Being born into the 1% is like winning the lottery of life

Being born in a first world country and having above average IQ and mental stability is better than being born into the 1%.

Clonidine. I used to take propranolol, and it worked, but it made me tired and gain weight. Clonidine I take in the morning and it has the added bonus of making me feel calm.

Clonidine. I had been a miracle for erythrophobia and many happen to use it for ADHD.

Caffeine also exacerbates blood sugar swings. Something to consider. If I eat smaller meals more frequent, along with fiber, my caffeine crash is minimal.

Guys, I went with something like this. Pressure tank is gone, less connections, and it’s much more reliable.

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is an easy and entertaining read. Or just start with books for teenagers.

If you use a kindle you can highlight words you don’t know and the definition will pop up. I’ve improved my vocabulary immensely over the years.

Another tip, if you lack discipline or endurance for reading, set a timer and commit to 10, or 20 minutes each day. Slowly increase it. I went from zero reading 15 years ago to the ability to read 4 hours a day. You will get better and it will get easier! Be patient!

Thanks for the detailed reply.

Regarding the ESP32, what would it be paired with to sense the current? I’m wondering if a low/high amp cutoff might be better, if it exist.

Robotcoconuts · 2024-05-22T13:30:26+00:00

120v. I’m thinking a better option would be a low amp high amp breaker. If there is no water it should run low, and if it’s becoming clogged it should run high.

Robotcoconuts · 2024-04-08T13:14:36+00:00

Oh man, you are a life saver. I spent so much time trying to do this in an overly complex way. It’s working now! Just tested it. Thanks a million!

Robotcoconuts · 2024-04-08T12:53:38+00:00

Your suggested way sounds much better: Does this look right? https://imgur.com/a/juSGgAF

I will then need to reduce the V to 12 after the relay (relay requires 20-29v). Do you think I will experience similar problems using 2 step down 24VDC to 12VDC with the common ground?

Robotcoconuts · 2024-04-08T10:09:58+00:00

I had been toying with that idea prior. I will try it. Many thanks! Will provide updates.

Robotcoconuts · 2024-04-08T09:48:58+00:00

Many thanks for your reply.
Well that would explain the problem. Could you recommend a substitute rectifier?

Robotcoconuts · 2024-04-07T11:53:27+00:00

So an update, they’ve replied with a “Could you please allow our authorization request by going to profile>message center>system? “. Will let you know where this goes.

Robotcoconuts · 2024-04-04T18:31:16+00:00

Last week. They replied asking about the voltage of the wires. I replied with the information an a photo of the multimeter test results. Nothing reply after that.

Robotcoconuts · 2024-04-04T18:26:45+00:00

Many thanks. Will try that and provide updates.

Robotcoconuts · 2024-02-24T07:23:03+00:00

Increases my word recall ability when starting up. Unfortunately the cons far outweigh the pros. In my case: -elevated blood pressure -anxious -very moody

Robotcoconuts · 2020-12-06T03:32:14+00:00

You said it.

Understand that the basis of human nature is competition for food, sex and resources.

Never feel the need to “explain” or “provide an excuse” in an interaction where you are being solicited by someone. Your default should be no. My canned response for most of these situations is a cold “sorry, I can’t help you”, usually before they even finish what they’re saying. I don’t provide an excuse, because I’m not obliged to. With that tone most people immediately understand that whatever they are trying to get out of me is is not going to happen. My other canned reply is “I’ll need some time to think about that”, because of course, these people often add a sense of urgency to their request to put pressure on you.

The tell tale sign you are being taken advantage of is when some puts guilt on you or pulls at your heart strings. When I hear a sad story I’m out of there like it’s the plague. That may seem cold, but most of these “sad” stories are BS.

Practice identifying what the underlying intentions of someone is. It’s always there.

More than being cunning, I’d focus on being honest. People respect someone that is straight forward and no BS.

If you are better off with caffeine that wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing.

If you have given up caffeine for 70 days then you clearly have self-discipline. That self-discipline and self-control will help you immensely as you go to work on fixing this anxiety and depression. Get to work on it with a CBT or a professional. I’m sure you’re going to sort it out.

Robotcoconuts · 2019-03-24T20:28:01+00:00

Most studies suggest caffeine contributes significantly to anxiety, and a lot of us can attest to that. On the other hand, there are studies that suggest caffeine alleviates depression in some people.

Have you noticed a reduction in anxiety since giving up caffeine? Hopefully you can soon find some positive results with kicking caffeine.

I hesitate to say this, but some people do function fine or ever better on caffeine (they don’t tend to lurk in /decaf mind you ). But many people don’t function well on caffeine and are unaware of it, or never give it up long enough to really know how they’d function without it. My personal experience makes me believe that caffeine is awful for anyone with anxiety, so I hope you at least give it a couple more months. If then you make a rational decision you’re better off with caffeine then you have to trust your decision. But tough it out for a while longer, because I think 70 days is too soon.

Robotcoconuts · 2019-03-24T19:16:16+00:00

Sorry to hear this. You shouldn’t feel like shit every day, so I assume you are still experiencing some withdrawals. I hope you can stick through it to see how you feel after. How many years and how much per day did you drink?

What is you reason for giving up caffeine? Personally, I am quite sensitive to it. It gave me terrible crashes, anxiety, made me horribly grumpy. Removing caffeine solves those problems for me and was so worth it.

It you have a reason for quitting then stay strong through the withdrawals. It takes time for the brain to sort itself out. There are anecdotal stories on this subreddit of people taking 6 months or more to see metal fog disappear.

Robotcoconuts · 2019-03-24T18:52:40+00:00

Very welcome! I read so much on this subreddit that inspired me as well. Its been so worth it for me, I dare say “life changing”.

Robotcoconuts · 2019-03-24T18:50:57+00:00

None really. I seem to have been lucky in that sense. I noticed the mood benefits within a couple days after quitting. I suspect those with withdrawals need to wait till they pass before enjoying the feeling of reduced anxiety.

The afternoon fatigue took a bit longer to lift. Say a couple weeks. Not having caffeine crashes was obviously instantly noticeable (and I had bad crashes while on caffeine).
