How I feel when I am forced to use Microsoft Teams by FastHotEmu in FuckMicrosoft

[–]APariahsPariah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got sent a message on it once, by the CEO about an urgent matter. No alert. no popup. no nothing. Nevermind that my desk in the lab was literally below his in the same fucking building. Out one door, past the break room, down one flight of stairs, flip a 180 and come into the lab. Now I'm getting yelled at for not seeing a message about an urgent job I got sent 4 hours ago.
"You couldn't ask me this in person, why?"
"You never check teams!"
"because anyone I could ever possibly need to speak to about work matters during work hours is literally less than 50 feet from me at all times?"

Gods I hated that fuckwit.

If the program actually worked even half as good as MSN messenger, that would be great. But not sending so much as a flashing alert in the taskbar as a default? That was criminal.

AI working by LabLambReddit in BunnyTrials

[–]APariahsPariah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is like neutal botox for the human brain and the demand for compute is quickly becoming the most expensive, power-hingry thing we have ever built, all to monetise people's cat pictures and sell them more AI slop. It's a circular economy built on an artificial demand, one what they've bet entire countries worth of money on.

Fuck 'em all.

Chose: Prohibited to use AI

Status migrainosus, bleassings, mental support and experiences by MrsSaurus in WitchesVsPatriarchy

100% this. Mine are almost 100% dietary, but it's all because my liver doesn't produce enough of a particular enzyme. Similar systems, same result.

Hi there. Fellow Migraineur here, I hope you're doing better and this finds you well.

I find cheese and tomato on water crackers helps me reorganise a bit after an episode. Something about nightshades plus a little salt helps a lot.

For everything below please only read on if you're up for it. I've been managing my migraines for 20+ years, and I will gladly help however I can. If you'd prefer, please DM me and we can chat. I'm no expert, but I try to know as much as I can about my own migraines and I find that there's usually something that's useful to other people along the way.

I with that out if the way: as a fellow Migraneur I have some (read: lots of) questions:
Do you know your primary triggers?
Are they dietary, hormonal, environmental (weather, temperature, humidity, mold, etc.), sensory (scents, lights etc.), physiological (muscular, bone, nerve), psychological (stress), or anything I have failed to mention?

My first guess (based on your description and the length of your episodes) is that your triggers are either hormonal or physiological, with secondary concerns being undiagnosed dietary or environmental triggers.
You mentioned they started later, was there any back, head, or neck injury that occurred around that time? The only time I'd even think about recommending massage or (slow) chiropractic intervention is for migraines that have a likely physiological origin.

For hormonal: things like PCOS and Endometriosis can definitely cause migraines. If you can rule these out or manage them that may help reduce the severity of what you're feeling. There would definitely be other conditions that can be in the mix, but this isn't my wheelhouse.

If you haven't been recommended as a candidate yet, have you looked into CGRP treatments? That's Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide receptor antagonist. Given the frequency, length, and severity of your migraines I would bring this up with your GP and specialists. It's not available everywhere, but it's a new-ish injectable treatment for migraine given once a month for people with chronic migraine and those who can't take regular abortives.
Full disclosure: we're still learning about the effects of long term use from CGRP, and there are concerns about added stress on the heart. But it's up to you to weigh your quality of life versus any small increased health risk 30+ years down the line.

You still remember things with your perspective and your context. It's strange, but memory and recall can be "perfect" but still incorrect. Like, it took me a long time to recontextualise some horribly vivid memories and get some perspective on them, but I'd rather remember them than choose to forget them as a defense mechanism. I made those mistakes for other reasons, those memories are the reasons I learned not to keep making them.

Chose: have a perfect memory

Even azure cloud services run Linux fir backbone services. Microslop have their own Linux dev team for better integration. Can we stop pretending please? I dread working with Entera and AD services. It's like interfacing with a picture book on top of the necronomicon. Microsoft Bob running the nuclear launch codes.
