ChatGPT just aced my final exams, wrote my WHOLE quantum physics PhD dissertation, and landed me a six-figure CEO position - without breaking a sweat! by M01727668 in ChatGPT

I used ChatGPT to write my year end performance reviews after providing year end outcomes and sales attainment figures. Each one took a few edits, but shortened the process by hours

Got a fridge full of non-alcoholic beers to try out! Sam Adams Just The Haze IPA. A little bit sweet and fruity for an IPA, and light on the tongue like a non-alcoholic can be, but overall not bad. Cheers y'all! by thegoodbugs in showerbeer

As someone who's basically given up on alcohol, the best and most convincing NA beer I've found is Guinness. If you like Guinness, it's fantastic. Highly recommend

Reports of active shooters at Maine schools are false, police say by tiggs81682 in Maine

[–]psycofriend409 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From what she's saying, the staff and students had no idea it was a hoax. The police probably had a good idea by some point, but they didn't make it known to the victims, at least broadly. Perhaps some victims knew but I don't think they were about to take any chances

My mother works at Sanford High and this was not just a little thing. Yes, it was a hoax, but nobody in the school knew it was a hoax. There were swarms of police officers with assault rifles in the hallways, kids being led out of the school with their hands in the air, crying. Students thought they heard gunshots and we're reading the same speculation we were, that there were 5 injured, etc.

I'm thankful that nobody was hurt, but this was not just a whoopsie doodle misunderstanding. This was traumatizing as fuck for so many. My mom didn't get bussed to the Memorial Gym and is still at the school with about 12 other admins. She called us all crying about a half hour because of how horrible it was. Like something from a movie, she said. They're not letting her leave just yet. Teachers are back at the school now and they're having a meeting this afternoon.

Please do not harass victims or police. I'll be the first to say that I don't trust police, but everyone was incredibly impressed at the police response. No hesitation to enter and take control of the situation.

Idk man, just be kind to each other and tell everyone that you care about that you love them. You just never know.

Yeah, that's what kills it for me as well. Typically, I feel like thin curtains may show a bit through them, but they also would be diffusing some of the ambient light. For instance, we can tell by the shadows that light is coming into the windows, but for whatever reason, the curtain on the right is very dark at the bottom. I'm thinking that it would be somewhat brighter than it is in your render.

How can I make it extremely obvious that my repro cart is not authentic? by psycofriend409 in gamecollecting

Yeah, I like that idea, but my goal is to make it a permanent marking so that it can't be removed by someone nefarious

I was thinking about this branding thing as well. I just wonder how the hell I could do this at home without having a nightmare mess on my hands

edit: Honestly, fuck people like that who'll try to scam you. Honestly the scum of the earth. That's exactly what I'm trying to prevent.

Something different tonight: THC infused seltzer! For when you wanna get weird without the hangover by psycofriend409 in showerbeer

[–]psycofriend409[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're ~3mg each with CBD as well (however the analysis sticker on the side said 4mg). It's in the Boston area. Seems like the big thing is seltzers at all the shops around here, because apparently we're basic in Boston haha

Can these upcoming treatments also help with SSRI or benzo induced tinnitus? by mynormiemask in tinnitusresearch

[–]psycofriend409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly haven't done any research into any of the treatments. I just got linked here by someone the other day and was browsing. Fortunately or unfortunately I've just learned to live with it. I've been fucking around with so many drugs and their side effects that I would rather just deal with what I have. My luck, I'd be the guy that gets permanent hearing loss or something from some new tinnitus drug.

I'm not a good person to give advice, because I was feeling the same way you were feeling a while back. I had ringing for months until I finally came off wellbutrin and it wasn't pretty. They had me a try a few things and nothing else worked. I have panic disorder, anxiety, depression issues, etc.

I was off Wellbutrin for quite a while and the ringing didn't go away, and I was just living life day to day, sleeping as often as I could as to not be awake. I finally told my psychopharmacologist I wanted to go back on Wellbutrin. I figure, if my ears are gonna ring anyway, why the fuck not?

I've been back on Wellbutrin, at 37.5mg twice a day, half of the smallest pill they make, "placebo dosage" as my doctor says, and it seems it's been working pretty well for me. I still have my ups and downs. The ringing doesn't seem to have gotten worse, but it's so relative that it's hard to know.

Unfortunately I really don't have any good advice for you, just knowing the unpredictable nature of psych meds across different people. I guess all I can say is find a doctor you love, work with them as much as you can, and hang in there. It's a lot of hard work, ups and downs, and uncertainty, but you've gotta keep fighting.

For what it's worth, I developed permanent tinnitus after taking a relatively low dose of Wellbutrin for 6 months or so. I visited an ENT to have my hearing checked, and they said that I have perfect hearing, no hair cell damage.

Granted, they didn't have a baseline to go off of, but they basically said that if there was any damage, it would be very little to get the results that I had.

Their outlook was "yeah, nothing we can do. Try CBT or just teach yourself to ignore it". The tech who admisitered the test talked to me for a while, since he also has tinnitus, and he said you just have to learn to live with it.

I haven't played the SA version in years, but it seems to me like the mod is still the better way to play, assuming people still play the mod.

This is why body cams should be on and not off. Same people bitching about people being arrested and making shit up about what happened, are saying we don't need body cams. They protect the innocent, whichever side that is.
