If no one around him cares or notices, he'll get tired of it and move on to something healthier. Like peddling his rear end at truck stops for meth money.

cargo cult posted:I have a friend who is clinically diagnosed with schizophrenia/manic depressive disorder, but for some reason he's a pscyh major? Is there ANY way you can become a qualified therapist/psychologist with that kind of poo poo on your record? What are other career options with a psych major? High School Guidance counselor? Aren't most Psych majors either mentally ill or self-diagnosed with something? He sounds like he has a promising career ahead of him.

cargo cult posted:My question was mostly are you inherently disqualified from being a practicing therapist due to mental health conditions. Also I have to take issue with the idea of Psychologists as scientists, Psychiatrists are MDs, hence them allowed to have prescription pads, I have no loving idea what they train psych majors in but it's not science. Psychologists do research and therapeutic work, as well as corporate gigs. They don't get scrip pads but if they're in counseling they usually have an MD who will sign off to whatever they think is the likeliest med for their patients. There is no broad disqualification for mental illnesses across the board. To paraphrase Forrest Gump "crazy is as crazy does," and a lot of pre-employment screening is intended to catch people who fit a pattern of mental illness.

Another Person posted:Why do most Americans seem to hate on New Jersey? More so than other states that is. Not being British I don't quite understand the concept of "chavs." Nevertheless I can assure you that the stereotypes about NJ is that it is absolutely packed with chavs. See also the television programme Jersey Shore. Oh, and the mob drama The Sopranos "takes place" there. According to Kevin Smith, noted Jersey local and fat director, most of NJ is pretty bucolic and nice but then you see these (just about put a mean/dumb ethnic slur about Italians here) Gottis and welp:

dee eight posted:That's weird. You should have a key that's identical for the ignition/door, or two keys, one for doors and trunk, one for ignition. I had a Subaru Outback that had a separate key for the tailgate. It was because of the fact that it had had its rear end clipped off, presumably in an accident, and a new one Frankensteined on. The Carfax did not mention this salient bit of information. My mom pointed out that the wear on the bottom parts of the fenders and doors didn't match front to back.

CatchrNdRy posted:I am having intermittent internet connection problems. If your modem is solid, and all your devices are intermittently getting crapped on it's your router taking intermittent craps. Is it overheating? Do you live in a apt/neighborhood where you see a lot of other people's networks? You can try inSSIDer to see if your signal is getting stomped on by your neighbors routers and then see if there's a frequency you can switch to that's cleaner.

stubblyhead posted:I have a Logitech headset w/ microphone either identical or very similar to this one. I've been pretty happy with it for the most part, but the insulation where the output wire joins the connector is starting to split apart. This is after six months of not quite daily usage, and I definitely haven't been being rough with it. Any recommendations for a replacement? Something with a single connector for speakers and mic would be preferable, but not a requirement. No idea on the replacement but just as a heads-up, if you have a worn out, busted or otherwise messed up Logitech product, chances are if you contact them they'll replace it with either the same thing or something newer/better for free.

stubblyhead posted:Oh, that's good to know. Is their warranty department pretty easy to work with? I don't think I still have the original receipt, though it was a work purchase so it's possible. Some goons in the mouse thread (yes there is such a thing) have had insanely positive experiences with their customer support. Just suggesting that you might have a problem seems to motivate them to ship you a brand new equivalent of something you bought in 2005 because the scroll wheel is sticking or what have you. I would hope the same applies to headsets, definitely hit them up about it. Don't worry about the receipt, a hosed up cord in a six month period is a big deal to them and they probably would like to know how/why that happened.

Cymbal Monkey posted:There's a part of the brain that has a fairly significant size variance from person to person, I sadly don't remember which bit. But studies show that people who have the larger version of this bit pick up languages really quickly and easily, while people who have smaller ones just have to suck that metaphorical dick. I suspect that most people in those lines of work have that larger bit of brain. Does this correlate with learning your primary language quickly? I'd like to think that speaking and reading early means I'd catch a break if I ever try learning a new language.

Lichtenstein posted:I spilled a soft drink on my laptop's keyboard a few days ago. I wiped it out as good as I could, but some of the keys are still sticky from the bottom side, making them hard to press. How can I salvage the situation, as I suppose I can't just rip the keys off, clean it and put them back like I would do with a "normal" keyboard of a desktop PC? The mechanism for laptop keys often resembles a tiny ironing board with about 3 different plastic pieces that snap together underneath each key. They're very small and delicate and if you aren't careful they can snap as you try to pry the keys off. If you plan on doing this to very many keys it might be a good idea to secure some replacement parts beforehand or you'll be googling for them on the little rubber nubs underneath all that stuff.

Regarding the retention of youtube (public domain only) videos, Download Helper is another awesome, easy to use tool.

Is there a way to transition a Facebook profile page for an author/famous person that let's you keep all of your 'friends' as 'fans'? It seems like what they want you to do is set up an organization page and request all your friends 'like' that but that would end up losing some of the users in the transition. It's for a friend who thinks as a "computer guy" I know anything about Facebook, but I really don't.
