2023.05.29 14:38 Queajy Is it possible to develop gastroenteritis from Keppra?
I was on keppra 500mg twice a day since 2019, I had a great time with although it may have played with my mood sometimes but all was great. In May 2022 the doctor lowered my dosage to Keppra 250mg twice a day, and since August last year I started having problems with my stomach, I had a stomach flu then on December I had a stomach issue that developed to H-pylori and made me spend a week in the hospital.
I’ve never had any issues with my stomach while on the yellow tablets (500mg) and recently since February I lowered my dosage to 250mg a day and my stomach problems became more frequent, it’s like clockwork.
Has anybody ever had issues like this with Keppra? I’m trying to connect the dots here since I have no idea why I’m having frequent stomachaches.

2023.05.29 14:37 GamersAreDumb7 Exploration in Elden Ring isn't good
A big problem I had with the game was that the exploration isn't rewarding to me, which makes me question why it needed to be open-world to begin with. The open-world really just takes more away from game than it adds to it in my opinion.
The side dungeons feel very same-y in their layout, enemies, aesthetics, and overall design with very few exceptions. The feeling of similarity is made exponentially worse by the near universally mediocre bosses you find in them, which is made EVEN WORSE by the fact that these already mediocre bosses are repeated constantly.
Most of the rewards you obtain from these dungeons aren't very useful either. They're mostly just spirit ashes, which are useless if you don't use them and still not that great even if you do, since spirit ashes are horribly balanced and ones like Tiche and Mimic Tear completely invalidate the existence of the rest.
My least favorite part of these side events by far though is how they make the main game less special. Why in the fuck is Godrick repeated in an evergaol? Why is Astel repeated in some random ass dungeon in the Consecrated Snowfield? Why is Mohg repeated in the sewers? These encounters are unbelievably stupid and make major bosses feel less special and unique. Imagine playing through Dark Souls 3 and encountering a one-to-one repeat of the Twin Princes in a shitty side dungeon, imagine how fucking stupid that would feel.
So what's the point of this side content? The dungeons aren't fun to explore, the bosses are garbage and repeated, the rewards are terrible, and they actively make the main game feel worse. It's all very quantity over quality to me, which is the exact opposite of what I come to From Software for.
I really hope their future titles aren't open-world, but given Elden Ring's commercial success, I unfortunately think I will continue to be disappointed.

2023.05.29 14:37 RDUppercut I accidentally kicked my cat halfway across this room this morning
So, I woke up at like 5am. As soon as I open my eyes, I feel it: the tightening in both calves, a prelude to the inevitable cramps that follow. Instinctively, I jump out of bed to stand up, trying to get ahead of the pain that was coming.
Unfortunately, I did not realize in those moments that my cat had been sleeping at the bottom of the bed near my feet. So in my dash to get up, I accidentally punted her, and sent her flying. Thankfully she didn't hit anything, she just landed on the floor on her feet like cats do, but I imagine it was quite the shock for her to go from peacefully sleeping to airborne like that. Rude awakening for sure.
I apologized profusely and gave her treats, but she's still mad at me. I feel SO bad about it. She'll get over it, though.

2023.05.29 14:35 EBoyiswhattheycallme Ecstasy tolerance
So me and my friends took 2 ecstasy pills that were supposedly 230mg a few nights before and we are thinking about going to a party again as we are graduating school, so we are planning on taking 3 of the same pills with us. Im wondering how to space them out so we wouldn't come down as hard, because the last time we took the 2nd pill around 4 hours after, and we didnt trip nearly as hard. So my question how to space them out to keep the trip going? And will we have a lot higher tolarence because of a mere 5 day break?

2023.05.29 14:35 Seahorse_12 I (M30) took part in a paid study at my local university that studied the affects of different diets on abdominal weight gain. I’ve put on nearly 115 pounds in 1.5 years. The money was worth it, but wondering if they took it too far and if I’m able to take legal action.
HERE are some pictures and videos taken by me or others over the course of the last year and a half.
My local university was conducting a medical study on the affects of different diets on weight gain. I signed up and was chosen and the potential money to be made was very appealing. The first two months of the study involved simply eating at a calorie surplus on a premade diet to see how it affected my body’s weight gain. After taking measurements after these initial two months, if my body’s measurements represented any kind of high percentile outlier, I would be selected to potentially continue for the entire 1.5 year study focused on a particular area of the body. Of all of the participants, my abdominal girth was at the highest percentile ratio of girth compared to weight/height, so they selected me to participate focusing on abdominal weight gain and to see how severe it could be.
