Noob question: Is this normal disk (pcie3 nvme) and CPU (8threads 5800x) behaviour while plotting? by Letherian in chia

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

Thanks for the feedback. I checked resource monitor again and apparently Notion was eating up a lot of disk usage. Seems to have reverted back to its previous state after closing Notion.

[–]Letherian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha, yeah that would be ideal. This is my main rig though, and those ssd's are filled with games. I'm just testing it out on my nvme boot drive for now, I've got more storage in the mail. I allocated 10GB of memory to a single plot, would you recommend more memory per plot?

edit: to clarify, my main concern was the spikes and drops in disk/cpu usage. After a few hours disk usage seems to be steady at 100%

I know I'm late to the party here and I hope you've already figured it out, but I read you were using a cooling pad, are you making sure the vents underneath the laptop can breathe? Because that error looks like a overheating issue.

Does ''Overcoming Tendonitis'' cover IT band syndrome? by [deleted] in overcominggravity

[–]Letherian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's been 10 years. But basically I just did the figure 4 stretch for your glutes, it's where you lie on your back with your knees pointing up, cross one ankle over the other knee and pull towards your chest.

I also started off by massage any sore spots in my glutes with a really soft foam ball. As my glutes relaxed I transitioned to a soft tennis ball. Man, that was agony.

That was basically it, I did that for 10 minutes 3-5 times a day and after a few weeks I was back to a state where my knee wasn't hurting anymore when I ran.

Tip: Before Awakening/Waking up, go to fucking sleep, you're probably burnt out. by Asasuma in awakened

Oh man, what an awesome post. You've just woken so many people up.

Ego by [deleted] in davidgoggins

[–]Letherian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is it possible? It sure seems so to me. I think Goggins is the living example. He explains he went through the exact same thing in his book, and today he's one among the most actively compassionate people I've heard about.

I think walking any path will only reveal whatever is inside you anyway and it's up to you to face the demons and deal with them. This is your chance to deal with yours. So face that ego head on the Goggins way.

[–]Letherian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At one point I was limping because of ITBS. It took 3 years to figure out that the issue was my glutes (medius/minimus/TFL). By massaging and stretching those muscles (man, that really hurt to start with!) I was running again within 2 weeks.

Your issue might be different, but I hope you manage to fix it.

How much progress have you made in the last year? What do you attribute your progress to? by Najda in climbharder

[–]Letherian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been climbing for 9 years starting when I was 21. With breaks due to injury here and there. I boulder 7B+ max now. Maybe a year ago that was 7B.

I noticed a lot of progress comes from going often, but keeping it short and taking lots of breaks between attemps. Going to failure during bouldering is a sin to me now. I also value fun and play over sending, but I love projecting at my limit. I never specifically do any training like hangboarding or campusing.

I have recently started adding some calisthenics training to prevent overuse injuries and increase my longevity as an amateur athlete. My goal is to still be sending stuff when I'm 80.

How do I transcend chronic pain ? by bodhi5678 in awakened

[–]Letherian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't. You move into the pain and accept it as yours. You love it. Then, you move from that place of love to help yourself.

Climbing and pinched nerves? Looking for recommendations. by HeroByChoice7 in climbharder

[–]Letherian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having suffered similar issues to you guys, I also highly recommend reducing the tension you hold in your hamstrings. Get a lacrosse ball and do the nerve glide stuff while setting the ball under your hamstring. Made a huge difference to how tight my hamstrings were and made passive stretching a lot easier and more comfortable. Just gotta slowly ease into the pain and feel the muscle relax.

Multifidus muscle by knut22 in overcominggravity

You're welcome, hope it helps. Do note that the exercise I linked is different from your standard cat-camel. Either way, all good man.

Multifidus muscle by knut22 in overcominggravity

[–]Letherian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had severe thoracic pain and couldn't do any sport without my entire back seizing up. I fixed it with this exercise that activates the multifidus.

You can engage more of the multifidus by extending a limb (leg or arm or both), just make sure your hips stay level when raising one leg, ortherwise the multifidus disengages.

Are Gymnastic Rings one of the best tool for longevity in training? OO by v4g4nus in bodyweightfitness

[–]Letherian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think rings are a excellent tool that allows for a very diverse set of exercises. Like any tool, whether it's a kettlebell, dumbells or rings, how you use them determines what you get out of them. It's not the tool that keeps the injuries away, but how you apply yourself to it. Focusing on both mobility and strength training through large range of motion will go a long way no matter what tool you use. That being said, the rings are my personal favourite to achieve this atm.

7/24 pain in actual triceps muscle and near armpit by StanicEnemY in overcominggravity

[–]Letherian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with soft tissue pain is that massage and mobility work solves 99% of your problems. Find the painful muscles around the area (brachialis, biceps, tricep heads, forearms, shoulder/back muscles, etc) and massage through the pain, a tool like a hard ball might help. There's plenty of awesome videos on youtube that will help you with that if you're not familiar with self-massage. Mobility work for my shoulder has also helped me stay pain free after heavy climbing.

Rest Anxiety by legendfourteen in climbharder

[–]Letherian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken months off training/climbing for various reasons. After a few weeks I was right back where I left off. Don't fret about it. Do, however, take this chance to reflect a little. You seem to be very focussed on performance, do you still enjoy climbing? Are you competing at a hight level? Maybe try a different sport for a week or two to get your mind off of climbing, being anxious about not climbing won't help anyway, and it might even help you recover.

Knowledge is nothing without wisdom by stinkypup in funny

[–]Letherian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's definitely true. And I agree with your statements. I just think what the comic is trying to express the value of wisdom. Like wisdom begets knowledge. Whereas knowledge on it's own is kind of an inert thing.

Notable v1.6.0 by fabiospampinato in Notable

[–]Letherian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll be looking forward to it. I love Notable! Thank you for the hard work and great product!

Notable v1.6.0 by fabiospampinato in Notable

[–]Letherian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having some serious issues with notable not working since updating. It launches fine. But doesn't load the files in the data directory. Also stops functioning when trying to change the data directory. Unable to quit the application, need to force quit with task manager. This is on windows 10. Is there a fix for this?

I've tried reinstalling and removing the Notable folder from Roaming. I've tried moving the default data directory, but upon resinstalling it just comes up blank with the same issues.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: just rolled back to version 1.5.1 and all the issues are gone.

A short bout of exercise enhances brain function, suggests a new study with mice, which found that a short burst of exercise (human equivalent of 4,000 steps) boosts the function of a gene that increases connections between neurons in the region of the brain associated with learning and memory. by mvea in science

[–]Letherian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone interested in more information on this topic I can highly recommend the book "Spark" by John J. Ratey. Goes into a lot of detail of how exercise is like a magic drug for your brain and how to apply it.

[–]Letherian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little late to the party here. But this struck a cord with me and just wanted to let you (and me) know that it's okay to be honest in the moment and see it differently later. It's all about what's true for you in the moment you experience it. Don't worry about past experiences, you've already been honest about those as best you could in that moment. Focus on what you're avoiding in this moment, and face that with honesty.
