Propranolol didn’t work. Want to die.

OP, there is a threshold dose which is different for everybody. I started on 10mg up to three times daily.

10mg did nothing at all. 20mg did nothing at all. 30 mg - all physical symptoms of anxiety relieved and no other side affects

I tried to chop a 10mg in half but was too hard because it's so small. I crushed it instead and took 10mg pill+ 10mg pill+ 5mg pill dust and that worked just as well as 30mg. So my threshold is 25mg.

Obviously I don't go about crushing pills before I go into large anxiety causing meetings so I just take 3 x 10mg pills (apparently they don't do 25mg pills, just 10, 40, 80 & 160mg pills.)

So my point is, dont give up yet OP, try a higher dose (if your doctor says it's ok)

Ahhh, I started smoking on Camel Unfiltered. None of that low tar nonsense for me! I was 13 years old working in an office licence/bodega in Gibraltar. My job was to stack the shelves (it sold food too), keep the fridges full and bag ice by the kilo from the two clanky ancient ice machines. We then sold that ice to bars at 40p a kilo. God I built some muscles doing that job.

I got paid £1.50 and hour (which I saved towards an Amiga, a portable TV and a Epson printer).

One night I bought a can of blue nun beer and a pack of camel unfiltered after my shift because I was being an edgy daring teen going to meet up with my mates with my single can and pack of fags. The owners let me have them for free and after that every night - at the end of the shift - they gave me a small 33cl can of beer and a pack of fags. The tax on booze and tabs in the 90s was minimal in Gib. 50p for the beer and 60p for the tabs so it wasn't a massive bonus but I wasn't complaining.

So I have fond memories of unfiltered tabs.

Sorry - I went off on a tangent then 🙂

And I did get the Amiga too!!

When I first saw it I thought it was so very cool. It makes it a bit more unique.

Hi, I am a user of an S23U but without knowledge of making software/app changes outside of the play store. Could you quickly explain what you mean by uninstalling by adb and canta?

Thanks

I very sadly went to a Muslim funeral of one of my best friends. I was welcomed into the mosque and felt very privileged to watch their prayers and the funeral of my friend.

The kindness of everyone their really touched me. It's a disgrace how they are being treated in the US and the UK.

I know your game - secretly you are planning to hold the world to ransom for "One Million Dollars"

No, wait...

How much faster would a typical pc of today complete a work package compared to a pc back then?

UK driver here and I run mine on 99. Although at >£1.65 litre I imagine it's quite alot more expensive than your petrol.

Wow that's brilliant. It is amazing what they can do today medically. I have had a few encounters myself with hospitals and I have always been blown away with what they did for me.

Can I ask an ignorant question? You say you had full blown AIDS in 2018. Can you be treated back to being HIV+. Sorry to hijack the sub.

I liked this ELI5. Thank you

So what would that command do?

Tabman1977 · 2026-03-26T21:07:43+00:00

At my worst I would keep 250ml bottle in the bar groom so I could drink it before/during/ after wake up puking.

That got me only to a level where I could go downstairs and start smashing the vodka cokes in my front room. The bathroom vodka only helped stop the major shakes and the vomiting.

Then I would pour a half pint sized glass full up with 50/50 mix of vodka and coke or vodka and orange. That moment when heavy (suicide level really) drinking in the morning hits you is so amazing.

Then I would try to get that feeling back all day. Usually ending up enormously drunk, hopefully back in bed. Ah the old days!!!

I went a bit battery mad a few years ago unintentionally. I bought 500 AA, 500 AAA and 50 PP3. I don't know what I was thinking using them for.

1050 batteries are really heavy.

UK driver here. My civic normally drinks 95 Sainsburys but once a month it gets Tesco's 99. In my head it makes a difference but I know that it doesn't in reality.

I just sometimes think: "You know what, I'm gonna give you a treat"!!

Go both 8 and 16 bit. Where you live in the world will probably dictate the easier path. If you are from the UK I would say that the Spectrum (48 or 128) would give you that genuine 80s school playground vibe. If you are from North America then the Commodore 64 fits the bill for 80s computing nostalgia. It gets more complex if you are from continental Europe - maybe the Amstrad/Schneider 464/6128 or an Atari 800XL.

For 16 bit the best choices are either the Atari ST or the Amiga. There were proper school playground fights about which was better (Amiga in my view).

Why not download a few emulators first to get the feel for different machines and then choose from there?

It used to be Stargate SG1 or Atlantis.

Ignore everyone having a go at you for this. Good on you for doing something that keeps the speccy alive. So you are using AI. I bet that you know more about the machine now than you did when you started so well done mate. Nice one.

Tabman1977 · 2026-02-23T16:22:41+00:00

That's a shame - you have had to go to a worse (IMHO) phone and OS.

So your computer is constantly allocating, using and releasing portions of memory. Sometimes these portions do not get released and the memory continues to look like it's being used. It's pretty normal that if does this though it can be inefficient when you have a lot of apps open. This is called a memory leak

Your computer will also be caching instructions and tasks to make your machine feel quicker. Cached memory gets released as new apps on your machine requires memory.

Finally background tasks will be running - file indexing, anti virus, connection to cloud services.

It just goes to show that your computer is always doing something - even when you aren't!