They paid me about $3,000 a month and had all of my food paid for as I followed a specific premade diet plan that changed every 2 or 3 months to study the affects these specific diets had. Some were dairy heavy, carb heavy, specific types of meats only, mixing in alcohol consumption, specific supplements, etc. I’m incredibly busy in my life with work right now and having a free premade meal plan plus so much extra cash was too good to pass up. So I decided to continue for the entire 1.5 year study.
Fast forward to now, having finished the entire trial, I am starting to have some serious regrets. I’ve put on nearly 115 pounds since last January and I never expected the results to have me looking like this. Honestly, I think even the researchers themselves were really shocked by my result. My ratio of abdominal girth to height/weight is at the highest percentile of the study, their entire student body, and anyone who has participated in the study before. I gained most all of the weight in my torso, which they are severely attributing to genetics and simply the effectiveness of the tailored diets they had me following.
I obviously look ridiculous now. I haven’t even been able to keep up with buying a new professional wardrobe for work (as you can tell my the pictures and videos linked). I was gaining an average of 7 pounds a month, some months being just 3 pounds and some being an entire 15 pounds in a month. So many things are difficult… I break a sweat going up one flight of stairs, I can hardly put my shoes or socks on, fitting into restaurant booths is nearly impossible, getting in and out of my car or off the couch takes preparation. People stare at me in stores or on the street. I had a homeless guy ask me “Jesus Christ, what the fuck? Are you pregnant, dude?” once. My coworkers are polite but make comments here and there.
I haven’t seen my family since early in the study when the weight gain wasn’t very noticeable. I’m seeing them in 2 weeks for a reunion, and I cannot even imagine what they are going to say. I didn’t tell them I took part in this because I knew they wouldn’t approve, but now I wish I had because how am I going to prepare them or explain to them why I look like this now and how it happened so fast. I’m worried to fit on the plane on the way there and having to travel. I’m so nervous to see them. And honestly would like any genuine opinions of whether or not I’m blowing this out of proportion or if they are genuinely going to be shocked. Maybe I can hide it better if I find the right clothing.
I really regret doing this now for the most part and hope I’m able to start reversing it as soon as possible. Thanks for letting me vent and I’d really like to know what would make this viable for me to take it a step further or if I’m totally screwed since I signed papers for this study. Thanks.

Background
Just turned 50 this year (50M) and started running (again) in Oct’22 from a base of zero exercise for the past five years (excepting having 3 small boys (5,7,&9) and the hustle of daily life, family walks, family activities etc. In 2014 I did a couch25k and between 2014-2017 started to run commute into work averaging about 10km per week over this period - (2014 - 900km; 2015 - 500km; 2016 - 650km; 2017 (jan-aug) - 500km). This culminated in a half-marathon race (Rock n Roll Dublin) in 2017 for which I didn’t follow a training plan but did a few longer runs of 13k(ish) and finished in c. 1:48 (ran out of steam at c.19k and had to run/walk a couple of times to finish).Before 2014 - there was no exercise/running/training/gym - I was relatively ‘active’ but no sports/activities to note.
In October last year (‘22), I decided to go for a run to see how it felt and surprised myself by running 7km @ 6:10/km pace. I enjoyed it, and decided to get back running with a vague aspiration to complete a marathon in my 50th year….
Training
… so I started training. Decided in November to book a bib in the Edinburgh marathon, figuring that 7 months should give me a decent enough training block. Avg went from 50km/week to 100km/week over this period.| Month | Distance | Avg Pace |
|---|---|---|
| Nov | 216km | 6:16/km |
| Dec | 321km | 6:07/km |
| Jan | 284km | 5:26/km |
| Feb | 237km | 5:25/km |
| Mar | 291km | 5:19km |
| Apr | 412km | 5:07/km |
| May | 305km | 5:00/km |
I had no (observable) issues in stepping up the mileage over this period, two small injury niggles,one in Nov and one in Feb, and I rested with no reoccurrence of either.
I self-diagnosed regularly occurring foot pain as a Mortons Neuroma (flared up after c.9km and could be run through - but painful) and went through a variety of shoe types to lessen the flare-ups. Settled on Altra’s and roomy footbox, which worked for me.
