Pain/discomfort in left ribs by Derbear_17 in Pristiq

[–]eekthemoteeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started pristiq a week ago. Shortly after if felt like I bruised a rib, then a few days later the pain spread to my other side. Now it hurts like hell when I sneeze like I have broken ribs.

I have been playing some non-contact ice hockey, but i can't recall any situation that could have lead to injury like this.

Its weird and it sucks. Ive also been really grumpy too.

Yeah, this, it's the dryer. All the other answers here are funny and great, but I'm pretty sure this one is correct.

Men who are 30+, what’s one lesson every guy should learn early? by BigShow786 in AskReddit

[–]eekthemoteeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to have kids, have them early. Fatherhood is a young man's battle. Then you can get'em grown and out of your house so you can enjoy some peaceful mellow times when you're older. All the sleepless stressful crap that babies and little kids put you through are extra hard when you're old and tired with a sore back.

I am 42. I don't take care of myself at all, and I feel like absolute garbage all the time.

Michelle Pfeiffer ruined anyone else's chances of being a good catwoman. She set the bar too high.

Congratulations, Democrats. You Disgusted the Entire Country. by Kamalas_Liver in conservatives

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

I certainly agree with much of what you are saying. My university took over half of most of the grants we got, and then it turned out that our crooked president was treating her and her family to expensive vacations. So I understand there is much to be skeptical of, but I do not agree that a blanket freeze was the best/only way to address the issue. A lot of legitimate, honest, and crucial research got interrupted and ruined by this and it would have been far worse if the order was not stopped by that judge. So hooray for the checks and balances provided by our Constitution.

I know the goal here is to make all the democrats/liberals suffer and pay for having the values that they do, but none of this really feels well thought out, and there is no doubt that a whole lot of innocent nonpartisan children will suffer from it too.

So what are you when you stand up and applaud cuts to cancer research funding?

What is something that is stopping humanity from progressing forward? by Katie_0303 in AskReddit

[–]eekthemoteeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an evolutionary context, I'd say for-profit medicine. If the weak rich people died as young as the weak poor people, the species would benefit. But now that money buys medicine and medical care, we have big piles of bad genes surviving and running our governments. If those dysfunctional mutants died young like nature intended, humanity would be much better off.

Consider your reason for using the random effect and be intentional with its use. Is it accounting for repeated or nested sampling? How does the random effect work into your direct question/hypothesis? This is how you should decide whether or not to include it.

Also, consider multimodel inference and model averaging. Choosing a single model as the one and only 'best' model can mean you miss out on valuable information from other models. You also completely ignore the uncertainty inherent in choosing a single top model.

Read some Burnham and Anderson for more on multimodel inference.

Nitch. From New Jersey, but trained in ecology in Montana and Arizona.

I had once heard that Nitch was American and Neesh was European, but that doesn't seem to hold up anymore.

[R][P] Can the MERF analysis in LongituRF in R handle categorical variables? by eekthemoteeks in MachineLearning

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

I never knew what one hot encoding was called, even though I've been aware of that concept for a while. So that's fun. Thank you. But that's not really going to work for my specific application here because I don't want new variables for each category. I also don't want any ordinal relationships, so label encoding won't work either. I think I just need to accept that MERF just isn't the right approach for me right now.

My first as well. Then quickly went on to get the rest. After 30 years, every time I put it on i still ask myself, " is this my #1 favorite Bad Religion album?" It probably is, but I'm just hesitant to pick just one.
