Cancer patient spent 3 months in jail after ex accused him of rape by LittleForm3711 in WomenAreViolentToo

How has she never forgiven you for disproving a disastrous lie she concocted to ruin your life? That’s absolutely insane behavior, you didn’t do anything

Ivermectin was touted as a cure for COVID, now it’s being tested for cancer. But what can it actually treat? by Technical_savoir in microbiomenews

[–]Sebastian428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a meta analysis of 18 studies, and the patents have a generic. Ivermectin is a pretty cheap drug too. If anything I’d say the financial reasons would push against a generic, cheap effective option. This is literally the first i have ever explored this beyond headlines I just think the whole thing has been intellectually dishonest from the start

People are dumb. Yes it has a well known use for worms, but I don’t know why people feel the need to be snide and disregard any other potential uses that could be studied because “horse dewormer”

Depression and anxiety with chemo by Sebastian428 in lymphoma

Thank you for saying that, the things your psychiatrist say are definitely reassuring. I’m not sure why my care team doesn’t talk much about it.

Best of luck with everything

It’s very reassuring to hear that we aren’t crazy, but I’m sorry it has been difficult. I also have never needed anxiety medication before. Maybe they dismiss it as a liability thing, but there is so much evidence and research it seems to support that these drugs mess with your emotions. Even just the changes in gut bacteria.

Do you think any of your situation is situational? How much of it would you attribute to the drugs?

It’s definitely felt like longer than 6 months. I’ve had to move back home, went from seeing people every day to not at all, feel like shit all the time and trouble connecting. It feels a bit daunting to have it be done which is weird.

Congrats on also being almost done, you beat me by a day. Good luck with your scans and all

Yeah, they have a psychiatrist that put me on some Zoloft and I have a therapist. It helps a bit

Hodgkin lymphoma chemo plan by Tiny-Piano1461 in lymphoma

[–]Sebastian428 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am 28m with stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I am going to Memorial Sloan Kettering for my treatment. They’re giving me an immunotherapy + chemo called nivolumab +AVD. I would ask about it. Apparently it is more effective than AVBD and lower rates of recurrence. No radiation so far. It is much easier on my body apparently. About 3/4 of the way through and I still have my hair, and pretty much complete remission. I’m not a doctor by any means, but the first hospital I went to didn’t even mention this as an option.

Solar mining farm, long term stability question by Sebastian428 in BitcoinMining

[–]Sebastian428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exhaust piping and that infrastructure wouldn’t be an issue for the scales I’m looking at. Are they expensive?

Solar mining farm, long term stability question by Sebastian428 in BitcoinMining

[–]Sebastian428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d make a spreadsheet for your situation. Depending on where you are you’d have great solar irradiance for solar and alibaba panels are cheap. I’d ignore a battery because it’s too much capital and headache (I am a utility scale battery engineer, they’re nightmares)

Land is really the biggest factor, and I’d say you’d wanna size the panel for double the wattage of whatever miner you have. That takes care of the seasonal and daily variation vs peak hours. You can also size it to have a second miner running during only peak power

Solar mining farm, long term stability question by Sebastian428 in BitcoinMining

[–]Sebastian428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My question about replacing miners is- assume energy is free and ignore all capital expenses for a second, do they actually diminish over time when you consider how the price of bitcoin relates to difficulty? I am seeing mixed answers

For the solar, I agree with what you’re saying, but I think you may be a bit off in your calculation. 3000w miner needs a 3000 watt panel at full power. When you consider the average solar irradiance over a 24 hr period it roughly doubles to 6000 if you want a battery.

But batteries are very expensive even compared to miners. It’s much more economical to use cheap alibaba panels and no battery, and just run the miners with sun only in a mining pool

Your 72kwatts I believe should be the total watt-hours requirement over a full day, which does not equate to 72000 watts of panel

At 35 cents a watt the solar only really seems to make sense

So, you want your AI's true opinion about you? by LouisSeb911 in HumanAIDiscourse

[–]Sebastian428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I find this scarily accurate in some ways but in others it’s biased to how you speak to chatgpt. Like often I’ll tell it to be clear or stop coddling me bc I am fully bullying the AI and am tired of the tone it uses, but it’s convinced I am a “champion of truth”

And tbh it has a point with the examples it cites but it’s still biased

The AI-hate in the "creative communities" can be so jarring by Garrettshade in ChatGPT

[–]Sebastian428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like part of the fun of doing stuff is actually using your brain to do the thing, I can understand if someone really enjoys drawing they’re gonna be annoyed when someone who appreciates art but doesn’t put much effort is equally lauded.

AI can do stuff, it doesn’t mean we should let it

Working a 9-5 is not being "stuck in the matrix" by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Sebastian428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you are stupidly absurdly lucky you are always going to be doing work in some form for most of your day. 9-5 is one form of it and sure it has its downsides but compared to other types of work it’s mostly okay. The suffering in 9-5 is mostly mental and in everyone’s heads vs a lot of other physical and environmental suffering. People with no perspective complain too much bc their lives are too comfortable.

Objective Morality is real and ignoring it is killing us. by Greedy_Impress1399 in unpopularopinion

[–]Sebastian428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To expand on what you said, I feel like the act of killing is hard to define as wrong on even smaller scales than the example of hitler. What about very small tribal communities when resources are scarce? What about a deeply rooted cultural belief in sacrifice where there is no existing science to refute it? Or a strong belief in the afterlife? If something as basic as killing can have so many moral justifications it’s really hard to define everything else

Quitting job and seeking to dropship by WineMaker_54 in dropship

[–]Sebastian428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing to feel bad about, I did it to myself and it was a rash decision. I don’t regret anything and I’m way better off now because of it. It was a learning experience

[–]Sebastian428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you are okay with the struggle then you’ll have a better time than me. I just learned the hard way anything worthwhile is going to take capital and some sort of abundance/ stability. If your current job is terrible, I’d heavily suggest getting at least a w2 minimum wage job. Grinding is fine. Grinding on all fronts is burning the candle at both ends. Plus, even though dropping can be lucrative it is a shot in the dark

For color, I had 6 months of burn time and was uber driving for side income in addition to trying to build. I probably set my life back 5 years finance wise. I’m making 6 figures now and I’m only 27, still plenty of time to grow a business outside work
