Am I the only one who developed a rash from handling certain minerals?

My dermatologist linked my skin irritation to pyrite exposure, so I always use gloves now.

TIL taking eye breaks in VR got rid of my headaches

I used to get pounding headaches after being in VR for too long. Someone on a forum mentioned eye strain from the screens. I decided to try looking away from the headset every thirty minutes. In games like Population: One, I'd pause and focus on a spot across the room. After doing this for a few days, the headaches completely stopped. Now I can hang out in VR worlds way longer without feeling sick. Such a small change, but it made my time in VR so much better.

Pro tip: Standard drywall in bathroom renovations invites mold behind your tiles

I discovered this after a DIY project where moisture seeped into the walls over months. Using moisture-resistant drywall or cement board is non-negotiable for showers and tub surrounds. Without it, you risk structural decay and health hazards from unseen mold growth. Always double-check material ratings before tiling any wet area.

Shoutout to the tree planting crew I volunteered with last weekend for showing me how to adapt natural growth patterns into modular design systems. It's a game changer for creating fluid, adaptable layouts.
