  • Gosh, I'm a little jealous. My soda addiction has got a right hold on me. Specifically Barq's root beer lol. I'm trying to wean myself off slowly by cutting caffeine first and then hopefully transitioning to the less sugar sodas and then off soda entirely.

    But hey, I'm happy for you, that's excellent!

  • Low sodium diet for my heart - which is shockingly hard to do. In the US at least, it seems like everything has added salt. It's absurd how much salt is in a can of beans or soup. I do my best to stay away from premade or processed food.

    The saddest thing is that I don't salt my meals when I cook, at least not really. I love to cook but that really hampers the taste in many many things.

  • Eeeek!

  • What's the image when you have depression + ADHD, but with no deadlines and a complete and utter lack of executive function so you just lay on the floor all day and plead with yourself to at least eat something?

  • Once a week?? My god.

    I walk my 10 year old husky 3 miles a day at least, and we usually go to the dog park at least every other day. He's showing signs of aging, but he acts like a dog half his age.

  • I was diagnosed with a nasty rare condition at 26 and since then have been taking a minimum of 7 a day.

    However my highest is probably 21 a day. (I ran out of a medication I take at 1600mcg, and was supplemented with 200mcg pills for a week or so. So 2 doses a day of that is already 16 pills.)

  • I played the whole game through with multiplayer between me and my partner. It might be better now, but at the time, all of the danger squids were completely inert, so it made it much easier to get deeper and progress further without fear.

    Otherwise, it was a total blast and a great time. Excellent game.

  • Buffs don't stack is what's stopping things. You can have a few bonuses, but you'll only ever take the best of those types. So you can have an item bonus, a status bonus, and a circumstance bonus.

    Item bonuses are pretty straightforward.

    Status bonuses are typically from spells, so Guidance, Athletic Rush, etc.

    Circumstance bonuses are a little harder to pin down because they can be finicky and decided by the GM. But it's typically an environmental effect. Strong winds at your back give you a +2 circumstance bonus to Tumble Through maybe.

    So say you have a striking rune, Guidance, and a circumstance bonus to give you more, that's generally looking at +1+1+2. So that is very good, having a +4 to hit.

    But honestly, Pathfinder is built for tactics like that and encourages them. Flanking, frightened, slowed, sickened, prone, off-guard, etc. All of the penalties you can stack on an enemy are there for a reason, and being able to take advantage of that tactically is all part of the game. Assuming you have a good GM.

    So yeah, make a party of bard bard bard fighter and see where it gets you. I guarantee it's not optimal, but it'd be fun.

  • I work with computers to map things.

    Across my various jobs in this field, the days were usually varied but fairly busy.

    I worked for a government agency that would map abandoned mines and locations of mishaps to better understand what kind of environmental issues were posed. This involved meetings with hydrologists, miners, drone pilots, and field workers. It also had some field visits, itself.

    Another one, I worked for a city's outreach program and I often was in meetings explaining what I could do, and then I'd have to gather maps and data to put together the product they wanted.

    For another job, I had to cross reference a ton of city and county data to find land lots that were large enough for a developer to potentially purchase and then build housing on. This included looking at zoning laws and reading a ton of documentation about new zoning and votes for such a thing. Also included learning about what each category of zoning meant.

    Currently I work for an energy company and it's varied in a lot of ways. My day to day is never the same and is kind complicated to the average bear.

    Are there renter friendly ceiling fans?

    I've seen some that can potentially be fit into a recessed light, but I'd have to do some research to figure out how to know if the cans are attached to studs. Beyond that, I can't seem to find anything. Anyone have ideas or tips?

    Thanks for the shoe recommendations

    A while back I asked what kinds of shoes might work for me and there was a lot of discussion about barefoot shoes. Well, I found a small local sports store that physically sells Lems and I went to try some on.

    Wow. These are the best and most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I got them about a month ago at this point and I have probably put 2-7 miles on them every day and according to my Fitbit, that's nearing 100 miles and they're still the most comfortable shoes ever.

