Downstairs neighbor is making our lives a living hell
2023.03.31 17:21 AppleBG Downstairs neighbor is making our lives a living hell
Hi everyone, so for the past year we’ve been dealing with our downstairs NFH and it’s driving me insane. I’m not sure what to do anymore.
Background: We live in a suburb in NYC, in a 13-floor building with multiple neighbors above and below us. my fiancé and me moved into our apartment last March. We don’t have pets, and at the time when we moved in, I was about 20 weeks pregnant with our daughter. We don’t have any other children. My boyfriend works in banking and leaves at 7 am every day and returns at 7 pm. I’m in PA school, so from March - December I left for school at 2 pm and returned at 10 pm. During the day I would study. Now I’m on rotations, so I’m gone M-F from around 8 am - 5 pm. Our daughter is 7 months old and doesn’t walk or crawl yet. My mom takes care of the baby during the day, but they usually leave to run errands, park or library.
Our downstairs neighbor started placing multiple noise complaints very shortly after we moved in. Security would come to our apartment weekly and tell us that she was complaining about children running and playing. At this point, I was still very pregnant and our apartment barely had furniture. My fiancé would answer the door and tell them that we didn’t have children yet. By the third time, my fiance asked me to open the door so that they would see my belly. Security felt bad and told the neighbor that there were no children in the apartment.
The complaints stopped for a bit and then they started again when we bought our dining room table. She started sending security again and started making calls to management about the chairs moving. Once my fiancé called me frantically while I was studying to ask me what I was doing. He had management on the other line saying that I was making noise in the apartment for hours. I was studying for an exam and occasionally standing up to use the bathroom. After that, we put little felt pieces under the chairs.
At this point, I had a conversation with management to explain our work/school schedules. Management was understanding and said they would have a talk with her. Management asked me if we had carpeting in our apartment. I told them we have area rugs in the living room, with the couch and coffee table, a rug in the baby’s room, and one in the bedroom under our bed. Security was still being called almost 2x a month.
Once I delivered I had to return to school since my program doesn’t offer maternity leave so my fiancé took paternity leave to care for the baby. She was still sending security to the apartment while he was home caring for a newborn. Often times he would be napping or on the couch with the baby when security would come over. One time he woke up to NYPD knocking on the door over a noise complaint and he was napping in the bedroom. The police officers were visibly very upset, according to my fiancé when they saw that the apartment was dark and he had a sleeping newborn in his arms. They left and said to ignore her.
At some point when my daughter was about 3 months old and security was still being called, I got very frustrated. I asked security to accompany me to speak with her myself. They took us downstairs. She was extremely aggressive from the beginning while I was trying to calmly explain to her that we don’t know where the noises she hears are coming from. She kept mentioning a screeching sound from the table. We told her we placed the felt pieces. She asked us if we had carpeting in our apartment, we told her no, but we had rugs and didn’t have one under the table because we felt it was unsanitary to have one there in case food fell on it. I gave her my number and asked her to text me when she heard noises so we can try to fix the issue. She said she still heard children running. I pointed to the baby and said that she was the only child and she was only 3 months old so it was not possible that it was her. My neighbors in the apartment next to mine (we share the living room wall) have children that do run a lot. She was complaining about the noise in her living room. She was on the phone with her boyfriend, who said “he can hear the noise too” 😒. She apologized briefly and told me she’d text me.
So sometime later, she texted me when she thought she heard the noise. We ran some noise tests and couldn’t reproduce the noise she was talking about using any furniture in our apartment. The only time we could hear something is when I actually slammed the chair. I told her I was sorry she was hearing those sounds but it was not coming from our apartment.
She texted me again when I was on rotation all the way in another borough, and I told her no one was home so the noise wasn’t from our apartment.
She texted me again yesterday to complain of balls dropping in our bedroom (over the master bedroom) and about footsteps at 6 am (that one was definitely my fiancé walking around in his work shoes). She was very nasty this time and stated that she was going to call management and set up a meeting to inspect our apartment because of the noise.
I spoke to management again and they got upset with me. They stated that she hasn’t called since July 2022. I told them she was texting me the complaints and I had no explanation for the noises she was hearing and that it was becoming too much for us bc we feel like we can’t even walk around our apartment without a possible complaint.
I said: “it feels like she wants us to carpet our apartment and I’m not doing that. I have allergies and it’s out of our budget.”
Management said: “well per your lease, you’re supposed to have carpet in 80% of the apartment, except the kitchen and bathroom. We usually don’t enforce it, but if the noise complaints are excessive, we do enforce it. Also, since she hasn’t called since July, it looks like YOU are starting the complaints now.”
I was confused because it feels like this woman has been harassing us for over a year now. I looked at the lease and the lease did state that there needs to be carpeting in 80% of the apartment, but here is what I’m confused about:
She texted me again today at 3 am to say she heard balls dropping. We were sleeping at 3 am and the baby sleeps through the night without toys in her crib. I responded at 9 am saying it wasn’t us bc we were sleeping at that time.
We’ve tried to call remove sources of noise in the following way:

