INFP is there an up side here?

So, just for fun I took the first test at similarminds and it told me, quote, "Your Jung type is most likely INFP (a[n] emotionally unstable version of the type)" I... kinda find that insulting. My big 5 type was RLUAI which when I read it made me sound like a total waste of life. It was all true, but they didn't need to say it like that! Hahahaha! Is there any real upside to being this introverted? I mean when I'm alone in my man cave and allowed to read, think, dream and write I am pretty sure I am more content than almost everyone I know, so that is an up-side. But it sucks being poor all the time. I kinda feel like I drew the losing card being an INFP.

Got no sleep last night, I just woke up after from the after-test nap, and now wondering what to do...

So I didn't get an ounce of sleep last night. Nervous, people next door were making noises, etc etc... I wasn't anticipating this cos I slept just fine for the September LSAT and I'm not usually a nervous wreck like this. I was beginning to feel tired when the test started, I was very tired/dizzy by the end of the test. Especially after the 15 minute break, I was losing steam and couldn't comprehend some of the questions very well. Worst of all I have zero idea how I did on the test overall. I got a 170 on the September LSAT and I'd like to score at least a 172 this time, but I certainly don't want to score worse than I did before. The good news is that I got the test that started with the LGs, and I think I aced that section. I might have bombed the rest. What should I do? Cancel or not to cancel...?

Compiling all of the imgur reaction links, copypastas, and the like I've saved. Feel free to use.

