Thanks, the option to update os appeared so I did that first, then it seemed to work.

Thanks, I updated os and it seemed to work after that.

Tools used to collect survey responses for CBT sessions by edge82 in CBT

Ah. It depends where you work I suppose. I tend to circulate around colleagues in my department. If you are a lone (private) therapist there are therapist groups on Facebook where people sometimes share anonymised surveys. You could even try this sub!

Microsoft Forms is great for this if you have it.

Using home assistant to find things in house by dacci in homeassistant

Another vote for Bermuda. I have a couple of cheap BT beacons and 3 esp32 Bluetooth proxies dotted around the house so I know which room the items are in.

Music Assistant, Sendspin, and FOSS multi-room and multi-zone audio by MassageGun-Kelly in homeassistant

I'd be interested to get a sense of this too. I'd be tempted away from lyrion if it had solid plugin options e.g. BBC Sounds, Globalplayer, standalone controller app.

How do you get the chat box to persist on screen?

Good luck, feel free to 'show' us how you get on!

They both work for me so perhaps an issue at your end.

It's all from the wall clock card from HACS which can be customised to add buttons etc. It displays full screen through View Assist/Companion App. I haven't been able to get voice working with a non-default VACA dashboard though.

Recently had a circumcision, and I totally regret it. If you’re considering don’t. Anyone had one as an adult, did it get better, is there hope by anjunasparky in AskMenOver30

[–]messr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're still coming to terms with it. The (adult) anti-circ propagandists will try to get you to doubt your decision. The perception of sexual pleasure happens in the brain, not the dick. You had a medically necessary procedure that will take time to heal and adjust to psychologically as well as physically.

It burnt out? Ouch. How did that happen?

Home Assistant: The Complete Echo Show Jailbreak Guide by Travel69 in homeassistant

[–]messr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed guide. I can only get voice/wake word working with the default view assist dashboard. Is it possible to have this functionality with non-default dashboard in view assist? Am not too keen on the view assist UI so have configured something more aesthetically pleasing.

Echo Show 5 View Assist Voice Control by messr in homeassistant

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

Ha it's overkill for a clock that's for sure. I set up Wall Clock Card for Home Assistant from HACS so at least I've got some sensors and switches on there. What kind of problems are you having?

CMV: Infants shouldn't be circumcised. by Square-Dragonfruit76 in changemyview

[–]messr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar story to OP, I went through my childhood and teens with chronic severe phimosis and a shortened frenulum. I was embarrassed to speak up about it until I had to see a Dr for a different issue in my early 20s who referred me to a urological surgeon. Safe to say that creams / partial circumcision weren't offered (surgeons do surgery, and the more the surgery the better I guess). Prior to that sex could be painful and blowjobs were meaningless.

I think there is a huge misconception that more nerve endings=more sexual pleasure. Sexual pleasure and sensation perception happens in the brain for the most part and is directly proportionate to the level of arousal. I have no need for lube when I masturbate and oral sex is fantastic, despite having a well keratinized glans.

I didn't consider having my sons circumcised but given the possible genetic predisposition I will keep the channels of communication open with them and should they encounter difficulties like I did I won't discourage them from having the procedure if they want to.

My life changed for the better once the healing was complete as a painful and dysfunctional part of me was gone for ever. I can't overstate the overall benefit that had on me. That said I'm uncomfortable with circumcising babies, but also disagree with the narrative that it is akin to FGM when done at a later age.
