Originally posted by Zanick I've upgraded and so far, it hasn't happened. You seem to have hit the target with that suggestion, but I won't know until I've watched it for a few days.
Let us know. There are still other things it can be.
Originally posted by Zanick I've opened the activity monitor although I'm not sure how to interpret all this information. I do see that the CPU column for this site is fluctuating dramatically, however. First 1%, then 30%, now 10%. What should I make of this?
This is normal. Sorting the column by CPU will show whichever processes are currently using the most CPU cycles. So, it's sorting by CPU usage. It will change from moment to moment.
If you receive that error again, open Activity Monitor and see if Safari is indeed using high CPU or a large amount of RAM.
You can also monitor Disk activity as well as network. Try to determine what seems to be power hungry when that error appears.
Of course, we hope that updating MacOS and in turn, Safari, will have cleared all of this up, but there are some other tricks we can try if it doesn't. -
2018-07-10 at 12:15 AM UTC in "This webpage is using significant energy. Closing it may improve the responsiveness of your Mac."Reboot into Safe Mode (Hold shift on boot after chime) and open Activity Monitor and Safari.
Use things as you normally would and see if you get that error message. If so, look at Activity Monitor and take notes of what is happening.
Does your CPU/RAM usage spike? Do you notice the fan speed increase?
It sounds like it could be a memory leak problem, but we need more information to be sure.
Did you update to High Sierra? Or at least, are you using the latest versions of Safari? -

Originally posted by aldra not sure what I'd do with PCB specs outside of getting knockoff boards fabricated
Yeah, it's kinda specialized information. I use them to help diagnose and repair iPhones and iPads. They are extremely helpful when needing to run a microjumper but don't know where you need to make the connection. It maps out the circuit for you so you can tap into it from another location.
Or let's say you're getting some crazy readings from a component, you can use the boardview files to trace a short in the line.
And in the case of laptop motherboard schematics, I'll use those to repair a faulty component on a customer's motherboard rather than replace the entire board to perform the repair. Hardware, component-level repair still exists.
Very handy for me, but a lot of people won't use it at all. I thought someone might be interested in them anyway. -

Originally posted by HTS Are you really using the fact that you aren't fucking dead to justify how responsible you are as a person? 😅
Aren't dead, not living in complete disarray, my life isn't in shambles, I am genuinely happy and never depressed or feeling regret with recent decisions I have made, I have a solid career, my own business, on point to purchase a home next year, happily married, own 2 vehicles fully paid for, life is honestly better than it ever has been.
That's what I meant. -

Originally posted by Cootehill Thanks, interesting post. Is getting addicted to opiates damaging, or is it something that can be undone.
Of course it's damaging. Time heals all wounds though, regardless of what some pansy MOON PERSON says.
It fucked up my life. I'm still paying for it. I will pay for it for the rest of my life, but it doesn't have to own me. I am so disconnected from that person, I barely recognize him now.Is trying to stop opiates getting into the hands of potential addicts completely pointless.
Yes, to a degree. It's like trying to force gun control. If someone wants a gun badly enough, they'll find a way to get one regardless of any laws in their way. Same with opiates or any other substance.Do you think regular opiate users are people who are missing pleasure from their lives, and need a more rewarding life situation?
Depends on the severity, I think. Same could be said about all drugs. Some people use them to ENHANCE their lives, much like people drink in social settings.
Some people can abuse opiates and it provides some sort of positive experience for them. Unfortunately, that is not the case with most people.
For MOST PEOPLE, it becomes an out of control thing where it consumes their life and all their decisions. Alcohol can do that, marijuana can do that, meth can do that. -

Originally posted by Glokula's Homabla grimace isnt actually cllean he just replaced opiates with hardcore alcoholism which is actually worse in a lot of ways
Clean and sober are two different things. I am clean of drugs. I am NOT sober.
Also, while I do heavily partake in the ale, it is still confined to the weekend. That is the only time you've ever seen me - the weekend.
You've never seen me Mon-Fri, the business owner, the husband, the gardener, the guy who goes to the park at 6am to run and look at swans and ducks like a fag. You've never met him.
If your only experience with me is on a weekend, it's easy to paint pictures of what my life must be like, but having not see me throughout a normal week, you have no idea what sort of life I live.
While I drink hard on the weekend, I otherwise handle my shit and don't allow something as stupid as a drink to make decisions for me or my life. I still make the responsible decision every time. That's why I am where I am today and not lying in a ditch or dead. -

