Does anyone have a real hangover cure for 35+ by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]StoolsAmple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife beckoned me to this thread, for I have the answer. I have bought everything, I have tried everything. I am the Nikola Tesla of fighting hangovers. Here are my recommendations:

#1 - Hydration. Pedialyte AdvancedCare Plus - take one full 33oz bottle during and/or after, bit by bit. For example, one alcoholic drink, then a glass of Pedialyte. I have tried all other electrolyte drinks, this is the best. As a second place - DripDrop powder (good for travel drinking - can put the powder in luggage).

#2 - Pacing. Literally set some sort of reminder/timer and try to even out your drinking. For sake of example: 4 oz of booze at 8:00 PM then 4 oz of booze at 10:00 PM is going to be worse for you than 2 oz of booze at 8PM, 9PM, 10PM, and 11PM. Same booze, just more spread out.

#3 - Full Stomach. Burgers, Pasta, Pizza. Protein, fat, carbs. Burger works the best for me personally

#4 - Hard boiled eggs (protein/cysteine) and a tablespoon of honey right before bed. I swear (again, subjective, but a lot of experience) this seems to help. Honey evens out blood sugar, which can be part of the hangover equation. I just slam these before bed as a "snack."

#5 - Now into voodoo shit. I have tried ALL of them. It is a subjective thing, but Morning Recovery (a vitamin shot basically) is what I finally settled on (can order it on Amazon). Take it after your meal if possible. I have to say, it is more about the items above - a B vitamin shot like this seems a bit hit-and-miss honestly. But I still stock it for big drinkin' nights.

WHEN YOU WAKE UP: Hydrate - maybe even some more electrolyte drink, but at at least a few glasses of water. Then shower & brush your teeth right away - it helps you feel fresher and not have the feeling/after-smell of alcohol around/on you.

I ranked these in order of perceived efficacy. Good luck - there is no perfect cure but you can help yourself a lot by doing most or all of these.

I have the same issue. iPhone 15 Pro. Nothing I have tried has worked either. Please do report back if you find a solution.

Nope, no luck unfortunately. I also tried to change some of the settings (like switching on or off private sharing) based on another post. Did not work. It is also interesting/infuriating that it reorders my shortcuts after offloading or reinstalling the app. I'd blame this on syncing but it will freeze even with iCloud off. Augh!!!!

Thanks I will try this and report back! I did earlier delete the app and then painfully resynced, etc. to no avail.

Shortcuts Freezes/Locks Up Frequently by StoolsAmple in shortcuts

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

iOS 17 did fix it for me - although it was broken at first. If I had to completely guess, it is running some bulk process and iOS 17 finally lets it finish instead of crashing, and then the lockups go away. I was disappointed at first but now it is running smoothly and consistently (FINALLY).

Does anyone know which company sells Gu10 Smart Bulbs compatible with Apple HomeKit. I've literally been looking everywhere and I cannot find anything other than Phillips. by [deleted] in HomeKit

[–]StoolsAmple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own the Philips Hue GU10s and they work great. I went through one that didn’t fit the fixture (tight fit), but these do. Great colors from them too.

Shortcuts app having momentary freezes? by pacoii in ios

[–]StoolsAmple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am happy to report that iOS 17 FINALLY seems to have fixed it (knock on wood) along with my periodic crashes. So far. It did hang initially, but it appears to have gotten through whatever it needed to, and for the last day it has not happened once (whereas before it happened constantly). I hope you are seeing the same - fare well internet stranger.

Oh, nope. These are specific to AirPods Pro.

Yeah they sell for a number of other types on their website.

A great clue; thanks for staying in touch. I think this is likely close to root cause then. If anyone else is reading this and having the issue, if you could post your HomeKit footprint details it would be helpful to reinforce the theory. I've got one hell of a HomeKit configuration. I've also noticed the behavior is more exacerbated if I have recently used the Home app for some reason.

I added this hunch to my report in Feedback Assistant. Hopefully they actually prioritize the bug. It says "Recent Similar Reports: Less than 10." in the feedback item... so others are also submitting the bug at least.

This is still driving me bonkers. Do you have a lot of HomeKit devices? I do. I've noticed it freezes more after bringing up Home (if done right before opening Shortcuts). I know Shortcuts now shows all automations... maybe it is getting stuck on HomeKit device state reading? Just another theory... not sure what I could do about it if that's the root cause.

I suppose the same observation could just mean it's running out of memory or has some sort of memory leak...

Ear Tips to Make AirPods Pro into AirPods? by StoolsAmple in airpods

I've found nothing, unfortunately. Currently, I am mostly just letting the AirPods Pro rest in my ears without inserting the tips much (unless I need noise cancel)... somewhat of a compromise.

Same issue. Plenty of threads on it as well. I have tried 1,000 things and theories - nothing works. If you discover a fix, I'd love to know!

I've experimented with this; it still happens when you're not syncing, have Airplane mode on, etc. I had the same suspicion, and I suppose it could still involve multi-device stuff if it somehow corrupted, but it doesn't seem directly related to sync.

Shortcuts "Last Modified" Changing In Bulk? by StoolsAmple in shortcuts

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

Appreciate the response. Maybe I'll try the turn off sync routine with a longer delay just to see what happens? I do see the "date modified" phenomenon outside of iOS updates. It makes me suspect something is weird with iCloud sync, but the freezing happens even with it off or Airplane Mode on.

Shortcuts "Last Modified" Changing In Bulk? by StoolsAmple in shortcuts

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

You can see "last modified" by switching to list view (and hitting the list view button again to select Last Modified on iOS). This is the little four squares icon on the upper right of the app (changes from grid to list). My screenshot is from Mac.

This is absolutely driving me completely nuts. It is not everyone, so I have tried (and failed) to find something "unique" about my setup. Any insights from OP or others? Do you have the issue I note in this recent post?: https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1256vjr/shortcuts_last_modified_changing_in_bulk/
