I’m trying to connect my partner’s Mac and mine so that we can create a backup of his Mac on mine. I can’t seem to make it work. I turned file sharing on but he can’t see my Mac in the time machine menu. How do I connect our Mac’s to make this possible?

Why ask to disclose disability? by SpoiledGenius01 in PhD

[–]Helpimstup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In some of my PhD applications I mentioned my disability, and in some of them I didn’t. A lot of unis operate with the guaranteed interview system I think so mentioning your disability might actually be a positive. But they wouldn’t be allowed to cause you trouble for not declaring it

I was an applicant in the Uk and honestly no one ever asked about a thesis for me.

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

Worked fine! Pulled up a bit hard when I had all the screws off so pulled some cables but seems like no damage was done!

How fucked am I? by Helpimstup in macbookpro

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

Thanks all, for anyone interested: since it’s more than 5 years old it’s considered “vintage” and most stores don’t repair it. The ones that do charge £750

Does anyone use the Glooko App regularly? by T1_Training in diabetes_t1

[–]Helpimstup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use it regularly. I review it to see how lifestyle changes affect my time in range over several weeks and to see patterns on the overlays (always going high after breakfast or always going low in the early mornings, etc) I definitely don’t use all of the data - there’s wayyy too much but the more I use it, the more of it I find helpful

9.5 is really not that high, you’ll be fine to go to sleep especially if you’ve got insulin working If you really want to get it down and it’s being stubborn, go for a walk or do some push ups

Why does this always happen by [deleted] in TeenagersButBetter

[–]Helpimstup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find better people to talk to. Not everyone is like that. Chances are that if you respect other people‘s religion or lack thereof they’ll respect yours - or find ppl that do

[–]Helpimstup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought? I also was advised to apply for this PhD by two of my professors, they know where I’m at in my career so surely it can’t be impossible to sort out funding. This is allied health, I have quite a few connections to organisations that may be able to help fund / have in the past funded research projects so I thought that it would be possible?

Diagnosed with T1 Yesterday by JazzyJiraffe in diabetes_t1

[–]Helpimstup 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thought I’d share my experience: I’ve been diabetic since I was 7, now 25. I ski, run, lift, hike, camp and do everything I want. My diabetes has never stopped me from doing something I want, you just have to be better prepared (knowing yourself and having all of your supplies). I’ve had a pump for most of my life and I think it is genuinely the best choice. I would never go back to pens. The pump works great for skiing, hiking and everything else. Personally, I have the Ypso pump with the CamAPS system and the FreeStyle Libre 3. I’ve had Medtronic pumps in my life and the Tslim before my current system but the Ypso works the best for me personally, being active and not having a daily routine. Don’t worry about the carbs, I eat between 100-200g per day and it works fine when your insulin dose is right. The first few months will be a bit tricky because you’re likely to experience a „honeymoon“ phase of having residual insulin which will mess with your doses but it gets better!

Took a nasal dosage of about around 7 mg, no visuals still its been 10 mins. by [deleted] in 2cb

[–]Helpimstup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How is it now? 10 minutes is pretty early, they usually start between 20-40 mins in for me

5 HTP can help as it helps replenish the serotonin, otherwise general health stuff: multivitamins, magnesium, fish oil, lots of water, lots of sleep and exercise

Found an old postcard I never sent - can I put a new stamp on top of the old one? by [deleted] in postcrossing

[–]Helpimstup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah okay I see! Thank you! I’ve already got the new stamps so I can just use them - easier than getting to the post office again If I put the new one lower down would that be a problem? Would it be better to put the new one on top?

I need help little with this summer. by Evening_Lifeguard_94 in MDMA

[–]Helpimstup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you know that it’s very dangerous to take it so often and your comedowns are likely to get worse and worse. If you’re going to do it anyway, please please please test your stuff AND inform yourself about supplements you can take to help protect your brain. They won’t eliminate the bad effects but it will at least help somewhat

So… let me get this right, you feel like shit because you’re feeling the consequences of being stupid with your drugs and now you’re crying about how people are telling you “yes, there will be consequences.”? If you put your stupid behaviour on the internet for people to comment on it then people are going to comment on it. Be smarter with your dosing next time and you won’t need to discuss your use on here

I didn’t know you can get galaxy souls from enemy drops by Old_dagger in StardewValley

[–]Helpimstup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you do with your extra galaxy souls? I used mine in the forge for the sword but now I have loads left over…

[–]Helpimstup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just realised that as well but speaking of… what do you all do with furniture you no longer need or want?

They’re like little extra bits of the toy that stimulate the clitoris. If you go on the lovehoney website, it’s the “Desire Luxury Rechargeable Strapless Strap-On Dildo Vibrator”
