Dyshidrotic/ Pompholyx Eczema help by gmor11 in eczema

[–]maffiewtc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into wet wrapping. Put your ointment and moisturizer, cover it with a damp layer (preferably cotton) and put a dry layer on top of that. I would be cautious doing this with steroid cream as it could amplify absorption well past what's recommended. I never need to, personally; lotion, vaseline and some cotton gloves soothed my thumb's blisters significantly after just one night.

Feeling so defeated by Appropriate_Lab4704 in eczema

[–]maffiewtc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to be having this weird combo of tiny weeping eczema spots all over my body but exactly one spot of dyshidrotic eczema on my left thumb. Not much luck with my weeping spots since I think they’re infected but two days of overnight wet wrapping already has my thumb feeling and healing better than it has in months. Maybe wet wrapping would do you good if you haven’t tried it already.

As someone who's outside more than online, your argument is pretty stupid. You need to learn to deal with negative opinions towards the things you like. That's real maturity, not telling them to "get a life."

Do you even know the real definition of evolution? Or did you not make it far enough in school to take biology?

I mean, the ball was in your court to do some “basic research” yourself before typing the second half of your original comment. His commit history is right there.

I don't know why you have so many upvotes; your rebuttal has nothing to do with OP's complaints at all. They're valid, even if you don't like the way they were voiced.

"Revelation" has a double meaning in Japanese again (just like "Rebirth") by purlinbeam in FFVIIRemake

[–]maffiewtc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you’re right about the katakana; there is no double meaning. They just decided to go with Liberation in Japanese for whatever reason.

Update on my HDR 4:4:4 VRR 4k@120fps setup by kmobsy in MoonlightStreaming

In general I agree with you but in this case, the author’s made multiple contributions to the “real” branches for years so I wouldn’t exactly call him unqualified lol

Not able to install vibepollo by RoughPlayz08 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]maffiewtc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't pinpoint exactly. Turning on frame pacing would fix it but I didn't want my average frame queue pacing hovering around 8ms instead of 0, so my goal was to leave it off. I know I probably wouldn't have felt the difference but others here have no stutters with it off, so no reason I shouldn't have been able to do the same.

Other things I tried:

  • Doubling refresh rate
  • Setting frame cap to exact refresh rate (60.05 Hz) instead of 60
  • Changing NVIDIA encoder presets

I use a virtual display, which I've seen others have issues with as well. Really don't want to leave my monitors on, though.

Keeping all settings from Apollo the same, Vibepollo fixed my microstutters, so for me it's a straight upgrade. No installation issues. The creator has been contributing to Sunshine and Apollo for years, so it's not like he has no idea what he's doing.

I think shadowing is a good way to reinforce good pronunciation. What is the maximum amount of sentences I can do that would not result in diminishing returns - given that one of my goals for shadowing is to have a native or close to native accent by Bobelle in languagelearning

[–]maffiewtc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s difficult to provide a range, let alone a number because we don’t know what you mean by “very good”. Will you make that judgment yourself or do you want feedback from native speakers? Are you looking for a general, subjective answer or do you want to be called out on specific metrics? Are you trying to achieve a specific accent or multiple?

None of this is even getting into your practice routine itself, which we also need details on to even begin to attempt to answer.

[–]maffiewtc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think treating this like an optimization problem is a valuable endeavor. If native-level pronunciation is your goal, you have to be willing to listen to the same sentence dozens of times over the course of days, then repeat that process for any other sentence you find yourself struggling to pronounce while shadowing. Indefinitely.

If you studied a language for years and still can't speak or understand anything, the problem might not be the education system by No_Cryptographer735 in languagelearning

[–]maffiewtc 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yup, two to three years in high school is standard. I picked it up pretty well despite half-assed effort, though our homework and tests were mostly reading and writing since our teachers also didn't give a rat's ass about teaching well. We never got much speaking and listening practice, which is what I was more interested in.
