Hello all, just found this sub, and it's such a wonderful place. It definitely would have helped when my journey began over 10 years ago.

Alcoholism runs in my family. My parents are "weekend and social event drinkers" but they overdo it every time, and my stepfather lost his license from repeated DUIs. I remember the time my mother almost died after the car flipped 4 times, and we staged an intervention to help them quit drinking. They cut contact with their kids for 2 years as punishment. They're in their 70s and still drink to this day.

I barely remember anything from 2006-2015 due to my drinking. As a lover of heavy metal and the culture that comes with it, I was dedicated to my pref

Howdy all, been playing since GH1 came out, but a couple years back I had ulnar nerve surgery on my fret hand-side elbow. Though I play, I haven't been able to get back to where I used to be, mostly because of flare ups and my fingers going numb after a while. Do any players out there have similar issues and training they've done or practice regimes they recommend to work around this problem?

I love playing, and the doctor told me though I may have some residual nerve pain/muscle atrophy, playing Gh/CH/RB should be fine in moderation. However it's been a real struggle this past year.

I was recently experiencing this issue out of the blue, and searching for an answer over the past few days. Had the same conditions as others, resetting the browser and full reinstall did not fix the problem. Google and Reddit was of some help, getting me to make a shortcut with the "--disable-gpu" flag. This was fine, but watching videos/youtube/twitch made the videos a stuttering mess. Here's how I managed to fix the issue after sorting through how hardware acceleration works in chrome.

• Create a shortcut on the desktop pointing to Chrome with the --disable-gpu flag in the "Target" field after the path to Chrome.
• Open it and go to **chrome://flags/#use-ang

Howdy y'all, me and my partner recently (6 months as of yesterday) rescued a 6 year old American Eskimo dog. He's been through a lot in his abusive past, and thus has behavioral issues. He becomes extremely fear aggressive in grooming situations.

Although training him has been rewarding, we still want to protect ourselves. Its been difficult for me to find bite-proof gloves/arm-length kevlar.

Any recommendations for handler's gloves or something similar?

I have a very basic understanding of audio as a whole, but how do different classes of codecs transform audio as we know it? How are newer codecs made and used to make audio lossless?

I started as a DM in October of 2019. I found that there's a lot of people out there who have played one or two games of D&D, and then their party dissolved for various reasons, and never played again.

I wrote a nice intro to D&D campaign "session zero module" to help ease them into the three pillars of D&D and like. I opted to run the Lost Mines of Phandelver, being a new DM. one of my players had previously made it about 50% of the way through this campaign. We had an extremely thorough discussion about him not metagaming whatsoever, that his character was not to know what he knows.

This stayed true until we got to one of the chapter 2 areas (Tresendar Manor), where he trie

For example, rhyming we hear is know and crow - why is the last half of a word the rhyme, and not the first half, such as know and knit?
