High school was a complete waste of time. I dropped out 3 weeks after I was legally able to. I fucked around for 2 years until I could get my GED. I took the GED tests in a day more than a year before I would have been able to graduate.
I dropped out of various colleges for a bunch of reasons. The first was my company expanding and not leaving enough time for homework. The last was the Devry's completely false statements about their students being recruited to FAANG companies.
·6 months agoOriginally, I was too poor to afford software. Then my CD/dvd books were stolen and I couldn't afford to replace the media I'd been collecting my entire life. I bought an external drive, an s-video to RF modulator, a Bluetooth keyboard and connected my computer to channel 3.
Eventually Pandora and Netflix were released and I stopped pirating. I spent most of a decade buying all of my media. Then I tried to buy a complete set of Good Eats and it wasn't possible.
There was literally no way to purchase every episode legally. So I took the $500 I was going to spend on that box set and put it towards an ebay'd server and some drives.
By the time the streaming wars started to gain steam, I had everything automated, and was pushing 50TB of storage.

That is really interesting. Thank you. I hadn't seen that chart.
It hadn't ever occurred to me to look for pirated patterns :D Here are some sites with a ton of free patterns.

Z-Library also has a ton of stuff.
Everyone always says tramadol is shit. I've been on 150mg/day for 3 years with no tolerance increase. It sucks when the pharmacy fucks something up and I'm out for a couple of days, but it's not nearly as bad as missing a dose of gabapentin was.
Ahh yes, the old "I can't get an erection unless I make my serfs' life miserable" policy adjustment.
I didn't realize there was a patreon, I made a Ko-fi account just for this.
Man, I didn't realize there were only 22 people supporting you monthly.
·10 months agoOne of the things that drives me crazy about fibromyalgia research is that every tested treatment seems to "help" 60% of people. CBT, acupuncture, stretching, going for a walk/run, and gabapentin all have studies saying they work for 60%. It really makes me question if 60% of people diagnosed with fibromyalgia have something completely different than the fibromyalgia I have.
It really is reddit :D
Paid. I'm in the process of moving, once I'm settled, I'll throw some GPU at your other project.
Yeah. Fibromyalgia is "you have pain, we don't think you're just drug seeking, we're not investigating any further."
