  22. <title>SIBO, potat-oh, FODMAP-oh...</title>
  23. <description><![CDATA[You or a loved one have experienced mysterious gut issues in the last few years. You found good information somewhere, acted on it, and now said gut issues are largely a thing of the past. What did you learn and how did you act on it?<br/><br/>For the last few years, I've had steadily worsening health issues that seem to originate in my gut. <br>
  24. <br>
  25. Dry skin, hair, nails, eyes. Poor pooping. Near-constant intestinal gas, often of the hellish sulfuric-smelling kind. <br>
  26. <br>
  27. I take betaine HCL, digestive enzymes, and a host of other supplements including a good quality omega-3 supplement. I eat a good amount of "good" carbs along with quality animal protein and healthy fats. My skin and eyes are still dry as dust. And I'm pooping less than I ever have (despite daily psyllium seed).<br>
  28. <br>
  29. Thyroid tests are inconclusive at best. I did, however, have a positive Candida result a  year or so ago. No SIBO tests yet, but those are coming, God willing. <br>
  30. <br>
  31. Oh, the multitudes of possible treatments for conditions that sound like mine, some of which apparently can be counterproductive.<br>
  32. <br>
  33. Anyway. Maybe you or a loved one were like me once. After treatment, you're doing much better. <br>
  34. <br>
  35. Did you find a good doctor? What kind of doctor? A good information source online or in a book, maybe? What did you do?]]></description>

  53. <title>Tokyo food recs for multi-gen family?</title>
  54. <description><![CDATA[I'll be in Tokyo this summer (in Shinjuku) with my partner, elementary school kid and older parents. I'm feeling stuck on lunch and dinner spots to go to.<br/><br/>It'll be 5 of us total most of the time. Two people don't eat raw fish. Three people will not wait in a long line, likely anything 20 min+. One person will definitely complain if they feel it's a tourist rip off spot. Otherwise, we love all Japanese foods and familiar with them. <br>
  55. <br>
  56. Please give some specific recs for where we can go. I've been struggling through the long lists in tabelog and bento.com to find tasty, high-rated places that could take in a larger group and is kid-friendly. also open to any dessert/coffee/treat spots!]]></description>

  65. <title>Right-to-left Cartesian planes</title>
  66. <description><![CDATA[Has there ever been a convention for a Cartesian-style plane read right-to-left?<br/><br/>Ren&#233; Descartes is acknowledged as the originator of the mathematical convention for planes of coordinates, with an (<em>x,y</em>) axis, read with positive <em>x</em> values to the right and negative values to the left. But he didn't invent algebra, nor geometry, nor algebra about geometry, and many of the mathematicians who preceded him read and wrote in scripts (Arabic, Persian, Hebrew) which are read right-to-left. So has there ever been a convention for geometrical planes read in this way?]]></description>

  80. <title>Sensory friendly sweaters &amp;amp; sweatshirts for sensitive tender flowers</title>
  81. <description><![CDATA[I'm looking for recommendations about the most sensory friendly sweaters and sweatshirts that will be oh so soft and gentle on my very sensitive skin. Example of at least one I like is within. Thank you!<br/><br/>I am searching the world for sensory friendly clothes all the time, and right now what I need the most are 3-4 sweatshirts that are:<br>
  82. <br>
  83. Nice enough looking to wear at work when the building is too cold<br>
  84. Very soft on the inside so it's gentle on my super sensitive skin<br>
  85. Soft seams or very few seams<br>
  86. Comes in black (and maybe dark purple or hot pink)<br>
  87. Is either a short crop OR longer than waist length, even tunic length would be so great<br>
  88. Comes in plus sizes (I wear roughly 2-3x or around size 20-22 in most things, for Universal Standard, my general fave, I wear a M or L depending on the garment.)<br>
  89. <br>
  90. Thumbholes would be the cherry on top but not necessary.<br>
  91. <br>
  92. The Universal Standard one that I love is the Lauren Core sweatshirt, but they discontinued it.  I have 2 of them right now but I've had them since 2019 I think and they are lookin' a bit rough at this point.<br>
  93. <br>
  94. Links are much appreciated if possible - thanks for helping me crowdsource my sensory comfort!]]></description>

