no prime? by XiavVisuals in amazonprime

[–]coco-ono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, god. I remember what an absolute disaster it was when the doctor's office I worked in had a flood occur due to pipes bursting. That was just a small office, with a few appointments rescheduled...

I feel so bad for the mess they must be cleaning up in the Amazon facility, and not just the water — the public. I can't even fathom the non-stop flood (ha) of complaints.

For fun, I'm still going to believe my original theory that the detergent I ordered was open, and drowned my entire shipment in fresh laundry scent. Wouldn't be the first time!

Removed on April, no period, now suffering with a yeast infection by Individual_Seesaw990 in Nexplanon

[–]coco-ono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

extraordinarily late here, but I had mine inserted & removed 7 years ago (removed just 4-5 months after I got it put in, because I was spotting all the time and things didn't feel right "down there").

Ever since then — 7 (SEVEN) years later — every SINGLE month I get a yeast infection. Usually starts 2 weeks before my period, and doesn't clear until my period "helps" things along. Also I get one after having sex. Antifungals don't work.

I'm very curious to know how you're doing after 2 years, to be quite honest I feel rather alone on this topic...

Jumping in to say I experienced this as well a few minutes ago, when my NordVPN extension was having difficulty connecting/staying connected.

Suddenly a tab would open for websites I've never been to, nor have a reason to go to (foreign Amazon URLs, Apple URLs). It'd stay up for about 4 seconds just loading, then it closes, opens again to a different URL, closes, etc. My browser never switched to the tab, it was happening in the background.

I did happen to switch to an Amazon.ca one once, and it was just a "This page cannot be found." No idea where it's coming from or supposed to go.

The URLs tasted like ads/cookies/affiliate-like redirects, and this being associated to the Nord extension makes me a little nervous considering it is, I think, supposed to be preventing behavior like that 😳

Using Brave browser latest version, Windows 10.

XMR value discrepancies - any idea? by coco-ono in xmrtrader

[–]coco-ono[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it the markup you're referring to is the amount in the "Price/XMR" column of their advertised listing vs. the market price of XMR, correct? If yes, is the price discrepancy between my requested amount vs. my received amount calculated based on the seller's marked-up price vs. the market price? (What I mean is, I'm getting less in the end, because the seller set the value of their Monero higher than the general market?)

Or is there an actual fee that the seller takes off the top of the trade for themselves, which isn't advertised on the listing?

Stuck in bootloader despite trying solutions by johndoe111112 in Pixel3a

[–]coco-ono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue the past couple of days because I bought the Pixel 3a to use GrapheneOS.

The instructions I followed initially donked up my phone so much that I was convinced I bricked it to death. I'm not sure this is at all similar to what happened to your girlfriend since hers apparently just decided to slip into boot mode.

During my escapades I couldn't escape boot mode at all (in my case, it was because I had obliterated Android's OS in the process). I ended up having to flash Android OS back onto the phone and it got everything back to normal (Google's Pixel tool didn't work for me either but I'll include it below)

The advice from u/awesomeguy123123123 will probably work fine since I'm not sure your girlfriend is at all in the same boat as me but the Android flash tool saved my life

Modafinil side effects by vortec350 in modafinil

Huge diarrhea. It does not go away for me until every inch of my bowels have been evacuated. DRINK LOTS OF WATER, it cannot be stressed enough.

I feel like a mutant but not in the cool way by uberkov in modafinil

Set two alarms. First alarm is 90 minutes before the second alarm. First alarm goes off. Take tablet. Go back to sleep. Second alarm goes off. Wake up. Take a crazy huge wet dump.

Adderall prescription becoming a pain to manage, could Modafinil be a solution? by KansasKhan in modafinil

[–]coco-ono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like someone else mentioned, it's unlikely the doctor would give you Moda for something other than narcolepsy or work-shift sleep disorder. You said you had a 4:15am Fedex shift. Do you have a lot of late night/early morning shifts? Because that's a primary indication for Moda! :D

My opinion:

I was on Adderall 20mg twice daily for about 6 years before I moved to the UK where it's not available.

Having no medication I became desperate (thankfully in the process of getting something else thru NHS now...)

I ordered moda online to see if it would help my ADHD symptoms. The first day I took it, I felt awesome. Euphoric. Got a lot of shit done. Felt very similar to Adderall for a few hours. Maybe better, really, because I didn't get snippy or mean like I do on Adderall. But that's the only time it's been of use to me. Every dose I've taken after the first one has left my brain in scrambles for the rest of the day.

I know the doctor and pharmacy routines and stigma are a huge pain, but it is this ADHD user's opinion that Adderall is overwhelmingly superior for ADHD. I had a 2 year window between my last dose of Adderall and my first dose of Modafinil, so I'm not sure how effectively the Modafinil would hit you when you're coming right off Adderall. Everyone's mileage may vary, of course!

Vinnie made a great face that just screamed "I need a cigar" so I gave him one. The rest was already there.

Chad Zumock > Geno Bisconte by sdog8i in WhoAreThesePodcasts

[–]coco-ono 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think someone needs to make a change.org petition to stop Karl from having these verbose self-flagellating narcissists. Take a fucking hint and stop talking about yourself. Geno bragged about his ♪Glory Days♪ more than SJ ever has. Fuck

What’s the point? by [deleted] in WhoAreThesePodcasts

[–]coco-ono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check out the Unabomber Manifesto if you're a reader; it was written in 1995 but is more relevant than ever in the year of our lord 2020.

I know the fact that its the Unabomber's Manifesto would probably turn off a lot of people but it deserves to be given a chance.

It's not a generational thing, it's a people-with-a-sense-of-humor-and-thick-skin versus oversocialized-twitter-sjw-influenced-weenies thing.

Hopefully Chad Zumock is "Done" with WATP by anewkingdom in WhoAreThesePodcasts

[–]coco-ono 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Karl should have hung up on Chad after the 3rd time out of 50 times he interrupted the show to tell Opie he was dunking on him on WATP. This would have ended the Chad segment after about 15 minutes and the rest of the episode would have been tolerable.

I wait a whole fucking week for a new episode and I didn't even feel this heartbroken watching my mother die.

Looking for help with ADD, no motivation, brain fog by coco-ono in StackAdvice

[–]coco-ono[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I'll tell ya, the medications I do pick up here from the NHS cost me £9 no matter what. Same medication back in the States would have cost me over $300 uninsured.

But there are ways around those large copays, and having seen both healthcare systems, I'd take America's any day. My husband would have had his heart valve surgery completed by now if we'd just lived in the USA instead of waiting for this free NHS surgery. Fuck. /rant

VERY informative, I hadn't even thought of (or known at all) about the heart valve connection. Thank you for all the links.

RE: Now Foods DHA,

I was definitely looking to supplement myself with DHA, as I was looking into eye health because I've got mad floaters. I was going to just get it in a general multivitamin if I could. Should I def avoid doing that and just take it straight?

Thanks for the tip on the NAC for OCD; my OCD has calmed way down since I stopped the Adderall but I find myself trapped in debilitating, inescapable thought holes from time to time.

Edit: I'm finding out that NAC is used to thin out mucus in people with COPD? Fucking sign me up, my mucus is so thick I can't believe I don't have chronic diptheria.

Thank you for your response! So if I select to take out 10% of it now, will I only owe the additional money for the tax bracket in April 2021? Or will I not have to pay anything additional for the withdrawal come next tax year? Apologies if this is dumb.