I was confused because it feels like this woman has been harassing us for over a year now. I looked at the lease and the lease did state that there needs to be carpeting in 80% of the apartment, but here is what I’m confused about:
- The apartments come with hardwood floors and no carpeting
- The lease states that any carpeting must be removed before releasing the apartment back to them when moving out
- If we don’t remove the carpeting, we lose our deposit AND they charge us $15/sq ft to remove the carpet.
- If the wood floor is damaged from carpet removal/installation, we must pay to repair the wood floors.
She texted me again today at 3 am to say she heard balls dropping. We were sleeping at 3 am and the baby sleeps through the night without toys in her crib. I responded at 9 am saying it wasn’t us bc we were sleeping at that time.
We’ve tried to call remove sources of noise in the following way:
- No shoes in the apartment. I asked my fiancé to put his work shoes on only when he was about to leave.
- We don’t sit at our dining table. So often we sit on the couch to eat or sometimes the floor
- My fiancé likes to listen to TV loud, he’s been avoiding that for months, and when he plays videos games, he uses headphones
- The baby only plays with her toys on our bed or on the couch so she can’t hear her playing
- move out, but that’s difficult bc money is a little tight.
- The leasing agent who helped us get the apartment is good friends with my stepdad and we were thinking of asking him if he could help us switch apartments
- I don’t think there’s anything legally we can do, especially because we are the upstairs neighbors. My stepfather’s lawyer could maybe look at the lease and give us advice. I might go this route before doing anything
- place a carpet large enough to cover the majority of the living room area with some foam padding under the table and see if that solves the issue. Although, I'm not convinced it will, because now she is complaining about a noise in the bedroom that she wasn't before. I feel like she is going to complain until every inch of my apartment is carpeted, and even then, still complain
2023.03.31 17:17 ramses_the_7th Black Screens and GPU fans full blast
Black screens and gpu fans at full blast
Posting specs up here so you know
CPU: Intel i9 10900k Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z490 VISION G GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3090 GAMING OC 24 GB Ram: 32GB (2x16GB) 3600mhz Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro PSU: 850W Gigabyte GP 80+ Gold Storage: 2TB NVME Samsung 980 Pro
Hello, around january I started having an issue while playing games such as Beat Saber and Fortnite. With my beefy PC, I got the PSU to be able to support any high power draw as all calculators recommended up to 700W. I knew I was gonna be gaming heavily on this thing when I bought it in April of 2022. Its been great until january when the problem started.
Sooooo the problem. While playing games with the graphics turned up, after a while both my screens would go black and my gpu fans would ramp up to over 100% speed. This wouldn't disable the computer, as I can hear audio and talk on discord. The only way to recover is to cycle power to the PC.
That's how it started out. As of a month ago, it started doing this more often. When it occurred right as I booted the PC, that's when I knew something was wrong. I spent the past 4 weeks troubleshooting my system, and I was unsuccessful. Two days ago I turned on my PC to do my taxes and it took 18 attempts to finally get into the PC, it would do the black screen fans full blast thing instantly and sometimes id be able to get to the login screen.
Okay so now the part you will probably ask about, what exactly did I do to troubleshoot this issue? Well, just about everything I COULD do without voiding the warranty on the system or firing the parts cannon. My efforts are as follows:
GPU: Reinstalled graphics driver Rolled back graphics driver Installed studio driver instead of game ready driver Unvervolt and lower the clock Overclocking (bc why not) Setting the fan speed to 100 preemptively Monitored the temperature Monitored the power draw Checked the power connections from the psu to the gpu Checked the pcie slot and also changed slots Held the gpu up to be more level Ran one daisey chain cable to the gpu instead of two separate cables Switched to silent bios mode instead of oc mode Uninstalled the drivers Uninstalled the entire device and let windows reinstall upon restart
MOTHERBOARD: Updated bios version to current Checked for any updates Tweaked bios with just about every setting Ran default bios settings Removed battery on MB to reset bios Unplugged everything and plugged everything back in Monitored temps and power
RAM: Ran memtest86 Ran windows memory diagnostic Switched ram sticks Switched dimm slots
CPU: Ran Intel diagnostics Ran intel's update tool Checked temps and power Overclocked and underclocked
PSU: Ran OCCT to monitor power Used OCCT and hwinfo to check power Swapped cables in the ports to rule out faulty ports
...and I found...nothing! Nothing I did fixed or even improved my issue. All my tests came back perfectly normal and the only thing I learned is that my components are all in good condition. Everything is updated, everything is nice and cool, the system power draw never got above 730W.
So as you can see, I have been busy. Whenever I wasn't at work I was troubleshooting this poor PC trying to fix or at the very least diagnose the problem properly.
I purchased the PC through LyteTech through their pc building website and I have been in contact with them for a few weeks, and after sharing my efforts and trying some of their suggestions, the only thing left to do is to send the PC back for repair. All I have to pay is shipping since its still under warranty. They said they will investigate my issue and repaireplace whatever needs it at no extra cost.
Obviously I can't open the gpu up to reapply thermal paste or check for bad capacitors because that would void the warranty and id be screwed. Same goes for the power supply. I'm not going to try swapping parts with different ones to rule out components, because I don't have any spare pc components lying around. This is my first desktop PC lmao. I figured sending it in for repair is my only option if I don't wanna buy all new components that may not even be bad. I know for a fact it isn't the ram or ssd.
So I think I need to mention this. This issue seems to be very common with gigabyte hardware. I did my research on the issue and with the windows crash dump files was able to determine there is a hardware issue present. However, it doesn't give that crash dump for every time it crashes, only about 10% of the time. Lots of people have this issue, and they end up finding completely different root causes such as bad thermal paste on the gpu, faulty psu, faulty cables, overheating cpu, bad pcie slot, or incorrect drivers. None of these seem to be the case for me, except for the thermal paste bc warranty.
So that's my story, now you know everything. Let me know what you think about my issue.

2023.03.31 17:17 NLB13 High platelets and liver enzymes
Hi all,
The internet is making me believe I'm in serious trouble with my latest blood test results, so am coming here for hopefully a more level headed approach.
Routine blooowork in 2022 - high platelets (431). Dr at the time didn't mention it or follow up. Now on 2023 I have a new Dr, completed routine blooowork 3 weeks ago, and again showed higher platelet counts (433), low vitamin D (26.4) and high liver enzyme (58). Repeated blood work, and just got the results back: platelets (463) and liver enzyme (64).
I'm 30, female, 5'9", 220lbs, and don't have the best diet, somewhat active, no drinking, no smoking, no drugs, I do take Prozac and lately vyvanse (although haven't kept it consistent and didn't take it much prior to the recent test). So, my brain is going anywhere from fatty liver disease to liver cancer.
Any and all thoughts welcome!

