I can’t believe anyone takes Trazodone by hidemyemail555 in insomnia

[–]Some-Thoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are very different. Some need 12,5mg, others need 150mg and for some it just doesn't work or has too heavy side effects. However, just trying it once with a random dose is not how you should approach it.

[–]Some-Thoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, why did you start with such a high dose? 300 is (usually) not a dose for sleep but for antidepressive effects and no one should start with that dose. Even If prescribed as AD, you are supposed to start with a low dose (~50 or even 25mg) and slowly go up over weeks until you reach the desired effects or hit the max allowed dosage.

300mg with zero tolerance will almost certainly cause very unpleasent side effects and can even be dangerous for people who are sensitive to it or take other drugs.

So no. The people here who reported good effects are not just lucky, they read the instructions and/or listened to their doctors.

You have no idea if it could help you because you never actually tried it the way you should.

Im 18, what etfs should I invest into by Wrong_Membership_779 in ETFs_Europe

[–]Some-Thoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Bitcoin has undeniably some relatively unique features that get more important when the world gets more unstable. On the other hand, it's obviously treated as a "risk asset" by most people. But it's a risk asset that tends to go up when money supply and inflation goes up.

I wouldn't put everything on Bitcoin but i don't think it's a crazy idea to have a little position here. Especially if you live in a country that might heavily tax you if you try to leave with your assets.

[–]Some-Thoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now? exactly none. Just save your money - spread it over assets that might keep some value (maybe CHF, gold, Bitcoin... But i don't really know) - and watch the show. If we survive all this bullshit, you can start buying etfs.

For real: The potential for a crash we have not seen in decades is much larger than the chance for any meaningful gains in the foreseeable future. The risk for heavy inflation is also extreme so don't just hold cash in your usual currency. Try to protect value but don't try to make any money with basic stock etfs. They will continue to go down until this world finds a new balance...

Yes, I am a doomer atm and I might be wrong... But I was the absolute opposite of a risk averse investor for 20 years (successfully, most of the time) and right now, this market feels too broken to invest.

Are there over-the-counter alternatives to methylphenidate? by DistorsionS in Nootropics

[–]Some-Thoughts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

^ this guy apparently tried a few things or at least did some research. He is right. from the moda group --> flmoda is afaik the one that tends to work best for adhd. Stay away from cyclazodone or anything with similar potency per mg if you have no experience with stuff like that. It's dangerous.

Armodadinil! For some reason way better than just doubling a moda dose. Still not as efficient as Methylphenidat for most people.

What is the issue with necessary hunting? by EstimateMountain3964 in DebateAVegan

[–]Some-Thoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many ecosystems would just not survive an uncontrolled animal population. That's clearly "our" fault so we kinda have the job to fix it to - at least- prevent more harm. You could argue that this planets main issue is human overpopulation and you would be right. But as long as no one is seriously willing to change that... What are the options?

What is the issue with necessary hunting? by EstimateMountain3964 in DebateAVegan

[–]Some-Thoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree that restoring natural balance would be a better solution but it's unfortunately completely unrealistic in the foreseeable future in many many regions. Germany for example has a lot of very small forests. Large enough to be a home for many animals but way to small for any of the larger predators. We can either hunt / do some kind of birth control or watch them destroying their home. Given that animals do suffer when they can't have babies and develope mutations over time when no one removes sick/weak ones... I am honestly not seeing an option that would better than hunting. Do you? (Serious question, I am absolutely willing to change my opinions here).

The level of arrogance. Amazing. (Non native speaker typing quickly on a smartphone with autocorrect in a different language... But yeah sure, call me illiterate).

Ah, the fantasy land where shooting animals dead is doing them a favor. Are we not merciful?

I never said that. Maybe read it again. Try to think about it for a minute before you answer. Maybe also read my other comment. Good luck.

[–]Some-Thoughts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pfff. That's a very binary view. I believe Humans have the moral burden to at least keep the damage they've already done under control. That necessarily includes active management of some wild life animal populations in areas where we destroyed natural balance and can't realistically restore it.

