So many numbers, so little time

2012.07.30 01:04 So many numbers, so little time

Many physicians, mid-level providers, practice managers, administrators, billers and front desk staff members have questions about coding. Today's demand for certified professional coders (CPCs) is growing as many jobs in the coding and billing field now require certification. Health care professionals involved in coding, compliance, billing, administration and reimbursement aspects of medicine should be certified as part of a compliance program.

2024.05.13 22:41 BingoMongo124 I am looking for a job

Disclosure: I want to save up some money for collage and a car when I turn 16 but can’t find anyone hiring my zip code is 95111. I am 13 years old and I am extremely mature and can stay calm in bad situatio Disclosure: I want to save up some money for college and a car when I turn 16, but I can’t find anyone hiring. My zip code is 95111. I am 13 years old and extremely mature. I can stay calm in bad situations. I am very tech-savvy, and everyone who gets to know me tells me that I could be an electrician. I have installed outlets, door handles, and other things like that inside my house. My mom says it’s a miracle that I know how to do this stuff, or she would need to hire an electrician. I am looking for $10 an hour pay and can perform exceedingly well when it comes to tech/electrical tasks. However, I am also willing to dog walk, wash/clean your car, babysit, or clean up your house. Those are just some of the things I can do well. I am willing to do anything for some money. I am a hard worker and believe that you need to work hard and do your job right or not do it at all. Once you get to know me, I am very kind, and my mom approves of me working a job. I also have an E-bike that goes 28mph so if your task requires me to go out and get something I can do that. If you are interested, please call 503-201-9645 or email me at smithkaeden613@gmail.com. I am looking forward to hearing from somebody about a job. It may sound weird, but I have gone through some bad things in my life, and I am a very good listener and therapist. I am also extremely understanding. If you need advice or someone to vent or talk to, I will honestly provide that to you for free.

