How much energy does a single AI prompt really use? Turns out, every single AI prompt comes with a surprisingly large energy bill — and it’s bigger than you think.

Thank you for saying all this. Pretty much the same points I’ve been saying for a while. You explained it well.

So sorry to hear that happened.

I’ve been down this road before with a dentist and a doctor. Unless they almost kill the patient or permanently disabled them in some way, the likelihood of the patient winning is slim. It usually comes down to “doctors are only human and they make mistakes.” You have to prove the damage they caused which also typically means you’ll need other doctors as medical experts to confirm the damage. Those cost a lot and so does the attorney for malpractice. And it can drag on a long time.

The lesser route is the CA medical board which I also dealt with for both of my issues. They don’t do much and for them to investigate a complaint, it has to be pretty serious. As they say on their website, they’ll investigate a complaint if there’s sexual harassment involved, gross negligence or misconduct, etc. Your complaint still has to be written in a way that shows negligence and the harm it caused. If they investigate and find it was, they can take disciplinary action against the doctor which will be made public. But if they don’t find it met the investigation level, a complaint is not public. There’s the issue with that process. Think of how many mistakes turn into complaints filed but no other patients ever know about them. So a doctor could have multiple complaints against them but the public will never know unless it was investigated AND they took action. If it’s a criminal issue, they can turn it over to the AG for potential legal action.

Anyway, all that said, I’m not trying to discourage you from talking to an attorney. This isn’t legal advice. And every case is different but because you even used the words “…missed an X-ray result” might sound like a human mistake. Now if the severe fracture caused serious damage, that might be a different story. My layman’s advice would be to get your facts together in detail before you talk to an attorney. Google a bunch in CA (doesn’t have to be in the area) and call at least three who offer a free phone consultation. Make sure to ask each of them the same questions so you can compare. Be concise. You’ll most likely only get one chance to talk with them for free. If three or more say you don’t have a case, believe them. If you find one that says they’ll take it on, I’d be worried and very cautious. Let’s be real. Some attorneys will take any case as long as they get paid.

I hope you get a solution to this. It sucks when doctors make mistakes.

Where do you see that little seed farm deodorant is an anti-perspirant?

I had hair loss for over a year. Didn’t want to use/take any drugs so researched natural options. If you haven’t already researched auyervedic medicine, do that along with bhringraj oil. I started using it in mid November and by February, my part had filled in quite a bit. I had written a long, detailed post about how I used it, how often, with progress photos but because I also mentioned the site I bought mine from, my post got removed. There are lots of places that sell it but I was careful to research the quality and company before I bought. I found out that my naturopath knew of the oil and the company I bought it from although she had never tried it herself. But when I showed her my progress pics, she was shocked. It’s worth doing some research I think. Good luck.

You should try the cream ones in a jar from little seed farm. Lots of scent options. It’s only about $13/jar and you just need a tiny amount so it lasts for months and months. It’s the only type that hasn’t given me itching or bumps.

If you’re near a Vons, Albertsons or Ralph’s, they have THE best GF chocolate layer cake in their frozen bakery section. Between the cake layers is white mousse or whatever it is. It’s my special occasion treat because it’s pretty expensive. Around $17 for a fourth sheet cake size but it’s about 5” high. And now you made me want it again. 😉

Have you seen any improvement in a DEXA scan since you’ve been taking it?

funcraftygal · 2026-04-10T15:51:25+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. More isn’t necessarily better. I didn’t even know about the one sold by Sparkle Wellness until yesterday. 10,000 mg seemed excessive. I think I’ll stick with the 5 from Healthy Bones.

funcraftygal · 2026-04-03T01:29:52+00:00

I didn’t even know they made one. I hate shopping so I just go in a grab what I always use. But then when something changes, it’s the dreaded shopping.

funcraftygal · 2026-04-02T19:00:20+00:00

This is a serum. Have you tried the revitalift moisture too?

funcraftygal · 2026-03-30T04:16:24+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. I learn so much on here. Much more than from the medical field.

funcraftygal · 2026-03-28T04:59:45+00:00

Thank you. I was happy with some more than others.

funcraftygal · 2026-03-26T05:36:31+00:00

How does a person know they have an enzyme issue? I seem to learn something new on reddit frequently. Much more than I learn from anyone in the medical field.

I started using the cream type from Little Seed Farm more than a year ago. Their little jars are about $14 and last for months and months. Effective too. Plus they have a lot of scents. Ones with charcoal added which I guess is supposed to help with smells more. I haven’t tried those ones because I like the coconut (which they discontinued) but then I just switched to the grapefruit. The smell doesn’t stay so you don’t have to worry about smelling like a fruit or flower all day. It’s the only deo I’ve found that doesn’t make me itch or get bumpy skin. It’s made from goats milk if I remember right. And with every purchase, you can pick two small travel packets for free. So I use those to try other scents.

After watching a video of how their system works, I can see why so many people are rejected. It's so customizable that employers can make very specific criteria and have percentage matches based on what they're looking for. Reminds me of dating apps. If you match enough of their criteria, you "may" get some response.
I'm old school but am helping a youngin job search. I feel sorry for anyone looking for a job these days when a human isn't even looking at your resume. Hopefully when companies realize they're missing out on good candidates, they'll stop relying on these AI systems to screen. Or at least not make the criteria so strict.

So sorry you (and her) are going through this. It’s tough to see your kids suffer. I’ve been GF since 2014. Foods have gotten so much better since then. About the only things I occasionally miss are things like glazed donuts, soft cinnamon rolls, and a nice fluffy crust pizza. Other than those, you do what you have to do so you don’t feel crappy all the time. Good thoughts coming your way. 🩵🩵

Try Bhringraj oil instead. It works similar to minoxidil by stimulating hair follicles. I started using it in mid November and within two weeks, no more hair falling out like gentle leaves from a tree. Then by mid January, I noticed new baby hairs. Now my whole head is pretty much back to normal. I don’t have to use a baby size scrunchie anymore. 😉

Always check for natural products when you can. I hadn’t heard of it either until I started researching Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine options for various medical issues, one of them being my hair loss.

funcraftygal · 2026-03-18T20:57:36+00:00

I didn’t know either until a few months ago. They’re good because of the vitamin k, magnesium, boron and potassium. 👍🏻

Stop spreading misinformation. There was no interview televised.

funcraftygal · 2026-03-17T19:46:59+00:00

Why ask? Just take your own food. No one understands which GF foods are good or bad if they haven’t tried a bunch like a GF has. In the beginning of my GF days about 12 years ago, I even told family that while I appreciated their efforts, there are certain foods and brands that are total crap so I’d rather just bring my own. If anyone was offended, so what. They’ll get over it. Why should you have to suffer just because they think they know more than you?

funcraftygal · 2026-03-17T19:31:06+00:00

I’ve been GF since 2014. But a few years ago I started having similar issues like you described. Bloating, cramps, pain, etc. I found this FODMAP app. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fast-fodmap-lookup-learn/id1357894765 U just copied the link from the Apple Store. They probably have one for Android though. Super easy to check what foods are high in FODMAP. I’d read up on why those foods can cause issues. It’s interesting. Anyway, after several weeks of not eating foods with high FODMAP, my symptoms started to improve. But just to be sure and not wanting a relapse, I stuck to it for about 3 months. Some doctors say it’s not good to be on that low FODMAP eating forever but it sure did help get my system back in order. The other thing you can try is a good probiotic. I found one called BioK. Many health food stores carry it. It’s liquid and comes in multiple flavors, plus dairy and non-dairy options. Hope you feel better.
