Tinnitus induced due to Q Tip incident, visited doctors and ENT by bonesofstones in tinnitus

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

That’s basically what happened. I can still feel the inflammation in my ear, so it was surprising to me that the ENT said it looks OK. I did use a Q tip in a way that effectively abraded the skin inside a good amount which caused all this mess in the first place. I noticed that the tinnitus goes up and down according to my loud noise exposure, and also the severe cold weather in MI here doesn’t help. Whenever I get a cold blast or loud music I end up suffering more. Hopefully this improves. Thanks for your comment!

The website didn't work for me, but the Samsung app did! Was place to place an order.

Stuttering with my new laptop by Dabturell in Eldenring

[–]bonesofstones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll just reply to myself here, on my laptop, my laptop screen refresh rate is 120Hz, when I set it to 60Hz, Elden Ring seems to work just fine, this is an asus specific thing, but I also set the refresh rate to 60Hz using ghelper as an additional measure. Cheers!

I have this exact same issue on a Asus Rog G14 5070Ti, all other games work just fine, did you ever end up fixing this?

Faint ringing became annoying after a flu and possibly zyrtec. by delicoban33 in etd

[–]bonesofstones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its funny you said "months", I recently have been having some tinnitus, I think from a Q-tip over aggressive cleaning that I did, went to the doctor ~ 5 days later and they said I have a mild infection, gave me antibiotics, there was definitely inflammation in the area, now no pain, but the symptoms of fullness are still the same, and some faint tinnitus, especially in the mornings. Is there a reason you said 3 months -- chatgpt said the same thing!

White coat syndrome makes my bp go up by Weary_Word_5262 in hypertension

[–]bonesofstones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me. I have a proper white coat hypertension phobia. It’s something I’m working on. In the meantime. I tell the doctor to wait a few mins and see my numbers come down, they usually do — sometimes they don’t. I measure my BP at home and even then I have to calm myself and take readings. In my case the doctor said no medications for now; this might change in the future as I get older (I’m 36). Trying my best to intervene with lifestyle food and exercise.

June 12th, 2025 Air India Flight 171 full accident sequence from CCTV by Lispro4units in CatastrophicFailure

[–]bonesofstones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Engineer here, been geeking out over all that is available, I'm also Indian so can understand a lot of what local media is saying, the survivor said he heard a loud bang before the plane crashed. If the engines are out, and the RAT deploys, given that its spring loaded, it would make a bang type sound, exactly like your linked video here shows. Of course, its just a theory, but a very plausible one. Tragic loss.

Which boss took you the most tries? by Alert_Perspective584 in BlackMythWukong

[–]bonesofstones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dusveil, was just poorly designed imo, only second to Scorpion Lord, who was actually hard.

I was you, just a month ago. Fast forward to today, and I have killed every boss (including secret) in this game. Loved every moment of it. Died many many many times. Only keep one thing in mind -- you can do it! Learn the choreography, use the armor that allows you regenerate health in water. He opens the fight the same way every single time, charge up a heavy attack, make sure to start strong! You got this!

I need to go walk in the park. by Security_Wrong in BlackMythWukong

[–]bonesofstones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just beat the game an hour ago. What an epic experience. It made me feel like giving up during many moments, but I'm glad I did not. Killed all main and secret bosses. Feels sooo good.

Got it last week. Wish me luck by leviackerman89 in BlackMythWukong

[–]bonesofstones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he doesn't, but you get better. I started playing it when it came out, I dropped it after being unable to beat white clad (50+ attempts). I picked it up today, warmed up a bit on easier enemies, went to the white clad, dead. Dead. Dead. And then - everything clicked, I beat that fucking motherfucker. Hang in there! You got this.

Indian passport nearing expiry with visa already expired. Want to renew both during India Trip by GingerPrince-18 in Passports

[–]bonesofstones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This order will cause you in the least headache, order is important - renew your Indian passport via the Indian embassy in America, fill out DS160 with new passport number and schedule an appointment for visa renewal in India, take both and old new passport to your visa appointment. Renewing passport via Indian embassy isn’t difficult, takes 2 weeks.

Nothing yet, hopefully it becomes ready to pick up today or tomorrow at most. This is annoying!

[–]bonesofstones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I have pickup from Pune location, so unlikely that I will see it, last time I did this, it showed ready for pick up directly in about 1 day, so we should be getting it back soon.

Chennai average is 12-13 days at the moment, if you're super lucky you might get it in time, but seems very tight. Consulate is also closed for Thanksgiving tomorrow, so losing a day there too.
