Addendum: oh my ghods people want HOW MUCH for the dear things? Somebody's actually *parting one out* on eBay, separate listings for the upper shell, lower shell, button and ball ring. O.O
(No ball. I presume the trade in computer mouse balls is heavily restricted under local Digital Aphrodisiac laws...)
Anybody know where a bun could procure an Apple ][ serial mouse, mechoptical innards, one-button, DB-9 connector for cheap to Toronto, ON? Non-functional preferred.
Feel free to boost.

Ok, fucker, do you want the "my brain is chemically rude" talk or the "anti-depressants aren't like a silver bullet for werewolves" talk?

Realtor: and here's the '''man cave''' haha
Me, a fashionably middle-class gay, to my equally fashionably middle-class husband, in my sassiest sotto voce, pretending the realtor can't hear us: honey, we are absolutely not having a dank-ass crusty-ass hetero-ass toxic-masculinity-ass cave-ass cave, you and I both "know" men and there is nothing "man" about this here. what do you think we should transform this into
Realtor, sweating and stuttering: I'm sorry but you really can't say that on HGTV,
@mew *grin* Anytime, happy to help.
@mew @porsupah The grouping makes sense, that's ulnar nerve distribution. The way you describe the pain sounds like a compressed or irritated nerve: could be at the wrist or elbow, or thoracic outlet where the nerve navigates some ribs, or even the neck. Have you tried drawing with a wrist splint, just to see if immobilizing your wrist helps prevent the symptoms from starting?
@mew I'd show you the 'secret damaged artist handshake', but, well, you know. *holds up hand in a wrist splint* XD
That might be a direction to look, you might have some extra forces compressing the thoracic outlet areas. In which case, maybe some gentle stretching of your back and chest/shoulders before arting may help. Worth a try, perhaps - gentle being key. Just to loosen things up to start.
@porsupah @mew Mmmph. I'm down to a few seconds of pencil-grip before losing feeling in most of my radial-nerve fingers these days, so I don't know if I have any _solutions_ per se. I *do* know a lot of my artpain issues seem to be related to neck and upper back issues alongside older wrist and forearm tendon damage, so taking care of the carpals and such doesn't do as much to delay symptom onset as making sure I'm in a *good* chair and whatever I'm drawing on is at a good height & angle.

Everyone's sharing the close-up image of the black hole itself, which is neat, but here is a zoomed-out view of the gigantic mass of space-stuff that it is busily consuming: http://chandra.harvard.edu/blog/node/719

Bring me Esteem
Give me self-respect
Like they've never seen
Help me to turn, a new chapter over
And show them that my doormat days are over!
Mister Maslow? ("Yesssss?")
Please hear these sighs
I beg you, help me, self-actualize
Does that contradict theory?
Mister Maslow, bring me Esteem!

Request for warm fuzzies for a friend.
@Flipp@snouts.online The funny thing is - it is funny, sort of - the funny thing is that I'm the worst person to try that given *I* struggle with isolation a lot. I only see a couple of friends IRL anything like regularly. And this is a *terrible* weekend to try that, because most of my friends are either in transit to FurTheMore or FurnalEquinox, or several time zones behind me and grabbing dinner and offline.
So it's not the best example. But I had to try. *hugs*
Request for warm fuzzies for a friend.
Friends? @Flipp@snouts.online is a good bun. They're feeling a bit isolated and invisible and maybe a bit at the end of their rope - a place I empathize with immensely at times. Could I ask for a few waves and hellos and maybe a little friendly interaction, if you have a little energy to spare? Just some warmth from the global warren for a bun to help them feel they're still part of the den?

"How's the pizza today?"
"...it could be the beam bender if the gas *is* pure, so I should check for condensation on the mirror before I do further disassembly."
"... that good, huh."
"Mmm? Oh. Sorry, I'm in debug mode. Uhm. Pizza's good!"
2. Statement of mood, ie:
"How do you feel?"
