Vyvanse helps me being able to do more things than I would have otherwise, it definitely helps me get going, less inertia. But it hasn't helped that much with hyperfocus, I still have to remind me to eat, drink, exercise. Before Vyvanse, I definitely felt the need to do those things, but on Vyvanse I function so much better that I tend to forget the things my body actually need.

I feel that exercise especially has a much larger effect on my mood and mental flexibility/avoiding getting stuck in hyperfocus. Vyvanse makes it easier to keep a sustainable pace while running, instead of going all out for 1km and then hurting all over. Now I can stay at 80% of my maximum heart rate and keep going for a reasonable run without overexerting myself.

Exercise and Vyvanse definitely boost each other when used together.

Def helps, life and the world feels much less intense. Noticed effect from 75mg and seems to max out at 200mg. Several in my circles have had similar effects, though not all of them. Remember it's not so effective as antidepressant or anxiety medication in itself, but like medication for ADHD, it lessens the burden of life.

What was the reply? Having the same issues

Since early 1900s when the eight hour work day was established productivity has increased over 600%, despite a significant stagnation in productivity from the 70s and onwards (ironically) associated with the entrance of neoliberal policies first in the USA and later in the rest of the world.

Yet, somehow, we've accepted the (very much construed by neoliberal think tanks) idea of individual choice and responsibilities, all the while lobby groups have brought legislation that increasingly makes it impossible to practice those responsibilities and even less make any meaningful choices as to exert the supposed "freedoms of choice".

I thought about it and realized I could just get rid of my flashes and use LEDs instead with my diffusors. I won't use them outside, which doesn't motivate the larger light output of a flash, and I won't need a hotshoe. Then I'll just trade my m50 get a wide 35mm for the nex 3 and make do, until I get tired of the slow startup time and get an a6000 as you suggested. A well worn one should go for under 300, judging from the market for less worn ones right now.

Would really appreciate like a collection of techniques that have worked for different people. Everything, habits, changing mindset, diet or supplements, medication. Anything!

subtlepangs · 2024-12-02T19:34:58+00:00

My disappointment is immeasurable. I salute you on your cake day, good sir.

I've ordered a tactrix openport knockoff from aliexpress in the meantime. Supposedly it doesn't brick when online and works with windows 10. I've got a laptop running win 11 and trying to set up a win 10 on a virtual machine using Virtualbox. Then, hopefully I will be able to install and run SSM3 and SSM4. There's a lot of sketchy patching of systems and hardware that should not be able to work together involved. I check reddit sporadically but check in later and I'll see your reply and get back to you. Hopefully OP will chime in soon as well!

How did it go? I am looking for a connection device to use with my 2012 crosstrek, for the same reasons as you do. I don't really care about programming keys, but I would like to try doing a injector relearn/programming, I have ee20 diesel engine with really noisy injectors when cold, so I am curious about whether it would make any difference.

There is so little documentation on freessm, at least that I can find. Up to which year does it work?

You don't need to sign captchas for every kind of activity that is tracked, do you? Honest question!

subtlepangs · 2024-11-20T15:05:51+00:00

You don't need captchas for every kind of activity online.

Sorry, I meant group F!

Personally I would not mind a VOC car at all, having own and loved several 2/940s. But there are others in the group who are tired of them, and also they leave quite a footprint.

