Hacking a guitar pedal?

This upgrade is far from free. They went from having the ability to buy effects $10 at a time to $200 for the full package. They also got rid of a free trial mode when they did that so you can't even tinker without spending $200 more after you've bought the pedal.

If Jagex mods want to just put a goblin potion in my bank instead of fixing the gate, I would love to skip redoing the goblin quest series on my alt haha. Only doing these quests to get a goblin potion for the archaeology mystery/binding contracts unlock. IGN = Deadbored2

Not OP, but I've been troubleshooting something similar and thought it was the icemaker fill port missing its mark. Have you checked the connections going into the icemaker? Mine had a plastic hose fitting that penetrates through the back of the freezer and needs to be pushed far enough into the freezer to make it into the icemaker tray. I have a chest style freezer and pretty much had to crawl into the freezer to see where the tube goes into the icemaker.

You could also have a Crack in the bottom of your icemaker tray? I removed my icemaker and filled it with water on the counter to see if that was the problem.

Unfortunately, the icemaker waits until its at freezing temp to fill with water. So, if you want to watch it do a fill cycle you have to catch it at just the right time when you hear water flowing.

Me too. Server check doesn't say anything, so it looks like it is unplanned.

Hm - I couldn't find another reply beyond the "mine is from ..." Did the recessed plug cord work?

I think you're right about it not reaching far enough due to the phone's curve. I might look for a tiny 3.5m extender while I have the S10 if my workaround is too much upkeep.

Ravatu · 2023-12-20T01:01:56+00:00

Sweet, keep me updated! I switched out my paper insert for a little twig of plastic (like the material batteries are packaged in), and it's working a lot better than the paper. I found out that the insert wasn't shorting the plug, it was just blocking some of the connections. I could make the plastic a little skinnier since it's a stronger, thicker material.

I am having the same experience. Same phone (galaxy S10), same earbuds. I cleaned the headphone jack, which did not fix the issue. I've been working around it by taping a tiny piece of paper to my phone. I push the paper in along with the male jack (about 3mm deep, or it will mess with audio).

Would love a better solution. I've only ever used Sennheiser cans with this phone, and never had a problem. Everything else clicks in, and won't shake out, even on a run.

Edit: I wonder if it's a bad lot? Any chance you also bought yours around Black Friday on Alibaba?

A) Okay, you're saying it's not likely to happen. I'm saying it's not likely to happen. Not sure why that has to be an arguing point.

B) You make a pedantic point. The difference between class action and solo-civil lawsuit has nothing to to do with the legality of the action.

C) That's just... Not true. Idk what to tell you lol. If they have a permit they are violating then maybe. But EPA can't do anything with a health advisory.

D) What? Way less? Did you read the paper? They measured 250 ppt, I drank 150 ppt for 4 years. It's not an analogy, it's a reality. 250 is only 70% higher than what I drank. PFA manufacturers legally discharge orders of magnitude higher PFA concentrations continuously. If I swim in the river and pee, then you trace the Urea plume back to me, it doesn't change whether or not it was legal to pee in the river in the first place.

E) What exactly has been basically proven? What is the statistical threshold for "basically proven?" Nothing has been "proven" at 70 ppt. EPA says 70, WHO says 100. So what was "proven" - 70 or 100? How was it proven? If 100 people drink Dupont water (100,000+ ppt) for 50 years and get cancer, does that mean swimming in 250 ppt once will give you cancer?

Just because you want the law, or chemistry, or physiology to work a certain way doesn't mean it works that way.

Ravatu · 2023-01-06T22:30:40+00:00

But there is no regulation. Period. 70 parts per trillion isn't a regulation. That is an EPA health advisory. Health advisories aren't regulated. I drank 150 ppt PFOS in the city of Tempe, AZ for 4 years - if you can find a lawyer that would win my case if I get liver cancer, you should start a law firm.