2024.05.13 22:41 Redluff Comprehensive TORRAS Ostand case review

Comprehensive TORRAS Ostand case review
Full disclosure, TORRAS sent me these cases free of charge, but they didn't pay me or tell me to say anything; these are my own genuine opinions about the cases, good and bad.
The white iPhone is in the Ostand Spin case, and the natural one is in the Ostand R case.
I want to start off with MagSafe because the magnets on these are insane. As visible with the magnet paper, the MagSafe consists of only two segments rather than a full ring, but they are suuper strong. I currently own 7 cases, and the TORRAS ones have the strongest magnets by far. They stick to MagSafe accessories very strongly, but the R case takes the edge because you can just stick it to any ferromagnetic metal surface and it sticks to it securely. I've done some testing and I'm not afraid of the phone falling off at all. Here's a video I made of this. I've found that this happens because the stand flips out very slightly due to the attraction and sticks to the metal surface. It can also be done with the Spin case, but in my experience, it's a hit or miss, more often a miss. I have to smash my phone onto the surface for it to work, which isn't nice... with the R case, it works flawlessly. I don't think this is an advertised feature, but it works very well.
The only thing I miss is the alignment magnets below the ring. The Spin case has the hinge kind of in the way, but I think the R case could easily have it, and it's a bummer that it doesn't. I use a MagSafe wallet, and it just rotates around the rings without the alignment magnet, especially since the ring itself can rotate too, so not even the friction can keep it in place. Not all MagSafe accessories rely on the alignment magnet though, so this depends on what you use with your phone.
The built-in stands are more useful than I anticipated. I haven't used cases with stands, pop sockets, or anything like that before, because I don't like the bulk they add to the phone, but these are very minimal and don't add any weight or bulk compared to other cases. The tension hinges feel good and high quality, and the stands work as you would expect, pretty nice overall; you can prop the phone up in basically any orientation and angle. The Spin case has a fixed hinge at the bottom of the MagSafe ring that clicks into place at 90-degree intervals. The R (rotatable) stand can rotate around the MagSafe ring freely. Only the Spin case can hold the phone in a fully upright vertical position, and it can even go at a negative angle if you put something heavy into the stand to counterbalance it (could be useful for taking videos maybe). Overall, I've found the R stand more useful though, and found some alternative uses for the stand as well, as you can see in the images. I've used it to hang it on the glass shower door to listen to music in the shower, without getting the phone wet multiple times, and it works wonders. I've asked TORRAS about how waterproof the hinges are, but they haven't gotten back to me about it yet. (The case or phone doesn't get wet directly, but the steam might condense on it; not sure how good that is in the long run.) Another important aspect to mention is the fidgeting potential of the stands. Opening and closing the stands, spinning them around their axis, it's just all really satisfying and I just can't stop myself from playing with them whenever I have my phone in my hands. This could even potentially be considered a downside in certain situations, as I've found myself distracted, playing with my phone case during conversations with people. These things are addictive if you like to fidget.
The overall production and material quality of the cases is excellent. I've bought multiple TORRAS cases and screen protectors with my own money in the past, and they always deliver superb quality. The back of these is a soft translucent dark gray plastic, which means they don't yellow like clear cases. The edges are slightly rough rubber for good grip and drop protection (the same as their Guardian Mag). I also sometimes flip out the stands to support my grip on the phone too. The R stand comes with interchangeable buttons (black, orange, and dark green) machined out of aluminum. This elevates the quality and can be customized (as you can also see in my pictures) and is also a win for the R case in my eyes, compared to the Spin case's fixed buttons made of the same rubber as the sides of the case, though both cases' buttons are clicky and responsive.
To summarize, both cases are really high quality with super strong magnets, and I can recommend both; they're great. They have slight differences and strengths, depending on what you need. If I had to choose one, though, I'd definitely get the rotatable over the spin, especially since they're both the same price. The only downside I've found throughout my testing is the missing alignment magnets.
I personally have mostly been using my Bullstrap leather case (that I ordered to Europe, expensive as hell) and going caseless every now and then in the past, but the Ostand R quickly became my main case, replacing the Bullstrap and even the naked phone. The built-in kickstand in a regular phone case form factor is just so convenient, I miss it whenever I don't have it (and the addcitive fidgeting might play a role too haha), and the fact that I can just slap the phone onto a metal surface without worrying about it falling off is also very useful for me. I often put my phone aside to take a timelapse video of me working, so that i don't get distracted by it and concentrate on work, and the built in stands make this A LOT easier than before. I switched the action and power button to orange and set my wallpaper and clock to match and i just love the personality of it. If i happen to switch to another case or go naked occasionally (which i rarely do now), i still carry the R case in my backpack with me in case i need it or want to switch to it. I genuinely love this case, which to be honest i didn't expect before getting them.

2024.05.13 22:40 Hutchy_123456 Sick of being sick

I’m sick of being sick. Not a week goes by that I don’t have something wrong with me.
Its either: - Hashimotos flare up - Inflamed Lymph Nodes (Kikuchi Fujimkto Disease) (new thing found) - Neck and back pain - TMJ pain - Allergies/Sinus/Asthma - Stomach/bloating - Some form of injury (wrist ATM) - Some cold I’ve picked up from someone - PMDD/hormones/mood changes - Anxiety
The smaller things I notice are: - Always cold - Hair loss - Nails Breaking - Dry skin/cracked heels
The added component of IVF just tips me over the edge and I just am sick of it. I live on pills and supplements and I try my best to stay away from sick people. But it’s a losing battle.
My antibodies are all under control as they’ve been doing multiple blood tests during IVF to check. I eat healthy and I’m gluten and dairy free. Plus all the other restrictions with IVF (caffeine, deli meats etc).
How do you all get through it daily? Feel free to have a big whinge like I have.
😩😩😩😩😩😩 (literally me right now).

2024.05.13 22:40 groundfairy Cat scratch/bite(?)

