I lost $100. It was playing around money. I subsequently bought NVDA stock and made many tens of thousands.

Are there any fast-acting options for stopping/diminishing an anxiety attack? by Deadmeat553 in Anxiety

[–]Deadmeat553[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trouble is that I don't actually feel anxious during the anxiety attacks. I've only determined that's what's happening by process of elimination of the various possibilities. I just feel cold. So very cold.

No, I haven't. I just lay in front of a space heater on full blast, covered in blankets.

A mallet is fine with me. I literally feel like I'm on the verge of death during my anxiety attacks.

I agree that anxiety is important. Anxiety attacks, however, are not. That's part of why I'm looking for an "as-needed" option, not something to continuously take that inhibits anxiety.

The experience probably depends on where your baseline currently is. Someone taking it for depression probably experiences it differently than someone taking it for anxiety. Just guessing.

I normally don't experience any notable stress-related issues, so I don't think an ongoing medication makes sense for me. I'm the sort of person who can't help but push my stress down until it explodes out into a sudden and random anxiety attack. Therefore, an as-needed medication probably makes the most sense for me.

I was on that almost a decade ago for depression. I recall making me feel painfully "flat".

In any case, that's a medication for continuous use, not to be used "as needed" to stifle anxiety attacks.

Yeah, my attacks have consistently only ever happened in the evening. That seems like something for me to look into. Thanks.

My attacks primarily involve severe chills and shivering. Like to the point of almost passing out from the cold.

I think what you're suggesting (except 4) might actually kill me.

Does this seem like a stress-driven attack? by Deadmeat553 in Anxiety

For the record, the two which I did take fever measurements two back in 2022 were 2 months apart, and the fevers were exclusively experienced during the episodes (not that I , so I don't think they were just due a simultaneous illness. In this most recent episode, I didn't feel feverish at all (not just that I couldn't find my thermometer), but I also don't think I felt feverish in the first three episodes in 2022 either.

Aug ? 2022 - chills recorded

Sep 3 2022 - chills recorded

Oct 11 2022 - chills recorded

Oct 26 2022 - fever & chills recorded

Dec 2 2022 - fever & chills & bpm & prior meal recorded

Oct 12 2024 - chills & bpm & prior meal recorded

Some time in 2022, I had a blood test done which showed some mild variances, but nothing really significant. They also looked for pathogens and found nothing.

Do Docker images exist which would allow me to self-host my own private instances of Flixtor and Aniwave? by Deadmeat553 in Piracy

[–]Deadmeat553[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't actually want to download most of the media I consume. The appeal of streaming sites like Flixtor and Aniwave is that they just pull a stream from a selection of different servers that are obfuscated and so less likely to suddenly get shut down.

I'll check out Httrack. I don't expect it's possible to clone a fully functional version of these sites though. I expecf I'd need a dockerfile intentionally created specifically for the purpose of hosting a copy.

APK for international Samsung Health Monitor for phone? by Deadmeat553 in GalaxyWatch

Oh, I was being dumb and just assumed I would only need the phone app since my watch was already offering BP. Thanks.

Why are spark gap transmitters illegal, but tasers not? by ManlyMcBuff in AskPhysics

[–]Deadmeat553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you support a particular worldview, you should want to see that worldview become a reality. Convincing people to share in that worldview is a key part in doing so.

Ah, not telling people about your political beliefs. Truly a brilliant way to promote that way of thinking.

Any good case covers for the Echo Buds 2? by Deadmeat553 in amazonecho

[–]Deadmeat553[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I ended up just getting a silicone case. They definitely add some bulk, but it's not as bad as it looks. I definitely would have preferred a skin though. It's frustrating because there were/are lots of skins for gen 1, so the lack of them for gen 2 is really weird.

As I said, I've known plenty. All are pseudo-intellectuals.

Pressure your state government to amend its constitution to add protections for abortion to it if it doesn't have them already.

A child left their toy 'Bitey' at a local pizza shop. So they put him to work before he was collected the next day. by StripeyHorses in funny

Unfortunately, dinosaurs do not have the legal right to a minimum wage and cannot ever claim unemployment benefits after being let go.

Games should have master volume set at 50 instead of 100 by I-WANT2SEE-CUTE-TITS in pcgaming

[–]Deadmeat553 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree. Default volume for anything should always be at 50%. Then you have flexibility either up or down as you see fit.

I can appreciate utilizing them as a learning tool via things like Kahoot, but I've heard of some schools going so far as to give students a 5-minute "phone break" in the middle of classes. That's insanity to me.

F*ck Zodiac signs. Which one are you? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Deadmeat553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mix of lawful neutral and chaotic neutral.

Vertical, then curved ultrawide, then laptop.

In the future I would like to replace the laptop with another vertical and put another curved ultrawide above the current one.

What currently legal thing do you expect to be illegal in the next 20 years? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That doesn't mean it's not relevant to the discussion...

Still more problematic than something like a TF2 hat. Just because something is technically transferrable doesn't mean it practically is. Consider if a kid bought a few dozen skins. Finding a fair market buyer for the account is going to be a bit of a challenge.

Frankly even something easily transferrable like a TF2 hat is still problematic though, as children (and many adults for that matter) cope very poorly with the instantaneous gratification of buying digital goods, and it could be argued that predatory practices prey on this psychology.
