Figure out the best way to non/minimally destructively upload new software/firmware to the devices and dump whatever you can extract on github. Let the internet do the rest.

Trying new meds, of any variety, can be a tough process. We've been through a lot, then back to some, then to different meds. What can really suck is when you find a med that works, but the side effects aren't tolerable. We had that problem with risperidone. Having the insight to know that you or your partner need to try something new is incredibly valuable. I hope abilify works out for your partner and your nurse practitioner had a good option for you.

Its good that you found expressing yourself helps you heal, as you put it. My wife likes drawing and watching Bob's Burgers. We have definitely been through a lot of the issues you've expressed and I know its hard, especially trusting medical providers and medications. She had one psychiatrist she really trusted where we used to live and has been skeptical of everyone since. I've been fortunate because she trusts me and knows that I know when things are or aren't working or when the world changes colors and I am there as the one constant to remind her that things will be ok and we can figure it out. Or when she's at work and starts hearing voices and the bugs come back and I need to remind her to take a little extra haldol and sit in a quiet place for about half an hour and it'll go away (thank God she has an understanding boss).

My story aside, depakote can be total ass for some people. It can have shit side effects and make you really lethargic, but it still has its uses. If you don't think its right for you, you are well within your rights to ask to try something else. Good luck.

Fun fact for those of you who stream from a gaming pc to laptop/steamdeck/whatever: you can add 3rd party games (like those off GOG) to steam and stream them without buying them on steam.

Along that same line, the best option is to give it to a professional for this kind of repair. It'll definitely cost more than doing it yourself, but you know it'll be done right and still be cheaper than buying a new part.

Your problem is you are probably using an impact driver numbers vs impact wrench. Even compact battery impact wrenches can get over 300 ft-lbs of breakaway torque. The beefiest consumer cordless can get over 1000. That'll rip those lug nuts right off.

Not in the slightest. It only cuts it so you can increase your yield at the cost of needing to sell a fundamentally different product.

That is pretty horrifying. I'm pretty confident these guys are legit though.

You can see when they banned porn on Tumblr.