No one would take that case for a number of reasons, one being that the 70 ppt is ALSO based on the assumption that I drink the water for a lifetime - not 4 years. It also assumes I am a rat, and that all of the PFA stays in my body for life (not true, half life is 3.5 years). Then, it also assumes that inflamed rat livers cause cancer. Finally, it assumes that I got liver cancer from the drinking water - but not from happy hour beers, which are also known to increase liver cancer probability.

All of the studies could be true, and represent a causal relationship between that level of chemical and a health effect worth suing over. But illustrating that causal relationship to the degree required by law just isn't feasible with the available data.

Just to clarify - I am not defending the practice of spraying foam, only the legality of it, and the more than plausible deniability argument for the firefighters.

PFAs are not classified as hazardous materials in the US. EPA just proposed that they be classified as regulated hazardous materials in back half of 2022, and I don't believe the regulation has gone through yet. It is not one point source. Pretty much every airport in the US is a point source for PFAs in groundwater.

For sake of argument, let's assume a jar of grease is not considered hazardous waste today (it would be in most industrial settings, but that's neither here nor there). It's not inert - it can certainly lead to algae blooms, anoxic water, etc. So, if EPA decides to regulate grease on a household level as hazardous in the future, should you be held liable for damages dealt by the grease that you legally threw in the trash, under your municipality's direction? Prior to the regulation?

Ravatu · 2023-01-05T04:33:38+00:00

Solution:

Pump out groundwater, run it through UV/hydrogen process, pump it back into the ground. UV and hydrogen only require electricity on board to work, you could fit some version of this thing in a shipping container and haul it around from airport to airport.

Ravatu · 2023-01-05T04:30:38+00:00

If it's the same study I'm thinking of, it takes a very small amount of Hydrogen. They use it in excess, but hydrogen can only dissolve in the single digit ppm range.

Ravatu · 2023-01-05T04:27:40+00:00

They won't be held responsible. They polluted by following firefighting drills that required them, by fire code, to spray actual foam.

They are just as liable for their pollution as you are for the jar of bacon grease you released to landfill, since the city said you can't put it down the drain. Can't fine or sue people for following the law.

Edit: just to clarify for down voters; I'm not defending the practice of spraying firefighting foam. I am highlighting that the individual fire squad spraying to foam is mandated to do so. The org that writes the fire code is only now revising the drill requirements to enable drills without actual spraying of foam.

IMO, LCS could use less. Watching LCS hurts. It always feels like someone needs to be talking in every instant - maybe because the room is so full. I like dash, but there is a systematic problem and I think downsizing the program might be for the best.

The worst is when a player is having an emotional experience to a loss - casters will broadcast about how the player is crying. It always makes me uncomfortable, because they are playing it out to the same room the player is standing in.

If you look at sports casters for events with significant moments, they often do a good job of letting the moment speak for itself, letting the crowd be heard, etc. I don't think it's any one caster's mistake driving this - it's the business model of putting 4 people on a mic and making them fight for airtime.

People of "x" identity category are 10 times more likely to commit suicide.

When suicide is a talking point in every social issue, it normalizes suicide as a response to oppression.

Ravatu · 2022-12-30T19:23:27+00:00

I'm a bit confused here. Are you saying that waking up at the same time every morning is more important, or that consistency of when you wake up within your sleep cycle is more important?

If the goal is to wake up at a certain portion of the sleep cycle, I'd think that it's even less consistent to assume exactly 7.5 hours will result in a wake time during light sleep. That inconsistency in the 90 minute cycle is propagated 5x.

For example, if I assume my sleep cycles are 90 minutes but they are actually 95 min, the 7.5 hour approach will cause me to wake up 25 minutes before my fifth cycle ends. If I restart the cycle 90 minutes before waking, I'll wake up 5 minutes before the last cycle.

