I hate Comcast/Xfinity with such a passion I tell myself if I had the same hatred for a person I'd be in jail for murder.

Not only did they impose their "trial data caps" in my area and charge me out the ass for going over 2TB a month, I acceded once to being upsold and was told it was completely reversible within a month. After realizing the sales shithead lied to me about the features, I called to revert. Guess what? They couldn't. It wasn't something they could do. Fortunately I recorded all my calls, but even with that it took me more than 30 hours of phone and chat time to get it fixed, and the agent who finally helped me had to setup a recurring account credit to fix it. Absolutely horrid. She basically clarified, without saying it outright, that the sales shithead lied to my face because they're practically encouraged to.

Long story short my home purchase decision was influenced greatly by those shitheads not being in the area, and just seeing an ad makes me want to vandalize it. It's the only thing I hate with this much passion.

My first impression from the adhesion issue (which doesn't appear to be the main issue of this post) is that you may need to clean your build plate. But considering it was relatively good as it is, I assume you did and the few spots may just be accidental touches to the surface. In either case, their guide is here: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/filament-acc/acc/pei-plate-clean-guide

As for the extrusion issue - considering the apparent randomness of it my guess would be either an issue with the filament or a partial clog.

It means neither. It's a commonly used term when roleplaying post-apocalyptic scenarios to denote "before the apocalypse". So OPs scenario is survivors of an apocalypse lead to believe a Geiger Counter is a gold detector.

Edit: to clarify, the "fall" it's referring to is the fall of civilization

While there is some credence to "you can't truly learn to live another until you learn to love yourself", I think we king as you approach a relationship with the right mindset you don't have to love yourself / be happy. Right mindset being the operative word.

Anecdotal, but back when my depression was even worse I approached them as a "if I can't be happy I want to dump 110% of myself into the relationship to make my partner happy". It doesn't take alot to understand why that's such a bad approach. As long as you find someone who you can trust with your weaknesses and be trusted with theirs, maintain a open line of communication, and generally be comfortable around I don't see why not.

This reads like and hopefully is just rage bait.

The language used into the post itself has so many red flags. You "forbid" her, you had to get to get on the ground. And after having a PTSD episode over sexual assault, when you tried to touch her she yelled, which is reasonable for a victim of sexual assault, and you retaliated instead of giving space.

And if this is what you're willing to recount, I can only imagine what wasn't said may be even worse.

If this was genuinely just a very misguided attempt at helping overcome trauma, you should probably see a counselor and perhaps arrange a group session with whoever she has been seeing, if she's amicable to it.

Yup, with PIA the port is random but yes, there should be scripts out there to leverage PIAs forwarding with your torrent software. And yeah, if you were to port forward through your router that could lead to accidentally exposing your actual IP.

incompatible with port forwarding with any VPN

I'm not sure if there is a misunderstanding here, but port forwarding through a VPN is generally agnostic of most network setups. It's a tunnel, doesn't require your network to have port forwarding setup or even for it to be capable of it.

Straterra is what I found worked for me. It still needs to be prescribed.

[–] Zikeji@programming.dev 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I will point out that, in the US at least, an official diagnosis isn't required to get those meds. It's just a lot easier to be prescribed them with it. I'm not officially diagnosed but I do see a psychiatrist who was willing to try them with no prompting from me.

Ultimately though they didn't work out because of the impact on my blood pressure, I'm on non-scheduled ADHD meds now that have made a huge difference.

Wow it's been a while since I've seen this song. One of my favorites to listen to on trips.

[–] Zikeji@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

Because there are alot of ignorant people in the world afraid of what they perceive as different.

In your first two examples, regardless of not being politicians it's clear that by helping put politicians in power they benefit, so whether they genuinely care or not, it's just about money and lack of compassion to them. And continuing to drive class warfare continues to benefit them.

In your last example, I think that person is just in the ignorant and afraid of change category with an unfortunate amount of exposure.

Honestly one could probably make a comparison to a loan shark, you keep paying it off but the interest is so high and you keep borrowing more you just stay in debt and keep sinking deeper.
