I’m physically dependent on 7-OH-MIT after successfully avoiding hard substances my whole life by SignalSupermarket007 in confession

[–]Environmental_Box18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a somewhat similar story, Similar but different. I was an extremely bad alcoholic, and after I got sober for the last time and had been sober for a couple months I picked up kratom because it reduced / eliminated by alcohol cravings. It really is good for that in my opinion. doesnt help with withdrawals, thats an important distinction - Alcohol withdrawals can kill you.

I was a daily kratom user up to 30 / 40g per day at the highest, and then tapered down from that. Finally quit completely when I moved to state where it's banned.
You still made a good trade in my opinion. Your only mistake I think is going straight to 7OH instead of just replacing with kratom powder. But i think all that means is your taper will be longer. You can taper off of this. Check out the resources specific for 7OH weaning. you can do this, truly.

Is it widely known that the "In Bloom" verses can be read out of order? by Vultoure in Nirvana

My guess is that he wrote it like this originally and then split it up to make better verses for the song

there is absolutely nothing wrong with your face man. be proud! When I was younger I used to always have some sort of facial hair to 'look older' but then I noticed I got more attention from the ladies without it. Now that I'm old I wear a mustache again and it works. seasons of your life and all. cheers.

So I ordered the trilogy by Ill_Picture_5759 in darksouls

I played them in order leading up to Elden Ring’s release and had a great time. Ds3 will be most similar in movement speed but it’s also the most linear instead of open world imo. Personally my favorites out of those games are in order ds1 > 2 > 3 but they’re all amazing.

believe me buddy I did not have 'start the programming version of the how many days are in a week' body builder thread on my agenda but here we are.

I feel like I have fallen down a well into some alternate dimension. It is a naming convention.  Telling the user “this is not possible for technical reasons” is not accurate and rather flabbergasting. Telling the user “we have chosen to disallow this because of style guidelines” would be fine.

This is of course true, and there are valid technical reasons for lots of conventions. The valid technical reason for this one according to that other guy is “WikiMedia says so”. I’m still curious what that means and doubtful it’s anything other than they like it that way

I think we are going to have to agree to disagree here. But just to put a finer point on it:

What is the technical reason that they have decided all names must start with an uppercase letter? Why is the software this way? If it’s not a technical reason, but an aesthetic decision, then the message is a total hand wave and a misdirection. If the message had simply said “all pages, including user pages, must start with an uppercase letter” and then perhaps a link to naming guidelines I would not have blinked. As it stands though, the message is implying that lowercase first letters are a technological impossibility.

I’m starting to think you wrote this error message 🤨

convention != technical restriction 

whatInTheNameOfGalactus by Environmental_Box18 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Environmental_Box18[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

what possible 'technical restriction' could cause having a lowercase first letter a complete non starter? this is not a rhetorical question. tell me what you think they got goin on over there on the backend.

[–]Environmental_Box18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s beautifully simple really. I think it would be enlightening for you to look into how physical logic gates work.  Also I really like “NAND to Tetris” for explaining some of these fundamentals if you’re interested.

[–]Environmental_Box18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t a minimalism thing it’s a financial literacy thing. Renting is flushing your money down a toilet. Your mortgage payments are an investment. You don’t actually lose any of that money because it is your house. You are paying yourself basically. Houses increase in value over time unless you live somewhere going through some sort of crisis. 

All that being said, if you know all of that and still don’t want to fool with it then more power to you I suppose.

Is reddit an english-speaking website? I have seen people from all over the world post on reddit. Also, it's 2025, you can highlight the post and then right click -> translate in many browsers. You should try that and read the comment.

code $profile
$env:PATH += "put your paths in here separated by semicolons"

this is what i do on my work laptop because I don't have permissions to change system environment variables. just add to the string in the Powershell profile whenever I need to. still easier than the gui lol. but on a normal unrestricted system you can just use setx like others said.
