I've experienced this only once or twice in my life, thankfully. Probably under huge stress at the time, normally have pretty constant tinnitus.

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is so hard to combat at times - even if medication helps.

There was a QS tool that was in use by a council 20+ years back that cost about £15,000 per seat.

The serial dongle that they used - possibly hasp iirc - hadn't been implemented correctly, so ultimately where was a CMP EAX,1 / JNZ that was easy to NOP.

People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time

If you paid attention, you'd be worried too

You better pay attention

Or this world you love so much might just kill you

I remember walking into my mum's friends house when I was 7 or 8 and the friend's husband had one of these in his hands and he was typing something into the tv and then there was a noise and some lines on the screen and I WAS HOOKED.

So strange to think that where I come to work every day, that very machine was probably assembled about 10 metres away from where I sit now.

That's something very strange because I certainly would associate oats as a low GI food.

So is it polyphenols in the berries that reduce T1D incidence, or the pesticides found on fruits that cause it...

This is why I skip the password step altogether.

We do have a list of customer email addresses already linked to the information they can view - if they enter their email address and it's in the list they get a link that will log them in for 12 hours and can see their associated data. If their email address isn't registered they're told to speak with their sales rep.

This of course trusts that email accounts are the highest level of security a user has, which it should be because so much relies on it these days.

I had a convergence of a few things that caused a huge burnout - building work on my house, 18 month long software project implementation that eventually failed, and stress that comes from being a sole provider.

Ultimately I woke one day and couldn't talk, this went on for a couple of weeks. It wasn't until 4 to 6 weeks later that I could get out of bed. I just broke.

Discovered from this that I was autistic and had an autistic burnout, but I've not been the same since, I'm better than I was but lesser than before.

The main pushback we get is from our floor planners who work offsite in customer's homes - that extra 2 minutes or so while it boots from scratch apparently seems like an eternity when you're in a dirty and hazardous environment.

We've had a have a few issues related to the move to modern sleep - in that "shutdown" is now hibernate (with fast boot enabled) - so any issues that would be fixed with a restart remain.

With some machines, the modern sleep where it stays connected to the network can sometimes cause connection issues that aren't as obvious to the end user.

In a lot of cases we disable fast boot, and disable modern sleep and the problem goes away - but having the ability to select which parts should be enabled and disabled, like how you get the option with PS5's rest mode, would be very useful - especially if controllable by GPO / Intune.

I need to dig out one of my Boots C15 tapes for them, the tape of choice for ZX Spectrum "development"

Got confused with George Motz and thought this was some super burger making thing.

I said to my friend that it was quite tricky due to all the possibilities and the response I got was interesting as I'd forgotten to mute the mic. Very interesting to see where this goes, but I'd need a bit of hand holding and golden arrow pointing.

Also would be nice if we could change the voice.

Pretty sure it's just anti-scots propaganda: "ooh, don't go up there, you'll get eaten by the natives" is a story as old as exploring.

Side note: Propaganda is what a Yorkshireman does if he sees an accident.

A few of my friends have had this experience - I think there are a couple of groups at play here, basically "old online dating pros" and "unjaded newbies" and I don't mean either title as disparaging.

When I've met an unjaded newbie we've had a great conversation, we've met for a date easily with no hassle and in one case it's worked out for a decent period of time, and in most if it doesn't we part with good communications. I've even become close friends with a couple of women I've met this way.

The old pros are people you constantly see on the apps, they're flaky and jaded and addicted to the swipe/match/chat/move on paradigm.

Dating apps are akin to being in dante's pergatory.

In my area a lot of women wouldn't respond either unless you had pushed the button that increases the match time, so it was match - wait for response - at 1 hour if you were really wanting to match extend match 24 hours, which then locks you in because you can only extend once per day, and then wait for response.

Sort of understandable because the stereotype goes that most men will right swipe on all and then filter upon match whereas women will filter before swipe.

Best description I heard of online dating is that women are dehydrated in the middle of the ocean and men are dehydrated in the desert.

I'm diagnosed with both and I like using the term. I find it much more palatable than "neurospicy"

I've been using tirzepatide since the end of february, since then I've lost 52lbs in about 25 weeks, if my fat skin was stretched and it's since relaxed at a rate of 2lbs per week then maybe right now it is like an old rubber band that's been unstretched, but in a few months time once the rate of loss reduces it will be ok. I'm almost 50 so tbh I expected it to be much worse, I've virtually no loose skin compared to the 6 inches I've lost around my waist.

some older asio hardware would have a hard time running I suspect, but if it's just so you can load up an old file and export then it may work!

Reminds me of finding a portapotty and using it to tumble down a hill, or visiting the local quarry when I was 8 and playing around near huge deep pools of strangely coloured liquids. Mid 80s were like the wild wild west.

ABA is based on the same underlying research that gay conversion therapy uses.

I tried everything over the years - stopping smoking, removing amalgam fillings etc etc.

Reducing sugar has really helped me, although I take propranolol daily and have rizatriptan to hand if need be.

Used to get chronic paroxysmal hemicrania too - ended up having emergency surgery on an impacted wisdom tooth, ended up in ICU for 4 days but haven't had one of those headaches since.

Definitely always believed I have some trigeminal nerve deformity.

There was a post on here recently to a blog that had a multi player cursor, so you could see other user's cursor positions and type wee notes - wish I'd taken note of it because there was a photography exhibition in the V&A where 12 hours of footage of London had been commented over in a similar way, and they were replaying it - "this guy will trip soon" and "she's texting the guy over there and he's said no"

I've just recently started making sauerkraut and I'm amazed at how good it tastes.

Reducing carbs has really helped with my migraines too.

I tried quite a few different devices and the loop quiet seem to work really well for me. Strange because their experience plus didn't, although I've not tried their v2.

I have issues with auditory processing disorder which means my hearing is actually really good, but someone talking to me seems to get a much lower decode priority than some random noise around me - if I can see the lips, even though I can't lipread, it helps me decode the speech with a much greater accuracy.

Every time I looked into this, it seemed to push the link with autism and/or adhd - back in 2008 I wasn't diagnosed so I poo-pooed the idea somewhat. Now I'm diagnosed as AuDHD.

There was a game on Shakin' Stevens' album where you had to hide from bats and open green doors, and even the prawn cracker like snack Skips had a game, colin the biker. Mad times.

Thanks for the Beowulf link!