2023.03.31 17:14 mustlovedeadboys 41 [M4F] - #sandiego / San Diego (California) - equal parts Gen x and millennial - seeking a genuine connection
I’ve posted many times before and spoke to some interesting people but never “the one” and keeping up with the responses got a bit overwhelming.
Yes, my picture is the meme of the 40 something guy who never smiles. I assure you, I smile. Just not in selfies. If you do reply, please also send a picture. I feel it’s fair since I posted one.
I’m 41, single, no children and I live in San Diego. single since 2019. 5’10.5”, 189lbs. Ethnically ambiguous (Latino but people always think middle eastern) INFJ. Virgo. (I don’t put too much stock in that type of compatibility though).
What I am looking for in a potential partner:
I have few and very generic prerequisites. You should be a critical thinker. In the current climate of intentionally misleading headlines and generally biased news, I think being able to suss out what is real and what’s misleading is important.
I value intelligence. Like I don’t require a masters degree but I’d like to feel like the person I’m chatting with is somewhat smarter than me. I can’t 100% say I’m sapiosexual because I do want to be with someone I find attractive, but I’m most attracted to Intelligent people.
I really like people who generally laugh first before getting upset. People who can make a morbid joke in a bad (but not life threatening) situation. Like if you’re on a road trip to Vegas and get a flat tire. You could get really upset… or you could say “welllll I guess we’re going to be late picking up the hookers”.
In terms of introversion vs extroversion I don’t really have a preference. I get along with both. I’m an introvert who is always happy to go just about anywhere as long as you are the one dealing with the traffic and parking :)
I am generally never really bored. If I’m not pondering the nature of existence or having some sort of internal debate, I’m watching science documentaries or on Wikipedia or YouTube falling down a rabbit hole. I know a little bit about a lot of things and have an absurd amount of random but not quite useless information floating around in my head. I love deep talks. But I also love some good old fashioned low brow humor. Except dad jokes. I just can’t get into them.
I’m not religious. You could say I’m spiritual but not in a theological way. I don’t care if god exists and doubt god wound care what my thoughts were. I can’t really say I’m an atheist. I dislike extremes and absolutes. My motto is generally “I could be wrong” and it’s served me well in my times of existential crisis (which have become fewer as I’ve gotten older). I take comfort in my belief that there is no beginning or end. Time is a man made construct and nothing ever really ceases to be, it just changes. I don’t believe I will simply “stop existing” when I die. I don’t believe in heaven or hell. I think those concepts are tied to a superstitious belief in absolute good or absolute evil. And as I said, I dislike absolutes. Even in science, absolute rules are sometimes amended. I do good deeds because I feel like it’s the right thing to do, not for the promise of reward or the fear of punishment. Strangely, even though I’m undecided on the existence of “god”, I regularly look up and talk to god. I believe in its psychological importance. Looking upwards tends to improve optimism. And I am an optimist.
I dated quite a lot in my younger years. I “tried on” a lot of different types of people. I learned to get over people when they weren’t healthy. I learned that I was not the “best boyfriend you’ll ever have” as so many “nice guys” believe they are (before they date much). It’s a valuable experience to figure out you’re not offering anything literally any other person could. You learn that you need to work towards things together and give the other person what they need rather than what you like to offer. Of course there’s always a compromise.
Dating over 40 has been a mixed bag. I’m not great at making new friends or meeting people. The apps required a lot of effort for the minimal responses you get. And the pool of people in my age group was tiny.
I got married at 32 and Divorced at 38. I took the relationship seriously and cultivated the ability to cut conversations with flirtatious people short. That’s a hard habit to break. Especially since I do take the pandemic seriously and have laid low and avoided large gatherings . I made it till December of 2022 without catching Covid!
I have acclimated to things changing as I’ve aged. At first the changes bothered me (receding hairline, slower metabolism, grey hairs in my beard etc) but eventually I came to an equilibrium where I embrace and accept that we all age and change.
As such, I’m not big on plastic surgery or attempts to look younger or “fix” your physical features. I don’t think it’s good for your self esteem. And I think the longer you put off accepting aging, the harder it will be to take when the inevitable happens.
Along the way, I came to the conclusion don’t want to have kids. If you have them, that’s fine. But I’m not looking to procreate. If there was any lingering “maybe” I had, the looming threat of WW3 and a world wide pandemic murdered it.
Nothing is more attractive than confidence. I’m not saying you shouldn’t take care of yourself and always put your best foot forward but confidence is key. Believe it or not, some people like your “non standard” features. And what is the standard, really?
I have IG for photography and can’t help but notice how much everyone filters their pictures and falls prey to the “beauty standards” posted by people who do not meet those standards without heavy editing. The world is full of naturally beautiful people. And I do not see that reflected in social media. I debate deleting it daily but worry about offending the people I only connect with through it.
I am a musician of 25 years (I say that loosely). I’ve been playing guitar for quite a long time. From the moment I first plucked a string (on a broken , hand me down acoustic) I was hooked. It was like a drug. I use to just place my ear to the body and strum. Listening to the rich tone. It would give me shivers. I actually still feel that way. I feel like in some ways, music saved me. Before I found it, I was into drawing. I was quite good but it frustrated me often. Music has never really done that. You can haphazardly create beauty and if you do something wrong, it’s gone and you move on. I love all music but I tend to like things with angst and “oomph” that tend to be (but not always are) guitar driven. To put that into perspective, I love Hendrix and dislike John Mayer. Hopefully that makes sense.
I’m a decent cook. I could go on blathering about how I fell in love with it or what a huge influence Anthony Bourdain was but let’s just say I can’t be with a picky eater. Having food allergies (shellfish, peanuts) means I stare longingly and jealously at people eating the things I can’t. I want to eat adventurously but can’t. So I take great care to appreciate what I can and try what I can.
Photography… I haven’t picked up my camera in months. I actually really love photography. But sometimes you get up and go to shoot…To find the lighting during that time of day is horrible. And I’m not an early riser. So golden hour seems elusive. I love photo walks though. Casually walking and talking with a friend is great. I just don’t have anyone to do it with anymore. I like taking pictures of things rather than people. I like light and deep shadow. Sean tucker is an amazing photographer that captures what I love perfectly. I also love Harry gruyaert. I’m low key jealous of photographers who live in cities which are full of amazing architecture and color. San Diego is beautiful, but not in that way.
I play video games but don’t consider myself a gamer. Right now I’m binging on genshin impact. Before that I played (and loved) both horizon games. I generally play games that can be played with friends and tend to lose interest in anything else. Co op pve is great. PvP is not my thing.
Sports… although I’m not a sports guy, I actually am EXTREMELY into european football (soccer to us Americans). I watch every Manchester United game per season. I watch the champions league (and Europa league if Man U are in it). I dabble in all the big leagues but am most interested in the premier league. And when the World Cup comes around I really make an effort to wake up early and soak it in. There’s something beautiful about it being the worlds sport. There is no dominant race. There is no requisite body type. Short. Tall. Fast. Slow. Strong. Weak. They can ALL play the beautiful game. I love that. Generally, I root for the US first. But once they’re out I would equally root for any team that plays their hearts out.
Ok the essay is over. I think I’ve talked your ear off long enough. You got a snippet of who I am. Tell me about yourself?
I’m hoping to meet someone local or within say a 2 hr drive of San Diego but I am open to anyone who occasionally travels here. And accents are dead sexy. Especially all of the regional British ones.
If I didn’t bore your socks off, I have a ton of posts detailing my views on things. Feel free to browse. Or if you’d rather take the old fashioned approach, feel free to ask whatever you like.