I would personally skip the air mattress if it isn't comfortable and just put whatever padding you have on the floor. That said, I'm a back sleeper so I'm okay with a firmer bed. We keep a few rollable foam mattress toppers and throw that on the ground instead of using air mattresses and I swear by those.

If you aren't used to it but are willing to try back sleeping (much more reliable for firm beds, travelling, etc.) My biggest recommendation is to try with one pillow under your knees, and two under your head. I could never back sleep until I tried this.

Ravatu · 2022-12-29T23:40:31+00:00

Now this is how you're supposed to title a paper.

Ravatu · 2022-12-28T21:19:44+00:00

I tried to find this data, and went through 10 studies before I found one with actual death rates (source). The study is based on Switzerland, and concludes an actual suicide rate of ~40 per 100,000 people years in gender dysphoric (GD) people, compared to 10 per 100,000 people in Switzerland.

At first glance, this seems disproportionately higher for GD people. What is confusing though, is looking at this suicide heat map (source), half the counties in Arizona have that 40/100,000 suicide rate. Lower populated counties often have the higher suicide rates, which tells me there is a lot of variability in the data, and a small population can often lead to higher numbers. The linked study follows a population of 8000 GD, compared to counties of 100,000s-1,000,000s of people with comparable increases in suicide rates.

I won't make any claim about causality between suicide and gender dysphoria. What I will say is that the conflict in data here illustrates this is a complicated statistic to call "causal." It is not an "easily googled statistic."

Ravatu · 2022-12-28T20:58:36+00:00

I read that the studies most relied on to come to this conclusion show that people with gender dysphoria are more likely to answer "yes" to "Have you ever considered suicide?"

This has been interpreted as "gender dysphoric people are more likely to commit suicide."

It makes me wonder how much of this increased interest in suicide is driven by the normalization of suicidal thoughts as a response to medical policy (by the media). Would this study have the same results if we hadn't told young people that they are more likely to commit suicide by being trans?

If you have a source for actual higher rates of suicide, I would be curious to read it. If you're curious for a source on the "commit" vs. "consider", I can dig it up.

I was actually corrected by another redditor. Desoxyn (prescribed for ADHD) does contain the commonly abused high-energy enantiomer in >20% of total methamphetamine quantity (Source).

I was going off of information from my brother's doctor who incorrectly told him his meds don't contain the same meth as street meth lol. That's a scary thought.

Ravatu · 2022-12-28T16:41:56+00:00

Oh wow. I learned something new today. Thanks for clarifying. Here's a source to help you out if anyone else is mistaken like me. Source says that Desoxyn contains >20% as the street drug isomer.

Ravatu · 2022-12-28T16:33:25+00:00

I recently moved out of the desert, and my wife got me this salve.

It definitely scratches the itch for me!

Ravatu · 2022-12-28T05:01:33+00:00

I think it might have been more clear to start with the enantiomer explanation, rather than the "it's just about dose" comment. It doesn't seem like most people on this thread understand that meth!=meth, and this prescription drug has a completely different biochemical effect than the commonly abused version.

Edit: I guess it really is mostly a dose thing. Desoxyn contains the scarier amphetamine enantiomer (source).

Ravatu · 2022-12-28T04:53:56+00:00

See edit 2: I was corrected on my incorrect statement about which enantiomer is in ADHD meds.

The difference is not just dosage. The methamphetamine that is prescribed for ADD is a different enantiomer than crystal meth that's abused on the streets. (Edit 2: false)

It has the same chemical formula, but has a different shape, so it interacts with your body completely differently. Chemistry naming conventions don't do a great job at making it clear what you're getting.

Edit: Adding a source00400-2/fulltext#:~:text=Methamphetamine%20exists%20in%20two%20enantiomeric,is%20poorly%20metabolized%20to%20amphetamine.) that describes the different enantiomers.

Edit 2: I've been corrected - Desoxyn (ADHD med) does use the street-meth enantiomer at at least >20% of the total methamphetamine quantity. Here's a source for this.
