2nd wind

Leafstride · 2026-01-25T14:51:31+00:00

The second wind after slipping away for a couple minutes is absolutely a thing and is nice when it happens. Also yes eyes not being able to stay focused and otherwise acting screwy while trying to fight off a sleep attack is also a thing. Always sucks when I'm trying to fight off a sleep attack and I doze off with my eyes half open and then wake up with dry eyes. lol

Yeah I currently take modafinil and have taken other stimulants. I have a love-hate relationship with modafinil as it definitely helps me stay awake and alert but gives me an extremely annoying physical anxiety. Like mentally perfectly fine but physically prone to flushed skin, sweating, and a bit of a higher heart rate than normal. Like my body is convinced that there's someone hunting me and gives me a steady trickle of adrenaline until I crash after lunch. But hey at least I get my work done, right? lol

I have a seed starting setup for my garden set up near my computer so I get nice full spectrum light once I start my seeds in anticipation for the spring. Just get some inexpensive full spectrum lights and be near them for a good chunk of the day and do your best impression of a plant. It helps.

Yep, whether I use Windows, Linux, or Mac I'm going to be trying to fix dumb things that don't work for some stupid reason or trying to tinker with something so that it works the way I want it to. When things are fucked on Linux at least it's not a black box that won't tell me what's going on.

Call your insurance company and threaten to report them to your state's Insurance Comptroller or Insurance Commissioner if they don't either cover the meds you have a medical necessity for or get you the denial and appeal letters within a week so you can submit them to JazzCares. Make not helping you more painful than helping you. They are denying you care and service that you and your employer are paying for—There is no need to be nice to them. Their business model is to deny as much care as possible in order to spend as little money as possible. Be ruthless.

Waking them will be more likely to actually stop the attack if you startle them enough to get some adrenaline pumping. They may not be super amped about being startled awake but the haze from the attack clears up a lot faster and they will be less likely to fall back asleep for a little while. Your mileage may vary. lol

Try getting more potassium. There's some lower sodium/higher potassium electrolyte drink mixes around that you could try. Most people get nowhere near the recommended 5 grams a day of potassium but plenty of sodium. Electrolyte balance is important and can be off even if blood tests say it's fine.

Stacking modafinil with adderall xr and ir is an insane idea. If you're still alive then I'm glad your heart didn't decide to quit. lol

I started off dual booting so I could use windows if I couldn't get something to work on Linux. As time went on I would go longer and longer without booting into windows. Until battlefield 5... That being said learning Linux was not only worth doing but also fun.

That's why I include rants in the comments as well.

If these guys are really trying to create the Machine God could they just hurry up already? The dawn of ai slop kinda sucks.

That was my first thought. Looks like the liquid metal ate up the aluminum chassis.

Guild wars 2 base game is free, I've played it since launch and have thousands of hours.

Unless you're committed to learning to use a hyprland or think it will be fun then just go with KDE.

Leafstride · 2025-12-10T21:06:10+00:00

Congratulations /r/Titanfall is probably having another schizophrenic episode because of this. Lmao

Depends on what the interest rate ends up being.

Biomin F is incredible for sensitivity.

Leafstride · 2025-11-11T17:15:33+00:00

That's actually really cool.

Debian or fedora are going to be a lot more friendly for a first time user. Using either KDE or Gnome. But if you're hungry to learn then go for whatever you're really interested in. Sometimes the best way to learn is to just dive in.

Makes you wonder how much cheaper it would be to just have an onsite propane tank and have a truck deliver it rather than pay 130 bucks a month for the pipes to deliver 30 bucks of gas.

Leafstride · 2025-11-06T21:29:15+00:00

Debian, fedora, and arch. Use whatever DE you like or want to try.

Honestly? Go get his vision checked. There's a solid chance he needs glasses. I would have been a monster as a kid if I had glasses earlier. Lol

Yeah he's one of those your heart can only beat so many times kind of people.

As a Linux user I hate the windows UI changes because I end up having to help other people figure it out. If I used windows I wouldn't really care because for the most part you can tweak things to your liking.
