      I routinely go into Creative mode and wire/route the “perfect” ME controller every few months. It’s a fun puzzle to minimize the number of colors required.

        I guess I’m nasty at heart. I just make a phat square, cover it in decorative blocks, and double the inside as drive storage/autocrafter manufacturing. Of course I play too much PO3.

          But see if you do that you will only have 10x as many channels as you could ever need and not 1000x.

            I’m gonna attempt that video the other commentor linked. I’m gonna attempt it in PO3. I dont think I can shrink down so I’ll have to build it different. Going for a realistic floating island as my home in the skyblock this time around. Its really hard making landscapes by hand.

    Yes, but that top layer isn’t square. There’s one more row towards the top left. Some Qs need to be removed or added to bring balance to the qube.

        Inner ear is off limits. Can still be useful for the outer ear. For most people, cleaning the outer ear will let the inner ear take care of itself.

              If it’s too deep for your finger, it’s too deep for qtips. Don’t use qtips.

              They also irritate the skin in a way that your finger doesn’t.

              If you have gunk that’s not coming out with your finger, pippette small quantities of olive oil in, leave it there for a bit and tip it back out into some kitchen roll. Repeat once or twice a day for a week or longer if necessary.

              MUCH, MUCH easier than that is DON’T compact the ear wax by using qtips in your ear.

              You think you’re scooping stuff out, and it feels so good, but you’re compacting it on the way in and irritating the skin on the twist, promoting more ear wax. You’ll think you have some hearing loss from noise, but it’ll be the compacted ear wax because you didn’t listen to the advice everyone gave you to not use qtips. Use your finger, but don’t use qtips.

      HAHA! I was just trying to explain this to my wife. I was like

      “Okay, yes, it DOES help you get stuff done but it’s kinda like casting magic…You need the right intention and materials in front of you, or else it backfires and you end up focusing super hard on the first silly, likely useless thing that grabs your attention, and forget time is still moving…”

        Me, too, but I for sure need to be trying to do the thing I want to do when it kicks in, or I’ll find myself doing something ridiculous because I can.

    The neat thing is, if you glue the 12 outermost tips together, you get a nice q-tip stand.

    lol that’s like the opposite of ADHD. I worked a pretty long day today and had… idk, 10 cups of coffee? I’m not gonna have trouble falling asleep in a couple hours.

    Edit: this me joking about the situation. Caffeine is 100% extra stims, and I use it that way.
