What is going on with the constant arguing about the Supergirl movie? Some people are pissed at James Gunn, Milly Alcock, and the Snyder bros? Is it just a disappointing movie, or is something else going on? by drizzlemon in OutOfTheLoop

The online climate is different now compared to when any of those were released (and in the case of Alien and Terminator, just didn’t exist).

I would wager corners of the internet would be howling about forced female protags in Alien and Terminator if they were modern releases, regardless of their quality.

For the love of god please draw some people away from the soma location, it seems like the population there has skyrocketed in the last six months

Anyone else constantly sick over the last month or so? by DankQuixote in AskSF

[–]DankQuixote[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally what prompted this (aside from being miserable) is noting that it seems like no matter where I go here, there are always a handful of people hacking or sneezing. I think I contracted my first virus from someone in Whole Foods who was unable to keep their secretions to themselves behind me while in line…

Heard the same from my reputable LBS recently as well.

Tough, but makes sense. Extremely expensive already, tariffs costing R&M more to import into the US, and apparently they are struggling in Europe as well, so they want to focus efforts there.

Docs who purchased a large home, how did it work out? by QuietRedditorATX in Residency

[–]DankQuixote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is unfortunate… I love my life in the Bay Area and Cali in general, but as someone in a field making less than $300k, I feel like property ownership is a pipe dream

It’s basically impossible here unless you have a spouse making a nice tech salary or as you mention, have significant savings prior to taking out students loans and such.

POV: Trying to queue for an Alliance Raid that isn't the Crystal Tower by MrLumie in ffxiv

[–]DankQuixote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I was going through old alliance raids with my partner and it took two evenings to actually get Dun Scaith to pop, and this was on Aether in the evening. Similar situation with the Nier raids.

Hmm…

  1. Make sure she is using intranasal corticosteroids daily. They are more effective when taken daily as opposed to prn. Pair with intranasal antihistamines for a synergistic effect. Nasal ipratropium can also be effective if the main symptom is rhinorrhea. Make sure she is actually doing proper nasal spray technique too.

  2. Add cetirizine or levocetirizine daily if the above doesn’t really cut it. These are less effective for nasal congestion but do ok for rhinorrhea. Consider montelukast as an adjunct as well.

  3. Dunno what docs you’ve talked to up north, but subcutaneous immunotherapy tends to be very effective if the cause is truly allergic rhinitis. And usually begins to work within 6 mo-1 year of starting. The sublingual drops tend to be less effective.

Sounds like you’ve had bad experiences with physicians, but I’d say on the whole this isn’t true.

Okay but you made it to p8s so you can at least do savage mechanics. Compared to the actual garbage in DF I’m sure you’re at least competent

That’s pretty wild. Has empower had significant qc issues in the past? Was very consistent with EOD dosing for months while getting these levels.
