Key lime juice also makes for a very interesting margarita.

I had a similar network appliance "nest". I got a rolling kitchen island from IKEA because it has shelves that encourage ventilation and it also fit my printer, UPC, and HTPC/server. Now I have one network appliance cart. Everything is always a few inches off of the floor. All the cords are contained and tied off where necessary to keep the cart's contents from spilling out in the way. When it's time to clean around it, it can be wheeled away from the wall or corner. The only cords still connected to the wall are one for power and one for Internet. I can even disconnect it entirely from the wall briefly without too much fuss, just a short time without internet but with the wifi intact.

The cart would be overkill in your case, but the idea of it would still have value. You could probably fit everything you've got into an empty milk crate. That crate could be on wheels and most crates are pretty well ventilated.

There's a lot there in that video that I think will resonate with most people, myself included, but I nearly did not get past the philosophical problem of the speaker's claims that HSPs somehow feel things deeper than others. As if people that are better equipped or trained to manage their emotions are somehow experiencing emotions on a shallower level. That line of logic reminds me way too much of the way colonizers would dehumanize indigenous peoples by claiming that the culture and language of those indigenous peoples were somehow less developed because of a difference in technological development. I know that they are very different situations. I'm just trying to draw abstract parallels to show why I find the language they used offensive.

Either way, that video left me wondering. Which would be more emotionally exhausting, being an HSP or accommodating one on a regular basis?

Was that supposed to be coherent or relevant? Are you lost?

If you're going to be snarky about units, at least get the significant digits correct. The infographic gives 100°F as the temperature. If I had to guess I'd say that wherever that number came from, it's precision is much less than a whole °F, but for simplicity let's just say that the precision is a whole number, no decimal places in the precision. At that precision 37.5°C and 38°C are both also 100°F. There are 9/5 °F for every °C after all. If you'd said 37.7°C I wouldn't have even commented. But that was one decimal place too far (and being too lazy to find the ° symbol or type out degrees).

You're all probably saying, "Who cares? Why do you care? Aren't you just being any even more annoying pedant?"

I do. I don't know. Probably.

But, if you're going to be a smartass, you better at least try to be smart about it.

Same. I'm just hoping it doesn't turn out like the cute frog photos.

Blue pizza just like aunt Beru used to make.

What are the odds that he lives in her house, maybe unemployed?

What a convincing argument. I didn't realize you had the authority to just decide.

It's an optical illusion. By definition their isn't generally anything YOU would call erroneous about any optical illusion, I'd guess. The fact that the text is difficult bordering on impossible to read at some angles is the perceptual error. Stop ignoring obvious interpretations to support your pedantic trolling.

That's an unhelpfully restrictive definition of illusion that is itself illusory. An illusion is also:

A sensation originated by some external object, but so modified as in any way to lead to an erroneous perception; as when the rolling of a wagon is mistaken for thunder.

The text is hidden or revealed through a change in perspective. That is the illusion.

Kink shaming is the real mental illness.