Yes, my picture is the meme of the 40 something guy who never smiles. I assure you, I smile. Just not in selfies. If you do reply, please also send a picture. I feel it’s fair since I posted one.
I’m 41, single, no children and I live in San Diego. single since 2019. 5’10.5”, 189lbs. Ethnically ambiguous (Latino but people always think middle eastern) INFJ. Virgo. (I don’t put too much stock in that type of compatibility though).
What I am looking for in a potential partner:
I have few and very generic prerequisites. You should be a critical thinker. In the current climate of intentionally misleading headlines and generally biased news, I think being able to suss out what is real and what’s misleading is important.
I value intelligence. Like I don’t require a masters degree but I’d like to feel like the person I’m chatting with is somewhat smarter than me. I can’t 100% say I’m sapiosexual because I do want to be with someone I find attractive, but I’m most attracted to Intelligent people.
I really like people who generally laugh first before getting upset. People who can make a morbid joke in a bad (but not life threatening) situation. Like if you’re on a road trip to Vegas and get a flat tire. You could get really upset… or you could say “welllll I guess we’re going to be late picking up the hookers”.
In terms of introversion vs extroversion I don’t really have a preference. I get along with both. I’m an introvert who is always happy to go just about anywhere as long as you are the one dealing with the traffic and parking :)
I am generally never really bored. If I’m not pondering the nature of existence or having some sort of internal debate, I’m watching science documentaries or on Wikipedia or YouTube falling down a rabbit hole. I know a little bit about a lot of things and have an absurd amount of random but not quite useless information floating around in my head. I love deep talks. But I also love some good old fashioned low brow humor. Except dad jokes. I just can’t get into them.
I’m not religious. You could say I’m spiritual but not in a theological way. I don’t care if god exists and doubt god wound care what my thoughts were. I can’t really say I’m an atheist. I dislike extremes and absolutes. My motto is generally “I could be wrong” and it’s served me well in my times of existential crisis (which have become fewer as I’ve gotten older). I take comfort in my belief that there is no beginning or end. Time is a man made construct and nothing ever really ceases to be, it just changes. I don’t believe I will simply “stop existing” when I die. I don’t believe in heaven or hell. I think those concepts are tied to a superstitious belief in absolute good or absolute evil. And as I said, I dislike absolutes. Even in science, absolute rules are sometimes amended. I do good deeds because I feel like it’s the right thing to do, not for the promise of reward or the fear of punishment. Strangely, even though I’m undecided on the existence of “god”, I regularly look up and talk to god. I believe in its psychological importance. Looking upwards tends to improve optimism. And I am an optimist.
I dated quite a lot in my younger years. I “tried on” a lot of different types of people. I learned to get over people when they weren’t healthy. I learned that I was not the “best boyfriend you’ll ever have” as so many “nice guys” believe they are (before they date much). It’s a valuable experience to figure out you’re not offering anything literally any other person could. You learn that you need to work towards things together and give the other person what they need rather than what you like to offer. Of course there’s always a compromise.
Dating over 40 has been a mixed bag. I’m not great at making new friends or meeting people. The apps required a lot of effort for the minimal responses you get. And the pool of people in my age group was tiny.
I got married at 32 and Divorced at 38. I took the relationship seriously and cultivated the ability to cut conversations with flirtatious people short. That’s a hard habit to break. Especially since I do take the pandemic seriously and have laid low and avoided large gatherings . I made it till December of 2022 without catching Covid!
I have acclimated to things changing as I’ve aged. At first the changes bothered me (receding hairline, slower metabolism, grey hairs in my beard etc) but eventually I came to an equilibrium where I embrace and accept that we all age and change.
As such, I’m not big on plastic surgery or attempts to look younger or “fix” your physical features. I don’t think it’s good for your self esteem. And I think the longer you put off accepting aging, the harder it will be to take when the inevitable happens.
Along the way, I came to the conclusion don’t want to have kids. If you have them, that’s fine. But I’m not looking to procreate. If there was any lingering “maybe” I had, the looming threat of WW3 and a world wide pandemic murdered it.
Nothing is more attractive than confidence. I’m not saying you shouldn’t take care of yourself and always put your best foot forward but confidence is key. Believe it or not, some people like your “non standard” features. And what is the standard, really?
I have IG for photography and can’t help but notice how much everyone filters their pictures and falls prey to the “beauty standards” posted by people who do not meet those standards without heavy editing. The world is full of naturally beautiful people. And I do not see that reflected in social media. I debate deleting it daily but worry about offending the people I only connect with through it.
I am a musician of 25 years (I say that loosely). I’ve been playing guitar for quite a long time. From the moment I first plucked a string (on a broken , hand me down acoustic) I was hooked. It was like a drug. I use to just place my ear to the body and strum. Listening to the rich tone. It would give me shivers. I actually still feel that way. I feel like in some ways, music saved me. Before I found it, I was into drawing. I was quite good but it frustrated me often. Music has never really done that. You can haphazardly create beauty and if you do something wrong, it’s gone and you move on. I love all music but I tend to like things with angst and “oomph” that tend to be (but not always are) guitar driven. To put that into perspective, I love Hendrix and dislike John Mayer. Hopefully that makes sense.
I’m a decent cook. I could go on blathering about how I fell in love with it or what a huge influence Anthony Bourdain was but let’s just say I can’t be with a picky eater. Having food allergies (shellfish, peanuts) means I stare longingly and jealously at people eating the things I can’t. I want to eat adventurously but can’t. So I take great care to appreciate what I can and try what I can.

I’m low key jealous of photographers who live in cities which are full of amazing architecture and color. San Diego is beautiful, but not in that way.
I play video games but don’t consider myself a gamer. Right now I’m binging on genshin impact. Before that I played (and loved) both horizon games. I generally play games that can be played with friends and tend to lose interest in anything else. Co op pve is great. PvP is not my thing.
Sports… although I’m not a sports guy, I actually am EXTREMELY into european football (soccer to us Americans). I watch every Manchester United game per season. I watch the champions league (and Europa league if Man U are in it). I dabble in all the big leagues but am most interested in the premier league.

2023.03.31 17:13 mustlovedeadboys 41 [M4F] - #sandiego / San Diego (California) - equal parts Gen x and millennial - seeking a genuine connection
I’ve posted many times before and spoke to some interesting people but never “the one” and keeping up with the responses got a bit overwhelming.

I’m 41, single, no children and I live in San Diego. single since 2019. 5’10.5”, 189lbs. Ethnically ambiguous (Latino but people always think middle eastern) INFJ. Virgo. (I don’t put too much stock in that type of compatibility though).