Parkrun times went from 25:26 (Oct’22) to 19:06 (May’22) over this period.
Other notable times -
10k times - avg sub-45mins on tempo/fast runs
Half-marathons - (did over 20 runs at this distance over the 7 months) ran x2 sub 1:40 and x1 sub 1:34 during the block (not races, just fast/tempo runs)
In Mar&Apr’23 I completed x5 long runs >30km (longest @33km) and a further x2 (27km & 29km) as part of the build up.
I trained with SIS gels and a water bottle filled with Tailwind mix during the long-runs and they settled ok, a little queasy but ok (I did all other runs (<27km) without nutrition or water)
The <1:35 half-marathon was the last fast/long run before the start of the taper (from 100km to 80km (wk1) to 55km (wk2) to 25km (wk3)).
Plan & Pre-race
All marathon time predictors (runalyze; metathon; crplots) had me at a 3:10 to 3:12 marathon time based on my strava logs - I felt this was optimistic (4:34/km) as I had a tendency to drift (pace & heartrate) on longer runs. Based on the half-marathon times in the training block I felt i could sustain close to that pace for maybe 30km - but >40km would be a push - so settled on the following plan for race day:First 16km (10 miles) at 4:40/km, next 16km (10miles) at 4:50/km, last 10km to keep legs moving and hold-on to the finish. Goal A - was to run a sub 3:25.
Pre-race prep was unremarkable - flew to Scotland (from Dublin) on Friday evening - ate well Fri/Sat (lots of pasta, steak, bread) slept ok . Collected bib Saturday morning, pottered around the city for a couple of hours , rested the rest of the day.
Race day morning, grabbed a banana, coffee, croissant - had 500ml of tailwind c. 2 hours before start - greased myself up (sunscreen & anti-chafe), bathroom, checked bag, warmed-up (stretches/gentle jog). Fuelling plan for the race was a gel every 6km topped-up with Tailwind which I carried in a hand-held bottle.
Weather was warm and overcast at the start (10am)
Race
Start was largely downhill for the first 8km, and I tried to keep the pace under control. Legs felt strong and were turning-over well. Despite best efforts, the combination of the downhill, first marathon excitement, over-confidence, other runners pace, me being an idiot, had the first 8km in c.4:35/km pace - which was faster than intended, but not wildly so. The course then hit the sea front and the breeze helped to take the edge off the pace and I settled into the target pace of 4:40/km (-ish) for the next 8km.Took the gels at 6km, 12km and 18km and sipped from the hand-held bottle (tailwind) throughout. I grabbed a few gulps from the on-course water as I ran-by. Weather started to warm-up as the sun broke through the clouds.
Hit 16km feeling good - slightly ahead of target pace and the race-plan was to run the second 16km at an avg 4:50/km so I eased off a little to adjust to plan. Hit half marathon in 1:38ish which was ahead of plan, but I felt ok, knew I had completed a 1:34 half a few weeks back and the race-strategy was to target 4:50/km from 16k to 32k.
Then things changed at around 23/24k mark - legs started to lose some power which came as a surprise, I also started to feel a little nauseous. I skipped taking the planned gel at 24k as i felt i would be ill if i forced it down.
At 25k I just couldn’t hold a sub5:00/km pace at all. I recognised that I was in trouble and it was barely half-way through. Resolved to move to my long-run pace for the training block at 5:20/km and hoped this could see me through to the end. Took a gel at 30k and temperatures were getting warmer. Despite all the difficulties I hit 30k in 2:24 (avg. 4:50km) but i was weakening and getting worried.
When I reached 32k in the marathon I knew I was fucked, pace had slipped to 6:00/km, sun was beating down, other runners were struggling, and I started negotiating with myself to just. keep. running.
By 35k I had to start run/walking as my legs had completely gone. I was gutted but there was nothing left in the tank. Walking through the two water stations I could actually drink the bottles of water and was surprised at how thirsty/dehydrated I was. Pace times dropped off as I continued to run/walk for the next 5k. Nearing the end I gave it everything I had to run the final 2k.
Crossed the finish in 3:43
Post-Race
Disappointed I couldn't run the whole 42k but recognise sub 3:45 is an achievement for a 50year old (couch to marathon in 7 months).Hard to rationalise what went wrong here - initial thoughts:
1). Over-fatigued / over-trained - despite feeling strong during training this was not actually the case - taper ineffective (??)
