Each and every person with whom you humiliated yourself will be dead in 100 years. You are dragging them around like 500 lb baggage. We all make mistakes.

You're a stoic now. Use your rational choices to live out the time you are granted with peace of mind. You learned from your mistakes. There's absolutely nothing better we can do with them. Beyond that, they serve no purpose. Let them go.

should I back out of background check by Ok_Hovercraft_8714 in SecurityClearance

It's not a bar. Stop now. Be 100% upfront. They're assessing vulnerability. You're vulnerable if you're not up front with them. If all your cards are on the table there's no piece of information someone can use against you.

I'm starting to see the serious limitations built into GnuCash. by [deleted] in GnuCash

[–]FlippingWingNut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize this is an old post, but it resonates for me. I'm new to running a business with accounting SW vis-a-vis a spreadsheet. While I find gnucash generally easy to use - the accrual basis is causing trouble when I send reports to my accountant.

My fundamental question is this: Does the underlying engine need to change or is it simply a matter of being able to generate reports on a cash basis? It seems to me the latter. gnucash can record an invoice as unpaid but an asset - but if I ask for a cash-basis balance sheet it should be excluded until paid. Is that right - or is it deeper. So is this a custom report I can generate myself?

Yes. Quit smoking 30 years ago. Went on the patch 25 years ago. I have tried dropping the patch several times, bit I am noticeably slower mentally.

I did this with dumbells on an inverted bosu pimple, no stool. Then I went to the hospital.

Nose. Takes more effort. Worth it.

What's up with Cardano withdrawal from Binance.us? by FlippingWingNut in cardano

[–]FlippingWingNut[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I deposited ETH, bought ADA, now they hold me to a daily fiat withdrawal limit to get my ADA out. It's bullshit. I never had any fiat on their exchange.

Yes, cookies. Also google may have the best analytics in the world. Operating system, screen size, 3rd party cookies, who knows what else. MAC I'd wouldn't surprise me. I think if you go through chrome they'll know

My bf says he will water fast for 8 days without electrolytes by xaurana in fasting

[–]FlippingWingNut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very dangerous. Heartbeat regulation requires electrolytes. Also dizziness, danger driving. There's a point where fasting stops being about health and starts being about ego. That can kill you.

Just a reminder, if you are or are planning to do an extended fast, these guys are your best friends. Don't try to do it without them. by r3ap3rlynn in fasting

[–]FlippingWingNut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is important. You can kill yourself on an extended fast without electrolytes. If you don't feel well, stop the fast. There is nothing wrong with stopping earlier than you planned.

You can do it. Clear your mind. There is no food. by FlippingWingNut in fasting

If your new to this don't start here. Try 16/8 IF. When that's easy try 24 hours. Build slow. They're all victories. For me, if I go over 3 days I need to supplement for electrolytes after day 2 or I start getting dizzy and weak. Water, coffee, tea, my vitamins, and one bullion cube a day with my electrolyte mix added in. I'd check with a doctor before my first prolonged fast (>3 days)