And as I said, I dislike absolutes. Even in science, absolute rules are sometimes amended. I do good deeds because I feel like it’s the right thing to do, not for the promise of reward or the fear of punishment. Strangely, even though I’m undecided on the existence of “god”, I regularly look up and talk to god. I believe in its psychological importance. Looking upwards tends to improve optimism. And I am an optimist.
I dated quite a lot in my younger years. I “tried on” a lot of different types of people. I learned to get over people when they weren’t healthy. I learned that I was not the “best boyfriend you’ll ever have” as so many “nice guys” believe they are (before they date much). It’s a valuable experience to figure out you’re not offering anything literally any other person could. You learn that you need to work towards things together and give the other person what they need rather than what you like to offer. Of course there’s always a compromise.
Dating over 40 has been a mixed bag. I’m not great at making new friends or meeting people. The apps required a lot of effort for the minimal responses you get. And the pool of people in my age group was tiny.
I got married at 32 and Divorced at 38. I took the relationship seriously and cultivated the ability to cut conversations with flirtatious people short. That’s a hard habit to break. Especially since I do take the pandemic seriously and have laid low and avoided large gatherings . I made it till December of 2022 without catching Covid!
I have acclimated to things changing as I’ve aged. At first the changes bothered me (receding hairline, slower metabolism, grey hairs in my beard etc) but eventually I came to an equilibrium where I embrace and accept that we all age and change.
As such, I’m not big on plastic surgery or attempts to look younger or “fix” your physical features. I don’t think it’s good for your self esteem. And I think the longer you put off accepting aging, the harder it will be to take when the inevitable happens.
Along the way, I came to the conclusion don’t want to have kids. If you have them, that’s fine. But I’m not looking to procreate. If there was any lingering “maybe” I had, the looming threat of WW3 and a world wide pandemic murdered it.
Nothing is more attractive than confidence. I’m not saying you shouldn’t take care of yourself and always put your best foot forward but confidence is key. Believe it or not, some people like your “non standard” features. And what is the standard, really?
I have IG for photography and can’t help but notice how much everyone filters their pictures and falls prey to the “beauty standards” posted by people who do not meet those standards without heavy editing. The world is full of naturally beautiful people. And I do not see that reflected in social media. I debate deleting it daily but worry about offending the people I only connect with through it.
I am a musician of 25 years (I say that loosely). I’ve been playing guitar for quite a long time. From the moment I first plucked a string (on a broken , hand me down acoustic) I was hooked. It was like a drug. I use to just place my ear to the body and strum. Listening to the rich tone. It would give me shivers. I actually still feel that way. I feel like in some ways, music saved me. Before I found it, I was into drawing. I was quite good but it frustrated me often. Music has never really done that. You can haphazardly create beauty and if you do something wrong, it’s gone and you move on. I love all music but I tend to like things with angst and “oomph” that tend to be (but not always are) guitar driven. To put that into perspective, I love Hendrix and dislike John Mayer. Hopefully that makes sense.
I’m a decent cook. I could go on blathering about how I fell in love with it or what a huge influence Anthony Bourdain was but let’s just say I can’t be with a picky eater. Having food allergies (shellfish, peanuts) means I stare longingly and jealously at people eating the things I can’t. I want to eat adventurously but can’t. So I take great care to appreciate what I can and try what I can.
Photography… I haven’t picked up my camera in months. I actually really love photography. But sometimes you get up and go to shoot…To find the lighting during that time of day is horrible. And I’m not an early riser. So golden hour seems elusive. I love photo walks though. Casually walking and talking with a friend is great. I just don’t have anyone to do it with anymore. I like taking pictures of things rather than people. I like light and deep shadow. Sean tucker is an amazing photographer that captures what I love perfectly. I also love Harry gruyaert. I’m low key jealous of photographers who live in cities which are full of amazing architecture and color. San Diego is beautiful, but not in that way.
I play video games but don’t consider myself a gamer. Right now I’m binging on genshin impact. Before that I played (and loved) both horizon games. I generally play games that can be played with friends and tend to lose interest in anything else. Co op pve is great. PvP is not my thing.
Sports… although I’m not a sports guy, I actually am EXTREMELY into european football (soccer to us Americans). I watch every Manchester United game per season. I watch the champions league (and Europa league if Man U are in it). I dabble in all the big leagues but am most interested in the premier league. And when the World Cup comes around I really make an effort to wake up early and soak it in. There’s something beautiful about it being the worlds sport. There is no dominant race. There is no requisite body type. Short. Tall. Fast. Slow. Strong. Weak. They can ALL play the beautiful game. I love that. Generally, I root for the US first. But once they’re out I would equally root for any team that plays their hearts out.
Ok the essay is over. I think I’ve talked your ear off long enough. You got a snippet of who I am. Tell me about yourself?
I’m hoping to meet someone local or within say a 2 hr drive of San Diego but I am open to anyone who occasionally travels here. And accents are dead sexy. Especially all of the regional British ones.
If I didn’t bore your socks off, I have a ton of posts detailing my views on things. Feel free to browse. Or if you’d rather take the old fashioned approach, feel free to ask whatever you like.

Yes, my picture is the meme of the 40 something guy who never smiles. I assure you, I smile. Just not in selfies. If you do reply, please also send a picture. I feel it’s fair since I posted one.
I’m 41, single, no children and I live in San Diego. single since 2019. 5’10.5”, 189lbs. Ethnically ambiguous (Latino but people always think middle eastern) INFJ. Virgo. (I don’t put too much stock in that type of compatibility though).
What I am looking for in a potential partner:
I have few and very generic prerequisites. You should be a critical thinker. In the current climate of intentionally misleading headlines and generally biased news, I think being able to suss out what is real and what’s misleading is important.
I value intelligence. Like I don’t require a masters degree but I’d like to feel like the person I’m chatting with is somewhat smarter than me. I can’t 100% say I’m sapiosexual because I do want to be with someone I find attractive, but I’m most attracted to Intelligent people.
I really like people who generally laugh first before getting upset. People who can make a morbid joke in a bad (but not life threatening) situation. Like if you’re on a road trip to Vegas and get a flat tire. You could get really upset… or you could say “welllll I guess we’re going to be late picking up the hookers”.
In terms of introversion vs extroversion I don’t really have a preference. I get along with both. I’m an introvert who is always happy to go just about anywhere as long as you are the one dealing with the traffic and parking :)
I am generally never really bored. If I’m not pondering the nature of existence or having some sort of internal debate, I’m watching science documentaries or on Wikipedia or YouTube falling down a rabbit hole. I know a little bit about a lot of things and have an absurd amount of random but not quite useless information floating around in my head. I love deep talks. But I also love some good old fashioned low brow humor. Except dad jokes. I just can’t get into them.
I’m not religious. You could say I’m spiritual but not in a theological way. I don’t care if god exists and doubt god wound care what my thoughts were. I can’t really say I’m an atheist. I dislike extremes and absolutes. My motto is generally “I could be wrong” and it’s served me well in my times of existential crisis (which have become fewer as I’ve gotten older). I take comfort in my belief that there is no beginning or end. Time is a man made construct and nothing ever really ceases to be, it just changes. I don’t believe I will simply “stop existing” when I die. I don’t believe in heaven or hell. I think those concepts are tied to a superstitious belief in absolute good or absolute evil.

2023.03.31 17:11 mustlovedeadboys 41 [M4F] - #sandiego / San Diego (California) - equal parts Gen x and millennial - seeking a genuine connection
I’ve posted many times before and spoke to some interesting people but never “the one” and keeping up with the responses got a bit overwhelming.
Yes, my picture is the meme of the 40 something guy who never smiles. I assure you, I smile. Just not in selfies. If you do reply, please also send a picture. I feel it’s fair since I posted one.
I’m 41, single, no children and I live in San Diego. single since 2019. 5’10.5”, 189lbs. Ethnically ambiguous (Latino but people always think middle eastern) INFJ. Virgo. (I don’t put too much stock in that type of compatibility though).

I watch the champions league (and Europa league if Man U are in it). I dabble in all the big leagues but am most interested in the premier league. And when the World Cup comes around I really make an effort to wake up early and soak it in. There’s something beautiful about it being the worlds sport. There is no dominant race. There is no requisite body type. Short. Tall. Fast. Slow. Strong. Weak. They can ALL play the beautiful game. I love that. Generally, I root for the US first. But once they’re out I would equally root for any team that plays their hearts out.
Ok the essay is over. I think I’ve talked your ear off long enough. You got a snippet of who I am. Tell me about yourself?
I’m hoping to meet someone local or within say a 2 hr drive of San Diego but I am open to anyone who occasionally travels here. And accents are dead sexy. Especially all of the regional British ones.
If I didn’t bore your socks off, I have a ton of posts detailing my views on things. Feel free to browse. Or if you’d rather take the old fashioned approach, feel free to ask whatever you like.

