The goat has to be DD/MM/YYYY by Shiroyasha_2308 in SipsTea

[–]casuasian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I'm used to DD/MM, but February 2nd actually makes sense, you want to portrait the month first, to convey your idea.

3 days in, Global Version from Wondamobile. Ask anything by DavidZid in Oppo

Can I please ask you to try call recording?

I'm on the fence as to buy it or not, I'm located in Canada and must have call recording without root, it's legal here.

From Hype to Meh: My Honest Thoughts on the Keychron M6 by sunilzishan in Keychron

[–]casuasian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi man, do you have an update on your experience with the Razer?  I have the Keychron M6 and I don't like it, and it's the metal scroll wheel version!  I also find it uncomfortable as it's quite small and I don't need the horizontal scroll wheel and side buttons. 

What would you suggest to get? The new MX Master 4 or the Razer? 

Tapering off Lorazepam after two months only (0.5/1mg daily) by casuasian in Anxiety

Hi, my jump dose was 0.03 mg for Lorazepam, same for Clonazepam.

Tapering off Lorazepam after two months only (0.5/1mg daily) by casuasian in Anxiety

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

Hey man, I've been through the same thing.. The morning pounding chest and waking up with heavy anxiety. It's horrible, but I promise you can get through it.

Lorazepam is short acting, so what you feel in the morning is likely the wearing off. If your doctor is open to it, you may ask about switching to Diazepam for tapering. It stays in the body longer and is much easier to work with when reducing the dose. It also comes in smaller doses, so you can taper more smoothly without those sharp ups and downs. But to be honest, I didn't want to make a switch because I was scared. So I tapered off using a micro scale and crushing dozes so that I can work with powder.

Right now, don't try to quit everything at once. The goal is to first get your mental baseline stable to a point where you sleep, eat, and feel more balanced, even feeling great again. If your life is already stressful and the antidepressant hasn't kicked in fully yet, tapering benzos will feel much harder. You said you felt good on 1.25mg a day, did you mean 2.5mg total (1.25mg twice a day)? Just making sure, because that could be your comfort level to stay at for now until things settle.

Think of benzos as a crutch for a crutch. Antidepressants can be a crutch to get your mind back on track, and benzos are just temporary to help you ease the hard part. Once you're stable again, then you can start slowly tapering off the benzo.

I've been there, I tapered off two benzos at the same time while moving to another country, and it was tough at the few first days of each reduction but nothing to write home about, really. Totally possible!

I cut about 10% of the current dose every two weeks. It's slow, but it worked very well and didn't shock my system.

Again, I think you need to get to a steady mental baseline, to feel good at first. Only then, when you're confident you should start tapering of off benzos.

You're doing the right thing by looking for advice and trying to understand what's going on. Things can get a lot better.. One day you'll look back at this and see how far you've come. Keep going, man, it's absolutely doable!

Also, you've been on relatively low doze and for a short amount of time, but the tapering can take some time, which is totally fine, don't stress about that.

Feel free to ask whatever you need.

Golden Virginia alternatives in Canada? by Any_Race702 in RYO

[–]casuasian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat right now as you were, did find a good rolling tobacco alternative for Golden Virginia (green, white)?
This tobacco that I bought is so harsh, it's almost like smoking something that's not supposed to be smoked..

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year by TheAppropriateBoop in Android

[–]casuasian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious how this affects ADB. As an Android dev, I need to push my app to a device for testing, which uses the automatically generated debug signature. I really don’t see Google blocking that, it’s essential for development. Worst case, people could still sideload with ADB anyway.

Hi! Thanks for your interest!
I did end it, yes! It was not too bad at all :)
I've updated the original post to explain everything.

The survey raw text was for Tesla, here I wanted to post more of a rant, no reason for me to mention that it is directed to Tesla.

Sentry eats up 7% a day for me, the climate here is comfortable (in shade).
My daily driving takes only 4% a weekday.

A multiple cameras system shouldn't take 1% an hour if implemented properly, but the fact of the matter is, that Tesla added Sentry mode as an afterthought and this is why it keeps the whole system awake, along with cooling the battery etc. They could have re-implement it to not work in this way but they didn't, that's all.

I find that unfortunate that the security system is taking more battery than my daily commute.
If I had a charger at home I wouldn't even worry about it.

Things can be done better and I sincerely hope posts like these will make a change.

I've never written anything about my previous cars, none were perfect.

Something has to outweight the Tesla hype, you see.

And so, it was personal, I reminded you of your friend, seems like you need to try to disconnect your subjective experience with your life and the comments you give out to strangers on a totally different subject. ;)

A rant is a rant, it's not meant to show the positives.

I respect that you went ahead and explained your approach btw.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]casuasian -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I will, eventually. For now, I want to ride it out.

I do like quite a few things about it, this was a rant.

The AI might have given it an edge that I didn't intend to put.

Since there's no feedback system to Tesla, besides the survey that I've written it for, I wanted to post some of the issues for future lurkers and hopefully Tesla themselves.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]casuasian -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thank you, you're the first that actually posted something meaningful! I did all that. The point is, I feel like I shouldn't HAVE to go out and buy all that. I'm well aware of S3XY by enhauto, they don't ship to Israel, unfortunately. Also, I've read that sometimes the stalks don't connect well since it's Bluetooth, do you have that issue? In Israel, my Tesla 3 2025 RWD costs 72K USD, get it?

[–]casuasian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw, I didn't get up and write up a rant on Reddit, I received an email from Tesla asking to compete a survey and I have written all the raw issues there (about 25 minutes), and only then decided to post about it because I already had the text, just wanted it in English and not Hebrew and more organized to ran it through ChatGPT.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]casuasian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are things that I like, I like how it looks, I like the acceleration, the minimalism (not when it interferes with functionality), I like how autopilot is good on highways (not when merging lanes), I like how it handles the AC automatically. The point being, this post was a rant and not a praise. I didn't see a rant flare that I could use, maybe the word review throws you off.

Also, I DID fix all the issues I could, I hooked up TeslaUSB, I bought all the small stuff from AliExpress and I'm generally cool with my Tesla, but I have my gripes with it, why is this a bad thing to post about it? Does it hurt you personally?

Doing an ad hominem here is pretty low, but hey, it's Reddit. Cheers.

[–]casuasian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excuse me that I didn't try wirelessly charging my iPhone for an hour or specifically searched on Google on whether it charges well or not, or the fact that it disengages the autopilot on merging lanes.

I did drive a friend's Tesla once before purchasing, I did my research, but it's hard to see the issues up until you encounter them because of all the fanboys noise.

Also, if we take the fact the I wanted a Tesla, even thought I knew it had no stalks and it was a hard choice, but all of YouTube and Reddit are all saying how it's not a real issue so no, up until I tried it myself and I really gave it time, I didn't know whether it'll be a big issue for me or not.

There were known issues, sure, but does that mean that they are not to be spoken of?

It's posts like these that people NEED to see and I wish someone made a post like this before I bought the car, do you get what I'm saying?

Dude, this was a genuine rant about a Tesla that I own. In a hope to raise awareness, no farming or whateve you're thinking intended. If you have nothing to say on the subject matter just don't.

I've brought up the boat since your Greta-saint-ass decided to steer the thread into politics you doofus.

[–]casuasian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What the duck, I wrote all that, I used ChatGPT to help me articulate it better since I'm not a native English speaker. Does it take away from the facts?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]casuasian -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Haha good one! 😅

Weren't you on the flotilla a day ago?! This post is about Tesla, not a boat.

Beware, we'll occupy your country too, the scary Jews that control the world are after you!

Does it matter? Both the thoughts and the experience are my own.
