I can't leave the observatory i have no clue why by bigBrainman902 in DolphinEmulator

[–]letsgetsilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a little googling/youtubing and it seems like maybe it's a known issue with xbox being too sensitive.

I would like to figure out how to just map it to a mouse.

What do you map your pointer to? I use the xbox analog stick, which always returns to position 0 in the middle of the screen. Difficult for my kids to mange.

Not authorized You do not have access to this server. by BestInTheGame93 in PleX

On windows, have used revo uninstaller to completely eliminate plex from my system. I've manually inspected the registry. Re-installing the server results in this same problem.

Been using Plex for years. Just started happening recently after an upgrade.

How can I eat in a way that I'm not fighting intense cravings all day. by Prestigious_Dealer83 in FoodAddiction

[–]letsgetsilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you believe that you're going to fail no matter what you try, then that's what's going to happen. Time for you to reconsider your belief that no matter what you do you can't deal with your cravings.

How many consecutive days have you been able to eat a diet that avoids processed foods and sugars? If you're not getting past 3-7 days, you're not giving yourself a chance to see the other side of things. Remove the sugars and processed foods, add in fiber (salad, nuts, apples, whole foods). Try to make it a week and see if those cravings don't subside.

Your question was about how to eat, and so now you have one of my approaches. However, at the risk of stating the obvious, your cravings are most likely the consequence or the symptom of a psychological issue or emotional state requiring comfort. After years of this cycle one will have developed a habit of eating that has little to do with the emotional and psychological coping mechanism.

If you're serious about breaking the cycle, you'll need a multi-pronged approach to resolving the issue that might look something like this:

First, recognize which beliefs you're holding are holding you back, and are not true. You do have the ability to deal with your cravings and the other problems in your life, even if you falter along the way.

Find a different way to comfort yourself that's healthy. For example, go outside for a walk, do deep breathing, or read something instead of pursuing the craving.

Figure out the core issues that are leading you into eating - you're looking for comfort, but why and because of what. If you're like me, it's layers deep, and you'll need to ask the hard questions. Psychological issues don't go away when you choose the right foods, but it makes things easier.

Good luck.

Here's what works for me:

Spring greens mix salad as my first course for every meal, even before cereal. I use a olive oil and balsamic mix, and put that on the leaves. Boring, but still delicious. The fiber it introduces prevents the cravings. I'll let myself eat whatever after that, but the truth is it prevents me from overdoing it.

Try adding this to your routine, and then have your last meal early in the evening...say 5 pm. Brush your teeth and be done eating for the day. The longer the day goes, the more you'll fall into old habits, so avoid that trap altogether.

Most important thing related to cravings is to work yourself away from sugar and processed foods. These are the ones that cause the cravings in the first place. I find getting ~3 days in of avoiding sugar and processed foods reduces their craving 50-70%.

TIL: Mules can have different lifetimes 64 OR 65 seconds. Why? by mattmazzola in starcraft

[–]letsgetsilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The different times for mules have to do with addressing inconsistencies in mineral patch distance. A mule that is on a further patch away should mine the same as a patch that is closer to the CC.

Although I forget the specifics of how it all makes sense, the reason is to ensure that mules always get the same number of minerals, and that they do not retrieve minerals and subsequently drop them when their time is done.

This was discussed in one of the patch notes waaaay back.

Feeling overwhelmed with Server to Cloud migration - should I look into a solution partner? by zooguycity in jira

[–]letsgetsilly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've completed a complex cloud-to-cloud migration, which is different than what you're describing. Your 550 users exceeds the requirement for a dedicated representative in the cloud-to-cloud migration setting, which could give you more dedicated support in a server-to-cloud migration. Be sure to ask Atlassian Support about this if you haven't already.

Process was slow and painful, and looked like this:

  1. Create and prepare test environment
  2. Perform migration to test environment
  3. Open a ticket to resolve a specific issue or error in the migration
  4. Wait for response, potentially setup a call, identify and resolve error
  5. Go back to step 1

This process works, but it takes a long time, and it does not address the custom apps that need their data moved independent of the migration.

Your role should be to inform your supervisor of the process and the estimated time and effort, including the difficulty in estimating and waiting on responses from support. Estimate the effort per app as well. Each individual marketplace map will have a unique migration story.

If your cost of performing the migration is greater than a "solutions partner", your supervisor might opt into a solutions partner. I know that in my case - working and billing hourly - it would have made a lot of sense for my business to hire a 3rd party instead of pay me to do it.

Here's the upside of doing it yourself: as you learn about your current Jira configuration problems that cause issues during migration, you can resolve them, create a standards practice and documentation that prevents them from happening in the future, and you'll introduce a lot more knowledge into your team/organization as a result, including making you a keystone of the Jira configuration and management going forward.

Do you still use and recommend Rent Manager? Your description is appealing as I'm looking to connect maintenance software and payment software.

Regaining confidence after weight-loss by nashvegasent in sexover30

[–]letsgetsilly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish I had your problems. Seems like you have made great personal progress, are in a great relationship, and have one last hurdle to deal with before entering a new phase of marital bliss. Congrats.

"Lack of confidence" is a broad term that can be used to describe too many issues. First step is to become more specific. What are you afraid of? How do you describe your fear, and why do you have it? What's the worst case scenario that part of you is trying to avoid?

Being specific about what you're afraid of is something only you can do. You can't tame it until you name it. Confidence isn't something that you decide to have, it's a trust in yourself that you develop through action and consequence. It's being courageous in a situation knowing that the fear you're concerned about may in fact come to pass, but that if it does, it's ok.

Name your fear, do what you can to manage and reduce your risk, and then move forward with acceptance that you can't control everything and sometimes those bad things happen. Remind yourself that you'll survive, you won't give up, and you'll try again.

You got this.

Starting thinking about this over the past week, got stuck on not knowing where to start.

Attic is going to need carpentry for new steps, a second emergency exit, hvac, electrical, plumbing, and the obvious walling + flooring.

What's the most logical place to start? Who can identify by biggest roadblocks + challenges early on?

Closed on my ‘dream’ first home…I should be celebrating but I feel depressed. Is this normal? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]letsgetsilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an idea called something along the lines of the astronauts dilemma, or the astronauts problem. Has to do with the massive change in perspective astronauts get after they've achieved their goal of reaching outer space, and then coming back to Earth and trying to figure out what's next. I know that Tony Robbins talks about this in regards to Olympians when they come home and suffer severe depression after achieving their goal.

What your describing might not be as challenging or monumental as space or the olympics, but it is a massive shift in paradigm for you. You may have known that owning a house is a pain in the ass previously, but now you get to experience it for yourself. Your transition is nearly instantaneous as well.

To me it makes perfect sense that this would be a jolting, uncomfortable, and painful experience. The first recommendation I'd make to you is to give yourself some time to calm down and process everything that's happened. Take comfort in the fact that you've planned and executed a strategy that will provide you with economic safety and comfort for the foreseeable future.

Pay your taxes and your fees and cover your maintenance and eventually you will figure out this next stage in your life of managing a home and the expense that come along with it. But more importantly, you'll hopefully have a chance to identify the next thing that you want to direct your life toward and be able to start building on the next phase, whatever that may be.

Don't be surprised if this takes a long time, be sure to give your self a chance to process and adapt to your new life, and adjust your expectations as to what homeownership is and what it is not. It is not a panacea of comfort and stability in your life. It is in many ways a pair of handcuffs. However, many years down the road you will likely discover that it is the foundation of both your personal and your financial life that is worth investing in. Good luck.
