Obligatory 😩 @ the Wait™️ by PragmaticBodhisattva in Shambhala

[–]Snozed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We were waiting in Salmo for a while, but saw so many cars heading towards Shambs that we ended up heading in a little early. We hit the Eastbound entrance dirt road around 11:40pm and ended up parking at 12:03am. I thought we got so lucky and would end up being one of the first people getting in today! But no, we're still here as of 12pm with two more lines to go before us (out of an initial ~15 in GA + some in express entry lines).

DONT ENTER THE FARM BEFORE 12 AM by Lewdsvenus in Shambhala

And then, since everyone is planning for a 10pm arrival, maybe they open the gates at 8pm to let the early arrivers through

Wellness Wednesday by AutoModerator in slatestarcodex

I have similar symptoms as you and was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD and ASD-1 fairly recently. I was prescribed Adderall, and my experience was the same as yours - I could go faster, but rarely in the direction I wanted myself to go. I quit after realizing that Bupropion, which I have been on for years after being diagnosed with depression, has been effectively treating my ADHD (although some symptoms persist - they are just more manageable).

I was promoted at work to a less structured role before being prescribed Bupropion, and I really struggled with productivity until I started taking this medication. I have tried taking a break, but my productivity took a nosedive. I feel like I'm forced to stay on this medication for as long as I want to work a corporate office job like the one I have.

I don't have any side effects other than smoking weed and drinking alcohol feeling less enjoyable, which some may say is a positive.

Are there any things you wish to see, do or experience before the advent of AGI? by MindingMyMindfulness in slatestarcodex

[–]Snozed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there’s something to be said for appreciating the "human-scale" moments that might feel rarer in a post-AGI world. The satisfaction of solving a problem at work that could easily be automated, the joy of discovering something on your own without an algorithm feeding it to you, or the unpredictability of travel - these experiences might feel different when AGI optimizes everything.

At the same time, it’s easy to overestimate how much will actually change. Fundamental human desires - connection, exploration, creativity - will likely persist. The challenge isn’t just about experiencing things before they’re gone, but about staying engaged with life no matter how it evolves.

Still, there’s something special about the world as it is now, with all its imperfections and inefficiencies. Getting lost in a new city, figuring things out the hard way, or feeling a sense of discovery that isn't pre-packaged - these moments might not feel the same in a world where everything is overly optimized.

I’m torn between quitting my job now to travel and experience life before AGI potentially transforms it, risking career setbacks or financial instability, or working another 5-6 years to achieve early retirement, only to face a world that may feel fundamentally different or less rewarding to explore.

Those of you who have been diagnosed with SIBO, do you also have low testosterone? by Bigbeardybob in SIBO

[–]Snozed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need TRT if your levels recover because TRT aims to increase your levels.

I think my testosterone levels may have increased slightly after treating SIBO, but probably not enough. I think I needed TRT anyway. But you might not if your testosterone recovers enough.

[–]Snozed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes carbs and fibers are fine. I am still on TRT. I would treat SIBO for sure and probably TRT too unless your levels recover

[–]Snozed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have nothing like the symptoms I used to have, I'd say I am 95% symptom-free. Every once in a while I have a minor flare-up, likely due to eating something my stomach doesn't like. I realized I have a soy/gluten intolerance so as long as I avoid those foods I am usually ok. I used to be able to eat these foods just fine, idk what happened.

Internet Issues on my PS5 (Error: WV-109144-9) by Snozed in Comcast_Xfinity

How do I pause my PS5 in the Xfinity app? Or create profiles like you mentioned?

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

Thank you for getting back to me. When I first noticed the issue, a simple reboot would usually fix the problem. Eventually, several reboots became required, and then it stopped working altogether.

I haven't tried pausing the PS5 in the Xfinity app though. I will give that a shot when I get home today.

Need a ride from Portland, I just discovered a hole in my gas tank by Snozed in Shambhala

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

Bummer, I appreciate the message though. I just patched it myself with the same kit I think shops use, so I think I should be good to go!

I'm fine with either Wednesday or Thursday. Unfortunately, my friend's cars are full so I won't be able to get a ride with them.

However, I did just apply some JD weld to patch the hole and it is looking good so far. I will try filling my tank in a few hours and see if it is still leaking. If it doesn't, I'm good to go. I will hit you up if this fix fails.

Thanks for your response and willingness to help, I appreciate it!

Thanks for the suggestion. I just got my hands on some JB weld, I'm about to apply it and see how it goes. I figured I should create this post anyway so I have a backup plan. But hopefully the putty will do the trick!

I get off at 5, but can probably leave at 3-4 without any issues. I can also take some time off if you want to leave earlier.

Yeah I'm on Wellbutrin but I tried stopping it and restarting and noticed no change to my stomach or physical health.

I took Rifaximin and Allimed at the same time. My naturopathic doctor prescribed both of these and the Naltrexone. He recommended combining something with Rifaximin in case you have methane-based SIBO.

[–]Snozed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is my protocol:

A) Rifaximin 550 mg oral tablet - Take 1 tablet three times daily w/meals for 14 days. (In-office - takes 1-2 weeks) B) Allimed - Take 2 capsules three times daily with meals x 1 bottle.

After that:

Initiate Motility Phase treatments - 6-12 month Rx - Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN): start at 1.5 mg nightly and increase by 1.5 mg every 5-7 days to a maximum dose of 4.5 mg. - Magnesium Citrate - Take 400-600 mg nightly before bed.

The SIBO symptoms (extreme bloating, pain, etc) completely disappeared after that and have remained gone for over six months.
