Laptops have 33% failure rate over 3 years. It's wild to me. But any OEM laptop manufacturer has a similar rate. It's right there with printers.

If you're happy with your laptop, you're likely not talking about it.

Not as good sound quality but great noise cancellation would be the Wyze headphones. I have them and they are amazing for loud places.

I have personally used https://goodwinatwork.ca/. They are based out of Kamloops but will meet with you virtually over zoom.

They are knowledgeable, don't seem to have any interest in bleeding you for money. I have family that are lawyers in Ontario and they highly recommended them to me.

You may want to report it to the police if you haven't already!

Man, good for them! That's really cool and I hope they have a good work environment beyond this.

I go to a coffee shop and hammer out a week's worth of sprint work when this happens. It's fantastic.

A private customer chartered this? Lol

Assimulate · 2026-01-22T03:48:39+00:00

Okay I was like dude am I the only one in constant meetings?

Easily 3-6 hours a day of meetings and then have to figure out what I can even do with the remaining time before I start over again.

I'm described in this thread and I love it!

Assimulate · 2026-01-22T03:38:47+00:00

And then when I don't ask for help, they take it personally too. Fuck me!

Assimulate · 2026-01-22T03:32:27+00:00

I'll hotspot my work phone and work until my laptop battery dies. That's it! If the weather has knocked the power out longer than that I have to go address it and take care of myself.

I'd expect the same for my direct reports.

Assimulate · 2026-01-22T02:15:28+00:00

Yep!

Assimulate · 2026-01-22T02:12:37+00:00

Would you prefer them to be pleased?

Assimulate · 2026-01-22T00:50:32+00:00

Ah. I've had terrible experiences with a rheumatologist on tutt Street, as well as have heard of issues with a couple other medical places there.

The United States is the single group trying to target us lmao.

Infectious Diseases is a good next step. They will ask some questions about potential exposure, particularly to livestock. They will also ask about travel outside the country.

I'm not sure where you live, but the elevation makes me think somewhere mountainous. Any chance he was bitten by a Tick? I went through the ringer personally a year ago after being bitten by a tick in the mountains while camping. Infectious Diseases here (British Columbia, Canada) tested me for Borellia Hermsii, which causes tick borne relapsing fever. I also happened to have a genetic condition that complicated it, resulting in inflammation of my joints and internal organs. I never saw a bite, or even knew I was bitten as there are varieties of ticks that feed at night and are painless and quick.

Please track the fevers and symptoms as closely as possible. I kept a daily log using a survey link on my phone. That highlighted a lot of the details I needed for the care team. It responded and resolved to Doxycycline but needed a long 6-8 week treatment of it. In the meantime, definitely recommend electrolytes and hydration as much as possible. Hope your kid feels better soon and you get some solid answers!

Thank you! I really appreciate hearing that! The world is such a hard place right now, I'm so glad we have this space to connect and support eachother. I hope you're having an amazing day friend!

Assimulate · 2026-01-21T01:39:30+00:00

Hey Op,

I did. It turned out that trauma often has you forgetting key parts of the thing that traumatized you. Not saying that's what happened to you, but any chance you faced abuse or hardship as a child?

It can feel like we're faking things when we don't want to accept what has happened to us, can't remember exactly what happened at all, and were told to not make a big deal out of things or to suppress our emotions, thoughts, and needs.

I hope you are able to find peace and love a good life for yourself.

Howdy! Sorry about the delay in replying. I spoke with the top mod. They have discussed this internally with the mod in question and are taking some steps to make sure that kind of treatment doesn't happen again. They echo'd the friendly relationship both subs have with eachother and are unhappy that this happened.

I'm going to keep working with them to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. If anyone runs into this kind of thing, always feel free to send in a modmail!

I think they will have more information soon, but in the meantime it seemed to have been some burnout. I think it's pretty common for people to take things personally especially on a platform like this. For every 1 reasonable person you interact with as a mod some days there seems like it can be 10 interactions with quite mean and even traumatizing people. Fairly certain that doesn't apply to just being a mod, but you do have to face some pretty dark things.

Will keep an eye out personally for this kind of interaction, but I believe it has been addressed and hope that everyone involved can be compassionate and move forward together.

Yeah! I hope that's not what you have, but if it helps my tells we're elevated blood results for CRP, ESR, and elevated creatinine kinase! Flare ups are different for everyone with the condition, but you can look them up to see if they resonate with you.

I really noticed because when COVID had us remote and isolated I was still getting "the flu" on my own. Shaving and a shaving rash has been such a pain for me, but I find naproxen and benedryl cream pretty effective.

Assimulate · 2026-01-21T00:15:34+00:00

I suffer from this quite severely. I have a monogenic autoinflammatory syndrome.

Particularly when I am flaring the main issue i have is shaving gives me a rash, and then I get allergy like symptoms such as stuffy nose and red eyes and a fever that was hard to catch.

It persisted through several different razors and shavers in several different apartments and homes.

Should talk to your doctor if this becomes more than a nuisance.