  110. <title>Chicago: Seeking IT Help for a Melting Server Rack (and Beyond) </title>
  111. <description><![CDATA[Do you know of any contract IT providers in Chicago that are great?<br/><br/>I am working for a company in Chicago that currently has about 100 tb of data on a  rack of Qualstar servers that is chronically overheating. (Think, archive of decades worth of stuff, not terribly well sorted)<br>
  112. <br>
  113. We have ordered new hardware, but now we need someone with expertise to help us get the data transferred. We will help us with ongoing IT stuff that you might expect a group of &lt;20 people using computers every day, and are in a moment where the ownership of our small company is changing hands, so there may be some IT issues that will come up with that too. <br>
  114. <br>
  115. Thanks in advance for your recommendations!]]></description>

  124. <title>What if all jurors are threatend after jury is seated and trial started?</title>
  125. <description><![CDATA[As I understand it in a criminal trial there are some alternate jurors who hear the case but are not involved in rendering the final verdict. What happens if the defendant, just before deliberations begin, threatens to beat up all the jurors who vote to convict? If there are not 12 alternate jurors to replace the ones now fearing for their lives what is the outcome? And anyway, the alternate jurors will also be intimidated by the threat. Would you have to start the trial over? Will there be a default ruling of guilty by the judge?]]></description>

  134. <title>absolutely more &quot;absolutely&quot;</title>
  135. <description><![CDATA[Is it just me or are more and more people using the word "absolutely" as a standard affirmative response (in the place of "sure" or "no problem")? This feels especially noticeable in podcasts, but I also hear the word frequently in bricks and mortar retail and coffee shops etc. Is this a podcast thing? A 2020s thing?<br/><br/>Aubrey Gordon' of Maintenance Phase does an emphatic "Totally!" that I find very charming. But I might be hitting my absolute limit for absolutely.]]></description>

  146. <title>Help me feel better about airbrushed images at work</title>
  147. <description><![CDATA[I work for a company that designs household electronics. Recently, management added a large photo mural to the wall of the corridor that I work on, with 20 head shots of female models using some of the hair products which are one of the wide range of products that the company makes. It's the sort of thing that would be in magazines: there's not a freckle, wrinkle, stray hair or blemish in sight. Everyone has perfect, smooth skin and is thin and young and beautiful. Looking at this mural every day upsets me.<br/><br/>Normally I am happy with how I look and manage not to think about it too much, but I can't help feeling inadequate when I have to see all of these faces multiple times a day. I try to rationalise that the images are probably airbrushed, and that no-one said I had to compete with these beautiful people, and that there's much more important things in life.<br>
  148. <br>
  149. In reality, I feel slightly angry that I have no choice but to look at the sort of unrealistic images I normally avoid. However, I feel like complaining about the mural would make me a target. Most employees are men but I am a woman. There is no easy avenue for feedback to management in this company. <br>
  150. <br>
  151. Does anyone have any coping strategies? This is really getting me down more than it should. How can I change my feelings about this mural?]]></description>

  162. <title>What should I read about Quebec?</title>
  163. <description><![CDATA[We're taking a family trip to Quebec Province, what novels should I read?<br/><br/>I'm already aware of the Louise Penny Inspector Gamache novels, and might try one even though mysteries (and a lot of genre fiction) are not usually my thing. I'd love something well-written, with a sense of place. Maybe historical fiction, maybe memoir. Fiction is ideal but literary non-fiction is good too, or long form magazine articles. Doesn't have to be contemporary, but it is for pleasure reading so nothing too laborious or academic.<br>
  164. <br>

