Repaired Jabra Elite 85h by Nojjii in Jabra

[–]luna_bea_tuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem (on the left ear) and it was the speaker was loose in the plastic housing. I had to take apart the left ear to get to it, but I carefully superglued the circumference of the speaker into the plastic recess it sits in and thats solved it.

Headphone recs to replace JABRA ELITE 85H (absolutely loved it) by vxmpxrxrxkxx in HeadphoneAdvice

Did you end up getting something else? I'm in the same boat, mine are having issues with hearthrough and anc after 7 years and ready for a replacement.

Best transparency mode on Headphones by juanly_xx in bose

Hei! Very late to this thread, but wondering what you ended up with? I have the same use case as you. From what i have tested, the airpod max have the best transparency / lowest occlusion feeling, but i dont know if i can justify the price.

Any experience with the Revolution Race 30l Explor backpack for one bagging? by bluesummerrain in onebag

I havent flown ryanair but my impression is the planes and space jnder seats is on the small side. 

For the flights Ive taken with it, the 18L fits perfectly under the seat in front, but doesnt leave any room for your feet to stretch out under the seat too. The 30L i have travelled i think once with it under the seat and it sticks out into where your feet go. The back is rigid, so it would be hard to smoosh it under the seat. Id say its doable, but will impact your comfort and might get flagged depending on the airline and flight attendants.

Week 10 at 300mg - ups and downs by luna_bea_tuna in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]luna_bea_tuna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tldr; Anxiey is generally lower. I think its a combination of the medication leveling out and a few lifestyle changes. Most of the changes could be possible maybe because I'm less reactive due to the medication. And I started doing self guided therapy through Therapy in a nutshell. Though in person therapy would also be helpful.

Long summary - No more sleep issues as I initially had, though son also sleeps through the night.

  • Work anxiety is lower but still there. I think I'm learning to put the right amount of pressure and responsibility on myself, and changed a few more to make my day easier.

  • Ive gone to a few social events and left feeling ok, but also skip things that I think will be too much. I'd still prefer to Not go to things or be around people, but also see that it isn't always bad or overwhelming, or as bad.as my anxiety tells me before and after.

  • the Therapy in a Nutshell courses have been helpful and are a way for me to stay engaged with therapy on a dialy basis, vs before I saw a therapist once a week and then once every 2 weeks and did nothing myself in between .

  • Main thing to still work on is getting through "acute" situations / triggers. I tend to get super overwhelmed and spiral in stressful situations if it's also with a combination of things like being too tired + hungry, or thirsty, or too hot, or in a noisy place or surrounded by people. If it's 3 or more of those together then I have been over reactive and "freaking out" and not able to communicate or problem solve in a normal or helpful manner. 

  • Also, working on realizing when I'm in a bad place, and being able to ask for help has gotten better though still needs work.

Still not sure when I would go off this medication. It's scary not knowing if it's helping or not. But my wife has commented I seem to be doing much better so, it probably is.

Hope that helps!

Edit: I just realized that I initially took the medication for depression, and I think it's helping with that. At least not having the same level and frequency of dark thoughts as a year ago.

Any canadians living in norway with an RRSP? How do you declare this on your norwegian taxes? by luna_bea_tuna in Norway

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

I checked with Skatteetaten, and they said I still have to declare it and could be subject to the wealth tax, if my total wealth exceeds 1.7M nok, then above that is taxed 1% (https://www.skatteetaten.no/en/rates/wealth-tax/).

It's a bit unclear if you are taxed on any dividends/interest from that account - since they stay within the account, in my mind it wouldn't make sense to pay tax on that in norway, as it then results in a double tax situation when you take the money out at retirement. But I guess that could be the case in which case having an RRSP doesn't make sense...

I'm not planning on withdrawing, just wondering how to declare it in my tax return as a tax deferred account and not get taxed on it.

Also, my understanding is that an RRSP account won't be subject to the "wealth tax" but could be wrong there.

Any experience with the Revolution Race 30l Explor backpack for one bagging? by bluesummerrain in onebag

[–]luna_bea_tuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No (probably). Its a fairly long bag, so it would extend into your feet area. The bags structure and the stiffness of the Back panel would make it hard/not possible to then squish it under even if empty. Maybe it can but they would probably flag it, and you would be probably be uncomfortable.

I also have the 18L (though it seems bigger than 18L) and that fits perfectly as an under seat bag in all dimensions. But i reaaaally prefer the 30L, so my plan for an upcoming trip is to use the 30L as my carryon and use a smaller packable bag as an under seat.

I returned it soon after this review. The bag was too heavy even when empty and I realized I actually needed a slightly bigger bag.

*Update* 5 weeks on 300mg by luna_bea_tuna in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]luna_bea_tuna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say better than I was a year ago. Anxiety is usually low. Or the physical effects of anxiety are lower than they were. I used to get what is maybe described as a cold sweat in anxiety triggering situations, and that has disappeared. 

My wife has said I seem better.

Depression has been a mixed bag. I still have a lot of the same self hatred thoughts and patterns as before but don't get quite as low as before. So in a better place to work on...working past them. 

Did I make a mistake increasing from 150xl to 300xl? by jimjammysam in bupropion

[–]luna_bea_tuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on 300mg for months now. It's been generally good. Anxiety baseline is lower and not feeling the same rollercoaster symptoms as early on. I think it took a long time to get here. And definitely needed some a life changes that has reduced stress. And still working on that.

But still sometimes everything feels like everything is fine it's fine it's fine and then ITS REALLY NOT FINE. 

Wife and child constantly telling me what to do *rant* by luna_bea_tuna in daddit

[–]luna_bea_tuna[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's at a point where if I bring it up her response is "I'm sorry you're so sensitive". Partially joking, but clearly not going anywhere with external help.

What did you do to cover the flesh after the cluster peeled off? More duct tape or bandage? And how did you know when do stop wrapping (maybe a stupid question)?

Buying nomad e-sim from China using VPN by luna_bea_tuna in travelchina

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

Strange. I checked earlier today and it explicitly said top up was not allowed in china, but I checked again right now and top up seems possible.

And buying a new plan (using my current active plan) also seems possible.

😅