I was going for a walk last night and saw a cat on the path so I called it over. It rubbed all over my legs and seemed like a normal, friendly cat. I was petting it and it rolled over and I made the mistake of trying to pet its belly (I know) and it did the thing cats do where they grab your arm with their mouth and rabbit kick you. And then went back to wanting to be petted. I was wearing a light sweater so the only marks my arm were one light scratch that didn’t bleed and is barely visible today and one other tiny scratch that’s so small I can’t be sure it’s not from the cat’s tooth (also surface level and did not bleed).
I live in France which is considered a rabies free country and this occurred in a wealthy neighborhood of a midsized city. The cat wasn’t wearing a collar but looked very clean and healthy so I don’t think it was a stray. I washed my arm with soap and water once I got home less than an hour later.
I didn’t think much of it until my friend (who is from India) asked if I was going to get a rabies shot, which I never have before. Normally I would think this is no big deal, but I have had some health issues recently that are making me much more anxious than usual.
Do I need to seek any medical attention or vaccine? Given that there is supposedly no rabies in France, the cat seemed healthy, and my wounds were very superficial it seems like there is practically no risk to me. But after my friend said this I’ve been worried and thinking about it all day even convincing myself that my arm feels funny (it only feels like that when I’m thinking about it). Thanks for any advice.

2024.05.13 22:40 zida_a cal vs ucsd public health

hi everyone I’m a recent transfer and got into cal and ucsd for public health, waitlisted at ucla 😔💔! i am extremely grateful, however am not sure which I should pick. i’ve always imagined myself in socal but didn’t expect to get into berkeley. don’t want to regret letting go of an opportunity like this. both schools are extremely strong for my major so I’d love to hear your input!
Cal: Public Health B.A. major
Pros: - cheaper than UCSD by 5-7k - name and prestige - Global Poverty Practice (GPP) minor ^ can relate my own practice tailored to public health - 4+1 program (able to get masters in 1 year after undergrad, if i get accepted) - location! also has a joint program w UCSF - connections (great for networking and have multiple doctors I can shadow and gain experience from) - a lot of public health grads are able to land a job before they graduate - has a children’s hospital nearby (want to do pediatrics in the future) - research is great - feel like this school would rlly challenge me and make me grow - more premeds get into medical school - “feeder” school for UCSF, most students also go to UCLA for med Cons: - gloomy weather bc of bay - close to home - grade deflation - worried I won’t have a high enough GPA to apply to med school - no med school on campus - academic environment - housing prices are expensive 😭 - safety (as a girl) - anchor housing is 2k with no meal plan (i think) - i’m taking a summer class which is on quarter system and cal starts on a semester system
UCSD: Public Health with Concentration in Medicine Science
Pros: - la jolla! great location and would feel relaxed going to the school - nicer weather - 3 hospitals on campus and many other facilities - easier on GPA - amazing for premeds - tution is expensive - far from home - people are more friendly - safer than cal ? - research is great - feeder school for ucsd med ?
Cons: - ucsd use to be my dream school but it changed to ucla - not really sure if i’ll feel challenged enough to grow academically - housing crisis? - not too sure if sd is my vibe - heard it’s socially dead - heard their public health program is less premed and more health

2024.05.13 22:39 PakistanArmyBall [Death and Asteroids] The Republic of Prometheus: A light in the dark or an inferno

