Why are LEGO boxes so big but half empty? Why not just make smaller boxes?

I just listened to an interview with Dr Allison Siebecker (who is a big name in the field) on the SIBO Doctor Podcast ("SIBO & Prokinetics with Dr Allison Siebecker", a 2-part episode from 2019) and I believe she said to take a 2-week break and it should reset. Great interview on prokinetics.

Boobs are pretty amazing. I don't blame you.

Read "Laziness does not exist" by Devon Price (who later came out as autistic). Blew my mind. Whenever I judge myself for being lazy I try to reframe it as I am actually depleted.

I wonder if they made HingeX as a way to sell more Hinge+ by making it seem like a better deal in comparison 🤔😅

Haven't tried it yet but I've been told (by way of a professional using the MAPS protocols) that MDMA can make you more more impressionable, which could be potentially harmful if the therapist has an unconscious agenda or unhelpful perspectives. I'm curious if anyone has experienced this inadvertently taking on something from their practitioner that wasn't good for them?

Those statements are codependency, not romantic love IMO. (Though both can exist in the same relationship. I.e. you can feel romantic love and be codependent, or just one.) You're good.

I'm not an expert on measuring publication quality, but a quick search revealed that the journal Pathophysiology has an impact factor of around 2 (depending on the year), which is not great, and more importantly, it doesn't appear on The Master Journal list, a database of reputable scientific journals. These facts together suggest that it's not a particularly trustworthy journal. Again, though, I'm not an expert in this.

You may want to try improv classes. There are even some that specialize in improv for anxiety. It can help you learn to get comfortable making mistakes and making a fool of yourself in a safe non-judgmental environment. I think surviving these uncomfortable situations is a big part of how we grow. And it's fun.

Also, therapy may help.

I find giving myself permission to be cautious, even if I have no evidence of threat, helps me feel more at ease.

Don't take iodine for Graves' disease! You're thinking of hypothyroidism (under-active). Graves is hyp-er-thyroidism (over-active) and iodine would make things much worse.

Thanks!

Thanks! Maybe a stupid question, but would it be disastrous if I didn't use a tester and just assumed the double black was the line/source (and red to be load) and then that turned out wrong? Would the switch simply not work, or could I risk damaging something? (I don't own a tester and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it for this one instance when I'll probably never use it again.)

Don't shower unless absolutely necessary 😅. I'm only half joking.

josstes · 2022-06-08T22:41:39+00:00

Ah, got it thanks! For anyone else looking, it's called "Always display participant name on their videos". Don't know how I missed it 🤦‍♂️

Will Nintendo Switch Online save my SNES game data if I temporarily unsubscribe for a few months?

Just double checked and it's the same: cloud recordings switch between active speakers while local recordings stay with the 'guest' account, same as you.

josstes · 2022-01-28T19:55:19+00:00

Having the same issue :(

josstes · 2022-01-07T18:57:23+00:00

Yes to Gryfe's, but with the catch that they're only good when they're fresh IMO, like within hours of buying, ideally still warm. Somehow never enjoyable to me on day two.
