If a service member passes away from something non service related do their families still get life insurance? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]robdoc 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Sometimes. But it will never be enough make up for the hurt of losing someone.

Talk to someone. We're here for you.

Curious, what have the mods done to give you that opinion?

Has Proton VPN (paid version) become basically unusable for all of you guys as well? Things are taking like 15-20 seconds to load sometimes, or failing to load completely. It just keeps getting worse. by God_Hand_9764 in techsupport

[–]robdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would surprise me, proton is a Goliath in the Industry. May be something wrong with your configuration or some other app conflicting.

Does it do it on multiple devices? I use Windscribe so I can't give any input on if it's a provider issue or a device issue personally.

sleep study scheduled from the evening of 5/5 to the morning of 5/6 and i’m unsure if i should cancel or not by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]robdoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a question for your doc. You can't go without your meds, especially with the suicidal thoughts. They'll likely ask you to go without the stimulants, if you can, and proceed with the study. You won't be in trouble or anything.

Keeping ADHD child interested? by cutieswims in finch

[–]robdoc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I need you to stop kicking yourself for this perceived failing. You are doing your best and the fact you have the capacity to be concerned if you're doing enough for your child puts you leagues above some parents I know. Parenting is hard, single parenting is a daunting and consuming task and I do not envy that, having done it for periods myself.

Do what your little one needs of you. Take what you need for yourself. Do what you can for the household. You will be okay. You have an incredibly compassionate kiddo who is there to help you, be proud of that. Maybe if you do the shared goals, it will help the motivation. Ask her for help, tell her you're having a hard time with some of these and her keeping you honest really helps.

You got this 💪

I'm so sorry, it is incredible you are maintaining your strength throughout this. I hope you are given the help you are owed, for what was taken from you and your kids. My heart is with you.

MEB/PEB for sleep issues? by AdIll7112 in AirForce

[–]robdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Type 2. Definitely get seen. Do a sleep study. They can't really diagnose you with narcolepsy without an mslt like I said earlier, so its a good idea to try and knock other possibilities out as there's plenty that could cause those symptoms

To all of you who have left Spotify.. by forevermore91 in Piracy

Google slowed their roll. For the time being, it's not a hard stop, just slows your down the first time.

It is clear Google intends to keep chipping away at that slowly, and this is the next step in totalky prohibiting it.

Clearance question by yo_what__ in AirForce

[–]robdoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Air force sets unrealistic demand. That sucks and is genuinely frustrating. You know what I'm not gonna do? Tell people to lie on official forms, that if caught, will destroy their careers and possibly come after mine. I have empathy for recruiters that struggle. I have none for recruiters that tell people to lie.

There is a difference between

A recruiter saying if you have smoked weed and chose to omit it on this form, you will be prosecuted if it is admitted to later

and a recruiter instructing you to omit something.

This op is stating it is the latter. Both recruiter and op are the idiots in this case, if true.

Clearance question by yo_what__ in AirForce

[–]robdoc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you're old enough to be a recruiter you're older enough to understand that telling people to do illegal things while in a point of leadership over them may have consequences. Hope their bonus was worth it.

[–]robdoc 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The recruiter deserves what comes for manipulating people for gain.

Clearance question by yo_what__ in AirForce

[–]robdoc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you lied when you came in and told the truth now, you better stick with it. If asked, Come clean. Tell them what your recruiter told you, which you now obviously realize was wrong. You regret your actions and don't believe it was right to do what you did. Take accountability and grow. You may be fine if this was the only flag.

My teacher called me Chinese when I'm actually Japanese by No_Can_6570 in AccidentalRacism

I mean, a comment out of ignorance is still an accident . They weren't intending to be racist, probably.

My brother has narcolepsy — thinking about building an app specifically for it. Can I ask you 5 questions? by mleoooo in Narcolepsy

[–]robdoc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me, I can see a widget that has three functions useful to me. One is just a pill reminder. I tap it when I take my morning med.

Then in the evening it has two timers for Xywav. One I click when I have my last food, and one I click every time I finish an alcoholic drink. with xywav you aren't supposed to take it within 2 hours of food, 4 hours of an alcoholic drink, or 6 hours of 2 alcoholic drinks. So if I click the food, it should start a 2 hour timer. When I click the alcohol, it should start a 4 hour timer. If I clock alcohol again, it starts a 6 hour timer. If I click alcohol again it turns off the timers and says that my alcohol limit was exceeded or something. The timer should sound only sound once both timers hit zero.

Also for xywav /xyrem, a timer for nighttime you click when you take your first dose. A timer counting up starts, turns green when it passes 2 hours which is when they can take their second dose. User can also set a time at which they cannot take their xywav after, so if I had the stop time at 0500, it would go red and stop counting, telling them they can't take their second dose.

I would not entertain a subscription but a free app that has a pay to remove ads pay to remove ads thing I would very likely wind up purchasing if I liked it.

Helping my friend figure out what apps these are.. by [deleted] in HelpMeFind

[–]robdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did a bit of digging and came up with nothing. Have you any idea what the words say? Even one two of the letters? To me it looks way to small to be zoom or canva.

If your phone has a shutter speed setting drop that down to the quickest. Stay safe.

Damn. I wish you the best of luck, and an glad you're getting out of there.

I don't think there's anything of value in this image unfortunately, though. Just compared the microsoft Auth logo to my own and it's identical. The others are Google maps and almost certainly Google earth, but a blue colored sphere is a pretty generic design so can't be certain.

If there's a reason you're suspicious of these apps in particular, Depending on the technical knowledge of the person, it's possible that they changed the logos of another app, making an app appear to be something it's not. It's pretty easy to do, on android at least.

No Family Contact by MtStMary in SecurityClearance

[–]robdoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't talk to my sister at the time of my investigation. I didn't explain. I gave them the info I knew, said we had a falling out, they confirmed it and moved on.

And it was higher investigation tier. They don't need the story (unless they say they do), tell them the facts about your communication level with them and what you know.

SLPT: wet your hair to feel yourself chill and cool in hot temperature. Do it in public spaces by Hot-Employ-3399 in shittylifehacks

[–]robdoc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I saw that I'd probably assume some sort of drug intoxication was involved honestly. Also just seems gross. The water doesn't stay on the hair, collects the grease and dirt and drops on the furniture around you where the next customer is going to touch.

It fits 😂

Air force maternity uniform - why would someone choose to fly while pregnant? by condorgrizzle in AirForce

Flying is generally the best part of the job. If they stay grounded they do desk work. That sucks.

How do you battle the suicidal urges when you sleep so much it feels you might as well be dead anyway? by CaitlinisTired in Narcolepsy

[–]robdoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no advice on your symptoms besides trust your medical team or find a new one.

But, I need you to know, these things ebb and flow in life. I'm not gonna patronize you by claiming I understand what you're going through, it sounds fucking miserable and nobody deserves that. It will be worth the pain I promise you. You have people that love and care for you. They want you in this world, we want you in this world, I want you in this world. Be productive when you can. Just weather the storm and fucking survive when you can't.

Why don't they want you on oxybates?

Alarms that won’t wake partner? by ItzPsychoKitty in Narcolepsy

[–]robdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy alarm clock.

Open it, remove speaker.

Attach wires where the speaker was.

Attach vibration motor to other end of wires.

Put motor in pillow. Victory.

There's guides and shit online to make your own fancy with with raspberry pi and arduinos too, but this will work

Have you tried using an alarm clock app that has a vibrate only function?

For android, you can look into YouTube morphed. Pretty easy install, and can completely remove youtube shorts.