[Death and Asteroids] The Republic of Prometheus: A light in the dark or an inferno
Some quick memes to give an idea of their culture and broader actions
From the flames of Prometheus rises Mankind forged anew
“Hear the sum of the whole matter in the compass of one brief word — every art possessed by man comes from Prometheus.”
The History of the Promethean Republic was one born out of tragedy as millions looked onwards into space in shuttles to the outerworlds of UN colonized space with the promise of new life and settlement freshly dripping from their ears. When they arrived they were betrayed by these honeyed words as enmasse they were enslaved and subjected to mutilation and augmentation on a scale never before seen. The cries of millions silenced by the chatters of trillions of others in the stars.
These betrayed were historians, mothers, fathers and scientists hoping to explore new frontiers only to be subjected to this by corrupt or rogue UN governors and industrialists looking to make a quick buck off of an “efficient” work force. They hoped to scrape away their free will and ability to rebel and leave only obedient and subservient “automatons” who while less physically capable than the cheaper robot would be more adaptive. Amongst those who betrayed them however was a man known as “Charon” who horrified at the deeds of his fellows set out to right what went wrong and bring the millions of people annihilated back.
He would succeed but not in his lifetime as the title was merely one passed on to others like him. The various Charons subtly sifted through code and memories to try and identify what little he could bring back. It took the Galactic civil war between the LIS and UN to give them the right time to act. And so the cyborgs arose unleashing a massacre not seen since the French Revolution upon their slave masters after decades of encountering others they would realize that humanity was unlike them having retained their flesh and minds while also unwilling to accept them back into the fold.
So emerged the Republic of Prometheus which would stand as the Cyborgs attempted to recover what they could of themselves and others. Some had awoken from their slavery to find their young children they took with them on their trip dead killed by their unrepentant slave drivers who saw little use or thrown into orphanages by the few with any semblance of a moral compass. Many tears were shed as children fled from their mangled parents and their steel husks as they said a rambling name that sounded semi-intelligible for their own. Prometheans disgraced and horrified vowed to stay in isolation in the hopes that maybe their children would have been better off without them.
A myth of the “Republic of the Dead” emerged as the centuries went on of a region of space where the dead still walked.
The prometheans eventually began to rebuild themselves and forge a new society one built around some semblance of patriotism and liberty. Eventually they developed from their faulty memories and eventually their own capabilities means of communication amongst each other via cybernetics with that the need for election dissipated as referendums took their place. The Prometheians could be regarded as of now as either the first cyber-democracy or perhaps a democratic technocracy.
This would not dissipate as they founded their state religion, the cult of Libertas. By this point Charon and Prometheus had merged in their minds as one being with Prometheus developing into god in their eyes as the one who struck down betrayers and uphold oaths. By this point of course Charon had long perished having left to his home planet after the insurrection. Prometheus is a loving albeit harsh father who intends to force humanity to advance as one and despises “parasites” who prey on the week and advance only for themselves.
He did leave them three principles: -The Principle of Spartacus(Unity), which was to uphold and embrace all members into their community in exchange for fully loyalty. It has also been interpreted as communal openness or universal brotherhood. -The Principle of Brown(Liberation), to end injustice wherever it may be and to liberate the people. It has also been interpreted as loyalty to god’s equality. -The Principle of Prometheus(Knowledge), the easiest to understand is to actively study the world both scientific, historical and cultural as well as to disseminate it beyond.
While on paper positive the cult has by this point expanded to mandate cybernetics, worship of the three principles and universal mandatory service as well as a notoriously loose code of ethics. Notably including hiding information regarding medical research from participants till after the study has occurred, coercion via pay and even including prisoner coercion. When questioned they would merely state the individual has no free will as no man has accomplished anything by themselves with deviations from community norms often shunned. There is also the issue of the void whom many have started to regard as the personification of Prometheus to be freed while others denounce it as the being that had brought this corruption to the world and must remain imprisoned as per its punishment.
It is not without its progress as work on stem cells previously slowed by regulation and cybernetics have exploded leading to a population regarded by many as technically immortal and without pain. Food is surprisingly abundant thanks to advances in Hydroponics and lower demand thanks to how far some augmented have went.
The army is entirely adhoc largely composed of self-funded and organized militia charged with rooting out slavery, banditry and hostile forces at home. They would often engage in expeditions with state approval to liberate planets dominated by slavers and leave after transitioning power to the oppressed albeit often with a hefty booty of loot. These newly liberated planets deemed to be in the Promethean security network would find themselves guaranteed by the Republic and offered annexation at a later date pending referendum. However in case of invasion or an offensive war the state bureaucracy following a referendum authorizing it would select a Supreme Commander who would then select his subordinates who would then assume control of the various militias.
Politically the dominant faction is the isolationists but two increasingly vocal interventionist factions have emerged: The Blues and Greens. Blues support a diplomatic approach gradually uniting the various planets underneath a cybernetic democracy and supplying technology as well as economic aid to develop them and build goodwill. Greens view humanity has squandered their inheritance and that their “elders” must take charge to guide them back to glory at all cost.
Glory to Prometheus, Spartacus and Brown!