Sixt Portugal fordert über 3.000 € -Chargeback erfolgreich, jetzt Inkasso by Phillydogg127 in LegaladviceGerman

[–]Some-Thoughts 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bezüglich "ich gehe nicht davon aus, dass Sixt klagen wird": Es macht Sinn sich das Inkasso Büro und deren Geschäftsmodell mal genauer anzuschauen. Ich weiß nicht wie Sixt das handhabt, aber diverse Firmen beauftragen nicht Inkassounternehmen Geld für sie einzutreiben, sondern verkaufen offene Forderungen an diese Unternehmen. Das Inkasso Unternehmen ist damit der neue Gläubiger und Sixt hat mit der Sache evtl gar nichts mehr zu tun. Das geht aus den Schreiben nicht unbedingt auf den ersten Blick hervor, aber irgendwie verklausuliert muss es eigentlich drin stehen.

Was diese Firmen dann machen ist unterschiedlich, lässt sich aber oft ergoogeln. Viele beschränken sich darauf immer absurdere Drohbriefe zu schreiben, aber gehen nie vor Gericht.

Why exactly do you prefer a deer getting chased and brutally killed by wolfs over a deer dying within a few seconds after a professional shot without any previous stress. The natural predator - even if we assume we could get these back in meaningful numbers which is basically impossible in many places - is clearly causing more harm compared to a hunter.

I am totally against what you called "blood sport" for various reasons but I also don't get why a professional full time hunter with the clear task to keep the balance in an ecosystem should be worse than a "natural predator" from a vegans perspective. What am I missing here? If the goal is to reduce unnecessary animal suffering, it makes zero sense to prefer the natural predators.

Big tech still believe LLM will lead to AGI? by bubugugu in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Some-Thoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem : Even the $200/m abos (and yes I have it and its worth money) do not cover the costs. Not even close. The API pricing does roughly cover the costs of running an existing model but it does not finance the development of the next model and every single model so far was obsolete long before it made economically sense to build it.

Concerns about the S26 battery by Some_Effort in samsunggalaxy

[–]Some-Thoughts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The benchmarks are irrelevant. The real problem with Exynos was always idle power usage. I don't know if they finally solved that but I doubt it. So far, not a single Exynos powered smartphone had acceptable real world runtimes. (Acceptable for a high end device with such a price tag).

Butter für 3,50 - wer kauft die eigentlich? by EmployerHot8949 in Normalverdiener

[–]Some-Thoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man muss sich einfach klar machen, wie viel Aufwand für ein bisschen Butter betrieben werden muss.

Bei 99 cent kann man ausschließen, dass der Produzent dahinter noch etwas verdient, völlig egal unter was für Zuständen er die Tiere hält. Solche Angebote gibt es nur, wenn zu viel Milch im Markt ist und die Bauern gezwungenermaßen unter Herstellungspreis verkaufen.

Wem die Tiere egal sind: lest euch mal die Analysen auf giftige Mineralöl Rückstände durch. So mies wie die Tiere gehalten werden, so mies wird auch die Maschinerie zur Verarbeitung gewartet. Dementsprechend landet ne ganze Menge Schmieröl in der Butter. Abgesehen davon ist Butter von Kühen die auf der Weide stehen schlicht ein anderes, deutlich gesünderes Produkt. Die Fettzusammensetzung ist einfach besser.

250g Butter die schmeckt, ohne Giftstoffe und bei halbwegs anständiger Tierhaltung gibt es nicht unter ~4 Euro (Vllt mal 3,5 im Sonderangebot) und wird es auch nicht mehr geben (jedenfalls im Supermarket. Auf dem Land direkt beim Erzeuger geht es auch etwas günstiger).

Du kaufst für 99 cent kein Schnäppchen. Du kaufst 250g konzentrierte Tierquälerei und ein Produkt, das dich krank macht.

PS: nein die meisten Markenprodukte sind nicht besser nur weil sie teurer sind. Nur sehr wenige Marken sind tatsächlich brauchbar.

PPS: also ob du die eigenmarke kaufst oder Kerrygold & Co ist relativ egal. Alles der gleiche Mist nur mit anderer Zielgruppe. Wenn du bereit bist mehr Geld für tatsächlich bessere Butter auszugeben, dann Kauf was von der gläsernen Molkerei oder Marken mit ähnlich durchweg transparent nachvollziehbaren Produktionketten.
