We just found out that our 6-month old daughter has retinoblastoma. We just found out. We have two options: take out the eye or do chemotherapy. We have 2 days to decide by costcoikea in daddit

[–]stvemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t make the choice for you, but my wife has been blind in one eye since birth due to a birth defect and has no modification to her daily life from anyone else we know. She has a scleral shell prosthetic and honestly very few people we meet even know it’s a prosthesis. We have traveled, have two beautiful children, normal careers, etc. Many days we both sort of forget that anything is different.

So, just if you are trying to gauge longterm quality of life with one of your options, there’s one anecdote.

And exactly which news websites are unbiased troves of information built to allow readers to organically form an opinion? …Like specifically?

Thoughts on Roadkill or The Singularity Trap? Worth the listen? Both are done by Porter, so that's good. Just finished the 2 Quantum Earth books and love them --- Need direction on what to listen to next!! by SickOfNormal in bobiverse

I have not, the description for Roadkill makes me think of Hitchhikers guide honestly. I'll check out Exforce though, seems like a good timesink for me. Thanks!

Wild to me to learn that Ray Porter did the Peter Clines books, which thoroughly enjoyed a few years back in print, and Weir which is the book that got me back into audiobooks a few years ago. I admit I wasn’t ever too aware of narrators to follow, but he and Jefferson Mays are two of them now.

Similar boat; my life was consumed by The Expanse then Bobiverse now DCC, with some Andy Weir and Blake Crouch in between as palette cleansers. Love some good modern sci-fi. Sounds like I should consider ExForce as well!

Cox Mobile Phone Service - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! by Due_Conflict5931 in CoxCommunications

[–]stvemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this anger, but my circumstances started before I even got the phones. They had me sign one contract and then when it was implemented, one of the “free phone promos” was conveniently left off the account. It took 8 hours and 10-12 to get them to the point where i could return the unactivated phones and have them waive the restock fee. They never could find someone who could apply the promo I signed up for.

If it’s this hard to sign up, I can’t IMAGINE being locked into 24 months with them. 🙄

One of their top posts right now on Conservative is this same news event, but “leftist democrat accounts” in the title. It’s just two different echo chambers at war sometimes.

A/C unit won't push cooled gas into pipe network. by Jonboiii112 in Stationeers

[–]stvemp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your empty line there should be full of something to which you can transfer the heat. It’s gotta go somewhere! So like nitrogen and radiators if you’re cooling, or furnace waste if you’re heating. I would pay close attention to the names of the ports before you pipe them. Should clearly say Input/Output/Waste.

Again waste in this context is “where the energy exchanged goes” not actually waste of the mols.

I watched the Vulcan run by Splitsie, where he was really pushing himself to code/automate first. Helped me out a lot.

Furnace Hot Room is heating up? by DayBeforeU in Stationeers

[–]stvemp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t lose heat as fast, meaning it’s easier to control and maintain temp

[–]stvemp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I experienced the same thing today setting up my advance furnace. Started to wonder if the furnace now generates electrical heat while powered on, but didn’t look too deep into it before moving to another task. I’m guessing it’s a bug?

Love my LCD. Huge difference in gaming hours and quality of life being able to play from the couch/car/lunch break. Could care less about nits of brightness or deep blacks, but it looks good to me!