2024.05.13 22:38 austin4p Could it be Fibromyalgia?

Could it be Fibromyalgia?
As someone deeply familiar with healthcare, I've witnessed firsthand the early signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia impacting both men and women. This condition, often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, manifests uniquely in each individual.
For women, the onset of fibromyalgia might present as widespread pain, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to touch. The tender points in the body become painful, affecting daily activities. Women may also experience sleep disturbances, cognitive issues known as "fibro fog," and mood irregularities.
In contrast, men with fibromyalgia may exhibit symptoms like muscle stiffness, joint pain, and digestive problems. Fatigue and sleep disturbances play a significant role in their daily lives too. Men often report decreased physical endurance and increased irritability as symptoms progress.
Regardless of gender, the invisible nature of fibromyalgia can lead to challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Its symptoms can mimic other conditions, complicating the diagnostic process. Therefore, it's crucial for individuals experiencing persistent pain, fatigue, and other symptoms to seek medical evaluation for accurate diagnosis and management.
By shedding light on the early signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia in both men and women, we strive to raise awareness and encourage proactive healthcare practices. Understanding how this complex condition can manifest differently in individuals is essential for promoting early intervention and improved quality of life for those living with fibromyalgia.

2024.05.13 22:37 jobotnikgaming I think I found a way to put luigi from mario 64 back into the game thanks to chat gpt

So he said Adding source code from Luigi into the original Mario 64 game is quite complex and generally not recommended for beginners. However, if you're interested in modifying the game, you'd typically need to:
  1. Access and Understand the Source Code: Obtain the source code for Luigi in Mario 64. This could involve finding or extracting the specific code related to Luigi's character.
  2. Modify the Game Code: Integrate Luigi's code into the Mario 64 source code. This may involve understanding how the game's engine works, including graphics, physics, and character mechanics.
  3. Compile the Modified Code: After making changes, compile the code to generate a new executable file that includes Luigi's character.
  4. Testing and Debugging: Test the modified game extensively to ensure that Luigi's addition works correctly and doesn't cause unexpected issues or crashes.
  5. Legal Considerations: Keep in mind that modifying game code can raise legal issues, particularly if you plan to distribute the modified game publicly.
For this type of project, having programming skills, game development experience, and familiarity with the specific game engine (in this case, the N64 game engine) is essential. Additionally, you may want to join communities or forums where developers share similar projects and can provide guidance and support.

2024.05.13 22:37 anonymous_moongirl Suggestions: pottery workshops in paris

Hi, I am so curious to learn pottery and I did it only once, 3 years ago. I want to do it again to know if this is what I would like to do in my free time. Also it's such a relaxing form of art that will make me feel good and happy. I searched on the internet for one day workshops in paris but it's quite confusing, also they are very expensive. So can anyone suggest me some places where I can do a one day pottery workshop, like the practical pottery making and not the theory to learn how it works. Do you guys have any suggestions ?

2024.05.13 22:37 Samosa_Connoisseur Confused about what I want to specialize in

F2 on Anaesthetics. I like it a lot. Really fascinated by the physiology and pharmacology and the science behind anaesthesia. But I also tend to panic in acute situations where you have only seconds and I am not the best at procedures but can improve with practice. I have seen quite a few nerve blocks and spinals and they look very daunting to perform especially spinals as there was one case where the consultant was really struggling with and I was panicking internally that if I choose anaesthetics I will be panicking like this internally but good at hiding it. Improving on airway skills and cannulas but not perfect. Is this a sign anaesthetics is not for me or is it too early to say as I have only been on anaesthetics for a month and the steep learning curve is making me feel a certain way? Could I be feeling panicky just because I haven’t been exposed to such stuff enough?
Have also done a radiology taster which I really liked and fit with my personality more (I get a lot of satisfaction from puzzle solving and diagnosis which I think I will miss on anaesthetics) although I am more fascinated with physiology and pharmacology than anatomy
Pathology taster coming next which I think I will like too
Before coming on to anaesthesics I was sure I wanted to do a medical/physicianly specialty but being on anaesthetics is really eye opening as the culture is so nice and everyone loves to teach which is the opposite of medicine (medical consultants all look miserable at my place and always grumpy and hate being called for advice and don’t like to teach) so anaesthetics is definitely above medicine for me but now also confused with radiology (very lovely people too and not as scary as they sound on the phone!) and pathology as they also look like specialties I will be happy in and the consultants and trainees seem really happy too