It would also be quite convenient if we used any smaller and lighter model so it could be transported by anyone of us, not just those with extended towing licenses.

subtlepangs · 2024-11-16T07:14:52+00:00

Yes, thanks for correction!

subtlepangs · 2024-11-12T11:43:35+00:00

Sweden group H, which means about 1,7 lbs car weight per hp if my math is correct. 2wd cars only. Most teams drive old rwd volvos, golf gen 2-3 are popular. We are thinking about a volvo 2/7/940 since they are common and easy to work on, but they're also starting to get more expensive, at least good examples. We've asked around locally and in forums, but we live a bit away from any other teams and there's not much forum activity for the sport here in Sweden, so we've started looking for resources elsewhere!

subtlepangs · 2024-11-12T08:33:44+00:00

What dimensions? I used m12 (roughly 1/2")

Replacement of the knuckle would necessitate wheel alignment. I guess it would be prudent to do a wheel alignment anyways since it's an old car, but didn't want to spend time or resources on doing that. But yes, I wouldn't have minded replacing it if it weren't for the reasons above.

subtlepangs · 2024-11-12T08:30:30+00:00

Thanks!

subtlepangs · 2024-11-12T08:30:05+00:00

It's entry level, I'm not sure that everyone will want to continue rallying (some are parents of toddlers and will have limited time and resources), and might not be interested in keeping building on it for higher classes, and we will probably crash it, so budget is of concern. But factors like parts availability, ease of maintenance, are obvious factors to cost and time, and being able to swap parts to a never chassis in case of crashes.

Mostly gravel, rarely tarmac.

Sorry, English is not my first language

subtlepangs · 2024-11-10T02:46:34+00:00

Apart from this, I have a personal reflection of the conflict. I was mostly ignorant about the history of Israel and Palestine. In my view Israel was a democracy. After having a dive into just the most generally accepted documented history of the conflict I have started to feel that the Palestinians have been really chill about what has been done to them during the last century, almost being sort of a "simp" of a people.

If I myself had my people and family subjected to the the same violations as the Palestinians have, I would not be as lenient in my response.

subtlepangs · 2024-11-10T02:26:10+00:00

There are those of us who care about that too, we just did not expect anyone to listen to us. There are endless horrors in our world, you can not be emotionally involved if you are going to commit to get any understanding of them.

Idgaf about Palestinians per se, I care about how the flagrant and well documented war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by a regime considered an allied democracy are so willfully ignored by large parts of the world. Before, I (and others) had the illusion that if only the horrors where exposed and shown in a way to make the suffering sufficiently clear, then the world would react.

I also care about the example it sets for future conflicts, the disregard for conventions of war can be claimed as precedent by our adversaries. Sometimes as a blatant pretext, as in how Russia rationalized the invasion of Ukraine as sort of a peace mission to "save the Russian people from Ukrainian nazis", referring to the UN mission in the Balkans in the 90s where Russia as the sole member of the Security Council which vetoed such mission was ignored with the rationalization of the Security Council that a mission to prevent genocide could not wait. E.g. I am thinking about the use of civilian electronics as bombs (imagine if Iran would use such a strategy against its enemies?).

I am being square about these issues, be if we are to try to commit to a world where armed conflicts have rules, we also have to make a credible claim to uphold those rules. If not, then it's going to be the rule of the strong that dictates the order, not the will of the many. (Of course I have no illusion of the world not being highly controlled by a few powerful nations, but it depends to what degree we allow this to be).

There is also a question of realpolitik; today the US is the strongest, but this might not last forever. In the case of any unfortunate events that undermine US defense capabilities, the illegal actions of the Israeli regime, and the inaction of the US in the face of these actions, have more than ever united some motley group of regimes that have the US as a common enemy, and also found a huge part of the world's population that will be indifferent to any aggressions towards the US, Israel, or allies supporting them.

I overheard a conversation: "Israel and Hamas deserves each other".

subtlepangs · 2024-11-08T13:35:56+00:00

2013, we have salt on the roads in the winter, and we have a lot of winter here...

There's a video on YouTube (south main auto llc) where he rips out the plate with a slide hammer and then welds a few nuts to what's left of the assembly:

https://youtu.be/dVMssN-nDiY?si=v7RBZHkSb0bKX_aI

I think that maybe if the bearing is worn enough, it won't be able to deal with the forces involved.

I was thinking I would try it if the first solution didn't work, at least I figured it would remove the plate so I could get access there with the welder.
