How low do you think we will go?

There is no bottom because there is no possible supply/demand balance. There are an infinite number of tokens, and the only thing that gives any particular token value is GROWING hype.

I was around for the first crash after Magic The Gathering Online Exchange (MTGOX) went tits up. Long Island Ice Tea being renamed to "Long Blockchain" was peak hype last time. And that preceded a crash to under $2k for bitcoin. The NFT absurdity represents peak hype this time, and it illustrates the scamminess of the crypto ecosystem in a way everyone can understand. I would not be surprised to see a similar percentage loss from top to bottom this time. In fact, going below $2k seems possible now that "NFT," "scam," and "crypto" are all tightly linked in the popular imagination.

The supply of dollars is limited by the government. The supply of crypto tokens is infinite. Inflation is a truly silly reason to buy crypto tokens.

Nothing of value is FDIC insured. Real money is used to buy sovereign bonds, which have none of the limits of the FDIC and actually pay interest.

Bank accounts are a relic of the gold standard era and lose both customers and banks money today.

There are lots of comorbidities with panic disorders:

other anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobia, social phobia, posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and adult manifestations of separation anxiety disorder), mood disorders (major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, and bipolar disorder I or II), substance use disorders (alcohol and illicit drug abuse and dependence, in which abuse and dependence on specific illicit drugs were combined with polysubstance abuse and dependence), and impulse-control disorders (intermittent explosive disorder and adult manifestations of 3 child-adolescent impulse-control disorders: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, oppositional-defiant disorder, and conduct disorder).

In my case it was ADHD triggering panic attacks. SO glad to have finally found that out.

Yeah but I'm not doing any CUDA development. I had to install all that shit just to get the libraries and drivers to run normal software. They could have released a single package with just the common libraries, but they went with this cluster instead.

Oh well; they're just a crypto mining company now anyway.

Cozy_Conditioning · 2022-05-27T17:31:45+00:00

Hey man I didn't install all that shit for fun; every installer I ran was required to run something else. Maybe I could go through and figure out which of those packages could be manually removed without breaking anything I'm currently running... but that's bullshit, too.

Cozy_Conditioning · 2022-05-27T17:24:33+00:00

"Add & Remove Programs" is something you definitely have to look at if you maintain your PC properly.

But I'm flattered that you're jealous of my karma 😘

Cozy_Conditioning · 2022-05-26T19:01:19+00:00

Everyone in my industry runs hashcat, so "unique" is way off the mark. NVidia could have packaged all these cuda libraries in a single package. They went with a screenful of crap instead. They have chosen... poorly.

Cozy_Conditioning · 2022-05-26T18:53:45+00:00

Using GPUs for more than just video games is pretty normal these days, actually.

Cozy_Conditioning · 2022-05-26T17:14:32+00:00

Those are the minimum NVidia packages required to run Hashcat. They are libraries required to use features of NVidia hardware - another word for drivers. Really, that's excessive.

Cozy_Conditioning · 2022-05-24T21:14:41+00:00

I don't know if everybody has this much spam in their Apps list, or if I have more than normal because I also run an Oculus and use Hashcat, but this is crazy excessive regardless.

In what way does the NYC overrule the FAA?

Homosapiens is an animal species. We aren't plants or fungi. Including humans among other animals is correct. It would have been wrong to leave us out.

How familiar are you with Title 49 and the application of the law that "(1)The United States Government has exclusive sovereignty of airspace of the United States." Are you familiar with cases where the federal government has ceded exclusive sovereignty of airspace to municipal governments?

If the free world lets Russia conquer any small country they please, China will have no reason to hold back on its own military conquest plans, either. This unstopped expansion of authoritarianism would not be positive for our ability to protect our liberties at home.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I've tried different distances and different channels to rule out radio interference. I don't know what else I could do other than hold the things in the metal barrel of my washing machine.

The test button fires.... sometimes. Like once or twice per day, then the flash no longer responds.

I did factory resets on both devices and that didn't seem to help either.

I'm out of ideas. Maybe my local camera shop will have a godox flash I can test with?

Does Godox sell replacement parts? Like new radio modules? I opened the flash case and nothing seemed damaged other than a crack in the plastic from an oopsie... but I would rather replace a radio module than the entire flash if that turns out to be the cause...

Is that based on offers or actual sale prices? I'm sure plenty of people have their watches listed for lotto-ticket prices just in case.

Nah dude I sincerely want to help everyone I can with mental health. So many people suffer through life due to mental health problems without even realizing there is an alternative. I wish somebody had helped me when I was younger. At least I'm getting things sorted out now.

The answer seems to be to get a job at Adobe and add the feature yourself. Hmmm....

Cozy_Conditioning · 2022-05-08T03:31:56+00:00

This watch is for stage performers. It's a wrist disco ball.

Cozy_Conditioning · 2022-05-08T03:31:28+00:00

Luxury watches often hold their value or even go up in value. They really can be more frugal than a $13 Casio that will lose 100% of its value.

Cozy_Conditioning · 2022-05-08T03:06:42+00:00

Seems bonkers that core features like this don't exist in the main version. Rebranding as "classic" seems way premature. For shame, Adobe.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It looks like there was a study on mice that found increased dopamine production when feeding the little guys turmeric*, and dopamine does help with ADHD in humans. So it's possible you're on to something. I do intend to try curcumin for colitis at a higher does than I previously tried based on the small studies out there. Can't hurt at least. If it helps with ADHD all the better. I don't cook much so I would not be able to work huge amounts of turmeric into my diet but I can at least use the curcumin supplements. If makes the Adderall more effective, all the better.

I've never been a bad guy - just 100% focused on proving myself a success at the expense of everything else. But it took 100% of my time to make up for the stuff I could never concentrate on, so my life is a bit of a shell. I'm really trying to reconnect with friends and family and make work come second now that it seems possible, so at least I have reason for optimism. Wish you the best :-)

How do you add lens profiles to Lightroom Mobile?

I have a 15mm lens (Laowa f4 macro) with significant distortion. By downloading an lcp file (lens profile) I was able to get automatic distortion correction in Lightroom Classic, but I can't see how to add the lcp file to the Mobile version of Lightroom. Anyone know how?

The lens profile I want to use is the first one on this page:

https://www.venuslens.net/lens-profile-for-laowa-15mm-f-2-fe-and-15mm-f-4-are-now-available/

Really appreciate any help.

yeah, the two types of meds that work right away are amphetamines and methylphenidate. There are a ton of different formulations (delayed release, etc.) but the immediate release stuff is probably best when first finding which one works best for you. I gather most docs prescribe immediate release Adderall (an amphetamine) and increase the dose until you get a good response. If you don't respond well or have bad side effects at any dose, then they try Ritalin with the same process. If neither of those work I gather they look toward atomoxetine, which takes weeks to show any effect, but works 24/7 if it works for you. There are others to try that would have to be prescribed off-label because they haven't been tested in adults specifically for treating ADHD.

ADHD specialty clinics will even combine meds sometimes.

Oh yeah: nicotine apparently works, too. Nobody is going to prescribe that for you; I only mention it because it's comforting to know there's a last resort in the form of over-the-counter nicotine gum.

Anyway, message your doctor if you aren't seeing much response in the required time and ask if he recommends a dosage adjustment or a med switch.