2024.05.13 22:37 dkbe68 NJ health insurance for newcomer?

So I’ve recently moved to jersey from NYC( it’s been a few months). During the last year of me living in ny, worked per Diem/part time so I qualified for Medicaid. It was great since everything was free and now that I make too much to qualify, I haven’t had insurance since it’s so expensive.
I’m pretty healthy so it hasn't been too bad and getting my meds, going to occasional doctors appointments, etc. hasn't been hard on me financially. Anyways, I want to see a specialist and get some tests done but i knoooow its going to be expensive. I know i can't afford to pay out of pocket for all the things I'dneed (probably a colonoscopy). Any suggestions for insurance or ways to pay without breaking the bank? I see that insurance plans are pretty expensive.

2024.05.13 22:36 CuriousAnachronism 24 [M4M] Germany/Europe/Online - Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus

Prologue

Hello and welcome to my post. I will subdivide this into two large parts. One will cover my thoughts, feelings, my hopes and dreams...While the other will tell you the specifics of how I pass the time, what topics interest me, what passions do I posses. I believe that at the end of this leap into my inner world, you dear reader, will have all the necessary information to judge whether we are compatible or not.

Part I
I am writing this in the hopes of finding something that I lack. Lately I have had this feeling, this tinge of melancholy within the dephts of my being, this yearning to find a kindred spirit, another Soul, much like mine, to form a bond with. Perhaps Loneliness is the right word for what is bothering me, but to use it seems to carry with it a connotation of ungratefulness. Ungratefulness for the people that I do have in my life, although none of them, of course, have the connection to me that I seek here.

I have found it increasingly necessary to seek in this Life a sort of purity of thought. What I mean is, I have began to undestand what ideas and concepts are ultimately compatible with my inner most Self, ergo what guidelines I have to follow to feel the most whole. Naturally I have likewise realised what I cannot add to my Self and what I will henceforth reject with all the power that I posses.

With this new context in mind, I now follow on the path of self improvement. I will now begin to mold my Self into my perfected idea of how the Self should be. This is certainly a significant undertaking, one that will not be easy to follow through on but one that I ultimately have to do. To me such context is essential. It is akin to a Guiding Star shining in the night. I will follow this Star for without it I am lost in the vast Darkness.

Looking back at my life, it was suboptimal, especially if one compares the way it molded me to how I will now mold myself. I suppose I must look on with a hint of regret at all that time which one might consider to be lost. Still... I try to stave off such decisively negative interpretations, after all, I have ultimately came to these conclusions. That means that somewhere along the line I had to have picked up on enough of such ideas for them to become so cemented in my consciousness. Well, either that or I was always like this, but in that case I can at least thank my life up to this point for not being able to supress such manifestations of my inner most Self.

To add to the topic of my life, I must admit that not all the battles have yet been won, not all the Demons vanquished, not every Mountain climbed. I want you to keep such things in mind when deciding whether or not to approach me. Many will shy away, I undestand that much, but the pursuit of true Companionship is just another such battle. Having said all that I do believe that being able to overcome hurdles together carries with it a certain appeal. That is to say, what's the fun in joining once the Game is already over?