    So thanks, community! I'm super happy I asked !

    Less sugary soda? (US)

    I have a real addiction to soda and I desperately need to cut back at least on the sugar.

    My problem is, is that the zero sugar ones - whatever sweetener is used hurts my throat (and tastes awful), and same goes for the diet versions. I could force myself to drink bubbly or La Croix, but knowing myself, that's only going to cause an awful rebound soon enough. So I've been trying to find alternatives that don't break the bank. Poppi is fine and I've tried other low sugar bottles from online stores here and there. That's expensive, though.

    So I guess has anyone tried to cut sugar in other ways? I have tried watering things down and I've tried using just sparkling water to keep the carbonation but water things down. I have also tried sparkling water and powdered drink mixes and that is truly awful, imo. I haven't tried mixing a Soda Zero with a Soda (regular) and I wonder if that would help? At least to begin sort of a transition?

    I dunno. I'm babbling at this point. I know it's mostly

    For US folks, is right now a good time to buy a house?

    Since the election I've kinda buried my head in the sand to try and stay sane, so I'm not sure what projections are looking like for the real estate market. Unfortunately I need to move pretty ASAP and I'm having the worst luck with rentals.

    So, anyone have any advice or an idea of the outlook in the next few months?

    People with wide or flat feet - what are your favorite shoes?

    I've got heart problems which means my feet are pretty swollen, so normal shoes aren't really comfortable anymore. I've been wearing Alterras and I love them and the wide toe box, but the wide sizes are only in a boring color. So I'm looking for suggestions from you lovely folks.

    Can a laptop docking station be used on a KVM switch?

    I can't find an actual answer anywhere.

    I'm trying to declutter my desk and a KVM switch sounds like the right way to go. I have two monitors that I use for work/play, but I'm having trouble figuring out if the output from my work laptop dock would be okay to input into the KVM to then output to dual monitors.

    Anyone got a clue or has any experience with this?

    What are the scariest horror movies?

    I love horror but apparently I don't vibe with a lot of recommendations I find online.

    I'd seen so much hype about Event Horizon and I absolutely hated it and didn't find it scary. I just watched Late Night With the Devil and whole it was definitely enjoyable, it wasn't the least but frightening. I also just watched Let the Right One In and really didn't like it. It also was not a horror movie in my opinion.

    I will say one of my favorites is Sinister or the first Conjuring. Sinister for the stomach twisting dread and suspence throughout and Conjuring for the same.

    So, what movies do you find to be the scariest?

    Relationship Advice @lemmy.world
    Suck_on_my_Presence @lemmy.world

    How do you say you want a divorce?

    I'm really stuck. I've been unhappy for years and we've done couple's therapy and tried to reconnect, but it's just not enough.

    I have a bad habit of feeling guilty and responsible for everything and I just can't see a future where I hurt my partner so badly. I don't know how to sever myself from the relationship and alllllll of the stuff and responsibilities. My partner slacked off when it came to college internships so they've been unemployed for years, and now finally found a fast food job. But that means that if I leave, they're done for. They can't pay the mortgage alone, nevertheless the bills or food. They also mentioned in our therapy that their greatest fear is divorce and I don't know if that's because they're still so attached to me or if it's the fear of having to make it on their own.

    How do I uproot their entire life over my unhappiness? That just doesn't seem like something I could possibly do... but I can't stay here, I'm withering away.

    Help?

    Are there any climatologists in the room? What is your job like? What do you do? How were your studies?

    I'm thinking of going in to get my masters in climatology and I want to know everything from the mouths of those that do the work.

    I don't have a degree in meteorology, but I was a weather forecaster for a number of years, mostly focusing on aviation weather. I have a degree in geography /GIS and think those skills will help with research and such. I really really really love weather and want to be part of it.

    So... Can anyone offer insights?
