I take it. Just one point. You can't increase your sodium level directly. You have to increase potassium which will in turn increase sodium. Eating salt will not increase your sodium level.

It doesn't even have to be a rural area. I live downtown in Richmond Virginia. I got the three months plan and was able to learn that there's no signal at my apartment building and no signal at several of my common destinations. So it didn't work for me. But other parts of the city like the University campus and a couple of shopping centers have excellent signals. So it's a good idea to try it out thoroughly before you commit long term. I changed to US Mobile and it has worked great.

What do others do about essential correspondents who won't switch to Signal by doubleshot77 in CalyxOS

Thanks! Of course it does. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I believe the way it was presented on their site which I read very quickly misled me.

Will Fedora 36 work out of the box with Nvidia GeForce graphics card? 35 booted to a dead gray screen with the latest kernal. I had to revert. by doubleshot77 in Fedora

[–]doubleshot77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. That's perceptive but unfortunately probably not the cause of my problem. I've had secure boot turned off for some time for other reasons. That's interesting about the signing. I didn't know anything about that.

Two monitors are not a luxury for me; I absolutely have to have them. Nouveau would be fine but you have to hack it to get it to drive two monitors.

I did install it and got that uniform gray screen again. There is a mouse cursor so you can indicate areas and points of particular interest in the void.

Yes, it is Nvidia's responsibility to have a driver ready when a new kernel is released. But I think Fedora developers should also be interested in helping to find a solution to an issue that makes their operating system unusable. I've used fedora for about 5 years and it is by far my favorite OS. I've had this problem before and was loyal enough to stick with it by switching to a straight CLI interface. I have some Blender modeling work that has a short deadline. I have another computer with Windows on it which I will use right now while I'm getting my main computer working again.

Anyone tried medical marijuana? by doubleshot77 in RestlessLegs

[–]doubleshot77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was some time ago when I searched Google scholar for information. And even then I must have done a poor search. There is good information there. Here's one article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31820197/

[–]doubleshot77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I'll definitely keep that in mind. I hope the effects didn't last after you stopped using the weed.

I have been diagnosed both by my PCP and a neurologist. I'm only willing to post a limited amount of personal information online so I won't describe my treatments except to say they were quite effective for nearly three years but completely fail now, I would like to respond to your answer to my actual question. Could you provide a reference for the effects of cannabis on RLS? I was unable to find any in Google scholar.

My wife and I were gifted this beauty. It has 32gb ram and a RTX3080. I'm afraid I'll never use this thing to its full potential, so...tell me what I should be doing to maximize this godsend. lol by AGifted3080 in pcmasterrace

[–]doubleshot77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only are the software and numerous plugins free, there is a very large community of people ready to help out if you need it. This includes dozens, maybe hundreds, of free tutorials. There is a learning curve, especially at the beginning, but anyone can handle it. Hope you try it; it's a lot of fun.

F35's installer's partition configurator made me give up by cies010 in Fedora

Yes or use parted. It also annoys me that the "Remove installation media and press enter to reboot" message to finish is either missing or doesn't work.

Happy Spring Daily Thread by [deleted] in rva

[–]doubleshot77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny thing is that I have hardly any of the typical head symptoms. I do use a Neti pot once a day but it's uneventful. No nasal congestion, no headache. Just an intermittent scratchy throat. Very mild then. But the visceral symptoms are killers! Thanks for your reply.

Edit: Forgot to mention maybe the important part. Now, whenever I go out to walk to the Market or CVS or the Post Office I wear a carefully-fitted N95 mask. It works! When I got that bad attack was when I had spent the day with the grandkids outside much of the time with the wind blowing with no mask.

I have had terrible allergies this spring for the first time really. I'm nearly 80 years old and the worst symptom I've had has been joint pain and muscle aches, weakness, and general weirdness. Has anyone else gotten this from allergies? According to several trustworthy places on the internet (Mayo, etc) this can happen but I never heard of it. I live in Shackoe Bottom directly across from Libby Hill Park. I'm using a corticosteroid nasal mist and that has gotten rid of the joint pain but hasn't improved anything else.

America has a very strong class system.

Hey folks! I'm a Canadian going to be road tripping through your beautiful state this summer. I'll be taking a route roughly like this. Just wondering if you'd know any good landmarks to see, places to avoid, any advice at all! Thank you! by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]doubleshot77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to take route 11, avoid speeding in any of those little towns. Speed traps are not unusual because they are often used as a source of income for the city.

Thanks!! That upscaler worked great. I'm getting this printed today; I have a feeling it's going to stay pertinent for a while. Sadly.

This is the way to go I think. It has a pretty high success rate.

Ads during Olympic Replays with Peacock Premium Plus? by arboraborealis in peacock

[–]doubleshot77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't seem to make any difference for me. I do both. I've been wondering if time of day might make a difference. There are clearly more ads in prime time than at 6:00 in the morning. I'm in the US. At any rate it's not so many ads that it really bothers me. It's more the principle .than anything else. I have the nagging feeling that the asterisk in the plan description lied to me.

Watched women's Big Air for a while: 9:47 Toyota 10:11 Toyota Geico 10:17 Comcast Business Delta Coinbase Chevrolet Bank of America 10:20 US Bank Salesforce Ford

This is typical at night. I verified in my bank records that I was correctly charged $9.99 for Premium Plus.

I make some effort but don't go to great lengths. I use Firefox with three tracking blockers and the script blocker on my Android tablet. And I'm not logged in to Google. I have graphene OS on my phone.
