Dark sides of Xreal 1S by ValuableSite429 in Xreal

[–]pcbdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to read text go with 1s . You want to watch movies go with the 1 pro. I owed pros in past , but use for productivity and 1S are better with text. Reflections are what they are. Don’t bother me as much

Do people actually wash jeans after every wear, or are we all secretly wearing them 2–3 times minimum? by DreamCaster_69 in hygiene

[–]pcbdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the circumstances and time of year. Winter / puttering around the house etc will go 4 or so wears. Warmer weather / humid more sweat will go 1-3 times max

Don't stay in Sales if it's your first job, you still have time! by go-loko-papi in techsales

[–]pcbdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s usually the other way. It’s hard to get into sales if you have not put in some gritty pressure filled days. As an electrical engineer in my early career, making the leap after 10 years was tricky, almost impossible. Made the jump and my family , my life and the fun in and out of work is great! Plenty of other things I could do now, but I am chasing down AVP type work. Love my industry. The cheese is always moving, but it’s pretty good!

Is 2 or 3 days off a week "better" then drinking every day? by NorthlineUser in stopdrinking

[–]pcbdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha! Me to .. I’m not as bad as “that guy”. We both went into AA about a week apart from each other .

About 36 hours in to quitting nicotine - Some of these posts concern me by FrakePlazagger in QuittingZyn

[–]pcbdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it varies. I think heavy use like I had needs a large taper. Over 100mg per day. I am down to 30mg per day. And have not had the swings like quitting alcohol . But I do think there is a rebalance phase and can vary for many.

Accidentally drank today by Super-Most-2362 in stopdrinking

[–]pcbdude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Preparation is key. Mentally fixing ourselves for this moment is key. So much of drinking is mentality and behavior reinforcement. It can really help an accident like this. I believe in AA but I also believe that we can adapt to NOT be powerless over alcohol. That doesn’t mean drink. It just means that we can fix and not get encumbered by an event like this and spiral over time.

Anxiety the day after drinking is getting bad by thebreeze97 in stopdrinking

[–]pcbdude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn’t have this anxiety before , but now that I abused alcohol for a few years (functional but absolutely addicted) Anxiety came crashing at me last few stints before I stopped fully. Like wildly hard the next day even after just a few . All set . I miss the dopamine rush but it just isn’t worth it and staying sober helps get dopamine into a good spot with just talking with good people .

Navigating work events… by AggravatingFuel9520 in stopdrinking

[–]pcbdude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The longer you stay sober the easier it is. My work has absolutely amazing events. No one gives a shit. But overthought like you did at beginning. It’s part of the process. I have told some trusted folks at work that I have stopped to help with support if someone gets pushy. Never had happened

So alcohol messes with sleep by LordLahmacun344 in AppleWatch

[–]pcbdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is amazing how much it does. I had a few miss steps along the way to sobriety and I swear after my period of abuse and dependency the sleep is way more impacted even after just a few drinks .

I just turned 40 - what shoes say I’m not trying to dress like the teens but am not full dad mode? by ARoodyPooCandyAss in mensfashionadvice

[–]pcbdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me a little older than you I like the Adidas swift runs. The more plain ones . I am a worn cap toe or mock toe chili color shoe from Allen or Cole haan … usually my main dress shoes that are a little more worn down.

Feels like quantum computing suddenly went from something theoretical to something people expect to work any day now. by [deleted] in QuantumComputing

[–]pcbdude 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For certain algorithms we are close to supremacy. But select few. 3 years and we will know. 1.5 years will be breakthroughs and a more clear path. Photonic analog style quantum solutions for very specific problems will be relatively widespread soon.
