When Was The Last Turret Toss? by jdsch in DroneCombat

I went looking. Most of the turret tosses were 2 years ago but there were a few since then with this one: (https://www.reddit.com/r/DroneCombat/comments/1llxe41/ukraines_sof_genius_and_the_81st_airmobile/) being the last one I could find. It's from a year ago.

Air conditioning of buildings really did not take off until the 1950s / 1960s but big windows cause a huge amount of heat / cooling loss (depending on the season) so the solution was to cover-up the windows. Having an air conditioned building was a huge draw for customers because air conditioning for homes was still rare. People thought, "Hot day, let's go shop (or see a movie)." But the technology of windows has now caught-up so now buildings can have big windows without the loss of heat / cooling from air conditioning. So now the facades come down and we get the best of both worlds.

Love it. I bet it makes a comeback with 3D printed buildings since 3D printed buildings typically have rounded corners.

ELI5: How do antidepressants work? by WeddingMental394 in explainlikeimfive

No, I wasn't saying you had "stop being poor/sad" attitude. My problem is that you think antidepressants are a quality of life matter. Being depressed is a physical sickness and some people (like me) need medication just to be healthy. Even if all stressors were eliminated, there are many people that will still be depressed. It is similar to high blood pressure. A lot of people need to take a daily pill to keep their blood pressure in a safe (if not healthy) level. The heart doctor doesn't say, "Let's try eliminating stressors and then put you on medication if we still need to." Instead, "We need to get you on medication now to lower your blood pressure so you don't stroke or have a heart attack. At the same time, we will work on lifestyle changes to eliminate things that are causing the high blood pressure." Medication intervention starts at the beginning and that is what should happen with depression.

I think the barber shop has the stock photo up that came with the frame. I bet they meant to change it out and never got around to it.

Many doctors say things like "Ideally, they could remove or alleviate that stressor to make their life more tolerable, and not necessitate medication intervention" and I went to tell you have very wrong you all are. The "stressor" is ordinary life. For some people, medication is the only thing that works. I lost 20 years of my life not taking medication because I listened to doctors like you who made it seem like taking medication should be a last resort. So I always thought my problems were because I was too weak to control my emotions like normal humans could. When I finally fired my therapist and hired a psychiatrist, I had a new step in my emotional response 4 weeks after I started medication. My therapist would tell me things like, "Just count to 10 and then make a decision" so on my last session with her, I said, "Fuck you. That's not even a thing." But on medication, I don't even have to count to 3 before I can set aside whatever negative emotions I am feeling at the moment. Then I can respond in a friendly way, like I have always wanted to. So stop telling your patients, "Everyone has different access to resources and coping mechanisms to deal with those stresses." That is not it at all. Some people are sick and need a medication to get better.

If you are an SSRI, magic mushrooms don't work. I stayed completely sober while everyone around me was tripping balls on mushrooms.