Comment with your own and I'll add them. http://i.imgur.com/NQz6Q23.gif It should be noted that I've upvoted every single person who's disagreed with me here, as far as I know. That said. In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area. An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test. My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it. I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan). I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is. Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories. I'm a good enough writer that I'm writing a book and so far everybody who's read any of it has said it was really good and plausible to expect to have published. And that's not just, like, me and family members, that counts strangers on the Internet. I've heard zero negative appraisal of it so far; people have critiqued it, but not insulted it. I don't know if that will suffice as evidence that I'm intelligent. I'm done with it, though, because I'd rather defend my maturity, since it's what you've spent the most time attacking. The following are some examples of my morals and ethical code. I believe firmly that everybody deserves a future. If we were to capture Hitler at the end of WWII, I would be against executing him. In fact, if we had any way of rehabilitating him and knowing that he wasn't just faking it, I'd even support the concept of letting him go free. This is essentially because I think that whoever you are in the present is a separate entity from who you were in the past and who you are in the future, and while your present self should take responsibility for your past self's actions, it shouldn't be punished for them simply for the sake of punishment, especially if the present self regrets the actions of the past self and feels genuine guilt about them. I don't believe in judgement of people based on their personal choices as long as those personal choices aren't harming others. I don't have any issue with any type of sexuality whatsoever (short of physically acting out necrophilia, pedophilia, or other acts which have a harmful affect on others - but I don't care what a person's fantasies consist of, as long as they recognize the difference between reality and fiction and can separate them). I don't have any issue with anybody over what type of music they listen to, or clothes they wear, etc. I know that's not really an impressive moral, but it's unfortunately rare; a great many people, especially those my age, are judgmental about these things. I love everyone, even people I hate. I wish my worst enemies good fortune and happiness. Rick Perry is a vile, piece of shit human being, deserving of zero respect, but I wish for him to change for the better and live the best life possible. I wish this for everyone. I'm pretty much a pacifist. I've taken a broken nose without fighting back or seeking retribution, because the guy stopped punching after that. The only time I'll fight back is if 1) the person attacking me shows no signs of stopping and 2) if I don't attack, I'll come out worse than the other person will if I do. In other words, if fighting someone is going to end up being more harmful to them than just letting them go will be to me, I don't fight back. I've therefore never had a reason to fight back against anyone in anything serious, because my ability to take pain has so far made it so that I'm never in a situation where I'll be worse off after a fight. If I'm not going to get any hospitalizing injuries, I really don't care. The only exception is if someone is going after my life. Even then, I'll do the minimum amount of harm to them that I possibly can in protecting myself. If someone points a gun at me and I can get out of it without harming them, I'd prefer to do that over killing them. I consider myself a feminist. I don't believe in enforced or uniform gender roles; they may happen naturally, but they should never be coerced into happening unnaturally. As in, the societal pressure for gender roles should really go, even if it'll turn out that the majority of relationships continue operating the same way of their own accord. I treat women with the same outlook I treat men, and never participate in the old Reddit "women are crazy" circlejerk, because there are multiple women out there and each have different personalities just like there are multiple men out there and each with different personalities. I don't think you do much of anything except scare off the awesome women out there by going on and on about the ones who aren't awesome. That doesn't mean I look for places to victimize women, I just don't believe it's fair to make generalizations such as the one about women acting like everything's OK when it's really not (and that's a particularly harsh example, because all humans do that). I'm kind of tired of citing these examples and I'm guessing you're getting tired of reading them, if you've even made it this far. In closing, the people who know me in real life all respect me, as do a great many people in the Reddit brony community, where I spend most of my time and where I'm pretty known for being helpful around the community. A lot of people in my segment of the community are depressed or going through hard times, and I spend a lot of time giving advice and support to people there. Yesterday someone quoted a case of me doing this in a post asking everyone what their favorite motivational/inspirational quote was, and that comment was second to the top, so I guess other people agreed (though, granted, it was a pretty low-traffic post, only about a dozen competing comments). And, uh, I'm a pretty good moderator. All that, and I think your behavior in this thread was totally assholish. So what do you think, now that you at least slightly know me? http://imgur.com/3dwxmrF.gif http://i.imgur.com/LMXTiQJ.gif http://i.imgur.com/gAGoeVk.png http://imgur.com/DWe5Stk.gif http://i.imgur.com/dsx9Z5T.png http://i.imgur.com/jSLBkWZ.gif http://i.imgur.com/W556S0X.