You are a true hero.

It’s stories like this that got me to eventually seek help. I can't imagine what it was like growing up like that. I would hate for my kids to have to go through something similar. So far, talking with my doctor about my depression has been one of the most important things I've ever done. I highly encourage anyone…

One thing I didn’t see mentioned is that depression can show tself differently between men and women. I’ve dealt with depression for the past few years, though Covid certainly exacerbated it. My depression came out as high irritability, rage, and feelings of worthlessness. Basically, instead of feeling sad all the…

Been doing this years.

The weekend before September 11, my mom and I were talking about the World Trade Center bombings.

I was going to ask why you had a picture of my cat, and then I saw that chair wasn’t mine.

Amphibia, Star vs the Forces of Evil, and The Owl House are all on Disney+. She-Ra, Voltron, and Hilda are on Netflix. I enjoyed all of these shows. I also second Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. 

Those aren't tramslations, those are definitions. A translation would be a word that means the same thing in a different language.

Why does everyone laugh when they see mountains? Because they're hill areas!

Somehow your comment got chosen as the voting one instead of mine for the Ninja, but I’m not mad because it’s an awesome fryer.

A lot air fryers don’t need you to spray fries with oil or anything, just put them straight in and cook. An air fryer is actually more akin to a “high-speed convection oven”, which cooks food more quickly an evenly. You can probably get similar results in a toaster oven, but it won’t be as crispy or cook as quickly.…

I love my air fryer, the Ninja Air Fryer, which came highly recommended by one of our family friends. After our microwave, it’s our family’s most used small kitchen appliance.

I used the python matplotlib library to make a pie chart that I used in my Ph. D defense presentation. Not sure if anyone in the audience could tell (other than my friends, who I told beforehand), but it still amuses me today, and since it was early during the defense, it helped calm my nerves. 

I’m not a huge lettuce fan, but I’ve always seen it as more for adding texture and crunch to a meal. 

My Mario costume was pretty easy to put together. All I had to buy were overalls. I already had a red shirt, brown shoes, and white marching band gloves, and a red hat. Later on, I bought a red Mario cap to make it look more authentic. It helped that I already have a mustache. This year, I added a yellow cape to the…

Don't forget to sleep. It's very tempting to keep working on your research or classes and let sleep fall to the wayside, but a decent night's sleep can really help with focus and productivity.

Instead of a regular rubber band, I used to use the thicker band that holds together vegetables like broccoli in the supermarket. I've since switched to an actual wallet, but that one was pretty good while it lasted.

When I learned that my beloved Verizon Galaxy Nexus wasn't getting any more updates, I rooted it. Data wasn't a problem: I just used Helium to back everything up, so that I could restore it after unlocking and rooting. Now I'm able to run Kit Kat on it with ShinyRom, and I also get to tweak certain things to my liking.
