drugs.com says Rexulti and Cymbalta have a major interaction, but it also says it involves low blood pressure, which I am in absolutely no danger of.

Got the first dose in me just now. A little early, but staff was trying to get in and out of here before a storm.

I wouldn't trust a .com site for accurate medical info. Especially one called drugs.com.

This Rexulti stuff knocks me out pretty well, but I keep having to wake up to drink water. Meh.

You say you're trained in lucid dreaming, you say you're the only concious being around here/it's all you.
So would you shut up already and start train yourself in lucid waking!
First thing then on your agenda may very well be doing away with covid19; I'm sick off it - well not being infected, but ... you know ...

I found out the half-life of Rexulti is ninety-one hours. Means that despite feeling it hard last night, I haven't even really started yet. There'll be nearly twice as much in me after tonight's dose.

I'm afraid of some of these side effects too, as they're similar to Abilify's. Like compulsive behavior, including gambling. And weight gain. Can't take much more of that.

They took my blood pressure just now, and the bottom number was 104. It's not supposed to be 104. I don't care that much though. If I feel it getting too high, I'll cut myself to relieve the pressure. That's how that works, right?

The easiest way is to call a plumber and get a tap fitted.

I managed to drink more caffeine than usual last night, and it was the best feeling ever, and it's kinda gone now, but man, why do people ever do meth or heroin or whatever when you have socially acceptable and perfectly serviceable caffeine? Boggles me.

I'm still remembering what Sandi said about addictions though. Avoiding a Klonopin addiction with a caffeine addiction doesn't really help anything. And Rexulti increases addictive behavior. I might really be screwed now.

It does not work like that. Eat more fruits and veggies. Broccoli, bananas, etc.

Heart plug

A heart plug was a medically implanted device seen in David Lynch's 1984 film version of Dune. Presumably used on human Slaves or enemies the Harkonnens wished to torture to death, it was a small object sewed into the chest of the victim, seemingly over the heart. When a small tab in the center...

Dune was way ahead of it's time. Who could have guessed that we'd end up with giant sandworms due to climate change?

Spoiler: 100% accurate.

That's not true, we are running out of sand: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/world-facing-global-sand-crisis-180964815/

Vietnam forecast to run out of construction sand by 2020

Growing demand and lack of alternative materials are to blame

And that's why the worms are angry, they can not build new houses for their children.

Been in physical pain (arm) since I woke up this morning, so I haven't really got anything done.
I've been doing some thinking though. My next application (note taking one) will be my last, because each time I finish one I feel a combination of anxiety and relief that it's finally done rather than a feeling of pleasure. It was only meant to be a temporary thing anyway to prove to myself that I wasn't a failure (it hasn't worked). I'm still going to be carrying on with my other things such as proof reading/photos/games which I do get a sense of pleasure from. Also in other news, I hope my arm gets better soon because one-handed typing is annoying.

@Null Sorry for pushing you, man. I thought you welcomed my support. Won't push you again, promise!
Your apps are fine. From the silly games to the useful yt download thingy. That's more than enough "proof" to me that you got programming chops.
Once you get your Pyra, you'll have another ARM. Change mouse location. Listen to fanfiction (or proofread it, as it is low typing and does not strain - don't do games though). There are also these Google API's where you can talk to it and it types what you said. So that replaces typing a bit. Did you manage to finish "Permanent Record"? I'm halfway through and it just feels like a mix of memory lane and 80ties story. But nothing I actually wanted to read about, just a biography.

Don't worry about it it's fine to . I just reacted badly because my brain is broken.

Many thanks.

Did you manage to finish "Permanent Record"?

Yep, quite a while back.

I'm adopting a wait and see approach with my projects. I'm going to try to do things that I want to rather than things that I feel that I have to.
I looked up some info about generating dictionaries and such, I got the methods to work by themselves, but stopped trying to integrate them when my head started hurting, that's when I decided to go for the user input method instead. The pain has spread to other areas of my body but is psychosomatic so should disappear when I'm calm again.

Very sensible. If you don't do something like that you'll end up with their some kind of mad hobby or (shock, horror) an actual job. It's the only good way to go.

some kind of mad hobby

I've already got one of those, it's called antagonising Peony.

The pain has pretty much receded so I've been able to get some stuff done. I've added a file (dropdown) menu and added two currently empty subwindows (one for adding stuff and one for deleting stuff) to my program. The json file for dictionary stuff is also working fine.

 

[Null]

Back to my usual self. It looks like I just needed something new to do to take my mind off things (possible oversimplification). Anyway long story short I've been cobbling together a Wikipedia scraper today (and have enjoyed doing so). It's pretty much done too.

Keeping busy is the best. Lately I've been building wood wick candles. The crackling isn't perfect yet, but still amazing to have around.