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tdHeY.gif http://i.imgur.com/r2dOYnT.gif ░░░░░░░░░░░░▄▐░░░░░░ ░░░░░░▄▄▄░░▄██▄░░░░░ ░░░░░▐▀█▀▌░░░░▀█▄░░░ ░░░░░▐█▄█▌░░░░░░▀█▄░ ░░░░░░▀▄▀░░░▄▄▄▄▄▀▀░ ░░░░▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀░░░░░░░ ░░░█▀▄▄▄█░▀▀░░░░░░░░ ░░░▌░▄▄▄▐▌▀▀▀░░░░░░░ ▄░▐░░░▄▄░█░▀▀░░░░░░░ U HAVE BEEN SPOOKED BY THE ▀█▌░░░▄░▀█▀░▀░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░▄▄▐▌▄▄░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░▀███▀█░▄░░░░░ ░░░░░░▐▌▀▄▀▄▀▐▄░░░░░ SPOOKY SKILENTON ░░░░░▐▀░░░░░░▐▌░░░░░ ░░░░░░█░░░░░░░░█░░░░ ░░░░░▐▌░░░░░░░░░█░░░ ░░░░░█░░░░░░░░░░▐▌░░ SEND THIS TO 6 PPL OR SKELINTONS WILL EAT YOU http://i.imgur.com/6OAe2l7.gif http://i.imgur.com/aiEJH.gif FUSION HAAA (☞゚∀゚)☞*☜(゚ヮ゚☜) ▄▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▄▄ ▄▀▀ ▀▄ ▄▀ ▀▄ █ ▀▄ ▐▌ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▐▌ █ ▄▄▄▄ ▀▀▀▀▀ █ ▐▌ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▌ █ ▄▄▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▄ █ █ ▀ ▐ ▐▌ ▐▌ ▐▀▀██▄ ▄▄▄ ▐▌ █ ▀▀▀ ▀▀██ █ ▐▌ ▄ ▌ █ ▐▌ ▐ ▀▄ █ █ ▌ ▐▀ ▄▀ ▐▌ ▐▌ ▀▄ ▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▄▀ ▐▌ ▐▀▄ █ ▐▌ ▌ ▀▄ ▀▀▀▀▀▀ █ █ ▀ ▀▄ ▄▀ ▐▌ ▀▄ ▄▀ ▄▀ ▄▀ ▀▀▀▀█▀ ▀ ▄▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄ http://i.imgur.com/3SzVM9J.gif http://i.imgur.com/Htpbf6n.gif http://i.imgur.com/JK6586X.gif http://i.imgur.com/KS1vB4a.gif http://imgur.com/A5DzkcM.gif http://imgur.com/zkoVYm4.gif http://imgur.com/yQSctz3.gif http://i.imgur.com/gfGdXBn.jpg Your mother jerks off pigs. She gets down on her knees and crawls through the pigpiss mud slop and snuggles up to the pig, her fingers tracing along it’s belly until she finds it’s cock. She begins tugging and stroking as her twat moistens, her breasts swelling and her nipples begin to stick out like erasers on a fresh #2 pencil. She grunts with satisfaction as the pig begins eagerly thrusting into her hand, her grip now tightening to maintain control of the pig’s greasy corkscrew cock. She lowers her head to watch the cock work in her hand, groans with satisfaction and begins working her clit with her other muddy hand, her hips gyrating with the rhythm of the pig’s thrusting. “Oh fucking jesus god yes..” she gasps. She changes positions, still maintaining control of the feverishly thrusting cock as the pig’s squealing intensifies. She leans forward and with her lips almost touching the pig’s ear, she whispers your name and begins to shudder. She turns her attention again to the pigs swollen member rocking in her hand. She presses it between her hand and her face, the pig thrusting it against her cheeks as she drools. With a massive grunt and a high pitched squeal, the pig’s balls explode, beginning a massive shower of hot, sour pig jizz. You mother cups one hand under the fountain of steaming genetic material gathering it in her hand as the thrusting comes to an end. The pig shudders and begins to walk to the trough of slop in the corner of it’s pen, but your mother tackles it to the ground. She lifts it’s tail and smears the handful of pig load into the pig’s own fetid butthole, turning flakes of crusty pig shit into a pigshit-pigjizz mud slop on the pigs ass. Now she tilts her head to the sky and screams your name, not once, not twice, but three times. She slams her face full force into the pig’s butthole and it’s wreath of shitsemen pudding, her tongue machine gun flicking the rim and then burying itself to the hilt inside the pig’s hot colon. Your mother works her tongue around the inside of the pigs ass, and then as a few incoherent syllables escaped her now brown lips, spurts of female ejaculate spurt from her pulsating cunt. Exhausted, she collapses in the mud, rolls over onto her back, and lights a cigarette. She takes one long drag, looks again to the sky, and speaks your name one last time before she drifts off to sleep. That’s your mom. Your mom does that. http://i.imgur.com/qi3xzf8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/lnZT7yH.gif http://i.imgur.com/OXBQcPa.gif http://i.imgur.com/i3eLl.gif http://imgur.com/8nwYFF5.gif http://i.imgur.com/FzMNY9x.gif http://i.imgur.com/w8fIA.gif http://i.imgur.com/Jnv6EeP.jpg Here is a picture drawn by ☐ son ☐ daughter ☐ mother ☐ father ☐ grandfather ☑ grandmother with ☐ autism ☐ new technology ☑ alzheimer's ☐ cancer ☐ multiple sclerosis ☐ muscular dystrophy Give me karma. http://i.imgur.com/dtV9F4p.jpg http://i.imgur.com/K0zDQdu.gif http://imgur.com/b632Hxi.gif http://i.imgur.com/58zOKye.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tyD6wAL.gif http://i.imgur.com/D10Af.gif http://i.imgur.com/MHuW96t.gif http://i.imgur.com/E0JWC3y.gif http://i.imgur.com/S53L2rv.gif http://i.imgur.com/XYdWe4y.gif http://i.imgur.com/Mwd7w.gif http://i.imgur.com/VUXEcdy.gif https://i.imgur.com/aAfLy0r.gif http://i.imgur.com/tJaBJjl.gif http://i.imgur.com/3zkLAgS.gif http://i.minus.com/im3qxD643Ku3H.gif http://i.imgur.com/syxjt2Z.gif http://i.imgur.com/fF68AzE.gif http://i.imgur.com/qo4VAj4.gif http://i.imgur.com/f7r3ds9.gif ░░░░░░▄▀▒▒▒▒░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒█ ░░░░░█▒▒▒▒░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒█ ░░░░█▒▒▄▀▀▀▀▀▄▄▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▄▄▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ░░▄▀▒▒▒▄█████▄▒█▒▒▒▒▒▒▒█▒▄█████▄▒█ ░█▒▒▒▒▐██▄████▌▒█▒▒▒▒▒█▒▐██▄████▌▒█ ▀▒▒▒▒▒▒▀█████▀▒▒█▒░▄▒▄█▒▒▀█████▀▒▒▒█ ▒▒▐▒▒▒░░░░▒▒▒▒▒█▒░▒▒▀▒▒█▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒█ ▒▌▒▒▒░░░▒▒▒▒▒▄▀▒░▒▄█▄█▄▒▀▄▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▌ ▒▌▒▒▒▒░▒▒▒▒▒▒▀▄▒▒█▌▌▌▌▌█▄▀▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▐ ▒▐▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▌▒▒▀███▀▒▌▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▌ ▀▀▄▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▌▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▐▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒█ ▀▄▒▀▄▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▐▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▄▄▄▄▒▒▒▒▒▒▄▄▀ ▒▒▀▄▒▀▄▀▀▀▄▀▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀░░░░▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▒▒▒▒▀▄▐▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▐ ░▄▄▄░░▄░░▄░▄░░▄░░▄░░░░▄▄░▄▄░░░▄▄▄░░░▄▄▄ █▄▄▄█░█▄▄█░█▄▄█░░█░░░█░░█░░█░█▄▄▄█░█░░░█ █░░░█░░█░░░░█░░░░█░░░█░░█░░█░█░░░█░█░░░█ ▀░░░▀░░▀░░░░▀░░░░▀▀▀░░░░░░░░░▀░░░▀░▀▄▄▄▀ http://i.imgur.com/j74SykU.gif http://i.imgur.com/i8SpBem.gif http://i.imgur.com/tsUPlpk.gif Rest in comments.