  174. <title>Good movie for romantic anniversary movie night?</title>
  175. <description><![CDATA[A friend's celebration of their 23rd anniversary includes a quiet movie night at home. They have some favorite standbys they've already seen, but I wondered if the hive mind might have any great suggestions.<br/><br/>Pretty unsurprising criteria: romantic, comedy or comedy-adjacent, happy ending. Something reflecting a long relationship rather than an early relationship would probably be good. All cinema eras welcome.<br>

  189. <title>Creative kitchen storage ideas?</title>
  190. <description><![CDATA[We have a pretty small kitchen and then a little area for the dining table. The existing cabinets of the kitchen are already filled with pots and pans, dishes, cups, etc.<br/><br/>We have a handy rolling cart thingy in the main kitchen area that we store the microwave and rice cooker on top of and then there's some open storage at the bottom we used for stuff like canned food pasta sauce, etc. The problem is, we have more stuff to store, like snacks, cup ramen, paper plates/cups, aluminum baking trays, tupperware, etc. This would have to be stored basically next to the dining table and right now some of it's ON the dining table and some just strewn on the ground. For those who don't have a walk-in pantry, how are you storing these items in the least eyesore-y way?]]></description>

  224. <title>Any value in getting free Experian credit monitoring service?</title>
  225. <description><![CDATA[So Institution X screwed-up and some of my personal info got loose, including my full name, SSN, and possibly my driver's license number. To compensate, Institution X is offering free "Experian IdentityWorks Credit 3B" for 24 months ...<br/><br/>This includes credit monitoring, identity restoration specialists should I need them, extended identity restoration support, and $1M identity theft insurance.<br>
  226. <br>
  227. I've had security freezes active at the three major credit bureaus for years now. In order to sign up for the above, I'd have to remove the freezes, sign-up, and restore the freezes. It seems like a big hassle, so I want to know: Is it worth it?]]></description>

  237. <title>Policies for claiming DNS entry from a vanished owner</title>
  238. <description><![CDATA[My sister's organization has a domain name that was registered by a now vanished member.  The registrar is properly suspicious of this claim and I am gathering information before we go to the next step.<br/><br/>I would like to go in well armed so I'm trying to find any ownership dispute policies inherited from ICANN or PIR (it's a .org) that must be followed by the registrar as part of their contract.  I'm not finding any and they may not exist, so I thought I'd toss this out to the hive mind and see if anyone happens to know if such policies exist or it is entirely up to the registrar's discretion.]]></description>

  250. <title>Can&apos;t find a specific city in Facebook events</title>
  251. <description><![CDATA[I have a strange issue with Facebook events lately. I like to browse Facebook events in cities nearby occasionally. But lately I can't find any events in Philadelphia, PA. I can type in pretty much any other city in the "Location" box on FB Events. I can't find a setting related to this anywhere. This used to work as of maybe a week ago? It's a little difficult to google.]]></description>

  262. <title>Stanley Whitney Prints</title>
  263. <description><![CDATA[I am looking for Stanley Whitney prints available online (or in the Toronto area).<br/><br/>I saw a great Stanley Whitney exhibit recently and would love to get a print. The museum store did not have one, and I am having difficulty locating anything online that is not (rightfully very expensive) original art. Any help appreciated!]]></description>

  273. <title>story help: password protection for folders</title>
  274. <description><![CDATA[Help with a story I'm writing. How would you password protect a folder of material you don't want other people to see, in the mid 2010s, if you're only averagely computer-savvy?<br/><br/>I know you can password protect folders in Windows 10 and 11, but I'm sure I tried password protecting folders on an old laptop and couldn't get it to work. (But then I am <em>less</em> than averagely computer savvy!)<br>
  275. <br>
  276. I know you can password protect documents but don't know how you would do it with pictures etc.<br>
  277. <br>
  278. The character would not be putting these pictures onto any online drives like Google Drive or Dropbox.<br>
  279. <br>
  280. They are wealthy and love gadgets and probably have access to top of the line stuff but aren't particularly good at using any of it. <br>
  281. <br>
  282. Could such a folder be deleted without having access to the password?]]></description>