2). Target pace too aggressive - over-confident/ego/greedy - did not respect the distance - went out too fast
3). Fuelling/hydration was wrong - sweated too much -relied on tailwind - did not take enough water on-course - skipped gel at 24k
probably a combination of all of the above factors.....
Next Steps
i) Rest for a week ii) Dublin marathon at the end of Oct iii) Start structured plan Pfitz. 18/55 or 18/70Made with Strava race report generator.
2023.05.29 14:34 AlyStar123 I hate my job soo much but I work for myself - am I just being entitled?
I started a coaching and training side hustle 10 years ago. I was so passionate about it then and hustled so hard to build it up and I use to love what I did - it initially didn’t even feel like work. I had just been made redundant and it was the perfect opportunity for me to try something different.
It was the best job ever as I was my own boss (well not really, my clients are my boss) but you get what I mean. It was soo much better then my previous job. Also once you start working for yourself, I knew it would be super hard to go back to being an employee so I guess I kind of felt like this option was the better compared to the alternative.
I managed to sustain the passion an drive for a while but eventually it started to feel like work an I started dreading it. I still tried to persevere an put in long hours and days as like I mentioned the alternative seemed crap and I wanted to save as much as possible so to never have to put up with a crap job ever again.
But I eventually got burnt in the process- working 6 to 7 days a week for several years. I also explored the idea of hiring people to try deliverer the “product” but found I hated managing people, running a business an the admin and skills needed for that and much preferred it just being my little side hustle.
Anyway fast forward 10 years and I’m ready to consider giving it completely and then the pandemic hit. I managed to transitional all my clients to online and still charge the same rate.
I lost some clients and got new ones and now run my whole business online but I still hate it!
I’m now just working from home and meeting clients on zoom and as shameful as this sounds but I started to have a discrete glass of wine/beer if it’s an evening session just to try get through it. I also try to multi task whilst coaching my clients like watch YouTube - how bad is that? I guess it a reflection of how much I hate the job now and how little passion I feel currently unfortunately.
I kind of feel like it’s a form of golden handcuffs. I get to work from home, watch YouTube or have a drink, not have a boss, but I’m soo drained. It is soo exhausting coaching clients and I get super anxiety looking at my schedule, thinking about my appointments, clients..etc
All I want to do is go on my bike, go to the gym or literally do anything that will get me off a computer screen and not on zooms or teams.
I don’t t think I can really raise my prices any further as I’m already on the upper range. I guess if I contine at this pace, I can probably quit work all together in 5-6 years and then just chill for the rest of my life. I’m currently 37 years old so should definitely have the stamina and time I guess.
Alternatively , I can get start closing down my side hustle and look for a job which would not pay nearly as much and it would mean I would have to work for much longer but hopefully it may be a lot more enjoyable?

Also once you start working for yourself, I knew it would be super hard to go back to being an employee so I guess I kind of felt like this option was the better compared to the alternative.
I managed to sustain the passion an drive for a while but eventually it started to feel like work an I started dreading it. I still tried to persevere an put in long hours and days as like I mentioned the alternative seemed crap and I wanted to save as much as possible so to never have to put up with a crap job ever again.
But I eventually got burnt in the process- working 6 to 7 days a week for several years. I also explored the idea of hiring people to try deliverer the “product” but found I hated managing people, running a business an the admin and skills needed for that and much preferred it just being my little side hustle.
Anyway fast forward 10 years and I’m ready to consider giving it completely and then the pandemic hit. I managed to transitional all my clients to online and still charge the same rate.
I lost some clients and got new ones and now run my whole business online but I still hate it!
I’m now just working from home and meeting clients on zoom and as shameful as this sounds but I started to have a discrete glass of wine/beer if it’s an evening session just to try get through it. I also try to multi task whilst coaching my clients like watch YouTube - how bad is that? I guess it a reflection of how much I hate the job now and how little passion I feel currently unfortunately.
I kind of feel like it’s a form of golden handcuffs. I get to work from home, watch YouTube or have a drink, not have a boss, but I’m soo drained. It is soo exhausting coaching clients and I get super anxiety looking at my schedule, thinking about my appointments, clients..etc
All I want to do is go on my bike, go to the gym or literally do anything that will get me off a computer screen and not on zooms or teams.
