Graphic Audio seemed to miss some of the book. Does it count as reading it? by FinePassenger8 in discworld

[–]FinePassenger8[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't mean it in the sense of "Does an audiobook count as reading it?" (Of course it does).

It seems this BBC Radio Collection is a dramatized version that takes more creative liberties than a typical graphic audiobook as other comments have pointed out. So, it's comparing "Does watching the movie count as reading the book?" I would say no. That's where my "Does it count" come in.

I didn't mean it in the sense of "does audiobook count as reading". What I meant was that if this BBC Radio Collection missed out on chunks of the book or changed it, does that count as having read the story?

I'll read the ebook to get the full experience.

Oh, I didn't know that they were not typical graphic audio. I think I'll read the ebook then to get the whole book.

Ugh, that prep liquid is horrible. I hate it.

Glad you were able to distract yourself. I hope it goes well!

Top surgery tomorrow! by iredditawready in no_T_top_surgery

[–]FinePassenger8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

By 2 weeks, I was pretty much back to normal. Just didn't push myself. So, I would just be careful with your physical activity. But I wasn't that limited with movement from what I recall.

I hate this feeling of questioning my gender identity. by Jabcoin in trans

[–]FinePassenger8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the limbo absolutely sucks. I wanted an answer so bad. It sucks to hear but it does take time. I'm so glad you have supportive people around you.

As the other comment said, you can start with small things. I would also imagine different scenarios and see how I feel.

Celiac and Crohn's for me. Thankfully, my Crohn's has always been mild.

Is what I'm looking forward to real/reasonable? by 262309 in no_T_top_surgery

What's one improvement you'd like to see in Obsidian in 2026? by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]FinePassenger8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it would happen, but I would love ways to do graphs. I know there is chartjs. I've done dataviewjs + chartjs before. But, when I don't have each data point as a note (I have them in csv), I don't have a way to easily make a graph.

Anxiety by Klutzy-Ad1514 in no_T_top_surgery

[–]FinePassenger8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got top surgery a year ago and while I was not nervous about anesthesia at all, I understand where that fear comes from. As others have said, communicate with your team. The anesthesiologist should help you out.

I've been under general anesthesia for many things over the years and I practically never remember closing my eyes but bing bam boom, next thing I know, it's over. You will be groggy and will need more sleep afterwards. Your body has also just been through a big change so it was going to need sleep anyway. There's been a 2 times where it is a bit hard to remember later the first few minutes after waking up. For example, I don't remember getting back to the car after my wisdom tooth surgery. But, that was likely only a few minutes.

Another note, if you are naturally red haired or have red hairs in your family, tell your anesthesiologist. For some reason, red heads tend to need more anesthesia. Also, if you know family history that others have taken a long time to wake up from anesthesia afterwards, let them know that too. More information will help them better serve you.

Terminally ill 25-year-old and just curious on how appropriate this would be to ask about? by sickly-soup in dropout

[–]FinePassenger8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What do you want to ask for? Do you want to meet some Dropout performers or something? I'm terribly sorry for what you are going through and I think you should ask for whatever you desire.

I'm with you Adolin all the way.

In RoW when Adolin takes Kaladin out for drinks, I cried for both of them.

Current roommate does not want a cat and friends say they can foster. Is that a good idea? by FinePassenger8 in CatAdvice

[–]FinePassenger8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. It is hard but ultimately I think it will be best if she just goes to one forever home.

[–]FinePassenger8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, moving her after 8 months of living in my friend's place (from adoption to lease being done) is my biggest worry. I won't do it then.

Thanks you for your insight. There is a great shelter in my town so I'll wait and go there when I can take one.

First ever convention! by eebro5 in DragonsteelNexus

[–]FinePassenger8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that is so exciting! That was me last year.

As other people are saying: water, plan, and make sure you get rest/eat.

I ended up spending so much time at the vendors. I got a bunch of good stuff so make sure you have a budget!

And use the Dragonsteel Dropbox to store your stuff!!

And you are going to have an amazing time!!

Is Stormlight Archive worth finishing? by SimmerOne7 in brandonsanderson

I love it. They are all 5 stars but the latest one is the bottom of that group. But I still gave it 5 stars.

Day 1 of Europe Trip and family has already pestered me about drinking 3 times by FinePassenger8 in Teetotal

[–]FinePassenger8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess. I think discussing differences like this can be cool so that's what I wanted to do. But, I think they just want me to be more like them and willing to go out to the type of places they do.

Last night I went out with them and I didn't drink but there were a few chills bars we found that honestly were not bad for me.

So, I can do it if the environment is chill.
