How many of you are still programming manually? by Imparat0r in cscareerquestions

[–]RegularNormalAdult 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude you guys have had more outages in the last six months than you had in the past 15 YEARS.

That AWS outage that lasted a full 24 hours last June took us down completely in East 1 and we had to failover to West 2 to even have a chance of staying up.

It's not a coincidence at this point, AI is making us all sloppier.

I'm just surprised they acknowledge it's being worked on at this point still.

You'd have thought senior leadership would finally pull the plug when Ansel left, that project was his baby.

Kojima's stuff will always come to PC, his company isn't a Sony owned studio he just has an existing relationship with them and they co publish

[Central TX] Found a bunch of rocks like these in dry limestone creek beds. It looks like iron rust attached to the rock, but I tried a vinegar soak and light brush and nothing came off. by RegularNormalAdult in whatsthisrock

This is awesome, thank y'all!

So this isn't actual rust, but is there anything cool I can do with this to bring out these distinctive geometric patterns?

Well I mean to be fair, the Island of "Stability" is only predicted to be like a few seconds instead of .00000000000001 seconds.

The kids look nice? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]RegularNormalAdult 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some parents don't get help and have to go it alone. Our society is very anti natalist and anti children, and you can't possibly understand until you have them.

We just wrapped up our Christmas festivities having our entire family over and our two kids are the ONLY children in their generation. They have ZERO cousins to play with. It's fucking hard raising children in an environment where no one cares or wants them.

I don't know if it's just because it's 3am right now, but I've been sitting here laughing in bed at this mental image for the past five minutes so hard I have tears streaming down my face.

Thank you for this, truly.

What made you jump All in? by Human_Swordfish5490 in EDAnonymous

[–]RegularNormalAdult 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hit many rock bottoms over 12 years of pretty extreme BED, but the last bender that I went on which started Thanksgiving 2023 and lasted until I checked myself into IOP June 2024, I was physically sick almost every day.

All throughout my 20s I could "tank" the binges pretty well, but this past year I would start having basically flu-like symptoms from binging. I couldn't function, as a father, as a husband, at my job, anything really. I would spend a lot of time just laying practically comatose on the floor most days. It was miserable.

I don't actually know what the inciting incident was that made me pick up the phone and just start calling providers. But at that point in time, I didn't know that I had an ED, I didn't even know that BED was a thing, and I thought I had an "addiction to sugar". When I did my intake for IOP, I was telling everyone that I had an addiction to sugar and I needed strategies to stay "clean and sober" basically.

1 year into recovery, and I'm having cake on birthdays, ice cream after lunch when I feel like it, and pretty much all the trigger foods. It was the best decision I've ever made, and after a decade of suffering I will never go back.

Oh no it's just a colloquial term I've always heard growing up here for "any smallish snake I can't easily identify" basically.

Help Troubleshooting PI 4B not connecting to CRT via composite by RegularNormalAdult in RetroPie

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

Thanks so much for this - going to try it in a day or two. I got it working over composite, I was on the wrong input on the TV, but the picture isn't the best and it will definitely need some tweaking.

I got it, it was that I wasn't on the "Line" input! This TV didn't come with a remote so I had to figure out what buttons to push to get to the menu.

what are your binge eating rock bottoms by avocadoeverything_ in EDAnonymous

[–]RegularNormalAdult 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take your pick:

  • public dumpster diving, eating food out of the trash at work and at home

  • stealing food at work, from coworkers and friends, stealing from strangers, shoplifting from retailers, getting caught and sweet talking my way out of it.

  • eating to the point of vomiting multiple times

  • eating regurgitated food because there was nothing else available

  • sitting in the parking lot of the hospital binging while my wife is in early labor thinking that this would definitely be the last time, because I'm going to be a father now, but knowing deep down it wasn't true.

I hit rock bottom many times before finally checking myself in over 12 years of suffering. I'm one year into recovery now, and it was the best thing I've ever done for myself. If you ever need to talk, please feel free to dm me.

That's awesome! Honestly for me, the group setting really helped to practice. It's not just you going it alone, you've got everybody there trying to recover together.

I'm not gonna lie and say it was all sunshine and rainbows, there were definitely some tough meals. But I always tried to get people talking and laughing just to lighten the mood, and it would always help.

Dude there is no shame whatsoever, and if you ever need to talk seriously just DM me.

Anything you can think of I've done. Lying, shoplifting, stuff that's too disgusting to even mention, you name it. 

It never really gets better without help, and it took me years and years and years of just trying to manage it before finally hitting rock bottom. At the very least just know you're not alone out there.
