When I was a kid, my grandma would send me to a nearby farm to get raw milk. It was then brought to a boil at home, the top skimmed, for making pastries, and then consumed. It was way better tasting than store bought, but it was boiled.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if their horns made a quaking sound?

I once tried to make avocado toast and all managed to do was gunk up my toaster. Good riddance.

SMART, not S.M.A.R.T.

Of course not. Use this wherever you see fit.

There you go.

I'm learning things from my journey. One is that a support network is very good. I'm lucky in that regard. OTOH, I'm slowly learning that even though desirable, it's not on others to deal with my problems. If they do I'm grateful, but I must accept that my condition is mine. Also, I've become very self conscious about my mood changes, much smaller and quite manageable, and can often mitigate the effects.

I had an alcohol problem, the old "self-medication thing", and found SMART Recovery, a science based peer support organization. They help learn very practical emotional regulation and coping strategies, a sort of DIY cognitive behavioral toolkit. That has proved immensely useful.

Being a cargo plane, maybe there was a cargo shift. There was a famous 747 crash due to this

My mother, who knows and supports my medication, and understands the swings, Is always telling me about this vitamin, or that herb, and often advocates walks in nature. Before diagnosis and medication, when I was in the lows, she would try to help with some of these, especially the nature walks. I would tell her that sure, it was proven it helps, but I'f I havent managed to get in the shower for a week, do you expect me to go hiking?

She was supportive and well meaning, and I appreciate the effort, but yeah fuck many of these.

Well, when I was untreated I definitely made my ex-wife's life worse. She called the it "The Jeckill and Hyde" and she wasn't all that wrong.

Are you properly medicated?

The strictly physical part: Imagine that sneeze that just doesn't want to come out, almost there, almost, almost... and the BAAAM! Or when you are constipated, and you try to evacuate, and sit on the throne for half an hour and suddenly WHAM!! you are two pounds lighter. Multiply by 100

I'm in the middle of diagnosis. I do have Bipolar and have been medicated for 4 years or so. My shrink and I suspect that ADHD is there. It seems to be a common comorbidity. I was self-medicating with alcohol, until I got to a very bad place.

Both bipolar and ADHD have a frightening percentage of substance abuse, often as a form of self medication.

I went to the shrink around the time when I got sober. Quitting drinking and meds literally saved my life.

BTW, I got sober thanks to SMART Recovery. SMART is science based and behavior oriented, so even if you don't have an addiction problem (substances and/or behaviors), You can learn a lot of stuff applicable to behavioral problems. Much of the program is based on Cognitive Behavioral therapies, no higher power required. Confidential. Free.

This article is BS. All undocumented are busy stealing and raping. No immigrant comes to the US to work

Boeing?

While I personally prefer this, I'm going to guess that the majority of people are generally not going to be using more than 2 or three usb ports at once. My take is that for most people, 2 Cs, an A, DP or HDMI would be optimal.

The availability of BT and wifi peripherals make this acceptable for many.

I still have a cutting plotter that uses RS232, but that's connected to an oldish desktop, on the network, so a laptop never gets connected physically.

I'm not saying that this is good, simply that this is probably acceptable for many.

Oh, enough with the Catalonian myths and BS, FFS!

(I'm part Catalonian)

Bullshit. Spanish bottled water is spring water, not filtered water. It is not oily, period. Give us lab data, proof. All bottled water must pass testing by independent labs. Water in coastal areas is often not great tasting, but 100% safe. This is because many networks are centuries old, and can have infiltration from seawater, but it's all 100% human safe. You'll find a ton of areas in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands where tap water doesn't taste great. Water in Madrid, and other non coastal areas, for example is so good, it's often said it could be bottled and sold.

As for treatment, it's properly treated, it's not like in the US where you can get amoeba from tap water, or have flammable tap water!

A megafuckhuge IT corp who deals in data doesn't have backups, right, RIGHT???

Tariffs make companies able to compete better within the walled garden, but weakens their competitiveness worldwide. It creates a race to the bottom inside the garden, but makes them weak outside the border. They also makes prices increasefor the local buyers. Costs get passed along, it's not as if manufacturers are going to absorb increases, they don't need to. GM, Ford, Chrysler are all going to pass them on (as any domestic manufacturer)

If anyone wants more info, feel free to ask. Tons of online/in person meetings, free resources and stuff. Also, there is a 24/7 recovery Discord server (not SMART exclusive, but with a lot of SMART activity, non-official, ) with a ton of nice people, which also has 12 step rooms, if that's your thing.
