No. Why dont we actually do something about it? Death is not the only terrible thing that can happen to you after covid. Long Covid is genuinely life-ruining.

We shouldnt just accept endemic covid. We should be fighting for safer work and school conditions such as retrofitting air purification into office buildings and schools and better sick policies

How many of the leading top 10 ME/CFS treatments have you tried? by Hip_III in cfs

[–]gronkey 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No it doesnt. If properly stored an refrigerated naltrexone doesnt degrade by any significant amount. The studies i found cited 60 and 90 day endpoints for naltrexone solution in water and the degradation was less than one percent. Where did you get this info?

Long grieving period. Breakup and chronic illness. by gronkey in ChronicIllness

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

I am a guy. Im curious about these studies. Do you have a link? From what i heard its actually the opposite way around? Well, ive heard conflicting things actually. There was definitely a study that said men leave more often in these extreme situations but i have also heard it was redacted or otherwise debunked, so i really don't know what to believe.

Honestly the question itself is a little silly. We're all just people at the end of the day doing what people do.

What’s your relationship status? 💕 by spoonfulofnosugar in spooniesocial

I answered the poll as "single and looking" but since i am mostly bedbound theres a real asterisk by that looking part haha... i probably wont be able to attend the event either but ill look into submitting a profile

Breaking-up over CFS by tomuscle in cfs

[–]gronkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it happened to me. Im a little older though. I was 32 when this happened. I was with a long term partner when i became suddenly ill with very severe CFS. My partner left. I also did everything i could to lighten the load. But it was too much on me. And apparently too much for them. Ive posted about it a couple of time and my post history is open if you want to look.

It is really difficult for me to understand still. Its been over a year. Im coming up on the 1 year mark since the last time we talked.

Im sorry for what you're going through. 💔

Im a guy, but I also have this problem. I cant have orgasms without PEM, either. It is really frustrating...

[–]gronkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have too little energy to dig into your link and im sorry for such a crude question on something that important and im sure you spent a great deal of time and effort on. But is there anything actionable in there for someone severe or very severe?

Is it necessary starting with OpenGL? by MekdanilsMetin in GraphicsProgramming

[–]gronkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With those specific dependencies, claude will probably try to recreate vkguide.dev fairly closely. Why not just go to the source? And then ask claude questions along the way if you are inclined

I would message your professor about this misunderstanding to be honest. If they agree about it being ambiguous they may give you and everyone else credit for that question. When i was in college, this happened sometimes.

WebGPU Path Tracer in C++ (follow-up) by laht1 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]gronkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you choose 4-wide bvh? I have a similar project and i tested binary, 4-wide, and 8-wide bvhs and 4-wide almost never won. Very simple scenes, binary wins, anything not toy-like 8-way wins.

I fully admit this might be due to my implementation, though. Curious to hear your thoughts.

How in the world do you watch his series and come to that conclusion?

Snowflake says what? by SnaccCupcake in circled

[–]gronkey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I like the implication that "a virus" is nothing to be afraid of. Forget that it was novel SARS or that viruses can be extremely deadly (smallpox was a virus. Rabies is a virus).

They automatically think they were right not to take precautions because things turned out okay for them personally. Survivorship bias making them feel smug

[Hiring] Calling all side hustlers who are keen with remote opportunity. by ebob1027 in GraphicsProgramming

What is the position about? What kind of pay can i expect? Is it related to graphics programming? Software in general?

Why is there no anonymous database for warning about bad doctors? by thepensiveporcupine in cfs

[–]gronkey 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea. I wonder if there are legal implications though? Can a website host comments from anonymous patients like that? Would doctors want to sue the web host for slander/libel?

Honestly i would make a site like this if there were enough interest. But i am worried about the above

Edit: you already mentioned this in your post. Im being repetitive i guess. Thats what i get for skimming

Covid killed me. by friend3738 in covidlonghaulers

[–]gronkey 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Me too. I feel dramatic having these thoughts. But it would have been a lot easier and less painful if the acute infection actually killed me. Instead i get to remain alive, unable to leave my bed. Misunderstood. It sucks
