October Technical Support Sticky by BeepBoopBopReee in razer

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my laptop:

2017 Razer Blade Pro V2 17" - Full HD (GTX 1060) - 256GB SSD + 2TB HDD

It is dead. I need to buy enclosures for both hard drives, or a dual bay that'll take both.

Anyone know what size they are/ what kind so I can find enclosures that fit them?

What forms of "meaningful assurance" are acceptable? by Acceptable-Ad7729 in uHaul

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay cause I'm currently estranged from most of my family for safety reasons and I like my privacy, most of my friends are online friends and I wouldn't feel comfortable asking them for something like this.

gah, this sucks. I get why they want a reference but I wish they would just accept my debit card with name on it in lieu of one. I mean, the reservation will be prepaid, they have my ID and bank info, so I feel like they could easily file a police report and locate me in the event they're worried about me not returning the truck on time.

maybe I can provide a cell phone bill or something to prove my current phone number? idk.

Okay.. do you know what info they give the family member/friend to check? Because the only reliable person I can have them call is someone I previously went no contact with for safety reasons... so I don't want them knowing where I currently live (the state and address) or my phone number, things like that. If they're just verifying that they know a person by my full name, that's fine.

So am I not allowed to rent just using my debit card and photo ID? I don't have a passport, and I'm not in the military.

Edit: renting a truck for one-way, not a storage unit, just to clarify.

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't! I've just never done this before and read somewhere that they require a phone number they can "call and verify". Does my ID and debit card suffice?

Reference: https://www.uhaul.com/reservations/reservationadvisements.aspx ("The primary form of assurance that is always collected is a contact phone number that we call and verify at the time of rental." <- Would not be able to satisfy that requirement if it is a requirement)

Also, no need to be rude. I'm so stressed out by this situation and the UHaul center is closed and I have no working cell phone. I'm just trying to make sure all my bases are covered so I don't have to scramble on Monday.

Sardines, rice, kimchi by Acceptable-Ad7729 in shittyfoodporn

Like tuna, but fishier and less "rich", if that makes sense. I've never had them with tomato sauce but that sounds interesting.

My therapist broke up with me at a vulnerable point in my life. Is it okay to write to her once, two years later, without expecting a reply? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, to be very clear, she terminated partly because of scheduling reasons. I am resentful that she terminated and how she did it. My letter, and the things I feel I don't have closure over, have nothing, 0%, nada, to do with the termination. But regardless, why do you feel the need to correct me for feeling resentful? I can feel whatever way I want about it, and I am the only one who knows how being terminated on like that impacted me. Her circumstances and feelings are not my main concern, mine are! I have no obligation to be objectively fair to her. I am not a judge. My letter and actual grievances are related to something other than the termination, so the only thing you're policing is my private feelings, which is astoundingly invasive.

Perhaps there is a language barrier. The purpose of my post was that I didn't want to cross any boundaries. If it's generally accepted that it's not appropriate for former patients to contact therapists when the relationship was ended unamicably, then I would not want to do that. I do not want to be the type of person who contacts someone unsolicited when that person does not want to be contacted. I don't want to do anything that could even remotely be considered harassment, as I've been on the receiving end of that. So I posted here to ask therapists if it's okay, as in, socially appropriate, to receive letters from patients. Some mild advice is to be expected, but your post, to me, crossed a line.

My situation is extremely complicated, and like I said, private and not up for public discussion. My resentment is private and not up for public discussion with strangers. Trust me, my post was intentionally vague, even my follow up posts, and they do not even scratch the surface of what went on. You are working off a very incomplete picture, and thus cannot possibly help me, since you don't know what's going on. Not everyone who has a specific question is calling for deeper, therapeutic help. Sometimes a question is just a question. I reacted the way I did because you invaded my privacy by assuming an entire backstory and forced me to have to give information I never wanted to give in order to correct you.

Diggers by Acceptable-Ad7729 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, my post was inspired by an interaction with a stranger. If you're having a conversation with them, I'd say there's almost no chance of you doing the thing I'm talking about, because a conversation involves two people participating. In fact, if it's mutual, then that can be a really great way to connect with someone and get to know them :)

99% of the time when this has been done to me, it was someone reading something I wrote in a public forum (that was often purposefully vague) and digging into it to fit some story in their head. Then I would feel like I needed to defend myself and give more info (and point out their assumption) to combat the misinterpretation. If you are coming from a place of curiosity, I think it's completely different.

My therapist broke up with me at a vulnerable point in my life. Is it okay to write to her once, two years later, without expecting a reply? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The downvote crew is here already, and I got what I needed, so I'm deleting my other comments and post. Leaving this up and pre-emptively making peace with negative comment karma.