I don't shy away from such challenges, perhaps to a fault. Certain troubles that I faced in the past carry with them a long shadow over my current health and well being. Still, I intend to change little in this regard other than the proficiency with which I will clash the current of my Will against the cliffs of Life.
Part II
In this part of my post I will tell you about my interests and hobbies, I will try to be thorough, commonality in this regard is rather important to build a relationship
History. I have had an interest in history for almost a decade now, it started back in school and developed from there. Well, now that I think about it one could argue that it started even earlier in my life as I liked watching the odd historic documentary or film aired on television but it wasn't regular back then, I never actively sought it out. I am mostly interested in European history in the period between the 18th-20th century but I sometimes branch out to other time periods and other parts of the world. I watch various channels related to history and read articles and sometimes books. I have recently got a few books on the German revolution of 1848/1849 and a historical magazine on the Thirty Years' War. Besides that I try to visit museums sometimes.
Literature. Especially old novels. I like to immerse myself in the Worlds of these books, I tend to read them while listening to thematically fitting music and take my time with them. One time you are following a troubled Youth in his quest for spiritual understanding of the world, another you see the aged and decrepit Doctor gambling his very Soul on the promises of abtaining satisfaction in earthy pleasures, then again your olfaction notices the most pleasant scent known to man even as the one eminating it has the appearance of a revolting Frog. These and many other stories open up to you once you decide to set foot into the literary World.
Languages. I know three, with one being a bit rusty. I am currently working intently on strengthening it. I believe that if I continue to apply myself in this regard then I should be able to finally conquer it. What language am I working on? Well, if you were to stack all the major works in it they would be as tall as a house... It is fun to go through different works in multiple languages, the same goes for film, games and such.
Games. I recently played Cyberpunk 2077. Well as recently as I played any major story centric game. Now that the dust has settled and the bugs mostly removed...It's not that bad. The main questline at least. Besides that I tried Fallout 76 (Very average, I'm dissapointed with what they made the "RPG" system) and I might give Deus Ex Manking Divided another spin (since it's somewhat similar to Cyberpunk when it comes to its aesthetics). Dark Souls is one of my favorite series, I still haven't beaten Elden Ring though. When it came out I wasn't in the right mindset to invest a hundred hours into it, with all those bosses and difficult locations. I think I'll only consider playing it if I am streaming it to someone. I am generally interested in either streaming games or having the person I am talking to stream them to me. To be specific I mean streaming to a single person while being on call. Besides that I'm a big fan of Paradox strategy games, especially Europa Universalis IV and Heats of Iron IV, I tend to only play single player since I find multiplayer with many people to be rather stressful but on the other hand I have nothing against a co-op game. I'm not the best player though, despite the ammount of hours I have in them. Another great game I would mention would be Dragon's Dogma. A very underrated RPG. I recently beat it again and it was an atmospheric and interesting experience. It is one of those games that feel like they have an endless ammount of depth and constant new secrets to discover.
Anime and Manga. In recent times my interest in them has waned but I still watch the occasional series here and there. Like Cyberpunk Edgerunners (Which I found to be rather mediocre) and the very good first season from the new arc of Bleach. Some of my favourite series include: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Death Note, Fate;Zero, Psycho Pass, Code Geass and Attack on Titan. I wouldn't mind if you were to introduce me to some new series, maybe based on the ones I mentioned. My favourite Manga is Berserk which I still follow, althought I am still not certain on the direction that the new author is taking. I suppose it really is a matter of contention whether a somewhat (or considerably warped) vision is better than an unfinished work. One could argue that a few novels remain unfinished and possess a macabre appeal to them as such.
Music. Classical music has a very special place in my heart. A few of my favourite pieces would be: Clair de Lune, Nocturne Op. 9 No.2, Devil's Trill Sonata, Danse Macabre, Valse Sentimentale, Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92: II. Alegreto (by Beethoven) and Suite from Swan Lake, Op. 20a: I. Scene. Moderato. There are more but these ones always invoke something in me when I listen to them. Besides Classical I also enjoy listening to Synthwave, old Western pop and J-pop, both modern and from the 20th century.
Esotericism. I am interested in things spiritual, mystical, magical and esoteric. I have read religios texts, magical grimoires, introductions to various schools of thought. It is interesting to me.
Epilogue
Hopefully I was able to cast the spotlight upon my inner World in a clear and unequivocal manner. I feel the need to add to the aforementioned that I am rather introverted, which means that I tend to dislike large social gatherings. I managed to condition myself to be able to endure the presense of large groups of people but it isn't something that I would seek out in most cases. Besides that I am neurodivergent and suffer from certain issues with mental health. I have to take medication to keep myself under control. They work well enough but certain days are harder than others. I respect the struggle that others have with mental health but in the context of a relationship I have my limits, no one with BDP for instance. I am also not looking for anything casual. I understand than one cannot demand depth and meaning from a conversation with an absolute stranger, that is akin to trying to build a sand castle right before the waves strike but I ask at least that you enter with a mindset that this might become something of significance. I also do want to say that I am completely Monogamous. My preference? The sickly, pale, intellectual who watches rain droplets slide down the window in Autumn. Lastly, if I enjoy the company of a person I tend to not want to let them go.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and have a good day. I ask that you send a DM instead of a chat and that you give your thoughts on my title in the opening of your message.
Goodbye...Or perhaps untill we meet again

