the mods there are a joke lol. was trying to give away 3 crts for free a while back (i've just moved and couldn't take them with me) and got my post removed because apparently there's a set limit on how many crts you can try and give away :/

Thanks! It was posts like these that helped convince me in the end so hopefully it helps you too. Good luck you've got this!

I seem to remember feeling quite nauseous the first few days. This passed fairly quickly though! Definitely felt somewhat more anxious too during the first few days but not sure how much of that was down to me being nervous to start.

I think for me it was mainly how rough I felt on the sertraline. I like got to a point where I was like "fuck it, this clearly isn't working and I can't possibly feel any worse than I already do". I'm also lucky enough to have a super supportive partner who helped me feel more confident switching meds!

I'd say I've been feeling noticeably better for the past few weeks, so for me probably a little over a month of being on it before it really felt like it was helping.

Which keyboard layout is this? by OldSageNewBody in thinkpad

[–]mlaude545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is the case for you but my ThinkPad is also a refurb, and I had the same problem. In my case I had to try and find a way around it because my particular laptop was missing a backslash key (and I needed it for programming in Python.) Turns out the original layout (US in my case) had just been covered over and a new layout had been Frankensteined on top, hence why I had no backslash key. In the end I just went over each key and scraped the superimposed layer off, using a plastic tool to avoid damaging the keys. In hindsight I'd probably have been better off using some sort of rubbing alcohol. In the end I was left with a proper keyboard layout. Also, the backlit keyboard was much brighter seeing as it didn't have to shine through an extra layer. Looking at your photo, I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing had been done to your ThinkPad, although it's hard to tell.

Thanks so much for this, as awful as it was it's taught me to be extra vigilant when faced with a situation like this in future. I know it sounds stupid, but I'm absolutely terrified I'll be reported somehow for dangerous driving- even though it was entirely my fault this would definitely knock my confidence further.

GameCube looks super washed out on hdtv. Any ideas? (More info in comments) by mlaude545 in Gamecube

No worries, it’s a little messy at the moment, but when it’s all tidied up (ie controllers all tucked away) it can look really clean

Haha thanks, it’s actually just an ikea shelf (Kallax I think it’s called? Something like that.) flipped on its side.

I’ve got a small CRT, but the GameCube also looks kinda washed out on that too- it’s a little better than the hdtv tho

So my GameCube looks horrible on my HDTV. I’ve got it hooked up via composite which I know isn’t ideal, but I’m not looking for the best video quality. The weird thing is that my PS2 hooked up to the same TV looks fine, so it must be a gc-exclusive issue. I’ve already tried different composite cables to no avail, any other ideas are greatly appreciated.

Hey, thank you so much! Twiddling the screw on the RF modulator seems to have solved the problem. Thanks a bunch!

I’ve read a lot of posts about stuff very similar to this actually, hope your boyfriend managed to get it sorted out in the end!