2023.03.31 16:43 JustABasePlebian Do I even have a case?
Hello, I appreciate any help at all and thank you beforehand.
I was going to the eeoc. I had mad an appt months ago. I was worried I wouldn't have time to file for discrimination and sexual harassment but April 4th was enough time since this happened in SeptermbeOctober of 2022. I just got an email that the eeoc cancelled my appointment and there is no other appointment until late October of this year, 2023. They say I have until Oct 2nd to file and the only next available appointment is Oct 5. I know i can not have them reinstate my appointment date so after intense crying all morning I wanted to find out if I even have anything to go on.
On top of sexual discrimination for a position and on top of the sexual harassment, my employer even yelled at me for filing for workmans comp when I got injured at work. I will copy and paste what I sent to the EEOC. Sorry for the length. Any input is appreciated.
Sexual discrimination - I interviewed for a tech position in early October at the company I had started working at in early September. I was turned down for the job with no explanation, initially. A person interviewing me for that position later told me they wanted me for it and the only other person who had interviewed for the job was a guy who was not a good fit at all. He had no idea why I had been turned down when I was perfect for the position. I later asked the head of human resources why I had not been given the job as I was being further discriminated against and harassed elsewhere at the company, and he read from an email sent to him verbatim, that the company's head of tech did not want to hire me because "she was just telling them what they wanted to hear" in the interview. The head of human resources later called me at home after I had just started my medical leave of absence from being injured on the job. He told me that no one else qualified will come up to work in Menomonee and that they would offer me the opportunity not to have the job but to "shadow" to see if I was fit for the job but he stressed how it might only be for a day or two, not the full standard two weeks at this company. Which told me that they just needed a better reason to turn me down for the job because they knew that "she's just telling us what we want to hear" sounds really like, "there's no way this woman can possibly have been this qualified to be able to answer the questions in the interview for the job".
Sexual Harassment #3 - In November I pushed to be able to try out for the forklift position as the mechanical glove the company had provided for the job in mid October had caused me injury in my arms and hands which later turned out to be carpal tunnel and epicondylitis from the glove pinching nerves in my hands and causing excessive stress on my forearms and hands. The glove is not OSHA approved as far as I know. They are testing them on the employees for some Swedish company. I digress. Due to that injury, I was trying to move to a less labor intensive role at the company again (this is following being turned down for the tech job). I took the class for becoming forklift certified there and was passed and was not a danger to anyone. When I started to 2 week trial, there were no standard operating procedures for this role to follow so I had to go to my fellow forklift employees to ask how they wanted things done. I was hit on by other fork lift employees, screamed at by other forklift employees, (even had one employee do such while they were at work sick which got me sick for the remaining week or so of the 2 week trial), given conflicting instructions by my superiors and fellow forklift employees intentionally to cause me to look bad, had to endure other forklift employees making sexual sounds over the radio that the supervisors could also hear but did nothing about, and when I asked my superior about these issues and behaviors, they shrugged it off. I was told "That's just how they are", they knew that one other employee had been causing me problems but they just said to me that he's an idiot and don't take what he says seriously, and if I wanted them to respect me, I had to yell and curse back at them over the radio BUT ONLY after the office staff have gone home for the day. But they didn't do anything. I had no other roles to go to at that time at that company due to the injuries sustained while working there. This is when I took the medical leave of absence.
Sexual Harassment #1/2 - In early September, it was my first week on the floor out of training and one of the supervisors approached me while I was operating a press and on the clock. He handed me a phone number and said to call it. Him being a supervisor, I thought it might be another supervisor that maybe needed to talk to me on break. I texted the number while on break in my car and got a picture back of two guys, shirtless, posing, who wanted to meet up. These things never end well if you are the female and you say thanks no thanks. Then other things start happening which is what happened. I went to human resources the next day and reported it to hopefully avoid retaliation or conflict but it didn't help. They pulled this person in, Sean is his name, spoke with him, and he ended up texting me again to which I said no basically. Then the supervisor who handed me this other persons number initially, confronted me while I was on the clock about reporting Sean, asking if I had been the one who reported him. He already knew it was me. Supposedly, my supervisor sent out an email to the other supervisors to talk to their staff to not hit on new female workers. Shortly thereafter, I was walking to my car for a break and two other employees were walking in front of me and one of them turned and mockingly said to me while laughing, "Oh no please don't sexually harass me". So now I am being ridiculed for reporting it. I no longer feel safe in the parking lot or in my car because that group of people seemingly were all "buddies". The supervisor who gave me Sean's number then gave me HIS number while I was on the floor working and wanted me to call/text him. He later would say things to me like, "well you can just look pretty and stand over here by me", he would frequently try to convince me to smoke weed despite it being against company policy, repetitively asked me to go drinking with him, offered to get me drugs from bikers to deal with my hand pain (it was gabapentin because he said it wont show up on the work drug screens), and when I was stacking crates one day and was working to get the male end into the female end of the crates he made a joke about how I'm like those women that just grab a man's penis and and say "oh just give it to me already and let me do it/put it in". I feared further reporting would NOT be kept confidential and could jeopardize my job and safety.

2023.03.31 16:05 xerosis23 Wrist pain that can not be diagnosed
I am 40M, 193cm, 105kg, Persian, Wrist pain, since Sep 2022, don't smoke, drink very little, no drugs, I live in Portugal.
So I have been dealing with this pain for a while and even though I have done physotherapy it is getting wrose. I have done X-ray and MRI and the doctor sees nothing there.
It happened naturaly, I may have overused mouse, keyboard due to my job, and I play basketball a bit, but no injury caused it.
He doesn't want to do cortisone injection because he is not even sure where the exact location is as I have pain almost in 3 different areas, and although I feel a shot of pain, I can't always 100% pinpoint the location, at times I also have pain at the base of my thumb but not necessarily always.
Basically:
They don't think it is carpal tunnel syndrome because there is no numbness and just the structure of the pain.
I am supposed to do a different MRI (color one) and since my last MRI was in December, and my pain has somewhat shifted (become more) they may find something.
Does anyone have any experience with something like this by any chance?
Thank you.

Basically:
- When it gets bent after a certain angle I feel a shot of pain in my wrist
- When I accidentally bend it real fast (like when I hit my desk, or throw something) the pain is massive (to the point where I get tears coming out of my eyes)
- When I push the bottom of my palm (like on a desk) I can feel the pain
- Initially I could play basketball with some pain, now I can not even handle dribbling the ball

The Company’s Safe Entry Stations – powered by a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) – use multispectral cameras to analyze physiological data patterns and predict a variety of health issues including infectious diseases such as COVID-19, impairment by drugs or alcohol, fatigue or various mental illnesses. https://preview.redd.it/r59o75inx2ra1.png?width=1724&format=png&auto=webp&s=28dc65fd94f9f89e4ff4ddb2be229345eb3bea9d PMED’s technology utilizes Multispectral devices and sensors to capture data from non-visible wavelengths from which we can extract features associated with impairment. Our AI algorithm analyzes these features, and the decision is made whether the individual shows signs of impairment. Major Defense $500K Revenue Order Announced Arguably, health and safety, while important in industry, is almost without question in defence environments. PMED has developed DefSpace which uses the Company’s proprietary AI tech to detect and manage mental impairment in the Defense, Space and Aerospace sectors.

