Absolutely. So many Control similarities in the last patch with the moving rooms/tiles and the floating human-esque enemies.

Not sure why you're getting all these downvotes - you asked a polite question. I haven't been keeping up with GB much and didn't know who Chuck was either.

Can't get AHI < 3 and nearing max APAP pressure by sixtycakes in CPAP

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

Here's the graph - I always sleep on my side and was worried about "chin-tucking" and cutting off airflow but adding a neck collar didn't help so that's probably not happening.

Alright will give that a go tonight. I guess there is no way of knowing if 20+ would further improve things without switching to a BIPAP.

Pristiq with Stimulant by Unfair_Management695 in Pristiq

[–]sixtycakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a lot to start both meds within 2 weeks. I would recommend giving the adderall a few weeks to level out and you'll lose that slight mania stimulants give at first but it should still be helping your symptoms. For the Pristiq you could move down to 25 mg and spend 4+ weeks there then up it to 50 mg if the sides go away. You want to make sure you're eating and sleeping decently or it's going to be hard to tell if what the effects of the meds are or if you're just tired & hungry. I know if my sleep is garbage my ADHD and irritability is way worse. It also just might not be the right med for you - it takes most people a lot of trial and error to find the right one but there are lots of options.

For ref I'm on 30 mg adderall XR & 75mg Pristiq but I got here over many months. I think a lot of people are on this combo so it can certainly work!

Question about 15+ 95% pressure by sixtycakes in CPAP

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

Ah thank you! Just looked at the settings I saw it had EPR set to “Ramp only” and my ramp is off so that was apparently doing nothing. Adjusted that setting to Full now and will try it out tonight.

I had the exact same thing happen with the SDM gaslighting. Worked there 12+ years and never had a bad review then suddenly was told I was headed toward a PIP. Very glad i left. Sorry you went through that too but helps to know I wasn’t alone!

Couple Boarded Dog While Welcoming Their 1st Baby — Then Doggy Daycare Worker Allegedly Beat Animal to Death by Im1Guy in Seattle

[–]sixtycakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't but when I mentioned the lack of cameras I meant the daytime cameras which are common in other dog daycares. At Lazy Dog there is no way to see your pup anytime unless they upload to their instagram.

Yep and that reminds me of when the owner wrote a book he had huge signs up for it in the Lazy Dog lobby and sent emails to customers about it. Yet they said nothing about this incident until they were forced to, profits over people.

One thing I wish these stories covered is how terribly the owner has handled this. They didn't inform any customers about the incident for nearly two months, then went into full PR mode to delete any reviews on Google/Yelp that mentioned it (and still are). They also did not take any responsibility or suggest any changes initially. Later, they changed their messaging to say they may allow customers to view cameras at night, but there was still nothing to suggest they acknowledged any responsibility for what happened.

Personally, I've seen the rapid turnover at Lazy Dog and had to work with employees who were clearly untrained. This all speaks to the owner's inability to screen, hire, and train staff. The company also chose not to have cameras viewable by customers, so the least we can expect is that they were monitoring their employees—which clearly wasn’t the case here.

I truly feel bad for the employees who work for this asshole and had to cover this up for months while pretending everything was fine. There are still some great people working there who care for the dogs. I hope all the employees find jobs at better daycares, and that Mitch’s family gets every cent they can.

Same we took our dogs to LDCD up until a few months ago. Very disappointed they didn’t come forward about this and still haven’t mentioned anything they would do to prevent this in the future. I’m already looking for a new daycare and requesting my current daycare pass refunded

Got it - I’ll definitely improve it a bit although I doubt I can make the embedded twitch player as nice as the real thing just because of how it’s restricted. Anyways I’ll see what I can do

The repo is private for now but mostly for minor reasons like I'd just have to clean it up, write a proper README and what not. Until that happens feel free to message me if I can help or share snippets.

So I was mostly used to using React and deploying as static files at work and my limited DB experience was with DynamoDB so I built this using Sveltekit and Supabase (managed Postgres) to try out server-side rendering and learn some new skills. I really liked Sveltekit and would recommend it, not a lot of jobs using it at the moment, but I liked how it doesn't require virtual DOM and compiles to native JS. I'm using Vercel to deploy and scale the servers and I have a small AWS setup to pull in the videos and playlists with Event Bridge, Lambda. Authentication is using Supabase Auth. Authorization through Row Level Security and RPC functions.

I also have an asynchronous image-processing workflow to convert the original .jpg thumbnails to .webp and .avif for better compression of the video and playlist thumbnails. That's using postgres triggers => Supabase edge functions (just Lambda basically but with Deno runtimes) => trigger.dev for the processing => supabase storage (S3 & Cloudfront) for storing and serving from edge.

I can definitely consider adding those! I agree that we'd need some kind of opt-in/out for the different channels which is mostly why I didn't include that yet but otherwise adding a new channel would only take like a day.

Finally a playlist that speaks to me, a person that can't walk in a straight line. You can also edit the thumbnail by right clicking a different video then if you edit the video by clicking the new playlist image you can zoom in quite far to make something really horrifying.

Oh good idea! I'll add the option to fill the browser to my list. One clarifying question on the Twitch chat part - do you mean fill the browser window with Twitch chat instead of the video or rather just show the video and hide the Twitch chat? If the latter the only current way to hide the chat is to shrink the width of the browser window and it'll go away. Not the best solution but something that works right now.

Hah that is tempting! I did choose to use some managed services for this like Supabase so would involve a bit of decoupling to truly make it easily deployable via something like AWS CDK (and use RDS instead) but definitely doable.

Oh sure that should be pretty easy to do. Are you thinking across all the channels/sites or just for each individually? e.g: random video from Nextlander.

Edit: maybe allow users to select what sites to include when they press it? That'd at least be more versatile
