I mostly use Gemini's Deep research for historical stuff (for work) or music mixing history (hobby). I've just discovered that there is a paid DR function in Ai Studio. How different is it from Gemini's? Are the results better? Maybe longer outputs?

Asking because someone told me that platforms as Reddit and FB will show the post to more people if the file is directly uploaded on the platform, while posting an outside link will be shown to less people. Is it true?

Normally I paste a youtube link of my song and that gives me a bit of a metric: I play extreme metal and I usually get 40-60 views of each song the weekend I'm posting it, but I recently uploaded a video to FB/Reddit and I really don't know how many people has llistened to it.

What's your preference on this?

TL:DR: My partner is, on one hand a clean and hygienic person; on the other, her room is literally filled with trash. What to do?

First, I should start saying that my partner’s mom was a hoarder. I’m a M45, she’s F43 and we met about three years ago. We hit it off real soon, she came to live with me in a city apartment I was renting, stayed there for a year together, everything was (and is)  great: we don’t argue, communicate well, have experiences in long term relationships, are best friends, like the same stuff… I’ve honestly never been in a better relationship.

About a year into the relationship, her mom died in a freak bicycle accident. My partner didn’t have contact with her family for years because her dad was violent and her mom was depressed, which made her into a hoarder. So when she died, I volunteered and helped clean a 3 storey country house where she lived. It was really tough, a regular hoarder home ranging from rooms full of useless stuff collected from the street to a kitchen that made you sick. 

So some time ago, after the will stuff was sorted out, we inherited that very house. We had it professionally re-cleaned. I painted every wall and door, changed the floors, threw away all the furniture and now we have a very nice house to live in. We both work at home, so I have a small office and she has a bigger one. This is where the problems start.

Even living with me, I had noticed that she was kinda messy. I did not think much of it at the time. I’m a regular tidy guy who understands that a house is never really perfect and one doesn’t have to fret about it, and much less argue over it. We share cleaning duties, housework, etc, so the common areas are clean and livable. It’s true that she tends to leave stuff around randomly, so I’m usually picking up after her. But her office… boy.

Her office is the reason I’m asking for advice. It’s not only messy, it’s borderline hoarder-like. With this I mean that she doesn’t pick up stuff in the street, but she finds it real difficult to throw away stuff, including trash. With this I mean that she’ll keep every plastic bottle of water (so that at some point there may be 5-10 empty bottles lying around), every bag (“may be useful later”), the paper bags from the cats litter sand (“I’ll find a use for them”), and specially tons of clothes lying around, from clean, to used. Her working table doesn’t have an inch free, it’s all covered by useless stuff which could be in drawers and boxes. And it comes to a point in which the floor is totally littered by clothes, bags, bottles and whatnot.

So far, our policy has been that we’ll both clean the common areas and there’s no need to remind each other about it, so we’ll each manage our offices. Mine is okay, hers is the aforementioned mess. Which she’ll only tidy up like every 4-6 months, after I nag her to do it (and I hate nagging, since we’re both adults) and help her, so I end up doing most of the cleaning. 

What’s strange is that she washes her hands frequently (maybe too frequently?). Every time she touches food, something remotely dusty or even stuff such as a broom or a sponge, she washes her hands. 

To top it, she has asthma, so working around dusty clothes, furniture and all that stuff is not really good for her… but she doesn’t seem to be psychologically able do do everyday tidying up and cleaning.

Today I’m writing this post because yesterday we found a tick in her office. Turns out she petted some cats on the street and probably brought it home. So today about 10am I asked her to clean her room at 10am, which I shouldn’t have to do. She agreed, but it’s been four hours and she hasn’t done a thing. It’s like somehow it’s psychologically difficult for her to clean up and throw all that stuff.

To sum it all up, she’s a perfectly normal, clean, caring, responsible adult in every area of her life, except for her leaving stuff around and specially her office. How should I/we deal with this? How to get her to keep it clean and tidy, when asking has not worked? Is it possible that her hoarder mom has had an influence? Is therapy advisable for this cases? How to deal with this like adults? 

PS: Just don’t tell me to leave her, as Reddit usually does, I love her very much.

I'm wondering because the amp sims delays and reverbs sound great when playing alone, but i always find it difficult to make them work well in busy mixes (specially metal) and I end up using something like Little Plate or Little Radiator. What is your experience?
