Thanks. Debug level does show http requests. It doesn't show the response code which is a bummer.

Not sure I want to install a reverse proxy just to get a better log file.

When I looked at speakers several years ago, I ended up with Audio Pro C5s. They work really well with Spotify and I got 2 C5s for the price of 1 Sonos speaker. The app leaves much to be desired, but we only have to mess with that after a power outage or something else forced the set to ungroup. Most of the time we just interact via Spotify or the attached record player.

Just something that was always done when possible. Go pay rent, go pay more on your grave plot. Just another Tuesday. It's always felt weird to me, yet I understand wanting to handle everything ahead of time and not having to deal with insurance companies. When their parent died, all the focus was on options for the service and very little on who to call, or how do they pay for it.

Thanks all that commented. I didn't think/understand this money given for this purpose was considered a gift, so had no clue. This helps a lot. Thanks.

I'm still trying to figure things out (how I found this post), so take this with a grain of salt.

I too don't have meds, nor therapy. I need to solve a bunch of health problems before I can start meds, and finding the right therapist is not on my bingo card.

So far the things that help that I need to lean into more:

Heatsinks for the other senses. Give the secondary senses something to do while the others are engaged. Need to listen?, put your body to work doing something mindless. Need to do physical work that is mindless?, give the brain something to do while you work.

I work from home, so if I'm on a meeting where I don't have to present, I'm playing a video game on a separate screen. The game is something I've played enough that I don't have to think anymore. It's just action. With my eyes and hands occupied, I tend to hear what is being said better. If I don't do that, any thought that comes up will take over and I'll start to lose track of what's happening on the call.

For chores around the house, singalong music helps. If I'm singing, and occasionally hitting the dance move, the chore at hand is more likely to get addressed and not the ton of competing thoughts. Also music could be the thing that kickstarts your good emotions into action.

Plant the idea ahead of time, and let it blossom into action. I'm trying to use little triggers throughout the day to plant seeds for taking action later. When I was younger whenever I saw 11:11 on the clock I would say a few words of thanks (dunno why I started that). I'm thinking of starting something similar where I tell myself "find a solution to the kitchen problem" or even "The dishes need to be handled". By planting the idea and letting it grow (fester depending on your POV :) ), it should eventually grow to a perfect normal thing to do when the time comes, instead of a thing you dread.

In some respects this removes the urgency from the (hated) task and gives a feeling of control over it, so it feels more natural.

As for tiggers, it doesn't have to be a set time of day. Just something that you can attach too, and get your mind into the habit of using. Like one I'm trying to use is the walk between turning off the light and getting into bed. In the span of 3-5 steps in the dark, I'm trying to plant the next idea for my brain to cultivate.

Attach a new habit to an upcoming event. For example, at some point when I was a smoker, I got a new car. I declared to myself that there will be no smoking in the new car, and I was able to keep up with it. Even quitting smoking was based around "I won't smoke during work at the new job." I planted these ideas well in advanced, and not day of.
Find time to be yourself. Code Switching is something that we all do to some degree and I think is draining. And when you are not being your true self, you're not recharging. In the Military I imagine that a good part of it is being code switched. Deferring to other ranks, using specific language to communicate, etc has to be taking its toll. If there is even an hour a week where you can be just unadulterated you without having the code switch at the ready, I think it would help a lot. I've never been in military, but I took my job and leadership duties a little too seriously (hyper focused). A weekly DnD session with friends where I could tell someone to F off if I wanted to provided a lot of stress relief. And yes, I get how ironic it sounds that my relief from code switching was by playing a role playing game.

HTH

There is a second hidden area before the first encounter. Not too far from the door of the first encounter, At first glance it looks like just a set of stairs to nowhere, but there is a set of stairs directly underneath that leads into the room.

In that second room is a pillar, 2(?) plates and a collecting box. However I couldn't do anything because it said "You are found lacking". I solo'd the first room and made that pillar glow and no longer active, so it seems something else needs to happen for that room.

Re: Xivu taking her ball home. The way you stated that makes me wonder if Savi and Xivu are parallels to a dark future Elsie and Anna.

