The case is solved in the end when House figures out the mobster had a deficiency but it didn't explain his high estrogen. The high estrogen is explained by the fact the mobster was closeted and taking pills bought from a Chinese website as an aphrodisiac...but that's not what estrogen pills do? If anything it would lower his libido, he'd basically be putting himself through HRT.

Is the implication that the Chinese website just sells it as a snake oil without any proof? Because if not that's just a weird way to explain that a character is gay, gay men generally don't take estrogen...

Anteayer se me actualizo el Iphone y me pide la cuenta de Apple, no tengo la contraseña. Probé de todo para resetearla y no puedo. Buscando online lo que me queda es mandar un correo con el comprobante de que lo compré a Apple (no lo tengo, lo compre de segunda mano) o ir a una tienda de Apple (acá no hay).

Basicamente si no puedo resetearlo tengo un pisapapeles carisimo en el cuarto, aunque tenga el correo de la cuenta y el numero de telefono no puedo hacer nada. Hay alguna forma de resetearlo más "pirata"? Algun programa que se le pueda instalar o algo parecido?

Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post this.

My sister (34F) had delusions almost two years ago (gang stalking, cameras in her room, etc). I wasn’t home when it got worse but I heard all about it afterwards. She got involuntarily committed and got diagnosed with psychosis, after a week of treatment she got better and got released and prescribed halo and diazepam and was supposed to follow treatment with her psychiatrist. She took the meds for less than a month before quitting and she never went back to psychiatric treatment.

At the beginning of this year she decided to move to the capital and go job hunting, luckily she got a job opportunity just days before moving. She did her job well but was always anxious about getting fired despite no evidence of that. She’s also under a lot of stress because her job doesn’t pay her enough to make ends meet, my parents send her money every month so she can sustain herself.

Well apparently now she’s been spiraling. I don’t speak with her directly because our relationship has been very strained these past few years but my mother keeps me informed whether I ask her or not. Apparently she’s been taking very poor care of herself and her apartment. She flooded her bathroom and refuses to clean it, and she burnt her electric cooking appliance yesterday. She gained a lot of weight even though she was already overweight, my mom tells me she sends her a selfie every day and she can’t bear to look at her because she’s “deformed”. Her anxiety is turning into paranoia and she’s convinced that something very bad is going to happen to her or us back home. She calls everyday and I can hear in her voice she talks in the way she did just before her psychosis, like singing childhood songs or repeating to my mom that she loves her over and over again (she seems to regress in a way). It’s all pointing to her going back to psychosis and it’s complicated by the fact she’s over 600km away.

This all has been really hard on my mother, just a few days ago she got home from work crying because she doesn’t know what to do. She's scared my sister will run out of her apartment and go missing because apparently that’s something the psychiatrist told her could happen last time. I'm not sure about that but I think it’s likely she could hurt herself, by accident or not.

On monday I have an appointment with our insurance's psychiatric commitee to start therapy for unrelated reasons. I know the same psychiatrist that's going to be there is the one that treated my sister, so I'm considering asking my mom to come with me so she can ask her for guidance on what to do. At the same time I don’t know if that’s ideal, because I’m going there for me, not for my sister. I feel its on both my parents to act, specially because last time they didn’t take action until my sister was fully out of reality. But I don’t know, if something bad were to happen to her I wouldn’t want to look back and wonder if I could’ve done something to prevent it. It’s all just a fucking mess from beginning to end honestly.

Last year got my second third molar removed on my jaw, now it was time for the top one. I always get kinda health anxious around this time even if they have always healed fine. It’s almost a ritual at this point. I get it pulled, I buy the gauze and painkillers, I check and double check and triple check the guides on how to make sure it heals properly, and I resign myself to a diet of mashed potatoes, soup, and similar for the next few days.

Honestly it’s kinda comfy in a weird way. It’s also a relief, because I know that once the wound heals I won’t have to worry about that tooth anymore. Thing is that it has to heal, and I always worry about getting a dry socket or an infection even if it’s never happened to me before. I read that the top ones heal faster and are less likely to get dry socket so I have that to look forward to. I have a second third molar still under the gum that hasn’t caused me pain or discomfort so I'll have to ask my dentist if it's best to get it pulled once I heal or if it’s best to leave it alone as long as it doesn’t get impacted or cause pain.

So if anyone is reading this getting a wisdom tooth pulled for the first time and feels anxious about dry socket, I totally get it but remember that chances are low. As long as you take care of it properly more likely than not it will heal properly.

like it's ChatGPT but it just gives you misinfo no matter what. Whatever you say it just hallucinates and pulls an answer out of its backdoor. Like for example you ask it what was the highest charting album from 1987 and instead of saying Bad by Michael Jackson it just tells you it was some obscure album from a Swedish pop singer or something. Has anyone made something like this?

Like I saw you as a child beat my sister on the floor in front of me, why are you acting all cute now like you don’t have a violent bone in your body? I know it shouldn’t but it pisses me off so much

Feel it’s so obvious but I never really thought about it.

My dad's got an old laptop that he got Windows 11 installed to by a coworker and he's run into a lot of problems because it doesn't run well on it. I want to suggest to him installing Linux but he isn't too tech savy, what's the best distro that's easy to use for someone used to Windows that also runs well on low-end computers?

or do I still need to get one?