I don’t t think I can really raise my prices any further as I’m already on the upper range. I guess if I contine at this pace, I can probably quit work all together in 5-6 years and then just chill for the rest of my life. I’m currently 37 years old so should definitely have the stamina and time I guess.
Alternatively , I can get start closing down my side hustle and look for a job which would not pay nearly as much and it would mean I would have to work for much longer but hopefully it may be a lot more enjoyable?
2023.05.29 14:34 Adventurous-Owl2951 Advice for moving to Italy?
Hi everyone! I'm currently preparing to move to Italy for a job contract lasting twelve months. I have two and a half months before I need to leave, so it's a weird stage of not knowing if i have too much time or not nearly enough!
However, I'm a little anxious in terms of what I need to bring with me and what I need to prepare for. My employers are handling the paperwork, my residence in an EU country is helping massively, but I've never lived away from my home country before, and I'm terrified that I'll forget something!
If it isn't too much trouble, I'd love to know what I need to bring with me that mightn't have been a necessity when going on a holiday. Also, if there's anyone who lives in Italy at the moment, I'd love to know what you think of it!
(Also, if anyone thinks this needs to go to a different channel, please let me know! I'm fairly new to Reddit (aka I joined less than an hour ago)!)

2023.05.29 14:33 asoundusername How do I get rid of this guilt?
Hi! I (19) have been experiencing continuous guilt following the unexpected death of a young teacher. Any advice on how to get rid of this guilt is greatly appreciated!
Here is some more information:
At my primary school there was a great PE teacher. I was never a big fan of sports or exercise haha, but she made it fun. I remember when I was graduating primary school, I was sad to leave but that changed when I found out that this teacher would be working in the secondary school too! She also taught hockey classes after school which I participated in for a few years despite my terrible hockey skills haha.
I only knew her for about 7 years, but in that time I saw a lot of cool moments in her life. I still remember how happy she was showing her engagement ring to my classmates and hearing about her wedding. She also rocked a variety of hairstyles over the years and she suited all of them!
Back at the start of 2020, I volunteered at my primary school for a week. When I entered the staff room, I saw that teacher but she just seemed kind of off, kind of down, which was a strange sight. Back then I was a dumb teenager who had some reason become bored of the occasionally monotonous nature of life. Very unusual for me, as I’m normally quite optimistic. This resulted in a low mood where nothing seemed exciting anymore, typical teenager stuff haha.
I remember she asked me a bunch of questions and told me she was pregnant. Thanks to the stupid mindset I was in, I don’t remember being as enthusiastic as I wanted to be. Additionally, as I got older, I became nervous to speak to her fearing I’d say something stupid, not that she would pick up on it, she was too kind for that haha. There was literally no reason for me to be nervous. During our conversation, she asked me about my singing lessons, a hobby which I have always loved especially throughout primary school and I was touched that she still remembered this. However, I still noticed that something slightly off with her.
In the past I used to get intrusive thoughts and that day was no exception. After our conversation, an awful thought appeared in my mind: What if she died? But it was good to have this thought, as it put me back in the moment and I had a great time helping her out with her PE classes. Afterwards, I obviously dismissed the thought due to how bizarre it was, since there are a million other reasons why someone could be feeling down. Following that week, I remember feeling bad about my lack of enthusiasm, but didn’t think much of it since I’d have another conversation with her in the future when I would be in a better mood. Or so I thought.
Little did I know that over a month later, that teacher was diagnosed with cancer.
Then came the Covid-19 lockdown, it wasn’t ideal but hey everyone’s in the same boat! (Now knowing the reality of the situation, turns out that was a lie. I still can’t believe that this teacher was sick the whole time in lockdown.) After lockdown when I got back to school, I obviously didn’t see her. Over the years, more teachers had joined the PE department, so she wasn’t needed as much in the secondary school. So I assumed the whole year that she was working in the primary school, not dying in hospital.
I didn’t find out until my mom told me what had happened a day after she died back in the summer of 2021. Not only that she had cancer but that she had died from it? That came completely out of nowhere and was definitely a shock. One good thing that came from Covid is that the recorded funeral was available online for anyone to watch. It was nice to learn more reasons to like her.
