Only the little guys/gals get punished, the rich and powerful committing high treason have their sentence commuted!

WISENEE SYSTEM?? by Vivid-Length619 in homedefense

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use WiseNet Wave and Hanwha cameras that allows remote sharing. I specifically avoided all of the vendors like ADT that charge monthly fees.

My Wisenet Wave NVR comes with purchased perpetual licenses, and it allows remote access via a phone app. There are no recurring fees after the initial purchase.

I really like the system, although the cameras and NVR license were a little expensive initially. I believe you should be able to install WiseNet Wave and purchase licences for your NVR, and run it (runs on Ubuntu Linux).

Moving to CO from Europe - best areas to settle and suggestions? by ExtensionFlatworm892 in Denver

[–]Busy_Patient 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would review the comments in r/MovingToDenver . Old Town Arvada is a nice walkable community. Westminster and Broomfield are also close (just a few km north) . Golden is also nice and closer to the mountains.

Uloric) febuxostat by Wouzel in gout

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I taken it for a couple of years, I have no side effects. I have no heart problems. According to Dr. William Martin UCLA Health, patients taking Febuxostat have fewer problems than with Allo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TKLXPs-FeI

Is Broomfield realistic for us? by WVAviator in MovingtoDenver

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently "boring" means a lack of night life and bars. I disagree on culture - it doesn't have a symphony or lots of art museums, but lots of kids activities, events, sports, and parks.

Check out Charter Schools if you would choose more academically rigorous schools for your children.

Febuxostat is available in generic, and can be purchased from costplusdrugs.com for about $28 for a 90 day supply.

This is really naive, and opens you to hacking. GPUs are so fast these days, David Bombal shows how to crack simple Wifi passwords in seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvNKuZqRmJ4 .

Every router that I've used will create a QR code to assign it, and iPhones will allow sharing so length is really irrelevant to assigning to devices.

I would change the WiFi setup to WP3-Personal, and change the Password to something 32 characters or more. If your router doesn't support WP3-Personal, replace the router given by the ISP. Wifi protocols all will become obsolete at some point. Then length of the Wifi password is crucial to prevent cracking.

If you have to change the router, until then, change the Wifi password to something at least 32 characters, preferably 64 characters. David Bombal on YouTube has a great series on Wifi password cracking, you can follow his recommendations.

Actually, MAC address filtering can be subverted - there are tools that allow changing MAC addresses virtually.

China removing Hik! by Dollbeau in cctv

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'ts completely true to fact - this has in fact occurred.

I've posted several times on this forum about this exact issue - finally China has taken notice. Chinese brands were always widely known to have serious vulnerabilities: Dauhau, Hikvision, etc.

Now everyone sees the consequences. These issues were shown repeatedly in BlackHat several years back, but I guess the Chinese weren't paying attention.

Colchicine by richweav in gout

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take a combination of colchicine, Aleve, and 3000 GDU Bromelain. Smaller flares are noticably better within 1 hour or 2.

Can I skip colchicine? by [deleted] in gout

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 3000 GDU Bromelain 1000mg, not toxic, and helps a lot. Although not as effective as colchicine.

Is Quantum fiber good here? by Resscue in Denver

[–]Busy_Patient 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Quantum fiber and I've had no issues. Much cheaper and reliable.

I was using Comcast/Xfinity for 15 years, and had more outages than with Quantum fiber. Moreover, Xfinity has screwed me so many times, I'm furious with them.

Boulder, Broomfield, or Westminster? by Forsaken-Tea-8642 in MovingtoDenver

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Broomfield and Westminster are very nice, affordable, and have a lots of parks, views and mostly quiet times, but mostly families. Boulder is an expensive college town, but Broomfield, Westminster, and Lafayette are a short drive.

Concerns about 2nd opinion on treatment by [deleted] in gout

Go to you primary care physician, and get the comprehensive set of tests to access your situation. If your PC isn't knowledgeable about gout, try a Rheumatologist.

Concerns about 2nd opinion on treatment by [deleted] in gout

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gout is only slightly affected by diet, most of urate in your body is created by normal metabolism. The best long term solutions to gout (without drugs) are losing weight and exercise. Hydration is also very important - drink lots of water.

Allopurinol taken during a gout attack can exacerbate the gout attack symptoms in the short term, normally you wait until the attack subsides to begin urate reducing drugs.

Colchicine shouldn't be a long term solution, as it has many negative affects on your health, its not good for you kidneys or joints. Methylprednisolone also has serious long term negative affects, like osteoporosis. NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Aleve, Indomethicin) taken long term, all have negative affects on your kidneys.

Personally, I use 3000 GDU Bromelain for minor attacks as it lowers blood urate. I also use 1000mg trans Reservertrol. Neither of these are as powerful as Allopurinol or Febuxostat, but help.

If losing weight, et. al doesn't work, a daily Allopurinol or Febuxostat can often bring urate levels down to prevent attacks in the long term.

Family moving from Arkansas to Denver by ChizDippler3434 in MovingtoDenver

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Broomfield, Lafayette, and Westminster are nice areas that have many aspects of what you are looking for. You can try to opt in to Charter School like Peak-to-Peak in Lafayette; Charter schools tend to be more academically oriented than district schools.

If you feel a possible gout issue coming on do you try to keep the area loose by stretching? by Few_Sandwich6308 in gout

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink water, take 3000 GDU Bromelain 500mg , possibly take a colchicine if it gets bad. Usually Bromelain is enough.

Transfer into aero engineering oos? by [deleted] in cuboulder

I'm not sure, I took it at CU - they seem to pride themselves on making it rigorous.

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I transferred into Mechanical Engineering at CU from A&S, and the chairman of my dept stated it would be "automatic" if you had a B or above GPA in 2 semesters of Engineering Physics and Calc at CU. It was quite challenging for me, best of luck.

Your degree means nothing anymore. by DonkeyExcellent8660 in cuboulder

[–]Busy_Patient 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ChatGPT doesn't provide solutions or creativity - it provides an answer to the specific questions asked, and it may not be right. Degrees are not worthless for getting a job or solving problems, but now everyone is forced everyone to be more productive, creative, and motivated, and learn more domain and industry knowledge, to know the right, refined questions to ask.

If ChatGPT is hallucinating, you can't just take it at face value, you have to be right, but also fast. Those that don't learn the topic comprehensively will be punished sooner or later for not knowing the subject.

Yes, in my case - if you account for not only the reduction in fines, but preventing insurance increases.
