editing at the time), razor is stupid expensive for just that one little feature. I've had this controller for years, and back then it was the only one I could find like it. To me, it has been worth - but if I was to buy another I'd definitely look for something similar that is cheaper with possibly more features. It wasn't meant to be a razor promoting post.

I prefer wired. The problem I have with most is that they are battery. Thus, the wired part is always a USB connection that inevitably wears out with use and disconnects randomly.

It's not an innovative controller with programmable buttons or anything, but the razor controllers have a keyed recess that all but makes it impossible to disconnect or wear the port. It's really the only selling point, but one that has kept me from looking for anything else.

Can't tell if this is empathy or we are already resorting to deporting people who haven't even made it to the US yet. /s

I can't wait for the PlayStation one billion Mario edition.

PlayStation 6 would be cool tho.

If your device permits it, run raid on disc, and use nvme as cache. My Synology does this.