I wish I had known that she was sick. It’s so dumb but I had her school email. if I had known, I would have sent her a message. And I know the chances of her reading that are extremely low with what she was going though, but it would have been something. Just something instead of nothing.
Fortunately, the anger and sadness has subsided. This death has truly shown me how precious life really is. Yet the guilt is surrounding the conversations we had, not knowing they were the last, still remains. I took her for granted. I took it all for granted and I can never get it back. Looking back on it, it makes me so angry at myself: knowing what she could have been thinking health-wise but still having light conversations with me. And all she gets back is unenthusiastic responses? I hope I didn’t offend her. I was such an idiot.
It’s got to the point where any time I do a good deed, it just feels like I’m putting on a facade. This week I visited my primary school to drop off cards and gifts at reception for my old teachers to show my appreciation for them. Ever since that teacher died, it’s become very important that the remaining teachers know they are appreciated. I thought this would make me feel good, but it only brought up feelings of guilt, anger and sadness since I’ll never be able to thank this teacher and make sure she knows that she’s appreciated.
I know nothing good comes of ruminating about this. And I know she’s dead and I’ll never see her again. But for some reason this has stuck in my mind. I’ve thought about her everyday since she has died. Which is strange because I don’t remember thinking about her everyday when she was alive. We weren’t close and I wasn’t sports-obsessed haha. It’s been nearly 2 years since she’s passed, I still don’t know why I’ve cared so much about this. Even if she had been alive when I graduated, we both would have gone our separate ways when I left the school. Obviously she wasn’t meant to be around forever, but I didn’t realise how soon she would go.
There are people you meet that you don’t get a lot of chances to speak to but you just hope that life is kind to them. She was one of them.
I feel like I’m so close to putting this out of my mind forever (I hope), but the guilt is still holding me back. Deep down, I still feel like a terrible person and I’m not sure what to do about it. But I do know that I have to get rid of this guilt. This is the last step to moving on, any advice on how to accomplish this is greatly appreciated.

2023.05.29 14:32 capnemo-1734 Do you do full-on FP in JavaScript? Want it?
I've watched a lot of talks, but it was Rich Hickey's which most captivated me and, ultimately, inspired big change in how I coded. After discovering Clojure I was so desiring FP (i.e. ClojureScript) in the browser without a build step and hoard of dependencies that I wrote my own library.
And this fascination has not been a fad. When I first discovered Ruby I was enamored with the language and equally impressed with what the community was doing. I learned a lot!
Clojure changed my perspective in a bigger way. It so clicked with my way of thinking Ruby ceased to interest me.
I'm a web guy. And the browser is my canvas. So JavaScript is my bread and butter. But I've been dying to have more FP goodness in JavaScript. I've eagerly awaited pipelined and partial application (affording tacit style) and records and tuples (immutability all the things!). Once it gets first-class protocols it'll be near full-on Clojure in the browser!
I've experienced firsthand that FP is a portable, language-agnostic paradigm. All a suitable language does is provide facilities. Clojure, like Ruby, could've been written for OOP, but Hickey favored immutability.
Well, I'm an FP guy who does mostly JS. But I carry that mindset into all my JS work. I'm wondering if there are other JS devs, who similarly carry the FP mindset into their work. I don't mean just a smattering of LINQ-style pipelines but a true separation of the pure from the impure. What do you bring to the browser (or Node/Deno/Bun) to get your FP on in JS!?
And quick aside. Command-Query Separation. This is FP, right? Is it something which plays heavily into how you think about and write code? For me, it's a resounding yes! I made a proposal for JavaScript called Command Syntax which leans heavily on CQS and FP thinking, but at times in discussions with other JS devs I don't usually sense a deep FP connection. I feel like I'm speaking another language to another community with different cares.
I want more FP in jS. If that's you too and you like the idea I'm promoting, please consider lending support in this forum thread. Sign ups are free. Plus, your feedback and perspective, since you are of FP ilk, will be especially valuable.
Thank you.

2023.05.29 14:32 MoDaSilva Zara's Elegantly Tokyo (wow!!!)
I'm probably too late to the game, as the collection "vibrant cities" designed by Jo Malone for Zara was released in 2021. But I had no idea Zara have this level of quality in their perfumes. I don't remember anymore who suggested it to me but two days ago I was near a Zara store and actually went to sniff them.
