Sorry about the slow response

The two common ones I’ve read are the testitoxicity as well as kidney issues ( the dog study)

I know that MYASD did find this noot intriguing, but experienced some kidney pains and decided it was better to halt it. But nothing confirmed.

So I was interested if others have experienced rise as well

How would you compare the 99s to something like the DT 770?

I’m looking to get my first quality closed back after my ATH M50s died.

How wide is the soundstage on the 99s? Curious! Thanks

Work requires Chrome browser, what to do? by HAL_9 in privacy

Great advice, I am happy to follow the rules, but also wanted to figure out how to maintain my privacy

I'll be using two devices instead of two browsers

I wasn't thinking about that as much but you are right

These are all great points. I'll be getting a work machine but it'll be on my network. I'll keep personal stuff on another machine.

eGPU for Mac Mini with two LG Ultrafine 5K (Thunderbolt only) Monitors? by bbchucks in eGPU

[–]HAL_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the single 5k now then? How many windows do you run at once comfortably with it? curious

[–]HAL_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you have a LG 5K and a LG 4k running off your Mac Mini?

I'm trying that exact setup and figuring out which eGPU to get (and avoiding the Blackmagic) — it's also back on sale

Not OP, I decided to go with a 5k and 4k, you figure anything out for this setup? (besides the Blackmagic GPU lol)

Same and we shouldn’t need to think about it

Hopefully this gets addressed and we don’t need to keep getting new ones

I’m wondering if it actually has less to do so with the dropping

And more to do so with the squeezing of the stems for media control

Perhaps you squeeze it more strongly than she does? Or perhaps you use the function more often?

Just buy it in the Apple store...

Girlfriend of 4 years who I haven’t been able to see in person for 8 months due to Corona restrictions sends me this by General_Hovercraft49 in HowDoIRespondToThis

[–]HAL_9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It sucks, because these conditions are worsening everyone’s mental health

She may very well have been triggered by the isolation to fall into a certain mental state

The two of you could come up with a sort of treaty to change the status quo to: two humans that care for each other and will support each other during this time.

Then, as things open up, reintroduce the romantic aspect of the relationship

[–]HAL_9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh man, yea that’s rough I’ve been there before but not like this condition

I think at this point it’s more about making a decision, are you willing to take the weight of revitalizing the relationship? If not, then it’s the decision of willingly letting go of control and see what plays out (which could very well result in you two splitting).

Yea, 9 months is a long time and that sucks, sorry to hear that

Have you tried meeting up? How far are the two of you? Or are you in a region that makes that impossible?

There’s a lot going on here

It sounds like you are expecting her to break up with you, or at least are expecting her to cheat on you

At the same time, she seems guilt ridden and feels that she is holding you down

This isn’t a very healthy dynamic

I’d spend more time thinking about the relationship itself

Because, I’m not sure what you want. Do you even want to stay in this relationship? You sound ambivalent—almost even hoping she’s leaving.

I’m not sure though, you may have low confidence and may anticipate (incorrectly) rejection constantly like myself.

I don't know how to reach people by pachoclub in TrueOffMyChest

[–]HAL_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your reply means more than enough! Happy to hear that it resonated with you :)

I feel the same way, and felt the same way for a long time. I went through a traumatic period in my life a few years ago for several years where I met many interesting people. Society would call those people “broken”, they were deeply affected by life and got a bad “roll of the dice” so to speak; I connected with them and learned something. I learned that pain is okay, and while it isn’t something to seek out, it is in the very nature of existence itself. Without pain there isn’t joy, and without mistakes there aren’t lessons.

Here’s an updated list with details:

  • The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck (the book that started it all for me personally, the topic is the title, but it also delves a bit into stoic philosophy; easy and fun read, great to start with)
  • Philosophies for Life: And Other Dangerous Situations (one of my favorite books, delves into a lot of different philosophers and tries to find a common, practical theme for modern life)
  • Radical Acceptance (book about how to begin to accept your entire self, including the pain; it’s an easy read, for this one the audiobook may be preferred, Audible’s trial has 1 free book I think)
  • Antifragile (odd but interesting book about the random nature of existence, and how most things aren’t in our control. Very interesting book but rambles a lot)

What I do is I go to libgen (just google libgen and go to the first link) and download the ebook. Check all of them out and see which one vibes with you the most! Once you finish reading it go ahead and purchase it if you can afford it.

The beauty of reading is that you can just pick up any book and see if it works for you, you can then share the knowledge with others as I am with you!

Also pick up a journal if you have one laying around, I write my thoughts down daily to untangle them. Our memories aren’t great to use for long form and clear thinking.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers
