Does anyone else use this app for discovery and then listen to stations within Apple Music?
I kind of like having all my music listening in one app. I only recently discovered Radio Garden and think it's so cool for finding new stuff, but I'm trying to decide on where I should actually listen.
Question about Banatrol Plus and if it is a good idea for my specific symptoms.
I don't really know what is wrong with me, but I've been seeing a gastro doc for decades without any luck improving my symptoms. Lots of tests and lots of medications, probiotics, fibers, elimination diets, etc.
My symptoms are mainly bowel frequency and urgency. A good day might be 3-4 trips to the bathroom and a bad day, which is pretty common, might be 7-10. I just never feel like I'm done going, even though most of the time it is formed and looks normal on the Bristol stool chart. I do get loose stools, but it's not a daily thing like the other problem is. This makes my life very difficult.
I got an add for Banatrol Plus tonight, and while I see some posts about it on this sub, I don't see a ton. It's rare for me to see some thing that's been around for a while I haven't tried or heard of.
It seems like this product might not be great for my problem and is mainly used to firm up loose stool and not reduce frequency and urgency. Can anyone let me know if I am understanding that right?
It would help if I knew what the root of my problem is (food intolerance, gut-brain connection issue, bad microbiome, etc...) but I have never been able to pin that down.
I feel like I can't see what's going on half the time in this DLC
It was bad in the base game, but the DLC feels so uncomfortable to play because I can hardly see what is happening on screen. Even with the brightness turned up beyond where it's recommended. This has been my experience in Switch 2 handheld and docked mode.
Has anyone else felt this way? Is this just a Switch problem?
Does this look cancerous? Red spot on thigh that is flat and not painful or itchy.
This is a round spot on my inner thigh. Red, flat, not itchy or painful.
How do you access the DLC?
I beat the main game when it came out, and now I'm interested in playing the DLC. Do I continue from my main file, or is the only way to play to start a new files and click the first chapter of the DLC?
Beli is almost perfect for what I'm looking for. Here is what I wish it had:
My girlfriend and I keep a spreadsheet of the restaurants we've been to together and the ones we want to go to (there's a column for if we've been yet or not). When a restaurant closes, we change the name to red font. We also have a field where we can leave little notes about what we liked. It's been a fun way to track stuff and it feels like both a journal and a to-do list.
For a while, I really wanted to simplify things and just switch to an Apple Maps guide. The main problem with that, though, is the listings aren't permanent. If a restaurant closes, they either stay indefinitely or sometimes vanish altogether. I don't want to forget about the places we've been to that aren't around anymore.
In a similar way, I wish we could use Beli, but as far as I figure right now, there are about three things missing:
- Legacy restaurants. Like I said, I wish we could still track restaurants that have closed within the app. It would maybe work if they had some kind of legacy badge on them and didn't contribute to the rankings. This is the main thing missing.
- Shared lists. Ideally, my girlfriend and I could maintain our own rankings of places we've been, but also have a shared list of places we've been to together and another for places we want to go together.
- Data export. Any app I use for journaling purposes like this needs some kind of way to export data in case the app shuts down in the future or something. Not being able to do that is a little odd, especially when they have an import option.
Does anyone know if there are options I missed for any of this stuff? Or maybe if they have plans to incorporate any of this in the future? Is there another app that seems like it would fit my needs better, or should we just keep at it with the spreadsheet?

Is this better for listening to radio than Apple Music?
I just discovered this app, but I also pay for Apple Music and noticed a lot of the stations are also available to stream on Apple Music. Is this app better for listening to radio?
Have there been any Switch 2 performance upgrades since launch?
I just noticed the game updated on my Switch Home Screen, and I guess it's because there is DLC coming out tomorrow? I'm excited to dive into that, but I'm wondering if there have been any performance patches or improvements since launch. I remember being kind of underwhelmed with how it performed and thinking they could have used the systems power better.
Question about a neighbor's foreclosure
I live in a judicial foreclosure state (Louisville, KY). I have a neighbor who has been causing a lot of disruption and recently found out he is involved in a foreclosure case. Here is what I have learned about it so far from other neighbors and looking at the public records I can find online.
- His mother was in the house before and died last year. He now occupies the house.
- A lis pendens was filed by JP Morgan Chase in Florida in December. I guess it was originally against her estate and unknown heirs, but this neighbor currently living in the house was added by name in an amended lis pendens in March.
- I called the courthouse to ask about it, and all they could really add over the phone was that there are warning order attorney's involved and multiple cross claims.
- I didn't realize on Courtnet you can search by case. I learned today that this neighbor is listed "individually and as a cross-defendent." Louisville Metro is also listed as a cross-defendent.
I'm wondering if there is anything else anyone could infer from this about the timeline I'm looking at for some kind of resolution here. I am kind of bracing for the worst from what I've read that this guy will be in the house for years before there is some kind of forced sale.