The only perfumes of that collection I found were: Magnificently Dubai, Energetically New York and Elegantly Tokyo. And ... wow!!! I was so impressed by all of them. At first I was honestly still skeptical and thought they won't perform well in the skin dry down and longevity so I tried Elegantly Tokyo on one arm and Energetically New York on the other. I ended going back and buying both of them that same night and I'm thinking of going back to get the Magnificently Dubai too.
I'm completely impressed through and through with Elegantly Tokyo I'd easily make it my signature scent if I can. It's the best jasmine fragrance I've ever smelled, it's a very sophisticated fresh white flowers (not sweet at all), I also get white pepper, musk and a hint of wood and even some incense. Its longevity is insane, the t-shirt I wore the first time I tried it still smells of it. In my skin it easily goes beyond 10+ hours.
I also liked Energetically New York (I'm a big sandalwood fan so I couldn't skip this), but I have to say, after the first sniff, a very weird disgusting note almost takes over, I couldn't describe it, it smells a bit meaty? but in a very weird way, like raw rotting meat? fortunately that note disappears eventually and the sandalwood take over but it can be intolerable for the first 15 minutes or so.
I'm now terrified of getting too attached to Elegantly Tokyo, because I don't know how Zara perfumes collections work? Do they discontinue perfumes when they release newer collections? Are these gonna disappear by next year?

2023.05.29 14:32 intoxxication Leg Workouts to Accommodate Injury
So long story short(ish), in the past 8 months my right foot has had two serious injuries - a nearly complete ATFL rupture last August (after 15 years of chronic spraining) and a ruptured plantar fasciia in March. Both, particularly the plantar fasciia, are still giving me day-to-day issues even with taping and bracing.
I started strength training in January after finally realising that I really hate cardio unless it's jogging and my focus should be on getting healthy rather than getting skinny, and I love it. I currently weigh 130kg, having put on 15kg since August due to lack of ability to exercise. I don't have a structured work out - I do what feels good and makes my muscles burn for 20 minutes 5 days a week in between my two jobs.
Today I was getting into my little routine, doing step ups onto the lowest platform box (because as a horse rider, my knees need a LOT of work and squats hurt my foot too much). Finished, went to step down with my right foot, and was hit by a burning, shooting pain from my big toe to my ankle that cut my workout short and has left me hobbling more than usual.
Basically I'm here looking for leg exercises for the accident prone. I have access to a Bowflex but I never feel like it's really giving me anything, squats are out of the question, and clearly step ups aren't great either, so what options do I have left to work my legs and knees without reinjuring one of my now three injuries? I've already done far too many arm days in the last two months 😂
And yes, I know a sane person would wait until said injuries were fully healed, but my ankle pain is chronic anyway and I hate the thought of letting my body get even more out of control while I rest.

2023.05.29 14:31 nekopola JFK to SF June 2nd - June 5th
I was never a fan of flying but last time I flew, it was from Gdańsk, Poland to Frankfurt, Germany then Frankfurt to JFK. I had severe panic attacks on both flights since I have SVT (a cardiovascular problem) and have also been diagnosed with anxiety. I had to take several heart medication tablets to calm my heart down, and I definitely suffered through both flights. I was doing breathing techniques the whole way through but I really thought I was going to die because my anxiety made my throat tighten up a lot. I used to just have a fear of the plane crashing but now it’s more so a fear of having a heart issue and not being able to escape the plane and get to a hospital in time.
I’m trying to be prepared for the 7 hour flight to SF and back, trying to keep in mind to have magnesium and electrolytes with me. I also recently got prescribed a medication for my flights. My psychiatrist told me that I should take 1 and if that doesn’t help then take 2 right before the flight. I pray that it helps a lot, although my anxiety is so big that even the thought of taking the medication scares me. Someone help 😓

Hi. Purdue's MS CS is a 2 year program, wherein I can choose either the coursework or the thesis option. University of Washington' MS in DS program offers a 1.5 yrs professional program geared towards getting into the job market.
Pros of UoW MS DS: 1) Professional program, might get good job offers 2) Location advantage: Seattle. Lot of big giants near the uni. 3) Tuition is cheap
Cons: 1) 1.5 years duration in current market conditions. Do not know whether the job market will improve by the time I would graduate. There is a chance that I could end up without a job. 2) DS makes it a bit restrictive. Although my main goal is to work as a data scientist, in not so great circumstances, the program may limit the job roles I may be able to apply to.