Brewers, how do you test your beer?

Short and to the point: What parameters do you test when brewing production beer? Test beers? Things like SRM, Plato, Calories, alcohol content, cell counts, attenuation, esters, anything else? Are there things you'd like to test but can't? Thanks in advance!

Main partition on external HDD stopped appearing but drive still works.

Hi! My external HDD stopped working today. I then went in disk management to see if the drive still works and it was there. My main partition still shows as healthy but the drive letter has disappeared and when I right clic on it the option to add a letter is greyed out. To test if the drive still worked I clicked on the 127 left unused on the disk and created a little partition with O: as the letter and it worked so the drive doesn't seems broken. I then tried to recover the data with recuva, but when I ask it to read the drive it says unable to determine file system type. Is there anything I can do to bring back this partition to life? If not is there a way to recover the data? Thanks!

How do i keep it up.

Hi all, been reading here for a while and see that you all seem quite supportive. My story is i got a DUI again and i am forced into counselling and have an had an alcohol tether on since August 4th of this year. Its coming off on December 16th (YAY!!!). Of course this has been all beneficial to me as it was time to stop drinking, as i was way way way out of control and realize that now. Yet i think when i get this tether off i'm gonna slip back, without the long arm of the law keeping this beast on a leash. Technically im not supposed to drink for 2 years on my probation, but i dont think they are going to test for it, and im a sneaky mischievous shit. Have any of you been through something like this?.. how did you do it?.. I would like to stay sober, as it is a growing experience, but i am bored, and very isolated from my usual social life. Its kind of hard to pick up new friends at 34, and i live alone, and its cold, and i bore fast, plus the holidays will bring all my old friends back to town for the month. Yet the money ill save will be fantastic.

[C#]Verbatim string literal in File path?

I don't really get this. Normally if i use OpenFileDialog , i will generally be given back something like this on the FileName property: string path = ""C:\\Users\\User\\SkyDrive\\Study Stuffs\\C and C++ development\\Comp Sci 322 - C Sharp\\Projects\\Main_UI_Older\\Test Case\\a test.xml"" This will work directly if i use it to create a new FileStream off it. I.E: FileStream my_fileStream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); // Works just fine. But this will refuse to work with WebClient.DownloadFile method. WebClient my_downloader = new WebClient(); my_downloader.DownloadFile("[URL HERE]", path); //Will not work. WebException I am forced to use the "@" in front of path inorder to get it working. Little bit of searching online left me scratching my head with "Verbatim String Literal". Can somebody explain this? And also why the file path (locally) is represented with double forward slash like that? I always thought we need one forward slash and that's it.

What to look for in a used 5th-gen Quattroporte?