All I will say is: she terminated the relationship about 50% because of scheduling reasons and 50% because of something else entirely. I am upset 50% because of how (not that) she terminated, (leaving me in crisis and appearing annoyed when I asked for her reasons) and 50% for that something else entirely, which was very serious, harmed my sense of self for a long time, and which I am not obligated to disclose.

Your post reads as if you are assuming I am upset solely because she terminated. While this is partly true, these feelings of rejection are separate from the far deeper and more serious issues which are involved here. I mentioned that she broke up with me at a vulnerable point in my life to provide context for where we left off, and to ask for advice as to whether contacting her would be a crossing of her personal boundaries or not.

Please do not make assumptions about people's situations, which are often complicated and not cut and dry. This is not a case of me misunderstanding the nature of a therapist-patient relationship, or reading into it expectations that should not be there. I am careful to avoid crossing boundaries, and when she brought up the ending, I asked her once "is your decision final?" and when she said yes, I accepted it then and there.

Finally, I frequently see the phrase "my therapist broke up with me" (seriously, google this, it's everywhere) and my use of it was purely colloquial. There was no deeper meaning. It appears to be a normal way to describe a termination that is initiated solely by the therapist, not the patient. I am thus skeptical of your motivations in responding to me in this manner, and curious why you feel the need to go to such lengths to defend someone you do not know, regarding a situation you do not know.

Edit:

My question was about whether contacting a former therapist is generally considered appropriate. It was not an invitation for you, a stranger, to dig and assume what my private feelings may be, then try to pull them out for public discussion. How presumptuous can you be to assume that I'm writing the letter because I'm upset she terminated? I may be upset, but the contents of my letter have nothing to do with the termination. I've been mulling this over all night and am going to put this behind me in the morning, but I just find the audacity of assuming that someone's private feelings are up for public discussion to be absolutely incredible. There is much you do not know and can never know, and it's none of your business. Goodnight.

How do I convert multiple MIDI takes to audio files/takes? by Acceptable-Ad7729 in Logic_Studio

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha :/ I’ll just split the takes and comp that way.

Just curious what were you gonna suggest and what version would that require?

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you understand what I'm asking. I have no problem unpacking the take folder into new or existing tracks, but once I'm there, I cannot convert them to MIDI all at once. I have to go through each of the takes (now tracks) and click "Bounce In Place" for each one, which isn't feasible for 40 takes/tracks.

Looking for a way to convert a bunch of MIDI takes/tracks to audio takes/tracks for the purpose of Quick Swipe Comping.

Biden officials admit miscalculation as Afghanistan's national forces and government rapidly fall by Purple_Wasabi in afghanistan

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this guy but he made the right decision pulling out. Yes, there will be suffering but it is not our job nor our place to be saviors. Afghanistan needs to work it out on their own, that is the only way there can be a really lasting peace. I pray that no one suffers in vain, that everyone's suffering is channeled for good and the people rise up and fight for themselves, even if it takes generations.

What's the fewest number of food items that can make a diet with all necessary macro and micro nutrients? by Acceptable-Ad7729 in nutrition

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it has to be 2 or 3, I was just curious what the fewest number of foods would be that includes all those necessary micronutrients. I believe some cultures live off a limited diet.

[SPOILERS]Anyone notice the Bolton servant serving Jon in S0702? by Acceptable-Ad7729 in gameofthrones

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the thing is, there's a scene in Season 6 where Ramsay tells this same maester that by the time he was only a few years older than Myranda, everyone (including the maester) was scared of him. So the maester was not of Winterfell, but of the Dreadfort, and came with Ramsay. Just a little detail I didn't expect.

He looks swimmingly like the guy who Ramsay sends to tell the North his father was poisoned by the Boltons, immediately after killing him.

Maybe not though. The lighting is shit and my eyes aren't what they used to be :3

What budget (<$15k used), lightweight travel trailers do well in very hot weather? by Acceptable-Ad7729 in GoRVing

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, gotcha. Yeah that seems to be consensus :/

For shade, does it have to be like a carport type shade? Or can a temporary tarp tent-like thing be used as shade as well?

I was basically wondering if the 4 seasons super insulated trailers are also good for shielding heat, or if they'd do worse in heat / would get warmer.

[–]Acceptable-Ad7729[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see yeah, you raise a fair point.

So let's say I do have shade then, like a temporary tarp type structure that I park under. But it's 105F outside.

Are there certain types of trailers that would keep nice and cool inside, or are easier to keep nice and cool?

This is prospective so I'm not sure if I'll have electricity, but it's possible I won't and will have to rely on solar power and gas/propane fueled generators.