Pros of Purdue MS CS with focus on ML: 1) Can do a research orientated program, which might keep the option of a PhD in the future open. 2) Chance of TA/RA 3) 2 years program + MS CS provides a wider range of job roles available to me. 4) Low cost of living
Cons: 1) MS CS means I would have to study mandatory courses like Algorithms, and Operating systems. Being a CS undergrad I'd have to go through it again. 2) Location is quite remote. Job opportunities may be lesser than those offered by UoW.
Which one would you choose?

2023.05.29 14:25 Bungee-Cord-Thrwaway Update to Crazy Lady being the former owner of my truck
Well I ran into that crazy lady again. But this isn't going to pan out quite as you might think from the title. I made a small update in my previous post about how I'd repainted my truck white. Well in the time since then, I did also get new plates. Before painting, I pulled some dents and DIY repainted the entire truck for cheap using high pressure wide spray cans. A friend helped me gloss coat the truck for cheap too. The Silverado looks good, if not inconspicuously normal. Most I tell can't believe it's a spray paint job. With the new look to the truck, I figured the odds of me ever running into the crazy lady who previously owned my truck again were practically nil. But I guess it's just too much of a small world. However this time I was more of a bystander to the main event.
I was back in the same area I'd previously encountered that crazy lady in. Only this time I was helping a friend's brother move on Saturday. He'd bought a foreclosed fixer-upper house, and was moving into it after having made a few renovations. My truck was fully loaded and towing a trailer. And it took two trips to get everything. My friend's brother was also transporting stuff in his own car as well. As part of the deal, the brother bought us lunch. I suggested the diner I ate at least time I was in the area. And so we went. The food was as good as I remembered. And we had some good fun talking and eating. But when we were nearly ready to go, that's when the crazy lady entered the establishment. I recognized her almost right away. She looked just the same. Was even wearing similar clothes. Only this time she had a small dog inside the purse tucked under her arm. Not sure of the breed.
When she went to find a table, one of the employees told her that as they'd told her the last time, they do not allow pets unless they're service animals. Crazy lady said her dog was a certified ESA, but the manager with a deep groan said that as he'd previously told her, an ESA was not the same as a service animal. And therefor not an open pass to bring it anywhere she so pleased. Then said she could not dine in so long as long as she had the dog with her. She made a big scene of saying she was being discriminated against, and that she needed her ESA doggo. But the manager was a rock and told her to either order food to go and wait for it outside, or don't get any food at all. Crazy lady yelled that this was outrageous. But I guess in that moment she finally realized how much she was embarrassing herself, and did actually order food to go. And the manager reminded her one more time not to bring the dog in again before she went out the door.
I pointed out to my friends that was the crazy lady I'd previously told them about. And they both laughed and said "No way!". I took the time to recall the past incident before we paid our bill to leave. As we went outside, the crazy lady was out there loudly talking on the phone with someone. I don't know who, but she was very irate. And she was letting her little dog poop in the greenery just outside the diner and didn't pick it up. As we were walking past her, she locked eyes with me. But she didn't seem to recognize me at all. She just gave me a distressed sounding "What are you staring at!?", before I just excused myself by saying "Nothing at all." and kept walking. She watched me walk all the way to my truck and get in it. And she did seem to stare at the truck and me for an uncomfortably long time before finally going back to talking on her phone. I drove away to go back for the second load and that was it. Kinda mundane I know. But that's what happened. I'm actually very glad she did not recognize me or the truck. It seemed like she almost did. So I guess my new paint job worked just fine.

2023.05.29 14:23 bigjilmmmm shrooms didn’t work on me???
i took 3.5g shrooms the other night in the form of gummies/chocolate bar and it didn’t seem to have nearly the effect i expected it to. i could feel the effects very slightly, but it felt a lot more like a microdose than a real trip. i’m trying to figure out if i just bought “duds” but i got it through a pretty reputable source. i am taking a variety of psychiatric meds including SNRIs and mood stabilizers, so i wasn’t sure if those interfered with it. i hadn’t eaten very much that day - just lunch and a little pasta probably 3 hours prior. my partner was taking them with me and they felt effects so i don’t know why they didn’t seem to work for me. i’ve only taken shrooms a few times and they worked for me maybe once and that was when i took ~2g and made it into a tea. any ideas on why this trip was kind of a fail?
