Sorry to bug you here; I'm still having trouble DMing you.
Is there a better way to ask questions?
Right now, there's a poor Thai guy wondering why he hasn't received his bitcoin after paying my Lazada order, I think. I wasn't prepared to translate the receipt I saw and plebQR timed out. My wallet says my payment succeeded but I didn't get to confirm the receipt.
Now I see no way to recover/confirm the receipt or cancel the btc payment and Lazada order to start again.
What to do?

Having some control over uploads of kiddie porn is more necessary than controlling who zaps a creator, surely?

But you can't control the probabilities or the outcome at each step.
The probability distribution is determined by the history of prior outcomes.
I guess that's where parenting can affect an outcome - constructing a child's environment to lead to a desirable distribution.

Etoricoxib is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory. Worth a try at least.
I guess my basic thesis is that you won't easily stop this feedback cycle so easily by reducing the triggers and you really need to clamp down on it to get a new base to work on.

2024-11-02 10:58:36 CET

- reply

After about 25 years longer than you with almost all the symptoms you mention, I came to realize that the base issue is inflammation and that it works like a chain reaction with feedback. Food, infection, etc can start inflammation anywhere then inflammatory agents spread everywhere increasing the likelihood that other areas enter the inflammatory state. The feedback occurs because the overall inflammatory state of the whole system increases the inflammation of the original trigger as well. Nasty stuff.
Its a self-perpetuating cycle, difficult to stop by eating better etc.
After years of it I found the best way is to clamp down hard on it with antiinflammatories for a few days, then ease up slowly (for your kidneys' sake). Years ago I started with steroids and I was amazed how effective they were but long-term use was advised against.
Recently I found etoricoxib (90mg/day until the inflammation levels reset - its very noticeable, then slow down until early symptoms appear again (mine are usually the joint pains). I'm down to 90mg every month on average to stop that chain reaction starting as needed.
Do you have gastric reflux too? I was surprised when the antiinflammatories helped there too.
Are you discussing this somewhere?
I'm thinking the toe tingling, numbness and calf cramps are real damage beyond the inflammatory cause - its not getting worse now, but other than that it doesn't seem to be improved by antiinflammatories
Specialists over 30 years or so have been quite useless in my case.

I've always assumed the sellers are close to the money printer. On an exchange that means they have access to enough collateral to short bitcoin almost without limit.

I might have missed a native desktop nostrudel i guess, but i doubt it. Correct me if i'm wrong please.
If it uses your browser, its not native.
These clients seem to be designed for phones and use the browser infrastructure, then they get slightly changed for the desktop. As a result they are slow, clunky, usually rather buggy and are huge resource hogs.

i cant remember the current sats per dollar, but i can remember the current btcusd value.
There's 100 sats per ubtc (microbtc) and 1k multipliers up to one btc...
20000sats = 200ubtc = 0.2mbtc.
Since btcusd is about $67000 now, 1 mbtc is about $67, so 0.2 is about $13.4
Easy huh? I should prolly add a memory location for the current sats per dollar value. 😉
