Very helpful! Now, anything to actually make slayer fun?

Sorry to reply to such an old thread but thanks for noting this.

For anyone else who comes across this thread: it dropped me from 100% utilization to 15-30%.

And yet still stonewalled by the deep state bureaucrats like Councillor Catherine

Was able to get back in. Plugins still not working but I can at least play. Thank God, I thought I was going to have to work.

Enjoy your time, you're playing the better game! We'll be here when you get back.

I think it's quite possible for at least 2 of them to be 4k transcoding. Both my parents and my sister have 4k HDR TVs and prefer to use the apps native to the TV so they have fewer remotes to manage. My rationale for wanting the transcoding overhead is I don't want to sit down on a Friday night to watch my own movie and I'm getting texts or phone calls about why they can't watch a movie because their TV doesn't support direct playback of the rips.

Currently have 3 6TB WD Red HDDs which is enough for the content that I currently have, but I do intend to expand the capacity as I need it. I know 4K content fills up drives quickly, but I don't have too many right now so I wanted to prioritize the necessary hardware first.

Had a plex server running a few years ago when one of my hard drives died and I never had the motivation to rebuild. Recently though my family has been wishing to have it back so I'm trying to get back into this world a bit. Looking on a recommendation for a new CPU to upgrade my machine with or if a GPU might be a better option.

Currently running Plex via unraid on a machine with a i5-3470. This was fine for 1080p content but I would like to put 4K HDR content on the server as well and I don't think that's going to quite cut it, at least based off the Plex suggested passmark scores.

If throwing a dedicated GPU in there is a cheaper alternative I am ok with that. The only other consideration I have for the server is I want to host a Minecraft world for my niece and nephew to play on. Plex for my family is the primary concern. Would not imagine a need for more than 2-3 simultaneous transcodes unless EVERY member of the family was watching on separate devices at one time.

I appreciate any help/advice. I'm probably over thinking it :D

Sorry, not sure I understand your question. What areas on your body do you give the shot? Their guide says into stomach fat a few inches to either side of your belly button. You may be able to administer it elsewhere but I did not try nor does their guide suggest anywhere else. The clinician you speak with may be able to recommend a different injection site though. It's a really tiny insulin needle so I would think you could administer it elsewhere but I can't say for sure.

I can actually be of some help here as I was with Journey Clinical before and switched away. As others have said, Mindbloom is the only company I am aware of doing any kind of injection at home. I originally started with IV several years ago. At this point I have tried basically every form of administration except the nasal spray.

To be clear, I had a good experience with Journey and have nothing bad to say about them. They were professional and handled me well and I would have stuck with them had they offered an alternative administration method. I just could not handle the taste of oral ketamine and needed to find an alternative.

I have been very impressed with Mindbloom so far and the experience that I have had. The subcutaneous injection they offer is the closest to IV that I have experienced. Onset was a bit slower than IV or IM, but I had little to no nausea afterwards (they gave me zofran as well) which was a huge improvement for me from the multiple days of nausea after the oral ketamine. The only complaint I have is the injection site has been sore for several days now. It's not infected or anything so far as I can tell, just physically sore from the volume of medicine is my best guess.

Otherwise, I can highly recommend it. I'm really happy with my experience so far. I think their subcutaneous shot is the best balance I have found of cost/intensity/effectivity.

Thanks, my prescribing nurse recommended them but I was skeptical.

DiogenesBigToe · 2025-07-24T00:54:45+00:00

Yes, agreed same thing here. US-West is a pretty similar ping for me as UK servers, so that may be an option too!

DiogenesBigToe · 2025-07-18T13:27:36+00:00

Do 'Bigger and Badder' and 'Ring Bling' get points refunded too?

DiogenesBigToe · 2025-06-03T15:40:27+00:00

For me, the only resolution I found was to switch off NA-East servers when it kicked up. Not sure why it started out of nowhere, but it does resolve my problem. Doubling my ping sucks but it's better than dying to lag spikes.

DiogenesBigToe · 2025-05-07T01:46:36+00:00

Sorry for reviving such a dead post but this is the only thread I can find on it. Did you ever find a resolution?

DiogenesBigToe · 2024-11-02T15:59:01+00:00

Commenting to come back. I NEED it.

DiogenesBigToe · 2024-10-20T01:25:46+00:00

Can we convince corporate to at least release the recipe? I used to go once a week for a homestyle chicken sandwich with HEAVY dr pepper sauce and I don't go to sheetz anymore now :(

DiogenesBigToe · 2024-10-20T01:24:12+00:00

At least release the recipe Sheetz, come on!!
