  • I have occasional episodes of low blood sugar which cause bradycardia. I don’t know if it’s quite the same for others but for me it’s basically as follows

    My body goes into panic mode and I’m borderline dizzy and having a rough time trying to focus on anything

    Trying to sit down to do breathing exercises or staring at the phone makes the thoughts race while not being able to latch on to any specific thought in particular

    This can last up to 2 hours at times

    Takes a while before I manage to put 2 and 2 together and balance my sugar (which in short order gets rid of the bradycardia after about 15 minutes)

    No. Mil-spec is an actual certified standard

    Military grade is basically just “we made this shit to look like it’d be good as a prop in a movie” no actual standards, just good enough to sorta kinda sometimes work and is made as cheap as possible.

    Edit; interesting comment by the other fella in the same reply chain, maybe “military grade” also encompasses stuff that’s made for specific purposes but doesn’t need to withstand rigorous standards, just be good enough for this one thing this one time and not much else

    Granted, YMMV depending on country and region.









  • I can see where you’re potentially coming from.

    But I don’t think you comprehend how violent an act of suicide is in almost all cases.

    It takes an insane level of commitment to go through with that the first time, more so for the subsequent attempts.

    Also of the people who really aim to end it, succeed on the first try.

    I don’t know about you, but if given the choice, I probably wouldn’t be here. There’s nothing particularly wrong with me physically, I just don’t want to be here.

    Been the case over a decade ago. Pretty much back as long as I can remember. Still the case today.

    I do agree with the point that a humane way out will probably have a net positive impact in almost all cases. Especially if it comes with “here’s a list of things you should consider doing to lessen the impact on your family and significant other” or something of the sort. Needless to say, but should be entirely optional.

    I don’t think I agree with the “other treatments” mentality though. That just sounds like what the Americans are doing with their abortion clinics trying to emotionally blackmail people into not aborting their child by forcing you to listen to heartbeats and look at ultrasounds.









  • I still remember playing StarCraft 2 shortly after release on a 300$ laptop and it running perfectly well on medium settings.

    Looked amazing. Felt incredibly responsive. Polished. Optimized.

    Nowadays it’s RTX this, framegen that, need SSD or loading times are abysmal, oh and don’t forget that you need 40gb of storage and 32gb of ram for a 3 hour long walking simulator, how about you optimize your goddamn game instead? Don’t even get me started on price tags for these things.

    Software and game development is definitely a spectrum though, but holy shit is the ratio of sloppy releases so disproportionate that it’s hard to see it at times.
