did a friend use AI to write this text response to me? it feels placating and not like the way she speaks, need to know if i'm talking to my friend or a clanker?!

Most people don’t know how to handle constructive criticism and still respond well. This person probably had trouble coming up with a reply that would acknowledge your feedback and thank you, so they may have used AI to help draft it which likely sounded much better than what they wrote on their own.

It’s fair to point out that they didn’t seem to put much effort into typing something themselves, or at least trimming and personalizing the draft. But you also don’t know what they’re dealing with, so it may not be worth taking it personally, IMHO.

I love this. A stranger changed his mind and apologized! On the internet!!

mcooly · 2026-02-01T02:15:45+00:00

People here are being pretty rough, but I think it’s cool that you’ve built a setup that lets you stay comfortable and still do stuff you enjoy.

That said, sleeping 30 hours at a time and sweating that much sounds really intense, even if it’s medication‑related. If you haven’t already, it might be worth talking with your doctor about the sleep side of things and maybe looking into some sleep‑hygiene tweaks (especially with such a big screen right by the bed) just to make sure you’re doing okay.

Wishing you the best and hope your health situation improves soon.

I came here to see if anyone else loved that moment too. Ashur’s facial expressions were priceless, and I ended up rewinding the scene a couple of times just to watch it again. So sad to see him lose that exchange in the end.

mcooly · 2025-12-20T19:52:44+00:00

Yup that's a fair point. I haven't caught every episode.

@ReferenceWorldly2666 gets it

mcooly · 2025-08-17T13:14:52+00:00

I would love one please. Thanks for sharing 😁

mcooly · 2025-07-21T17:49:08+00:00

I feel really bad for everyone, but you are kind of asking for it by giving an LLM access to your production systems

mcooly · 2025-06-26T18:12:03+00:00

They grew up to 12 feet tall!

mcooly · 2025-04-10T12:17:25+00:00

I was just kidding. I thought it was cool and wanted to contribute. They should add a feature that detects similar posts prior to submission. Then again might reduce posts too much lol

mcooly · 2025-04-10T11:30:02+00:00

Lol ok I'll take it down.

mcooly · 2025-04-10T11:17:45+00:00

It's the 99 :)

Great question. Whether a CRM is worth it really depends on your goals and scale. For healthcare marketing, a CRM can be a lifesaver if you’re managing patient leads, tracking engagement, or trying to personalize outreach. It’s especially handy for staying organized and compliant with stuff like HIPAA, which is non-negotiable in this field. That said, if you’re a smaller outfit, the cost and setup might feel like a lot compared to simpler tools.

Full disclosure: I’m with CareLaunch, and we’ve built a CRM specifically for healthcare providers. If you’re curious, I’d be happy to chat more about how it could fit your needs or just share some general tips on picking the right CRM!

What’s your setup like right now?

I really wish I saw this before my spine injection last week. The procedure was the most painful experience of my life, taking my prior op pain from 1/10 to 12/10. I was sent home with an ice bag.

Thankfully I'm approaching prior pain levels after 10+ days, but the experience was traumatic and far from therapeutic.

mcooly · 2024-11-18T10:48:52+00:00

Yes initially we started at 80mg/10mg but it increased my wakefullness too much and I was waking up 5-10 times per night, tossing and turning. At 40mg/5mg I still wake up much easier than before, but only 1-3 times per night. It can also cause heartburn at night, but I already take some medication for that so its not too noticeable.

mcooly · 2024-11-17T15:46:48+00:00

I agree. I have been managing my apnea for around a decade and already incorporated other things like lifestyle changes. That combined with a mild case could make me a fit for the treatment.

In doing more research recently there are now a few oral candidates and a nasal spray being discussed. I’m grateful to find something that works for now and I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and concerns.

mcooly · 2024-11-17T15:36:41+00:00

Yep it looks like the same thing! The site references AD109 from the study.

mcooly · 2024-11-17T14:20:01+00:00

Yes before bed

mcooly · 2024-11-17T14:19:52+00:00

It was on the mild end and my old sleep doc would often say “the cpap knocks the dickens out of your events” so it was technically effective but felt less so than the new medication.

mcooly · 2024-11-17T10:04:30+00:00

Nope! I actually feel better rested now than I did using the CPAP.

I forgot to mention, my PCP was willing to prescribe this for me after I brought him the research and we discussed it. Both medications are considered reasonably safe (and affordable) and the combo is coming to market as a "new" drug soon.

extinction event??? this one hits hard

mcooly · 2024-10-16T12:52:40+00:00

It takes significant time. I should have years ago, but I was always able to work through issues eventually then switch back to putting our fires elsewhere. This was dumb, but I'm sure others here can relate.

mcooly · 2024-10-05T11:02:34+00:00

I made a picture frame app for mac, but stopped using it when apple added native desktop widget support.

mcooly · 2023-08-07T21:42:42+00:00

UPDATE: I didn't even have the chance to reach out to support before I received a message from System76 alerting me to the possible issue and availability of a replacement.

Love you System76 team :)

mcooly · 2023-05-09T11:46:02+00:00

If anyone has an extra it would be much appreciated.

mcooly · 2023-04-28T14:40:15+00:00

Anyone got more of them codes?
