As I was looking at it, I was thinking it could definitely be that based on the extreme cost of housing on the west coast even with a $15 min wage. Interesting and completely unsurprising graphic, thanks for creating it!

Is this federal minimum wage, or state minimum wage?

My squire shall require a Gatorade bottle such that they may urinate on the go!

I've got a pretty good hose shop in my town. I also know of one where I used to live. You could say I've got hose in different area codes.

Yeah they are, the shadows give it away.

Appreciate the background. That really sucks for the team working on Masks of Power, and I hope that your project doesn't suffer the same fate.

Don't have an answer for you unfortunately, but do you care to share more of this story about Lego burning Bionicle fans?

EXCEPT....for when your computer teammate jumps in front of you while you're shooting and accosts you for it, then a second later they literally mow down a bunch of infected by shooting through you with no consequences.

So I have to knock it down to a 9.9/10

Zelda: Link's Awakening on the GameBoy Color in the mid-90s. I got to the second temple, and was totally stuck - to progress I needed to learn to jump, which I inferred was in this temple, but I just couldn't figure out where it was.

Wandered all over the available map, which of course was constrained due to lacking the jump skill and other story-driven tools. Nothing.

Finally bought a game guide, which explained to me that I needed to bomb a wall in one room in the second temple to progress. It was indicated by a small crack, a staple in Zelda games but invisible to me in my first experience with the series.

The cherry on top was that by that point, I didn't have any bombs to break the wall, and I recall that I didn't have the ability to buy or acquire any and had to restart the game to progress past the point where I was stuck.

After that point, Zelda: Links Awakening became one of my favorite games of my childhood. It is hilarious how much frustration it caused me before that realization.

You mean the LA Tintimes?

Gasp they just left Shadeur on the board!?

I highly doubt that...you give me like, I dunno, let's say 5 people, and a catapult, and I bet you I can hit a giraffe before it gets struck by lightning.

Even more confident if you give me a people-sized potato cannon.

 

Edit: switching to https://sky.rethinkdns.com/ worked, thanks for all the suggestions!

Hope this is the correct forum to ask this question.

I've recently switched to RethinkDNS and quite like it. I've run a PiHole on my home network for a while, and Rethink finally gives me the same functionality and customizability while away from my house.

When I'm at work at [REDACTED BIG CORPORATION] my Internet won't connect at all while on company wifi with Rethink active ("No Answer" response to all queries). I just turn DuckDuckGo app tracking protection on instead (also technically a VPN according to my phone), and the Internet works. CyberGhost VPN behaves the same as Rethink, so I'm unsure why DDG doesn't run into issues.

Does anyone know of a way to automatically swap between VPNs while on certain networks? I'm sure it is possible to do so with a GPS fence and SmartThings, but I don't want to give that app (or any for that matter) location permissions.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this (I'm fine using apps outside of Google Play, as you can infer from my use of RethinkDNS and DDG in the first place), I'd love to hear them!

Cheers, Hank

 
 

Hi everyone! I was diagnosed a few years ago in my early 30s, and started taking Adderall along with some different drugs for anxiety as well.

With Adderall and then Wellbutrin, even in small dosages, I notice that my HRV Stress (recorded on a Garmin 945 Forerunner) is significantly elevated for the entire day. When I used to take a midday and evening dose of (instant release) Adderall, it severely impacted my sleep. I also tried extended release taken in the morning, and that caused sleeping issues as well. So did an extended release of Wellbutrin.

Basically, any benefits those medications provide (and it didn't really feel like it was helping) were offset by the bodily impact.

Has anyone had a similar experience with either of these medications? Any notable co-morbidities or changed metabolism or something that you identified as causing these symptoms? Did Ritalin or Strattera work for you when Adderall did not? I've been cycling through other non-stim medications with my provider, but haven't found anything that provides benefits for ADHD (I'm currently on guanfacine and zoloft, which mitigates my anxiety at least).