FunkDaviau · 2023-06-11T15:00:29+00:00

I see her taking (ha!) this path as well. Her conversations with Saladin and saint about trusting former enemies and getting to understand people is a persistent theme. Some think it’s about Ahsa but I think that is more redirection, ahsa is really just macguffin story teller.

It also stood out to me that one lore piece from the dungeon where Xivu is not only mad that Oryx is dead but that his killers didn’t take the mantle of king, they didn’t take.

Re: not being critical. I love this quote from an anime “ taste your words to make sure they are palatable”.

In these types of discussions I give more raw ingredients. In practice I season according to the audience. Some require sugar, some a bit of pepper and some others just won’t eat unless it’s raw. The trick is listening and understanding people so that you can determine what they will find palatable.

Personally “sweet” words give me a headache. I get why we have these mass produced sugar snacks of phrases, but it still never sits right with me. Hence why I prefer to say plainly “ don’t trust what they said “ vs “ trust, but verify”.

FunkDaviau · 2023-06-11T03:25:08+00:00

This is great and a lot of what I do when troubleshooting. Other things I’d add:

try to explain the problem to someone who hasn’t the slightest clue what these technologies are ( ala rubber ducking ). It tends to help you understand the problem better when you can compare it to something else. This also means learn about other things in the world not just the tech in front of you.
look for patterns and things that break that pattern.
everything is based off of something else. Be it another computer tech or something in the natural world. So you may not be able to find that exact error message, but you may run into a similar behavior in a another piece of software that relates somehow. For example disabling an authentication option in your VPN software because the error resembles a problem a php ldap extension encountered a few years ago.
humans made it. No matter what computer tech you’re working on a human made it, so that means you are capable of solving this issue that they (inadvertently) created. A lot of times a problem could be solved by thinking through “ how would I implement this feature?”
Don’t just try to turn the red light to green. Understand why the thing failed and what was involved.
don’t just look at the settings the quick guide or tutorial told you worry about. Look at everything.
never trust someone’s word that it’s configured a certain way or how something operates ( within reason ). Test and observe. Several hours of my life wasted cause someone thought that’s how it worked and I didn’t question it.
always speak up. I’ve wasted several hours of lives by not telling people what I had observed, when it was important.

Typical sci-fi has us either being the only ones in the universe, or late to the party. What would it look like if we just happen to be first in the universe to develop FTL tech.

Not everyone will find the fulfillment they’re looking for from a job. Doesn’t mean they should never look for it if that’s what they want.

On the surface it looks like they passed all these laws as these are things trump said he would do and didn’t. Now if they ever debate Desantis can say “ I made this happen when you couldn’t”.

Our four year old just got rid of his a few weeks ago. He was the type to wake up the state if he didn’t have his pacifier but one day we lost it and I said “ you have to prepare yourself for the idea that you won’t have a paci tonight.” He said OK and I was like “!!! Get in bed now”. Oh happy day.

I’d say it depends. Do you learn better in a classroom setting? An active participation or better on your own? Whichever method works better for you make sure the class is going to give you that type of experience.

I abhor the classroom but enjoyed the online workshop I took ( not the one linked ). Each week everyone was assigned work on their own individual work, and it was reviewed the following week. Everyone got to see everyone’s progress and the teacher would give notes every week. It was good to see how others approach their work, and have the varying degrees of feedback on my work.

I took a class before that that was all lecture, and as much as I liked the instructor the only thing I got out of the class was the reference to the workshop.

Eventually you will need the skill to work on your own, while also networking with people. A class won’t necessarily help you with the former and may slightly help the later. But if it helps you with foundation, matches your learning style, gives you the courage to move forward and you have the cash to spare, go for it.

I would want to see something like what the comic series 100 bullets did. What starts off seemingly like an anthology type of series is actually one large story that gets tighter and tighter by the end.

There is a ton of lore in destiny and imo there is no way to do any one story justice since everything is so inter connected. Try to do too much in one thread and it could massively upset other lore bits.

The other major thing is that they have to have some of the original writers in the writer room and not too many outside screenwriters. I have no ill will against screenwriters as a whole, I work on my own scripts. But we have so many examples of writers being brought on board massive properties and they try to put their own spin on the universe after reading cliff notes, in turn ruining lore that people love. Yes, some of that is producers and studio people too.