Title says it all. I'm looking into buying a used 5th-gen QP, and I want to know what I should look out for. So far, I've determined I definitely want the ZF transmission because DuoSelect just sucks in terms of passenger comfort (I'm not buying this thing to win drag races). With that said, what are the typical weak spots of the 2006-2010 range (not sure yet whether I like the "facelift" front better)? Any service bulletins or recalls I should look for compliance with? Any maintenance I should make sure to have been done? Any typical spots on the car I should look for rust? Any particular noises I should pay attention to when test-driving? I've heard about the cam variators being problematic. Should I have them replaced right away or look for a car with them replaced already?

Keto Brownies - My Own Recipe

On Thanksgiving I experimented with making brownies. I wasn't quite happy with them, so tonight I gave it another shot and I was blown away by how they came out. I figured I'd share with everyone here. Ingredients: 3/4 Cup Almond Flour (or Almond Meal) 1/4 Cup Coconut Flour 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder 3/4 Cup Cocoa Powder (Unsweetened) 1/4 Cup Hershey Special Dark Cocoa Powder (Unsweetened) 1 Cup Almond Milk 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract 3 Eggs 4 oz Cream Cheese 4 Tablespoons Butter 1 Cup Swerve (Erythritrol) 4 Squares of Unsweetened Baker's Chocolate Dump all of the dry ingredients (expect for the Baker's Chocolate) into a large mixing bowl. Melt the butter in a microwave for 1 minute and add it along with the cream cheese, eggs and liquids. Use an electric mixer until everything has been evenly mixed together. Chop up the baker's chocolate with a knife into as many small pieces as you can and fold it into the batter. Lightly grease an 8" square baking pan (I used butter) and pour all of the batter into the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for roughly 30 minutes. Since everyone's ovens are different, do the knife/toothpick test to check for doneness. Let cool for at least an hour and enjoy an amazing, moist, chocolatey, low carb brownie or two.

I've just come here to wallow in self pity for a bit if thats ok?

Uhh... Where to start. I'm just having a shitty time. Shitty shitty shitty and I'm so fed up! I'm not the kind of person to feel sorry for myself . . But I don't know anyone on Reddit so I'm making the exception for you guys so I can vent! I have Chronic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. I've had it my whole life. I havent been able to work in the last FOUR years since my last meds wore off. They've been trying me on everything possible since and only just this recent one works however.... The medication I need is super strong immune suppressants. So they make my arthritis better but makes me extremely vulnerable to infection/bugs etc. I am supposed to have a drip every 6 weeks but because I keep getting infections I have only had 3 in the last year. Recently I developed (for the third time this year) a cyst under my right armpit and had to have it surgically removed. The doctors are now saying that,even though the medication kills my immune system, I shouldn't be getting this ill all the time and so they think there is something underlying and have send off for loads of test including HIV.... :| (I also take low dose chemo and steroids which do the same thing and steroids make my face fat as fuck which I HATE!!) some days I cant even walk or wipe my own arse and to top all of this off I am now on my fucking period too.... I cant work out where the pain is coming from anymore or what hurts the most. I cant sleep for worrying that I might have cancer or fucking AIDS. I'm a mess. Trying to hold myself together is getting harder and harder. I hate this because I've always been such a tough cookie. My lady problems probably aren't helping.... I'm 25 and my whole life I havent had a fucking break. My early twenties are lost, just gone. I just needed to let it out somewhere. My mind is racing but I cant even say with what exactly. Just everything! I just want a good Christmas. I know people have it worse. And things could absolutely be worse for me but its such a drag. I just want to curl up and go to sleep forever right now :( Thanks for reading x

Pretty sure the 'retry thumb' button does not (always) work

I submitted [this post to r/webgames](http://www.reddit.com/r/WebGames/comments/2o9pov/unique_anagramfinding_game_panicgram/) and later became upset that there was no thumbnail showing up by the link. I researched how to add a thumbnail and added the meta tag: Clicking, 'retry thumb' did (and does) nothing. As a test I tried resubmitting the game to the subreddit, and the thumbnail appeared perfectly, but then the post was deleted since it was a repost, so I have no evidence. Bottom line: 'retry thumb' needs to re-scrape the site but instead is doing nothing

Low MCH and MCHC - Should I be concerned? What could possibly cause low values?