Is this drug's withdrawal really that unique?
Trying to decide if I should start at a low dose, and I feel like half the conversation on this sub is about how bad the withdrawal is or people looking for advice going off of it.
I understand drugs like this can have bad withdrawal, but I don't remember reading as much about it for other drugs I've taken. For context, I have stopped Lexapro about four times (once cold turkey), and I also stopped amitriptyline after four months of using it. I had withdrawal every time for at most a couple weeks, and it definitely sucked but it went away.
Comparatively, I mirtazapine worse than lexapro or amitriptyline for withdrawal? I'm just trying to figure out if it is uniquely bad since it seems to dominate the online conversation and it's weirding me out.
NPR Tinsel Tales: Does anyone know if this was ever released in a podcast feed?
I have good memories of listening to this around Christmas back in the mid 2000s. I was able to find it online but not as a podcast feed I can pull up in Overcast.

Does anyone know if a podcast feed exists anywhere?
A couple questions about fodzyme...
I think I'm finally at a point where I want to give digestive enzymes a shot for my IBS-D, and this is the one that comes up the most when I search.
Can you open a packet and just dump the powder in your mouth and swallow with water before you eat? The idea of sprinkling it on food, especially at a restaurant, is very weird to me.
Has anyone tried this? If so, what were your experiences?
Has anyone had success with this drug for IBS?
I'm about to start a low dose (7.5) to see if it helps with my IBS-D and can help reduce the number of times I have to go to the bathroom. I'm just hoping to learn what I should expect.
What exactly is Atrantil? Anyone had luck with it?
I did a search on here and don't see any recent posts about it. I had someone recommend it in passing, and I'm confused about what it is. I have IBS-D that manifests as frequent, urgent bowel movements and upset stomach that really hurt my quality of life.
Has anyone had IBS-D relief with digestive enzymes?
In a nutshell, I'm in my 30s and have had IBS-D most of my life. It manifests as frequent, urgent trips to the bathroom and general unsettled stomach feeling. I have seen 3 gastro doctors, had 2 colonoscopies, a million other tests, and tried just about every mainstream treatment and elimination diet to no success.
One of the few things left I haven't tried is digestive enzymes, but there are so many options out there that it's overwhelming. It's also kind of outside the realm of gastroenterology, so my doctor said she is okay with me experimenting but she doesn't have much of an opinion to contribute on it. We tested my pancreatic enzyme levels which were normal, and that's kind of where gastroenterology stops in this department.
In addition to being overwhelmed with so many types and options, I also read a lot online about them making symptoms worse or moving the timing of symptoms but not getting rid of them.
I'm curious if anyone on here has had any meaningful benefit from them and if so what kind you take. I'd prefer it be a pill and would be perfectly happy to take a pill with every meal for the rest of my life if it meant I functioned like a normal person.
Is there an easier way to access daily word count than going into the menu bar?
I'd like to quickly be able to glance and see how many words I've written in one sitting without doing math. Right now, I usually go up to project, and then writing history, which opens a window where I can find that number, but I'm curious if there is a way with a little less friction. It's not a big deal, but it would be nice if I could maybe pin it somewhere.
Is there a way to find information on a specific radio station?
I'm really confused about how radio stations work on Apple Music. For example, I can type in the name of a local radio station and it pops up (through iHeart for some reason) and I can listen to the stream.
So when I search for a genre and click "stations," I kind of assume a lot, if not most of these results, are the streams for terrestrial radio stations.
I found one recently that I like. It lists it as coming from TuneIn. I'm just curious if there is any way to find out what this radio station is and where it comes from. Like what station is this on in what city?
For what it's worth, it's called JAZZ RADIO PIANO JAZZ from TuneIn.
