That’s actually a really good idea. I’m not the person you replied to, but I’m taking notes.

Damn, I’m really sorry to hear that. I hope it will improve for you with time. For what it’s worth I understand symbalta can be combined with pregabalin/gabapentin. The combination may help. I’m getting by on gabapentin alone and it’s definitely not 100% with the tingles and pricks, but far better than not taking it. I’m contemplating asking to increase the dose.

Are you taking anything for the neuropathy? Are you experiencing any improvement over time? My neurologist seem to think that while recovery as such is not feasible, that at least modest improvements are possible through long term healing and medication. Granted, this sounds like a particularly bad case, and I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this.

Mine was found completely randomly - I went in for blood work because I was having stomach issues after returning from a trip and my GP wanted to rule out an infection. I was really surprised to learn it, because I wasn’t overweight nor did I have a family history! But it just happens sometimes, I guess. In retrospect - I was always very thirsty and had to pee much more than a normal human.

It’s been controlled for a while but unfortunately I now have some tingles in the feet, which developed a full year after I started medication and got everything under control. My neurologist believes it’s basically the delayed effects of the previously uncontrolled sugars. Fortunately, it’s been stable for several years since and seems to be every so slowly improving slightly.

I imagine I would have much worse neurological issues had I not discovered it until later.

That intersection could have used a … semaphore. 🙃

since OP appears to be one of Ze Germans, i’m going to take the charitable interpretation that they were probably not aware of the connotation

Reading this as a self hoster: god damn it, is there ANOTHER fucking instance I need to defederate?

If the performance and price is comparable to rolling your own mini-ITX rig then why not?

I think the “friendly” distros like Linux Mint with built-in driver detection/management and pretty broad package repositories (surfaced as an “App Store”) are probably to the point where many normal people could use them, without significantly more technical chops than Windows. Particularly as a gaming rig where you basically just need Firefox, LibreOffice and Steam.

That’s enough internet for me today

It’s largely an age gap I think. The first generation of FPS games on N64, PS1, etc used inverted controls, so if you’re an old man millennial like me, that’s how you learned to play.

Then in later generations (PS2/3 and on) this changed and inverted became an option, rather than the default (or in some games, only!).

Thus younger gamers are used to “standard” and older gamers used to inverted.

I’m an American living in the EU, and I’m surprised by that. All the other American immigrants I’ve met so far have been opposed to Trump and Republicans generally. I always figured the conservatives were likely to be buying into AmErIcA iS tHe BeSt propaganda and would thus be uninterested in moving to another country.

But think of the street cred!

I mean, you could approximate a phone with a lot of SBCs out there right now, if you stuck a screen onto it. A lot of them even have SIM modules. If somebody wanted to go full hacker you could probably 3D print a case for something like a Banana Pi, stick a cheap touchscreen OLED panel in there and Frankenstein up a battery. Would be a lot of work though and I’m sure getting all the shit working would be nontrivial.

Can’t delete a torrent. Just saying. Keep seeding, Lemmings!

yes, but mobile games now are literally casinos, with research going into making them as addictive as possible to maximise in app purchase and advertisement revenue

source: worked in ad tech for several years, specifically in the mobile gaming industry, monetisation/ad optimisation. a job I regret doing and which feels very scummy in retrospect.

ludicrous speed… GO!

The entire summary on Wikipedia is sales guy bullshit. It’s barely comprehensible.

Bruh you dropped this: ^synergize

What the fuck does Dynamics do? Is it some kind of shitty database?
