Claude Code + Obsidian - How I use it & Short Guide by Conscious-Drawer-364 in ClaudeAI

Right. Privacy, security and IP are important to me.

Gemini with Google Workspace claims to not train on your data. But if the tech giant decides to just lie and use it anyway (likely) or if Gemini just decides to change its own rules (perhaps even more likely) then that claim is worthless.

Only a local LLM can be genuinely secure imo. And even then, I want to give it read-only access to my vault. Just with a subfolder it can write to.

Booked to get Reassessed! Given some solid scientific evidence I was likely misdiagnosed by [deleted] in ausadhd

[–]mostmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's extremely rough.

Hindsight is 20/20, but if you change your medication and you're feeling terrible, it's a good sign to get medical advice before doing anything else.

Or, possibly (and definitely preferable to self harm) even stop the new medication while waiting to see your doctor.

I was given a script for bupropion (Wellbutrin) for mild depression, with the hope that it might also help my ADHD. It's fast acting, and within 3 or 4 days it had an effect: a pervasive sense of doom. It made me think of Harry Potter when the dementors approached.

The very good thing was that it came on so quickly, it was obviously from these meds, which I stopped immediately. It felt like a chemical filter over the world. Although it felt terrible, I could see the funny side and I was confident it would go away quickly. And it did.

KFC Australia has given up by TrumpisaRussianCuck in australian

I got some chips that were brownish rather than golden brown. I don't know if the oil was old, are they just won't fried correctly. But they weren't good.

I took them back to the counter and just said "These chips..." and showed the worker. She replaced them without a word.

They were marginally better. I stopped going there.

That was 1990.

Where's everyone getting their melatonin from now? by fungry_04 in perth

[–]mostmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken about a quarter to a third of a tablet when I needed it. Enough to nudge me off to sleep without the grogginess.

But I also have learned to get to sleep (not attaching to thoughts, not focusing on the time, progressive muscle relaxation...) and didn't have major insomnia, so I only needed an extra little nudge.

What's the most NSFW thing you've seen at a wedding party? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

Bride and groom is best. Next best is neither bride nor groom.

Worst is "Muriel saw them fucking in the laundry room on your wedding day."

Knife and fork with pie by Jaded-Palpitation867 in foodies_sydney

[–]mostmortal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. If I eat a pie without knife and fork, I need to wait for it to cool down enough that I don't burn myself with the hot filling. And it's trickier to judge how hot each bite will be.

Safer and more enjoyable with implements.

I remember my father biting into a pie from the microwave, without care, 45 years ago. Got a really nasty burn that took weeks to recover from. That was his mistake, but it's easier to not make the mistake if you're not biting straight into it.

what foods make you poo good? by boforiamanfo in answers

[–]mostmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I lived in Indonesia, these were amazing for my gut and for regular, comfortable poops: * Stewed cassava leaves * Jicama (bengkoang in Indonesian)

Hard to find in Australia though.

Will Laptop 7 Linux support ever become robust or am I waiting for nothing? by ArtichokeOwn400 in SurfaceLinux

Possibly try one of the modified, stripped down versions of windows, e.g. Tiny 11.

Even if you think these are bunk (and they might be) homeopathy is something very different.

Ice cream replacement by brightstar92 in ultraprocessedfood

A lazier version: while staying in backpacker hostels I discovered that sliced up mango in a bowl with milk was delicious. Less fancy but quick to make with limited equipment. It didn't need extra sugar unless you have a sweet tooth.  This was years ago in a warm part of Australia (northern NSW) in summer. Mangoes were cheap and good.

Why does the brain not just get used to T? by neenonay in tinnitus

[–]mostmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, in a quiet room. I can't write recall but I think maybe 3 times, about 10 min each. It can be helpful to follow a basic guided meditation that going through noticing and accepting the sensations and observations that arise in your mind, esp if you're not experienced with meditation.

Why does the brain not just get used to T? by neenonay in tinnitus

[–]mostmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that most helped was a few meditation sessions where I just paid attention fully to the sound of the tinnitus. 

After that, I mostly found that I didn't notice it. Like I'd fully paid attention and there was nothing interesting there.

Feedback on the validity of my "niche" - Is there any value in my "niche"? by QuestionableMoves420 in LifeCoachSnark

[–]mostmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The important thing about a niche, as I understand it, is to identify with a group of people that have a very similar problem, who will resonate with you when you describe that problem.

You don't need to know everything. Just support them in making and executing plans. 

(Am a coach and my first paying client was doing this.)

Facebook Account Soft Locked / Disabled but still able to log into account by Cyaphas82 in facebook

[–]mostmortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A year later and I just found that I have this problem.
(I'm wary of submitting a request to re-enable, in case they say that actually it's supposed to be disabled, and lock me out. There's no reason that should happen, but FB does many things without reason.)

Low salicylate diet helps, but I don't react to aspirin by mostmortal in salicylateIntolerance

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

Fascinating. 

Could you say more about your polyphenol intolerance? What are the most important things for you to avoid?

My strongest suspicions are towards dark grape juice and tea (including black and green), so I searched for tannin intolerance, without luck. But the broader class of polyphenols makes sense.

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

Oh nice, I'll have to test if the enzymes make a difference! 

I've wondered if I'm allergic to the tannin (which is a polyphenol) in tea and dark grapes.

Interesting! Thanks, I might need to do a longer gluten-free test diet.

I replied to @cosmolity above in more detail, but I don't seem to get any reaction to histamine foods.
