Compare the shape of the graph to the shape of the graphic which represented Saddam Hussein. They’re vaguely similar.

We do, but I didn’t even know they existed before this incident. I’ve luckily had few dental issues.

Red aggro nailed it. There’s a gap at the gum line between my remaining tooth and the crown, leaving exposed dentin.

I had a dentist give me an unnecessary and they didn’t even do it right. I’m still pretty salty about it.

Same, there’s not enough money in the world to entice me to deal with hormone fueled insanity again. I occasionally take a round of corticosteroids and they return just a fraction of that emotional volatility. No, just no.

Ugh, your wife and me both. “Have you tried meditation? Fasting? Maybe just push through the pain?”
Pushing through the pain is why my desk jockey ass is currently recovering from a surgery rarely performed on non-athletes. At least all the hospital documentation promises that I can start competitive play within a year or so. Upgrade!
- Comment on Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College 1 week ago:
I believe you’re 100% right. I didn’t attend many, probably most, of my lectures as they’re completely useless for me - I simply don’t learn well from listening and frantically taking notes. It was much faster and more effective to read the material and interact with it in some way, usually rewording and condensing it into a study guide. The few classes I did attend either had mandatory attendance, so I just ignored the lecture and did my own thing during that time, or the class was significantly interactive so I actually learned from it.

I always laugh when anyone seriously refers to Trump as a “man’s man”. He’s so pathetic and weak. Is that now America’s idea of masculinity?

I engaged in the “affair tolerant monogamy” variant when I was younger. I discovered there’s a positive curvilinear relationship between amount of drama and number of romantic partners. I am sometimes barely able to handle my own incidental drama, so it didn’t last more than a few years.

I have no concerns if he wants to force feed himself grain mash in the privacy of his own home. I draw the line at involving innocent waterfowl, though.

@MaggiWuerze@feddit.org nailed it. Jellyfin has security issues. It’s better than it used to be, but it’s still bad.

I see you know as much about Jellyfin as you do about my in-laws.

I’d vote for you if I could! Tesla could be alright without Musk, but it’s a long, uphill drive from where they’re at now.

I LOVE Jellyfin but can only imagine the amount of work I’d have to do if I tried to get my parents and in-laws successfully using it. We all just split the cost of lifetime Plex pass the last time it was on sale.

I had never heard of Niwana before today. That cover is awesome! Now I’m going through their albums and I think I just found a new favorite artist. Thank you!
- Comment on WTF why my filament exploded? 2 weeks ago:
How quick is quick? I have a heated dry box, so all new filament gets at least a 24 hour spa treatment. If I know it’s wet, it lives in it until color indicating silica gel no longer changes, then another day for good measure.

- Comment on Project to suck carbon out of sea begins in UK 4 weeks ago:
The water just dilutes back into the rest of the ocean, lowering its average carbon content a minuscule amount. It’ll take a year or less for it to reabsorb as much atmospheric CO2 as was removed. This isn’t a big deal unless it’s done at massive scale in concentrated areas.
An “easy” way to handle this is to return the water to the deep ocean, where it’s less impactful to ocean life and has a much larger area in which to dilute.
- Comment on Project to suck carbon out of sea begins in UK 4 weeks ago:
It’s gasuous CO2. The process pulls in water, acidifies it to release CO2 to air in a sealed space, pumps that water to the next phase which adjusts the pH back up to normal, then the CO2 poor water is pumped back into the ocean.
Meanwhile, the CO2 in the previously mentioned sealed space is concentrated up to about 98%, but it’s still a gas. While this may or may not be a more efficient extraction system, it still has the same issue all extraction systems face: what to do with the extracted gas.
- Comment on My brain fog makes me feel so stupid that I'm seriously considering trying speed 4 weeks ago:
I’m not going to lie: it’s a pain in the ass to diagnose and treat because it manifests differently between people. Even the lab tests aren’t reliable. I was diagnosed due to the fact the treatments (antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers) improved my CFS, EDS, brain fog, dysautonomia, “fun” GI issues, and anaphylactoid episodes.
My issues are certain foods and stress. If I consume too much alcohol, wheat or sugar, if I stop eating dairy then start again, and/or I experience extended bouts of intense physical and/or psychological stress, my EDS pain increases, blood flow to my extremities decreases (cold hands and feet like crazy), my GI tract goes haywire, I feel cold constantly even when I’m truly hot, I’ll develop rashes and eczema, and I’ll start experiencing CFS and random bouts of brain fog. If it goes on long enough or intensely for a short time (e.g., I eat an entire cake), I’ll have anaphylactoid episodes - not full anaphylaxis, but a lesser version that feels like a random, intense panic attack with no trigger. I was actually “diagnosed” with a panic disorder early on. Xanax just made me feel calmer while my body kept freaking out.
I first was clued into it because I noticed my symptoms were better when I took cetirizine, an antihistamine, and intensified when I stopped. My doctor had me try cromolyn sodium and, a few weeks later, my GI symptoms had vastly improved and the remaining symptoms were better. We’ve since tacked on a few more meds and I underwent a lot of therapy to get my stress levels down. Now I’m stable, where before I could barely function at work or at home.