**Info** * 25 yr old, Female * 5 foot 3 inches, 90 pounds (I do not suffer from anorexia or other conditions; I have always been small.) * MCH, MCHC has been low since I was 20. I recently had a CBC w/ Diff test performed and everything checked out in normal range except my MCH and MCHC. These have always fallen below the acceptable range every time I have had this test completed. My Dr says that it is nothing to worry about, but I am worried if this could explain why I have low energy, sometimes feel like I experience hypoglycemic-like symptoms. **Test Results** * MCV, 81 fL [79-97] * WBC, 5.8 x10E3/uL [3.4-10.8] * RBC, 4.97 x10E6/uL [3.77-5.28] * Hemoglobin, 12.6 g/dL [11.1-15.9] * **MCH, 25.4 pg LOW [26.6-33.0]** * **MCHC, 31.3 g/dL LOW [31.5-35.7]** * Platelets 310 x10E3/uL [130-379] * RDW, 14.4 % [12.3-15.4 Can anyone help me understand? I am not finding very good information online about if both are low. Thank you!

A year ago I came down with a mysterious illness overnight. I still have it and don't know what it is. Any advice?

I'm a 21 year old male. I've had Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth since I was 10 and suffered horrible stomach pain up until I experimented with removing all sugars from my diet a couple years ago. Shortly after I was diagnosed with SIBO after taking a Hydrogen Breath Test. I am currently cycling antibiotics to try and get rid of it. I believe I also have leaky gut. Around one year ago today I had tons of energy, went to the gym 4 times a week, good social life etc and overnight became very ill. I literally woke up one day with a sore and tender throat (feels like I'm being strangled but can still breathe), weird almost metallic taste in my mouth, back and neck pain, change in the smell of my body odor, sweat, and urine (like a chemical smell), extreme thirst, and my skin feels warm and flushed, mental confusion, and extreme fatigue. I have had all of these symptoms to various degrees every day for the entirety of last year. It feels like I've been poisoned or have a fever but my temperature has been consistently normal. Thyroid is also normal. After doing some research I found a doctor who specializes in hard to treat cases and had a full immune/viral panel done. I tested extensively for Lyme and it all came back negative. HHV-6, EBV, and Parvovirus antibodies were all slightly elevated, but my doctor says they are most likely past infections as they are not high enough to be active ones. Hepatitis, CMV, etc all came back negative too. Apparently, I don't have any autoimmune disorders either. My Natural Killer Cells however, were very low. I have begun taking AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) which is clinical proven to boost NK cells and it gives me some relief. So my doctor says my immune system is impaired but I still don't know what is causing these horrible symptoms. I can't work, attend college, or even go out much until I recover from this illness. On, Monday I'm doing further testing for Heavy Metal and Ammonia Toxicity. I have tested positive for the MTHFR C677T single mutation, but my B12 levels are normal. I have recently become slightly anemic, which my doctor claims is likely from the SIBO. Has anyone here had any similar experience and recovered? Is there any advice or suggestions for what could be causing this? It has literally ruined my life and I don't even understand why. To say I'm desperate would be an understatement as I feel like I'm dying or something. Please, anything is welcome. Additional Information: I don't eat soy, wheat, or drink lactose. Thanks.

Medicine in Assassin's Creed

I have to say, I've just been playing a bit of Unity to test out the 'Crescent Glaive' (which it turn out is an extremely fun weapon), however I find being able to press 'Up' on the d-pad makes combat a lot easier. What I liked about AC3/4 was that if your health got too low you couldn't just use medicine and you'd have to escape combat before you regained health. Does anybody prefer this over the system of simply pressing the medicine button to auto-regenerate in a second?

Lye safety questions.

Can I take off my rubber gloves after I pour my soap into the mold? Do I need to keep the gloves on while cleaning up equipment? Am I allowed to touch my soap after 24 hours with my bare hands? Am I allowed to do a test wash on my bare hands with small bits of soap I just made? (After 24 hours) How do I know when the soap has completed cured 100% if a recipe does not specify a cure time? Is there any cool or interesting facts about lye that I should know?

