Yeah Wellbutrin takes a *while* to kick in. It helped okay for me at first but then had diminishing effects, but Adderall monotherapy ended up working better in the end. I hope you can find a good treatment soon, it can feel like a fucking gauntlet.

Hell yeah, hope you recover swiftly! My sister, an indomitable person, went back to work the next day. I was out of commission for a week. ๐Ÿ˜…

An absolutely wild place where people are both discovering soap for the first time in their unacceptably long existence or have a love affair with bleach that rivals that of 90s hair stylists.

The demon stands next to Lucy with a hand on her arm. She sits with her elbows on her knees. The demon says, "Listen, I think you've been pushing too hard--you're going to make yourself sick at this rate." Lucy says, "I can't afford to slow down."

Lucy lies on her back, holding a tissue. The demon is sitting with its legs underneath her, holding a box of tissues and looking distinctly unimpressed. Lucy says, "Oh no I am sick." The demon says, "What a surprise." Lucy snaps back, "Quiet, you." The demon continues, "Who could have possibly foreseen this."

Tale as old as time.

Seems like some folks already gave some suggestions ๐Ÿ™‚ I personally never even attempted to recover dried paste.

Screenshot from "retrocatalog.com", showing its size comparison tool, which gives you the option of comparing the size of a handheld console against a variety of objects, including an egg, credit card, playing card, kerrygold butter, soda can, banana, and a size 7 basketball.

An incredibly useful feature with an absolutely unhinged list of objects.

We should have never legitimized gambling or outsourced our thinking.

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

If it were truly that bad, so enormously awful as if to doom the whole ecosystem, why hasn't there been significant effort on a viable alternative?

I feels very similar to launchd to me.

That's great! So with so much choice why these nerds still feral about systemd?

This is the kind of radical thinking we need, not just endless "ew systemd"

Also lmao at numpy. I never thought of it like that.

Both monsters who really should've been separate projects tbh.

It was both for me. I hate bash scripting. I find it inscrutable.

This is unhinged and I'm fascinated

Okay, that is fair and I've said elsewhere that I really wish they'd separated the init daemon from the rest, because the init daemon is great. Other parts of the project are great too, but yeah, everything being under one giant umbrella makes it harder to digest.

Ohhh boy a live one! What's the alternative?

Oof that sucks, but also I'd rather deal with that than the nightmare of init scripts that came before. Debugging those was awful.

I mean, there is though? There's still distros using init scripts. It's just more friction, which, like, yeah, that's Linux!

Oh? Other than systemctl and journalctl for reading logs, what else do you usually run into?
