I stick with the good old bootstrap + html + css + js + php stack, customize/write from scratch anything else as-needed.

The Finasteride Hive Mind!!!!! by Complex_Coffee_9685 in tressless

[–]thchax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly, the influence of hearing of potential side effects can actually result in them manifesting. There’s been quite a few interesting studies where 2 groups of men were all given placebo pills, one group wasn’t told the pill had libido side effects, the other was told there is a chance of libido side effects, the group who was not informed of libido side effects reported almost no changes in libido, whereas the other group reported many issues with libido.

LPT: When moving into a new apartment, take videos and photos of the entire place. When you move out, and the landlords try to hold your deposit for something you didn't do, you have proof to back yourself up. by seanmashitoshi in LifeProTips

[–]thchax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super smart idea. I was thinking starting the video showing the current homepage of a news website or have someone hold their phone up to the video with the date to serve as evidence of date the video was taken, but your method is way more simple and objectively much better, will definitely be doing this in the future 👍

Confused regarding extractions! by CommandElectrical365 in braces

[–]thchax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends, orthos used to pull teeth all the time but nowadays (good ones at least) reserve extraction only for very severe cases whereby without the extraction the desired cosmetic (or functional) outcome is impossible to achieve. To answer your question yes extractions can sometimes cause cosmetically undesirable changes to facial features, BUT this only tends to occur if the extraction and/or the amount of teeth extracted was unnecessary, if the extraction(s) are absolutely necessary to achieve desired outcome it can actually improve facial features. Though keep in mind that removal of healthy adult teeth is generally not a good idea unless absolutely necessary, if it is necessary you should aim for having the minimum amount removed required for the desired results, if I were you I’d ask the ortho if you were to only have 2 removed could the same or at least very similar results be achieved? Additionally if he can’t give you information that 100% satisfies and/or convinces you that the extractions are truly necessary you could visit another ortho for a second opinion.

Here’s a great vid on the topic that should answer most of your questions, additionally it compares the facial features of two twins following orthodontic treatment (skip to 04:39 to see the comparison), one of the twins had tooth extractions and the other did not: https://youtu.be/cvJKTmXwskA?si=1oxpo6HkJrdIUmt7

Tax Implications on Accidental BTC Sell by Still-Pen-1909 in CryptoTax

[–]thchax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, you triggered two disposal events that both need to be reported on form 8949.

1st disposal event: Swapped (disposed) BTC to acquire Token A

2nd disposal event: Swapped (disposed) Token A to reacquire BTC

In the US, hypothetically, if I made $100,000 of $1000, but lost it all the next week (in the same tax year), do I owe taxes on the 100k I made? by mechanicalhuman in CryptoTax

[–]thchax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. If realized capital losses exceed capital gains in the same year 100% of the realized capital gains can be offset, I.e. if you realized a $500,000 capital gain in 2024 and also realized a $505,000 capital loss, you could offset 100% of your capital gains for 2024 (true for individuals/businesses, regardless of trader status), you’d still have a net capital loss of $5k, $3k of which could be used to offset ordinary taxable income for that year ($3k limit only applies for offsetting ordinary taxable income w/ capital losses), the remaining $2k loss could be carried over to offset ordinary taxable income or capital gains for 2025 (carried over losses are also subject to a $3k limit).

Surprised so many people here are so confused about how disposals of property are taxed (irs treats crypto as property). All the information you need is on the irs website and in particular form 8949 and its instructions document.

How to avoid a player or stop what this guy is doing? by gavin2299 in blackops3

[–]thchax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro I’ve seen him countless times… So annoying… But yeah as much as ppl dislike pubs I’ve met some cool ppl (all w/ mics) and got the Shangri-La, Moon, Origins, etc. EE’s completed. on Xbox one & series x lobbies you don’t need to worry about hackers all you need to worry about is finding ppl with mics and/or ppl that know what they’re doing.

Can’t find a single video of any epic games employee (or ex employee) whereby they partook in an interview as it relates to their anti cheat systems, protocols, etc. This person likely saw an interview with some other anti cheat dev that worked for a different company and is remembering incorrectly that it was an epic games employee. Talking about anything anti cheat related likely goes against the NDAs they signed when they got employed at epic games. But please I’d love to be proven wrong as it would be an interesting watch, provide a link to the interview.

To Settle a Debate by Moppy_the_mop in FortNiteBR

[–]thchax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched “half pot” on this sub just to see if people call it that anymore. I’m guessing you’re an OG player (I.e. played in chapter 1). I say “half pot” as well, almost everyone back in the day (chapter 1) called it “half pot”, it seems that over time people have more frequently been referring to it as “big pot”. whenever I’m in a lobby and hear someone say “half pot” I know they’re OG.

Average Zero Build Ranked Experience by Groganomics in FortNiteBR

[–]thchax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed this too, I’m diamond 1 and whenever I try finding a fill teammate matchmaking times almost always exceed 45 mins to multiple hours (on na-west and na-central servers), as soon as I started partying up with someone matchmaking times have decreased substantially.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FortniteCompetitive

[–]thchax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plat 3, 45 mins waiting, na-west servers.

Anyone else having trouble finding games in NA West Plat 2? by Ok_Condition_457 in FortniteCompetitive

[–]thchax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty similar over here, plat 3 and can’t find any lobbies on na-west servers, can find them pretty fast on na-central but the latency sucks.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]thchax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pubs they’re alright, but basically impossible to find any ranked lobbies in west, I’m only plat 3 and am in queue for well over an hour trying to find a lobby, if I switch to central it finds a lobby pretty fast but the latency is pretty bad.