Testing, testing 123

I'm constantly running tests and mini tests at all times. testing to see whether someone is lying to me, comparing myself to things like my zodiac sign descriptions, interested in knowing others view me -- more so if it's different than how I see myself. Doesn't mean I'm changing me.. But I might if evidence proves I should. I enjoy talking/debating with people that have different opinions than I do as I undertsand perrceptions are different and a good scientist wants to know all the details.. Not just ours. If I find an irritating or crazy trait that I don't like in someone.. The first I do is run through my brain to see if I've acted this way, think this way, etc. These tests, evaluations, comparisons and reflections all take place in seconds-- but are constant. By doing my tests all the time.. I can come up with solutions in seconds. I can change my mind about something. I can open an entirely new avenue to think about .... And test. I can be unwavering in my pov on some issues as I have thought about them, cross referenced them and tested them to places beyond the average person. I do these things to keep reality in check, self evaluation to better myself as a person and weed out harmful people in my life. I enjoy pondering things that can't be proven. I realize a good majority of the world doesn't think this way. I have a hard time understanding why other people aren't looking inward to fix themselves, instead they are manipulating and blaming others, shirking from responsibility and overly emotional. I find most of these people stupid. Do any of you out there identify with me?

Motor Vehicle Act - Driving Prohibition - Help! Canada, B.C.

Last night I got a 90 day notice of driving prohibition and a 30 day vehicle impound. After I got home I wrote down the sequence of events while it was fresh in my mind. Looking at it now I feel as if I should submit for a review to the Superintendant but I am in need of some advice because I don't know what to do! I'm currently going to college for Computer Science and I hold a weekend job. This is probably the biggest mistake I've ever made and would greatly appreciate any help that you guys can give as this is going to extremely affect my life! :( So here is what happened: 1. I saw the roadblock 1. I parked in a legal parking spot before it 1. I got out of the vehicle 1. The police officer then jogs over 1. The police officer asked me If I had been drinking. I said no 1. The police officer asked me to come onto sidewalk and said he could smell alcohol on my breath 1. He asked me again if I had been drinking and when was the last time I had a drink. I said that I had not been drinking and that I had no drinks that night 1. The police officer said he demands a roadside screening 1. I asked if it was required and he said yes, I must take it 1. I asked why he had come up to me as I had parked legally before the roadblock and there was no indication of me committing any offence 1. The police officer said that because I had parked before the roadblock he assumed something was up 1. I then followed the police officer to his vehicle to take the breathalyzer 1. I took the breathalyzer and the reading said FAIL 1. The police officer then asked me if I would like to contact a LAWYER. I said YES 1. Police officer then reads out a paper and says he demands another breathalyzer test. 1. I proceeded to question if I was required to obey his demand to take another breathalyzer test ( or any of his demands) as I had to obey his first demand. 1. The police officer said yes, it is required and he would take me to the station to take it. 1. The police officer put me in the back of his vehicle and he got in the drivers seat. 1. The police officer then gives me an OPTION to take the breathalyzer again and said it would in my best interest to do so. 1. I asked how and why it would be in my best interest to do so and the police officer could or would not explain but just kept reiterating that it would be in my best interest. 1. I said that I did not fully understand my situation and that I would like to talk to a lawyer as he had previously asked if I would like one. 1. The police officer DENIED my request to a lawyer and said the decision for the second test was in my hands. 1. I reiterated that I did not know if retaking the test would be in my best interest and said that I would like to speak to a lawyer to explain things to me. 1. The police officer denied me a lawyer again and said that it was my decision. I again replied that I still did not fully understand the circumstances of my situation so I was not going to proceed in taking another breathalyzer and that I wanted to speak to a lawyer. 1. The police officer said he was not going under a criminal offence only a motor vehicle act offence 1. I acknowledged that and said that I did not know the difference 1. The police officer then asked me if I would like to exit his vehicle and walk back to my truck or get a ride with him while he drives to my truck to fill out paperwork. I got a ride with him. 1. After arriving at my vehicle he took my truck key and asked if I would like to remain outside or wait in the cop car or in my truck. I chose my truck. 1. The police officer then began the paperwork in his vehicle 1. The towing vehicle pulled up, and I exited my vehicle and the police officer asked if I would like to remain on the street or enter his cop car to wait. I entered the cop car as it was cold outside. 1. The police officer finished the paperwork for the driving prohibition and impound notices, handed me my copies and released me to the street. I am really confused about the lawyer as he asked me if I wanted one and I said yes but was never given a chance to talk to one. What I'm thinking is he was going to give me a criminal offence then changed his mind for some reason?