Originally posted by Cootehill Genuine congratulations. Since you (no sarcasm) seem to know more than me, how would you approach solving opiate use?
I don't know if it can ever be truly "solved". People are going to use the substances they want to use regardless of any legal aspects. So laws and regulations won't help the situation. We should all be well aware of that now, since this whole "War on Drugs" started in the 1960's and the revamp of the Reagan era in the 1980s. That isn't to say that a lack of laws and regulations will solve it either. People are going to use either way.
However, there are certain things that will make it better and society is slowly moving to that point. Immunity for those who call for an ambulance for an overdosing friend. Many people don't call for fear of being arrested themselves. I was dumped out in front of a children's hospital myself when I overdosed once. My friends didn't want to be caught with me, for fear of being arrested. Immunity from arrest for the sake of saving a life is one step.
All emergency and first response personnel carrying Narcan. They are doing this in most major cities, but it should be widespread. Carry it. It could save a life.
Offer true rehabilitation rather than prison sentences for possession (or even small amount sales) charges. Prison doesn't rehabilitate. Prison doesn't address the fundamental root of the addiction. Prison also doesn't provide the needed psychological and addition support services and what little it does provide, is laughable at best. A true rehabilitation system should be the first step in the court system. This, of course, is hard to make work. There are some things about AA/NA that ring true, like "hitting rock bottom". I don't like to use that phrase, but what it refers to is real. The addict isn't going to seek or accept help until they themselves want it. Only when they want it for themselves will they accept help. You can send them to rehab or prison all you want, but if they never reach the point where they're ready to try and stop, then they won't. Prison doesn't adequately address that for most people and unfortunately, neither does most rehabs. Sending people straight to prison over a possession charge, making them a felon, taking away certain welfare benefits from them because they're a felon (like food stamps in certain states), blacklisting them from many job opportunities, etc. It's a system that is setup for the convicted to fail and return to incarceration. Incarcerate them, make them a felon so they can't get a job, take away welfare systems so they can't get food or monetary aid if charged with a drug related charge, offer them no rehabilitation or skills to cope with the fundamental reason they started using in the first place, and let them out on the street. What are a large portion of them going to do? The only thing they knew before they got locked up. Buy, use, and sell drugs. Arrested. Incarceration. Rinse. Repeat. Revolving door.
So saying all of that, I don't know if there is any actual "solution" to drug addiction or opiate addiction in particular. Those who want to use will use no matter what. However, we, as a society, can offer those who are addicted much more help than we currently are, lessen the crime status of the possession or small sales of drugs, and start treating those addicted with rehabilitation and therapy rather than incarceration.
I don't have a fix-all answer for you. It only worked for me because I was sick and tired of getting arrested over and over and over and in and out of prisons and rehabs and the constant up and down of being an addict. I was ready to quit because I hated my life. It just so happened to coincide with my arrest and 2.5 year prison incarceration. Speaking from someone who has been in prison, I can say with certainty that prison (at least the GA prison system) offers fuck all to addicts and prison itself is loaded with drugs. It's not the right answer for drug addiction. I don't know what is the right answer, but it's not that. -

Originally posted by Cootehill She was a victim of opiates, which are imported and produced by jedis.
The war on drugs is literally a jedi plot to control the competition, to pathologise responsible drug use, and to prevent real, effective interventions in opiate users lives.
I am a former heroin addict myself. IV heroin user, went to prison for heroin and cocaine possession and oxycodone with intent to distribute. I know about opiate addiction plenty. I went on to become an entrepreneur. I now own my own business and am quite successful in life. Just celebrated 10 years clean.
Not every opiate addiction story ends with death. -
2018-07-08 at 10:13 PM UTC in I think something might have happened to hydroPoor people can't afford the super high cost of modern HIV medications. They get put on low-tier, 90-s era meds that are known to be ineffective and at best, only prolong life by a few extra years. Compound that with her continued rampant drug abuse, promiscuous lifestyle, etc. It's no wonder that the medication she was taking didn't even have a chance. She didn't allow it to.
I will say that, that nigga hydro was bout it-bout it. Shit-tier life till she died. -

I swear that nigga has some sort of notification setup where when someone posts a thread with "hydro" in the title, it spams the shit out of his phone so he knows instantly to throw everything down and race to his computer to post.

Originally posted by Lanny wow man, you've really given me something to think about. I thought between highly scripting my content, rehearsing beforehand, and generally making a strong effort to make top quality content my video about drunkenly adding a feature to forum software that less than a hundred people use I was going to really come off as charismatic and produce a polished product. But I guess I'm just really not cut out for the youtube celebrity business after all. Another dream I guess I'll never realize.
It wasn't even the presentation. It was how you sound like you're talking through a cup attached to a string, attached to a mic on the other end. In addition to that, you don't enunciate your words much. I understand you're drunk, but holy shit. You're so soft-spoken and can barely speak. You sound intimidated by the microphone. Fix dat' shit. -