The multi-spectral cameras and AI-algorithms scan indicate intoxication, impairment, sickness, and extreme fatigue. Safe Entry is a strong line of defence against encumbered employees, and we are excited to announce our first contract in the defence sector,” commented Dr. Rahul Kushwah, Chief Operating Officer at Predictmedix. The global workplace safety market was valued at $12.7 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $38.9 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 12.2% from 2021 to 2031. https://preview.redd.it/sfqwmqhux2ra1.png?width=345&format=png&auto=webp&s=665a401d24ff8d2eb37dc92fb9290f477558df3a PMED’s timing is, well, timely and fills a vast detection technology need that rose during the pandemic when this type of tech was not readily available. “The market is expected to grow rapidly after the pandemic, owing to rise in adoption of work-from-home culture across the globe. The global workplace safety market has also been significantly impacted. This pandemic has compelled governments, and enterprises to impose strict regulations for protecting employee’s health and contain the spread of this novel virus. These regulations caused serious repercussions. Many industries suffered a huge loss after these Impositions as these companies had to shut down.”(Allied Market Research) “We are excited to be moving ahead with commercialization in the defence space with DefSpace and are seeing tremendous interest across multiple verticals”, commented Guru Bakshish Singh Sehgal, Head of Indian operations at Predictmedix. Access this link and scroll down for a discussion of the benefits of Safe Entry from the Company’s Principals. PMED’s shares traded 300k shares, almost twice their daily average and are up 10 percent as at 2pm EST Monday March 6th, 2023: So investors are liking the news and the Company. While the company has no direct competition, comparable such as Cannabis Technologies Inc BLO: CNSX (cannabis breathalyzer company) trades at a $48 mill market cap vs PMED at CDN$12 million. Time to results for competitor Hound Labs which is planning an IPO and has raised CDN$130 million to date. Hound’s breathalyzer test takes 20 minutes. PMED’s takes 3-5 SECONDS. Yes, that’s correct. 3-5 seconds. Nada to Private Information. Predictmedix technology and future development should be enough to interest investors. Its primary benefit is the speed and accuracy with which it detects conditions, making it a massive time and money saver for global healthcare systems. The commercial use keeps employees safe and healthy. The fact that the system never retains personal information is also a significant plaudit to the technology. In conclusion, investors should try to think of a manufacturing, technology, defense, or other complex industry sector that PMED’s patented (pending and accrued) technology could save both lives and money. And with the added benefit that employees know that their employer makes their safety and well-being a reality, not just an empty promise. That the worker on the line and the pilot and gunner of an F18 are at peak performance is provable and virtually a given. |

2023.03.31 15:45 Xyt0 I didn't see why the Apex Court of India are continually debating whether marijuana seeds and leaves were illegal when they could have relied on recent sources and examples rather than conducting their own research.
Hi everyone I'm here to help you understand the law so that you can make informed decisions because sometimes I feel like we are just standing by and watching as people are wrongfully prosecuted by the state. There are many cases where bench judges have ruled that seeds and leaves are perfectly legal to possess and distribute without any fruiting tops, yet today the SC will hear a case regarding whether it is unlawful to sell, buy, or possess cannabis seeds.
Regardless of what others think, petitioners are free to approach them as well.
Why did the High Court of Gujarat deny this case bail when it was already there in front of their eyes?
I've also included a few links to sites that detail how the Bombay High Court and the Karnataka High Court have set an example by delivering swift justice under balanced conditions.

2023.03.31 15:42 Proof_Secretary_7074 The MtV Black Box
I'd like to take a different look at the case, in as far as I want to look specifically at the events surrounding the MtV.
I'm an engineer, not a lawyer, so I look at the world through that lens. In my field we have a lot of failures where we have a fault/failure of a component and we can't see inside the device to see what actually occurs to cause it. We call the place we cant see into a 'black box'. We know what inputs go into it and we can observe what comes out of it, but we don't know what happens inside of it. For me, the non-public part of the MtV hearing that happened in the judge's chambers is that black box.
Here is the summary of events as I know them. This is meant to be a framework for a discussion. Please feel free to offer suggestions or corrections to the time line. And yes, engineers like tables. :)
The shocking speed with which Adnan was given just one private and one public hearing and then immediately set free from prison leads me to believe that the evidence presented in chambers was clear that Adnan did not commit the crime. That couldn't be just that his DNA wasn't found anywhere amongst the items from Hae's car that were tested. We know from evidence presented in his trial, that Adnan's fingerprints were in Hae's car. It wouldn't be surprising if his DNA was there as well.
I believe that the judge in the MtV case was given proof in her chambers that a known violent offender had touched items that ended up in Hae's car. I believe that the first two sets of DNA tests reveal that it was the same person. Also, the two test results were likely from different items, thus eliminating an innocent transmission of the DNA by means of that violent offender brushing past Hae in a crowd or touching something she did, etc. That would explain why Mosby felt confident enough to go forward with the MtV, even though the third DNA test results were still pending and likely only a few weeks away.
Why did Jay know so much about the body and her burial? Jay may have been brought in to help with the body by the real killer. I saw theorized on this forum previously, that this person could have been someone that had power over him and that he could not rat out. The theory was that it was Jay's drug supplier. Then when the police got a hold of Jay, and he had to tell a story, he simply substituted Adnan's name for the real killer's.
Who could the real killer be? I live near Baltimore. The nightly news is 3/4 murder coverage and 1/4 house fires. There's no shortage of violet offenders in the area. :
If there is really solid evidence against the actual killer, why hasn't the state brought charges yet? Complete conjecture, but I can see a few possibilities. 1) Cases take a long time to be worked up anyway, this one might require more time because it is so high profile, and the state can't afford another blunder in the prosecution. 2) The prosecutor may have DNA evidence, but twenty years later is having a hard time overcoming an alibi or establishing some other facet of the case. Or 3) there is another, known to the prosecutor's office, pending criminal charge against the killer that takes precedence over Hae's murder. And they have to wait for that to be cleared before they can proceed with this one.
Thoughts?