Seven enthusiastic participants from Abilitree surprised us all with their incredible talent and ability to capture what they saw through their cameras in downtown Bend. It was a pleasure to teach them photography and to go out shooting with them. Here are the images I selected and turned into 16x20 canvases. All canvases are available for purchase and 100% goes to Abilitree. They are currently being displayed at Cascade Sotheby's on Wall Street in downtown Bend. Press release: The Lens Project (BEND, Ore.)-With two photography lessons under their belt, seven Abilitree participants set out to test their photography skills at capturing downtown Bend and Drake Park. In a two hour span the amateur photographers captured life in Bend – dogs and their owners passing by, beloved landmarks, bikes and elements of nature. The field trip provided an opportunity for learning and exploring life through the lens. The photography outing was part of The Lens Project, one of the many ways that the Central Oregon nonprofit Abilitree works to empower people with disabilities, assisting individuals to gain independence, productivity and inclusion in community life. Abilitree partnered with local photographer and longtime supporter, Jill Rosell, to teach the photography classes and lead the field trip. Two days of classes provided participants with the basics of photography, how to use SLR digital cameras, how to frame an image, and defining a good image. “Art is such a huge part of community” says April O’Meara, Business Development Manager at Abilitree. “It’s a part of who we are and helps defines us. This photography experience is giving individuals with disabilities one more avenue for community involvement. The photographs exceeded Jill Rosell’s expectations and the participants can’t wait to share their talents with the community.” The participants will display their work at Cascade Sotheby’s International Realty office in downtown Bend for the December 5th First Friday Art Walk. The 16x20 canvases will be for sale as a fundraiser benefiting Abilitree. You’re invited to enjoy live music by Three D and try your luck at raffle prizes, including a 20x30 canvas print by Jill Rosell Photography. The Lens Project is sponsored by Cascade Sotheby’s International Realty, BendBroadband and Jill Rosell Photography, with in-kind support from Studio Absolute and Three D. Where: Downtown Cascade Sotheby’s, 821 NW Wall Street, Bend O 97701 When: Friday, December 5th (First Friday Art Walk) 5pm-8pm

Mini nautalis or Russian 91 or both.

I bought a mini naught on black Friday still waiting for it from ecig.com I last night decided I needed a Russian much much more to avoid buying coils and in the long run save money. I know its a personal decision but I don't know what to do now. I want to sell the nautalis when it finally arrives, to avoid an evil circle of buying bvc. Or I could keep them both....I'm leaning twords selling Nautilus and buying a RDA clone too either way to test dripping. I'm gonna do that either way.

CCAF question - If you take a class similar to the CLEP/DANTES test for the crse do you receive credits?

To elaborate. I have taken the college composition class through one of the community colleges on base. After taking the class I took the CLEP. The CLEP was transfered towards my CCAF progress report first and the class has not been transfered yet. So my question is since I've already filled the slot for the general education, will that class become an elective credit? Thanks!

Getting blood work done in two weeks to see what my test levels are at on this dose of test to help determine what I'll cruise on. Anyways just wanted to share! Oh and my cats okay now

Producer/Publisher Seeking Games to Publish, Deploy, bring alive!

Hello Game Devs, Artists, etc.! Recently accepted into the Bizspark program, I have acquired a fair amount of resources. I now have access to software and solutions to deploy/publish mobile and web apps. With access to Visual Studio Online, Office 365 Developer Subscriptions, Microsoft Azure solutions, and more, I am willing to work with a team (or individuals) and help them get their game(s) up. I will not be able to provide capital, but I'll have server support, analysis/monitoring, databases, VPNs, etc. Along with that, I can also provide tools that will help with market your project as well as potentially generate a following for it. If you or your team has a game built or being built, and would like a partner who can publish it on a solid framework, contact me. I can discuss more of the resources I can provide (too many to list). Send me your game idea, links, photos, demos, etc. Also send me what sort of resources you would need (servers, cloud services, databases, VPNs, websites, virtual machines, etc.). Based on your idea and/or requests, the scale of the project, and what's needed, I will determine if a partnership can be made. If so, we can discuss contracts, and other necessities. I'm mainly looking for projects that are ready to be displayed. Doesn't need to be ready for release, but something that is worth the resources (for instance: servers to support an alpha/beta test). It would also be better if you already have a small team, or able to recruit others. After publishing the game/app, I can help monetize the product, market, as well as use my resources to continue generating a user base for your creation.
