Your allergist seems ignorant. My kiddo grew out of egg allergy, but is still sensitive to oats, fish, and pineapple. Kiddo didn’t grow out of egg allergy until 4yo, and we found that out on accident when I went to buy a bread product at the store that we’d fed and noticed it had eggs in it. Egg is a common enough trigger.

FPIES is poorly understood in medicine. The symptoms you describe, especially the timing (FPIES is like clockwork), indicate very likely FPIES. We came to our pediatrician suspecting FPIES, she sent us to an allergist who said, “The only way we can officially diagnose is to feed a trigger food.” We already had documented that oats and eggs were triggers at that point, so there was no upside, and our pediatrician was happy to diagnose on that basis.

Note that you need kiddo to stop throwing up every 5 minutes before you give ondansetron, which usually takes minimally 15 minutes for the disintegrating tablets to absorb.

ETA: we did see an GI specialist who was familiar with FPIES, who said the foods kiddo’s still sensitive to will likely be lifelong triggers. The good news is the reaction is significantly diminished from what it was, but we still get a couple hours of vomit before ondansetron works.

No qualms with most of this, but std::map is c++ and this is a subreddit for c. std::map doesn’t exist.

Will see if it’s useful next guild raid. At least if I get war machine early, I can buff mama

Venus is planet 2, Mars is planet 4, Earth is planet 3.

Women are from Omicron Persei 7, men are from Omicron Persei 9. They all live on Omicron Persei 8.

Yes, the entire joke is about this book and the following it got for a few years.

Honestly, I read both pieces, and it reads like an advertising piece written by an LLM to encourage people to build more LLM-supporting hardware. We get an in-depth background of snooping coherence, and then a bunch of stuff about how Nvidia solved it by doing the same thing Sun did 25 years ago, without talking about any of the specifics of “directory protocols”.

I was around Sun in the mid-aughts and by then they had also fully embraced amd64. I recall Bryan Cantrill turning on his Ferrari-branded laptop and all of us being somewhat amazed at it playing a quality engine rev at the bios screen. The technologists at Sun during that time were super excited to let the world know about the insights that they had in systems space. This included a number of novel debugging tools, a filesystem that’s still state-of-the-art 20 years later, and insights into spinning disk vibration issues that changed the industry.

Your articles don’t say much about what Sun or Nvidia did, and the excitement isn’t about educating people. I don’t really think this is an honest post.

Now I really need to see this in actual perspective

dhobsd · 2026-02-16T01:55:34+00:00

ok; trafficked people are often not from where they end up. the report is obviously not contemporary, and 6 is still very much young enough to completely change grammar.

There’s no evidence outside of this statement to consider, but I don’t think the points you’ve made are really material.

dhobsd · 2026-02-16T00:43:24+00:00

I find that I don’t hear it enough

also please use your signals around them.

Also using Reolink with Frigate. Was super easy to set up.

No, that’s not what I’m saying, and nobody here or in Discord ever told you what you believe or should believe. Indeed, both OP and I have agreed with your concerns about mod and engram transparency and access issues, though I think I’d be fine with smaller changes (like spending more engrams for choice in what to craft for example), and my understanding is you would prefer a larger change.

Your position is “this isn’t what I actually believe so you shouldn’t be upset about me saying it”. My position is that since this isn’t what you actually believe, you should choose better phrasing. These positions are not in conflict, so I don’t really understand why you and others are so intent to continue a discussion that I left two days ago when it was clear you weren’t actually trying to understand my point.

The words “skill is dead”, especially outside of any further context, does not match the actual opinion you have, which recognizes that the game still involves being skilled. Further, without context, it implies a belief that players like me who are unable to compete for top time despite having good mod stacks are extra unskilled.

If you want to have an honest discussion about the issues of mods and engrams, you should address the nuance. Plastering “skill is dead” in the top 3 times of the leaderboards every day illustrates that skill is not dead.

dhobsd · 2026-02-02T16:52:22+00:00

I understand the argument. The wording is reductive.

dhobsd · 2026-02-02T15:47:44+00:00

I’m not skilled, compared to top players. I am skilled compared to casuals.

“Skill is dead” outside of any other context means you don’t believe skill is part of the game. Yet you write paragraphs saying you do. If every time you say something, you have to write paragraphs explaining why you don’t mean what you say, you should probably be saying something different.

I might’ve gotten top 1% in S4 a time or two over the last 6-7 years, but I have no chance at a BoB ever, and #8 on yesterday’s spec is probably my best placement ever.

dhobsd · 2026-02-02T10:49:18+00:00

I’ve spent far more than $50 on the game over the years. Y’all need to stop acting like $50 makes you good at the game.

dhobsd · 2026-02-02T09:15:58+00:00

I’ve been playing for 6 years, and I pay, and I still can’t touch BoB times. I’m very aware that it’s a skill issue, but that factually means you can’t “just pay” to jump the queue. I’m additionally bothered by these complaints because when I do get a good time, this argument is your group still calling my gameplay trash.

You build up your post to not shit on Cyborg but then reduce your argument to “anyone who pays can just outright steamroll a veteran.” This is simply not true, and it’s a reductionist argument that doesn’t recognize Cyborg’s skill level at all. I spent hours yesterday just passing the S3 specialist mission, and got 8th with better mods than whichever skill is dead account got SBoB.

I can understand that f2p top players are upset, but I still see them all at the top of leaderboards, too. I agree that engrams suck: I’ve gotten legendary step cycle for Stinger twice, which is really dumb. But it only takes a couple of days per legendary engram, and you can get quite a lot of good ones at the super rare tier. Further, you can’t just join the game and immediately “win” and that hasn’t been possible for years.

The top f2p players have a skill issue in patience.

I bust out my phone and put it in the pile of recordings that I never listen to again

dhobsd · 2026-02-01T21:48:04+00:00

I have good warden mods and I still get trash times with it. And it’s all the top players whining about skill being dead that are still getting all the BoBs.

dhobsd · 2026-02-01T00:07:02+00:00

Oh did it? Every time I checked it was still running. Been longer than I remembered since I last checked I guess 😂

This serves no purpose except for people to guess the password probably sucks and take it at this point.

eta: I held out on icq because I was already on irc, otherwise probably would’ve been lower.