Here is the summary of events as I know them. This is meant to be a framework for a discussion. Please feel free to offer suggestions or corrections to the time line. And yes, engineers like tables. :)
| Date | Activity | Conjecture |
|---|---|---|
| 2021-October | Feldman appointed to review Syed's conviction | |
| 2022-March | Feldman asks judge to order DNA to be tested from Hae's car | due to length of time from Feldman's assignment to the case and the request to test DNA, case is likely a low priority for the prosecutor's office |
| 2022-June | Feldman pulls Hae Min Lee case records, presumably for the first time | DNA results came back and either had no sign of Adnan where the killer would have left DNA or, more likely, had a known violent offender's DNA |
| 2022-August | 2nd Round of DNA testing is complete | The DNA test results either still have no sign of Adnan or more likely the same violent offender found in the initial March request, prompting the MtV filing |
| 2022-September | non-public portion of MtV that occured in Judge's chambers | This is the black box. Conjecture is that evidence presented in chambers is unassailable of either Adnan's innocence or someone else's guilt. I agree completely that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. More likely the DNA point to another's guilt |
| 2022-September | Public MtV occurs, judge orders vacation of sentence and Adnan to be set free immediately | The public reasons given for the quick vacatur of sentence state that there were Brady violations in Adnan's original trial and untrustworthy cell phone data and trial witnesses |
| 2022-October | 3rd round DNA results are complete | These results confirm the previous two DNA results and prompted Mosby to say she is willing to sign off on actual innocence if presented the papers from Adnan's lawyers |
| 2022-November | Urick tweets a typed version of his handwritten note that was used in the MtV. He says it is not a Brady violation, but actually more evidence against Adnan, not evidence of another suspect | Mosby replies to his tweet, and insinuates he should have tested the hair sample from Hae's car |

 | Hello , I have this case which I really love but the s reen protector included has such close tolerance to the case that it would pull up on the protector or push on it stopping it from adhering properly. Wondering if anyone that knows of a protector that covers the whole front and it a bit thin so I can put the case over top of it . Or also if someone knows a protector that works better with this case. Thanks submitted by CheetahRound8282 to GalaxyFold [link] [comments] |
2023.03.31 15:27 HotSarcasm $ANVS: Newly Filed SEC Form 8-K: "Based on the results of the interim analysis, the Company intends to proceed with the trial as planned in accordance with the previously established protocol."
The only line anyone here really cares about:
"Based on the results of the interim analysis, the Company intends to proceed with the trial as planned in accordance with the previously established protocol."
---
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Annovis Bio, Inc. (NYSE: ANVS) (the “Company”) has received the interim analysis for sample size re-estimation for its Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of early Parkinson’s Disease (“PD”). This trial, which was initiated in August 2022, is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Buntanetap in patients with early PD.
The Phase 3 trial is designed to enroll 450 early PD patients, which are separated into three cohorts of 150 patients. Patients are randomly assigned to receive either 10 or 20 mg of Buntanetap or placebo once per day. The trial’s primary endpoints will be evaluated after patients have been treated for six months using the following measures: the MDS-Unified PD Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part II and III, which is a 42-item rating scale designed to assess PD-related disability and impairment, and evaluates activities of daily living and motor function; and safety and tolerability, which is assessed using physical examinations, vital signs, clinical laboratory test results, electrocardiogram findings, adverse events leading to study discontinuation, drug related adverse events, severity of adverse events and adverse events.
The Company has received the results of the pre-planned interim analysis conducted by a data analytics provider based on 132 patients from all cohorts collectively for which baseline and two-month data was available. As the interim analysis was conducted at two months of the six-month endpoint and only on 132 patients, it may not be indicative of the results at six months for the full patient population because as the trial progresses, clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues and more patient data become available, or different conclusions or considerations may qualify such results once additional data have been received and fully evaluated. Based on the results of the interim analysis, the Company intends to proceed with the trial as planned in accordance with the previously established protocol. The Company remains blinded to the Phase 3 trial and does not have safety or efficacy data from the trial. A separate safety interim analysis is in process and the Company expects that interim analysis to be released in the second quarter of 2023.

2023.03.31 15:11 Xyt0 I couldn't understand why India's highest courts are constantly wasting their time deciding whether seeds and leaves were ganja. Rather than conducting your own research, always lead by example.

2023.03.31 15:02 AutoModerator DISMTools v0.2.2 - The last of a series
After 1 month of development and 4 previews in total, DISMTools 0.2.2 is finally released as part of the last in the 0.2 series. So, before mentioning the new features in this release, I'd thought on sharing some facts of this series that have been important for the present and future development stages of DISMTools.
While we can't estimate when will this next version be completed, we know that it may take longer to develop than 0.2, due to the amount of features
submitted by AutoModerator to DISMTools [link] [comments]
The DISMTools 0.2 series, in facts
Lines of code (sloc)
DISMTools 0.1.1, the last release in the 0.1 series, sat at 41656 lines of code, which was impressive at its time; but was quickly surpassed by the 0.2 series, which currently sits at 81670 lines. A 40014 line difference, which may be incredible at first, but isn't in reality considering it will be surpassed by the 0.3 series.Development timespan
From the start of 0.2 development to the release of 0.2.2, DISMTools 0.2 series has taken almost 4 months, from 2 December 2022 to 31 March 2023; with each release following a release schedule procedure of 2 months for a major release and 1 month for each minor release.Key features
The following key features were introduced in DISMTools 0.2 series: - DISMTools 0.2 introduced the detection of feature updates of a Windows 10/11 image, background processes, provisioned AppX package servicing, volume image removal and automatic creation of logs - DISMTools 0.2.1 introduced the mounted image manager, began the usage of the DISM API (which severely improved lots of actions), image component cleanup options and support for MSIX and MSIXBUNDLE packages in the AppX package addition dialogDISMTools 0.2.2
Now, with the previous releases sorted out, we come back to the present with this release. And so, here are some of the new features and bugfixes:What's new?
- Added almost-complete language support and system language detections
- The DISM API is used in more places
- Drag-and-drop support for the AppX package addition dialog
- A store logo asset previewer in the AppX package addition dialog
- A faster extraction of an AppX package's manifest
- Image properties now get Windows feature updates for images on the new Dev channel (23xxx build range), and new 2022 Update Moments
- Project creation no longer requires the target directory to exist in order to create a project
What's fixed? (in chronological order)
- Fixed an issue where the program would not get image properties if multiple images were mounted (Preview 1)
- Fixed an issue with the background processes window where, if the main window was moved before opening it, it would show in the wrong location (Preview 1)
- Fixed an issue where the Settings window would appear in the top-left corner of the screen when showing image detection settings with the main window minimized (Preview 1)
- Fixed a critical issue where the program would crash when clicking "Project properties" if the mounted image detector was running (Preview 1)
- Fixed an issue where the program assumed there was an image mounted on a newly created project (Preview 1)
- Fixed an issue where the background processes would start when a servicing session of an image not loaded was reloaded from the mounted image manager (Preview 2)
- Fixed an issue where the program always assumed every image loaded had read-only permissions (Preview 2)
- Fixed an issue where the mounted image detector would not start after loading the Project/Image properties dialog (Preview 3)
- Fixed an issue where the image unmount dialog assumed every directory was a mount directory (Preview 4)
- Fixed a critical issue where the program would crash when loading the image index removal dialog (Preview 3 -> Preview 4)
- Fixed an issue that didn't disable the actions in the mounted image manager when no item was selected (Preview 4)
- Fixed an issue where the program would not perform operations with any operation value containing spaces