MacBook Pro 2013 literally dead acting weird after bad uninstalling open core
https://preview.redd.it/o90p5a2t890d1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c99d98e30abf8cade2f02b1d3c0f05e91219aa1d
I don't know what to do. it's killing me that the only way to revive this messy situation is to format the ssd as an external drive.
nothing works. the only key combination that work is internet recovery (opt cmd R or opt cmd shift R ). internet recovery get a white prohibited sign with no error code! nothing works. not even resetting the PRAM. I tested with a usb keyboard too but it's completely dead! nothing happens, just a black screen for ever. sometimes it resets itself too that imo, it's common and very normal!
I know, I create a usb bootable with Open Core Legacy app on another MacBook but it's dead.
keyboard acting weird and caps lock mode inverted! and numbers not working at all, only they symbol alternative like !@#$%%! it's true.
help me please.
what I do? it was 6 months ago when I get in a bios like environment I don't remover why but remember I delete everything and anything like OC DIR something like that. there was a screen with numbers that do specific jobs and edits to open core legacy in root access. id don't know, what I know is my MacBook Pro bricked.

2024.05.13 22:34 PhEnOL_001 Manipulator arm hardware implementation

Hello,
I have made this manipulator arm with 5-dof (I know it's kinda messy and lots of bits by bits joining) I have completed the simulation and moveite2 in gazebo now I wanna apply that irl.
1) can you please provide me some documentation or videos that will help me implement my ros code with the hardware (I am using ros2 humble)
2) not ros related but asking for suggestions that when the power is off servo is not stopping at it's position rather it's getting free and pulled down due to the weight of arm.
Thank you.

2024.05.13 22:32 Ok-Particular4877 Conflicted about my career.

I (25F) grew up with not much, raised by migrated grandparents. Lots of financial hardship but grateful to have lived in quiet neighborhoods with good public schools. Even our public housing is nice and I don't feel unsafe walking around because most people mind their business.
Being raised in a migrated household, I was fluent in another language. Here there is a high demand for people who speak my language and also a need for people of my ethnic background to be in a lot of career fields. Some fields I was interested in was nutrition and psychology. I saw the stigma of mental health and the need for educating my people about food & how helpful it is to eat right.
I have an eye condition in one eye so it limits me from things like nursing because they're so fast-paced. I can't (legally) drive either. I could be a rad tech but it's very competitive. Nutrition seemed perfect but they don't pay well until you become an RD which people say is not worth the time and money they sacrificed.
I have two more fields I would be happy to go into and it's accounting or learning software. I've done some coding practice recently. My interest came when I learned how to use a program in 8th grade to make a simple game where I make a ball bounce. Difficult career but I would still be up to learn even if it's really hard. I'm also motivated watching my older cousin make it in the field & he grew up like me.
On one hand, I might regret not helping people as I helped them all my life. On the other hand, I might also regret not making enough to be comfortable.
