Personally I have been microdoseing anxiety for years. Sure, it's a bad solution but it is a "functioning" solution.

Good insights. I will need to spend some pondering how much of this applies to myself. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Not a professional, just another meat bag trying to figure his own stuff out. Good job on the introspection. Some times just seeing our own behavior can be difficult. Getting help from a professional is always a good plan. Until then, I would suggest continuing to be mindful of that you do this and make a focused effort to pay attention to the emotions your are feeling when you do these things. Other than that, what are the things you DO want to do? When you you try take these new actions, what are your emotions at these times?

P.S. Being more self aware is a skill. Don't be surprised if it your not very good at it to start.

• Planned Parenthood - Gave my wife quality routine medical care when were broke.
• Pfblocker - fuck ads
• Physics Girl - I gave hospice care to my Dad for a couple months. That was literally the hardest most painful experience of my life. I can't imagine surviving giving full time care to someone for years like her husband has. Me chipping in a couple bucks every month might help reduce money stress in a small way.
• Harris campaign - I would like Democracy to continue and the opposition seems directly against that happening.

Hey get your facts straight. They overclocked it intentionally but poorly. If they weren't already pushing it to the limit this probably wouldn't even be an issue.

Every CPU will wear out given enough time. Most of the time that is like 20+ years, so no one cares. The problem is that they where pushing things so hard the CPU was wearing out in 6 months. So all of these CPUs will likely have a reduced lifespans, but they may last long enough to get you to your next upgrade. If you are already seeing crashing issues, it is likely wore out already.

I have started to mentally replace "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" with "every hurt you heal makes you stronger". I am sorry you got hurt, I wish you the best on your journey to heal.

My experience is that it almost always does what I ask. The problem is that some times I don't ask it to do what I want it to do in the exact way it will understand.

At the very least it makes a good exercise in questioning facts to make sure you are not coming to faulty conclusions by misunderstanding.

Does this mean the visual center is 25% larger or that the configuration of cells is different? If it is larger where are are women's brains larger then men's brains?

Good opportunity to communicate. "I understand that you just want to support me, but the continued asking is stressing me out."

Remove the birthday aspect and think about what sounds enjoyable. Maybe you start with a night out with your SO. Ok, does adding more people sound better, about the same, worse?

I think you are mixing a party for other people and a party for yourself. Both are fine, but they may not be compatible with each other.

The best shot for that any time soon would be Qualcomm's ARM laptops. But it doesn't seem like they are prepared to deliver what is necessary to make that happen currently. I think they under estimated how much software/driver work was necessary to compete.

I have started a binder myself. The idea for the paper is real good. Thanks.

I managed to find a PDF for my vehicle. But I would much rather have a physical book.

I just wish I could but a fucking service manual. Seems like like the only way is to get access to a digital copy through a subscription service. I don't need service manuals for every car made, just mine.

What my setup will soon be for hardware: Gen 2 AMD epic 16 core CPU, Supermicro motherboard with lots of pcie slots, 128g ram, Intel arc a40 GPU, HBA card attached to a super micro disk shelf

Software: Proxmox for host is, Truenas Scale (just NAS) in VM with HBA card passed into VM, Plex in VM with Intel GPU passed in, 3 VMs for docker swarm (headless Debian)

Other thoughts: Cloud flare will only be helpful for things you want exposed to the internet. If you do that make sure you have a reverse proxy. This is how I expose services for non-tech family.

VPN will be more secure, but can also be more of a pain. I generally only do that for things only I need or only techy savvy people will use.

It may be more productive to layout an example of how you could make a better build with the same budget. Your critique may be accurate, but it doesn't really help them build a better system next time.

That is a feature not a bug. The alternative is people being in senior positions that want to do things "the way they were taught to do it" 30 years ago.
